Disaster Messengers: More Than Just a Cool Name / Suika's "Originium Arts"
Hearing Suika's words, Silence became somewhat interested. After all, how could an operator conducting related research not care about Originium Arts, which could prevent infection by Originium?
"Dr. Silence is interested in my Originium Memory? Well, that's not exactly a secret, so there's no need to keep it a secret."
If you want to see it, we can go to the training ground this afternoon. We're going there to play anyway.
Suika winked at Ifrit, who immediately understood.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Although she was a little embarrassed, Silence was genuinely curious, so she didn't refuse Suika's suggestion.
Chapter 473 The Catastrophe Messenger is More Than Just a Cool Name
Just as they were eating, Hoshiguma and her group arrived at the restaurant.
"Goodness, I was wondering where you'd been all morning, and I was even about to call you, but look what you've been up to—eating!"
Hoshiguma walked over, politely greeted Silence who clearly looked like a parent, and then reached out to pinch and rub Suika's cheek.
"I didn't slack off and go back to sleep this morning. I spent the whole morning at the school in the Therapy Garden as a storyteller, and Raidian even praised my storytelling."
Suika replied with a grin.
"Your parents?" Ifrit nudged Suika under the table and asked softly.
"My eldest sister..."
"Oh..." Ifrit looked disappointed, thinking the two had something in common, but it turned out they didn't.
"How about we sit down and have a casual meal together?"
Although Suika's voice was soft, Silence heard it and looked at Hoshiguma manner.
"No need, my companion is over there, I just came over to say hello."
Suika can be quite mischievous sometimes, I hope she didn't cause you any trouble.
Seeing that Silence's attitude was quite good, Hoshiguma felt relieved.
Suika isn't a machine she can control. It's a good thing that she has her own friends outside. She only came to check on Suika because she saw Silence wearing a doctor's uniform and was worried that Suika had done something big without her knowledge. Normally, she wouldn't interfere much.
So when they realized it wasn't a bad thing, but rather that someone was thanking Suika for the special blocking medicine she had given them earlier, they didn't linger there any longer.
After finishing their meal, the three of them went outside.
"I'll send a message to the Doctor and ask him to open a private training room. After all, there are too many people in the regular training room, and it would be terrible if someone got hurt by accident."
As Suika spoke, she took out her phone and contacted the Doctor.
After hearing Suika's request, the Doctor said it was no problem. In addition, several caster operators from Rhodes Island were interested in Suika's Originium Arts and asked if they could come and visit. Suika asked Silence about this, and after Himeru said it was no problem, Suika asked the Doctor to make the contact.
Less than a minute later, the person on the other end of the phone had cleared out a fairly large training field.
"I consulted Amiya, and she's arranged for you to be in the largest training room on Rhodes Island. As for the other operators who are interested in your Originium Arts, they'll go there on their own after receiving the message, so you don't need to wait for them."
After telling Suika her location, the Doctor added a sentence.
"It's alright, we just finished eating anyway, we need to rest for a bit." Suika wasn't in a hurry, and neither was Silence beside her. After all, if you're going to observe Originium Arts, you can't just rely on your eyes. She was also contacting Joyce to bring some equipment she brought from Rhine Lab to that training room.
"Should I go back first?" Ifrit asked from the side.
"No need. I can smell the flames on you. It just so happens that part of my Originium Arts is related to high temperatures. You can come and take a look too." Suika stopped Ifrit, who was about to leave.
Ifrit looked at Silence, Silence nodded.
"Of course! Suika Suika's Originium Arts are extremely powerful. It would be great if you could learn even a little from her."
Upon hearing Silence's agreement, Ifrit's face lit up with a bright smile.
The group quickly arrived at the training room that Doctor had mentioned, and when Ifrit opened the door, she exclaimed, "Wow!"
In Rhodes Island, where room resources are extremely scarce, there is a spacious area almost the size of a basketball court, and the room is not the standard three meters high, but a full six meters high, which is a two-story room.
This place might seem small to outsiders, but it's quite large for Rhodes Island.
After surveying the area, Silence went to the entrance to wait for Ptilopsis, Suika and Ifrit found a spot inside and sat down to chat.
"Is Catastrophe Messenger fun? What do you think of me? Do I have the aptitude?" Ifrit stared wide-eyed at Suika.
As a young person, Ifrit was going through a rebellious phase at this time.
The title "Catastrophe Messenger," which sounded so cool, made her somewhat fascinated.
"Catastrophe Messenger are no fun."
First, a qualified Catastrophe Messenger needs to learn professional knowledge in meteorology, biology, various languages, humanities, and other fields.
Then it takes a long time of training and development.
Most Catastrophe Messenger can only accurately observe signs of Catastrophe activity within a fixed area.
These people will generally join various cities as specially hired personnel to monitor the situation and guide the way for the Mobile City's advance. These people are relatively safe.
Another group of people will travel around the world, going to dangerous areas to track down, study, and record natural Catastrophe.
The latter is much more dangerous than the former, because wearing an extra layer of protective clothing and a mask often cannot completely guarantee that a person will not be harmed.
Moreover, the safer the protective suit, the bulkier it is, making it impossible to use normally in various environments.
Therefore, most Catastrophe Messenger have very limited protective conditions and need to be close to the Catastrophe to observe and record it...
After Suika finished speaking, Ifrit nodded as if she understood but not quite.
So you're the second type?
"That's right. Because of my Originium Arts, I can usually escape unscathed from Catastrophe or areas with high Originium concentrations, which is why I have the courage to do this."
Look, these are photos I took during Catastrophe.
