Chapter 83

A suffocating, despairing rain, like divine punishment, fell from the dim, lightless sky.

She was like an angel fallen to earth; her bright golden hair was soaked by the torrential rain, and her beautiful lake-blue eyes became empty and lifeless. The powerlessness, weakness, and pain she felt made it seem as if she would die at any moment.

Not far from her, there were many dark figures holding weapons.

But just then, a figure appeared in her field of vision.

The empty, lifeless blue eyes stared blankly at the figure.

Her flawless, pure white hair was tied into a braid, and her azure eyes seemed to faintly reflect the stars.

With a pretty, delicate face, a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, and a mocking look in her azure eyes as she looked at those armed men.

Her body was slender and thin, almost like a woman's.

Although he wasn't tall and imposing, nor did he have a resolute face, seeing him made her feel incredibly at ease. Her empty, lifeless eyes regained some color, and the corners of her downturned mouth lifted slightly.

——

"Clang!"

A knock on the door interrupted her reverie.

"Please come in!"

An elegant and melodious voice came from her mouth.

"Miss, it's time. We should set off now."

"Okay, let's go then."

She picked up a document from the table.

Then he left the office with his entourage.

I could vaguely make out two names in her file.

Claudia Enfield... and

... Luo Mio.

——

I walked out of the school gate and stepped into a luxury car.

Then it drove off into the distance.

Not far from the school gate, two figures saw her and asked in confusion.

"Where is Claudia going?"

A girl with gorgeous long pink hair, like Princess, spoke.

"I don't know..."

A man who appeared to be extremely gentle spoke beside her.

The girl with long pink hair pondered for a moment and looked at the screen hanging on a tall building not far away.

"Could it be... related to that matter?"

"That matter...?"

"Ah..." The pink-haired girl realized what was happening and immediately said, "Ayato, you're a transfer student, so you didn't know."

The girl's gaze turned to the school behind her.

"The Warship City Asterisk... welcomes its seventh academy today!"

Upon hearing the girl's words, the boy named Ayato paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something.

"Could it be..."

A symbol appeared in Ayato's mind.

It's very simple, but it's a logo that will leave a lasting impression at first glance.

Golden diamond patterns that shimmer like stars!

——

In the darkness, consciousness is slowly awakening...

Her azure eyes slowly opened.

A slightly futuristic, unfamiliar ceiling.

He sat up in bed.

Her slightly empty, azure eyes stared blankly at her own hands.

"Ah!"

A voice rang out.

Looking up, he saw a delicate, angelic-looking purple-haired girl standing in the doorway, looking at him.

Then the purple-haired girl ran over quickly and said in a clear and pleasant voice.

"You're awake, bro!"

With the girl's clear, crisp cry.

His empty, azure eyes gradually brightened, and his consciousness slowly returned.

"... null?"

That's right, sitting on the bed, it was Luo Mio who had just woken up.

When he regained consciousness, he looked at the familiar purple-haired girl with a bit of disbelief.

What are you doing here?

"Hehe..." Kong laughed happily.

"It seems you have fully awakened."

Just then, another voice came from the doorway.

Fu Hua, who should only exist in the Consciousness Space, appeared in the real world.

"... teacher?!"

One surprise after another left Luo Mio completely bewildered.

Fu Hua smiled as she looked at the bewildered Luo Mio.

"Get up first, let's go outside and explain."

Luo Mio then got up, and Kong led her by the hand out of the room.

Stepping outside, you'll see a luxurious living room with a slightly futuristic feel.

Then Luo Mio saw a symbol that looked like a school emblem.

A shimmering gold diamond logo.

"Mio, sit down."

Fu Hua sat on the sofa and spoke to Luo Mio.

After glancing at the logo, Luo Mio sat down on the sofa opposite Fu Hua.

He then eagerly asked Fu Hua.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

As if knowing Luo Mio would ask this, Fu Hua smiled gently.

"If it's empty, it's the same situation as when I entered the Chivalry of a Failed Knight World with you before."

"With you..." Luo Mio was taken aback.

"Could it be... that... little gift bag?!"

Luo Mio looked at Kong, who was holding her arm, in shock.

"So, what about your current body...?"

Seeing Luo Mio's expression, Kong also smiled innocently and brightly.

"It's the real body!"

"Not long after Ed and I returned to Edelberg, I received a message from the system saying that I could travel to other worlds with you, so here I am."

Upon hearing Kong's explanation, Luo Mio couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The system has really done a good thing.

Then, as if remembering something, Luo Mio asked her, "Aren't you afraid Miss Edelweiss will worry if you disappear like this?"

After eleven years together, Edelweiss had long considered Kong Kong as his family.

Now that Kong has left without saying goodbye, Luo Mio is afraid...

Kong shook her head and said crisply, "When I received the system message, I had already explained everything to Edward, and then I left that world under her watchful gaze."

"Is that so...?"

Seeing Kong say this, Luo Mio breathed a sigh of relief.

After learning why Kong had followed him to this world, Luo Mio looked at Fu Hua.

"Then... teacher, you..."

Emptiness is the true form, which is why it can manifest in reality, but Fu Hua only has consciousness following Luo Mio.

Seeing Luo Mio's puzzled look, Fu Hua spoke gently.

"My body, that's a long story."

Her crimson eyes were fixed on Luo Mio.

"Before I talk about my body, Mio, I have a question for you."

Do you know about Omni-Ore and Omni-Crystal?

Upon hearing Fu Hua's two words, Luo Mio was taken aback for a moment, and then spoke.

"Know..."

Before she could finish saying "Ah," Luo Mio suddenly stared blankly at Fu Hua.

Then he asked in surprise.

"Is this world... Warship City?!"

Fu Hua nodded slightly after hearing this.

"Right."

Fu Hua then stood up.

"And we are now in the ' Warship City Asterisk!"

Suddenly, the window and the floor beneath Luo Mio's feet disappeared from her sight.

Luo Mio watched this scene in utter shock.

"Here it is...!"

Not far away is a huge island, and around its six sides are six slightly smaller islands that seem to surround the central island.

Like a six-pointed star.

All seven islands boast high-tech, modern scenery.

The island in the middle, in particular, is like a steel forest, with endless skyscrapers standing tall.

This is the aquatic academy Warship City known as the "Astenisk"!

Luo Mio stared blankly at this scene.

Suddenly, her azure eyes blinked.

"... We're... we're in the air, aren't we?!"

He turned his head and looked at Fu Hua, asking in confusion.
