《The Summoner》Chapter 2: Ridiculous Request
Advertisement
The location is now within the audience room. The middle aged man from earlier seemed to be the king of Shilla, Shushin Lee the III.
Me and Hyun Jin listened to his ridiculous tale that seemed to come straight out of some Japanese light novel. Something about the demon race is going to invade and attempt to conquer all of the continent. That even though the major races of human, dwarves, and elves had forged an alliance they were still outnumbered. The demons seem to have twice the physical capabilities of the major races.
I just stand there dumbfounded by this generic like plot but Hyun Jin beside me looks like a kid on the morning of Christmas.
Well its not like I can't sympathize with him. He never knew of the existence of magic and fairy tale like different races, even I was very intrigued to see the elves and dwarves.
Beside the seated king on his right was his wife the queen Titania. She appeared very regal and noble - like. She fit the appearance of a queen perfectly and you could tell all the nobles and officers within the hall admired and respected her.
On the other side was the prince Hwaryeong. He had a slim figure with looks that can be called with no doubt handsome. He had a dignified aura around him, but he appeared as if he was disgruntled.
The king was continuing with his explanation and then stated
"Young hero from another world, would you please lead our armies to victory against the sinister demons?"
Hyun Jin beside me seemed like he would answer yes immediately, but before he can I step up and say
"Excuse me, let me ask a question"
All the nobles and officers glare at me disapprovingly as if saying why is this loser who accidently got summoned with the hero daring to speak?!

That's right. It seems as though the summoning was suppose to teleport only my best friend, Hyun Jin. Truthfully I am very greatful that I was summoned along with him. He is way too nice and would be used by these so called aristocrats. Also when the time comes, I can protect him from danger.
Truthfully I owe him a lot. When we were both kids and training at my father's dojang (korean for dojo) he saved my little sisters life when she almost got ran over by a drunk driver. Now I am very over protective of my little sis so I feel as if I owe a huge debt to him.
Well back to the conversation.
Once I see that the king will let me speak I then say
"So, let me see if I got this right. You, without our consent, FORECIBELY summoned us to your world to risk OUR lives to save YOUR people that we have NEVER met? Is that correct?"
The king and queen look at Hyun Jin and I uneasily. I guess they haven't thought about that. The prince glares at me furiously for talking to his father like that. The officers have placed their hands on the hilt of their swords, ready to pull it out and attack me for my insolence towards their king.
Even though I see that I'm not really scared. Fenrir and myself can take all of them to at once in less than a minute, but we won't get into that right now.
Hyun Jin besides me whispers urgently
*Bro that was too harsh. It looks like everyone here wants to kill you now*
*man one of us had to say it and we both know you're way too nice to say it so I just brought it out sooner*

*haha that's true bro. *
While we were whispering to each other, the king and queen seemed to have regained their composure.
"Dear friend of the hero. I really did not think of that and for that I am sorry. We are, however in the worst crisis in the history of the world. We were desperate and even if it may sound ignorant, I still request both of you to save our world."
I replied to him by saying "Why should we? You have forcibly taken us away from our lives in our world. We were both happy with our lives and our families that we loved but you took us away from that. I demand that you send us back immediately. "
The king looked at me with a complex expression. He didn't know what to do. It was not as if he could force them. The prince and the officers in the hall were letting out blood lust toward me stating what they wanted to do.
The king then states that "I apologize but I do not have the means to transport you back to your world. The only way you will be able to return is meeting with the God's after you defeat the demon army."
I look at the king dumfoundedly. You got to be kidding me.
Hyun Jin whispered to me at that moment
*Hey man, let's just help them out. The faster we complete this the faster we can go back. Also I feel bad for them and want to help them....*
*Haa.... how'd I know you say that? It's not like we have any other choice. But you got to promise me three things*
*One you must be careful. Your life is more important than anyone else.*
*Second if I tell you to, you must run. No questions asked.*
*Third you must finally ask my sister out.*
*... I understand the first two but why the third?!?!*
*...No questions*
I knew for a long time that Hyun Jin and has like my little sister. My little sis also likes him but both are too damn shy to ask each other out. If it was any other guy, I would never let my sister go to them because it's too much a waste but if it's Hyun Jin, I feel like it'll be alright.
*...sigh fine..* "Sire we agree to save all races from the demons"
Everyone in the audience hall breathes a sigh of relief and look at him in admiration. I even see a few noble ladies looking at him with wanting eyes.
Step back, you fiends!! He's my sister's!
After the king happily thanks us for helping, we head back towards the rooms we were given earlier. As we are walking and going over what happened today, I suddenly feel the presence of seven blood lusts. I stopped for a moment to see if they would attack us, but it seems they weren't after the both of us.
They were after me.
Hyun Jin turns around and asks me with a confused voice
"You alright man? Why'd you stop?"
"I just remembered I left something in the hall you go ahead man I'll see you in the morning."
"You sure? I can go with you"
"Yeah just go ahead you must be exhausted"
"Alright man see you in the morning"
As Hyun Jin leaves I quietly meld into the shadows and await my trailers.
