How long has it been since i passed out?
I was tired and got into some forest where the only thing i saw were human remains and some weird hut, of course it's unbelievable!
It has to be some dream for sure, im going to wake up and probably see myself sitting back in my old chair with a book in hand like always. Right?
I don't know how long i was out but when i tried to open up my eyes they felt so heavy that i didn't even try to stand up.
Ah right i need to get up early for my lessons, i guess i can't even rest properly.
After a few minutes of contemplating i started to get up and couldn't help but notice like i was lying down.
Did i fall on the floor or something while i slept?
When i almost got up i instantly fell due to something binding my arms and legs.
-Ugh!
It was so sudden that i let out a groan and finally saw where i was.
What the..
I looked around and noticed that i was in a small room with the only thing inside being the bed and me tied to it, the room wasn't anything fancy just wooden walls and ceiling with planks as a floor and a single door that lead out.
Did i get kidnapped or something?
I instantly jumped to conclusions and thought about most realistic things that could have happened besides being teleported in the forest.
Do they know that I dont have any parents? How would they get any money from this.
My life was pretty easy but i came from an orphanage, the people working there noticed my talents and tried to help me get scholarship in some popular college which somehow worked. I made some friends and had a job to pay for rent so it was pretty manageable.
Ahh i don't even care anymore just let me out.
I didnt think for long before trying to free myself just to see that it was useless struggle.
- haah..
The ropes tied around my wrists were extremely sturdy like from some really expensive material which didnt even budge a little.
Why would they go so far just to get me?
My thoughts interrupted by the sound of steps from the outside which meant that my kidnapper most likely came back.
Let's see who was so smart to just take me in some weird place and then find out he couldnt get anything from me.
The steps halted when i tried to get up and look at the door as if they could see me from outside.
- Hey! Come out here you fucker and show your face! I don't even have parents so you wont get any money from this garbage kidnapping plan!
While yelling at them i made sure to sound extra annoyed to get some sort of reaction but sadly it didnt do nothing, atleast i thought so.
The door let out a clicking sound and the handle slowly was pushed down, it was then pushed inwards and revealed some sort of man with burn marks accros his face and gray hair that was tied neatly in a ponytail.
Who even is this guy, i never saw him in my life why would he kidnapp me?
- Can you shut up for a second ya dumb brat? Im trying to figure out what to do with you.
Huh? This fucker!
- Who are you calling a brat you dumbass! Just let me out and tell me where we are so that i can go back home, i dont have anyone who will pay you to let me free!
Now that i think about it its kind of sad that i dont have any relatives of sorts, atleast im going to get out of this probably.
The man in front of me raised his brow in surprise like i said something unbelievable and let out a sigh.
- Haa.. If you dont even know what is this place then how did you get in here? This forest is made so that no one can access it unless you use a high ranking disarming spell.
Spells? Is this guy on drugs or something?
- Explain to me how a kid who hasnt reached adulthood yet invaded my forest with no one elses help and doesnt have any mana controll yet?
I laid there completely dumbfounded by the situation. Disarming spells, mana controll? What does he even mean by that, he looks so serious like its a real thing.
- Hey dude did you take any weird substances or something for you to think that magic and mana are real?
Now it was his turn to stand there dumbfounded still like a lamp post and look at me with a weird gaze that seemed to express surprise and.. pity?
- Listen kid, do you seriously not understand anything or got amnesia of sorts?
He said so carefully and then walked over to me and started to untie the ropes.
- What amnesia? I was just in my apartment when i most likely passed out and found myself here.
- Hmm
He hummed as if he was thinking about my words seriously and then looked me straight in the eyes.
- Say, what is your name?
- Um.. Julius Kenner, but how do you not know even this much if you kidnapped me?
*Slap!*
He then suddenly slapped me in the cheek like it was the most normal thing to do and started explaining.
- You 'dumbass' brat, i helped you when i noticed you were passed out in the forest with puke all over you and thats how you thank me?
- Augh!
I quickly grabbed the side of my face to maybe ease the stinging pain of the slap and retorted without thinking much.
- What forest! You clearly kidnapped me...
A sudden realization dawned upon me when i was screaming at him.
Forest? Vomit? Wasnt it just my imagination? Wait this is real? Then...
I shuddered upon realization. And looked at the man who was most likely the culprit behind the human bones that were around his hut and expressed visible fear.
He noticed this and grinned, but the grin after all that i saw in the forest looked almost like a devils one. After a few moments he finally introduced himself.
- My name is pretty famous so im sure you will know it. Im known as Edward Granthur, the chancellor of The Great Rudias Gold hero academy.
I passed out yet again from shock and lied there for the next 5 hours or so.
