《Heroes of the Collapsing World》Chapter 1: Introduction (High School)
Advertisement
Author note: Edited. Added name and fixed Selia's name.
Changed perspective.
“First of all, does anyone remember what happened to us before we came here?”
The person who took the leader role was a handsome student with bright blonde hair. Previously he was the student council president although he already retired because he already in his third year.
Maybe because of his vast experience when he was the student council president. Yuu looked calm in this situation and was able to lead this discussion. Even if his inside said otherwise. He was somewhat a dependable person in front of the other..
“I may be wrong but did a meteor really falling toward earth?”
The one who answered him was a feeble looking girl. Her slightly white hair and pale colored skin gave out an impression of sickness.
Her body was slightly trembling neither because of her fear or cold. If you looked at her clearly you will noticed that even though it was summer she wore the winter uniform.
She had that strong impression to made people want to protect her.
“Ah, sorry before that we should introduce ourselves while we are at it. I’m Yuu as some of you might already know it. I was the student council president. Thought I already retired. And you’re?”
“I- I’m Mary. First year…”
The feeble looking girl, Mary, answered him and the person next to her followed.
“I’m Julie also first year.”
The girl called Julie was the opposite of Mary. She looked very healthy with her toasted tan skin and her well proportional body that on the level of gravure model. Normal healthy would say that she looked sexy.
She also had this confident expression on her face which made her looked older than her actual age.
“Selia, second year.”
Selia, the pony haired girl answered just like the other two.
“Me yo, Huke! 2nd years, nice to meet cha!”
Upon hearing Huke’s introduction that was mixed with broken English Selia held her face with her palm as if she had given up on something.
While the other made an amazed expression that had the similar meaning to “I’m amazed he can still joke around in this situation.” or something similar.
The next person let out his breath. Because of Huke’s ridiculous introduction he escaped from nervousness and was able to talk properly. Which he was thankful for.

“I’m Mike also second year.”
“Hey you what with da short boring intro yo! Why don cha follow ma example, huh?”
“Ah, sorry hahaha”
Because of Huke’s sudden interception. Mike can only let out a dry laugh. Selia punched Huke from behind after that.
“It’s my turn.”
The next person had a huge build that easily surpassed two meter in height and one meter in width.
“I’m Hyodou. first year. I did martial arts since grade school and because of that I have this large build. However don’t mind me and call me whatever you want.”
Because of the unexpected friendliness that contrast with his build. Everyone widened their eyes in surprised.
“First year? Seriously!? Man i thought you were a third year that repeat grade several times.”
Huke was being stupidly honest and let out his mind.
“Ah, I was often misunderstood like that. So I don’t mind it.”
“Wow, you’re a good guy! Let me call you ironman.”
“Why ironman!?”
Selia retorted.
“Because he look tough like a steel?”
Huke spoke his simple reasoning. However that simple and honest side of him made him more or less being fond of many people.
“I understand. Then from now on I will also call you Hukky.”
“Wait hukky? No no no no. Please change it into something else. Girls aside, I don’t want to be called that by a macho guy!”
“Fufu, you got what you deserve.”
Selia giggled at Huke who earned new nickname, Hukky. On the other hand Huke himself was trembling in disgust.
Is it intentional or not Huke had made the tense air around them disappeared, so they continued their introduction to the last person.
“I’m Hans, third year. Unlike the two beside me I’m just a normal student whose hobby is to take a nap. I was even asleep when the meteor was falling.”
Because of the tense air already gone and Hans’ nonchalant attitude some of us unintentionally let out a laugh.
Just like his nonchalant attitude Hans figure was also reflecting himself. Messy black hair, untidy clothes, and always smiling face. People can easily figure out what kind of person he was just by looking at him.
After Hans turn. Their introductions come to an end. However Yuu knew that there was one person who hadn’t introduced himself.

“Wait! There’s still one person who hasn’t introduced himself.”
Yuu who noticed that pointed that out to the other. However it wasn’t that they forgot about him or anything. It was just everyone chose not to mind him. The person himself look bothered to introduced himself.
“Feral, get up and introduce yourselves!”
“What are you, my mom?”
After saying that the person that was sleeping on the grass few meters away from them. Feral stood up and headed toward the other.
Upon seeing him from close, people would notice that his height and build ddidn’t lose compared to Hyodou, who studied martial arts.
In fact if you added his handsome face that gave the image of mad dog and his slimmer body, Feral was better except for his personality is the problem.
“Feral, third year. Hobby: fighting. I accept everyone challenge so if anyone interest just say it”
It was a shame that he was like that. If he was a more decent person he can easily get along with the other.
Yuu had known him since while back. So he knew well what kind of person he was.
Multiple case of over violence and most of them got send to hospital. Rude behavior even to teacher that caused him to be called. And rebellious act when warned. Because of it the people around him was either underling or special people like Yuu who was his acquaintance since young.
“Now then that we finished our introduction let us continue the previous matter.”
When Yuu said that the tense air reappeared again. The one that were unaffected to it were Feral and Huke.
“Just like Mary said before a meteor was in reality was about to hit earth when all of us suddenly arrived here. Does anyone have any idea on what’s happening? I don’t mind if it either from a movie or novel try sharing us your hypothesis.”
The first one who raised her hand was Selia.
“This’s something that I read from a light novel but isn’t this transferring?”
“Transferring?”
Mary who was new to this kind of concept tilted her head.
“It meant we were transferred into other world. In the story usually we are summoned in a castle or somewhere with lots of magician. Then with clear objective such as helping human fighting demon race or the demon king, we begin our journey.”
“The transferring part makes senses however we weren’t summoned by someone unlike the novel you read.”
“There’s also case when God took part and summon them thought.”
“Selia is an otaku!?”
“I see. Anyone has different idea?”
Ignoring Huke’s comment, everyone once again started thinking This time the one who raised her hand was Julie.
“How about we’re already dead and this is heaven.”
“Hiii.”
Mary who imagined that let out a shriek. She also stated trembling even more than before.
She looked around as if she was looking for something to hold into. Julie who was next to her didn’t have any choice so she offered her hand.
However what Mary took was her arm. Julie, who was hugged, only let out a dry laugh and scratched her cheek.
“That’s also possible however why only us? In that hall there was supposed to be around five hundred other students. Not to mention because our school combine grade school until high school there was supposed to be around thousands.”
“Maybe, it’s because we’re special or something?”
Everyone became silent from Mike’s words.
“No. Let’s considered that because there might be something similarity among us that made us gathered like this. Later we will discuss this topic again after we combine with the other group.”
Yuu who took the leader role close this discussion and now off to combine with the other group.
Yuu realized that the only thing special among them was that they lived. While the other friends died in that meteor strike.
Also he realized that Mike’s word made everyone remembered the chaos that they intentionally didn’t want to talk about.
Mike was also stood and fascinated the meteor when it happened. He didn’t know what the other had seen in that short chaos. Nor he ever will know the fear that was carved into their memory and heart because it was already passed.
Everyone was holding back their emotion to prioritize their discussion because they were adult enough to know what they should think about now.
The High school students were thinking about the reason they were sent here.
The High school students were thinking about the reason they were send here.
