Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1057 Downtime

Everyone was teleported to the floating island and it was then that the Adventurers, Mercenaries, and Xenos finally saw what was on top of it. It was an island full of magnificent and grandiose buildings. From awe-inspiring mansions and humbling towers that were even taller than the Tower of Babel, to buildings from unknown architectural origins, everyone stopped at the entrance of this inconceivable piece of land. They would even believe it if this is part of the Upper World where the Gods and Goddesses all resided.

"Welcome to the Ouroboros Academy." Sona, who was walking in front, turned to everyone and welcomed them while adjusting her glasses, "Riveria, please show our guests the Academy's hospitality. Line, please go with Asia since both of you are going to be busy soon with injured people coming in. Hestia-sama, please come with us and we'll discuss how you'll transfer your barrier over the island."

Riveria led everyone in this world to an unused dormitory that could easily house at least a thousand students with the same quality as a very expensive hotel.

"It has been a while since our last meal so let's go to the cafeteria first," Riveria decided after briefly watching everyone, "We'll talk about your rooms after that."

"R-Riveria-sama..." Unable to contain her curiosity, Lefiya finally asked, "How come you are very familiar with this place?"

As if opening a dam, questions started to burst through, "Right! And they seem to trust you very much!" Tiona added. It was then followed by numerous more overlapping questions like 'What is this place?', 'What is the Ouroboros Academy?', 'How is the island floating?' But ultimately, what they wanted to know the most was asked by Finn, "Who and what are these people?"

Riveria smiled at them and said, "They are people from another world."

Only a few of them were shocked as most of them didn't even understand the concept of 'another world', for it's a very foreign idea. Riveria also understood their reaction since most of them haven't been able to leave the continent they are in.

"But before I explain that, let's welcome them first." Riveria continued while looking behind them.

From the distance, the silhouette of multiple people was seen flying towards them and the most striking one among them was the intricate and majestic red armor in the middle and it didn't take long before they reached Riveria's group.

"Freya-sama!" The first ones to approach them were Freya's children and it was soon a cascade of worried children who ran to their Deities to check their health.

"Of course." Riveria also cleared her throat, "This is Issei Hyoudou, the Red Dragon Emperor and this is Vali Lucifer, the White Dragon Emperor. They are Kisuke's close friends."

"Issei-san, Vali-san, this is Zeus-sama, one of the Chief Gods. Behind him, from left to right, are Ouranos-sama, Loki-sama, Freya-sama, Hephaestus-sama, Hermes-sama, Takemikazuchi-sama, Astarte-sama, Demeter-sama, Ganesha-sama, Miach-sama, and Kali-sama."

"Nice to meet you, everyone. I apologize for my crude actions from earlier. I was in a rush." Issei smiled and offered his hand to Zeus.

Zeus received Issei's hand, "It's nice to meet you too and we understand what you had to do. In fact, thank you for saving us. We would have perished if not for the two of you."

Zeus also looked at Vali but the latter just kept silent while quietly sizing up the Deities.

Feeling his rude gaze, Issei immediately went in front of him to block his sights and laughed awkwardly, "...Ahahaha... I'm sorry about him. He's not very good at socializing and a bit of a battle maniac."

"It's fine. He saved our lives so we're still thankful."

Though before they could continue, the shadows under their feet suddenly started emitting Divine Aura that was also foreign to the Deities of this world. Soon enough, the shadow gathered in one place and a head of a black-haired lady peeked from it, [Riveria! Help me look for the stowaways!]

[Stowaways?] Riveria thought about it momentarily and said, [Was it Claire and the others?]

Without any hesitation, numerous Magic Circles appeared around Riveria and as soon as she clapped her hands, the echoing wave of Magic Power spread throughout the surrounding area.

Riveria didn't have to say anything when everyone suddenly heard a voice near them, [Crap, she found us! CHEESE IT!]

The space where the voice came from wiggled slightly before it revealed the figures of three girls. The one who spoke, a girl with grey hair and grey eyes, used Flash Step and instantly disappeared and the other two, a blonde fox girl and a blue-haired girl, also disappeared using Flash Step with the former panicky said, [C-Claire! Wait for us!]

Everyone was silent but Issei and Vali were the most nervous, [...Did you feel their presence?] asked Issei.

[I didn't even know that someone was that close...] Vali answered after contemplating for a bit.
