Louise POV

Time passed…

That was all she could tell from her cell, without a view of outside she couldn't tell how long they were actually kidnapped. The lighting within the cells seems to be dimmed, and the people around her seemed to have calmed down, for a moment only the sound of Chiyuri's snoring was heard. Louise looked around and saw that some people were grouping together in their cell and is trying to come up with ideas to escape, while others simply sat down in their cells waiting for someone to tell them what's to happen next.

"Hey is she deep asleep?" Kirche asked.

"Even if she is we can't get out of these cells, we don't have our wands and there isn't anything in this cell that can help us break or bend the steel bars." Louise said with a slight annoyance. She couldn't help but feel anxious; she wondered whether her families know about her kidnapping, how is her friend Henrietta, whether she can see her older sister Cattleya again. Once Louise began thinking about her family, she felt she desperately want to go home, she hoped that her disappearance wouldn't cause her sister's health to deteriorate.

Suddenly a loud sound of someone speaking came from the speaker next to Chiyuri's chair.

"Chiyuri, CHIYURI WAKE UP!"

"I'M AWAKE. What is it Yumemi." Chiyuri suddenly woke up and picked up the speaker next to her.

"We're back, now can you lead the test subjects to the main briefing room." Yumemi's voice was broadcasted all around the cells, and then the notice was over.

"Well you hear the professor, let's go." Chiyuri pressed a button from the control panel on her chair, and instantly all the cell doors opened.

"Why should we listen to you! Everyone let's go she is only one girl let's beat her and get out of here! WE HAVE NUMBER ON OUR SI-" One of the strong male servants in his 30s said, but before he could finish his sentence he was knocked unconscious by a beam of light.

"I recommend you don't think of any young girl, I have perfect confidence that even if you all charge at me I can beat all of you. That was a warning shot, if you don't do what I say I'll remove a large chunk of your torso. Don't worry we have a great doctor, so you won't die." Chiyuri said while holding a small device in her hand that she used to shot that beam of light. (Author: It's a laser gun from touhou pvd5. Chiyuri nicknamed it problem-solver-kun, because it solves problem really fast. Also it have a smiley face painted on the barrel.)

Silence came once again and everyone followed Chiyuri through the strange corridor of the vessel out of fear. The corridor was 15 meters wide, 30 meters tall and had a lot of passages that seemed to lead to other areas, but no one dared to try to make a run for it. Soon they arrived in front of a large door, but without anyone pushing or pulling it opened by itself.

Louise and majority of the students were shaking with uncertainty to their situation, while some of the staff especially Professor Colbert is looking around with a sense of marvel at the strange place. As they entered the strange room, a large screen and desk at the front of the room. Yumemi was sitting in front behind the desk right under the screen.

"Welcome, I know you all have a lot of question on why you are captured, who we are and a lot of other things. So I shall do my best to answer your questions." Yumemi said with a smile on her face.

"Just as you said Miss -"Osmond said.

"Yumemi."

"Miss Yumemi, why did you kidnap us with this strange vessel, what is your purpose?" Osmond asked.

"I'm like researching about magic, and your magic interested me, so I brought you guys here to have you help in my research. I assure you that as long as you cooperate with our experiment, we will do you no harm and provide food and places to live." Yumemi answered truthfully.

"What if we refuse!" Colbert said with a determined tone.

"Then you are allowed to leave, we will give back all your stuff, your familiar, and provide you with 1 day supply of food and water, we will also provide you with a slice of cake as well as the exit." Yumemi answered. Her answer instantly gave everyone hope of escaping, and they were also surprised that she would let them go this easily.

"So, would anyone volunteer to leave?" Yumemi asked with a smile, yet the smile she has gave Louise a bad feeling. Surprisingly only 6 first year student and 2 second year students volunteered while the others remained in their place, no one who Louise knows have volunteered not even the servants.

"Why didn't you volunteer, Zerbst" Louise whispered to Kirche after seeing only a few people volunteering.

"I don't know, but somehow I got a bad feeling, and Tabitha and the teachers don't seem to trust her as well." Kirche replied.

