2 Following the Template

 After listening to girl's word 'heroes', the men's armor, and the environment we were in, an idea formed in my mind.

Could we really have been summoned to another world?

We were suddenly enveloped in light and transported to a completely different place and addressed as heroes…it's a classic situation in the "other world" kind of anime and manga you see often recently.

I would have never thought to really experience something like that, of course but to tell to the truth I was really excited.

I observed my surrounding, reflecting on what to do next, when the girl in the white dress cleared her throat.

"Pleased to meet you. I am the first princess of this kingdom of Eldoria, Isabell Forla Eldoria. This is a different world from the one you come from, noble heroes, a world we call Mythralis."

After that she introduced few basic things about the world to us.

"Now I shall lead you to an audience with my father …no, his majesty the king."

After Isabell said all that, some classmate who finally realized we had been brought to a different world start clamoring.

"What the hell is this!?"

"Send us back now!!"

These and other shouts and insults were hurried at Isabell, until Hiroshi raised his voice to quiet them down.

"Let's calm down for a second, everybody! This isn't the time to say that. We should make sense of this situation first. We'll talk about it afterwards!"

Everyone turned silent, waiting for Hiroshi Next words.

"If what the princess said is true, we are no longer on earth, but in another world. For now, we should meet with the king and hear what he has to say, shouldn't we?"

After Hiroshi finished talking, the other classmates looked at each other silently.

If not for this guy jealousy I would have befriended him due to his unique charisma as I can see after his little speech the other classmates looked at each other, silently.'

After few second, however, voices of approval rose among them.

"I agree with that proposal."

"Me too."

"Let's do it."

"I agree too."

Soon enough, more than half of the class was on Hiroshi side.

Ms. Natsuki, unable to grasp situation, was fretting and fussing, confused, but after some of the girls explained the situation, she decided to agree with Hiroshi proposal too.

"Are we settled now, everyone…? Please follow me, then I shall lead you to the audience chambers."

Isabell waited for us to reach an agreement, then left the room.

The knights followed and we did after them, with Hiroshi in the lead.

To tell the truth I was to decline Hiroshi word, but I decided against it because since I have no idea how strong I am, even with this overflowing strength in my I decided to act carefully this time even if I have to follow the template.

After a short while, we arrived at the audience chamber.

The door had luxurious decoration all over it, as expected for a king's audience hall.

"As explained previously … you shall now have an audience with his majesty the king, noble heroes. When you approach the king, kindly bend one leg on the ground and bow your head."

"Yes, we understand."

Well, most people nodded after Hiroshi affirmed.

Isabell then knocked on the lavish door a few times.

Soon enough, a voice from beyond the door ordered us to proceed.

At the same time, the doors opened, and we followed Isabell inside the audience chambers.

The room was much larger than the one we were previously in and had knights lined up on both sides. At the opposite end of the room, there was a throne-like chair and an old guy, probably in his late fifties, sitting on it.

Isabell walked forward a few more steps, then bent one leg on the ground and bowed her head.

Everyone followed the sit a bit later, delayed by lack of familiarity with such customs, but didn't bend my legs. Others were waiting and thinking that I will bow down but as the time passed, I didn't bend on my legs and bow down.

"You, rude man bow in the front of his majesty" said a man among the well-dressed group of people.

I smiled because I was waiting for this opportunity. I know that I can't openly oppose them now, but I can play with their psychology.

"Why do I have to bow to a person whom I didn't met in my entire life and what did he do to me to gain my respect to bow in front of him."

"From point of view he was no different than abductor."

"Or else do you want to oppress with your powers."

I said causing that guy to shut his mouth. I thought that he will speak back like some cliché villain but look like he is intelligent subordinate of king.

'Dang! I gave this king a chance to earn some trust of students by apologizing to us. I should have thought over it.'

"Haha… Lord hero is joking we would never oppress the great heroes."

"But for my subordinate action I would like to apologize."

As he was about to say something, I interrupted him.

"It's ok so can you explain why you called us here and let them stand up otherwise they will soar their legs."

After hearing my word king mouth twitched but he controlled his anger and looked at Isabell and spoke.

"Raise your head."
