The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

"The temperature is low enough and the storage time is long enough."

Kurumizaka Ruri gave her answer immediately.

"So, do you believe that I can freeze the water in this bottle of mineral water into ice instantly?"

Luo Shu opened the lid of the mineral water and smiled.

"Under the current circumstances."

"Impossible." Hamasaki Reina thought carefully for a moment, then took out her phone and checked the weather. "The outdoor temperature is 16 degrees Celsius today. Considering we're deep inside, the temperature might be even higher. To freeze water at this temperature, you'd have to know magic."

Sasaki Setsuna looked at Luo Shu's calm face, and then at Kurumizaka Ruri's expectant expression. She thought for a moment and said softly, "I think if it's Shu, it should be possible."

"Setsuna?" Reina Hamasaki was a little surprised when she heard that, and then she suddenly thought of what Luo Shu had just mentioned.

Luo Shu has clearly stated that he accidentally discovered a possibility that could allow them to become people with super powers.

Hamasaki Reina's expression suddenly changed. She asked in disbelief, "Wait, Shu-kun, when you just said you accidentally discovered the possibility of us becoming superpowers, weren't you kidding?"

"Of course it's not a joke."

Luo Shu smiled brilliantly, then used his mental power to attract the free ether particles in the air and let them flow into the mineral water bottle.

The ice spell is activated here.

Reina Hamasaki looked at the 1L bottle of mineral water on the table. In just a few tens of seconds, it completed the transformation from liquid water to solid ice. The bursts of cold air emitted at this time were even more overwhelming, and her eyes widened.

"Reina, you mentioned magic just now, right? Actually, I do know a little bit of magic."

As soon as Luo Shu finished speaking, the three women in the living room suddenly stopped breathing.

The three women witnessed this situation that was beyond their comprehension happening right before their eyes, and they were so shocked that they could not be more shocked.

Even though Kurumizaka Ruri thought she had made some mental preparations, when a dreamlike scene that violated common sense of physics really appeared before her, she still felt her breathing quicken and her heart beat faster.

"Now you understand whether I am joking or not."

Luo Shu looked at the three women, stunned, and stretched out his hand, waving it in front of them. "Hey, you guys have come back to your senses. If you still don't believe it, you can go up and touch it.

By the way, let me make it clear in advance that I haven’t made any preparations in advance. If you still don’t believe me, I can just take the trouble to demonstrate it to you a few more times.

By the way, the name of this magic is Freezing Spell. As the name suggests, it can freeze water into ice in a very short time. Within a range of fifty meters, it can cause penetrating wounds, lacerations, and severe frostbite to the human body.

Of course, the freezing technique should be very practical in the summer, and it will not be impossible to make ice cream directly with your hands.

If I think about it carefully, if I learn this freezing technique, it will be much easier to make freezing points in my life."

Listening to Luo Shu's talk, the three women looked at each other in silence for a moment.

They had watched some anime adapted from light novels about other worlds when they were in junior high school, but the fact that the magic in the anime actually appeared in reality, a development that went beyond common sense, still made them lose their minds for a while.

"incredible."

Hamasaki Reina was stunned for a long moment before she came to her senses. She still asked in a tone of disbelief, "Is this really not a magic trick?"

"No." Sasaki Setsuna recovered from her shock. She bravely touched the bottle of mineral water and found it was extremely cold. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Reina, this is really frozen."

"Actually, this is just the most basic application of the ice technique."

Luo Shu said this, and then saw that Kurumizaka Liuli didn't say a word. He felt a little strange, "Liuli, don't you want to ask something?"

"Shu Jun, I have so many questions."

When Kurumizaka Ruri heard Luo Shu's question, she calmed her breathing.

Immediately, she suddenly thought of the changes that had occurred in her body before.

"It doesn't matter if you have a lot of questions." Luo Shu smiled and held Kurumizaka Ruri on his lap. "We have plenty of time today anyway."

"I want Ah Shu to hold me, too." Seeing this, Sasaki Setsuna immediately stopped caring about the bottle of iced mineral water. She sat down on Luo Shu's left side and leaned on his shoulder. "Ah Shu, you're too partial."

Reina Hamasaki carefully knocked on the frozen mineral water bottle. She felt the biting coldness within her reach and realized that the scene just now was not an illusion.

Reina Hamasaki was so curious that she didn't even bother to get close to Luo Shu.

Because she couldn't understand how a 1L bottle of mineral water could be turned into such a huge block of ice in just a dozen seconds.

Kurumizaka Ruri gently turned around and kissed Luo Shu's cheek before formally asking her question.

"Shu Jun, do you really have a way for us to have such super powers?"

"Liuli, you should have felt some changes in your body, right?"