"Well I'm surprised only so few of you volunteered. Oh well, Chiyuri bring the bags." Yumemi said to Chiyuri and proceed to take out a controller from her pockets and pressed a button on it.

A door opened on the side of the room revealing the outside world, which is nighttime, and everyone saw what was outside, a forest. Chiyuri quickly handed 8 bags to the students as well as well gave back their familiar and their wand. The students quickly rushed out of the exit to taste their freedom.

Just when Louise wondered whether she and everyone else made the wrong choice, Yumemi quickly closed the exit as soon as the last student is out and pressed another button on her controller. The large screen behind her suddenly lit up and on it showed the 8 students that ran out.

"What the-" The people who remained inside was at a lost of word.

"Let's see how well they do on their attempt." Yumemi said with a hint of enthusiasm.

Bertolt POV

Bertolt was the son of a small time noble in Tristain, his family wasn't well know but through a lot of practice he had become a line wind wizard in the academy. But misfortune struck as he and everyone were kidnapped by this weird vessel, but gods didn't forsake him as the owner of the vessel was willing to let him GO. He even got supplies so he didn't need to worry about starving.

Though he is a bit puzzled why everyone else didn't escape as well, he is also a bit glad. He and everyone else decided to go their separate ways this way they have the highest chance of finding a village. If he reaches the nearest village first and have them contact the Tristain Royal family, he could save everyone and become a hero.

This thought gave him a good mood, and soon he spotted a light in the forest. That's a campfire, someone is there. He quickly ran towards the campfire and soon he saw two girls sitting around it.

"Hey do you guys know where the nearest village is?"He asked the two girls, and the two girls turned their attention to him.

"Whoa, a human running here at night! Doesn't seem to be someone from the village?"

"Hey do you know the spellcard rule?" The second girl asked him.

"Spellcard rule what's that? More importantly do you know where the nearest village is?"Bertolt asked the girls again.

"Well, he's an outsider. I get the soft meat."

"I get his brain."

What! Before Bertolt could react to what the girls were saying they jumped at him and attacked him. Bertolt didn't know what happened but he made a run for it and took out his wand and send a wind blast at the crazy girls. But the girls released a blast of energy from their palm and effortlessly destroyed his wind blast. After seeing that, Bertolt ran with all his strength, he even abandoned the bag of supplies and his familiar. He didn't know what will happen to him if those girls catch him, but he didn't want to find out. Soon he reached the vessel, but the door he came out of was closed.

"LET ME IN! LET ME IN!"He screamed while he pounded the side of the vessel, but no entrance appeared at all.

He turned around but he couldn't see the girls anymore, just when he let out a breath of relief, he looked up and saw the girls flying toward him.

Before he could scream, Bertolt's world was consumed with pain.

Louise POV

Louise looked with horror on the screen, all 8 students were died. One was dragged into a ball of darkness and eaten, another was eaten by strange wolves, and the student that was pounding on the door was eaten by two girls with wings. Around her some students were vomiting because of the disgusting scene on the screen, and she wanted to puke as well but she didn't have anything in her stomach.

"Well, that was fast 10 minutes and they are all died." Yumemi said casually while remarking the scene on the screen, Louise couldn't believe she was treating a scene like this so casually.

"They did make the mistake of separating up, and it was a bad idea to go out at night." Chiyuri remarked to Yumemi's comment.

"True, but I was expecting them to last longer."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU OPEN THE DOOR FOR HIM!" Professor Colbert shouted at her in anger.

"I told him that if he wished to leave it is his decision, I should not be held responsible for a foolish decision made by others. Besides, it's their fault for not having any common sense; didn't they know that running into a creepy forest at night is a terrible idea?" Yumemi calmly remarked.

"That's that then, Chiyuri bring them to their sleeping quarter if you guys still want to leave I can open the door again tomorrow morning. That is if anyone would still like to try." After saying that she dismissed everyone with a wave of her hand. Some people were filled with anger towards her, while others such as Louise were filled with fear.

The images of the dying classmates were still in her head, she didn't realize that they were led to a new dead end corridor filled with doors on both side.

