Please stop persecuting your students!

Even though they had anticipated this and had been warned by Saki, the moment they actually stepped into this city that belonged to 'humans', they still felt... lost.

Mainly the eight chosen children and the nine people on the Astra.

It has been nearly a month since they left proper human society. For a modern person/future person, this time is really too long. Even when they saw this medieval human town that seemed to exist only in historical documents, they still could not control the anticipation in their hearts as if a spoonful of boiling oil was poured on them.

They have been away from human society for too long, so long that they have been dreaming about tomorrow almost every day... no, they want to wake up in the next second and return to the same environment as before. This is a small but unrealistic wish. So much so that the slightest thing that has anything to do with human society will cause them to be emotionally moved...

Then wake up from the dream.

Clothes they had never seen before, strange patterns on their faces that seemed to have only been seen in magazines and on the Internet, a pair of furry animal ears that were several times smaller than those of their classmates, unfamiliar words posted on the walls and bulletin boards... Everything that existed in this town was calmly explaining the fact that this was indeed not the human society they wanted to return to.

Negative emotions enveloped half of the tour group. Standing on the edge of the dark cloud, Taiyi, who was holding his sister in one hand and Ballmon in the other, opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself from speaking.

He had to say something, something to cheer everyone up, but what should he say? He was as eager to return to his original world as anyone in the team, and he was as disappointed as anyone else. So what could he say to persuade his friends?

Just when Taiyi was struggling, a big hand suddenly rested on his shoulder. He looked up subconsciously and saw a big hedgehog head grinning at him:

"Are you worried, Taichi?"

"a little--"

"Oh~ You can't say that."

Kanat knocked on the smaller hedgehog's head casually, and the words he had not yet said returned to his stomach. He looked at the group of people in front of him, and the smile on his face faded a lot.

"As your senior in life, I'll teach you something useful... Actually, this is what my teacher taught me."

"what?"

Kanat looked up at the fantastic and magnificent sea of ​​clouds and the mountain-like head called Guraalus. His mind instantly returned to that rainy night several years ago. He leaned over to the little hedgehog's ear, lowered his voice, and said in a voice that Yagami Hikaru couldn't hear:

“When you are desperate and in trouble...be strong.”

For two teams in similar predicaments, his and Taiyi's positions in the team are surprisingly similar.

They are spiritual leaders, spiritual pillars, and occasionally they have to act as psychologists... Although it is a bit unfair, since they have these responsibilities, people like them must never fall down.

They cannot cry, complain or vent. As the spiritual pillars, if they show their weak side, the spirit of the entire team is likely to collapse on the spot. Even if they are extremely desperate and want to give up on themselves and run naked around the spaceship waiting to die, they still cannot do that.

So what to do?

Of course, as he said, being strong is not being strong. Empty support is meaningless. You must be mentally prepared for the high probability of struggling to death, and hold on with the spirit of "Don't lose to me, me!" as if you are competing with yourself!

Patting the little hedgehog-headed boy's shoulder again, Kanat stepped forward, then pointed suddenly at the sea of ​​clouds on the side, and pointed at an Arus spaceship that was moving further and further away and let out a strange cry.

"Ah! The whale is flying in the sky!!!"

"What nonsense is this guy talking about? How can a whale... really fly in the sky?!"

"Really?!"

"It's hard to understand what kind of power..."

With the help of students who also reacted and assisted Kanat in inducing the group, the low pressure hanging over the group of people gradually dissipated. Taiyi stared at the boy who secretly turned his head and gave him a thumbs up. A hint of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, an orange light flashed on his chest, and the ball beast in his arms twisted restlessly.

The teachers who had been watching the whole process calmly watched the scene, some smiled, some nodded slightly. Mellove also watched the whole process, and when she saw the teachers' reaction, her eyes were filled with emotion.

Volume 602 Return to the Netherworld, the Day the World Was Saved: Chapter Chapter Materialism

After some minor setbacks, with the help of the local leader, Melefu, the group successfully arrived at the lower level of the residential area, where the port of Gula was located. When Melefu sent someone to request the transport ship, the group of people in the sightseeing group looked at the huge ships of different appearances docked on the shore and sighed like bumpkins:

“It’s really flying!”

"Whale...whale...whale...oh?! That dragon with three pairs of wings over there is so cool!"

"Really! The style of painting feels completely different!"

Obviously, all the other spaceships are similar, some are fatter and some are longer, whale-shaped Arus, but the spaceship at the end of the port is completely white with colorful wing membranes. The two are like a non-paying player who has just started night travel and a rich player who has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy big wings that flutter. The styles are completely different.

After Melve left to dispatch people to sail the boat, Kagutsuchi, who was left behind to take care of the children, glanced over there and his closed eyelids twitched slightly.

"That is Arcadia's ship, and Saint Fang Le Noren... the ship you call Xia."

"Ah this..."

