Chapter 2: Getting summoned to another world
(Alarm ringing voice) then with a thud the barely hanging in there alarm was now crashed into the floor and its ringing finally stopped weird right who would do that .
I'm already awake you stupid alarm and how come that you are like this and is still working .
Good morning mom, dad i bowed to the framed photos which belong to my deceased parents and sat up and headed to the bathroom to get ready for school .
My name is Ryuu sakurai a 16 years old orphan and now living in a small apartment near my school it was rented by some of the money from the inheritance that my parents left for me which was swallowed by my greedy relatives with the rest of the money from selling my family house .
Luckily i got a good grandparents from my mother's family side that offered to support me financially until i graduate from high school but like any boy my age i wanted a few luxury things that my grandparents won't be able to support me with so i have been working in my free time and have been having part-time jobs .
Can't believe my whole life changed by that much in two years since the accident that took my parents lives i thought while wearing my school uniform and finished getting ready and looked at the mirror to check how i looked .
I looked like a thug with unnatural blonde hair unkempt that i dyed myself with a blue colored eyes i didn't have any other distinctive features but i do have a nice smile if i stopped presenting myself as a thug i'm 177 cm tall and i'm not muscler i'm more on the lean side a reward for my continues labor but my facial features always have uninterested and unwelcoming expressions adding my thug like appearance i was pushing anyone that came my way away .
Why doing all that ? You see i was bullied through my middle school and it became worse with my parents gone so i was left to fend for myself something i sucked at when my parents were there but after they died i was already giving up on resisting their beating didn't do much damage i was already expecting my middle school to continue like this until that incident when some of those hooligans take their bullying on a childhood friend of mine a girl and wanted to harass her and some of them even began to glance in my direction while smiling all this while we were at school but since their leader Kiba Akiho was the son of the principal no one cared to even yell at them to stop and that's when i blacked out .
When i wake up i was standing in the center of those hooligans hearing them groaning in pain and my hands covered in both my blood and theirs too with Suki Hana the female friend of mine trying to lead me to somewhere else other than this place hurriedly and the results of this skirmish that i wasn't able to remember much about was my grandparents coming to apologize in my behalf to the principal and to the parents of those that as the principal phrased it those that i intentionally harmed they did it because it was either this or an being expelled from the school and with that happening any chance to retaliate with violence against those bullies was squished so i resorted to try to convince them that i'm not that weak person they used to bully anymore and that i had changed so they better watch out from my retaliation so i had to change my style so i dyed my hair began to frown in the classroom a bit more smashing a few things here and there and it worked quite well .
The bullies kept their distance from me and Hana with their leader Akiho still saying some tasteless remarks from time to time the last year in my middle school life ended peacefully and my first year in high school too now i'm interested in what surprises my next high school years will have for me .
I walked out of the building and began to head for the school and in five minutes or so i had already arrived to see a raven Haired girl standing at the gate sulking it was Hana .
Good morning Hana hope you have been well this summer .
She stood there and puffed her cheeks at me as if she was angry at me for something .
Is everything okay Hana ? . I asked .
Ryuu you didn't even reply to a single massage from me throughout the whole summer vacation that i thought that it was the wrong number and called it to make sure do you remember what you said .
I told you that i'm busy and that i would call you later and hanged up are you angry about that you know that i was really busy at that time working and all .
Ryuu open your cellphone in a threatening tone that sent shivers down my spine you see only Hana know that all this is only an act so i did what i was told and gave her the phone .
The mobile you have called is unavailable at the moment please try again later , who was she trying to call from her phone while holding mine , she then began to type something in my phone and then the phone was shoved into my face as she said .
Ryuu , call me back you blocked my number see .
What i saw left me with not knowing what to do to laugh or cry it was Hana contact information page in my cellphone with the current status being Blocked .
Don't laugh don't you dare to laugh i wat trying so hard not to laugh that i even begun to clench my hands and a few veins throbbed on top of my head anyone passing right now if seeing the current me and the a agreviated expression on Hana face or the angry expression she was currently making definitely will think that i'm robbing her or something luckily she was way more Reconcilable than most of the girls not that i know anyone other than her but from the other boys taking about how difficult to handle their girlfriends i kinda have an idea on how hard headed a girl can be .
