The ITEM Four no longer want to go back
After Li Yu infused Jibril with magic to restore her, she exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Now I can fight without restraint! I'll find Master to restore me when I'm turned into a loli again!"
She was happiest that Li Yu possessed this power. Although their recovery abilities were already quite good, their speed was still not enough compared to Li Yu's recovery ability.
Upon hearing Little Jibril's words, Li Yu slapped her on the forehead and said, "Don't think about such things. Instead of waiting for me to help you recover, you should focus on managing your Reserve Mana Source!"
They're really good at taking shortcuts. You know, Li Yu had already stuffed the True Magic he created, the Reserve Mana Source, into the library, but Jibril and the others still haven't mastered it.
He's clearly blinded by other True Magic and wants to solve his magic shortage problem. Shouldn't he be studying that True Magic properly? Instead, he's thinking of using Li Yu as a "refueling station" (a metaphor for someone who provides magical energy).
That sounds nice, but Li Yu refused. Once or twice would be fine, but if it happened more often, Li Yu wouldn't be happy. If they had such thoughts, then they might as well just stay as little girls from now on.
Jibril was somewhat disappointed after being rejected. It seemed her hopes had been dashed, which made Jibril feel a little regretful. She couldn't help but say, "I'm already learning that True Magic, but it's a bit difficult!"
They naturally took the True Magic seriously, but the sheer number of True Magic libraries Li Yu brought in was too tempting, so they couldn't finish it in a short time.
"Whatever, if you don't want to turn into children again in the future, then study that True Magic properly." Li Yu was too lazy to say anything more to her and turned to restore the other Flügel that had turned into lolis.
After dealing with the situation of these guys, Li Yu returned to his residence and got busy. After arranging everything that hadn't been set up, Li Yu took a nice bath.
The things on Abant are actually quite good. Things like drinking water are naturally available, but they are produced through True Magic, which is why the Flügel can obtain such a comfortable environment here.
Li Yu lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. With a thought, the room instantly became transparent, allowing him to see the Milky Way and the beautiful scenery of space.
Since Abant was already 10,000 meters in the air, and Li Yu was able to perfectly control everything about Abant, it wasn't actually that difficult to do this.
Looking at the beautiful scenery before him, Li Yu took out his phone, snapped a photo, and posted it in the group chat, saying, "Tsk tsk, living on Abant is actually quite nice."
There aren't many people in the group right now, since everyone just got home and is chatting with their families or eating. But some people still check the group immediately, like Xia Yu!
Xia Yu: [Holy crap, you can do that? (><)]
Li Yu: [That's right, I just discovered it too, @Nangong Natsuki (homeroom teacher), Natsuki-chan, please have someone come and renovate for us soon!!]
Although I tagged Nangong Natsuki Nangong Natsuki hasn't replied yet. She'll probably reply to my message once she sees it.
After chatting with everyone in the group, Li Yu lay down to rest. The next day, many people came back, and the construction team that Li Yu had requested also arrived and began to renovate Abant's place.
The Flügel also knew about this, so they didn't cause any trouble. Instead, they stayed in the library reading books and took the opportunity to extract knowledge from Index's mind.
After assessing the situation, Li Yu returned to the Boundary Island. He hadn't forgotten that the people from the A Certain Magical Index were still learning here, so now that he was back, he decided to check on them.
Today is Saturday, and there are no classes. Mugino Shizuri and the others are strolling around the streets. Over this period of time, they have gradually become familiar with the situation in this world.
They also learned a lot of information online and were amazed by everything about this world. They also learned about the matter of talent.
People from other worlds rarely possess innate talents, but these women have. These talents are their superpowers, but those developed in this way are extremely rare in this world; their potential is simply too low.
Especially Frenda Seivelun, who has talent but doesn't know how to develop it, turning herself into someone without abilities. Now that she knows these things, Frenda Seivelun no longer wants to go back.
She even had an urge to bring her younger sister along, because this world was just too amazing. If she studied hard in this world, she might become a powerful figure.
As someone working in the Dark Organization, she was well aware of how important strength was. Surviving in the Dark Organization despite being a powerless individual was a skill in itself, and it was precisely because of this that she needed immense strength even more.
Having walked on thin ice for so long, Frenda Seivelun has finally found a way to reach the other side. So she wants to become stronger in this world and then return with her newfound power to amaze her sister.
