"Of course," Mayuzumi answered. "I think that Ice And Fire Sensei has great potential as a manga artist. I look forward to seeing your work in the future."
"Thank you so much! I'll do my best. "Genji's eyes lit up.
"No need to be so polite with me. Just be casual."
"Okay, Amami-sensei."
Seeing this scene, Seiji couldn't help but imagine what kind of manga Yukari, who was an ero artist, would create after learning from Peach-sensei?
… Don't tell me she's a prostitute or a Spirit Eater?
That was possible!
Seiji was filled with anticipation as he imagined such a scene in his mind.
'Cough, let's not get too distracted. '
After introducing Feng Wu to Mayuzumi, Seiji stood up and faced everyone.
"Now that everyone's here, allow me to say a few words." He paused for a moment.
"Basically, I already said everything that needed to be said when I invited everyone to join.
"Right here, right now, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has joined our team!
"From now on, we're all companions. I hope that everyone can get along well.
"As a newbie Yin Yang Master, I'll do my best to do what I should in the future. Please support me."
Everyone applauded after he finished speaking.
Although he gave a serious speech, Seiji felt rather embarrassed when he saw everyone applauding. He felt like his speech was too...
Perhaps it would be better to act like a chuunibyou?
No, no, that would be even more embarrassing.
"This humble one recommends that we officially name our team the 'True Knight Order'!"
Tomohisa immediately made a chuunibyou suggestion.
"Kagura-san is the 'Knight of Zero,' Peach-sensei … Amami-sensei is the 'Divine Knight!' As for everyone else, how about we use the name of the knight order? "
Everyone was rendered speechless.
"Considering that it might be difficult to use our real names in the future, we indeed need code names," Seiji said. "But we don't have to use this name; we can think of something new."
"This humble one feels that this is quite appropriate!" Tomohisa strongly supported this idea.
"One vote in favor of the knight order name. If anyone else agrees, raise your hand. "Seiji scanned the crowd.
Little Shi and Hoshi were the first to raise their hands, followed by Genji and Mika.
Five votes, a majority in favor.
Dai raised her hand next.
"I don't mind using 'Knight', but I don't want to be called 'God's Knight'." She smiled bitterly.
"How about the 'Ninth Knight'?"
"This is fine."
"Then it's settled. Our team's name is the 'True Knight Order.' Little Shi is the 'Zero Knight,' Tomohisa is the 'First Knight,' Genji is the 'Second Knight,' Hoshi is the 'Fourth Knight,' Mika is the 'Sixth Knight,' Juumonji-sensei is the 'Seventh Knight,' and Peach-sensei is the 'Ninth Knight.'
The titles were not coherent, but that did not matter. After all, they were just codenames.
Although it sounded a little chuunibyou, imagining the scene of the party members announcing their code names in certain situations seemed pretty cool!
Seiji had already imagined such a scene before, and now his imagination was gradually becoming a reality.
Feng Wu raised her hand.
"I have an issue with this. Seiji calls Brother Tomohisa and everyone else by their names, but he calls me 'Juumonji-sensei.' I'm quite dissatisfied with this." She pursed her lips and pretended to be displeased.
"Because you're a school teacher …"
"That's not important. I'm now your close companion, so please call me by my name!" Feng Wu strongly insisted.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I also want Haruta-kun to call me by my name," Dai spoke up in a soft voice as something flashed in her eyes.
Apart from Shika Kagura, everyone was astonished to hear the manga author's words!
"Sensei …" Seiji looked at Dai in a daze.
"Because just as Juumonji-san said, we're already Haruta-kun's companions, so we should address each other more intimately." Dai did her best to remain calm, but the slight blush on her face betrayed her true feelings.
Tomohisa adjusted his eyeglasses, causing them to flash violently.
Hoshi, Genji, and Mika all widened their eyes in surprise. Different expressions appeared on their faces.
Feng Wu soon regained her composure after her initial surprise.
Calling each other by their names was a very reasonable reason.
Seiji couldn't think of anything to counter this … besides, was there a need to?
Since it was reasonable, he might as well go along with it.
"Alright … since Juumonji-sensei and Peach-sensei have such requests, I'll directly call both of you by your names." He paused for a moment as he looked at both of them. "Feng Wu … Dai."
Even though he did his best to remain calm, his heart couldn't help but speed up.
The blonde teacher and the manga author both smiled.
…
Everyone ate lunch together and chatted as they ate. It was a delightful time.
In the end, Seiji paid the bill, and everyone left the restaurant and went home.
That was the end of the first general meeting. Although it was a Spiritual Ability user group meeting, it seemed no different from an offline gathering.
Still, this was no ordinary offline gathering. This was just the beginning.
What he needed to do next was to go to a Spirit World!
Seiji intended to first explore the Spirit World together with Little Shi. He would bring everyone else along after familiarizing himself with the environment.
But before that, he still needed some time to rest and ensure that his Spiritual Power had completely stabilized. Not only that, Little Shi also needed to practice and improve her condition in order to better fight.
According to Hana's information, a new phenomenon had recently appeared in a Spirit World — a "Dimensional Eye."
A "Dimensional Eye" was a mysterious black oval with a red circle inside. Since it appeared as if an eye had opened, it was called a "Dimensional Eye."
Any Spiritual Ability user that encountered a Dimensional Eye would instantly be sucked into another dimension. This dimension was also a Spirit World, but the environment was different from the outside world. That was why this dimension was called an "Inner World."
The Spiritual Ability users in an Inner World were all active monsters that had a strong tendency to attack. Not only that, there would definitely be powerful Spiritual Ability users that could pose a threat!
Defeating all powerful Spiritual Ability users would allow them to leave the Inner World.
If more than two Spiritual Ability users were sucked into an Inner World, then if one of them died, everyone else would be able to escape.
Apart from the two methods mentioned above, there were no other ways to escape.
On the other hand, if all the powerful creatures were defeated, the strength of everyone involved would increase by different degrees! This was not the case for Death Escape.
The appearance of the world eye could not be predicted. Once it appeared, the people around it would definitely be sucked into the Inner World. After being sucked into the Inner World, they would be unable to contact the outside world, and the outside world would not be able to contact those who had been sucked into the Inner World.
To sum it up, it was like a cultivation checkpoint that could cost him his life.
Seiji's thoughts were that the sandbox game had an additional instance dungeon. However, there was no treasure drop. Bad review!
Maybe there would be in the future?
Spirit Realms were also unknown to the abnormal domain. Nobody knew what changes would happen in the future … No, perhaps someone knew.
How much do the members of the Soul World know about the Spirit World? Did they create the Spiritual Realm? The Dimensional Eye phenomenon was actually their update patch?
