Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

He walked into the house and closed the door.

"Teacher, I'm curious why you choose to stay in this city." Takson's heart was full of doubts, because before this, his teacher had never done such a thing.

"Because in the past, even if there were creatures or demons nearby that might endanger civilians, you would always choose to attack directly without wasting any time."

Looking at those curious eyes, Xiuer naturally understood the doubts in the other person's heart.

He did not choose to hide it and told Takson the reason directly.

"[Speculation] This city will be completely destroyed by the demon invasion in the near future. The chances of any survivors are extremely small."

"Ah!? Isn't this serious?!"

Takson did not doubt whether what Shule said was false or not. He had said before that he had absolute trust in his teacher's words.

The previous doubts were not about questioning Xiuer, but just curiosity about why the other party did this.

"[Conclusion] So I chose to stay and help this city fight the crisis."

"So that's it."

Only then did Takson understand his teacher's intention. Because of his personal experience, he also knew what would happen if the demons really invaded the city.

I had already communicated with various people in the food street yesterday, and judging from the expressions on the faces of passers-by, I could tell that apart from those petty thieves, this city is still a relatively prosperous one.

If such a city were to turn into a hell on earth, Takson couldn't even imagine it!

Looking at the determined look in his apprentice's eyes at that moment, and the malice towards the demons that overflowed from time to time.

Xiuer also understood his apprentice's character. He would behave like this whenever there was anything related to the demons.

"[Additional] The number of demons this time will be greater than the one that attacked your hometown."

"Really? Looks like we have to notify the city lord and the garrison."

Tuckson pinched his chin and began to think about his next plan.

However, the next second, he received a denial from Xuer.

"[Negative] There is no point in informing the city lord and the defenders."

"Huh? Why?"

Takson didn't understand why the teacher chose not to tell the city lord and the defenders about such an important matter.

In response, Xiuer just looked at him and began to explain.

"[Proof] We are just strangers to the people of this city, and even more so than commoners compared to a noble like the city lord."

"[Speculation] If we actually inform the city lord of this information, then according to calculations, there's only a 1% chance that he'll believe it."

After hearing this, Takson showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and finally understood why his teacher made such a choice.

Although he himself trusts the teacher very much, others do not.

He understood that the teacher's personality was one of efficiency and he would not do meaningless things, but he did not think so in his heart. If possible, he still wanted to inform the city lord and the defenders.

After all, it's better to be on guard.

"【Conclusion】We don't need to notify them. We just need to stop the demons outside the city walls at a distance where the defenders can observe them. This will also alert the town's defenders."

If other people heard this, they might wonder how Xuer could stop the demons alone.

But Takson knew very well how powerful his teacher was, so he believed in it without a doubt. In his opinion, his angel teacher was heaven.

As long as the teacher takes action, everything will be fine.

However, although Xuer has clearly pointed out that notifying others will not have any effect, Takson feels that it is better to remind them anyway.

"[Reminder] No matter what you do, I won't interfere, as long as you don't regret it."

Xuer's words made Takson, who was in a hurry to leave, stop.

"Ahaha, I really can't hide it from you, teacher. Thank you for your understanding. I'll be back soon."

He touched the back of his head embarrassedly, then said goodbye to Xiuer and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

After seeing off his cheap apprentice, Xiuer turned around again and looked at the little things in his hands.

......

......

Drop drop drop  …

As the light next to the button on the device flickered, a golden portal opened in front of Volame the next second.

The little girl's eyes widened for a moment, and her jaw, which she forgot to close, showed that she was quite shocked.

Then, two figures walked out.

Volame recognized the two people, who came were Shul and Takson.

The strange thing is that Tuxon's expression looks like he has been wronged.

After seeing who was coming, the former ran towards Xiuer happily, and his posture seemed as if he was going to hug the other's waist directly.

Takson didn't stop him, Shul didn't dodge, and Volame didn't really want to hug him.

Finally, it stopped in front of the other person, its eyes sparkling and looking very curious.

"Sister Xiuer, what kind of magic is this? It feels so powerful."

Xiuer had no explanation for this question and he did not choose to answer it.

"[Question] What do you want from me?"

While questioning the other party, Xiuer also detected and scanned the surroundings the moment he walked out of the "door".

Then he discovered that this was a suburb near the city. Judging from the environment, it was probably because adventurers and guards often came back to clean up.

There are no traces of monsters nearby.

Choosing this place, it seems that this kid, Volame, understands a little bit.