So it's an enemy ship?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they had only heard half of it yesterday, they still had a general understanding that they were in a hostile relationship with the country called Arcadia. The other side seemed to be the kind of evil party that would use brutal means to control people's hearts, especially the one called McPenny who was extremely evil.

But that was all he knew. Saki had no intention of involving them. A general understanding was enough.

Although they didn't know the details, since the hostile stance was there, a group of students no longer paid attention to the Saint's vehicle that had been docked in Gula for almost half a month, and instead looked at the three people, one big and two small, who were standing at the guardrail and watching a small Arus.

"How can such a large body, with all the weight underneath, fly? Is it hollow inside?"

After failing to scan the other party with the Divine Plan, Guangzilang, the smallest of the three, had no choice but to scan the other party's appearance with the camera. Amid the roar of the built-in radiator of the laptop computer, a whale beast made up of countless grids gradually took shape.

You can never imagine what this laptop, which belonged to the 1990s for Saki and Miyu, has experienced.

After being transformed from the Digital World, the Underworld (Tiger), and Astra (Zach), the performance of this computer from the last century has completely surpassed the level that its hardware can achieve. With only a modified optical sensor and a childlike processor, it completed the appearance modeling of an unknown creature. Modern modelers would shed tears of envy when they see this performance.

Although for Zack and his team, this is just one of the basic functions of the latest style of space suit after docking with the personal terminal.

While thinking, the white-haired boy leaning over to the side of the screen frowned, did some simple mental calculations, and shook his head and said:

"Not enough. Even if the inside is hollow like a balloon, it can't provide enough buoyancy to support a spacecraft, not to mention..."

As he spoke, Zack glanced at the Arcadia transport ship in the distance. Even if the hollow interior of the whale-shaped Arus could barely provide enough buoyancy, the slender six-winged glazed flying dragon would never have the same possibility.

As for the wings... they didn't think that level of flapping frequency could provide the buoyancy to move such a huge body and the cabin hanging below.

At this time, on the other side of Koshiro, a little girl who was slightly taller than him took out a stylus and touched the screen lightly, enlarging the side of the Arus model and focusing on the small wings slowly flapping on its side. The tip of the stylus lightly touched the wing membrane covered with cuticle.

"Here, there is a lot of energy being released."

"Eh? Can you see that, Sakutsuki-san?"

"No."

The black-haired girl shook her head. Her delicate face, which seemed to have been carefully carved yet completely solidified, showed no excessive emotional fluctuations as always. She just calmly explained:

“But I can roughly feel something.”

Zack, who was standing next to him, touched his collar when he heard that, and a helmet with a built-in HUD display quickly appeared. After adjusting the sampling object and observing it repeatedly several times, he finally got the result.

"Indeed, the sensors detected a particular change in air pressure beneath the wing."

"As for the energy itself, it should be the energy that the people in this place call ether, right?"

"That should be it."

"Well, speaking of ether..."

Among the students who had been listening for a while, Luca from the Astra raised his hand and asked a less critical question:

"I remember that the power furnace used by spacecraft is also called ether furnace? Is there any connection between the two?"

spacecraft...

Taichi and the others' mouths twitched at the same time, and Miyu's eyebrows twitched slightly. Although it was not the first time she heard this word, from a modern person's perspective, it still felt a little difficult to adapt.

Especially the latter, as a serious modern person of the 21st century, and the one with the highest level of knowledge among the modern people present, it is precisely because of this that he feels even more headache when he hears things like "20,000 times beam-like curvature navigation", "ship-borne anti-gravity device", and "semi-perpetual motion ether furnace" - are those things of yours really scientific? Why do I think they are things from science fiction novels?

But this thing is "real" to them now, and not the wild imagination of writers, which gives this girl with an extremely realistic train of thought a headache.

Even though it's a headache, some things still need to be said.

"In my world, the magic in the atmosphere seems to be called 'ether', and there are also heroic spirits..."

Miyu tilted her head, and Red Enma, Chiron, and Jeanne all nodded. Chiron, who was fond of teaching, took the lead in explaining:

"The spiritual foundation that constitutes the Heroic Spirit Realm is also essentially a high-density etheric body."

"Emmmmmm......"

A group of people looked at each other, and it was Zack who pushed up his glasses and broke the silence.

"At least one thing is certain: these three types of ether simply have the same name, but they are not the same thing in essence."

"True, but it still sounds weird. The energy used on the spacecraft is everywhere."

"Can there be anything so strange as this?"

Kanat made a move with his hand, and a screw that had fallen from somewhere on the ground floated up and fell into his hand. As a materialistic boy who grew up in a world with highly developed technology, his face was full of awkwardness as if his worldview had been challenged.

Volume 603 Return to the Netherworld, the Day of Saving the World: Chapter Chapter The Gray Witch → (The Gray Witch)

Ah this...

