The night has come, the sun has gone down and the sky has went dark with only the stars and the moons lighting up the sky (which is still dark) and Somewhere on a field in the Academy, there is this young boy- oh wait that is just Kito, he's still wearing his outfit from his home, a black with white strip hoodie. Brown jeans and black and white shoes.
Kito after his conversation with the Chief of the 29th Guard division of Tristain, has been offered to stay and work as a guard in the academy, not only Chief Marco offered him a job, but a place to stay just nearby outside the Academy, where the 29th Guard Division barrack's located.
"I guess I really am not in japan nor earth anymore…" he said while looking at the sky, it's dark but it's not like what he has ever seen before his entire life, the sky even though it was dark it's very bright with stars and especially what gives him the realization that he's not on earth anymore is the appearances of the two moon "aagrh how am I supposed to find a way back home… my sister is going to kill me…" he said
He's scared, obviously it's nothing that anyone would expect to find himself in a different world entirely, especially when it's a young 17 years old boy. Even though he said he's scared that his sister are going to kill him he's worried that they might have been worried so much, they might think he's missing or worse… dead.
He misses his home already, he doesn't care if he doesn't have internet or monitor or even computer at home right now, he just want to go home. He misses his family, his sister, brother and his Father.
"Kito!" Kito heard a voice calling for him from behind, so he look and saw the guard earlier he met this afternoon, it was Oliver "what are you doing here again?" asked Oliver
"*sigh* just looking at the sky and realized how different this place compared to mine…" said Kito
"Really? I guess you haven't seen everything then, there must be a few things that is similar to your world jap- eeh… whatever it was called" said Oliver right next to Kito looking at the sky as well
"Maybe… what do you need Captain?" asked Kito looking at the guard who's standing right next to him
"It's Brian, Lieutenant Brian Oliver I know some people call me captain but I'm not, they just like to call me Captain cause I look like one, aside from that, Chief ordered me to take you to the barracks, you must be tired from all that's happened" Exclaimed Brian
"Yeah maybe I am tired, I could use some sleep" said Kito
"Listen Kito, I'm sorry for earlier, I shouldn't have scared you that way" said Brian apologizing
"N-no it's fine, it's my fault to freak out like that anyway" said Kito
"Maybe, but who doesn't when they suddenly wakes up in a different world? Come on let's get going already" he said walking away, soon Kito follows from behind
They both walk outside heading towards a gate in the Academy where there are two guards waiting, after they let them pass they went out heading into the barracks nearby from the distance, you could see the smoke from the chimney and lights from the torch in the barracks from the windows.
"Why the barrack is outside the Academy Captain?" asked Kito curiously
"Hmm I don't know why, but it seems like the Academy was built before the barrack so there's no space inside the academy" he explained "And besides, those noblemen isn't going to be happy if we live so close next to them inside the Academy, maybe not all but most of them do" he said
"Noblemen? You mean the students?" Asked Kito
"Magician, those who can use and manipulate magic are Nobles, those that couldn't are us Commoner or… peasants as they would like to call us" explained Brian "Nobility is a pretty high status and because of their high status they treat us commoners like shit, well most of them not all of them, like for example Professor Colbert back then" he said
"That bald guy earlier?" asked Kito
"Yes, that bald guy is Professor Colbert, he's one of the few many professor and Nobles that are kind and respect each other no matter who it is, even me" he said as they're getting closer and closer to their destination until they've finally arrived "Here we are, home" said Brian as they stand in front of the building, it's a 3 story building with walls made out of bricks, and sign made out of cloth in blue say "29th Guard Division barracks" but in French, and a few tents and fire camp around the building with a few watch tower over here and there.
"Well not for me, beside it's… not that big, how many guards are there in this division?" said Kito
"Not exact sure, it used to be around 2000 or even more. but now it's more like a brigade I guess… around 100 or less, some people come and go when they got stationed on a different division, but not me or you or my squad, which put us to the topic that you're going to be in my squad" he said as they both enter the building through the front door.
"Your squad? Then you will be my-"Said Kito midway before Brian cut him off
"Yes I'm in charge and you'll be following my order, but for today your order are to take a rest for tonight, meet a few of your fellow squads and then get your training start tomorrow morning, and don't worry your squad mates speaks Albian or English in your case" Explained Brian "Kitchen's and mess hall on your left and you and your teams room is in the 7th door down this hallway right there, you got it? Good, good night" he said as he left to the second floor, probably got a few paperwork. Leaving Kito dumbfounded in the middle of the hallway
"Great…*sigh* 7th door down this hallway okay…" Said Kito as he step forward, as he arrived in front of the door he hears a few chatters coming from the other side of the door, opening it and saw four person inside the room staring at Kito, cause him to sweat a bit as he wasn't prepared for an awkward moment like this "uuh…Hi?" is all he said and then.