"You mean, because I ate your..."

After all, Kurumizaka Ruri had not yet spoken those words directly and boldly, and a faint blush appeared on her face.

But she suppressed her shyness and continued, "So that's why some changes happened to my body?"

"I can't think of any other more reasonable explanation."

Luo Shu thought for a moment, then pretended to be shocked and asked in a teasing tone,

"Or, Liuli, do you want to say that you've actually been a superpower for a long time?"

"Shu Jun, I'm sure I'm just an ordinary person who occasionally has an interest in the occult. Of course, I've also fantasized about having superpowers one day, but is it really possible?"

"Actually, I'm not sure either." Luo Shu thought seriously for a while, then saw the three women looking at him with disappointment that was hard to conceal. He added unhappily,

"You're disappointed too soon. I'm just not sure if Liuli's situation is just an isolated case. There's no way to confirm whether the changes in her body are a sign that she's beginning to master supernatural powers."

"In that case, why don't we let Setsuna and Reina give it a try as well?"

"Huh?" Sasaki Setsuna was stunned when she heard that, her face slightly flushed. She asked uncertainly, "Ruri, do you mean that you want Reina and I to eat the one at Ashu's too?"

"Yes." Kurumizaka Ruri's expression was serious, but the blush on her face revealed her inner unrest.

"If you, like me, experience some changes in your body after taking what Shu-kun said, I can arrange for a professional medical team to come and assist with medical examinations this afternoon."

"No need to go to such trouble." Luo Shu thought for a moment, "There's no need to hire a medical team, and there's no need to force Xuecai and Reina to do that either.

Even if Liuli's physical changes are indeed due to eating my substance, judging from the fact that you can only slightly feel some unspeakable feelings in your body..."

Luo Shu paused for a moment and gave his own conclusion, "Liuli, let me tell you the conclusion directly. According to my personal judgment, if I want you to fully awaken your qualifications to master superpowers,

I'm afraid, Liuli, you have to be mentally prepared to exchange body fluids with me for a long time. This period may be as short as a few days or as long as several months, because your physical fitness at this time is still far from breaking the limits of the human body.

Even if you start exercising after school starts, when do you think you will be able to have a physique as strong as that of a professional athlete?

"Shu-kun seems anxious?" Hamasaki Reina finally turned her attention away from the frozen mineral water bottle. She keenly noticed that Luo Shu was very impatient. "Can you tell me why?"

Sasaki Setsuna agreed, "Yeah, now that Reina mentioned that, I also feel like you, Shu, seem a little impatient, although I don't mind doing that kind of thing with Shu-kun every day."

"Do you remember last night when I asked Liuli about my desire to purchase high-quality logs?"

Luo Shu thought for a moment and decided to be honest with them about some of the dangers that might exist in this derivative world. "Also, aren't you guys surprised why I went to school alone yesterday afternoon?"

"If Shu-kun wants to buy logs for purposes other than woodcarving practice, then that only means there are other uses for high-quality logs that we're unaware of."

Kurumizaka Ruri thought for a moment, then frowned slightly, recalling Luo Shu's previous request.

"Also, if I remember correctly, Mr. Tree emphasized that yew, osmanthus, and paulownia trees should be given priority, and they must be relatively old."

"Liuli, you have a very good memory."

Luo Shu smiled and gently played with her pink twintails. He did not choose to keep them in suspense, but directly explained to them some of the theories about logs in mysticism.

"In mysticism, the older the log, the longer the protection, damage, curse, and other effects it can produce when made into an amulet. If worn long-term, the effects will last longer and be more effective."

"Ashu, what you mean is that the older the log, the more vigorous the vitality it contains?"

Sasaki Setsuna and Kurumizaka Ruri had been fascinated by the occult for a while back in junior high, so after a moment's hesitation, she offered her own opinion, "Ashu, in occultism, is the vitality inherent in the tree the determining factor in determining the quality of the log?"

"Yes, Xuecai, you guessed it right." Luo Shu gave an affirmative answer, and then said,

"I currently possess the mystical heritage of the Rune, the rune that Odin obtained by sacrificing an eye in Norse mythology.

Although I haven't mastered divine power yet, I can't unleash the full power of the runes.

But with my current knowledge of the occult, I can still make some rune amulets for you to protect against hypnosis and mental suggestion, and to maintain mental clarity."

"Mr. Shu, you bought the logs to make props for us to protect ourselves from hypnosis and mental suggestion?"

Kurumizaka Ruri immediately realized Luo Shu's intention and immediately thought of his behavior of going to Chengshen Academy alone yesterday afternoon. She immediately reacted and asked,

"So, Shu-kun, you didn't go to school yesterday to familiarize yourself with the campus in advance?"

