Ep:4- Jiwoo's theory

All the six classmates were called at the same previous tent.

Is it a confinement tent or something?

The classmates couldn't helped but to look around. There were few men, the knights, standing around. Soon the huge man from before came and stood in front of them like previously.

He said: "Seems like you are alright after a little rest, hm?"

The classmates showed no expression other than a deadpanned look except Jiwoo, who was the only one had a rest.

"So where should we start?" The huge man asked.

Jiwoo raise her hand and said: "If you don't mind I'll speak first."

The classmates and Jiwoo glanced at each other. They remember what Jiwoo said in the tent before coming there.

"I'll speak there. You guys just listen silently."

Jiwoo turned her head to the huge man, waiting for his response. He nodded in agreement.

She started: "First of all, sir, I don't think we are at our own world."

That was the only sentence she said and has already confusing everyone there.

"Listen, listen, listen to me first. I know this sound ridiculous but..."

She quiet down the chatters without even shouting.

"This is my theory... based on what I have observed 'till now."

Jiwoo was determined to speak her mind out no matter what the other thought.

"Long story short. We are just some college or I shoulr say academic students, were on a HELL of reunion camping trip. Suddenly got transported here in the forest similar to the camping forest, by the similar lake and the area around it. Seeing the ancient things like that at first I thought we have time traveled back at ancient times but the more I look around the more I found it brazen. The only conclusion came into my head is that we are in another world."

This was sure some ridiculous shit, they were hearing but somewhat it was intriguing.

"Looking at your expressions, I know you think this is the worst shit I have ever heard but hear me out."

Woah.. she know their minds well.

"The reason why I came to the conclusion of transported into another world is that..."

She paused a bit and asked the knights: "Excuse me but is your hair and eyes colors are born—I mean natural?"

The knights nodded in response.

"See? It's natural here, they are born with these. But in our world this is unusual. There people usually dye their hairs to change colors and wear colorful eye-lenses for such a magnificent look. Now, take a look at us."

Jiwoo pointed herself and her classmates.

"Doesn't we look different from you or the people here. We don"t have such eyes or hair color, do we? Oh, some of the classmates dyed their hair."

Now that the classmates and the knights notice, they sure look different from each other.

"Moreover. In our world, even in the ancient times, there's nothing like these colorful hair or eyes rather If anyone from that time saw you, they were definitely thought of you as God or mystical deity. This is all fantasy you know? In our world. Even the dress up , clothing and a lot of things here is quite different from where WE are from."

They didn't know what to say or think anymore. They were speechless because whatever shit her mouth was splitting it all seems to be true.

"Hey, don't dare think that I'm bullshitting because I watched and read a lot of animes, mangas and web novels. Okay? It's not because of them. NOT AT ALL."

She warned the classmates, if they dare to blam her lifelines.

"Furthermore, I have more proofs, if you want to see bring out our bags."

.... . ....

They even brought them their bags back which was fortunately untouched or else who knows if the classmates have snapped out.

No one liked it if their belongings are touched without their permissions.

Jiwoo took out her phone and checked it first. Fortunately, it got on however it doesn't work well; there's no network…???!!!! How am I suppose to live with a phone with no internet?!! T-T

This is really some fucking shit!!

She showed it to the knights anyway: "Here look at it. This device, you must haven't seen before. It's a kind of machine in our world to connect with different people. It also have a lots of other features. I can take pictures and live recording from it."

She looked like a salesperson, selling a product.

A knight said: "I guess I have seen it before."

The classmates shockly asked: "Here? When? How?"

The knight: "I mean that unlike you said, it's similar to a magic tool often used by magicians... Although it doesn't have other features than connecting one another through it."

Jiwoo dropped another bomb: "See? They even have magicians. They use magic. Then there must be witch and their crafts I mean witchcraft and Black magic, mana, Divine powers, aura… whoa… etc. etc."

She said it like a list of house grocery, so nonchalant.

"Wasn't it also weird that they said 'xxx in imperial calendar' ?! Because in our time or world, Imperial calendar are not use, nonetheless, they were used in ancient times. So to sum up it all, we are in historical fantasy world. The end."

She ended her theory there.

There was an awkward silence until Jiwoo causally cleared her throat and asked.

"Ehmm-ehm! Can I have some water please?"

Everyone flinched. A knight passed a water pouch to Jiwoo.

She felt good after drinking some water since it's been a long time she have spoken a lot. Usually, she don't speak much unless necessary.

"If it will be hard for you to report this, I can help you, Mister." Jiwoo said voluntary.

The huge man looked over her: "Well...I don't think I'll need it. Thanks."

She said 'fine' with a shrug of her shoulders and proceeded to drink another sip of the water.

The classmates checked their bags well and were relieved, nothing missing. They glance over Jiwoo, and wonder why is she so composed in such a situation.

Well, this was actually her usual self. She has always somehow managed to keep herself calm and compose in tensed situations.

Jiwoo noticed the classmates were looking at her with the corner of her eyes. Without even looking, she passed the water pouch to them.

"Uhm... Would you mind if I ask who's the one who ordered you to take us here—!!!"

She flinched and frozen as she felt a chill down her spine. And shockly looked around in the tent but couldn't find the cause of that chilling sensation.

Watching her reaction, the classmates and the knights also looked around and then back to her.

"What's wrong?" the boy Junghyuk asked tensely.

She looked at the classmates as if something has irritated her: "It's just... felt an overwhelming presence...a stare... but that person isn't here...I guess."

Jiwoo rubbed her spine. The time she has done speaking, a female voice was heard as a figure entered the tent.
