(POV Souji)
Not long after that, there was another teenage boy who rose from his chair, which of course he managed to attract the attention of everyone present here.
This teenager can be said to be my natural opponent, where we cannot be in the same group, without trying to kill each other.
No, I'm not kidding. Although we had only met him a few times in the past, but somehow each of us always felt incompatible with each other, so we decided not to approach each other.
Oh yes, this teenager has a pretty feminine appearance on the face, with her skin that looks so pale, even almost similar to a corpse, with a corpse, it has long purplish-black hair and eyes of the same color, and its height seems to be above 178 centimeters.
His name is Bani Dafa Sabiluna. The scholarship student who entered this school a few months after my first year at High School began.
I know enough about this guy, especially about how terrible luck this guy has, plus how hated he is by Gacha, to make me always want to laugh at his misfortune.
From what I remember too, she should have gotten a scholarship along with one of her male friends and her younger brother, while her friend was in the same class as her, an alias of the eleventh grade, but her younger brother was in the ninth grade, just like Masu-chan.
And, it also seems, that he was sitting next to his male friend, who if I do not remember wrongly, his name is Muhammad Rafi Abhimanyu, with a schoolgirl known as the Ice Queen in this school, aka Natsuki Sora.
For now, let's just ignore that first, because I'm starting to feel like there's something wrong with something around my neck.
After I made up my mind, I then immediately glanced towards my neck, while trying to find something there using my right hand, just because I had a really bad feeling in that place.
And, as I had this hunch to say, not long after, I was able to find a thread that was really very thin, already wrapped around it.
No, I'm really not kidding at all. I actually found this thread wrapped around my neck, which is really very difficult to see with the naked eye.
Not only that, I soon realized that this thread seemed to be connected to a place, which after I had explored further, it turned out that it ended right in the hands of this newly standing transfer student.
To make me even more stunned, it seemed that not only did I have this thing wrapped around my neck, but I could also see that there was this kind of thread around the neck of everyone present in this room, with the exception of those two transfer disciples, if only I had looked at it more thoroughly.
Oh yeah, don't underestimate this vision of mine, even though I'm using a contact lens, because if I really want to, I can even see for two to four kilometers in great detail, without any assistance tools.
I don't really know and care about the reason behind it, because other than not having any side effects, except the color of my eyes that kind of makes me uncomfortable, it could be said that this was enough to help me, to find things like this.
Then, after I found the thin thread, I could also see from the corner of my eye that the transfer student was walking away towards the exit.
Although his actions left almost everyone confused, with the exception of that friend who seemed to understand the meaning behind this action, plus I also quite understood the meaning behind it, given our somewhat similar nature in some places.
It's just that, beyond my expectations, at the moment when there was someone who wanted to try to stop him, this teenager immediately moved his fingers a little, before the head of the person who wanted to stop him was cut off.
And, when everyone was in shock, the teenager continued to walk out, saying nothing, with his friend immediately going after him, right after the teenager turned to the right.
Not only that, but the school's Ice Queen did the same thing, though much longer than the teen's friend, with her Ice Queen friend also starting to pursue her.
Just like that, thanks to this one annoying person, I had to think of the best way to get out of this place.
After all, with him doing all of those things, surely...
"EHHH!? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?"
"A-a-ap-is he really dead!?"
"Yeah! Please get rid of it!"
Next... And, next...
In that instant, there were a lot of shouts from the people in this room, especially people from Earth like me.
In fact, Kyouya also seems to be really not used to it at all, while I'm just plain ordinary, because these kinds of things I've met quite often in my childhood.
For now, let's just get out of here, because it seems to be the best opportunity to do just that, given the attention of all those who are distracted, I will definitely be able to leave here without explaining anything to the people.
While slightly apologizing for my previous assumption of Dafa, because he had created a gap for me to get out of here without getting involved in troublesome dramas, I got up and rushed out of here.
That way, along with the six people who had inexplicably followed me from behind, I managed to get out of this palace, without any problem, by following the path of Dafa.
How-to? That easy. Just follow the trail of blood on the floor and in which direction the most corpses scattered, because I'm sure, the teenager will definitely immediately finish off whoever tried to stop him, he said, with the exception of the three people who followed him.
For now, what do I need to do after leaving this Palace? Maybe I'll think about it later, after we did make it out of here safely.

(POV Third Person)
"Dafa! Just stop! Why did you suddenly just go and do the whole thing!?" Rafi said that with great regret, after she managed to block the path of this friend.
Dafa himself just glanced at him with a flat expression on his face, "Why? Of course, it's because I'm fed up with this whole joke."
Just like that, the teenager walked back and left Rafi a little surprised, where the person turned back to chase after her.
Meanwhile, the two girls who tried to chase after him were seen getting closer to them, until after the four teenagers managed to get out of the Palace safely, Dafa then immediately stopped his footsteps, which of course made the three people who followed him stop as well.
Without waiting for someone to say something, Dafa immediately touched the ground and said; "Arise."
And, at an extremely frightening speed, the four of them immediately disappeared from there, leaving behind only a single grain of reddish purple particles that spread in that place.
Not long after, Souji's group finally arrived at the place, where Souji immediately narrowed his eyes, after he saw the particles spreading in the air, because...
'This, right... Did he just use Magic?'
That's absolutely right. Although very few people know it, but on Earth it is something similar to witches, where it is more often referred to as Caster.
It's just that, unlike in this World that it seems like the Witches are living freely, on Earth the Casters there need to live in the shadows of the World, the Witches, just so that the balance that is there is not disturbed.
Although he wanted to find out where the goal of the first group was going, but because they were being chased by time, so Souji decided to think about it later, where he prefers to leave as soon as possible.
If he could, he wanted to directly leave this kingdom, but since he also still needed to find out something that was in this kingdom, so Souji decided to postpone it for the time being.
That way, the two groups that would later shake the entire World began to appear in the Outer World.
Are they going to stop the destruction of the world that is beginning to run? Or even speed up that?
No one knows the answer except time itself, which cannot even answer with certainty.
...
Meanwhile, inside the previous meeting hall, panic was brewing there.
Wh why? That was because, there were four disciples who just left without saying goodbye at all, six students who disappeared somewhere, along with a certain math teacher.
The incident certainly not only made the people who were called panicked, but people from the royal family were just as panicked, especially the King.
However, it's a story for another time, because...

Author Note :
Update again!
In this chapter, there have been too many changes, from the addition of new characters, plus the way they get out of that place is different.
Not only that, there are also new facts about the Earth, plus some of the capabilities of our new MC, which, although it does look OP, is actually physically raw, as well, he's pretty below average.
What's gonna happen next? If you are curious, please wait for the next chapter! Adios~!
