Chapter 564 [ Tortus - I ]

"I see you're still hanging out with Nagumo, Strife" - said a handsome boy with light brown hair and a well-defined physique.

"Do you want me to beat you up again, Kouki?" - Cloud asked while squinting his eyes - "Because you still don't seem to understand that my friends are not your problem."

"Easy, Cloud, you don't have to be so upset" - interrupted a pretty girl with black hair, combed into a ponytail, red eyes and breasts that were above average - "Tell her something, Kaori"

"I'm sorry, Shizuku-chan, but this time I agree with Cloud-kun" - replied Kaori while crossing her arms - "That was rude, Kouki-kun, Nagumo-kun doesn't deserve to be treated so badly, he's a good person."

Kouki frowned before apologizing to Hajime, however, he remained annoyed with the blond.

"Damn spoiled brat" - Cloud muttered because this was a normal thing for Kouki, to always get upset when things didn't go right, or when someone didn't follow the natural order of things.

"That wasn't very nice, Cloud, you need to relax a bit" - said Shizuku while looking at the blond boy - "I know Kouki can be a bit annoying sometimes, but you don't need to use violence to make your point."

"That's the only way to make him understand that my business, is not his problem" - Cloud replied with a frown - "Anyway, where's the other one of the dynamic duo? Normally, those two are always together."

"Ryutaro? He said he'd be late because he had to go to the dentist" - replied Shizuku as she shrugged - "By the way, remember we have a sparring match after lunch time"

"I know" - nodded Cloud calmly as he watched Shizuku leave with a small smile.

"That Shizuku-chan" - muttered Kaori with jealousy.

Hajime slowly backed away as he was starting to be terrified of the dark aura surrounding the peaceful girl.

"I see someone's in trouble" - said Rika, who was entering the classroom together with her friends - "Don't you think so too, Yuka?"

"Hmm, Cloudcchi is still as popular as ever" - nodded a cute girl with long dark brown hair, and green eyes - "I'm surprised you're not interested in him after living together for so long, Rukacchi."

"I guess that's just why, I know him too well" - smiled Rika as she walked to the blond - "Me!"

"It's good to see you arrived" - Cloud replied as he gave her a blank look.

"I know, I missed you too" - Rika replied as she shrugged - "Anyway, I think it's time for you to go help your friend."

Cloud looked back, and noticed how a brown-haired boy was tormenting his friend.

"Tch, that idiot I don't understand" - Cloud muttered as he got up from his seat and walked to where Hajime was.

There were few things that truly bothered him, and one of this was tormenting the weak on a mere whim or to feel better about himself.

"You don't learn, do you?" - Cloud asked when he reached his destination.

"Strife!" - exclaimed the brown-haired boy, only to scowl - "Mind your own business, Strife, this is between Nagumo, and me!"

"It's my business when you attack my friend, Hiyama" - Cloud growled as he narrowed his eyes - "Now leave him alone before I break your legs."

"Tch" - Daisuke Hiyama left with his friends as they looked at the blond with hostility.

"Are you okay, Hajime?" - Cloud asked as he helped his friend, only to hear him let out a small groan of pain - "I'll take that as a no."

"When he pushed me, he twisted my foot" - Hajime muttered as he opened his bag and let out a sigh of relief when he saw that his game was in perfect condition.

Cloud shook his head as he helped his friend get up and carry him to the infirmary.

"That bastard" - Daisuke muttered angrily as via as Kaori watched him leave with a smile - "Tch."

* * * * *

"Well, guys, it's time to start classes" - said a pretty woman with dark brown hair. She had a petite body for her age and a friendly attitude that made everyone feel at ease around her - "Huh? Where is he, Nagumo-kun?"

"He's in the infirmary, Ai-chan-sensei" - Yuka replied as she gave Daisuke an annoyed look for how childish he was for treating one of her classmates so badly.

Daisuke ignored her.

