Chapte 1
The Summoning in the Grand Hall
The world Spun into blinding light. Kuroya Arata slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself standing on a cold, polished marble floor.
Golden torches burned along the vast hall their light casting shadows towering banners that hung from the ceiling.
Dozens of nobles lined the sides of the hall, their whispers sharp and curious. At the far end, Seated upon a throne of gold and crimson, was in regal robes a man - The King.
Arata wasn't alone. Two of his classmates had appeared beside him.
One of them, a boy with sharp freatures, Slick dark hair, and cold, restless eyes, clenched his fists and stepped forward. His voice trembled between anger and disbelief.
"W-What the hell is this? we were just on the road! How... how did we get here!?". His very presence carried of arrogance. This was Takashi Renji - brash, unpredictable, an edge that made him feel more dangerous than dependable.
Next to him stood a girl with long chestnut hair tied neatly by a ribbon. Her hands trembled slightly she looked around, her as eyes wide in shock, yet a strange relief Softened her part of her face as if some longed for escape from her old world. This was
Miyazaki Hana - thoughtful gentle and braver.
Arata remained silent. His black hair fell slightly over his calm steady eyes. while his classmate with panic and disbelief, he simply stood, his gaze fixed on the scene unfolding before them.
The nobles whispered louder. "Are these... the heroes?" So young... , can they truly protect us?"
Suddenly, the king rose from his throne. His deep voice carried through the grand hall."Heroes! We have summoned you here by ancient prophecy.
Please... protect our kingdom, protect our world."
Rengi's face twisted in disbelief. His voice echoed across the hall. "Hah?! What is all this? Tsk... is this some kind of game, I want to go home! Just send me back already!"
Hana, though shaken, bit her lip and said nothing - a flicker of relief crossing her face, as though some hidden weight had been lifted from her.
Arata finally moved, quietly. helping Hana steady herself as she nearly lost balance.
The king's voice softened.
"I am Sorry... but there is no way to return you to your world. Not yet. Our Magician's still researching, but for now..."
He paused - then, to the shock of everyone, the king bowed deeply before three. The nobles, ministers, and guards followed at once,
lowering their heads until the hall was filled with the sound of rustling fabric and clinking armor.
"Please, hero's...save this world and protect our people".
The weight of the moment pressed down on all three classmates. Renji quiet .
Hana's breath trembled in silence. Arata shock but still stood silent , unreadable.
After a raised tense silence, the king his head.
"We shall test your abilities Soon. But for now, please rest. Personal chambers have been prepared for you."
The nobles and servants slowly withdrew, leaving the vast hall empty. The king stepped down from his throne and walked into the shadows of a side chamber.
Outside, his voice lowered into
a whisper. "They have arrived."
From within the chamber, a woman's voice responded softly.
"Yes... Your Majesty.
And the heavy doors closed.