"Well you must be the new guy! Hi there I'm Thomas, a lot of people called me Tom but these guys calls me Tommy for some reason, nice to meet you" said Thomas offering a handshake which Kito accept, Thomas has this brown short clean haircut and stands around 6'1 wearing his white long sleeves shirt and dark brown pants
Then there's this girl who stands up from her bed and said "And I'm Vanessa, this is my sister Stephanie, Steph say hello" she said, she has this long scarlet hair and two dark green eyes
"Hello there" Said Stephanie from her bed, she has this ocean blue medium long hair and light green eyes, she and her sister Vanessa both has green eyes but her sister has darker color. She's around 5'5 and her big sister 5'8, the two are wearing the same shirts and pants, white shirts and black shorts, the only difference is the bigger sister has *ehem* bigger assets.
"And then there's this guy, the silence but deadly man Vasquez, oh he is also our best cook" said Thomas pointing at the fourth guy who's reading a book, he's wearing a black shirt with short sleeves, he also has this dark brown eyes and a medium curly blonde hair. "hey" is all he said, while Kito just smiled and nod at them all.
And when it's time, Kito introduce himself "Nice to meet you all, my name is Minatsu Kito, or just Kito if you would like" then they all smiled including Vasquez who put down his book after Kito told his name.
"Well then Kito, welcome to our squad, hope you enjoy your stay, you can take the empty bed right close to the window right there" Said Thomas, there a four beds, all bunk beds, so basically there are 8 spaces for people to sleep in this room.
Kito having no belongings with him just crash into his bed right away, Thomas smiling as he head to his bed while saying "It's not much, but it should be enough to sleep on, better than sleeping on top of a haystack right?"
*Meanwhile*
Another young guy in blue jacket is sleeping on the floor on top of a pile of haystack
"Hachooo!... uggh so cold" and he just sneezed.
*back to the barracks*
After all of the introductions from Kito's now squadmates, they all went to bed, one particular girl is a heavy snorer and she's sleeping right above Stephanie her little sister. It's huge difference between her and her sister. Vanessa is the carefree girl type who would stands up to anyone especially when it's involving her sister, doesn't act like a girl most of the timel, and love drinking or teasing their Lieutenant aka Brian the Captain and meanwhile her sister is the shy, little, kind girl type, she doesn't really like fighting, and she likes helping people because of her skill and knowledge on medical and herbs.
And then on the other side we have the two duo, Thomas and Vasquez, one is the all confident/happy/friendly type of guy and the other just doesn't really care… at all… well unless it comes to food or cooking, but he's a good guy nonetheless, doesn't talk much but would be happy to help when in needed and happy to beat a person when he needs it.
And then there's our guy, Minatsu Kito, he's not that shy, at least not always but since everything is still new to him he's trying to adjust to everything. He just got into this world and the next thing he knows is he's in a military division… sort off, it's just guard division or a brigade who were stationed to guard the Academy. It's all happening fast but not as fast as Kito's consciousness died out as he went to the land of dream after closing his eyes.
"…please save our people…"
The next Morning
The sun Rise again in the horizon, sky's getting brighter, the birds chirping, and the commander Shouts Right next to Kito's ear "WAKE UP!"
"WHOAA… WHAT THE HELL IS THAT FOR?!" Asked Kito after he fell off from his bed looking at his commander who's laughing.
"Hahaha, You seems to be having a nice sleep, too bad I have to end it for you because it's morning already and breakfast ready downstairs, get yourself up a get ready to go to the Academy, you don't want to miss your first day at work right?" Said Brian jokingly, Kito's still trying to get his brain working doesn't seems too amused.
As Brian left, Kito realized this is not his bed, this is not his apartment and this is not his world "That's right… I'm not in japan anymore…" he said, rubbing his eyes and faces still with bed hair he head downstairs.
Down in the mess hall, he see a few guards that don't really know yet, and 5 familiar faces that he just met yesterday "Hey Kito over here" said one particular Friendly guy, that's right it's Thomas or Tommy. "Dear god Kito your hair is mess and your face looks like… I don't what it looks like but it's a mess nonetheless!" He added, the other two girls laugh a little and Vasquez just doesn't care
"Wash your face in the Kitchen, maybe there's a water but don't use the clean water, that's for drinking and cooking, use the one in the wooden bucket over there" Said Vasquez, Kito's nod and left to wash his face.
The other continued with their meal, a little bit of a chat here and there then Kito's back with a plate of food on his hand as he seat right next Brian, still sleepy but better than earlier.
