Chat Group For Magicians

Chapter 107: Magicians Vs. Demons Part 1

"Kill them all!"

As we are about to launch our attacks, a huge blue magic circle similar to the magic circle that appears during teleportation engulfs everyone including me to a blinding light. I did not have any time to respond to it neither my familiars, Anya, and Maple on it. Before we knew it, my whole vision turned blue and my surroundings started to change. My familiars returned to my consciousness in response all of a sudden to the teleportation. Only Maple, Anya, and I are left behind.

PA!

I landed in my butt to the ground- or should I say floor which is pretty much painful to my precious butt. Everyone else also fell to the floor, landing in different angles. I stood up after recovering from the teleportation and saw that we are back to the Hall where we started and got teleported to the other world. I also noticed several people performing teleportation and saw many magicians popped out of nowhere and landing in their butts. Some are even wounded while some are still wielding their magic skills and was too confused about what happened to them.

Just then, I heard a familiar voice.

"Kazuma!"

I look around and saw the delinquent looking guy who I met not too long ago and one of the magicians in the chat group. None other than Godou. Behind him is Erina and Moonlight who all have bruises and torn sleeves on their uniforms. One thing is certain for them, they have endured a lot of sh*t on the other side of the other world.

"It's been a while since we last meet Kazuma and you seem to have progressed in your magic training. You seem to have grown some muscle too since you looked so clunky before," Godou said while grinning and tapping my shoulder.

"And look at you, you didn't change a bit. You are still the same. Even the girls have changed drastically and you looked the same."

"Don't be like that Kazuma. You already know that I don't want to be too ripped. I don't want to be mistaken as a bouncer."

Erina is still quiet while Moonlight did not seem that shaken by the turn of events. However, she is silent as usual. I don't want to talk leisurely for now because I still have no idea what is happening and why we are teleported all of a sudden back in here. Before I can ask, Anya tugged my shirt and looked at Godou and the others.

"Who are they?" Anya asked.

"Ah, they are my classmates and they are also fellow magicians. They also participated in the training so they are here," I explained.

"Who is this adorable kid Kazuma?" Godou asked.

"My adoptive daughter," I answered

Godou's eyes looked at me with surprise. Even Erina and Moonlight who are quiet for a while was astonished when I said Anya is my adoptive daughter.

The three were about to ask something when Maple tapped my shoulder.

"Hey Kazuma, it looks like Nekoyama-sama is about to say something."

When Maple said that, every one of us looked towards the stage and saw Catmod with Otome and Voltaire beside him.

"You all must be confused why we forced teleport you all back in here, but some of you might already have guessed the reason. The reason is due to the invasion of the demons. Many of the magicians that first started to enter the other world are now dead due to the demonic beasts that are too much for normal magicians to fight against especially those who have no experience in battles. But many have managed to survive and get to reduce their numbers. Still, we are still sure that the situation is calling for forced recall so we did it to everyone who is still alive."

Everyone looked around us. It might look the same from the time I was transported with the rest of the second batch. But I can tell that this amount of people is clearly small already since it should have been the 2 groups of magicians that managed to get transported to the other world. If the two groups managed to merge together in this place, that means the numbers were reduced drastically.

"Now, here is the thing. I know many no longer wanted to get back to that world and wanted to go back home but we wanted to employ those who are still able to fight to accompany us to defeat the enemy demons and claim back the other world. We will be giving out rewards too for the contribution too. Of course, you are free to back out. We might be running out of back up, but we can handle a little bit of them but a helping hand will certainly help on getting us to finish the job," Catmod said.

Many of the magicians are not sure what to do and looked at the others if they wanted to back out.

"Are you going to go and help Godou?" I asked.

"Yeah. I have encountered one of the demons I've been hunting for many years today. I don't want to miss this chance to perform my revenge against him."

A demon that Godou is hunting for years huh... I am not in the position to ask but I will ask him in the future.

"What about Moonlight and Erina?" I asked.

Godou was about to answer on their behalf when Erina answered immediately.

"I want to get stronger. I don't want to be a piece of useless baggage every time even though I managed to awaken my magic. I want to prove myself," Erina said.

"...Then I will also go," Moonlight said although I can see that she is not cool about it or she seemed to be against Erina of going back to danger.

"What about you Kazuma? Are you also going back?"

"It's obvious. I don't want to miss this battle. Fighting against demons is something I have to do to increase my ability to fight them in the future."

"What about your companions Kazuma? Are they also going to fight? Your stepdaughter seems to be also a magician since she has mana on her body, while the girl you teamed up with seems to be quite proficient in magic and melee weapons too," Godou looked at Anya and Maple with great observation. He managed to see through them.

"Anya will also come, Anya might be small but Anya will never be defeated so easily!" Anya said with enthusiasm.

"I also want to experience first hand the battle against demons so if it is not a trouble, I would also tag along," Maple said.

As we are talking about the situation, magic circles in different colors started to appear around us. I was alarmed at first but then I saw the people appear in the middle of each magic circle and even without using Mana Scan their mana is very easy to detect.

"Oy, Catmod, don't leave us out on the fun, so where are the demons?" a green-haired guy asked and scratched his head as he looked at Catmod lazily.

"Hai! The goddess of fortune has arrived! My Fortune Mastery will also help!" a twin-tailed blonde girl appeared with a frilly outfit. What made her peculiar is that she is holding a sort of wheel on her hands.

"Yaya, don't cause a scene here, we are here to defeat demons, not attract people for your fans club," a girl with a sisterly aura who also wear glasses said to the twin-tailed girl.

"Ah... If demons are also here, then that means I can get more doujins if I beat up demons? Rewards, here I come!" a nerdy-looking guy who I think to be an otaku just like me also appeared though he was immediately sent flying by someone who looks like a monk since he is holding the Japamala on his right hand and staff on his left hand. He is also wearing a monk robe so he is a real deal monk.

"Impure thoughts should be banished as always Raigaki. Do not taint the others of your impure thoughts."

When I heard the name "Raigaki", then the people who arrived are the magicians in the chat group? They have arrived!
