Monsters in the Abyss part 1

Have you ever wondered what does life ever wanted from you? There are times where life beats you to the ground and you can't get up, but there are times where people no matter what they do they never fall from grace they are on. But there are times where people get beaten down to the ground no matter how many times, but they still get back better then ever and still goes on their path to the greatness, sacrificing thing or two. This is the story of two boys who were basically nobodies, but they rose to the sky with their heads up high!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hurry up brother you don't wanna be late now do you?" said the young man with black hair with brown eyes with kind face and slim body type.

"Sure, sure, coming, you don't need to lecture me Haji..." said another young man who is almost identical to the first boy with exception of more builded body type and messy clothes that screamed delinquent.

They were walking to the school together and they were almost running late to the classes. But nonetheless they made it and sit down in their chairs and relaxing that they made it in time before the bell rung. Everything was okay until...

"Oh look this is our little good neighborhood otaku..." said the young man who had a grin on his face. He had long brown hair and brown eyes.

"H-hello Hiyama..." Hajime said with timidly voice and looked a little scared of his bully.

"So how have you been? Playing eroge games and jackin off this weekend?" Hiyama laughed at his joke while couple other classmates joined as well.

"Do you mind shut the fuck up, before I made you into bicky and send you into bakery for their opinion how I made it." said the same young man with his delinquent clothes.

"Dude chill it's just a joke Zaiko" said Hiyama with a ting for scared voice.

"Better be a joke if not prepare a package for nearby bakery" said Zaiko with monotone voice not backing down on this argument.

"Calm down Zaiko, I'm sure he didn't meant nothing of it..." said Hajime trying to calm down his brother.

"You're too nice for your own good you know that Haji." releasing a sigh said Zaiko to his brother.

"Our mother says the same thing, but I can't change it." said with a smile Hajime, while Zaiko just chuckled at this.

"Good morning Hajime-kun! Always late as usual you should come earlier next time, but looking at your brother I can guess that isn't possible, no offense Zaiko-kun." said the beatiful young girl with brown eyes and long dark hair that reaches her waist with nice smile adorning her face.

"None taken. I like to sleep too much and nobody can change that. By the way, good morning Shirasaki." laughed a bit Zaiko and her statement.

"Good morning Shirasaki." said with a smile Hajime looking straight at her. But strangely enough Zaiko noticed some nasty glances at their direction from couple classmates.

"Good morning guys, isn't this this hard on you too every day?" said beautiful girl with red colored eyes and a long black hair that is tied up in a ponytail.

"So Kaori is looking for them again huh? Seriously Kaori is too kind" said the young man with good looks that said 'ikemen'. He has silky brown hair and gentle eyes.

"So it's them again? It's basically useless what you say to them." said the young man with bulky physique. He has short trimmed hair and a gaze that appears both cheerful and stern.

"Tch... Eat what you say mongrel." replied Zaiko with his intence gaze landing on the muscle giant.

"Calm down brother, don't start a scene. Sorry for his behavior and good morning Yaegashi-san, Amanogawa-kun, Sakagami-kun." tried to calm down Zaiko with succeeded, but barely while Zaiko still has his gaze on Sakagami.

"Well guys stop taking advantage Kaori's kindness she can't take care for you forever you know? *mutters* even that delinquent, he's too high for his own good." said Amanogawa losing a smile on his face and lecturing the brothers. That statement didn't go unheard by both brothers, while Hajime looked away, but Zaiko glanced at Kouki. Conversation ended with a bell signaling the class start.

{*Timeskip*}

Bell rung signaling the class end and every body went to get lunch while some people got their bentos for lunch. While two brothers pull out their bentos and finish at the fast pace almost like they were hungry for whole day not getting any food. Zaiko wanted to take a little nap before class starts but God had another plans for them.

Right there and then strange pure white circle appeared in the middle of the class with complex design under their feets. It was getting brighter and brighter until it just exploded. The classroom was left empty with huge hole in the roof and missing students.

{*ZA WARUDO*}

The first thing Zaiko with Hajime notice that they are in some sort of massive chamber. The entire room was made of white stone that looked smooth to touch. Massive pillars with sculptures carved into them that rose up to the towering ceiling. You can say the whole room reminded the cathedral. The class were standing on some sort of plinth located in the room. Whole class was dumbfounded of this encounter and looking around checking were they are.

As the class were looking around they missed some sort of pope coming their way and spoke.

