章 40: It's M-M-Moving?

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

In conclusion, Baiyi had managed to acquire quite a lot this time. However, there was still one problem left. It was true that he had gotten his hand on many precious materials and consumables but when it came to money, he did not manage to make a lot. Most of the consumables were meant to be used on a Fighter so basically, Mia would not be able to use them at all. Baiyi who already had an abundance of energy did not need to use them as well. Even if he was to sell it, he did not have any connections in that world to do that... So in the end, his financial situation did not really change at all.

Tsk... Why didn't that Dole girl bring more money out with her... Baiyi ranted inwardly. Immediately, his words managed to provoke the scolding of the other Voidwalkers.

"Erm... Mr Hope, don't you think you are being a little unreasonable? Undine is a junior you know. She doesn't mean you harm and yet you have stolen all of her supplies. You even stole her underwear as well! How could you say that now?"

Don't put it that way! It's all a misunderstanding okay? It was just a pure coincidence! I did not even mean to steal those useless pieces of clothing! Baiyi defended himself vehemently.

In the end, he spent the whole night talking about all sorts of nonsense with the Voidwalkers one after another. Soon, the sky gradually turned bright. A small grunt could be heard coming from Mia as she slowly woke up and rubbed her eyes that were still filled with drowsiness. She did not notice that one of the strap of her nightgown had slipped down from her shoulder, revealing a sweet and soft, white shoulder. Turning her gaze towards Baiyi who was sitting by the window, she let out a smile and greeted him softly, "G'morning, Mr. Hope."

For a short moment, she did nothing else other than snuggling the hammerhead doll that she was hugging all night long. Reluctantly, she placed the doll next to the pillow properly before taking off her nightdress in front of Baiyi to put on the white academy uniform. Raising her right leg up, she pulled the white silk stockings from her heel to her thigh, wrapping her slender and straight long leg up tightly. After that, she did the same thing to her left leg before going out to fetch a pail of water to wash up. Finally, she used two white ribbons to tie up her ponytails, transforming herself from the sleepy lazy little cat to the sweet and cute Mia-chan.

Throughout the whole process, Baiyi instinctively felt awkward and turned his head away, unlike those other Hentai-Walkers who enjoyed watching the exciting scene of a pretty girl changing her clothing...

To Mia, Baiyi was her family now so she had let her guard down around him…

"Well then, Mr Hope, I'm off to the class now!" Mia, who was done freshening herself up, hugged a few books to her chest and made a gesture to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Baiyi stopped her in her tracks and handed her the box of cat paws cookies, "Bring this to your class to eat."

"Ah... I've almost forgotten about it!" Playfully sticking her tongue out, Mia quickly reached over and took the box from him. At once, a confused look appeared on her little face. In a low tone, she asked, "Eh? Why is this warm?"

"I've casted a simple Heating Spell inside. Isn't it more delicious when it's warm?" Baiyi answered. That was a spell that he invented out of boredom the night before.

"You are so nice! Mr. Hope!" Mia beamed. Not caring about the heavy things on her arms, she forcefully rubbed her little face against the rough rattan of Baiyi's chest before she left for class in joy.

After her silhoutte gradually disappeared from sight, a person complimented in Baiyi's mind, "Sigh... Look at how cute Mia-chan is! You are so lucky, Sir Hope. I also want to be hugged by Mia-chan!"

This is not the time to say these kinda things! Time for serious matter now! Baiyi announced as he strode towards Mia's bed and picked up the hammerhead doll that was still lingering with Mia's scent and indented from her weight.

The Pseudo-Descent Technique yesterday had given me some inspiration. Since we happened to have the suitable ingredients with us now, I want to try to enchant that technique onto this doll, Baiyi explained his idea to the Voidwalkers. Then, as long as Mia carries this with her, we can always go to her side anytime we want.

"That's a brilliant idea! But I'm going to stop you right there. I need to correct you on a mistake that you made," the Archmage replied. "The technique's name is the Six realms Five Planes - The Divine Figure of KuriKara, not some Pseudo-Descent technique!"

Hello? Is this the correction that you meant? By the way, where exactly did you copy the name from? I'm well familiar with your naming standard and taste you know. It's not possible for you to come up with such a cool name, my dear teacher! Baiyi retaliated inwardly.

"It's true that this is a good idea to protect Mia but don't you think it's a little too wasteful?" The Alchemist asked next.

There's no such thing as being wasteful. Baiyi replied. Such things are only worthy of their value if they are being used. There's no point in keeping them in a storeroom and not doing anything with them. I'm not a hamster!

"No no no. That's not what I meant," The Alchemist quickly corrected. "What I mean is that using such expensive materials to enchant a spell onto a plushie doll is quite wasteful. At the very least, it should be an armor or something, right?"

