Chapter 14 - Familiar World Part 1

The next day, an announcement rang across the base in the morning.

This is Gen. Paul to all students. An entire schedule change will be dealt with today; please prepare to go out. We'll be doing a mandatory event with all students, and a special expedition has been presented to our base. Expect to be gone for a few days. Make sure you are packed appropriately; that is all.

Quinn, looking at his remains, wondered what the heck was going on. 

As the seawards started wandering out. Teachers were directing all the students out to the field, and there in the middle of it was a portal, and the teachers were having the students go through it. 

Quinn, thinking to himself, how odd, don't I usually gas us before we go through a portal? This is rather interesting. So,o where are we going that we don't need to be gas at all? As soon as Quinn stepped through the portal, he realized immediately where he was: Arthur's ship. 

He said out loud. Warden, looking at him. This is a punisher. Ship, why on earth are we on this ship? And where are we going? Somebody walked up who looked very familiar, Quinn. It's good to see you, Layla greeted them. Quinn, looking at her, " What on earth are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be around? 

Layla responded it's fine. Everything has been sorted out. They officially pardon me for my crime, and now I'm allowed to rejoin the classes. As they went to gather it up with their teacher, they welcomed everyone. I know that this is very odd,d and this is not our normal procedure, but this is a special event with the punishers and several of the other faction leaders. 

We're going to be taking you guys to the familiar world. The entire class cheered and began gossiping about the female world. I thought that it was only available for travelers. This is a great opportunity. I heard it was very difficult to get in there, let alone get a contract. Only the strongest could get contrac, ts, and you also require special training as well. 

Don't worry, everyone. You will not need to go through any special training for this, but there's a good chance. The majority of you will not get familiars for this trip. Usually, the training is to help increase your odds of getting familiar. But this trip will be slightly different. I'm trying to give you an opportunity. To get one, but for meals are very picky on who they have contracts with, Vincent said. 

Now, the punishers will be escorting all the students from base to that includes the second year to the planet, and we'll be entering the familiar world together. 

Quinn says, play the why exactly are you here? Even if you were off the hook for your crimes, it's still quite dangerous, isn't it? How do you respond? It's fine, Arthur's assured me that I'll be okay. Returning to class, there are no further issues now; even if I have a bad reputation, we'll be fine.

Ah, there you 2 are, Quinn Layla. Please follow me to my office over here. Arthur said. Everyone in the room looked at them like they had committed a crime. Quinn, and later, started quickly walking towards Arthur and hurriedly running to his office.

Please have a seat. As the 2 walk into Arthur's office, now, just to let you guys know that there is now a cold war going on between the Sunshields, family, and the sixth family. Unfortunately, we will have to take sides at this point. The Sud Shields may have their issues. 

So we don't exactly fully agree on them, but they do have some results about them, and we can straighten them out eventually. Quinn, hearing all this, was in shock. How could the meeting turn into a Cold War so quickly? There were only lots of bits of bickering going on during the meeting; how could this be leading to such issues?

Earther said. There's actually more to it than you may have realized. But these issues have been bubbling under the surface for some time now, and the tension has just finally started coming to the surface.

But this is not good at this point when we are about to enter war, and this issue needs to be solved sooner rather than later. At that moment, a beeping sound started happening with the flashing light on Arthur's desk, and Arthur reached over and pressed the button. What does the person on the other side respond? We have arrived on the planet were ready to disembark the students. Good, I'll be right there.

The students started disembarking the spaceship and began filing them all towards the center of this town. Everyone could see this giant structure in the middle. As soon as they got close, they could tell that aid was guarding something, but they couldn't tell from the outside. But as soon as they all went inside, they saw it, a giant gateway with a portal. The portal in question did not look like any of the normal portals that everyone has been going through before this one was quite massive, and it looked different from everything they're used to. They showed no color, but it seemed like a transparent mirror looking to the other side, with strange plant life and colors.