I'm really really sorry Hana i don't even remember when i did this could you find it in your kind heart to forgive me .
I will accept your apology on one condition .
Please tell .
I wanted to go to the mall to buy a few things and it will be difficult for me to hold all that so could you lend me a hand .
If that what would it take i will do it friends ? .
Best friends , And we shook hands and reconciled .
Ready to go we will be late for the class like this .
Yeah , but let me make sure of something first .
The mobile you have called isn't available at the moment please try again later .
Rrrrrryyyyyuuuu and slapped me on the face .
But i wasn't able to readjust it the phone was in your hands all this time .
Hmph .
And we arrived at the classroom and our English teacher was already there writing something on the board Hana went in first and was easily excused while i got reprimanded for both being late and me frowning at the teacher while he was reprimanding me .
you want to know the reason for the rough treatment it was because of that foxy principal of ours he told most of the teachers to treat me like this but luckily most of them didn't create problems for me intentionally but the teacher in front of me was different mr.Kiba Sudo there were some rumors that he was the older brother of the principal and Kiba Akiho's uncle and i'm began to believe these rumors if i ever end up going to a bad college a big part would be attributed to him and his little brother but i know how to put him in his place you see after that incident i got a good bad reputation very effective against the likes of him .
I simply smiled while gritting my teeth at him he began to take a step back while sweating nervously as he ordered me to go back to my seat not even looking me in the eyes you see unlike our principal the older brother of his lack both composure and self-confidence he know that he is only here thanks to his brother help otherwise the complains about how bad his teaching skills were he would have been fired a long time ago but his brother was the one covering for him all along .
I sat at my seat in the back beside the window and thought for sometime about how bad to start the new semester like that when the door opened and here he was the blood sucking principal of ours looking cunningly in my direction what was he planning to do now ? .
Sorry to interrupt you teacher Kiba i was informed of a students making troubles for his teachers and classmates , how did he come here this quick .
Yes it was the doing of Sakurai kun , grown a backbone now that your brother is here .
Sakurai Ryuu your reckless behavior need to be stopped from now on to affect your classmates this time i will only give detention for three days in the library after school anymore and you will be expelled this is your last warning young man , yeah right like you didn't came from time to time to give me detentions for some ridiculous reasons in the last two years but i guess he won't be able to do it anymore .
The whole room lit up and a weird circle appeared on the ground of our classroom and some of my classmates began to glow while some other was sitting there as if nothing unusual was happening am i the only one seeing this no the principal had a weird look in his eyes and a glowing Hana reached to me and held my hand in hers as if seeking some comfort in doing this .
Something bad was really going on here but i don't know what , i began to glow too but weirdly i stopped glowing like the others i can see that 5 other people that were still glowing : Hana , Akiho , the student council president a girl her name if i was remembering correctly was Takumi Sora , Kiba Kuroya the principal and his older brother Sudo .
The same time that the circle began to shine more brightly the glowing that i had was already disappearing and with a blinding green light that forced us to close our eyes and when we opened it again we were in a whole different place that looked nothing alike our classroom we were in some weird cult rituals room and under us were the same inscriptions that were on the circle that appeared before finding our self here could it be that we all were hallucinating together .
Welcome saviors from another world no you aren't dreaming or hallucinating everything will be explained to you shortly , please follow me .
The woman who appeared in front of us was a good looking woman with a gold hair and a white holy attire holding what looked like some cane or a log of some sort looking a bit tired was she the one leading this cult i presumed then looked around and saw people wearing dark attires now panting heavily and some even seemed to be unconscious and what caught my attention was an hourglass that was filled with green light that now was laying down at the bottom of it then the whole hourglass vanished as if it was never there .
I found myself to be more calm in contrast to the scene that just happened in front of me why is that i then looked at the nun or whatever she was and asked : What's going on here, exactly ? .
Everything will be explained in just a second please follow me .
The other 4 were already following her and Hana was waiting for what i'm going to do i shock my head and held her hand and began to walk after them .
