1 Summoned to another world
"Okay, settle down students. I'm taking the row call now. Make sure to say I! Everyone got it?" The substitute teacher Mr T. Loshi spoke his voice shrill and grating like swallowing a heavily salted lemon or worse being told you writing a test that very day. All the students sat in their wooden desks two by two, the oppressive white walls as conformist as ever.
"Andile Dube, you have been named what say you?" At first the students all murmured to each other at how weird the way the man with the wet green hair asks row call. But in J. K. Louw Hoer Skool, you must never question your teachers especially. Those like Tau.
Andile a light-skinned fellow says, " I!" The teacher smiles and makes a note on his paper which is purple.
"Asande Mbhata, you have been named what say you?" She is one of the three queens of class, Tau has never spoken to her even when they had group. He had to everything and she just put her name at the bottom. But at least for a few days he wasn't the least popular person at school.
She says, " I" rather softly, the man's pen a traditional ink and feather makes a mark on his purple sheet.
"Ayanda Mbhata, you have been named what say you?" Ayanda is the twin sister of Asande and just as gorgeous and ethereal to Tau.
She says while chewing gum, "I." The substitute Mr T. Loshi looks at her then her sister and makes his mark on his sheet. Adding a small note. Using a feather makes it easy to see that he writing something else as he has to dip his feather at least two more times. The silence is unusually but the man's presence or rather his musk is very distinctive.
" Bongani Buthelezi, you have been named what say you?" He is a charismatic boy and star rugby player. Also one of the biggest boys in the class.
Bongani says without looking up from the porno mag he is reading, carefully hidden inside a textbook. "I, sir."
"Mxm!" The loud obvious click of dissatisfaction got their attention. Some even mentally prepared themselves for a beating. The sub takes out a red logbook and makes his note their then continues.
"Calvin Johnson, you have been named what say you?" The boy is blonde-haired and arrogant. Tau keeps his distance as the boy likes to name call.
Calvin says, "present." The Mr T. Loshi slams his hand on the table and says rather low.
"You are all testing my patience, you have been given instruction before Right! Or is this a class of deviants. 8 F makes you all the lowest of the low. if there is one more outburst you will all know me, mark my words."
He brings out a white book, it is written in gold and has the most beautiful blue finish on the edges of a pages. Mr T. Loshi makes his mark in the book.
"Next is yes here it is. Uhm..." He clears his throat puts down his feather pen. "Dineo Ndlovu, you have been named what say you?"
The bespectacled one number in class says "I sir!" Shaking his head Mr T. Loshi makes a note in the red book. Some student see scowling at her and are afraid she didn't do the right thing. He continues thou.
"Dimitri Desnoesk," is a white-haired foreigner who came to the school about a year ago. Adjusting hasn't been easy for him but at least he is friendly sometimes. His accent makes it difficult to speak to him in great detail.
He says "I," Mr T. Loshi quickly Making his note in the purple page before Dimitri can say anything else.
"Diana Melaka, you have been named what say you?" She is one of the sweetest people Tau has ever mee. He has been working up the courage to ask her to the spring festival.
She says "I", a river stirring inside Tau, she has beautiful brown hair. A full body both in the front and the back. She is so sweet and dim not stupid just not well sharpened. But she is after all a sweetheart she needs no wit with those looks.
The teacher nods smiling and makes a note in his purple page. Licking the feather tip with his mouth. He then continues really pleased his voice sounding a little relaxed now.
"Evelyn Iframe, you have been named what say you?" Evelyn is the final one of the Queen. Thou she is neither beautiful or smart. She is strong a star athlete in every field she is in. Her one flaw is her friends the twins who abuse her and she then abuses everyone else in class sometimes even the teacher.
Evelyn says, " present." Mr. T. Loshi looks at her displeased taking a moment to reconsider his threat as she cracked a knuckle. He writes her name down in the white book.
"Fesi Abrahams, you have been named what say you?" The boy is a team player and never really stood to Tau. Not that Tau stands out to anybody.
Fesi says, "I" going back to whatever he was doing. Mr T. Loshi makes a note in his purple page.
"Gcina Lethu, you have been named what say you?" ask Mr. T. Loshi, he looks at her directly and she at him as she answers calm but firmly "I."
Mr. T. Loshi says "Very well alright." then makes his note in the purple page.
