“Professor Mornye?”
Rover looked at Mornye, who had walked up to her, with a puzzled expression.
Compared to Rover’s confusion, Megumi felt in his heart that the other party didn’t look like a professor at all.
In this fantasy world, being short didn’t matter much, but Megumi mainly felt that her personality was far too introverted.
“Do… do I not look like a professor?”
Seeing the doubt on Rover’s face, Mornye immediately looked anxious.
In response, Rover quickly raised her hand with a light wave, while also shaking her head.
Megumi watched this scene from the side, finding it somewhat comical.
Like two big cats.
One was eager to prove herself to the other, while the other was afraid of hurting her self-esteem.
“I’ll take you to record your tapes.”
Seeming to feel that her previous outburst lacked poise, Mornye immediately straightened her facial expression.
Megumi and Rover exchanged a glance and followed her.
On the way to the Recording Room, Mornye explained the abnormal phenomenon that had suddenly appeared earlier.
“What you saw just now were memories from former teachers, staff, and students of the academy. This happens occasionally.”
Mornye was talking about the memories of others that had appeared in Megumi and Rover’s minds earlier.
Along the way, Mornye began to introduce the concept of tapes to Megumi and Rover.
“Lahai-Roi is constantly shrouded by the Nihility Tacet Discord, so we invented tapes to allow those swallowed by Void Magnetic Storms to leave behind their frequencies and memories from when they were alive.”
Listening to Mornye’s introduction, the image of a coffin came to Megumi’s mind.
Carrying something that recorded your entire life felt a bit sorrowful.
It was as if the students here could die at any moment due to external elements.
For someone engulfed by a Void Magnetic Storm, it sounded like this tape would be all that remained of them in the end.
Thinking this, Megumi looked toward the side.
There were some tapes placed on the wall with names written beneath them.
They were likely left by people who had already passed away—the few remaining proofs that they had once lived.
“Alright, the Recording Room is just ahead.”
Following Mornye’s guidance, Megumi and Rover saw a cylindrical room made of transparent glass panels ahead.
“You go first, I’ll take a look at the scenery outside,” Megumi said.
Even though he was a transmigrator, he felt that compared to Rover, he wasn’t exactly a person of great talent.
Megumi felt that he was essentially just a minor character who had struck some dumb luck.
“Mm.”
Rover didn’t stand on ceremony with Megumi.
With a slight nod, she walked toward the Recording Room.
After traveling this far, she had become quite familiar with Megumi and didn’t need to engage in polite formalities. Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.

Once the door to the Recording Room closed, Megumi looked at the surrounding facilities and researchers.
Most of the researchers were frowning, desperately tinkering with the data in front of them.
As for Mornye…
Megumi noticed that she was looking at Rover inside the Recording Room with a face full of concern.
That wasn’t the kind of expression one should show upon a first meeting.
Combined with the familiar vibe that Dr. Luuk Hess had shown toward Rover earlier…
They must have known each other before, but why did Rover act as if she knew nothing about them or this Star-Torch Academy?

At that moment, the recording of Rover’s tape was complete, and she walked out with a somewhat dazed expression.
During this time, she looked with some confusion at Mornye, who was making eye contact with her.
That bewildered expression made her look like a lost fawn.
“Do you need to rest for a bit?” Megumi stepped forward and asked.
“No need…”
Seeing Rover shake her head, Megumi glanced at Mornye behind her.
“Then go over to Professor Mornye. Her perspective is definitely higher than mine; she might see what’s wrong with you,” Megumi said as he walked toward the Recording Room.
Asking Rover was simply because he felt that as a friend, he should do so—nothing more.

The tape in front of him dropped into the slot, and the disc inside began to spin slowly.
After that, Megumi watched as the Research Institute before his eyes vanished, replaced by scenes of his past.
To be honest, Megumi didn’t think there was much worth seeing.
If he had to describe it himself, it would probably be a boring life.
Born into a family that was neither rich nor poor, he pursued his studies with results that were merely average, eventually immersing himself in the online world because he felt lost about the future.
If a sudden car accident hadn’t caused him to transmigrate, Megumi felt his life would have likely remained this boring until the very end.
No.
Even after transmigrating to another world, he didn’t feel like he would accomplish anything great.
He was never someone with grand desires; everything he wanted to see had already been satisfied by the internet.
In this moment, he felt like he had wasted a ticket to another world.
*Buzz—*
Then, the scene shifted, and he arrived back in that familiar pitch-black space.
This was where that Goddess resided.
“Yo.”
Seeing the Goddess in front of him greeting him, Megumi was certain this wasn’t a memory. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
She had likely used some means to pull his consciousness here.
Since she was a Goddess, Megumi didn’t find it strange that she had such power.
“Why did you suddenly pull me here? Did you think my performance was too boring?” Megumi simply sat down on the ground.
To be honest, he didn’t have the slightest bit of respect for this ‘benefactor’ who had thrown him into another world.
After all, she had almost caused him to fall to his death.
“It really is quite boring~ I originally wanted to watch some good drama, like you being handled as an intruder by Star-Torch Academy, but you were actually saved by that Rover~”
By the end, the Goddess sighed.
“But it doesn’t matter. You’ve been in Solaris for less than a day; there will be plenty of fun things waiting for you later.”
Hearing the Goddess’s words, Megumi’s brow furrowed.
By now, he had a good idea of what kind of person this Goddess was.
A piece of work.
And since someone like her said there would be ‘fun things’ later, it would definitely be something disadvantageous to him.
“This time was a special circumstance that allowed me to talk to you. Our next meeting will be after you die. Bye-bye~”
“Wait!”
As the Goddess waved her hand, Megumi hurriedly tried to call her back.
He still wanted to ask her about the Tacet Discord and why she could so easily stuff Cursed Energy and Cursed Technique into him.
But before Megumi could finish his sentence, he found the scene before his eyes had returned to the Recording Room.
*Click—*
After picking up his own tape, Megumi walked toward Rover and Mornye.
“Hmm, this student’s tape recording content is normal.”
As Megumi approached, the researcher responsible for the tape content let out a sigh of relief.
The Goddess’s methods were truly remarkable; it seemed his past life must have been altered in the eyes of that researcher.
But hearing the researcher’s words, did something go wrong with Rover’s tape?
Thinking this, Megumi looked at Rover and Mornye.
They seemed to have just finished discussing something.
“Alright, since student Megumi is out, I’ll explain some more functions of the tape.”
Seeing Megumi approach, Mornye began to introduce them to both him and Rover.
“Tapes have the function of warning about the arrival of Void Magnetic Storms and providing a slight resistance to their effects.”
After speaking, as if remembering something, the short professor immediately added a supplement.
“Of course, this doesn’t mean you can charge into a Void Magnetic Storm just because you have a tape. Safety first.”
Seeing the tiny professor’s serious expression, both Megumi and Rover couldn’t help but smile as they agreed.
However, Megumi himself didn’t think he would ever venture into such a dangerous place.
“Professor Mornye! Where are you right now?! Dr. Anselm! Please calm down!”
Just then, an urgent voice came from the device by Mornye’s ear; it sounded like someone was contacting her.
