Passing through the woods, Haruki raised his hand to summon spirits, causing the grass to part, and followed the mage, planning to head to one of their magical strongholds.

This was indeed a continent brimming with magic, a scene straight out of a fantasy novel unfolding before Haruki's eyes. Strange and peculiar forests, humans wielding magic—Haruki felt like the protagonist of an adventure game, standing on this land.

Upon arriving at the designated location, the class president stood in front of a dense forest, waved his hands to create a circle of light, which rapidly expanded after flying into the air, eventually covering the entire dense forest and then swallowing it whole.

The dense forest covered by the light circle disappeared instantly, replaced by a massive mansion standing at the foot of the mountain.

With its stone-carved main structure and wooden decorations, Haruki finally saw the classical architecture he had only read about in books. If it weren't for the various runes that appeared, Haruki would probably have confused this mansion with medieval architecture on Earth.

The ancient Mage Guild is a place where all mages of this world go, and becoming its highest leader represents the pinnacle of magic and cultivation. Adorned with both humanistic and magical elements, just one glance seems to fulfill most of Haruki's fantasies about otherworldly architecture.

"Please follow me, hero of another world. I will greet you here and answer any questions you may have about this world."

President Muban personally extended the invitation, and the other mages stood by solemnly. This heavy atmosphere made Haruki, who was not good at interpersonal relationships, feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Isn't this a bit too serious? Zeta and I just came to help when we saw someone in need. We're just ordinary people and Ultraman."

Haruki's straightforward personality makes him less adept at handling many situations, but his pure heart makes him easily understood. The class president, understanding Haruki's meaning, changed his previous serious tone and spoke to Haruki again in his usual approachable manner:

"Please forgive my rudeness, Hero. Please rest in the guild for a while. I will analyze the current situation and then discuss the next steps with you. Please accept our offer as a small reward for your victory over the monster."

"In that case, alright, I do need to know what exactly happened here."

Haruki no longer refused and followed the class president's instructions to enter the guild. The class president mobilized some members to help him sort out the situation, while the others were sent to deal with the aftermath of the monster rampage. As for Haruki, this visitor from another world, the class president chose to have A-Kyu conduct the initial communication.

The class president asked A-Jiu to approach Yao-Hui, not because A-Jiu had any exceptional interpersonal skills or a natural talent for language. Rather, the class president realized that A-Jiu and Yao-Hui were similar types of people. People of the same kind often get along naturally without any backstabbing or manipulation.

"Yo-ho, hero from another world! Nice to meet you, my name is A-Jiu, you were so cool just now!" The energetic girl didn't care about any formalities or greetings, she was eager to share her feelings with the people she wanted to share them with, that was what she valued most.

"That voice? You're the one who called out to us from that halo. I didn't expect that beneath that ethereal voice, you yourself would be so unexpectedly cute." Facing the lively and cheerful girl in front of him, with a lovely face and a youthful appearance, Yao Hui's first impression was that of a girl next door.

"Of course, besides being cute, I'm also quite powerful! In the relic array connecting to another world, I stand in the center to summon the hero! As for positions, everyone just follows the class president's arrangements."

Ah Jiu readily accepted the praise; for her, gaining recognition was more appealing than magic.

"From the very beginning, they've been talking about another world and heroes, so what exactly is going on? Could you tell me about it, Miss Aku?" Haruki and Zeta weren't too worried about their current situation, but to prepare for future battles, it wouldn't hurt to understand their environment better.

"No problem, but I need to think carefully about where to begin." In Ajiu's opinion, Haruki's combat strength could be considered the strongest in this world, but his understanding of this world was like that of a child who had just stepped out of his home; everything before him was unknown. It would take some effort to make the completely ignorant Haruki understand.

"Let's start with this world's self-introduction, but for now, I'll tell the story."

The place we live in is called Auspicious Continent, a land rich in resources. People here learn knowledge and magic, working and living alongside other creatures. Wild animals thrive here, and monsters with special abilities and intelligence coexist peacefully with us humans.

"Monsters that coexist with humans? That's incredibly rare! There are very few worlds in the entire universe that can achieve that!" Whether fighting on Earth or adventuring in space, Haruki has always been highly interested in the issue of coexisting with monsters. After traveling to many planets with Zeta, Haruki has a strong feeling that he will definitely find the answer he has been searching for.

Unlike Haruki's excitement upon learning the current situation, A-Kyu became somewhat silent after mentioning monsters. Although A-Kyu spoke of monsters and humans coexisting harmoniously, that was simply not the case in the current situation.

"But why didn't I see a single monster or wild animal as I walked here? I barely even heard any animal sounds."

"Because after that dimensional monster appeared, it wreaked havoc on the land and attacked other creatures indiscriminately, causing many wild animals and monsters to suffer severe persecution and forcing them to evacuate the area."

Even most humans dare not move around during the day, fearing another attack from that monster. Now, this place is no different from a green desert because of that monster.

After Ajiu explained the situation, the joyful atmosphere that had been immersing the two of them vanished completely, replaced by a shared moment of reflection between the two peace-loving individuals.

"So that's why you summoned the hero? To seek the power to destroy that monster in another world." Haruki broke the silence first. Unlike his excited question after discovering the new world, his tone was more resolute this time, reflecting Haruki and Zeta's shared determination to fight the calamity.

"That's one of the reasons, but we really don't have the power to fight that dimensional monster. Neither our human magic nor the monster's power can provide much resistance."

A-Jiu loves pursuing new and exciting things, but she also doesn't ignore what she encounters in reality. She never forgets the pain suffered by humans and monsters, which is why she joins the summoning ritual organized by the class president to fight against that dimensional monster, even if it means facing the monster's terrifying threat without hesitation.

Haruki understood the people's predicament and knew how terrifying that ferocious monster was. Its abnormal dimensional power was something that ordinary abilities could not contend with. The pain in his left shoulder constantly reminded Haruki and Zeta of this.
