"So before the anti-matter reached your body, a god summoned you to their realm and gave you a chance to live a whole new life?"

"I wouldn't really call it a chance. According to the a certain person, out of billions of people on Earth, I was chosen to be the 142th Otherworlder because of a contract between two Gods. I have no idea what the contents of the contract are, and I'm not really that curious about it."

Tanya and Kagami, who are running beside me listened to my story as we run through the forest. Our speed already broke the sound barrier, at this rate, we will reach the Capital in 20 minutes.

"The contract aside, what's wrong with kagami? I've been hearing him mutter the words 'It's a real isekai' for a while now." The person to my left has been muttering the words nonstop ever since we left the base camp, like an AI programmed to speak those words repeatedly.

"Oh that? please ignore him, it's just his otaku instincts at work, he'll calm down after a while." Tanya stared at kagami as if what she's looking at is a poor soul.

"Well, that's part of who he is. As long as the person's happy and he's not affecting those around him negativel-"

"FIREBALL!"

My words suddenly got cut off and we came to a stop when we heard Kagami shout.

"Hmm? why didn't it work?" The person who just shouted is looking at his hand with an innocent but disappointed look to his face.

"The hell are you doing?"

"Shut up woman, I'm just testing if I can cast magic, after all, THIS IS A FANTASY WORLD!"

"Magic huh..." at that moment, an embarrassing scene popped up in my head. It was when I just arrived at Hillian.

"Kagami."

"What is it? Lucas-sama?"

"Want to see a real ground magic?"

"GROUND MAGIC!? You can use it!? Please let me see it!"

"Very well" I picked up a stone nearby with the same size as my fist.

"A rock? don't tell me... You're gonna create a mini golem out of it!?"

"Not really. Well then, here I go

[PUNISH THIS EVIL ONII-CHAN, MAGICAL ROCK, ATTACK]

"hahaha, what's with the strange cha- AUUUGGHH!!"

Before kagami knew it, I already threw the rock at him, hitting his stomach, the power and speed of the throw would've killed a normal person, but to practitioners like kagami, it's just enough to make them feel a slight pain. Tanya looked at the both of us with a dumbfounded look on her face.

"w-why?" kagami, who is sitting on the ground asked me, looking as if he's about to cry.

"hmm... you could call it an unreasonable revenge."

"it's obviously unreasonable! Lucas-sama, you owe me an explanation!"

"Yes yes, for now, let's continue heading back."

The three of us continued heading to the Capital, and after around 22 minutes, we finally arrived. We sneaked in in order to avoid unwanted attention and immediately headed for an inn.

"Both of you should rest here for now, I'll go and meet the students as this kingdom's prince."

""Yes!""

After leaving the inn through the backdoor, I went to a nearby dark alleyway and quickly changed into my former clothes. I quickly went to the inn where the students are currently situated.

"Your Highness!"

When the knights saw me approaching, all of them greeted me.

"Good job, all of you. I'll take things from here, go back to the training zone, my older sibling is preparing a banquet for all of you."

"YES! Thank you, Your Highness!"

"I didn't really do anything deserving of your thanks."

"Hahaha, your highness hired two powerful reinforcements that helped us greatly, that is also a form of help. Anyways, we're sorry for taking up your time, we'll be heading back."

"Yeah."

After the conversation I went to the room where the class president is and asked her to call in the remaining 39. When all of them saw me, they immediately bowed out of instinct.

"Raise your heads, I'm not who I used to be anymore.

"B-But Lucas-sama, we thought you were already..."

"So I have to start there huh, listen up, I'll tell you about what's happening right now."

I started telling them everything that happened from when I was almost killed by the bomb up to this moment. Of course, I removed some irrelevant parts, like my duel with Alvion and the offer of Gabriel.

All of them listened to me, all of them had faces of shock, excitement, worry, and confusion.

"Umm... is there a way for us to go back to earth?" A male student at the back asked me.

"Unfortunately, I don't know of a way yet. All of you will have to stay here until we find a solution."

When the students heard my response, all of their faces became forlorn and filled with worry. Knowing that they might get trapped in an unfamiliar world like this until they die must be hard for them,

"I know that all of you still have a lot of questions, but our time is running out. This afternoon, all of you will have an audience with the king of this nation. If some of you are hungry, just ask the caretakers for help, they will take care of everyone's needs. And also... remember the things that I told you all earlier, about your teacher and kagami."

"Yes!"

The students slowly sat up from the floor and fixed their attires. Some are still asking me various questions, while some are just talking with their friends about their current situations. I stood up from my seat and called out to them once more.

"Everyone, before I leave, let me tell you this, Don't worry too much, I'll protect all of you until we find a way to send you back to Earth."

The student's faces all brightened up when they heard my words, as if they just found a light at the end of a dark tunnel.

"If it's Lucas-sama, then we don't to worry about getting hurt."

"You're right, even if the enemy numbers more than a million, I'm sure he'll be able to protect us all!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"You're right!"

In no time, all of their worries disappeared and they started to talk and move more casually and freely.

After leaving the inn, I went back immediately to the castle. They must be worried already, after all they haven't seen me for almost a day already. If I take any longer than this, mother will....

"I don't even want to think about it" I thought to myself.

When I walked inside, all I saw are maids and butlers greeting me. At that moment, I heard a voice call out to me.

"Lucas? There you are, I've been looking all over the castle for you!" It was Lily.

"Yeah, I was just walking around to take rest after reading too many books. By the way, I heard that Ani-ue and Aneki completed the mission smoothly without an ally dying, as expected"

"I told you didn't I? there's no need for you to be so formal with vincent and I. We're family aren't we?"

"Yes, you're right, sorry, it's still pretty new to me, that's why I can't help but be formal with the people around me." I replied to her, it is the truth, I'm not used to having someone I could call an older sibling or parent, that's why I subconsciously use a formal way of speaking.

"Speaking of the missions, I heard from the 3 royal knights in the Group C that the 2 mercenaries that you hired are quite powerful. Did you also meet them in your travels?"

"Ah, them? Yes, you could say that they are my acquaintances from when I was still a traveler."

"For you to meet those kind of people, you must've travelled through many countries didn't you?"

"In a way, yeah."

"Anyways, want to celebrate with us at the training grounds? after all, you also have a major role in this."

"Thanks, let's go"

Both of us went to the training grounds and we are greeted by the sight of hundreds of soldiers celebrating with all kind of foods and drinks.

"Oh? here he comes, our second prince"

"Good afternoon, Your highness! Have a drink with us!"

"Come and celebrate with us!"

All of them greeted me and offered me all kinds of drinks and foods. I saw Nathia and Airi at a distance talking and laughing with each other, since they rarely get the chance to talk with each other, it'd be best to leave them alone for now, there's also klee and klei playing with a female soldier. After walking for a few seconds, we arrived at the table where the high ranking officers including the 6 Immortal blades are seated and are currently having a casual chat.

"Oh? Both of you are finally here!" Vincent, who was chatting with someone looked at our direction and waved at Lily and I.

"Yeah, you can take a seat beside that purple haired woman."

I looked over to the direction where Lily is pointing at, and there, I saw a vacant seat beside a purple haired woman whose hair is tied in a ponytail. I walked over, took a seat.

"You've been here for a while already but you still don't know who most of these people are. Which is why, let's start by formally introducing ourselves!" Vincent suddenly stood up from his seat and encouraged me and the others to introduce ourselves properly.

"Good afternoon, My name is Lucas, second prince, and a former traveler. Pleased to meet you all."
