126 Episode 6: Operation: Hellcurses (2/2)

”Teleportation Circle? I didn't see this feature yesterday.”

”That's because the teleportation circle was still under construction until yesterday. Last night, the Teleportation Circle is complete and ready to allow us to travel from one place to another as long as a similar-looking Teleport Circle is also available in the vicinity of the area we are going to teleport in,” Yaya explained.

”Well that is convenient, we don't need to use transportation or walk just to reach our destination. But I am not sure, is it safe?” I asked.

”It is safe of course, this Teleportation Circle might look like it is dangerous but it is 100% safe. You don't have to worry about losing your limbs while teleporting alright?” Yaya winked.

I shivered when I heard her say ”losing your limbs”. Even if it's a joke, I am nervous about it due to how dangerous it was to teleport while you have the largest risk of losing a leg or hand.

”Hahaha, don't worry Kazuma. It was indeed safe. We won't be using the teleport circle if it isn't safe. After all, we don't want to die either by just a stupid teleportation problem,” Godou said confirming that what Yaya said is real.

”Alright then, let's proceed. We don't have to dawdle right now since the rituals are getting out of hand already,” Yaya said.

”!!!” since Raigaki can't speak due to the silence magic that Yaya used to him, he can only vigorously move his body to make sure we can understand him. Of course, I don't understand what he is saying.

”Yeah, yeah, don't worry Raigaki, I will undo the spell later, once we need your voice and opinion but after that, we will seal it again,” Yaya said.

”...” Raigaki looked disappointed.

We stepped into the Teleportation Circle. It looks like a magic circle, only with the runic engravings that are not usually present on a normal Magic Circle. Still, it looks like it is quite large enough to even transport a truck or a bus in this magic circle. My speculation is that they can use this teleportation circle to transport bigger groups to one place and another or any vehicle to use as a back up in special events. I even guess they use the same kind of Teleportation Circle during the war outbreak on the Phantasmal Reality when they appeared altogether.

”Gather, Form, Distort... Mass Teleport!” Yaya spread her arms and released strong mana fluctuations. After that, my body started to get lighter and I can feel like I was riding a speeding race car.

Then...

Nothing.

After that sensational feeling, nothing followed. I looked around and realized that we are now in the garden of Sakuramiya High. It was inside the greenhouse of the garden. I looked below and the Teleportation Circle on the ground slowly faded and became a normal soil instead.

”The Teleportation Circle is located in the greenhouse?” I asked.

”Yeah. It is the best place since only a few people enter here and it was also quite desolated so it was a perfect place to hide the circle without being detected. It was also camouflaged to blend into the ground so that even if normal people accidentally entered the greenhouse, the Teleportation Circle won't be easily seen,” Godou explained.

”Alright then, since we are here, then let's commence our mission. Gather intel and find students performing the ritual. As the leader of this operation, I will call this mission OPERATION HELLCURSES!”
