Chapter 27 - Tortus (2/2)
Wang Lei smiled and hugged her. He took her hand and said, ”Let's go! It's almost time for the portal to emerge!”
Qingyue nodded and happily followed him.

”You should get a life, Nagumo(Hajime)!” Hiyama said, making a mocking face.
Hajime Nagumo who heard him had a troubled expression. He was not good at dealing with Hiyama. He could only stay silent and ignore him.
”OI! Don't ignore me!” Hiyama said, making an annoyed face.
”Don't bully Nagumo-Kun, Daisuke-san!” Kaori said, with hands-on her hip.
”I was not bulling him, Sirasaki-san! I was trying to advise him!” Hiyama said, making a face as if he was wronged.
”Is that right, Nagumo-Kun?” Kaori asked.
Others were looking towards Hajime with annoyance and jealousy.
”You are kind to everyone, Kaori!” Kouki said, oblivious to the situation and interpreting the situation as he liked.
Shizuku could only shake her head at her childhood friend's dumbness.
”Yah! You should not be that worried about this sore loser, Kaori!” Ryutarou said while cleaning his ears with his pinky. He had a physique that is like a bear and he stands tall at about 190 cm. He had short trimmed hair and a gaze that appears both cheerful and stern.
Nagumo, the center of all this was sweating hard. He just wanted to spend his time calmly and peacefully but it was a total mess now.
”Sit down everyone class is about to start!” Aiko Hatayama said. She was a petite woman with dark brown hair and eyes. She was the homeroom teacher of this class.
”Ai-chan-sensei, good morning!” Suzu Taniguchi said, cheerily. Suzu was a very short girl with short hair styled into twin-tails that reaches her shoulders and had light brown eyes.
”Moo~ don't call me that, Suzu-san!” Aiko said, pouting.
”Hahaha!” The whole class was laughing as to how cute she looked.
SFX: Sound of a door sliding
They all looked towards the door and were stunned by the sight they saw. Only one word could describe what they were Seeing-Otherworldly! They saw a boy and a girl, both in their teens, standing at the door. The girl was wearing an ice-colored robe, she looked like a character out of an anime while the boy was wearing a black shirt and pants with black joggers and a long coat that reached his knees. They saw as the boy started to talk with the girl.
”I can feel the interference of energy in this place. The portal will open here!” Wang Lei said, looking around in the class. He checking everyone's faces when his gaze landed on a boy that had black hair, brown eyes, and a slim body type with a kind face. 'Isn't he the protagonist of this world!? Seems like we are in the right place!'
Qingyue who heard him nodded and also tried to feel energy fluctuations. They were training in Primordial Energy that existed before any other energy, so they could pretty much feel any kind of energy fluctuations and use any art. Ever since she has come in this world, she could feel that Primordial energy was many times thicker here than on Blue Polar Star. It increased their cultivation many times faster. But she couldn't feel any profound energy in this world but instead another energy that was different then profound energy.
”Did you feel it?” Wang Lei asked, smiling.
Nodding, Qingyue answered. ”I do! But it's different than the profound energy!”
”it is! This energy is called Mana.” Wang Lei said, patting her head that Qingyue enjoyed to fullest.
Aiko who was stunned by the sudden appearance of this couple came to herself. ”Who are you? You can't enter classes like that without permission!”
”I am sorry to disturb you, little girl! But we are here for the portal! Once it opens we shall leave!” Wang Lei said, smiling while gently patting her head.
Aiko who had her head patted, a blush crept on her face. She pouted and said, ”Moo~ I am not little! I am 25 years!”
”You are still little to me!” Wang Lei said. For some reason, he like this little girl.
Kaori looked towards Qingyue and asked, ”What do you mean by a portal? Are you cosplaying something?” Others also nodded at her question since they thought the same.
Qingyue who heard her didn't know what to answer.
”No, we are not cosplaying, little Kaori. It's just that a portal to a parallel world will be opening here, we are here for that!”
Kaori looked towards Wang Lei, ”Do I know you?”
”You don't, but I do! Anyways, if you don't want to get transported to another dimension then you should leave this classroom!” Wang Lei said, smiling with his hand on the chin.
”Stop joking! Do you think we will believe that?” Kouki said. Ever since he saw Qingyue standing beside Wang Lei he was soured.
Wang Lei ignored him as he could feel the portal being open.
”Oi! I am talking to you!” Kouki who was ignored said when a large magic circle formed below their feet.
”What is this?!” everyone, surprised look on the floor where they could see a large magic circle like one in anime.
Hajime who saw this had a bad hunch. He looked towards Wang Lei and saw that he was curiously looking at the circle. Just as he was about to ask something, he felt his vision blurred and by the time he realizes, he was standing in a different place.
”What is going on?! Where are we?!” someone shouted that made everyone realized that they were, indeed, not in their classroom anymore.
”Everyone calm down! Is there anyone injured!” Kouki shouted trying to calm them down. Kaori also helped them to calm them.
Shizuku was stunned, but what more stunned her was Wang Lei. She couldn't believe her eyes. 'I finally found him! He is alive!'
”Shizuku, are you all right?” Kaori asked, worriedly seeing her friend silently standing.
Shizuku who heard her nodded and realized that they were in a different place.
”Welcome, chosen heroes of Ehit! Welcome to Tortus!” a man over 70 years old said. He had many wrinkles and long white hair. If it were not for his wrinkled face, one could say it was over 50 years.
Everyone who heard him looked towards him with caution. ”Who are you? And where we are?” Kouki said in a demanding manner.
”I have been waiting for your arrival! I am pope of the church of saints, Ishtar Lombard! Preparation for your arrival has been completed! Please follow me! You will be explained everything!” Ishtar said, slightly bowing.
Others hearing him calmed down a little. They all looked towards Kouki, who after thinking nodded. Others also followed behind. Hajime, Kaori, and Shizuku looked towards Wang Lei and Qingyue. They were sure that these two know something since they were talking about the parallel universe and portal before. Eri Nakamura also looked towards them but didn't said anything and quietly followed behind others.
Wang Lei also followed behind them with Qingyue. His attention was on the system right now.
[Ding! A New Power system has been discovered!]
[Ding! All information about the world's power system has been downloaded!]
[Ding! The system shall go on a reboot now!]
'What is going on, Yue?' Wang Lei asked but he didn't get any answer.
[Starting reboot!3… 2… 1!... Initializing new system value!... system is rebooted! Starting the system!]
[Ding! The evolution factor of the host's ability <Ark of Embodiment> is found! Would the host like to start the Evolution? Y/N]
Wang Lei who hear it was surprised he clicked on yes and felt a different kind of information being sent to his brain and consciousness.
[Ding! Ability <Ark of Embodiment> after merging with host Authority Origin has evolved into <Word Magic>!]
<Word Magic: Anything user says or writes, with Energy bounded, shall become reality
Warning: Users be aware as this ability can bend reality itself! Be cautious when use! This ability is depended on the user's energy>
Wang Lei was stunned. He never thought that coming to this world will bring him so many benefits.