A group of people raised their hands upon seeing this, and the pale blue mist swirling in their palms was clearly visible.

The threshold for getting started with spiritual power is extremely low, it can be said that almost anyone... well, any living thing can get started. Putting aside the divine power, the last batch of students who enrolled collectively - that is, Kanat and his group have been enrolled for almost two weeks. They have already got started and passed the first stage of accumulating spiritual power. They have more or less accumulated nearly a hundred units of spiritual power and can already perform some special operations such as telekinesis and strengthening physical fitness.

Considering that they only need to accumulate spiritual power step by step, not only will the effects of these basic abilities increase, but they can also light up the magic taught by teacher Irena one by one, they seem to have gradually deviated from the definition of "ordinary people". Compared with this, what does it matter if it is just a simple noun that is heavy?

What's more, they were already influenced by Tianshen Primary School during the communication process. They completed the translation and understanding directly in their minds without learning other world languages. It was normal for them to subconsciously link the name of a certain thing in the strange and unknown prophecy with something they were familiar with during the process of converting it.

Even Rika Furute, who has remained silent so far, also has her own understanding of ether - a theory that even she knows has been eliminated by the scientific community in her era. Did you see her speak? No.

The topic came to an end, but for a group of new students, they obviously had no shortage of new topics. Aries, who had been listening in a daze before, suddenly waved her hand, attracted everyone's attention, and proposed a new topic.

“Is it really appropriate for us to talk about these things so carelessly here?”

Kanat looked around and saw no Gula people passing by. He laughed heartily and said:

"It's okay~ There's no outsider here~"

"No? Kanat."

"Is it possible?"

The confused young man stared at the pair of beautiful green and yellow eyes like a Persian cat for a while, and suddenly he cried out, and everyone's eyes turned to one direction, the woman wearing a long orchid dress with a very wide collar, wrists like colored glass, and a blue flame burning on her head.

Kagutsuchi: “…”

Did you finally remember me?

This group of people really talked for a long time without thinking. She clearly didn't have that intention but was inexplicably fed a lot of information and didn't know what to say.

The most important thing is that if it was just ordinary information, it would be fine, but most of the information revealed by this group of people is terrifying when you think about it carefully, such as this world, my world, spaceships... Anyone who thinks about it carefully will feel that the temperature of the fire above his head has dropped suddenly. Kagutsuchi even felt that he was about to be silenced, so these people spoke so unscrupulously.

However, being stared at by more than twenty pairs of eyes, before she could make any statement, a group of students turned their eyes away and looked at each other again. A certain Ms. Furute made a meow and opened the show with a cute gesture as usual.

"I think Kagutsuchi doesn't need to worry."

"Indeed, no matter what, Kagutsuchi and Melev are our partners."

"It's obviously temporary?"

Uruk sneered, put his hands in his pockets, and touched something. Then Kanat took a step forward and put his arm around his shoulders. He said seriously:

"Even if it's temporary, it's still a partner."

"...Okay, okay, I get it. Anyway, the teachers will cover you if anything goes wrong. Please stay away from me!"

"Don't be so reserved~"

"Tsk! Let go!"

"My spiritual power is not enough, whoever has more spiritual power can come and mute me."

"Let me do it."

After the brief interruption, everyone gathered behind the three college tyrants and watched them perform their mysterious and powerful operations. Especially after Miyu followed the instructions and made a medium-range sound-proofing spell, the area around them became completely quiet. The sound of their communication was completely blocked by the invisible light shield, and not a single sound was revealed.

"...I think I understand a little bit now."

Kagutsuchi's eyelids, which had been closed for many years, opened slightly and looked at the group of students who were communicating closely with the three of them as the core. He seemed to understand something vaguely.

The next moment, a breeze blew overhead, and everyone, including Red Yama and others who were waiting quietly nearby, looked up. They saw a gray-haired witch sitting on a broom, spinning from the residential area directly to the bottom floor where everyone was. There were several bags hanging on the head of the broom. She was happily eating half a pizza and even had the mind to wave to the group of people.

"I'm back~ The bread here tastes really good~"

"..."

The beautiful girl who fell from the sky and was still eating was not the main point. The main point was that as she descended, the residents of Torig Town, who were clinging to the guardrails and focused their eyes on her, emerged from nowhere on both sides of the residential area of ​​Torig Town. Seeing that the residential area on the other side suddenly had several rows of black heads, everyone's mouth twitched at the same time, especially Kagutsuchi, whose two orchid flames on his head instantly jumped a little.

CNM is on fire!

She thought this group of people were fairly well-behaved and wouldn't do anything unnecessary to attract attention, but the result was, well, damn, damn.

They walked around Torig town three times but still couldn't attract as much attention as you alone!

Red Yama glanced at the crowd on the other side, then looked at Irena's bag of food, raised his bright red eyebrows slightly, and asked crisply:
