My eyes were hazy when I opened them, and I was still experiencing nausea. After some while,  I could hear someone calling my name. My vision slowly improved, and I managed to see the woman who had called me earlier. She was the former student council president, whom I planned to meet after the meeting with Alex was finished. She had visible indications of tears on the corners of her eyes, suggesting that she had sobbed previously, yet her face still looked lovely and lovely, just like the last time I saw her.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't because she suddenly hugged me tightly, made me shut my mouth, and just squeezed her back, calming her shaking body from what happened.Avia was there too, and she appeared well. She also gave me a quick glance, as if to make sure I wasn't injured. Avia, who was also called to this world, was calming down, so she was unable to come here even if she wanted to.

I also saw the other situations of the others, and they looked messy, either their clothes were torn, their bodies were injured, or there were several people still lying unconscious.

When I realized that we were in a large, light-filled space, I noticed that there were many people dressed like knights in white and gold armor, along with other people wearing luxurious, aristocratic attire, and a number of priests attending to the people who had just been called. There were also the magicians, who were worn out and drenched in sweats.This was like the ones in novels and movies that were once the cause of many stupid people committing suicide, and we really exist in this world now.

"Are you relaxed now, Bella? You gave me such a strong hug that I had trouble breathing"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Evan. I was shocked to see you show up out of nowhere and then pass out. I moved without seeing it because I was afraid something bad might happen to you when you woke up."

Bella let go of my body. She analyzed every inch of my body to check how I was going. She smiled and gripped my hand strongly, as though she didn't want to be apart from me once again, after she was satisfied and realized everything was okay.

"Hello Evan, It's nice to see you again after so long, even though we met in very unexpected circumstances like this."

"Why don't you greet me first and then give me a hug? Why do you act in the other way? But Bella, it's a pleasure to meet you as well."

"It can't be helped, I was too panicked. And also because we will be together in the future, so you won't be able to avoid me anymore, Evan."

"I'm not avoiding you, Bella, I'm just not responding to all the messages you send, that's all."

"Tch, that's the same thing. You have to compensate me for all the time I wasted waiting for your reply."

Look at how she pretends to be angry by puffing out her cheeks, it's cute, but I didn't fall for her charm, nor did I ever ask you to wait for my message. Well, never mind, I'll let her hold my hand as much as she likes now.

My body was better now, I stood up and looked around better. The persons who had been summoned here had expressions of confusion, happiness, despair, and other emotions on their faces.

But I at least understand a little why they express themselves like that, maybe they are confused because they don't know how to handle the current circumstance or what their future holds. Maybe people who are happy because their dream of becoming the main character by coming to another world has just been achieved, which many people dream of even losing their lives, And maybe those who are sad because they are separated from their loved ones, whatever it is but at least that's what I can feel.

"Evan, why are you contemplating like that? Is your body still hurting? Would you mind taking off your clothing so I can check them?"

"You think I don't know what you're thinking, I won't obey you, you lustful woman."

"Ehhh, why are you so cruel talking like that, and yet it's your fault because we haven't done that again since I graduated from school? Well, you're right that I am now lusting after you, but it's still harsh, heum."

I know that. How could she have thought of that at this critical moment? Was she unaware that this was about her future?

"But Evan, do you also see the status window in front of your eyes? I've seen it since earlier, this is like how we play MMORPG virtual reality games, it seems that since we were summoned to this world, we got a system, this is indeed like what was told in the novel that once I read."

"Wait, Bella, there's a status window you can see, I don't see anything like that. How do you call it?”

"Ehh, it's weird, because I didn't call it, this has been before my eyes since I woke up in this place. And it seems like the others can see it too."

I looked around, especially at the person who had a happy expression. He was muttering various words, but what was certain was that his happiness increased. I tried calling it in various ways, like how the main characters call the system, but nothing happened. Why is it like this? this is giving me a horrible feeling, like if something unpleasant is going to happen to me and it won't be fun at all.

Shit, I've also read some novels where everyone who was summoned had special powers, but there wasn't one, either he was just a side character who would die in the near future or he would get the cheat one day. And I don't know which one it will be, this is a reality where lives are at stake, so I can't do whatever I want here.

