Black Iron Magician

Chapter 2 Class Summoning

They couldn’t understand what had happened. They wake up in the morning, attend school, and take classes as usual. When that was over, it was customary to enjoy a moment of freedom. Some worked hard in their club activities and some that have no objective in particular spend their time with their friends. It was just unchanging everyday life, the usual everyday scenery. Yes, they should have been spending their time as usual, but there was a scene that was far from their usual life.

――――The time has stopped. Some were looking at their friends from the other class who were going to go home together, some were looking at balls that were stopped mid-air. They realized everything has stopped except their classmates. They didn’t have time to get upset because a mysterious magic circle appeared next at their feet. The sublime glow was terribly beautiful, but to them, there was only fear in this abnormal situation. Their consciousness faded as if being swallowed by fear.

The next time they wake up is in the darkness where no light comes in. However, the mysterious magic circle that’s drawn on the floor dimly illuminates the area, helping them to maintain visibility even though a little. The first ones to wake up were those who felt the stone floor’s coldness. Then, they find their classmates lying on the floor and start waking them up.

「Haruna, get up, Haruna!」

「Hmm… huh? Chinatsu-chan …?」

Katsuragi Haruna, who had fallen in sportswear, seems to have not fully awakened. Nonetheless, she does not seem to be injured, so Rokusai Chinatsu, a girl in uniform with glossy beautiful hair that stretches all the way to her waist, takes a breath in relief.

「Umm… Chinatsu-chan, where is this? I feel like I was in the middle of running … uh, but I saw a weird dream on the way.」

「You also saw that, huh. Is that like this magic circle on the floor?」

「Ah! Yes, this is it!」

Haruna was surprised at the exactly drawn magic circle and reflexively raised a loud voice. At this time, most of the classmates around seemed to awake, so Haruna lightly gathered their attention.

「… Ahaha. Looking at the situation, are all of our classmates here?」

「Un, it seems like that. I woke up not long ago, so I don’t know where this is. I was helping a teacher until just before, but suddenly he and the scenery stopped… I guess the rest is the same as you.」

Since Chinatsu is the class president who has good conduct and top grade in this year, she’s often getting relied on by the teachers even after school. In addition, her beautiful appearance surpasses the rest. Her white skin and lush black hair are truly neat and very popular with boys.

「Haruna, did you get called again as a helper for a club activity? You sweat a lot. Err, here. Use my handkerchief.」

「Ah, thank you. I’ve been on the soccer club’s field until a while ago, I did a bit of light exercise before the match.」

Haruna, who shakes her cute ponytail, received the cute pink handkerchief from Chinatsu. Her wet hair is probably due to the light exercise.

She and Chinatsu are childhood friends from elementary school, and they are best friends who have been on good terms for a long time. If Chinatsu is at the top of the academic this year, Haruna is a sports girl who is attracting attention from other schools due to her club activities and martial arts.

She didn’t intend to be involved in any particular club activity like this, but only her name placed in every club. Although she is small, her overwhelming athletic ability and sense make her always being invited. She often participates in various competitions as a helper like this.

Her concentration whenever she decided to do something is outstanding, she’ll be able to grasp everything from start to the end of short time training. She was especially good at martial arts, such as kendo and karate, and there were times she won the whole country.

「Jeez, you always doing that. Still, I’m a little relieved to see the usual Haruna. The only light source here is only this light, so you can’t see what’s going on around. That’s why everyone is uneasy…」

「You’re right, it’s pitch dark. Ah, but there seems to be a door.」

「… Why you can see it?」

「Ehehe, I’ve always had good night-eyes.」

「You are not a cat….」

‘Come to think of it, Haruna always had good eyes,’ when Chinatsu is thinking such things while being half amazed, there is a heavy sound from the door that Haruna pointed out.

「W-what?」

「Calm down, i-it’ll be okay.」

The students who didn’t know what was inside the darkness were frightened by the sudden sound. Haruna and Chinatsu would have had the same reaction if they had not known in advance. A dazzling light comes in from the opened door and several figures of people can be seen. And then, one of them uttered a voice.

「Hohoho, please calm down. We are not enemies.」

It was an old man’s voice who’s wearing a white hooded robe. The old man has a good-natured old man atmosphere, but his clothes that are so different from the modern era make the students more cautious. A religion? Are we being kidnapped? Those thoughts are what swirl in their heads. The old man shows a wry smile when he guessed that, he then begins to explain.

「Forgive my rudeness. I should have explained this situation first. I’m sorry for the late introduction, my name is Joseph. I’m a person who’s being granted an exalted position by this country, the Magic Kingdom Adelheit. This time I’m being entrusted with an important task to welcome you, people from another world, as heroes.」

While the students were stunned, the old man Joseph continued to explain.

This world is different from the world they were in, and they were summoned as heroes to save Adelheit. In this world, there are monsters and Demon King, humans’ enemy who controls monsters. There’s not just one Demon King, they are monsters who sit at the top of organizations that have divided into several factions. And one of them has built a stronghold in the continent where this country is in.

――――et cetera, the explanations are being abbreviated and it is quite rough. Chinatsu was somehow felt bothered by Joseph’s behavior. However, as the story went on, the other students were so excited contrary to Chinatsu.

「Oi, does that mean we are heroes? We are heroes!?」

「We are being transported! Yeah!」

Mainly boys, no, even some girls can’t hide their joy.

「Hey, why are you so happy!? Weren’t you doubting them as a doubtful religion a while ago!?」

As the class president, Chinatsu shouted to suppress the excited group.

「Oh, right. Rokusai-san is unfamiliar with games or something like that, right?」

「Now now, please don’t get mad. Generally, there will be something decided after the explanations.」

However, they are not listening at all. Even though it’s not related to games, and is illegal detention and undeniable kidnapping. It’s as if they know what will happen after this.

「Chinatsu-chan, let’s be patient here. I feel like it’ll be bad if those people are paying attention to you…」

Haruna worriedly called out to Chinatsu, who was trying to persuade the others, while pulling her sleeve tip. Her sense of justice is getting suppressed by her best friend’s expression. For the time being, Chinatsu sits quietly next to Haruna.

「Hohoho, thank you for your generous heart. Let me start by explaining your status.」

Then, people in white robes that seemed to be Joseph’s subordinates carried things like thin stone plates.
