Through the system on the spacecraft, they learned a cruel fact:
They were not sent to the sky above the planet Makeba as they had thought, but to an unregistered cold planet 5,000 light years away, outside the star field that humans had explored. The only supplies on the spacecraft were the camping food brought by the students who were rescued in a panic, which could only guarantee three days of food and drinking water for all the crew members - the latter was the key.
Even though the spaceships in this world can fly at terrifying speeds, it would still take three months to travel 5,000 light years even if they fly at superluminal speeds the entire distance.
The situation had not changed, except that the death had been extended and the place of death had changed. From a cramped space suit to a spaceship, nothing else had changed.
They just found themselves a bigger and more spacious coffin!
With the cloud of despair hanging over their heads, this new and fragile team was almost torn apart and disbanded on the spot by some minor stimulation, but fortunately they found a second way out.
To be precise, it was a method that the captain (substitute (self-proclaimed)), who had rich experience in distress, suddenly thought of when he was trying to comfort everyone.
If they cannot reach the destination in one breath, then they will split the route into parts and keep moving to planets where they can replenish food and water. As long as they don't stop, they will eventually be able to return to their home planet.
The supplies on hand can only support six days at most. Taking into account the team's physical fitness, the limit will be compressed to three to four days. The water tanks in the spacecraft can only store drinking water for nine people for twenty days. In other words, as long as they can find a planet that can replenish supplies within three to four days of voyage, and then continue to search for planets based on the 20-day voyage, they may be able to return to their home planet!
It just so happened that the genius boy Zach Walker had the "Planet List" in his hand, a gadget that provided an overview of the planets that humans had explored and observed. He eventually successfully found a way back home via five planets, which was also the only way to survive...
"Well..."
Saki chewed quickly, swallowed the thing in his mouth, and commented:
“Isn’t this very capable?”
"The method is simple and crude, but to be able to make such a judgment under such circumstances... that boy named Kanat is quite capable."
Even Guang did not hesitate to express his praise, and gave high praise to the young man who came up with a practical plan in a critical moment. The rest of the people, who had entered the story-listening mode at some point, also nodded and agreed.
There's not much to say about the method, it's simple and crude. Under normal circumstances, a normal person can basically figure it out by thinking about it a few times...but that's under normal circumstances.
Look at what these boys and girls went through? They were traveling happily, but were suddenly attacked and thrown into space. Fortunately, they found the spaceship, but they didn’t have enough supplies and ended up with nothing. Their emotions fluctuated greatly, and the hope they finally got was ruthlessly torn apart. In this situation, it would be a blessing if they didn’t turn against the will and become desperate believers. How could they have the brainpower to think of a solution to the dilemma?
In this situation, it is even more commendable that the boy named Kanat was the first to calm down and comfort his companions, and he also came up with a solution.
Although Funicia didn't think of this, she still nodded and said with a smile:
"Well, the captain is awesome!"
"The 'protagonist' over at Phnisia is very capable. In comparison..."
Saki glanced at Lex suddenly, and seeing the admiration on the boy's face, he could only shake his head slightly.
This guy here is obviously much younger... But it's understandable. There are some "masters" like this who are minors but to some extent more reliable than most adults to lead the team. It's reasonable for Funicia to get a D rating.
But then again...
"So far, things are going pretty well..."
The few of them looked at each other. When Phonicia mentioned that they had finally found a solution and set sail, the expression on her face could not be faked. It was an expression of genuine humor. Then why... did Phonicia cry so hard when she came?
"Funny..."
Saki didn't have the habit of guessing in front of the person concerned. He looked directly at the little girl in front of him and asked softly:
"After we set out...what happened?"
"After departure..."
Phonicia's mood suddenly dropped, Saki raised his eyebrows, and everyone except Nia, Abigail, Tora, and Hana looked over, waiting for the little girl's next words.
......
Astra - that is the name Kanat gave to the spaceship based on a golden slogan "PERASPERA AD ASTRA" hanging in the bridge - on the second day of the superluminal voyage, the students who maintained their original routine gathered in the hall one after another. They stood in pairs, and finally, Kanat, who was promoted to the position of captain because of his outstanding performance yesterday, stepped forward first and looked at the purple-haired boy who summoned everyone to the hall.
Luca Esburkitt was also the first teenager to be swallowed by the ball of light and killed yesterday.
"Luka, why did you ask us to come here..."
"There is something I think it would be better for everyone to know."
The boy's face no longer had the frivolous look of yesterday. He stared at the youngest girl in the crowd with a serious expression and said coldly:
"Little Phonie... I'll still call you that. Yesterday, when we met that ball of light, I heard you say 'teacher', right?"
"Excuse me, what does that mean?"
"Do you know the ball that brought us here?"
Volume 259 begins! Tianshen Primary School: Chapter Chapter Exposed
"At that time, when you saw that strange ball of light, you did say 'teacher'..."
