Chapter 428: The Principals Arrival (2/2)

”Well then, I'm aware of what you ask of me. Have you decided where to go?”

”Yes, father. Hiroda, Sunohara, Akamine, Chiba and Iida's Otherworlds.” Yuko answered as she listed the surnames of the five Heroes registered in my Support List.

Perhaps if we could finish easily, we might be able to move on and close another batch of Otherworlds. However, that still depended on whether the Dark World denizens in those worlds wouldn't have a Rank 2 Transcendent in their lineup.

”Five worlds at once. Alright.”

Although his reaction appeared to be normal. I sensed some slight surprise in the way he gripped his cane. Like before, he probably failed to predict that we would be able to gather this many Transcendents. Especially when more than half of them were my Companions.

His eyes naturally scanned through everyone and when he fixed his gaze towards Irja, the slits of his eyes narrowed slightly.

Nonetheless, he didn't voice out his opinions about her. Even though seeing a Dark World denizen here should be surprising for him, seeing Irja sticking close to me should be enough for him to guess the reason.

As he said, his Clairvoyance wasn't omnipotent. Although he appeared all-knowing, he couldn't predict everything, especially when it didn't concern himself. He was probably even unaware of what I've gone through in the Dark World.

”Little girl. How was your father?” When his eyes stopped on Zerina, the words that came out of his mouth surprised the girl.

And when I looked at her expression, she appeared to have remembered something.

”Y-you. You're my father's guest at that time. The time he picked up the Orb.”

I see. This just proved that theory about someone setting up the Orbs to be at the hand of my reincarnated Companions…

And as if he was deliberately proving that theory, after greeting Zerina and asking about his father who had gone missing, he moved on to Avelin, Jayna, Nysia and lastly Sofiel.

For Avelin, he seemed to be an old Barbarian that passed by when she found the Orb of Reinforcement.

For Jayna, he's a mysterious man who visited her father the day she picked up the Orb of Ailment.

For Nysia, he's that Fortuneteller who told her about her destined man's arrival in 10 years. Moreover, upon seeing him this time, she remembered that old worker at that Outsourced Regenium Purifying Factory where she was working as a child. The one who handed the bulk of regenium ores where she found the Orb of Protection.

For Sofiel, it's already too obvious that he's the one who helped her establish the Great Protector Church.

”Principal, it seems that you're aware of them before even meeting me… Should I attribute that to your Clairvoyance?”

Upon hearing my words, his gaze switched back to me as he responded with a meaningful smile.

”I know you won't answer me so stop being mysterious. By the way, how's Earth and my parents?”

”Earth… It's still manageable but I still need you to go back in a week. I will be picking you all up. You can bring anyone you like. And as for your parents… they're safe inside the Academy.”

I see. So he's unaware that Yuko already told me about his relationship with my father. Being old friends. It could be translated to being a fellow living fossil from the previous civilization.

Well, in any case, until my father confirmed it to me, I would give him the benefit of the doubt. No matter what, what I felt from him and my mother is genuine familial love.

They might not be my top priority, however, they're still higher than any world that needed saving.

”I see. Before opening the Portals to the worlds Yuko mentioned, can I ask for a favor? Can you also open the Portals to the previous four worlds we've gone through?”

Since he's already here. Let's exploit his convenient ability to travel from every Mortal World.

This way, my Companions who still hadn't used the slot from their Flux Energy state could assimilate their suitable Source Energy and Pathways.

Yumiko needed to go to the World of Meta to assimilate the Meta Energy and awaken an ability related to her Spirit Channeling.

Sofiel and Fleur needed to go to the World of Spirits to assimilate the Spirit Energy that would help them in their current Transcendent Pathway. As for their 3rd Source Energy, it's already up to them which to pick

Nysia also needed to go to the World of Barbarian to complete her three Source Energy types. Since she's always at the forefront, with Physique-type Pathway, she could now tank more even without her Sanguine Aegis.

Zerina, Avelin, Jayna, Irja, Reinys, Caila, Leianne, Elise, Lunaria and Dannae also needed to fill up their Source Energy slots. New pathways will surely raise their prowess.

Ah. Ophelia and Lexie could also use this chance to assimilate to two new Source Energy types.

This sly old man is already here anyway, why not exploit his skill to the fullest?