"This doll is currently the most suitable item." Looking at the silly hammerhead doll that was in his hands, he continued, This thing is very easy to be carried around and Mia is also very fond of it. Not only that, such an ordinary thing would not attract too much attention. More importantly, after the spell is enchanted on it, the technique won't need my continuous supply of energy. I could barely split a small part of my consciousness to control this small item, let alone a whole armor. 

So, besides the Aurora's Mercy, I will enchant more spells onto the doll as well. These magic would help the user to cope with all sorts of critical situations, Baiyi carried on explaining. At the same time, he cut open the snowy white tummy of the hammerhead doll and got ready to start his work.

Here was what he planned to do. He planned to turn the hammerhead doll into a super powerful magical tool and equip it with a Voidwalker who could fully utilize the doll's power so that there was no need to worry about whether Mia knew how to operate it or not.

"Are you trying to turn this doll into a weapon? I didn't know that you're so fond of this thing!" The Lich asked jokingly.

Fond of? Well, not really. Gently stroking the soft and fluffly doll, Baiyi replied in a serious manner, I just have a peculiar feeling that this doll would determine our destiny in the future... Ahhhhh.. Who knows? It's probably just an illusion anyway.

As he was speaking, he activated his Mana and extracted the Chi Prowess from the Chi Restoration Potion and Chi Restoration Crystal, forming a sticky energy sphere in front of him. He continued to pour the Behemoth Spinal's Powder and White Dragon's Blood into the sphere before using his Mana to guide them to blend and form to become the pigment needed for formations.

Carefully, he guided the sphere of pigment and drew multiple exquisite yet small formations inside the doll. Those Magical Formations were interconnected with each other, forming a group of complicated Magical Array. Baiyi was highly confident that nobody else in the world, other than the Voidwalkers, would be able to understand the function of the Magical Array.

After stitching the belly of the doll up, Baiyi used his magic to dry and soften the doll. Once again, the hammerhead doll returned to its previous state of fluffiness. Nobody would have ever thought that a fluffy ordinary doll like that would have an exquisite power hidden inside it.

After he was done, Baiyi could not help but be reminded of all of the precious materials that he had poured into the belly of the doll. Sighing, he breathed, "I guess, this must be the most expensive plushie doll in this world, right?" Having said that, he began to gradually transfer his consciousness into the formation of the doll, activating the skill while asking the Walkers at the same time, Alright! Now who wants to have a test drive on this?

"Me! Me! Me! Let me have a go!" A voice could be heard offering himself up enthusiastically. That voice belonged to the 29th Walker called the Engineer. "Knowledge wise, I'm the most scientifically equipped and not scared of any experiment. You have to let me try it!"

Alright! I have faith in your professionalism, Baiyi agreed as he passed the command of the consciousness to the Engineer. Not long after, the hammerhead doll that way lying still on the table a moment ago could be seen wriggling suddenly. The tail was twisting non stop, as if it was trying to turn its body over. But, as the fins were made shorter to look cute on the doll, he still could not move much despite how hard he tried.

"Hmmm... Looks like the mobility is not that good... Well, I guess we can't do much about that. Fortunately, there's no other abnormality. Seems like this turned out to be quite successful. Alright, Sir Engineer, you can return now!" Baiyi proclaimed out loud as he tried to pick the doll back up.

Without warning, the hammerhead doll that was lying still like a dead fish a moment before suddenly became as agile as a loach and jumped to the side, slipping out from Baiyi's hand. Then, the Engineer's voice could be heard speaking in his mind, "Please wait a moment more. We should be patient in order to test the stability of this experiment!"

You do have a point. But if we maintain this state, it will deplete the energy of the formation. We don't have anymore materials left to remake another one. We need to be more thrifty. Return first! Baiyi felt thankful towards the Engineer for being willing to support his experiment. Again, he tried to pick up the doll but the doll leapt up, dodging his hand again.

"Sir Hope! We really must be patient in an experiment like this. Please let me stay here till the next morning!" The Engineer said righteously.

Hmmm... Why does this sound suspicious? Baiyi started to give it a second thought. This is Mia's favorite doll and everytime when she's back from her class, she would snuggle and kiss it the whole day. Not only that, she would even hug it to sleep the entire night... Wait a minute... Does this mean that...

As he started to piece all the puzzles together, Baiyi instantly gave a hard punch on the doll's belly and forcibly retrieved the Engineer's consciousness back. Not long after, the wail of the Engineer could be heard in the Void, "AAAAHHHHHHHHH! DAMN IT! MY PLAN FAILED! MIA-CHAN'S KISSES! MIA-CHAN'S SNUGGLES! MIA-CHAN'S HUGS! I WANT THEM ALL! GIVE THEM BACK TO ME!"

