"Now that you all are here, we need to depart immediately," Catmod said.
"Wait, wait! So soon? Can't we just have a little bit of time to prepare like a change of clothes or something like that?" Erina interjected.
"I agree with Erina. We can't just keep on wearing our uniforms for a month without changing. Sure that the anime characters don't change clothes but we are not one and that would be stinky," Moonlight seconded.
"No worries. Clothing is one of the items that the place we are going into has plenty. You don't need to worry about the no clothes since there are varieties in there. You just needed to change," Catmod explained.
"Eh? Already?" Erina looked at Catmod with an uncertain look on her face.
"Of course. With the harsh training, clothes are one of the priorities for the people on the training grounds so you don't need to worry about it. Anyways, I already got the approval of your parents and the teachers so you all need to come with me."
I glance at Godou before I asked Catmod. "Even Godou and Akari-san are undergoing the training?"
"They are not an exception. They are not yet that strong in terms of magic combat. Although both of them have explosive powers, they can't control it that much that is why I am going to bring them along."
"Umm, I have not learned any magic yet. Is it okay for me to undergo training without any magic skills?" Erina asked.
"You will find out later, girl. You don't need to worry too much about it. So, are you guys ready? We won't be coming back here until the time allocated for the training is done though."
"Can I say goodbye to my mother at least?" Irina asked.
"Your mother is going to be the medic in the training so she would be there. I don't think saying goodbyes is necessary. We can go immediately, is there anyone complaining?"
No one answered because I don't think I will have to say goodbye to any relatives at all.
"Since no one is objecting, I will teleport you all there immediately," Catmod said and swiped the air.
"CAN'T I EAT LUNCH FIRST?!"
However, everything is too late already. As soon as he did that, several Magic Circles appeared all around us and started spinning around. A huge magic circle also appeared beneath our feet and before I can even find a comfortable position, the teleportation process started and it caused me severe dizziness that before we arrive at our destination, I passed out.
...
When I opened my eyes, it was like the whole surroundings are still spinning and I almost feel like I am about to puke. I don't think I can hold on to the feeling of hotness in my throat while my vision is still spinning.
I was about to stand up and puke when I felt a warm and comfortable feeling cover my entire body before the hotness that I feel in my throat disappeared.
"Huh?" I rose up from laying on a bed and realized that I am in a room I am not familiar with. What is more, what the heck is this bed? Why is it covered in Gold and silver engravings?! This is too extravagant even for me!
The room too is very grand and classy. No, it was more like it is designed for nobility. This is not a room I SHOULD be sleeping with! I deserve to sleep on the floor! (Even if the floor is also glittering with gold color which I doubt was made of gold. Maybe it was just the color.)
I didn't get to shout or complain because there is someone else in the room, I presume to be the person who helped me recover on my dizziness. Then I just realized that it was Otome.
"Looks like you are fine now. Is there any kind of pain you are feeling right now? I can cast my healing spell once more to thoroughly remove the symptoms."
"No, I don't think I feel anything. I feel fine right now." I said as I rub my stomach a bit.
"I see. Then you would be fine now to join the others to the training grounds?" Otome stood up and pick up her shoulder bag that is sitting on the chair next to her seat.
"Wait. Where are we anyway?"
"You have arrived here in the training grounds. This place is the Phantasmal Reality Dimension. A place where time flows differently than in the normal world. If you want to learn more, go read in the info logs in the chat group. Everyone who does not know this place will learn more in the chat group. I am a little busy so I will go first alright? The layout of the map is on top of the table next to the bed so you won't get lost. Anyways, I will be going now!"
I didn't get to say anything as Otome disappeared from where she was standing which is perhaps an ability of teleportation. I put my hand in my pocket and the phone is still there.
"Yo, Blue. Are you there?"
"What do you want now, Kazuma?"
"Can you explain properly where I am?"
"Okay... wait, you should go out first and find your way to the training grounds. Its been a few hours since we arrived here and I don't think that cat will wait for your late ass to find your way to the training. You might miss the opportunity to train in magic. I will explain along the way."
I nodded and glance to the table beside the bed and unlike what Otome said, there was a small sphere that I don't have any idea what is the use for. There is no map that she mentioned sitting here. Or perhaps this is the one?
There is a small button on the center of it and when I pushed it, a hologram map appeared being projected above the sphere.
Then I just realized, that the map covers an entire globe, not just an island. More like the continents on Earth have shrunk and almost clumped together, forming the whole world. In short, it was an alternate Earth.