"Don't call me Ai-chan!" - Aiko Hatayama exclaimed as she looked around tears in her eyes "Uh, ok, I'll go check on him later, for now let's get started with class."

The students were getting ready to be able to start, when they saw with surprise how everything around them started to glow with an intense golden color.

"What's going on!" - Ryutaro, who had arrived 2 minutes earlier, exclaimed.

"Cloud-kun!" - Kaori exclaimed as she tried to grab the blond's hand.

Shizuku tried to do the same, but she couldn't get any closer because everything in the room disappeared.

* * * * *

"They're waking up" - said an older voice.

"Ugh, where are we?" - asked Kouki as he grabbed his head - "And why does my head hurt?"

"Be quiet, my head hurts" - growled Cloud as he opened his eyes and looked around, only to notice how they were in some sort of temple.

"Welcome, heroes" - said an older man who was dressed as a priest - "I am the Pope of the church of the saints, my name is Ishtar Lombard, and I can't contain the happiness of finally being able to see your magnificent forms."

". . ." - Cloud was silent as he slowly analyzed the situation. He finally understood his mission and what he had to do from now on.

This was obviously a massive summoning, though at the same time, the blond could sense that the old pope's words were not honest.

"Heroes?" - Kaori asked as she looked around worriedly.

The other students began to murmur and shout excitedly at this news, but there were a few people who were frowning.

"I think they are ignoring something important" - said Cloud seriously - "How will we get home?"

The students' excitement, faded as a small group was starting to get nervous.

"I promise that we will explain everything calmly soon, but for now I kindly ask you to follow us" - mused the pope of the church as he looked at the young people with an almost imperceptible smile.

Cloud noticed this and frowned even more, but said nothing to expose it.

The group quickly followed the pope of the church of the saints, until they reached a strange room with a huge table with many chairs.

"You may be seated" - Ishtar said as he pointed to the chairs.

When he saw that everyone was seated, he began to explain the situation.

He began, first saying about the world they had been summoned to, [Tortus], as well as the one responsible for the whole situation of the class, the creator god [Ehit] because they needed help in order to save the world from the demons that had been at war with them for years.

Kouki quickly accepted the mission to save the world along with a huge group of the students.

"This is ridiculous!" - Aiko exclaimed as she pounded the table - "You're endangering my students for a war they have no business fighting!"

"Ehit-sama gave them his blessing, and being summoned people, their [Stats] are much higher than normal" - Ishtar replied as he tugged on his beard.

The students looked at each other in surprise because this was like a game.

"Guys!" - Aiko exclaimed in surprise and anger that her students didn't see the danger they were in.

"Aiko sensei is right, but let's leave that for another time" - said Cloud as he looked around and noticed how everyone seemed to be looking at him silently - "First let's ask how to get back home."

"I'm sorry, but we can't send you back" - replied Ishtar as he shook his head.

Aiko started to scream furiously as the girls in the group started to cry.

"Calm down, I can assure you that when your mission is over, you will be able to return home" - said a girl who was wearing a hood and a cloak that covered a large part of her body.

The boys could only observe the girl's pretty emerald green eyes, along with delicate small pink lips.

She slowly removed the hood, revealing long blonde hair, combed into a ponytail along with a small silver tiara.

"It is a promise that I, Liliana S.B. Heiligh, second princess of the kingdom of Heiligh, plan to carry out" - the girl said as she looked at each of those present.

"Princess!" - exclaimed those present as they looked at the girl.

Cloud raised an eyebrow, but showed no other expression because this was something normal in a situation like this, even, he wouldn't be surprised if she was one of the heroines that the protagonist could capture, although if he was honest, he wasn't interested in the girl, not because she wasn't beautiful, but because he didn't feel this kind of attraction.

Liliana tilted her head to the side when she noticed the blonde boy, more so when she noticed that he was different from the rest, not only because of his appearance which was very similar to her, but because of his aura - "Hmm."