"Hmph…hmm? Wow its good, who made these?" Asked Kito as his soul suddenly return to his body after he took a bite out of his meal
"Haha who else? This guy obviously I told you before!" Said Thomas as he fist bumping Vasquez right next to him who were seems to be enjoying his meal
"Yeah sure… thanks" Return Vasquez with a smile that live out short before he return to his meal, after that hey all finished their meal, then prepared to go to the academy for their shift.
"Hey Kito" Called Brian as Kito just finished his meal and Brian standing by the door "Get yourself ready, here's your sword, it's nothing much, just something we have in the armory, you should get yourself some armor but we need to go the town for that, for now just use what you have and… this a our guard so people know you're a guard in the Academy, not some random weirdo wandering around" he finished and left the mess hall.
Kito stands up and look at the sword and robe that was given by Brian 'whoa neat! The sword isn't much but better than nothing besides I've never wield a sword before!' Thought Kito with a grin, it's a white robe with the Guard logo on the back, the sword is just a medium Iron sword with sheathe and rope to strap it onto his back.
Kito exit the building with the morning sun shining bright down his faces, the wind buzzing around the grassland as he look around at such beauty, growing up in the city he has never such beauty before until now.
"Good morning Captain!" Said some guards at Brian as he just nodded and waved. Then another and another, even some villagers and traders who come across said hello, even at Kito himself as he just nod and wave as well. Kito never felt this warmth his entire, life he felt… welcomed, almost like at home but he know this is not his home, this is not his place.
"Captain good morning, how's your sleep?" Said a certain female, blonde hair, pretty tall around 6'0 in Guard uniform.
"Lieutenant, morning to you too and I'm not a captain, how many times do I have to tell you that we have the same rank Roselle?" Responded Brian jokingly but in French which Kito doesn't understand
"Aww come on Brian, I know but it fits you" she said "hmm? Who's' the new guy?" she asked pointing at Kito which caught him off guard.
"Oh Kito come here, Roselle this is Kito, he's in my squad from now, and he only speaks Albians by the way" said Brian
"Nice to meet you" said Kito as he's seen bowing at her, it raised the two lieutenant eyebrows.
"I'm Roselle, Lieutenant Roselle, good luck on your first day and don't let Brian scare you, he's not really that scary, See yaa~!" she said in french accent and left
"I-I'm not scary what- argh that bitch… anyway let's get going the others already ahead we should go to, come on" said Brian as he start going followed by Kito from behind.
As they arrived they could see the Academy, this time Kito realizing how huge this academy and the unusual architecture, he could also see a few people from guards, maids, students and some Teacher.
"Are there any classes today?" Said some students walking pass the two guards "hahaha did you forgot this is our day off? We're second year already" they said as they pass and the rest is unheard.
After that the two start going around the Academy, Brian telling each area and explain as best as he can, telling Kito what to do and what not to do. After their done Brian left as he needs to report to Commander Marco or in short Chief. Leaving Kito to wander alone.
'Alright Brian told me there's change of plans as today I need to get used to the academy environment first and then Training later this day, where should I go now?' He thought while walking down the hallway.
Nothing too unusual about the whole Academy, asides from the magic and how old everything seems compared to Kito's home world which is earth, students walking around, maids doing their job and guard… well guarding obviously 'Whoa what the hell is that!?' Oh yea there's an eyeball creature, and a red lizard breathing fire from its mouth walking besides students who seems to be their master.
Kito looking shocked and scared got a few attentions and laughter from the students, seeing creatures he has never seen before spook him as he start walking faster until he end up on a field, there he saw a lot more students, having some sort of picnic with maids around them and their creature besides them.
'W-what the hell…' Kito confused by what he's seeing shook his head and try to calm down "Different world... it's a different world Kito different-" Kito trying to calm himself by speaking to his heart when suddenly a girl voice was heard "What's different?" and it spook him out again
He looks at the source of the voice to see a girl in maid uniform and a dark straight hair down to her shoulder "Aah I'm sorry to scare you I didn't mean to" she apologized
"Nonono its fine I'm sorry I was just… not focused, you speak eng- umm… Albians" he said "Y-you must be one of the maids working here right?" asked Kito
"Yes I do, my name is Siesta and you are?" she asked
"Oh I'm Minatsu Kito, call me Kito, I'm a new guard here" he said with a huge grin
"Minatsu Kito? Strange you have a strange name just like familiar" she said, it caught Kito's interest
"Familiar?" he asked curiously
"Yes all second year student in this Academy have their own familiar, but her familiar is different, unlike the other she summoned a Human yesterday named Hiraga Saito, I met him before" she said, it surprised Kito
"Where is he?" he asked, he wants to know who this Saito person was
"He's right over there, you see him? He's bringing a cake to one of the students" she said pointing toward a young boy with dark hair and blue jacket 'That's him!' thought Kito
"Thanks Siesta!" he said as he hurried to meet this Saito person, leaving the Maid dumbfounded with no clue.