"Didn't you, Sister Xiuer, say, 'Press this button if you want to see me'?"

"I have not forgotten this agreement."

"That's all right, come with me and I'll show you a nice place."

As he said this, Volame wanted to pull Xiuer's hand, as if he wanted to take him somewhere.

Takson, who was standing aside, remained silent the whole time, just quietly watching his teacher and Volame interact with each other.

Finally, under the leadership of Volame, Shul and his group passed through the dense jungle and came to an area with a pond.

Volame took Shuul to the flowers growing beside the pond.

After realizing that he had nothing to do, Takson started his daily exercise on his own.

Xiuer looked at the girl who was making a wreath with grass and flowers. The girl's sincere smile made him puzzled.

Do you consider yourself a friend so soon?

So Volame was like this when he was little...

"[Question] Volame..."

"Well, what's up, Sister Xiuer?"

Volame stopped what she was doing and turned her head, and then she saw it.

There was no emotion in it, only a cold look.

But she was not afraid, because although Sister Xiuer gave people the first impression of being difficult to approach and very cold.

But during the chat that afternoon, she felt that this beautiful sister was not as cold as she seemed.

After seeing the other person turn around, Xuer said the rest of the words.

"Do you like [magic]?"

......

Chapter 24: Tuxon's Worries

"Wow, look at Sister Xiuer!"

A small fireball was floating on the palm of Volame's hand.

She happily dragged it in front of Xiuer, like a student wanting to be praised.

There was a faint fluorescence in Xiuer's eyes, but Volame was so happy that he didn't notice it.

"[Affirmation] Your proficiency in Fireball Magic has reached the standard. You have successfully mastered this magic."

Hearing Xiuer's praise, Volame's heart was filled with joy.

Although in the past, when she was at home, her parents would teach her about magic, and they also taught her her favorite magic - "the magic of creating a flower field".

This also gave Volame a basic interest and liking for "magic" from then on.

"[Affirmation] Volame, you have a high talent for magic. In the future, you will become an excellent magician."

This is not Shul's way of explaining the future based on the records.

Instead, it was based on the intelligence obtained through careful observation and scanning of Volame over the past few months, and the conclusion drawn based on his own standards.

I have to say that Volame is really amazing. He has shown some talent even in his childhood.

Because of her passion for magic, she learns very quickly.

When it comes to magic, there's no doubt that she's a genius!

And Volame's parents also agreed to let her go out and learn magic from others. Since her parents agreed, Xuer didn't care.

He chose to stay just to save the residents of this city, and teaching Volame magic was just a matter of convenience.

Anyway, being with Volame didn't affect his schedule.

As for why Xiuer chose to stay and save these strangers who had no relatives or friends?

Although he always responds to strangers with an indifferent attitude, he doesn't seem to want to get involved in too much interpersonal communication.

But in fact, if he meets someone who can be rescued easily, he will not be stingy with his strength and will lend a hand.

Just like in the previous world, every time Xuer fought with the elves, he would avoid harming innocent people.

As for the [magic] taught to Volame, most of them were grimoires that Shul had obtained through various means before, most of which were taken out of Takson's backpack.

When Volame learns this, Shuul will ask her to return it to Taksen.

Some of the magic books that were recorded as electronic documents earlier were also "printed" by Shuul, and these books will be directly given to Volame.

To be honest, Xuul didn't actually teach Volame how to use magic. In the past few months, he simply threw a magic book to him and let him learn by himself.

So when he saw that the other party was able to learn a magic spell quickly, he couldn't help but sigh at the other party's powerful talent.

On this point, it is common to see Takson, returning from training, expressing his envy of Volame's magical talent.

Well, there is no jealousy, because Tuckson himself understands that people are different.

He also had no complaints about his teacher taking the magic book from him to teach Volame.

After all, he could only learn a little bit of magic that could serve as an auxiliary.

Well, no complaints at all...

One day, after Xiuer finished his teaching task for the day and checked the situation around the city.

In the hotel restaurant, Tuckson was eating the food on his plate while glancing at Shule intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiuer was leaning against the window, looking as if he was in a daze.

But Takson knew what the other party was doing. According to the teacher, this was to monitor the situation outside the city at all times.

Because the teacher once said that she didn't know when the demons would attack the city, so she could only use this method to ensure safety.

"Volamei is really hardworking."

I don’t know whether it was intentional or not.

Today, Tucson, unusually, started a conversation while eating!