Others thought the same way to some extent. Since they couldn't go back, they might as well study hard in this world. If this happened in their world, countless people would want this opportunity but wouldn't have it.
They've completely come to terms with it now. If they can't resist, they might as well enjoy it. There's nothing shameful about it. So what if they're cooperating with that guy in his experiments? They've been guinea pigs before in Academy City.
At least they are safe now, and they seem to be enjoying themselves. Anyway, they don't want to go back.
When Li Yu found them, the four of them were enjoying coffee from another world in a coffee shop on the street corner, all with contented expressions on their faces.
"It seems like we're running out of money. We can't keep spending so recklessly. If we continue like this, we won't have money for food, and there's nowhere to find work. We can't exactly go to the suburbs to earn money, can we? That's illegal!" Frenda Seivelun looked at the balance on her phone with a headache.
They were drawn to all sorts of things in this world, and the small amount of money Li Yu initially sponsored them was almost gone.
"Tsk tsk, I never thought you could be so depraved, that you would even have such thoughts?" Just as Frenda Seivelun finished speaking, a voice that terrified them to the core rang out.
Li Yu had appeared beside them without them noticing. When Frenda Seivelun saw Li Yu's handsome face, she instantly cowered. Kinuhata Saiai and Takitsubo Rikou also trembled.
Clearly, they were somewhat afraid of Li Yu, who had brought them to this world. Only Mugino Shizuri; she frowned, looked at Li Yu, put down her coffee, and asked, "Did you come to see us for something?"
Li Yu dumped them here and then ignored them. Now that he's come knocking on their door, she absolutely doesn't believe him if he says nothing's wrong.
"I just came to see how you are doing in this world. You seem to have gotten used to it, and you must have mastered quite a bit of True Magic by now, right? Is there anything wrong with you?" Li Yu nudged Frenda Seivelun to move closer, then sat down next to her.
Frenda Seivelun, sitting to the side, didn't dare to speak at all. She could only listen quietly to Li Yu and Mugino Shizuri's conversation, afraid that Li Yu would notice her and make her do something outrageous.
"No, I actually feel great. Also, I have a question: why is the talent in this world superpowers?" Mugino Shizuri looked at Li Yu and asked the question that had been on his mind.
The more she learned about the talents of this world, the more she realized that these talents were actually superpowers. But why did these talents awaken naturally in this world, while in their world they had to be developed?
"Those who know, know; those who don't, I won't explain. Just know that these two are the same thing." Li Yu had no intention of explaining to them.
When Mugino Shizuri heard Li Yu say this, she understood that the other party didn't want to tell her these things at all. Perhaps there was something she didn't know?
"Since you're all alright, I'm relieved. Now, focus on getting stronger. As for making money?"
"You can research this newly emerging profession, Gourmet Hunter, when the time comes. Anyway, I won't restrict your activities." Li Yu smiled as he said this.
I gave the money once and that was it; I won't give it again. No, that money wasn't from him either; it was from Principal Hu. But these guys are big spenders; they spend money fast.
So Li Yu kindly pointed out a way for them to make money: become a gourmet hunter. This profession has just appeared, and making money is quite easy.
After all, their world has a huge shortage of ingredients, so they probably need a lot of people to go to the Gourmet World to catch ingredients. These guys can also make money by going there.
Hearing Li Yu's suggestion, Mugino Shizuri nodded. After thinking for a moment, she continued, "When can we go back?"
Compared to these things, she was more concerned about this. She needed an answer. Even if Li Yu wouldn't let them go back, he should at least tell them, right? He couldn't just leave it like this forever; it was incredibly painful.
"Don't think about going back for now. Let's talk about it after things are over on your side. I estimate that there will be a world-ending battle in your world in a while. You'll actually be safer here!" Li Yu glanced at them quietly and then said something that sent chills down their spines.
A world-ending war? At this moment, the four of them were instantly furious. Frenda Seivelun grabbed Li Yu and said, "Are you kidding? Really? Can you let me go back? My sister is still over there!!"
Frenda Seivelun panicked. While the world was safe, she still had her sister. If anything happened to her sister, she... she would never forgive herself. Not knowing was one thing, but knowing and being unable to help her sister was catastrophic!
