Gods' Gathering?

Upon hearing Shizuka Hiratsuka's words, Nangong Natsuki thoughtfully replied, "I heard that his talent is learning-related; he can basically learn something after being taught only once?"

Nangong Natsuki suddenly brought up this matter, Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded and said, "It's like this, does Teacher Nangong want to teach him a few moves?"

As she spoke, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Nangong Natsuki. Did Nangong Natsuki have some thoughts about Li Yu? Was she planning to teach him a few skills or something?

"I do have that plan, I'll give it a try first." Nangong Natsuki nodded, then strode forward to Li Yu.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, while Yor followed immediately, as she was also very interested in Li Yu's learning talent.

Nangong Natsuki walked up to Li Yu, which puzzled Li Yu a little, but he quickly dismissed it. Nangong Natsuki said directly, "I'll teach you a True Magic. Come and learn it."

Hearing Nangong Natsuki's words, Li Yu became interested and said, "Please, Teacher Nangong, teach me!"

To utter even a single word of "no" would be disrespectful to Space Magic. Remember, this is a noble branch of magic; someone is willing to teach you, so why aren't you seizing the opportunity to learn?

"Then watch carefully, Space Magic is actually very simple. As long as your spatial awareness is good, you can learn it. First, you need to construct a Magic Array..." Nangong Natsuki began to explain to Li Yu step by step.

Even if Nangong Natsuki hadn't mentioned it, Li Yu would have known this knowledge already. However, in order not to be too shocking, Li Yu pretended to listen seriously.

What Nangong Natsuki said left Asuna and the others, who had just snapped out of their meditation, completely bewildered, because they couldn't understand a word she said; it was like listening to gibberish.

"Did you understand?" After explaining the operating logic of Space Magic, Nangong Natsuki asked Li Yu. If he still didn't understand, then there was no need for her to continue.

"Understood!" Li Yu nodded, confirming that she understood everything. Seeing this, Nangong Natsuki's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and she continued to teach.

Nangong Natsuki released a purple Magic Array beneath herself and then said, "This Magic Array is released like this... After it's released, it connects to another location and then teleports you there."

The True Magic that Nangong Natsuki taught Li Yu this time was actually just an intermediate-level Teleportation. After it was released, her figure appeared on the other side the next moment.

Distance is calculated based on the distance you can perceive, which requires the assistance of Perception Magic. Of course, it would be even better if you had perception abilities yourself.

Nangong Natsuki Teleportation away and then Teleportation back. She looked at Li Yu and said, "How was it? How much have you learned? Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."

Li Yu nodded, then said, "Have you roughly learned it? Let me try it out first."

After saying that, to Nangong Natsuki's astonishment, Li Yu began to try it out. A purple True Magic circle slowly formed under his feet. Nangong Natsuki, watching this scene, was shocked.

He actually used it? At this moment, Nangong Natsuki finally understood why Hiratsuka Shizuka said this guy was outrageous; such talent... was simply terrifying.

After the Magic Array was released, Li Yu instantly appeared on the other side through his senses. He didn't teleport too far, after all, if you're going to put on a show, you can't be too shocking.

Li Yu teleported there instantly, then teleported back instantly. Seeing this, Nangong Natsuki slowly came to her senses and immediately said, "I'll teach you other Space Magic!"

Without hesitation, Nangong Natsuki began explaining to Li Yu all the other intermediate-level Space Magic that Li Yu could currently control at this First Tier.

Actually, there aren't that many skills. Besides Space Teleportation, there's only Space Lockdown and spatial barrier.

The remaining Space Magic is all advanced, beyond Li Yu's ability to learn. This is why Space Magic is so difficult to master; after all, the starting point is intermediate level, which is extremely challenging.

Nangong Natsuki taught Li Yu all three Space Magic at once, and after seeing that he had truly mastered them all, she couldn't help but exclaim, "What an outrageous talent!"

She considered herself quite talented, but compared to this guy in front of her, she was nothing. It had taken her several months to learn these few True Magic back then.

