The students shift their gazes, unsure on how to react, whether they would agree or not, whether they would answer at all. But one of the students, a boy, got up from his table. In his eyes were conviction.
"I agree. I don't want Aimi to go alone" (Random student), the boy who stand up said. This cause some kind of chain reaction and others soon followed him.
"I also want to help. I want to lend whatever I have to save this world." (Random student)
"If Aimi will go, I would too. Sign me up please." (Random student)
"Going to war without thinking ones safety, you're so cool Aimi. I also want to join you guys" (Random student)
"I would try my best to help also." (Random student)
"Ah wait, you guys are going? Don't leave me, I'll also join you guys" (Random student)
"It's not like I hate it, I'll join too" (Random student)
And something along those lines were said with each of the students. Even Iso eventually agreed and joined them to help the humans of this world. When it was settled, the Priest Leader has a smile on his face. The Priest leader seems satisfied with the results
Whatever is left of the students appear to endorse and accept the way things are. All things considered, it appeared that everybody would take an interest in the war. Probably the schoolmates did not really comprehend what it was intended to go to war.
Now that they all agreed to fight the demon king, they would need to be trained. After all, they were all just regular students that were not use to war. Suddenly fighting and going to war will not be a good idea.
However, the priest and others involved in the summoning had already predicted this might happen. The realm had a incredibly close association with the Church. The relationship was well-built because the church help sustain this realm.
The kingdom gladly lent their help. They would assist in training the summoned heroes. That would facilitate the training ground and provide the mentors that would teach the heroes in both combat and magic.
Those things were explained by the Priest Leader while the students were eating. Iso wonder who has more influence from the two faction, the church or the monarchy? In earth's past, the roman catholic church has more power than the king, would it be the same in this world?
"Today also, the king and his family will grace you with their presence. They want to personally meet the heroes that will save the world." (Priest Leader)
As if on cue, the door opened to reveal four well-dressed people. They entered graciously and with authority. Just by seeing the crown on his head, you could guess that the one leading them is the king. Beside him was the queen, wearing a matching crown.
Following from behind were two boys. One seems to be the older of the two. They wore similar navy blue clothes that seems to be high-class. The two also have swords on their waist. But it looks like it was more for display than for battle. They might be as well twins
The king approached the priest leader and held his hand. The king kiss the ring on it to show respect. The Priest leader also seem to give him a blessing. Iso saw that the priest leader is also showing his respect to the king. It might be that the church and the monarchy are on equal ground. But what to say that they didn't have a history of a struggle for power?

The queen and the two prince also followed the king example. After that, the king and the rest of the royal family face the students.
"Heroes, I am Lus K. Levine. This is my wife and my queen, Fey Dia K. Levine. These are my two sons, Blair and Kip Levine. We greatly welcome you in our world and hope to work well with you all. We thank you for deciding to help us in our darkest hours. We appreciate it and may the gods be on our side"
Claps resounded in the room after the king talk. They quickly left because they have somewhere else to go. They have a strictly tight schedule so the students won't be encountering them at times. Especially now that war was imminent with the kingdom and the world in danger.
After them, the lords and ladies, the knight commander, the general, barons and baroness, and other high status people introduce themselves, welcomed, and thanked the students. Though it should be noted that not all officials were presence, as said by the Priest Leader.
The students all listened to this while eating the food they were given. It was similar to the foods that were serve in medieval times. But there were also food that was entirely different and new to the students. This must be a unique animal or something of this world
They were further introduced to the trainers that would teach them. The mentors were handpicked from the first class Knights, high rank Mages, experienced Warriors, and much more. This would consent to them to build up friendships for the imminent war.
There were so many that were introduced that the sun was already setting. Some students already look tired. So much has happen to them. They seem already exhausted. Iso wasn't exempted.
He was dozing off as the last ones finally finish introducing themselves. He jolt awake as he subconsciously know that it was done.
At first though, he was attentive and tried to memorize all the names and rank of the people here. It might come handy in the future, he reasoned to himself.
But eventually there was too much that he gave up. The ones introduced wasn't even the whole membership of the higher authorities. And it was only this country's nobles. They are probably several, no hundreds of countries in this world.
"Well, that is all for today. You will meet the other nobles in the near future. Now, I'm sure you're all tired, that is why we're now going to lead you to your quarters. Your rooms were made especially for you heroes. We made sure it will be comfortable and give you well rest sleep." (Priest Leader)
They all stand up and were lead outside the room. The plates and tables they left were quickly attended to and cleaned. And the doors were closed behind them. Iso followed them and he was somewhere in front of the group. He wanted to be there so that he could hear what the Priest leader might say.
He tried to stay attentive but he was exhausted even though he just sat and listened the whole time. So much has happened.
"Tomorrow, you will be quickly guided for your training after you eat breakfast. So please get a good night sleep and don't stay awake all night. Breakfast will be serve at seven in the morning. We have also prepared several clothes for you all at your rooms."
Each student were assigned individual rooms. As each students were lead to their own room, Iso notice something. Each time his classmates entered their room, the priest leader secretly chanted something and something clicked at the door.
Iso initiative told him that the priest leader was locking the door by magic. It was suspicious and he was scared being lock on his own room. What if they were lock forever?
Iso tried to reassure himself that the priest leader was only doing that so the students won't just come out the room to cause chaos. Wait, what was this priest name again?
He tried to remember if ever the priest leader said his name to them. All this time, he was calling him 'priest leader' and doesn't really know his name.
Maybe he just missed it or never heard it. It's not yet important for him to know.
His thoughts were cut off when the priest leader signalled for him to enter the room in front of them. It was probably the room assigned for him.
"Make yourself at home" (Priest leader)
He entered reluctantly into the room. The door quickly closed behind him. He heard the chant of the priest leader and the clicking sound afterwards.
He tried to open the door and his guess was right, the door was bolt shut. Nothing to do but to stay in this room and wait for tomorrow. He would be sure to ask the priest leader his name. It might be a vital information later on.
The room was luxurious, something like those you see in a five star hotel but without the modern items. Still the room allowed for all the stress and problems he got today to be forgotten temporarily, at least for the night. Iso rest on the bed and he gradually drifted off to sleep.