I KNEW IT! THIS HENTAI BASTARD!


章 41: Mr. Sorry

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

Well, first of all, we would have to congratulate the Void-Hentai Union on the addition of their newest member. The group was originally called The Four Void-Hentais but now there were five members in it... Erm... Let's just put that aside for the time being... Back in the Void, the other four members were comforting the Engineer, telling him things like "Don't worry! We're gonna get more chances in the future!" and "The time for us to shine will come."

Okay, guys! NO! As long as I'm still here, you will never get any chance at all! Baiyi announced loudly. Putting on the navy blue cloak that Mia had sewn for him, he busily prepared to go out for a stroll. To be honest, the workmanship of the cloak was really not that good and the fabric was also cheap. But then again, one can't complain too much because it was made from the excess of a curtain. Coupled with the full militia armor on his body, he looked particularly awkward and funny. There was no doubt that he would attract a lot of strange looks on the road. However, Baiyi did not mind those things at all but instead, he treated the cloak like a treasure.

His main intention in strolling around the academy was to see if he could find any odd jobs in the academy. He was sure that in the future, he would be earning more money than he did the day before. The lousy lie that he told Mia the day before would not be able to work anymore in the future, which was why he needed a proper job.

But there was only so much that a Soul Armature could do. In fact, his prospect was not much better than Mia's. Especially in an elite school like the Celestial Fortress Academy, there was a lot of Soul Armatures which means there was no shortage of strong people. With his strength only at the Intermediate Level, he really did not have anything that made him stand out.

Well, selling some special formulas to the academy's alchemist workshop sounded like quite a feasible idea. Although it felt a little bit like giving away the goose that laid golden eggs, but he really had no other better options .

As he was pondering, he walked towards the main classrooms of the Celestial Fortress Academy. Basically, the layout of the academy was in the shape of a ring. All of the classes, practice fields and all sorts of workshops were arranged neatly in a ring. And right in the middle of the ring, there was a miniature garden that was filled with a variety of beautiful flowers and trees. There was also a small pond, verandah and even a hut where the students could take a break.

Nevertheless, they weren't many students lingering around in the garden. Instead, there were more Soul Armatures. At first, Baiyi was somewhat surprised by the amount of Soul Armatures gathering around the garden. After he had given it some thought, he began to realize the reason why. Usually an ordinary Soul Armature would be under mobility restriction. That obviously did not apply to him. They usually have to maintain a close range of distance to their practitioners in order to ensure their survival. It was no wonder that the structure of the academy was built like that because as long as the Soul Armatures were in the garden, it would be convenient for the students to carry out their daily lives. And let's say if something were to happen to them, the Soul Armature could quickly reach them in the shortest time possible as well.

The layout, taking into account the beauty and practicality as well as the accessibility, was indeed quite exquisite. Baiyi decided to take a look and at the same time, observe how those ordinary Soul Armatures usually spend their time.

Gee... Sunbathing on the lawn? Fishing by the pond? Reading an old book over and over again? Several people gathering together to tell the stories of their heroic deeds in their past lives? Feeding birds and cats? Looking at those pitiful people, Baiyi almost thought that he had walked into a park meant for the elderly. The only thing lacking to complete the scene was a group of people practicing Taichi.

No wonder that boring arena was so full of people. And no wonder the Voidwalkers are so attracted to Earth's cultures. What a pitiful and appalling culture this world has... Look at those Soul Armatures especially! They look so bored that they look almost rusted!

The moment those people saw the approaching of Baiyi who was dressed in a peculiar manner, they could not help but stared at him curiously, as if he was an alien.

"I guess they must be curious as to why I can be here without my practitioner," Baiyi chuckled to himself as he randomly sat down on a bench. Not to his surprise, a person quickly came to query--- a Soul Armature who was at the Legendary Level. His armor looked to be slightly simple and worn and it gave Baiyi a sense of familiarity.

"I'm sorry, can I talk to you?" The Soul Armature asked politely, not caring about the shabby armor and out-of-place cloak that Baiyi was wearing. After all, he was once a powerful being unlike those students who only judged things based on appearances.

Why must you apologize? Baiyi wondered but at the same time, made a gesture asking him to take a seat. "May I help you?"

"I'm sorry. I'm just curious about you..." The Soul Armature started off his sentence with a 'sorry' again before he continued, "Why are you able to come here all alone without the company of your practitioner?"

"Ahh... Well, this is because my power is actually very weak so I don't place any burden on my practitioner at all. On top of that, my practitioner is very outstanding, allowing me to have a bigger mobility range," Baiyi claimed proudly.

