Chapter 1597: Chapter 1071: Situation in the Other Boundary

According to the old Pope, the place they are in now is situated on the Divine Mountain, and at the foot of it lies a kingdom, which is currently the strongest resistance force of humans. The old Pope originally intended to invite them to that kingdom, where they would be welcomed.

But before that, Duanmu Huai found a room and gathered everyone there.

"Alright, I know you’re anxious, and so am I, but the situation is a complete mess right now!"

Duanmu Huai paced back and forth in front of the students, looking furious.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

"........."

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, the students looked uneasy, and after a moment, Huang’zen Kumiko raised her hand.

"Teacher, are we never going back?"

"What a joke, we will definitely find a way back."

"Then... who exactly are you, Teacher?"

As she spoke, Huang’zen Kumiko glanced at the others. Before, when they were transported to this world, everyone discovered a completely unknown side to their classmates whom they shared every day with...

"Alright, no point in hiding it anymore at this point, I’ll just say it bluntly."

Duanmu Huai had no intention of keeping secrets, so he quickly introduced the situation regarding the Tribunal and the three factions, and after hearing Duanmu Huai’s explanation, the students were shocked.

"The Tribunal is an organization that protects humans? Teacher Duanmu and Classmate Mary are members of it?"

"Classmate Ilina is actually an angel?"

"Classmate Tacheng, Classmate Naruse, and Classmate Banriya are demons? That’s so cool!"

Surprisingly, after hearing Duanmu Huai’s explanation, the students became excited instead—oh, speaking of which, they are at that middle school age.

No one doubted that Duanmu Huai was lying, although his words seemed unbelievable, during their battle against the Temple guards earlier, the girls had indeed shown extraordinary and unimaginable combat power, and these kids, being modern people, had been much influenced by novels and animations, so they quickly accepted this fact.

Some girls who were originally close to Murasakifuji Ilina even ran over to her, curiously reaching out to touch her wings.

And the boys were very excited this time.

"Teacher, the old man said we’re heroes, does that mean we also possess great strength?"

"Heh, what little brats."

Hearing the excited discussion among the boys, Duanmu Huai snorted and then knocked on the table.

"Quiet! Each and every one of you, dumber than a box of rocks, haven’t you realized?"

"What?"

Duanmu Huai was quite intimidating, and upon hearing his roar, the other students immediately sat down and shut up, looking at each other in confusion, unsure of what they’d said wrong again.

"Do you remember why that old guy summoned us? What did he say?"

"........."

Facing Duanmu Huai’s question, everyone was momentarily silent, then Duanmu Huai pointed at a boy at random.

"You answer!"

"Yes, Teacher! He said that the humans of this world are threatened by demons, on the verge of extinction, so they’re asking for our help to eliminate the demons and protect humankind!"

Saying this, the boy looked quite excited, as if he had read a lot of similar light novels and watched similar animations.

And hearing the answer, Duanmu Huai sneered.

"Heh, what, does that excite you?"

"Uh... not really, but it’s just so amazing, isn’t it?"

Hearing the boy’s response, the other boys also nodded, which was quite normal. Protecting humanity, fighting the Demon King, saving the world—what man hasn’t fantasized about that?

"Yeah, someone asks you to go off and die, and you’re this excited. If this were an exam, you’d be out of the running."

His expression turned serious at this point, startling the others.

"To-to die?"

"No kidding, you just said it yourself, that old guy summoned us to fight the demons, which means war, which means you’re going to the battlefield to fight, do you think you can easily survive on the battlefield?! Games even have GAME OVER, you don’t think you can clear it in one life, do you?!"

"........."

Hearing this, the boys who were excited just a moment ago suddenly felt like cold water was poured over their heads, quickly sobering up.

Perhaps they played too many games and forgot this wasn’t a game but reality. They weren’t controlling characters in a game, they had to go to battle in person!

And hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, the other students were also frightened.

"But, but that old man seemed kind, very gentle."

"That’s nonsense, they’re begging you to go die, of course, they have to be nice about it. Do you think they’d come right up and say, ’for us, go die’—would you help people like that? I can tell you, from now on, the people of this world will definitely bow and scrape to you, be very respectful, and treat you very well. But it comes with conditions! Because in their eyes, you are the heroes who will fight enemies to protect them! That’s why they hold you in high regard! You need to have some self-awareness, in my country, we say if someone is overly nice to you for no reason, they’re either a traitor or a thief—remember this when you enter society. If someone you’re not familiar with is extraordinarily nice to you for no reason, they’re definitely after something from you!"
