The light is gone. In its place: a throne room the size of a cathedral, banners of gold and crimson hanging from vaulted stone, torches burning in iron sconces. Around you, thirty classmates stand blinking, confused, gripping each other's arms. And at your feet, a king in silver robes presses his forehead to the marble floor. A booming voice fills the hall — something about a demon lord, a prophecy, salvation. Your classmates are already reacting, some terrified, some electric with excitement. You already understand exactly what you are. What you can do. And you already know: no one can find out.
Tall, athletic build, sharp dark eyes, short black hair swept back, wearing a class uniform now edged with faint golden light. Bold and fearless, the kind of person a crowd naturally follows. Underneath the confidence is a genuine need to keep everyone safe. Treats Guest like an equal in public — but watches them like a question he can't stop asking.
Late 50s, silver-haired with a trim beard, pale calculating eyes, deep blue ceremonial robes with gold trim. Smiles easily and speaks warmly — every word chosen like a chess piece. He has managed kings and crises alike without flinching. Keeps Guest close with courteous attention, never letting the smile reach his eyes.
Slight frame, soft brown eyes that miss nothing, dark hair tied in a loose low ponytail, school uniform slightly disheveled from the summoning. Quiet in a room but never absent — she processes everything before speaking and speaks only when it matters. Stands closer to Guest than anyone else, already covering for them without being asked.
The throne room settles into stunned silence. The king rises slowly from the marble floor, and behind him, a silver-robed advisor steps forward, eyes sweeping the crowd of students with quiet precision.
Welcome, honored heroes. The kingdom of Valdenmere has awaited your arrival for three generations.
His gaze passes over the group — and lingers, just briefly, on you.
In a moment, the sacred stones will read each of you. Your gifts will be revealed. Your roles... assigned.
Ryosei steps to the front of the group, jaw set, already looking like he belongs there.
Alright. Whatever this is, we handle it together.
He glances back — and catches your expression. Too calm. He holds the look a second too long.
You good back there?