It's a big problem for me because I know how this world works from Althea. Weakness is unforgiveable in a world where the strong are revered and have the power to influence others. In this world, one's strength mana, magic, or an incredible physique determines one's reputation, and weak individuals have no place speaking to the strong.

I definitely have a really strong body, but when compared to the people in this world, it can't be compared. They could kill me easily with just one blow or cast magic from a distance I don't know where it came from.

"Bella, did you feel anything other than the status window?"

"Ahh, Wait a second, I have a feeling, but I'm not sure how to express it... First of all, my senses have grown sharper, , even my range of vision and hearing have expanded. I also feel something entering my body, I don't know why, but I feel comfortable, and it feels like part of my body. Ah, this is the most noticeable, I understand what people here say even though they speak in a foreign language."

Damn, the thing I was afraid of has now really happened, I've just become a side character and loser here. Fuck with cheating in the future, I don't even know how to survive for a month from now. I didn't feel anything about what Bella said, even though I understood what they were saying, but that's because I learned from Althea and didn't understand this automatically like they all did.

"Evan, are you okay?"

"No, I'm not okay, Bella. It's not good news that I didn't feel anything you said."

"What..."

{Please pay attention, dear guest}

A woman speaking in the language of this world interrupted our talk. Her attire was so magnificent and dignified that it could have been worn by a princess from another world.

{I'm sure you can understand what I'm saying, am I right?}

These people nodded their heads, indicating that they could indeed automatically understand the language of this world. Bella looked at me with a questioning look, it seemed like she was asking what I was going to do, what should I do? Should I tell the truth and say that I understand what was said, even though not in the way these people do? Or pretend to be stupid?

Taking every advantage and disadvantage into account, it appeared that the best course of action was to act foolish. After all, I was sure that the fact that I wasn't like other people would soon be known, so I asked Bella to translate what the woman said. She said what the woman said earlier, even though it's actually not necessary. I'm sorry, Bella. I'll treat you to food later.

{Nice to meet you, My name is Seraphina El Rubyvale, and I am the first princess of the Rubyvale empire}

This beautiful woman had just introduced herself as an imperial princess. Most people were surprised by this statement, although there were some people who acted casually as if they had expected this to happen, like the person behind me who looked like he was about to do something suspicious, Alex.

{Let me begin by offering a warm welcome to each and every one of you as visitors to this world. The reason behind our call was...}

{Stop!}

Look, he indeed did something troublesome, people immediately looked at him, the princess was shocked, and a knight standing behind the princess spoke in an angry tone to this troublemaker. I'm with you, Sir Knight, just beat this guy hard.

{What are you doing, barbarians? Don't you know the manners not to interrupt someone who is talking?}

{Did you just talk about politeness with me? , What kind of nonsense is that, politeness? Was your act of kidnapping us from our comfortable lives polite?}

You? Comfortable life? This bastard just got in trouble with the government for stealing from them, but talking about living comfortably? but at least the argument he made was correct, even the knight couldn't answer anything and just looked at the princess.

{We apologize, dear guest. However, the reason we…}

{Stop!}

Hahaha, that bastard is indeed a troublemaker, he interrupted the princess twice. Look,  Even her expression appears to be suppressing her wrath. Although the knights appeared to be getting ready to fight at any moment, Alex didn't seem to care and kept talking.

{I don't care about your reasons, I'm sure you'll just ask us to fight for you, right? Give us the details later, don't you see our situation here? Let's at least find a more pleasant area for us to rest and talk.}

Harsh words, but I agree with him this time,  I only feel bad for Bella, who was speaking in order to interpret their conversation. The princess opened her lips to respond, then closed it again as if she had changed her mind. She continued to speak in the same kind manner as before.

{My apology for the treatment you received, honorable guests. Please follow the servants beside you, they will show you a place to rest. Well, I will meet you in a more appropriate place until we meet again, dear guests.}

The princess left this place with her knights, she looked like she was running away from this place. Sorry, but the dude talking to you is a jerk, princess.

The elegant and attractive servants came up to us and showed us where we might have a nap. Alongside Bella, I noticed Alex grinning, as if satisfied and proud of what he had done. What a tiring day for someone who just wants to live in peace.
