"Finally, they're gone. Dealing with annoying creatures like humans is such a pain. My specific incantation was for the purpose of summoning five human souls with the highest Soul-Energy, but I ended up with kids?"
Her initial purpose? Summon humans with the greatest Soul-Energy, she never expected the humans summoned would be teenagers.
"Well, judging from the energy emanating from their bodies when I interacted with them, they possess enough Soul-Energy to complete the task, but."
This led her to the greatest worry she held in while conversing with the five students.
'The purpose of my spell was to summon humans with exceptional Soul-Energy, however out of the five students summoned only four met the requirements.' She thought.
During their conversation, she couldn't help but notice the poor Soul-Energy the fifth student, Rentaro Mizuno had.
"Was there an error in my incantation?"
Systematically speaking, even an average human in the world the kids were transported to had a more considerable Soul-Energy than him. Theoretically it was impossible, humans from earth aren't supposed to be equal to the average humans from the other world.
"I can't send his soul back to the world of the dead while he lives again, I just hope he won't be a burden to the rest of the the team." She said, with a voice filled with disdain as she resented the choice she made to transport Rentaro along with the rest of them.

[Xen Reef High]
[12:00PM]
In the backyard of an academy, five students laid on the ground unconscious, they appeared lifeless. That was until a bright light illuminated the entirety of the school.
Following the light's immediate dispersion, the five students arose from their slumber instantly, gasping for air as their nervous system completely shut down for a considerate amount of time before the light.
They all rose to their feet, tapping the side of their clothing cautiously.
"I feel like I've been blasted to the past."
The five students had nearly almost the same similarities as the five the goddess summoned, they even had the same names. What set them apart was the age they were from.
Yes, unlike their previous modernized world, they were transported to another world that was ages behind them. Currently, they were in the 15th century.
"Well since it looks like we'll be working together, you probably already know me but for a proper introduction my name's Ren Drear, nice to meet you." With a radiant smile that lit the mood, Ren introduced himself to the two girls.
"Umm, nice to meet you too I guess." They replied.
His smile grew thin as he felt his pride melting, usually his charm attracted many girls to him. But that wasn't the case.
'You guess?' He thought, his radiant smile squeezing along with his apparent shame.
The two girls ran towards Mizuko, not only did they view him as more attractive, they both crushed on him even before their deaths. After all that was one of the perks of being overpopular.
"What are we going to do now Mizuko?"
"Hey, stop getting too close to him!"
The two girls, Mei and Yui argued back and forth about each other's closeness to him.
"Seriously? We just died and they still fight over him?" Ren thought.
It is a normal feeling of jealousy any average teen would feel, however with Mizuko it became unbearable.
"Right now, we have to understand the world we are in. I'm sure you've noticed by now, this is not at all what we're used to. So in order for this to work, we all need to work together. Do you agree, Rentaro?"
With a demeanor that exuded his superior decision making abilities, he asked fixating his gaze on Rentaro.
Despite the difference in status, Rentaro and Mizuko were actually close friends long before he attained popularity. However he became so popular even among the teachers that he rarely had time for anybody in general.
"Who is that guy?"
"I've never seen him in class before, is he a transfer student? Or perhaps from another class?"
Both girls asked, whispering in each other's ears.
"What are you five doing over there!?" A loud voice proclaimed, calling the attention of the five students who conversed with each other.
A woman dressed in a pink kimono approached them, visibly upset by their presence behind the school. She was attracted by the loud noise the girls made while arguing.
"Judging by your uniforms you are all final year students aren't you? What are you doing here? Normally I'd punish you for sneaking around but we don't have time for that, the selection is about to begin."
Her presence demanded respect, each word that left her mouth exuded the authority she possessed. This woman is the current principal of the Xen Academy, Principal Hana.
"Go to back to the selection class now!"
Taken away by her authority, the five students left the backyard immediately and ventured into the school through the back door.
They had no idea where they were going but given their destination was already announced, they searched the tags nailed above each door till they came across a door that had the tag [Selection Class] nailed above it.
Pushing the door open, their eyes met with the eyes of 25 other students seated row by row. In front of their seats was a wide table with a man standing behind it and two teachers besides him, resting on top the table was a medium sized golden orb.
"You're late, please take a seat." The man announced, instructing the five students as Principal Hana entered after them.
They all filled the remaining seats left, completing the final year class that was summoned here.
"Now that you're all here let's begin." The man cleared his throat, silencing the soft murmurs that filled the air.
"My name is Alister Vance, the two besides me are my associates, I'm an agent of the Soul Hunter's Association, you could also say I'm a recruiter. I'm sure many of you had long awaited for this day, but before we can proceed. I'll have to inform you on what is about to happen, the process of your Talent Awakening."
