Chapter 37:
A jokers world
Blistering through the sky, the dragon was heading to Hikaru's house. No other place came to Hikarus' mind as saw all that.
As they reached near the coast at the back of their house Hikaru ordered the dragon to slow down and land near the back yard.
After getting off the dragons Hikaru rushed into the house. Others were standing beside the dragon outside.He checked every room and called out everyone's name but no one was there.
He ran back to viola and others.
"No one is at home…” Hikaru started thinking about the possible place they could be at.Lets head to the academy. You all will be safe there if something happens.”
As they flew over the houses and shops they heard all the noises because of the great turmoil. The dragon they were on also played a role to raise their confusion as they saw shadow of her on the ground.
*****
A few hours ago before Hikaru came back, Yuki and others were in the living room. Someone knocks on the door. When sana opens the door she sees the lady who works at the academy holding a letter in her hand and trying to knock again. Sana remembered her because she usually chats with her and she was also the one who whispered in Hikaru's ears to take him to Takenji on the test day.
“Yes Yoshino?”
“Mr. Takenji called all of you to come to the academy urgently and take your sowrd and wands with you.”
“What happened?”
“ I also don't know.I have to go and deliver this message so that it can reach Nerk kingdom so I have to go now.”
“...Okay” said Sana in confusion.
She closed the door and went back to the living room while pondering over the matter.
“Who was at the door?” Aki asked.
“Ah!...Yoshida was. She said Takenji sir have called us to academy…urgently”
“What's the matter?” Yuki asked.
“Is Hikaru back?” Aki guessed.
“Really!!??”
“N ... .No…..or maybe yes, I also don't know what's the matter.Let's go and find out.”
When they reached the academy they saw that other teachers were also there with some students. Tension was seen in their movements and words. They went to Takenji's office to ask what was going on. Letters were scattered on the desk, Takenji was restlessly walking back and forth in the room. Mahiru and Hana were also sitting in the room.They weren't told anything until now.
“Sir?” Aki grabbed his attention.
“Ah!”
“What happened? Ah! Mahiru you are also here. “
“Yes, sir called me too.”
“You four and all the other teachers have to go to the mixed race continent.”
“Huh? Why? Vacation is going on right?”
“I know but a request came from Mesti Kingdom that there is a sudden attack there from the dungeon creatures."
The Megti kingdom was located at the northern part of the MIxed race continent. A sudden attack in the outskirts village by the dungeon monsters, wild monster and some peoples killed many there but none of them attacked small children and kids up to age to 15 or 16, as soon as the capital of Megti kingdom was informed about it they sent all the soldiers and guards there, The adventure guild was also ordered to put a notice regarding it to get some help from them.
But after half an hour the reports of attacks in other kingdoms also came out. The headquarters of the adventure guild started sending requests to all the other adventure guilds to send adventurers as help. The main headquarters is located in the Holy continent.
A request was also sent here at the academy to send some help if possible. Takenji gathered all the teachers who were still at the island and asked them if they could go and help there.
Some agreed some didn't. When Takenji told the whole story to Yuki and others they agreed to help them.
“But why are the dungeon monsters out in the open? In such a large number, on top of that they are cooperating with some people . They don't come out of the dungeon generally, right?” Mahiru asked.
“No information is found about that” Takenji collected the scattered letters and continued,
“I have sent back a letter through miss yoshino that we are sending help.”
“Are we going there by ships?It will take hours to reach,” Sana asked.
“No, we are going by the ground route. I have arranged everything.”
“Where is Luke?” asked Yuki.
Takenji pressed both of his eyebrows with finger and thumb and said “We have no clue where he went. Not even a letter was sent by him nor has anyone seen him.”
‘ May he is behind all this.but we never saw him do anything suspicious outside of work or even at his office.’ thought Sana, Aki and Yuki.
“Where was th–”
An earthquake came. All the people in the academy ran out towards the garden in the academy. As it settled down they saw the pillar coming out of the ocean.
A confused and tumultuous crowd raised questions whose answer no one knew there.
“What's happening!!???”
“Takenji sir, what are those?"
“Is that called by you sir??”
“It's not something to be scared of is it?”
The pillars headed towards the island and attached its base. Shaking the ground once more.
‘Sir, do you know anything about what's happening? ‘
“NO and its not my doing”
Nothing happened after that. The teachers in the garden started formulating their own theories and assumptions, a normal behaviour of trying to know what's unknown without even any context purged everyone's normal composure and calmness.
Slicing through the air a portal opened at the top of the academy grabbing everyone's attention a creature came out. YASI a bi pedal dungeon monster, purple in colour and smooth fur around its neck, is able to travel through dungeon floors. They are found on the lower floors of the dungeon.
“What is he doing here?”
The yasi raised both of his hands, opening 3 more portals in the garden a little far from the crowd and one behind him.
In seconds a dungeon monster started coming out of them.
"Everyone, pick up your staff and swords!!" Takenji shouted.