"Welcome to Tortus, brave heroes. I'm the pope of Holy Church, Ishtar Langbard. It's a honor to meet you heroes." the old man spoke, who called himself Ishtar, with good looking smile said to the students. "I know you people have many questions at the moment and I will answer them truthfully, so may heroes follow my lead and go new place."

The new room, the old man guided to, was lavishly built as the first room. The layout implied that it looked like some sort of banquet hall. Aiko Hatayama and the Kouki's group claimed the first seats, soon followed the whole class. Hajime and Zaiko sat very end of the table. Everyone had hard time to process what to do and were really stressed, but with Kouki's charisma help calmed down the whole class. Aiko-sensei watched with tears in her eyes as she witnessed that student did better job to calm down students then her.

The moment everyone calmed down, a number of carts entered the room, that were pushed by maids that were gorgeous and had good assets in every places. Male students of course had just to ogle at them but for Hajime wasn't any better, because he felt intence and fearful gaze struck him that made him really sweat up a bit and shiver. As Hajime risked to take a glance around, he saw Kaori beaming him a smile for a far, so he just pretended that he didn't even felt anything. For Zaiko it wasn't any better as well, he felt intence gaze as well that made him look around who was looking at him, but strangely as he looked it just vanished like it wasnt even there. So he just shrugged with it like it was his imagination and left it at that. When maids finished placing refreshments, the old man spoke again.

"I'm really certain that everyone is feeling very confused about the situation you are all in. I shall explain everything in order, but all I ask is to listen to the end and start your questions after I finish talking." the pope stated his reason to the whole class.

He started the story that humans and devils had strained relationship and they were at war for hundred years. Devils had low numbers, but they overpowered the numbers in power category which humans clearly lacked in, clearly balancing it out. Both sides are currently in the stalemate and nobody apperiantly made a move as of late. However, they noticed that there were some movement in the devil ranks and that included that they are taming monsters in their ranks, which were bad for humans because they lacked the power at all for them. Now that the monster situation changed everything, humans are in the big disadvantage and it basically threatened their race in this world.

"Now the one who summoned you is a blessed lord, Ehit. I suspect that he answered our prayers and realised that humanity were in trouble. That's were you heroes are chosen by our lord, blessed by him, and therefore surpass the human strength in this world." Ishtar paused for a minute then continued. "Well then as the whole story is done, I implore you what the Ehit has willed you to do. Save the humanity from extinction and defeat the demons."

As he finished his speech, whole class were loss for words and nobody had any say what to do at this moment and what to do. Hajime just stared at this cup and looking at the liquid that was in it. Zaiko didn't even had any better, he had no words for this, but something was nagging him that everything this old man said sounds little off, you can say he's irrationally anxious about this, but his gut feeling never lied to him. That's where Aiko Hatayama stood up for the students.

"You can't be serious about this!? You're telling the children to fight a war, that just wrong! As a teacher I can't allow this! Sent us back from where we came from, they have families and they are probably worried sick about them." teacher finished her say, but it basically dissmised by the pope.

"I understand your worries...but I can't do that." said the Ishtar with sour face. as that sentence dropped basically Aiko-sensei just plopped and her chair murmuring something under her nose.

The whole hall then basically fell into panic. Some students even started shouting complains about this summoning of theirs. Hajime as well fell into panic, but not that big one, as a otaku, he read about this kind of stuff so probably he got some cool ability. Zaiko was a lost for words, he just literally wanted to do nothing today, but some bullshit self proclaimed god just had to but in to his business and summon him somewhere and defeat demons. As everyone was freaking out, Kouki stood up and started his speech.

"There's nothing we can do about this. I..... I for sure will stand and fight, if not these people will be killed. Knowing that I can't possibly let them to their tragic fate. And besides when we save them we probably will be able to come back home. Isn't that right Ishtar?" Kouki stated his say strongly with his voice.

"I believe that is very possible, and God Ehit will grant that request to come back home." Ishtar reasured his words.

With Kouki's charisma whole class got hope back and whole attention switched to him who is now unofficial leader of the class. Swept along with the flow, the students also agreed to fight with their might much to the Aiko-sensei's dismay to stop them from this thinking. However, much to their talks probably most of them doesn't know what war looks like, nor they fathom it. In a sense they may just preserve they sanity with the hope Kouki is giving them. Zaiko noticed that Ishtar had pleasant smile on his face that he took note of.

Unknown to them Ishtar already knew how to infuence them, because he monitored Kouki's speech and how to speak to him just to fight for them. It was obvious he saw through Kouki's personality.