"Helena Troy, you have been named what say you?" Tau doesn't mess with her she was held back a year in school after being expelled from her old school for setting a teacher office on fire.
Helena says with a tinge of rage, "I." He makes a note in the purple page. Struggling with the next name for some reason he says.
"Injabulo Zungu, you have been named what say you? He had bitten his tongue saying that.
She says sadly, " as always I am here." he doesn't waste anytime putting her name in the white book slamming it shut as if saying something they should all understand.
"Jabu Jacob's, you have been named what say you?"
Jabu responds with, "I."
"Khetwe Khosi, you have been named what say you?" She is somewhat proud, but generally a nice person. Tau doesn't mind her and she ignores him. Which is just fine for them both.
Khetwe says "I."
He makes his note in the purple page and then says.
"Lilita Wanda, you have been named what say you?" Lilita is a well-mannered girl Tau thinks. He has never actually had a chance to get to know her better even though they have been in the same class since middle school.
She says in her nicest voice, "I." He nods and makes a note in his book. Tau thinks to himself, 'my name is coming soon. Maybe I should say something different. But then I don't want to be punished by the class. Plus I wonder who this guy is he looks so creepy.'
"Sir can I please go to the bathroom."
Mr. T. Loshi says with a little spittle falling out his crusty mouth. "No, your name will be called soon and you must be registered properly."
Tau lowers his head and shrinks in his chair. Thinking to himself,' What the hell man are you trying to get me beat. Next time shut your ass up. This dude is clearly mad, just a stupid substitute deal with and don't get me mixed up in your shit again.'
"Masego Sethu, you have been named what say you?" Masego like Calvin is a loose person. She is a stunner with a great a pair on her and a fantastic laugh. She wears the most alluring outfits but Tau has always liked his woman less open. Not that he has ever had a woman even on his sixteenth birthday only three boys showed up and they are from lower grades.
Masego says "I," her shirt barely able to keep back her ample round and plump personality.
"Neo Anderson, you have been named what say you?"
Neo immediately says "Of course I'm here who else did you expect." Neo is Neo. Brown eyes, black hair, with some freckles and dark brown skin. Proud and full of confidence the class president and school treasurer. The only one ever to come out of any of F ranked classes.
Mr T. Loshi slams open the white book writing furiously then slams it shut.
"Oda Niki, you have been named what say you?" She is also a good student well-liked by her teachers not so much by Tau.
She says, obediently "I" Mr. T. Loshi mumbles something under his breath like four more to go but Tau could not be sure.
"Palesa Pule, you have been named what say you?" She is also a beauty. Some say even the most beautiful in the whole school and Tau agrees with that asset. Thou slimmer than Diana, Palesa is tall and framed like a statue. Subtle curves and sublime eyes.
Palesa says, " I. " Tau looks at her she always seems distance from everyone else in class. The note in the purple is also put.
"Raul Lucas, you have been named what say you? Lucas prefers going by his surname is a generally nice to Tau only when he wants something but he is very straight forward so Tau doesn't mind him.
Raul says," I" smiling like is going to say more then the teacher marks his name. The purple page is being written around the bottom
The door to classroom slams shut. Rattling the large windows that overlook the sports field. Some of the students scream. Mr. T. Loshi didn't even flinch he looked as if he had been expecting it and only shrugged then he continued.
Tau felt his heart beating louder, he didn't want to be called but its not like he just can't answer. Thunder rumbles, throughout the school. The sky through the windows is sky blue and not a cloud in sight. Tau swallow waiting for his name to be called.
"Tau Tanaka, you have been named what say you?" He looks at the teacher trying to see his options. He doesn't know what going but even a blind man would see something is happening. It's the way he looks, the way his shadow has been perfectly still even thou he moves. It's his completely black eyes, his crusty lips and wet hair. Everything about the man is setting off alarm bells for Tau.
Tau thou doesn't know why he has a feeling and it's tingling a lot. He stalls a bit and the teacher looks at him. Reaching into his back he pulls out the fourth book. It's a scroll of some sort. The outside is written in gold. The hyroglpy for Anibus is in it. He knows this because if his favourite science fiction show, wormhole explorer, where they gods as enemies.
Mr. T. Loshi brings out a new ink jar that's also gold and as he is about to write in it. Tau says "I" standing up sweating.
He switches back to his normal feather and writes at the bottom of the purple page.Tau hearts makes him miss ever else remaining to expect the very last person
"Zinhle Morrah, you have been named what say you?" Zinhle is as lovely as her name. Always helpful and light in the dark.