"You...know what that is?"
"Wait! Luca, you are being too arbitrary!"
"That's right, little Fannie is just a child after all!"
Before the others could react, Kanat and Arias were the first to speak up and refute:
"Funny might have misunderstood that it was the assignment made by the teachers, right? Just like we guessed it was a school test yesterday..."
The strange ball of light appeared just after arriving at Makeba. In the universe sent by the ball of light, there was actually an intact spaceship, which was obviously made by humans rather than a so-called alien product. Even the older students had a momentary suspicion that this coincidence might have been deliberately created by the school. The five thousand light years were all tampered information on the spacecraft, just to observe their reactions after encountering emergencies and to grade them... It is better to say that this argument was first proposed by the teenager named Luca. It was also this guy who had come into contact with the ball of light carelessly before, saying things like "natural park" and "school tricks".
Although this argument was rejected by Arias on the grounds that "if Kanat hadn't reminded everyone to wear helmets, half of the people would have suffered irreversible damage the moment they were thrown into the universe, and some would have died. The school can't take such a big risk to conduct a test." However, according to this logic, it is understandable that the younger Phonics regarded this as the teacher's work.
"If that was all, I wouldn't have mentioned it so specifically."
Luca shook his head, staring at the clock, looking a little uneasy. This reaction made him even more suspicious.
"Because of my family, my parents have been training me in certain special directions since I was young. Although I was abandoned for other reasons later, I have at least developed the ability to understand the thoughts of my peers who have not been trained in this area... It's better to say that Funi's expression at that time was too obvious."
"That's not a 'guessing' expression. It's not an expression that says 'what on earth is this thing?' It's an expression that says 'why is this thing here?' Everyone knows the difference between the two, right?"
"I wanted to raise this issue yesterday, but the general (Kanat) had finally calmed down Uruk and Zak, and I didn't want to cause more trouble at that time, so I held back until now, so..."
"Little Fanny, can you answer me, where exactly were you and when did you see that ball of light? What exactly is it? Will it appear again on our way back?"
"These issues concern the lives of everyone on our ship~"
"What you said..."
Hearing the sound, the black-haired boy with a grey knitted hat, who was leaning against the wall with his hands folded and not paying attention to the world, glanced over coldly with dissatisfaction on his face.
"You are very skilled at taking the moral high ground. Is it necessary to do this to a child?"
"But it's the truth, isn't it? Uruk can't be partial."
"...whispering sound!"
Uruk secretly clicked his tongue and turned his head away, but the other girl took up the conversation, staring at Luka with an unhappy look on her face and said:
"I say, there's no point in asking this, right?"
"Ok?"
"what?"
Hearing the familiar voice, the uneasy Phonicia raised her head and looked at the brown-skinned girl who was standing beside her at some point. She was wearing a pink and black space suit and had the same golden hair as her. A hint of joy and excitement flashed in her eyes.
"Kateri..."
The person who suddenly spoke up was not Arias, who had been defending Phonicia from beginning to end, but her nominal sister, Kateri Raffaelli, who had the exact opposite attitude to the former and had been rude to Phonicia for a month, even extremely cold and indifferent.
"Funny is just a child after all. Isn't it normal to see something like this in school or in animations? You can see their expressions. What's wrong with children not being able to hide their thoughts? Or what? Are you wondering if there's something fishy going on with Funy making that ball of light? A ten-year-old girl? She sent nine people to space five thousand light years away in an instant? How could such a thing happen! Are you stupid?"
"Well, I haven't thought of it that way..."
Under Kateri's barrage of questioning, Luca retreated again and again, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. Seeing that a group of people had some blame in their eyes, he couldn't help but look at Kanat, wanting to cry but without tears.
"Am I a bad guy now?"
"Ah, and this is an unprecedented villain who intends to make a ten-year-old child cry, right Arias?"
"I agree!"
"Your definition of the evil party is too shallow!"
Luca complained in dissatisfaction, and the originally solemn atmosphere gradually became cheerful again, but...
Kanat, Luca, and Zach looked at Phonicia, who was still a little uneasy. Seeing that the girl's uneasiness became more obvious as time went by, they all seemed to be thinking about something.
Although they didn't know why Kateri helped Funicia out of the predicament, they all saw clearly Funicia's reaction to Luca's questioning just now. Perhaps Luca's speculation was not wrong. This girl was indeed hiding something from them, and it was something very important.
'and...'
"It seems..."
"It's about time...right?"
The three men looked at each other, and after confirming each other's intentions, they had a rough idea in their minds.
If I'm not mistaken, it's probably around nine o'clock.
As time passed, the three people who were originally in opposition to each other stood on a united front again. When there was one minute left until nine o'clock, Phnisia stood up suddenly. Arias, who was talking to her cordially, subconsciously raised her head and asked:
"Little Fanny?"
"I... need to go to the bathroom."
"Ah~ Then I'll go with you~"
"Woo..."