"This is your sleeping quarter. You guys can sort out the rooms, good night." Chiyuri said and then left the corridor and then a door closed and sealed off the corridor.

The academy staff sorted the students and servants in to their rooms, and Louise was once again sorted with Kirche, Tabitha, Guiche and Montmorency.

"That was… unpleasant."Kirche said while they were sitting on their bed.

"Bloody."Tabitha agreed with her.

Montmorency remained silent while Guiche held her hand tightly.

"I want to go home." Louise tried her hardest not to cry, and for a while everyone just sat there wondering what awaits them behind this unknown road before going to sleep, trying to not have nightmares of that forest.

Henrietta POV (Before above event, a while back)

"Who are YOU!" Karin the heavy wind asked the intruder while pointing her wand at the intruder. The family of most of the Tristain students had showed up and listened to the witness along with Henrietta, yet no one noticed the appearance of the intruder, until the intruder spoke herself.

"Identify yourself." Henrietta said towards the intruder.

"How rude, before you ask someone else their name isn't it courtesy to introduce yourself. You can just call me Otohime." The blonde hair intruder introduced herself.

"Are you the one behind the kidnapping?!" General Gramont asked furiously while also taking out his wand.

"I do know what happened, but I'm not gonna tell; that would ruin all the fun. But I will say a prophecy right here and now." Otohime said.

"Prophecy?" Henrietta looked at the strange intruder with a questioning look, she did not like where this is going.

"This is merely a small part of a great event that will change your world, or maybe just blow a big hole on it, well I'm sure it's one of the two. Then again it could also cause it to rain cheese, wait never mind, probably not going to rain cheese."

Henrietta looked at the intruder with a confused look, a great change and blow a big hole, none of it makes any sense. Is this girl crazy?

"While you'll know what I'm talking about eventually, until then bye."

"Wait! Did you think we will just let you leave here easily? Tell us everything you know!" Karin said forcefully towards Otohime. But Otohime didn't even bother looking at her, then just as she suddenly appeared, she suddenly vanished.

"Where did she go?"

"Find her!" Henrietta said, she was certain about one thing, that girl knows where her friend Louise and everyone else are, she must find her.

"Get everyone one to look for that strange girl, put up wanted poster, and do whatever you can to find her."After giving that command to the other nobles, Henrietta went back toward her room. She couldn't shake off the feeling that a storm is coming.

Louise POV

"Breakfast time!"

Louise woked up, she looked around and saw that like her Kirche and the others were waking up as well due to the loud announcement. She and the others walked out of their room and saw that everyone else had gotten came out of their room as well.

Chiyuri was holding a microphone in her hand and after seeing that everyone gotten up and came out of their room she said, "Follow me."

She led them in to a large dining room, with trays of food placed on the table; everyone was hungry after what happened yesterday, so they sat down and began to eat.

Chiyuri then left the room, as soon as she was gone. Headmaster Osmond stood up and said to everyone, "Can I have your attention for a moment."

"We, the staff, had made an important decision yesterday night; we are going to make another attempt to go find help, but this time we're leaving some of the staff and students at here to wait for us. I repeat only those who are certain they are ready, and are willing to risk their life should come everyone else will stay here and wait for help."

"But, Headmaster Osmond it's highly dangerous!" A female student said.

"Yes, but we can't wait for help to arrive, with a team of strong mages we have better chance of getting through the forest. Those who are ready come after we finish eating."Osmond replied.

After hearing this Louise began gobbling down her food. She would join this group and escape from here, she promised to herself deep within her heart.

Author's note: To my readers, well the plot further spirals outward. For those curious the robots that Yumemi have came from the pixiv pictures and danbooru pictures of touhou. Also since fanon didn't have a lot on Yumemi's personality and technologies, I based it all on the fanon touhou game, tragedy of gensokyo princess of phoenix. Also, yes youkai do eat human, but only outsiders and people too stupid to live, the forest shown however is not the forest of magic (it would make escaping from Yumemi's ship impossible). Now once again for possible future spoilers a certain teacher, a certain village, and the truth to where they are. Please leave your thoughts on this story.