'Saito Hiraga! I knew it he's from Japan I've got to meet him' Kito in his mind thought as he run towards Saito. But before he could meet him, there's a commotion between Saito and a blonde students and it stop Kito on his track.
"What's going on?" wondered Kito as everyone starts to circle on the field around those two people
"Oh no… I think Sir Gramont is asking for a duel…" Said Siesta who followed Kito.
"A duel? Like a fight?" Said Kito
"Yes a fight, Duels in the Academy is forbidden but it says only for between Nobles, I don't know about a duel between a commoner and a Noble" she explained "Y-you should stop this !"
"M-me? I-I don't know about that… besides I don't speak umm… what's the language here in Tristain?" he asked while being embarrassed
"It's Gallish… how come you don't speak Gallish?" she asked
"Ehh… I come from a very far place" he said lying, well not really lying because he do come from a very far place. Then a certain pink haired student showed up after blondie boy left and start yelling at Saito while dragging him out of the field. "Eeh… Siesta can you do me a favor?" said Kito shyly
"Y-yes?" she answered
"I need your help to translate what they're saying back then, I don't get it all what they're saying, that's why I have no idea" he asked
"Ooh I see, Of course" she said then start explaining about what happen between Saito and Guiche, from the moment Saito offered his help to bring the cake to the conversation between the two.
Kito finally understood what is this all about was surprised, just because Saito was embarrassing Guiche in front of other students he gets mad and wanted to give a lesson to this peasants for not respecting Nobility in the Vestori Square. "What a loser, and seriously making two girl cries? He's the one who looks like the type to cheat on girls! Maybe he did, I don't know I'm not here to judge…" said Kito madly.
"Should we stop them?" asked Siesta
"Urrgh… this is my first day and we've got this… *sigh* I don't know maybe I should ask Brian… but where is he? By the moment I found him those two would be beating each other already…there's no time… ahh screw this Siesta you're coming let's go!" he said "Where's the Vestori Square?" he asked
"Right here follow me" she said leading the way and Kito following from behind.
Meanwhile in Professor Osmond Office
"U-unbelievable… You're saying this rune is the same rune on that boy hand? Asked a certain old wizard, Professor Osmond with his appearance resembling Gandalf.
"Yes professor…" along with Professor Colbert who's showing his report about the incident regarding the event yesterday about Saito's appearance, and Miss Loungueville who's standing next to him.
"Miss Longueville I'm sorry…" said Osmond
"I understood" and she left the fray but not without catching a glimpse of the rune inside the book, as she's heading into the door there's a knock. Once she opened the door, there stands an aged figure in guard uniform, Commander Marco.
"Excuse me Principal…" he said while walking in, stopping Miss Loungeville on her track.
"I'm sorry commander but we're having-" said Osmond before he was cutted in by the Chief
"I understand Principal but I'm sure this is no less important than what you have" he explained, Chief felt glare behind him look to his back to see Miss loungeville was staring at him for a second and then left for the door and closing it. 'What is that woman doing here…' he thought.
"If you say so Commander, what is it that you want to say?" Said Osmond while rubbing his beard.
"Yesterday, I've already heard about Miss Valliere summoning a commoner as her familiar, but something similar yet strange also happening on that day…again" he said, giving the two professor their attention to the man "on the other field on the same day, there appears to be a boy from a different world who suddenly appeared." And the two professor remaining silence but shocked inside.
"How many has this happened since last time?" asked Osmond
"It's the fifth time for the last 5 years sir" said Chief "but there is something different with this one, he doesn't seems to know how he ended up here, his memories before he's on that field was blurry but he said he saw this, certain blonde woman" said Marco, instead of giving an answer it just raise question for the three gentlemen
"Any idea who this woman are? And where is this boy?" asked Colbert curiously as he fixes his glasses position.
"No unfortunately, he doesn't know that woman or met her before… or what her purpose on bringing him here" said Marco "And I've put him in one of my squad, he's still around and safe"
"It's… surprisingly odd… that familiar also showed up an unusual rune on his hand. Ah professor Osmond is it safe to-" said Colbert
"Yes Professor, I trust him very well you may proceed" responded Osmond
"Very well, the rune on his hand is… the rune of the legendary Gandalfr and it has never shown in any familiar like ever, at least for as long as I live, and adding with the appearance of another mysterious boy… what is happening? Could this lead to something?" asked Colbert
Marco staying silent as he look at the principal who has risen from his seat and looking at the window behind him "I wish nothing would happen Professor, Commander. But if there's something going out out there… we will know in time, for now let's hope for the best and may brimir protect us all" he finished
'Sasha…. What is the meaning of this…?' thought Marco
"…It's our only hope…"