She says "I."
Mr T. Loshi laughs loudly as a large complex series of lights show up. The light is four small circles that are white. Complex patterns on them. Then Calvin, Evelyn, Injabulo and Neo vanish. Everyone stands from their seats disbelieving at the sight they just saw.
First a red diamond shows up under five students, two of them Bongani and Diana. The other three are that Tau was too nervous to hear. The diamonds are surrounded by red smoke and the students dissolve. Leaving only their clothes behind.
Everyone is freaking out, screaming and some even pissing themselves. Outside the sky idyllic and unchanged to the chaos gapping inside the classroom 8-F. Finally Mr. T. Loshi packs all his stuff and bows as a large summoning circle appears on the roof its green and shoot strands of lightning at everyone.
When the teacher bowed, Gcina, grabbed Palesa her friend and they fell Towards Tau when the lightning all three vanished. The class had been transported...
Mr T. Loshi appears before three kings. The first is a massive demon at least 22 feet tall. His skin is white burning with gold. His are horns are pure sliver and he has thirty-six wings. The wings are bright red covered in eyes. The demon king speaks loudly fire spilling from his mouth.
"This is unreasonable, the number of candidates is only four. How do expect a fair contest? I demand you to give me more candidates." The fires roar from his mouth landing all over the God space. Mr T. Loshi drops his vail. Layers of magic falling of the man leaving only a little Goddes. The trickster Goddes Andie, her barely-there bikini grips everything pulling showing the patterns of what should not be seen.
"I think you forget yourself, child. You make demands of me. Ha! This is only happening because of the error you made. So be grateful the goblin king still accepted your challenge. I would have killed you myself. Disturbing an entire tournament just because you were excluded the nerve of you demons always so demanding."
"Listen here, you dumb bitch I want more candidates. Don't tell me about the rules and tournaments. If you really could kill me you would have done it already. This is the third and final game. I will not be cheated out of a victory." Says the demon his eyes all open throwing curses at the Goddess.
" Please accept your candidates or quit either way the show will go on. Your filthy kind has no business in our selection games yet here you are I wonder who's docked you sucked to be considered. My fuck now that I think about it who cum did you swallow to get this qualification. Tell me was Zerknakutel or Deemoaner. Please say Deemoaner I fucking dare you. " The little Goddes spoke handing him the white book.
The demon let out a guilt flame and seized the book before falling back liking over his candidates. He explodes further as he says " These candidates are predetermined, these limits are unfair you witch!" The little Goddes smiles wickedly and says.
"That's for being rude, Morningstar. Now get the hell out of my sight before I cripple your kingdom. As adjudicator of this tournament, I will do it just for shits and giggles test me. You overgrown sack of mediocre, unrefined shit! Just trying to insult you had me thinking at a lower level." The huge demon doesn't respond but the heat on the God space has risen to uncomfortable for the small Goblin king with his crown of thorns. The green skin shuffles trying to get cover alongside. The huge human next to him.
King Nililus is covered in Armour. A huge dark gold steel body. Every inch of him protected. The goddess moves to him. Handing over the red book. The king doesn't look at the names inside he puts away and waits.
The goddess looks at the Goblin kings, she has never seen one get to this level before and she is disappointed believing that the weakness of this generation as allowed this filth to arrive at such a place. "
She doesn't directly address him or even looks at him. She drops the purple sheet by her feet and moves to enable the observer and sets up the various rules of the world.
This is one of her favourites she has set up. It is very deadly and difficult even for someone at her level. She tells herself she is making sure they are worthy thou she knows that in her they are all less than shit. If she had her way she would have killed them already and found new kings to take the trails.
Death's shadow bursts into the God space, "enough start the tournament we all want to get started child." she moves quickly putting down the final touches and then implementing the kings who are all summoning the student ms through there respective kingdoms.
She is struck down, violently by a wave of shadows, Death's shadows speaks," No one can't such a tournament you have wasted a trail spot."
She smiles while in agony, gripping herself and says, "It's in my nature."
******Helipos*****
Deep inside the jungle, sits a small green-skinned, crown-wearing, pointy ear having Goblin. His kingdom is the fire in front of him. He curses out loud at the Goddes she has interfered again. He laughs loud he does not care this is his last go and he will bet everything on the candidates.
