Chapter 87 Mythical Realm

[Chapter 86 Comment]

[Freyte: Hi Mr. Theo, the author stopped updating on our end, I'm not sure if time was flowing during that time period because that's worth exploring]

…

"It seems to be the case." Theo could only sigh after receiving the confirmation from the comments. "Unfortunately, I can only say that time has stopped. I haven't noticed anything. I'm sure that you have watched a movie too… The person in that movie won't realize that the movie has been paused."

It was truly a tragedy that Theo couldn't avoid. One wrong move would lead to the termination of the story itself. It was actually the most dangerous outcome he had to avoid.

"Well, I can't do anything yet. I have to learn more about the situation and find a solution. Other than that…" Theo looked at the outside, finding his students waiting for him. "I have to leave."

Since the mission was related to the royal family itself, they actually sent an envoy to bring their princess and the rest of the group.

"Hello, Mr. Theo. I'm Ansthor, a delegation from the Helvenia Kingdom. Her highness has explained everything, so I'm here to bring you directly into our world."

The envoy was an elf. His pointed ears were a bit shorter compared to Aurora, but his aura was similar to hers.

When Theo looked at him, he noticed the amount of essence within his body. Unlike Lancelot's grandfather, who exuded an aura of a warrior, Theo noticed a different kind of threat. It was as if there was a dagger placed at his neck all the time.

However, Theo didn't appear to be disturbed. He maintained his calm face and shook Ansthor's hand with a smile. "Hello, I'm her teacher. Five of us will be entering the Mythical Realm."

While it looked like Theo wasn't aware of what he had been doing this whole time, Ansthor noticed the slight movement from Theo. At the same time, he heard Aurora's voice, saying, "What's wrong, Mr. Ansthor? You can't be rude to the guest! Hurry up and shake his hand."

"Huh?" Ansthor was confused at first, but with just a blink of an eye, Theo was suddenly a bit farther away from him, still extending his hand for a handshake.

Ansthor believed that he had shaken Theo's hand, but he was wrong.

'I have heard that her highness's teacher is one of the weakest in his original world, but her highness has claimed otherwise. I see… so that's the situation. I was tasked to test whether this person could actually protect her highness, but it seems that I'm the one who is unworthy…'

Ansthor took a deep breath before reintroducing himself while shaking Theo's hand. "I apologize. Let me reintroduce myself. I am Ansthor, the head of Shadow Guard's first division. We're looking forward to your visit to our kingdom."

Theo shook his hand with a smile. Of course, as their teacher, Theo knew the background of his students. The reason why the S Class was special was not the fact that they were troublesome. It was due to their important identity. Even the lowest ranked one like Maya had been personally taken care of by the highest authority of a major base in her world.

Hence, Theo was already expecting them to have the need to find his strength. Though, Theo was just playing with the illusion a little, and fortunately, it was enough to convince the other party.

"This way please." Ansthor led them to the car that would bring them to the gate.

Back then, Baold was waiting for him on the other side, so he had still to take care of the matter in this world.

This time, Ansthor had handled everything. As soon as they reached the building, they entered the gate through priority access and instantly teleported to the Mythical Realm.

The building on the other side was actually made of wood, but the material seemed to have been reinforced by a weird spell. In addition, the materials didn't seem to be able to be burned that easily. Each log was sturdy and huge, making him wonder where they got this type of trunk.

More importantly, there was one big difference in this world compared to the other world.

"Hmm… Is it surveillance?" Theo frowned.

"To think you would notice them, Sir Theo." Ansthor was impressed while Aurora was covering her wide-opened mouth with her hands. It seemed that he had just done something incredible.

"What's wrong?" Theo was confused, thinking it wasn't a big deal.

"Actually, the presence you've sensed earlier are the spirits."

"Spirits? Like us?! No, they're different." The twins looked at each other. "In our world, the spirit has a form like us."

"Yes. The spirits in this world are different from the ones in the Spirit World. The spirits here are in ethereal form and can't be seen with the naked eye. Only when you have made a contract with them will they show their appearance to you." Aurora explained. "Of course, I can show you my spirit right now, but maintaining the spirit's existence will require a huge amount of essence."

"I couldn't feel the presence of your spirit before… But now…" Theo fell silent for a moment, noticing at least ten presences around Aurora. "Is it because of the dense essence in the air?"

"Yes. Though, I only have one spirit contracted to me." Aurora nodded.

"Only races with high sensitivity to essence can sense the presence of the spirits. So, the fact that you can sense them means that you've trained your sensitivity to the highest level." Ansthor extended his hand. "Please follow me. Talking here will bring a lot of attention. I will explain the rest on the way."

"Fair enough." Theo nodded, noticing a few gazes. As soon as they left the building, Theo noticed an even more surprising thing. There was a huge ship hovering above the sky.

The ship seemed to be maintained by essence and a few spirits.

"Wow, a flying ship." Theo commented in amusement. He lived in a world filled with technology, so it was quite interesting to find a flying ship fueled by the natives' power.

"We also have our own flying ship. The holy land is not far from here, so we'll arrive in no time." Ansthor smiled while guiding Theo and the others to their ship.

The ship was majestic. It was wider than a cruise ship due to the bottom structure that held the ship intact. The white ship was decorated with golden metal stripes as well as a giant symbol of two leaves crossing each other.

"It's the royal family's ship. Since her highness is about to return home, I've specifically prepared it." Ansthor proudly introduced the ship.

"It's a nice ship indeed…" Theo nodded with a deep tone as though he could see through the ship. Theo's focus obviously didn't lie on its structure or majesty.

"What do you think, Sir Theo?" Ansthor knew what he meant and couldn't help but ask, curious about Theo's thoughts.

"It has everything but gets confused about its goal."

Ansthor raised his eyebrows in surprise, thinking, 'This ship was built originally for the sake of holding the country's honor. To avoid letting anyone surpassing it, the kingdom created the biggest ship ever. It can become a flying fortress. It has offensive, defensive, or even utility features. In fact, it can do anything. But because of that, the ship lacks the main purpose that can define the ship itself. Did he notice it just by looking at it from the outside?'

Theo, on the other hand, didn't think much about it. He simply measured the size and other things. His grandfather in the original world was a War Saint, so he obviously learned the art of war, including the tools and fortresses like this. And after seeing this ship, he noticed its downside.

"Well, it's just a careless thought of mine. Please don't mind it." Theo shrugged while walking forward.

Seeing Ansthor getting surprised again and again, Aurora walked to him while whispering, "Actually, Teacher could be considered the greatest illusionist in the Sword and Magic Realm. It was said that his illusion caused the death of thousands of Marei. He also excelled in essence control and all kinds of weapons. So, I think you should put away any thought… I don't want any trouble, you see."

"Your Highness… Did you bring your teacher or a nuke to our world?" Ansthor couldn't help but ask.

"Hehehe." Aurora brushed it off with a hollow laugh while saying, "I'll leave the rest to you."

"…" Ansthor was speechless. If what the princess said was right, it seemed that he and everyone in the kingdom had underestimated Theo. He could only sigh after realizing that his job was actually much bigger than he originally thought.

In the end, he guided Theo and the others into the ship, showing various things that the ship could contain, such as smaller battleships and an entirely different environment.

It was a luxurious ship that could ensure that the guests wouldn't be bored, so it was a one in a lifetime experience.

And Theo would definitely use this chance to inspect the ship, trying to learn anything new.
