The passenger ship had been sailing at sea for a full day.
When Rudeus woke up early in the morning, he found that Talhand and Elinalise were nowhere to be found.
Talhand probably drank himself into a stupor with the passengers on the ship again last night, and is probably fast asleep in some corner right now.
As for Elinalise...
Given her personality, she's probably off to have another "in-depth discussion" with a few men about how life is born.
Eris remained curled up in my arms, quietly enjoying the comfort brought by the healing aura.
In fact, with the capabilities of the System Shop, redeeming a bottle of motion sickness prevention medicine is just a matter of a thought.
But Rudeus didn't.
Because the Eris we know now is completely different from the energetic, tiger-like girl she used to be.
At this moment, she was more like a lazy kitten, nestled obediently in what she considered the safest and most comfortable little nest, her eyes half-closed, letting him hold her.
Rudeus gently stroked her soft red hair, his movements as tender as if he were petting a cat.
As for other places...
It's not that he doesn't want to touch it, but that he can't.
The blue-haired girl standing nearby would occasionally steal a glance in their direction.
Every time her eyes met Rudeus's, she would quickly look away as if startled, her small lips pursed slightly, her expression revealing a hint of unnaturalness.
A subtle awkwardness hung in the air.
To break the silence, Rudeus took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Teacher, I read in your letter that you obtained the inheritance of King Rank water magic in a labyrinth in the Central Continent, and you even successfully learned it. That's incredible."
Uh... um.
Roxy smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"It's just that I was lucky."
"Teacher, this is extraordinary good luck."
Rudeus said with a smile.
"I practically turned the entire maze upside down trying to find a birthday present for Eris, but I didn't find anything at all, not even a hair, let alone any treasure."
"Haha... Is that so..." Roxy laughed awkwardly, her gaze suddenly catching sight of Rujierd in the corner.
"By the way, was that really Superd Tribe? Because... it's completely different from what I imagined..."
"Oh? Him... that was to cover his tracks. You know what would happen if the Superd Tribe were exposed to the world."
"But actually, all the Superd Tribe people are good people; they've been stereotyped."
"I've noticed that recently too, so... you're the one who arranged his current outfit?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty good, right?"
"That's very much your style..."
Roxy's smile was slightly stiff, but her gaze couldn't help but fall on Eris, her eyes filled with a complex expression.
Rudeus knew she must have many questions in her mind.
I'm also hesitating whether or not to tell her everything.
But these kinds of things always need a suitable opportunity.
If everything were revealed now without any prior warning, it would be difficult for anyone to accept.
Just as I was pondering this—
Thump!
A dull thud suddenly came from the bottom of the ship.
The entire passenger ship suddenly began to shake violently.
"Monster!"
"There are monsters in the sea!!"
The crew members' expressions changed drastically, and exclamations of surprise rang out one after another.
The small boats escorting the adventurers immediately changed course and quickly entered combat mode.
Several magicians in robes simultaneously raised their staffs, rapidly chanting incantations as magic power gathered.
The passengers on the passenger ship were already in complete chaos.
Some screamed, some cried out, and some clung tightly to the gunwale, their faces ashen.
Although Roxy was also a little nervous, she still tried her best to remain calm.
Clearly, this wasn't the first time she'd experienced something like this.
Seeing this, Rudeus slowly mobilized the magic power within his body.
The azure magic flowed along the meridians, eventually converging at the center of the forehead.
[ Perception ]
The next moment, everything within a hundred meters of him transformed into a three-dimensional image, clearly appearing in his mind.
Ocean currents, reefs, schools of fish...
And that enormous monster lurking beneath the ship.
Rudeus's lips curled into a slight smile.
" Rudeus..."
Eris, nestled in his arms, gently tugged at his collar and whispered:
"What happened?"
"It's nothing serious."
Rudeus looked down and smiled.
"It's just a slightly larger baby squid."
After saying that, he slowly stood up, holding Eris in his arms.
A surge of magical power lifted his body, and he slowly left the deck, hovering in mid-air.
At that moment, everyone's eyes fell on the figure in mid-air.
What exactly is Genshin Impact, the Primordial God whose legendary tales are told by countless people, preparing to do at this moment?
Nobody knows.
But for some reason, when they looked at the calm figure in mid-air, the fear in their hearts inexplicably dissipated a bit.
The next moment.
Rudeus slowly raised his right hand and gently waved it towards the sea.
boom--!
The calm sea surface suddenly shattered.
With a deafening roar, a gigantic squid monster, tens of meters long, was forcibly pulled from the deep sea by an invisible force.
Its body was covered in slippery black skin, and more than a dozen thick tentacles waved wildly. Its ferocious mouthparts emitted a piercing hiss, making everyone's scalp tingle.
Immediately afterwards.
Rudeus slowly closed his five fingers.
Click--
The enormous monster seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, its body instantly twisting and compressing.
The enormous creature, tens of meters long, was compressed into a ball of flesh several meters in diameter in just a few breaths.
Then, I casually waved my hand.
The ball of flesh streaked across the sky and flew into the distance.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the fleshy ball exploded in the air above the sea, scattering a cloud of blood mist like a bizarre and dazzling crimson firework.
The entire passenger ship fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the sky, speechless for a long time.
What terrifying power this is!
If one hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would believe that someone could so easily annihilate a sea monster capable of destroying an entire passenger ship.
And they.
They are both witnesses to and transmitters of this legend.
After a brief silence.
Suddenly, an excited shout rang out from the crowd.
Primordial God is awesome!
That shout seemed to ignite everyone's emotions.
In an instant, cheers rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire passenger ship.
" Primordial God Genshin!"
"That's incredible!"
We're saved!
The cheers echoed in waves, one louder than the next.
Rudeus looked at the scene before him and nodded in satisfaction.
very good.
This is the effect he wanted.
Calm down.
Install each B.
This guy will be very handsome.
As the magic slowly receded, he landed back on the deck.
Eris, who had been listless just moments before, was now wide awake, wrapping her arms around Rudeus's neck and showering him with praise.
That proud little face made it seem as if she, not Rudeus, was the one who had just Kamui.
" Rudeus..."
Roxy continued to stare blankly at Rudeus, her azure eyes wide open.
"What kind of magic was that just now? I've never seen it before."
"Oh, this."
Rudeus said with a smile.
"It's called Telekinetic Object Manipulation."
"If the teacher is interested, I can teach you when I have time later."
"Huh?!"
Roxy was clearly stunned.
"Really... really?"
"Would you be willing to teach me this almost miraculous magic?"
"Teacher."
Rudeus smiled helplessly.
"Teacher, why are you always so surprised? It's like we're complete strangers."
"But..."
Roxy hesitated and lowered her head.
Are you really okay?
"Of course it's okay."
Rudeus looked at her intently.
"You will always be my most respected teacher."
Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today.
"Besides, this magic isn't anything particularly valuable to me."
Roxy gazed quietly at the young man who had grown up so much, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
The little boy who once needed her to teach him step by step has now grown to a height that she can only look up to.
She sighed softly.
" Rudeus, you've really changed a lot..."
"I don't even know how to face you now... I've become like this."
Rudeus smiled.
"Teacher, please treat me the same way you used to."
No matter what I become, I will always be your student.
"That will never change."
Roxy stared blankly at the familiar smiling face before her.
(Really... can things ever be the same as before?)
She did not answer.
I don't know how to answer.