Suika took out her phone and showed photos she had taken during the Catastrophe she experienced in Victoria.
Although she had the physical document, it was inconvenient to carry around, so she saved an electronic copy on her phone.
Looking at the pictures on her phone, Ifrit could imagine how terrifying and desperate the situation must have been.
The valley was covered with Originium crystals, so dense that there was nowhere to put your feet. Forget about getting injured, the concentration of Originium dust in the air was so high that just a few breaths could turn a normal person into Infected very quickly.
The fact that Suika could survive in such a terrifying environment, and that she didn't seem to have Oripathy at all, amazed Ifrit. What kind of Originium Arts could achieve such a feat?
Just as the two were chatting, an operator came to the outside of the house, and after exchanging a few words with Silence, came in.
Suika thought to herself, "Wow, these two are big shots!"
First is Li Gousheng, and then there's PITH, the Rhodes Island warlock master.
Needless to say, the former had confidently created an anti -Drink Invitation spell before, only to be plied with alcohol by Suika and left completely drunk. The latter, on the other hand, possesses the ability to imitate various Originium Arts.
Chapter 474 Suika's "Originium Arts"
Suika greeted the two of them, and after waiting for about ten minutes, she saw Bai Gugu arrive at the door with several internal affairs staff pushing several handcarts.
Upon arriving at their destination, the internal affairs officer became much more serious upon seeing that, besides Dr. Silence, the remaining group included two big shots, Logos and Pith.
After helping to set things up, they said goodbye and left the house.
During this time Suika went to change back into her shrine maiden outfit.
As for the reason... her two special spells, Fog Transformation and Shapeshifting, can only be used with her original clothes.
The clothes she bought here didn't have the effect of changing to fit her body shape.
When she forcibly wore the clothes here and transformed into mist, she would hold the clothes above her head with a cloud of mist, and then condense her body in the mist when she transformed back.
And if it gets too big, it's even less suitable to wear.
After all, clothes without magical enhancement cannot change size with anyone. When Suika uses the Three-Step Ruin or even enlargement spell, as long as it exceeds the limit of the clothes she is wearing, it will automatically change her clothes back to their original state.
She changed back into this outfit to avoid any bugs that might occur during the transformation process.
"Wow, you look great in that outfit!" Ifrit exclaimed in surprise. She had only turned her head slightly, how come Suika was suddenly dressed so beautifully?
"The shrine maiden's attire of the Eastern Country... what's the point of you changing into this?" Pith asked from the side.
Suika looked at Logos and said, "Remember when I blocked the High-Speed Battleship Chernobog?"
The logos' eyes gleamed.
"Indeed, you were wearing this outfit back then... so this outfit can be adapted to your body shape?"
Suika nodded
"That's right! Otherwise, losing a set of clothes every time you get into a fight would be a huge loss."
Pith, who overheard their conversation, wrote it down in his notebook.
"Um, how do I do this test?" Suika asked after indicating that she was ready.
"Please give a self-introduction about your Originium Arts first, and then we'll discuss how to conduct the test."
Logos, Silence, and Pith discussed it and then said...
Suika nodded to the four of them.
"My ability, in my view, is a concept, namely, the ability to grasp the Density and Sparsity of all things in the world."
This ability is highly expandable and does not have completely conflicting effects.
I usually categorize it as Gathering and Separation...
"Wait, your ability is to control density?" Pith was somewhat surprised. Suika's spells seemed to be ever-changing, but the result was unexpectedly so simple and unadorned.
"Yes, it is density, but it's density in a conceptual sense!"
The Suika has been corrected.
"What does that mean?" Logos seemed to have realized something.
"Besides the density of matter that can be seen with the naked eye, population density is also a density!"
After Suika said it, Pith said he couldn't understand it at all.
What does human density mean?
Are you suggesting we just mix a bunch of people together?
After thinking for a moment, Suika said, "It's hard to explain, but it's easy to prove."
The weather outside isn't great today; it's drizzling on the deck, so no one will be exercising there. They'll go up to the deck together after the tests are over, and she'll demonstrate it to them, and they'll understand.
Then she began to demonstrate the basic application of the ability.
The first step is to control the Density and Sparsity of one's own actions.
It can make the body harder than steel, or it can turn oneself into a cloud of mist.
These two expansion capabilities alone left the group in awe.
Suika looked at Ifrit and smiled.
"As we all know, when the density of an object increases rapidly, its temperature also rises accordingly, and so on..."
Suika grabbed a piece of iron and placed it in her palm. Soon, the iron turned into a pool of molten iron in front of everyone.
The little dragon's eyes widened. She could sense that the temperature around Suika was extremely high, but she hadn't expected it to reach this level.
In battle against the enemy, whatever this palm strike grabs, it destroys.
If they catch the person...
The four of them couldn't help but shiver.
After Suika and the others had digested their food, they continued.
"If I were to unleash this ability externally, I would typically lock onto a target and set it as the base point to maximize its power."
The two released abilities are Almighty Push, which excludes everything, and Universal Pull, which brings everything together.
Suika pointed to a pile of experimental equipment not far away, then pointed to the top of the equipment.
"For example, right now, I'll set the base point two meters above the prop..."
After saying that, Suika made a grabbing motion in the air.
The props flew up and twisted into a ball in the air, centered on the point they were pointing to.
"The magnitude of the gravitational and repulsive forces is related to my own output. When I exert the maximum output, I can form a small black hole that completely collapses at the target point."
Suika spoke, she used a little force, and all four of them felt as if they were being pulled and pushed towards the base point.