In fact, Mia had said something similar to her friends as well, "Look at this! Mr. Hope bought this for me! He got it all the way from the Southern City... That's right! Mr. Hope has a broad range of mobility. I guess, it's probably because of the fact that he is strong and gentle at the same time? I am really lucky to have met him..."

Without a doubt, her words had won the unanimous envy of all her classmates, just like the old Soul Armature who had an envious look on his face. That was right! They were a duo who took pride in each other!

"I'm sorry, what an admirable combination you have right there! But of course, my practitioner is excellent as well. At the same time, he possesses a powerful soul. When I first came here, I thought that I would have to wait for him by the corridor when he's having classes," the old Soul Armature continued.

Well, judging by the innate capabilities of a student, being able to have such a huge mobility range must mean that this practitioner of his is quite remarkable as well. Baiyi thought to himself. Actually such a distance cap was not entirely decided by the power difference between the practitioner and his Soul Armature. Sometimes, in the case where the practitioners were incredibly talented or the Soul Armature and its practitioner had an intimate relationship before, the mobility range would be increased as well.

Therefore, many people would summon their dead relatives, friends or even spouses to become their Soul Armature so that they could regain a new life together. With the bond that they already had beforehand, apart from the increased in mobility range, it was quite a popular method that was commonly used.

Well, there is no doubt that a farther distance would be better. Otherwise, having to stick to each other all the time--- during meals, sleeping time and even toilet breaks--- would be something that is very troublesome... But now that I think about it, your mobility range is not that small. "Why do you keep on apologizing? It feels like almost every sentence of yours have at least one 'sorry' in it..." Baiyi asked in a straightforward manner.

"Sorry! This is just a habit of mine. In fact, most people call me Mr. Sorry..." The old Soul Armature apologized again politely before changing the topic, "If I remember correctly, I think I saw you during the appraisal last time. Your performance last time was outstanding! You must be a powerful sorcerer, right?"

Ahh... No wonder this guy look familiar! Isn't this that guy who fell over before he could show off his death blow?

"Yes, that's me. I'm Hope," Baiyi introduced himself. As he glanced down, he noticed that there was indeed some traces of repairs on the guy's knees and so he asked, "Are you okay now?"

"I'm sorry that I have made a fool of myself last time," Mr. Sorry once again started off the sentence with his trademark 'sorry' before he said frustratedly, "Sigh... This armour is a little too old now. I have gone to many blacksmiths for repairs but the result was always unsatisfactory... Besides, my practitioner did not come from a wealthy family, so I guess I'll just have to put up with it for now."

"Ahh, is that so?" Baiyi could not help but feel a little sympathy for the man, prompting him to ask the Blacksmith in his consciousness, Would it be considered as breaking our promise if I just help fix the armor?

After a long time thinking, the Blacksmith finally replied, "Well, if it's just reparing and not some major recasting or remodeling, then I suppose it's fine," the Blacksmith probably knew that his insistence last time had put Baiyi in an awkward position, so this time, he decided to take a step back instead.

That's great! I'll help him then. It's not easy for him as well I think, Baiyi replied inwardly as he turned to Mr. Sorry at the same time, "In my past life, I have studied the craftsmanship of forgeries and repairs out of pure interest. If you trust me, you can find some tools and materials and I'll help you fix it."

For a moment, Mr. Sorry was stunned. Obviously, he did not understand why a sorcerer would be interested in the art of craftsmanship. But out of politeness, he did not dare to ask the reason why. Deciding to give it a try, he replied, "I'm sorry. I'll thank you in advance, Sir Hope. I'll go look for them right now!"

Having said that, he jerkily ran off to find some tools and not long after, he brought back a huge wooden box. Baiyi was taken aback when he found that the wooden box contained an iron hammer, rivets, iron shards and more…

"Sorry, I borrowed this from a repair worker of the academy. Can you see if it is useable? If they're not enough, I'll look again!" Mr. Sorry said.

As a Legendary Level being, he's not cocky nor arrogant. This man doesn't seem like a bad guy at all apart from his ridiculous habit of saying 'sorry' all the time, Baiyi thought to himself while signalling for the Soul Armature to sit on the bench. Using his Psychic Energy, he casually inspected his knees and used his Mana to remove all of the rivets that the previous blacksmith had installed. He then picked up a few iron shards from the toolbox and measured the size of Mr. Sorry's knees.

After Baiyi had finished measuring them, a high-temperature blue flames surged out from his finger as they accurately cut the shards into the desired shape. Those shards were then attached and welded firmly onto the knees--- which were weakened due to metal aging--- by the blue flames.

With his Mana, he used a hammer to tap and made some final adjustments. After everything was completed, Baiyi finally said, "Alright, I think you will be able to show off your death blow smoothly now!"