A few seconds and we finally found out what kind of place we were in a medieval huge castle was what i expected just from seeing the massive throne room the room was filled with guards donning some heavy armors standing in their position with a spear they looked dangerous just from their standing position and in this grand hall lays the most luxurious throne that dwarfed all those thrones that i read about in books or those historical thrones that were shown to us in some documentaries .
Let's just say that The armrests alone were embellished with precious gemstones like emeralds, rubies, and a few gemstones that i don't recognize all set in delicate gold settings, radiating an aura of wealth and power with the throne itself being decorated with two colors of red and gold radiating fineness and fierceness it also gives an oppressive feeling on those that looked at it for extensive amount of time .
The man or the giant who sat at the throne wore a crown to assert his position as the king he was taller and much bigger in size than us i guessed he might be 250 cm he had long red hair that was unkempt with brown eyes he was more muscler than those bodybuilders in my world he wore an open shirt normally unfit for his position as a king with an elegant gold colored cloak his facial features were rouge like and had a scar at one side of his face .
And to his left and right sat both a red haired girl his daughter maybe on the left and a blonde boy on the right behind them three men and one woman wearing gold colored cloaks as well as having a weird mark of a gold sword and grey shield on the back of their cloaks stood behind the throne as if backing the throne up against all obstacles .
Your majesty the heroes were summoned successfully as you wished , she bowed in his direction then turned to us and continue on saying respectfully : dear heroes you are in the presence of the king of Troland , Trollan the 7th .
Should we wave to him hello or what they don't expect us to bow just like that the three Kibas not missing a beat bowed directly with both Hana and Sora following after and that left me the only one standing as i was just thinking of what to do i was going to bow when the king said in a gruff voice a troll indeed was what i thought .
No need for formalities our heroes you were summoned here for one purpose and that is to help us defend our country and this world from the growing strength of a demon king if you have any questions you should postpone it until we measure your attributes and potential Reince start the assessment .
He said so but i still felt a threatening aura trying to oppress me he was really that pity ,Reince was that saintess of his she came with a few tablets and an orb , right did he just say attributes and potential can he even test something like that and what demon king that he expects that we will fight him on his behalf what is really going on .
Who is going to test first don't worry we only need a drop of blood on those tablets and for you to touch the orb to figure how many attributes you have .
At her words even the hypocritical three men backed off a little as i saw there bodies twitching but Reince assured them that it was necessary to find out their attributes and to also their registration applications for both their IDs and joining the adventurer's guild something all the people in the kingdom of Troland do at some point in their life or suffer the consequences the first one to be assessed was Kiba Akiho he punctured his finger and let one drop on the tablet the wound that would have took a day to heal healed instantly which shocked all of us .

Whoa that bully was a sword saint candidate i'm not the only one surprised the whole room quietened down after his tablet shone and a screen like those in video games appeared and announcement was even made loudly .
Reince : Congratulations your highness
King Trollan : Mr Akiho with you by our side i'm already optimistic about our fight with the demon king and the future of our kingdom .
Why my skills are only passive skills with only one skill being active and how even those attributes work could you explain more clearly .
Reince : in our world active skills is either earned by training hard or in some life and death situations or from skill books which are super rare but as a hero and a Sword Saint Trainee we will support you becoming the strongest sword saint as for the attributes it's another benefit of being summoned from another world every point of attribute represent numerical value of how strong you are compared to your previous world for example your strength now is 30 that means you are 30 times more stronger than an average human the same concept work for all the other attributes but something that didn't exist in your previous world is mana it's determined by the strength of your spirit and your spirituality that's your ability to interact with others with your spirit but it always tends to be low on those summoned from another world .
But what does mana even do and what my passive skills even do ?
Let's finish assessing all the others first so not to waste any more of your precious time .

Sigh those guys stats are off the charts i can tell just by looking at the reaction of the king and those four behind him especially after Sora and Hana revealed their with the latter having a special ability something that won't normally appear in those who were summoned from the start as Reince explained seeing the reaction of the king and His entourage i was still worried about something bad happening but after they assessed their attributes an id card was presented to each one of them having their information and even was editable to some extent if they ever wanted to hide some of their information now it was finally my turn to shine i punctured my finger and let a drop of blood fall on the tablet and the result was :