So what about Li Yu now? Li Yu learned it after just one lesson. If it weren't for Li Yu's unfamiliarity with the material, she would have suspected that Li Yu had practiced before, because it was just too outrageous.

"Alright, that's enough for now. I'll teach you the rest once you reach Fifth Tier and can cast advanced True Magic." Nangong Natsuki suppressed her shock and then went over to call for everyone to gather.

Now it's time to get started. She has nothing more to teach Li Yu; the rest can wait until Li Yu is strong enough.

Honestly, Li Yu's current strength and abilities are simply beyond belief. Who else at the fourth rank has mastered so much True Magic?

"Get ready, everyone, we're setting off!" Nangong Natsuki called out to the students. Now that everyone had recovered, it was time for them to embark on their journey to Orario.

Hearing Nangong Natsuki's words, everyone quickly packed up and gathered together. Nangong Natsuki checked the number of people and, finding no problems, said, "You can set off now. See that tall tower? Go there yourselves!"

After saying that, she turned around and pointed to the tall tower in the distance, telling everyone that her destination was there, and that they would obviously not continue to follow her for the rest of the journey.

"Teachers, aren't you coming with us?" Xia Yu understood Nangong Natsuki's meaning and hurriedly asked. Were they planning to go by themselves?

"Yes, you'll have to walk the path from here on out yourselves. This includes how to form your Familia and how to survive in that city. Our task is simply to get you here; the rest is up to you." Nangong Natsuki said these words without any mercy.

They weren't nannies, so they had no obligation to lead everyone in and help them get a foothold. What happened next was up to Li Yu and the others.

Hearing Nangong Natsuki's words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to do. Nangong Natsuki didn't explain much. After saying this, she released a Space Magic and disappeared with the teachers.

Only the students and Hestia remained. They exchanged glances, then all looked at Li Yu, since it had been said before that Li Yu was their person in charge in this world.

"Let's go into the city first, and then... Hestia, I'll need your help with the registration process for becoming a member of the Familia. You know far more about this world than we do." Li Yu made the decision instantly.

Hearing Li Yu say this, Hestia patted her large chest and assured him, "Leave it to me. Let's go into the city first, then I'll register my Familia, and then I'll go find my friend!"

Now that we're back here, we've finally arrived at her territory. And with so many people who came with her, she naturally has to treat them well—it's what a God should do!

After making the decision, Hestia went ahead to lead the way, and Li Yu and the others followed. Under Hestia's guidance, the group headed towards the city.

Li Yu and his group moved quickly, arriving at the outskirts of Orario in just over an hour. Entering through the city wall, the first thing they saw was a variety of dilapidated houses.

Seeing the scene, everyone's gaze turned to Hestia, with Xia Yu bluntly exclaiming, "This is another world? It looks like a refugee camp!"

"Good heavens, this place is way too dilapidated!" Hestia immediately explained, "This is just the outer area; there's basically no one living here."

"So this is a refugee camp then?!" What else could a place with no one living in it be but a refugee camp? Hestia couldn't refute this statement.

That seems to be how it is here, since that's the path they've chosen. But it's okay, once we go inside, everyone will see the real Orario.

Hestia led the group forward, passing through a cluster of dilapidated houses. Finally, people began to appear around them, and Li Yu and his group naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Many people looked at the group with surprise, after all, their clothes were too conspicuous and out of place in this world. In their eyes, the clothes worn by Li Yu and the others looked very expensive.

As they moved forward, more and more people appeared, and the group looked around with curiosity, filled with wonder at everything around them. All they saw were various single-story houses.

The tallest building was the Babel Tower; the rest were two or three stories high, and some of the passageways were incredibly narrow. As more and more people gathered around, a pungent, unpleasant smell began to fill the air.

The various flavors mixed together caused the people from the modern world to change their expressions, and they all quickened their pace to leave the area.

This world is in the Middle Ages, so you can imagine how unsanitary the conditions are. It would be a miracle if the food in a place like this, which is similar to a slum, was good; the smell was simply intoxicating.

Once they left the area, the air didn't smell so bad anymore, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As they continued towards the tower, the number of people around them increased.

