Not the "Support" you were expecting

Chapter 3: I got a jobless class

  AN: Sorry for the late update. Been busy.   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iso opened his eyes and light entered in his vision. Sunlight was entering the room through an open window that was supposed to be close the previous night. Iso was dumbfounded. Someone must have entered the room when he was sleeping.

Then he noticed, the door was open already. His fear yesterday was wrong or at least it didn't happened. Some maid or servant or something must have unlocked the door and opened the window.

There was a note on the table near the door. Iso saw it before he left the room. Written on the note: "Breakfast will be held at the same hall last night."

It wasn't really important but Iso guess they like notifying people. He remembered yesterday that he wants to know what the Priest Leader's name is. So he tried to find him as he goes to the supper hall for breakfast.

He made sure to memorize the way from his room to the supper hall last night. It will be problematic if he doesn't know where to go. He tried asking the people that he encountered where is the 'Priest Leader' but they didn't know also. So he asked them what is his name instead.

His name was Aulus Nizzola, the head priest of the church branch in this city. Being a head priest grant him some powerful influence. That is when Iso heard what is the significance of a head priest. And someone has more authority than him. It was the Pope of this country. Many country has its own Pope, so there are multiple Popes in this world. But there are also many religions in this world. The religion of the Aulus, previously called Priest Leader, is just one of the major religions of this world

Well that is one question off Iso's head. He entered the supper hall and saw many of his classmates already eating breakfast. He got his food which composed of egg, bacon, and some rice. The egg particularly doesn't look like it was from a chicken. It has a different quality, a different look. But he can't be really sure.

He found Aimi sitting with other students with one room for more. Since Aimi is or was the president of their class, she holds some influence. He had something important to tell her. He sat down near her and started eating.

"Hey Aimi. I found out the name of the priest le-, I mean the name of the priest that summoned us is Aulus. But that is not what I really need to tell you. What I want to tell you is that: We forgot to ask if we can return back home to our world" (Iso)

Aimi's eyes widen when Iso mentioned that. "You're right. We should have asked when we had the chance. But we already decided on fighting in the war..." (Aimi)

"Well we could still ask if we find him. If ever you encounter him, please ask it's possible we can go home. I think he'll listen to you more." (Iso)

After that, breakfast continued.

The students were lead out of the supper hall and into a new place. They were taken outside for the first time. They were atop a small mountain overlooking the city below. A wall was surrounding the castle and the nearby city. Far away, two more walls can be seen for the protection of the city.

They were lead to what is supposedly the training grounds. A person whom they were introduced yesterday was standing there waiting for them. He was one of the mentors that will teach them how to fight. His name was Eadwulf Widukind.

The students were given a thin rectangular-shaped metal. A little bigger than a passport. It was light yet it felt like it was indestructible which probably it is. Warrior General Eadwulf started to explain what it was for.