"Well, I was actually preparing to enter the school to scout the area ahead of time." Luo Shu thought for a moment, "Unfortunately, I ran into you guys. In order to avoid your suspicion, I could only find an excuse."

"I see. I thought Shu-kun was really here to take a look at the school's club activities in advance."

Hamasaki Reina was feeling a bit complicated. She asked in a quiet tone, "If that's the case, if Setsuna hadn't approached Shu-kun at that time, wouldn't we have missed out on that opportunity?"

"maybe."

Luo Shu shrugged and gave an ambiguous response.

Of course he wouldn't tell them. When he learned their names in the coffee shop yesterday morning and confirmed their identities at the gate of Chengshen Academy in the afternoon, there was no way he would give up such an opportunity to get closer to them.

"This is probably fate."

Sasaki Setsuna's eyes lit up. Compared to super powers or something, she cared more about meeting Luo Shu. "Ashu, maybe the fate between us is really destined by God."

"Okay, stop interrupting me. Where was I just now?"

Luo Shu smiled and gently kissed Sasaki Setsuna's cheek, then brought the topic back to the popular science of the mystical theory related to logs.

"Well, now I think about it, I just mentioned the vitality of the logs, which is related to the final effect of items like the Rune Amulet that I can make.

Don't ask me why I focus on preventing hypnosis and mental suggestion, because I really don't know how to explain it to you. After all, I don't know if you are mentally prepared to step into the mysterious world.

Luo Shu's tone became very serious and earnest when he said this, "In fact, the ice spell I just demonstrated is the power of the mysterious side. You can simply understand it as magic.

When I just woke up and was chatting with Liuli while lying in bed, I found that the Fuso government, or other countries in this world, probably know more or less some information about the mysterious side world.

Furthermore, the Fuso government is very likely to have secretly established diplomatic ties with the alien visitors. Liuli, let them see your screenshots."

"Does Shu-kun have a computer at home?"

"I bought two laptops. They're in the study across from the bedroom. Go get them."

"Okay." Kurumizaka Ruri got up from Luo Shu's legs and walked quickly towards the study.

Hamasaki Reina took advantage of the moment when Sasaki Setsuna didn't react and calmly sat on his lap. "Shu-kun, are you worried that we might be in danger after school starts?"

"Ah."

Luo Shu did not deny it. He smiled and gently nuzzled Hamasaki Reina's pink face. After rubbing her ears for a while, he said,

"After all, if visitors from another world really send a diplomatic mission to contact the Fuso Ministry of Education, Bunkyo District is the educational administrative district with the largest number of universities in Fuso.

Whether it is for the purpose of effective communication between the forces to which the alien visitors belong and the Fuso government, or for political considerations to deepen the trust between the two sides.

For visitors from other worlds, starting with understanding the education sector in Fusang is undoubtedly the best way for them to obtain relevant information about Fusang, a country that also belongs to another world."

"Visitors from another world have contacted the Fuso Ministry of Education?" Hamasaki Reina was a little surprised. "Shu-kun, what's going on here?"

"Liuli saw this information this morning on an online forum she frequently browses."

Luo Shu also felt that all this was too much of a coincidence. He said with a hint of melancholy, "I originally thought it was just some silly discussion thread posted by netizens, but considering the Ministry of Education's announcement this morning regarding the dismissal of some relevant staff, the authenticity of the post is still questionable."

"Sorry for the long wait." Kurumizaka Ruri also took over the two laptops, turned them on, and skillfully imported the photos from her mobile phone into the computer.

"Look, this is the online discussion thread and photo I captured this morning."

Kurumizaka Ruri slid lightly on the touchpad of her laptop and clicked on the only photo in the post. "This is the photo that came with that post."

"Why are the pixels so blurry?" Sasaki Setsuna and Hamasaki Reina had worked as print models, so they had some basic photography knowledge. "And this angle doesn't look like a normal shot, does it?"

"Yukina, besides the pixels in the photo, the shooting angle is a bit off, and the subject in this photo is really weird."

Hamasaki Reina leaned forward slightly. Luo Shu was worried that she would fall, so he quickly held her waist and said unhappily, "Be careful."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Sasaki Setsuna focused her attention on the subject of the photo. "Why does the person in the photo look a bit like the elves in light novels and anime?"

"Isn't this cosplay?" Hamasaki Reina couldn't help but complain, "Shu-kun, you and Liuli don't think that the poster of this post is really an internal staff member of the Ministry of Education, right?"

"Reina, I know it's hard for you to believe." Luo Shu didn't rush to explain, but said to Kurumizaka Ruri, "Ruri, show them the announcement issued by the Ministry of Education this morning."

"The announcement on the official website has been deleted."