All sorts of animal-eared girls began to appear before the crowd. Seeing these animal-eared girls, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment; there were just too many races in this world.

"So many animal-eared girls, and I think there are even elves?" The group whispered among themselves as they moved forward. This world had so many races; it could definitely satisfy everyone's fantasies.

They even saw some women wearing sexy stockings... and overheard information about red-light districts, which excited many teenagers.

Wow, is there really such a good thing in this world? This is too amazing! The girls naturally looked down on the boys' discussion; was this all these guys were interested in?

Asuna's gaze fell on Li Yu, and when she found that Li Yu was not interested in these things, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Yu was different from those guys.

Li Yu and the others were so eye-catching that Hestia had to quicken her pace, and she also put on a haughty demeanor to maintain her divine dignity.

Hestia, accompanied by a group of people, naturally made it clear to everyone that she was a God, leading many to speculate whether another God had descended to the mortal realm.

And this God even brought her own Familia? Is Orario about to welcome a powerful Familia? Many people couldn't help but speculate.

"Huh? Shorty?" Just as Hestia was leading the group forward with an air of aloofness, someone suddenly shouted that. Upon hearing that familiar voice, veins bulged on Hestia's forehead.

She stopped and glared at the source of the voice. Seeing the annoying figure, Hestia retorted without hesitation, "Flat-chested! It really is you, you nasty bastard!"

The one who called Hestia "shorty" was a red-haired, squinty-eyed, flat-chested woman, who was none other than Loki, Hestia's nemesis. Now that Loki was sure it was Hestia, a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.

She truly hadn't expected that Hestia would descend to the mortal realm and even form Familia. How interesting! Although she thought this to herself, she wouldn't say it aloud.

"I thought it was someone so ostentatious, but it turns out it's you, little dwarf. Did you not want to stay in Heaven, so you came down here?" Loki walked up to Hestia with a smile.

At this moment, Loki was followed by two girls: one was a brown-haired elf girl in white stockings, and the other was a blonde, emotionless girl wearing armor.

Lefiya and Ais? Li Yu recognized the two instantly. While Li Yu was observing them, the two were also observing Li Yu and his group.

As a seasoned Swordsman, she could naturally sense the general strength of the group before her; each of them seemed to be about the same strength as Lefiya beside her.

The man in the lead seems to be stronger? And Ais even sensed a threat from him? This is really strange...

Besides that, the only other person who caught her attention was Asuna. Asuna reminded her of herself, and Asuna also wielded a rapier... just like her? She really wanted to have a go at it.

After observing Ais for a while, Li Yu figured out her strength. Fifth Tier, does that correspond to Iv5? Their stats were indeed based on their strength.

As both sides were observing each other, Kato Megumi suddenly tugged at Li Yu and said, "Aren't we going to do anything? They're about to start a fight."

Upon hearing Kato Megumi's words, Li Yu withdrew his gaze and turned back to Hestia, Hestia was now locked in a power struggle with Loki.

Seeing the two of them like this, Li Yu was speechless. He stepped forward and grabbed Hestia by the back of her collar, saying, "Hurry up and lead the way. Get this done, and then we need to find a place to stay. Now is not the time for you to argue. You can argue however you want after we're done."

Hearing Li Yu's words, Hestia snorted coldly, then said to Loki, "I'll let you go for now. Just wait, I'll deal with you after I've finished my business!"

After Hestia finished speaking, she glared fiercely at the guy. Li Yu was right; they had things to do, not time to fool around with this guy.

She struggled free from Li Yu's grasp and continued towards the Babel Tower. Before leaving, Hestia gave Loki a quick peck.

Loki was so enraged he wanted to rush at Hestia and fight her to the death, but Ais and Lefiya held him back. However, she yelled at Hestia, "Hestia, if you're so capable, come to the Gods' Gathering in three days!!"

Hestia snorted coldly upon hearing this, then said without turning her head, "Fine, go then. Just wait, I'll deal with you later!"

After saying that, Hestia left with Li Yu others without looking back. Actually, she was quite happy. She had just returned and run into someone she knew... even though he was an annoying guy!