Fenicia wanted to refuse, but she didn't know where to start. In her dilemma, she could only whimper like a little animal, clutching the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, standing there without saying a word.
She noticed that the captain, who was usually easy to talk to, Luca, who questioned her at the beginning, and Zack, who was very familiar with Kateri, had been paying attention to her since just now, which was why she hadn't taken any action for so long.
By now, there is absolutely nothing we can do.
There is nothing that can be done.
Phonicia silently took a few steps back, stood in an empty space where no one was gathered, closed her eyes under Arias's puzzled gaze, and then...
Nine o'clock sharp!
The dark green wormhole arrived as expected, expanding and contracting rapidly, and Phnicia's figure disappeared without a trace!
The second volume begins! Tianshen Primary School: Chapter 260 Chapter Are you a demon? !
"I see, this is what happened..."
Saki nodded, then frowned and fell into deep thought at Funicia's guilty gaze.
This matter...to be honest, is a bit difficult to deal with.
It's not Phnicia's problem. Even if she was born in such a "future world", Phnicia is just a child after all. Her ability to adapt is naturally not as good as that of an adult. The mistake she made when she first encountered the wormhole is a problem that many adults will make.
For example, if Saki went there instead, he might have blurted out "How come there is a wormhole here?" on the spot... Of course, he is not a vulgar person, so his words would definitely be more elegant, but that is the intention.
The more you know, the more you will be exposed in special circumstances. For example, a time traveler is strolling in a night market in the Taisho era and suddenly runs into Muzan Kibutsuji who is passing by. If he has not read the original work and does not know who this person is, he will naturally not have any reaction. But if he knows that this person is the Demon King, he will definitely have emotional fluctuations, which will lead to him being targeted by this number one boss.
From the perspective of keeping the secret of the time travel and Tianshen Primary School, Phonics has undoubtedly encountered a catastrophic start. Her companions are all older people with greater strength and wisdom than her, and their levels in all aspects, especially intelligence, are described as above average. In this case, her range of action is limited to a small spaceship, and because of her previous unintentional words, she has attracted attention. In this case, even if Phonics can avoid the sight of a group of people at nine o'clock and find a gap to travel through...how many times can she succeed?
Not to mention that once she was sent to Tenjin Elementary School, she would disappear from her original world for an hour and a half. Even if she was not targeted, discovered, and exposed at the beginning, it was only a matter of time. After all, most of her companions were very caring towards the youngest member of the team, and it would be easy for them to discover that Funi was missing.
This is a dead end, even if Saki goes in, it will still be a dead end. The only way to break the deadlock is for him to work harder and raise the mental interference that extends his spiritual power to a higher level. In the end, he can rely on this "evil way" to ensure that what's happening at the school won't be exposed... If he, an adult, is like this, what can we expect from Funicia, who is only half his age?
Fortunately, they are currently separated from their home planet by a sea of stars that is 5,000 light years away. Even if they are exposed, they will only be exposed to these boys and girls who are not even 18 years old. According to Funicia's description, these people seem to be trustworthy, so it is not impossible to tell them part of the truth...
If worst comes to worst, we can always pull them all onto the chariot!
As the saying goes, if you can't beat them, join them. As long as we tie everyone up on this broken ship of Tianshen Primary School, even if they return to their home planet safely, they will surely not be so tactless as to say these things.
But...there are still a few problems here.
First of all, there is the wormhole that transferred a group of students into space. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a simple "cosmic wonder" or "natural phenomenon". Whether it appears suddenly or chases people, it is full of traces of human intervention.
Could it be that someone was planning to kill these students, who were no older than high school students? Was this "assassin" hiding on the planet called Makeba and had already returned to Astra, or... was he among these students? In this case, wouldn't it be like inviting a wolf into the house if Saki accidentally dragged him in? After all, who knows what kind of black technology that world has.
At first, he also doubted how the humans over there could have mastered this wormhole technology, but after carefully recalling the information given by Phonisia, such as the semi-perpetual motion machine, the civilian anti-gravity device, and the outrageous spacecraft that flew 5,000 light years in three months, and the 20,000 times speed of light, it was outrageous to think about it. But with these things as a foundation, it seemed that creating a wormhole was not a big deal.
This is the first question.
Then comes the second problem... the issue of trust. After half a month, this problem is once again placed before Saki. He has to gain the trust of the other eight students through Phonicia - he doesn't ask them to trust 'himself who doesn't know where he is', but at least, they should trust Phonicia so that Phonicia won't get into trouble.
These are the two top issues that Saki has thought of so far. He needs to think about them carefully before making any plans. But not right now, as there are more important things to do...
Pa~pa~
"Okay, go back to your seats. We still have a long time to discuss little Fanny's problem. Now it's time for class."
Saki glanced at his phone - it was 9:08. After eight minutes of hard work, there were still thirty-seven minutes left, which was enough time for him to attend a class.