Alright, everyone. Before we start sending you off to do your contracts, your contracts will establish a position in the middle of the world. When the big gap is set up, we will begin the process. We have the 4 familiar kings here. They will be guiding. The familiaris over here and will be going through a process where they will be walking through and finding anyone who will be suitable for them. Remember, the contract is very specific. And we'll make sure that everyone gets a chance to be looked over, but there's no guarantee that any of these creatures will be willing to form a contract with you. As the group began their March towards the center of the dimension, students were wary of the weird landscape. High, where many of the sergeants flanked the students, making sure that everyone was staying together. It didn't take long before a student became separated.

As Tsukuru was walking with the group, he felt something he felt the urge to suddenly stop and turn. There, he could see something. He felt that something wanted to go to him, but couldn't, so he needed to go to it felt right. His system piped in,n detecting a new quest. Form a familiar bond.

Shizuka seeing this noticing that he started walking away from the group towards the direction, she decided to go ahead, follow him and finding out what he's up to as soon as Shizuka tried to get close, she noticed a barrier, had been put up blocking her, she couldn't figure out how to get past it, but all of a sudden, the floor gave out beneath her and she started falling, she couldn't activate her ability for some reason. This world did not have an Earth that she could bend. And suddenly she started floating, seeing Lights starting to pop up around her, seemingly guiding her to a location where her brother would be safe.

As chaos was occurring, the rest of the students had made it to base camp and began setting up the familiar Kings, started organizing the creatures of the world, and preparations, war contracts being set up all of a sudden, a black horse with Wings. Came flying towards them. The king realized what was going on. Just allow it to occur. 

A strange black-winged horse with a horn on its head came flying towards Shizuka. She wasn't totally stunned about such odd creatures showing up in this world, but couldn't figure out why such a creature would be flying towards her, of all people. Isn't something like that considered a mythical creature, a unicorn? Such a creature flying towards her, one with so much blood on her hands, it would seem very odd for some reason, the creature decided to make a contract with her. She took the opportunity to fly back and see if the generals had any idea where her little brother had gone. She landed right outside the command tent and strolled right in. Paul, I need to know if you've seen my brother. I lost track of him after he split up. Does anyone know if he's reappeared? Paul stood there, stunned. Sweat dripping from his forehead, the other 2 generals begin showing panic at Shizuka's presence.

Arthur stepped into the tent after noticing the commotion and the unique creature that flew in, thinking that something major must have happened. Oh, good, you returned, and you brought a friend. I was wondering how long you 2 were gonna take. But it looks like only one of you has returned so far.

As Shizuka immediately steps down on the ground, causing the Earth to surround Arthur, encasing him, He simply shadow travels behind her and taps her on the shoulder. She immediately turned around and began swinging at him. He just dodged away, smiling, enjoying the struggle. All of a sudden, he grabs one of her fists and holds it, slowly overpowering her. She managed to punch him in the face, and he simply grabbed her fist and started pushing her back with it. Nice punch, that actually almost tickled! She started backing off, and Arthur let her go as she stood there, glaring at him. 

All right now, your brother is fine. He's currently being watched by one of my men. I knew what was happening already; they spotted you and your brother walking away from the group. I was informed that you also got yourself a familiar contract, so I wasn't worried about you guys. 

Somewhere on earth.

I'm glad that everything has finally been sorted. Hopefully, there's going to be enough firepower to take on this force that's coming. I'm not liking what all the futures are leading to, but I'm glad that I have this device, and I'm able to see all these different things. things Possibilities, but it seems that Quinn's future is still being distorted. I guess the time anomaly that surrounds him and his family is just too potent to see where everything is going on, only what has been. Alright. Time to activate the time core.

The time core is a special device that allows the user to see all of time. No matter what different possibilities are available, see all of the futures past and possibilities available in the time string; even the what-ifs of time are visible using this device. The only exception is time anomalies. The device uses a combination of magical circles. Runes and nest crystals with the very core of this machine, a storage crystal with the ability to focus the whole machine and allow it to operate correctly. 

Bliss, sad, maybe I could finally figure out what's going on. I'm almost pinned down every possibility, but there seem to be issues every time I change things into a more positive future, it's like somebody else is aware of the alterations and is trying to counterplay me, could it really be the death God interfering, what I'm doing, does he have access to time itself? That shouldn't be possible. He shouldn't have access to the timestream at all from his end, let alone say anything outside of the red space.
