Mornye listened to the hurried voice in her ear and couldn’t help but frown.
“This kind of thing calling me too… Don’t panic just yet, I’ll head over there right away.”
After sighing, Mornye looked toward Rover and Ryuji in front of her.
“The research institute is an open area for students. You… want to come along? Walking around more here should be helpful for you as well.”
Hearing Mornye’s suggestion, and recalling the other party’s unresponsive tone toward the person on the comms just now, Ryuji felt that the invitation at this moment was like a call for help.
“Mm, then please lead the way, Professor Mornye.” Rover was quite interested in Mornye’s suggestion.
As for Ryuji…
“I won’t be going.”
Ryuji’s words made Rover raise an eyebrow.
“I still need to familiarize myself with the academy and handle the terminal. Without a terminal, many things are inconvenient.” Ryuji explained.
He could see the doubt in Rover’s eyes.
“Alright then, see you later.” Regarding this, Rover didn’t ask further.
“Mm.”
After waving goodbye to the other party, Ryuji walked toward the direction of the train.
Click—
After the train door closed, Ryuji sat alone in the seat.
He found that it was much emptier here than when he came.
Was he such a sensitive person?
Feeling lonely just because friends weren’t by his side?
It shouldn’t be.
Ryuji felt it was probably just because he had newly arrived in this other world, and being alone made him lack a sense of security.
After all, he was originally just an ordinary person.
Thinking this way was very normal.
“…”
Alright, there was still the reason that friends weren’t by his side.
Lynae was in class, Rover…
He would have to avoid her a bit in the future.
It wasn’t that Ryuji disliked the other party or anything.
He felt Rover was pretty good, would guide people, and appropriately offer suggestions to others.
But he recalled what that goddess had said to him before.
“There will be many fun things waiting for you later~”
The other party had indeed said that previously.
Ryuji didn’t think he was someone who would go around causing trouble.
After settling down, he would probably stay safely within Startorch Academy the whole time.
But Rover…
The other party looked at a glance like someone who came to do big things.
Following by her side, there would probably be many variables.
Ryuji of course still regarded Rover as his friend, but first under the premise of protecting himself.
Before settling down, keep some distance from the other party first, and apologize later is also fine…
Hum…
“Hm?”
Just as Ryuji was engaged in internal struggle, he discovered that the train’s speed was gradually slowing down? Find the original chapter at g.com.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Ryuji could feel that familiar sense of weightlessness!
“Am I the kind of person who easily encounters plane crash accidents?!”
While complaining, Ryuji immediately moved himself to the train door.
His physical fitness was average, but if there was the enhancement of Cursed Energy, blowing up a car door wasn’t difficult.
But the key was technique…
His original plan was to slowly refine control over Cursed Energy, then slowly tame other Shikigami for self-defense.
Who knew that on the first day of enrollment he would encounter these troublesome matters.
“Tsk!”
Finally, due to the enhancement from negative emotions, Ryuji kicked open the car door with one foot, then jumped into the air.
Although with the large-scale enhancement from negative emotions, he could rapidly become powerful.
But this also greatly wasted Cursed Energy, and over a long period it could easily cause psychological problems for himself.
However, in the urgency of the moment, Ryuji could only handle it this way.
“Nue!”
After arriving in mid-air, Ryuji hurriedly made a hand seal to summon Nue.
“Kree!”
As Nue grabbed Ryuji’s arm, he sighed and originally planned to slowly descend to a safe position like this.
But…
“Hm?”
His vision, enhanced by Cursed Energy, saw some things.
In the distance, Lynae was confronting a student wearing a red school uniform?
Who was that person?
And hadn’t Lynae previously told him and Rover that she was going to class?
Bang!
Afterward, from above, Ryuji watched as Lynae fired her gun and forced that person into a red portal.
Finally, the robot above Lynae fell and activated, looking quite unfriendly.
So what was the situation now?
Ryuji felt these things were completely not something a freshman like him should see.
If only he had that terminal, then the school side should contact him and tell him what to do?
Unfortunately there was no if.
At times like this he could only decide for himself what to do.
“Sigh.”
This kind of situation was sometimes more uncomfortable than being forced by others to make a choice, because the answer at this time was chosen by himself, without even an excuse to find.
“Go over, as quickly as possible.”
After giving the order to Nue, Ryuji felt the Nue holding him suddenly speed up.
Clearly this was the order he himself had given, but in mid-air Ryuji was thinking of flying a bit slower.
Because that way he could leave himself some room to maneuver.
But he couldn’t give such an order to Nue.
Because the person standing in front of that robot right now was Lynae, his friend.
Did he not have many friends before?
No, he previously had completely no friends.
Amid Nue’s cry, Ryuji rushed at full speed toward Lynae’s location.
…
Beep beep!
The robot named [Hyvatia] that Lynae was facing at this moment, which had a female-like structure, flashed red light under its mask, then looked toward Lynae.
More accurately, it looked toward the glowing cylinder in Lynae’s hand.
“Divine Dogs! Nue!”
Just as both sides were about to start fighting, Ryuji had already arrived at the battlefield and activated his technique.
“Kree!”
Nue charged at Hyvatia at extreme speed, the accompanying impact electricity making Hyvatia slightly dazed.
Whoosh whoosh!
Then the shadows under Hyvatia’s feet stirred for a moment, and a group of black shadows with wolf-head appearances bit toward Hyvatia.
This was the extended use of the Shikigami Divine Dogs, an intermediate form between the formed Divine Dogs.
Although not as powerful in attack as the fully formed Divine Dogs, the greater numbers were good for better restraining effects.
Crack!
At this time those black shadows attacked from different directions, binding Hyvatia.
“Ryuji?!”
Looking at everything that suddenly happened before her eyes, Lynae was very surprised by this.
Clearly she had completely not expected Ryuji to appear here.
“Later you have to give me and Rover an explanation for standing us up!”
Beep beep!
Just as Ryuji’s words fell, an electronic prompt sound came from Hyvatia’s body.
“Oh no! Ryuji! Get down!”
Whoosh!
Just as Lynae reminded him, Hyvatia broke free of Ryuji’s Divine Dogs’ restraint at extreme speed.
“This strong?!”
Seeing the enemy maintaining high speed even in his Cursed Energy-enhanced vision, Ryuji couldn’t help but break out in a sweat.
The other side was completely a mini-boss level monster, right?
He hadn’t even left the newbie village yet!
But while complaining in his heart, Ryuji didn’t dare to be slow with the movements of his hands.
Lynae was too far from him, support would still take some time, in this period he could only rely on himself.
But what to do?
Divine Dogs’ strength wasn’t enough, summoning Nue again without charging up would similarly just be sending it to die in vain.
Tsk, it seemed not to mention the newbie village, he hadn’t even finished the newbie tutorial…
Slash!
As Hyvatia came before Ryuji and brought down a blade, the place where Ryuji should have been standing originally had nothing left.
“Ryuji!”
Finally, in this area only Lynae’s worried shout remained.
