The iron armor Rachael wear does not help her at all. The blizzard coldness starts to prick on her skin. Without hesitation, to survive, she takes off the iron armor and leaves her with her only spandex suit when she first comes to this world.
The function in her suit already damaged when she landing here, thus it only can serve it as a regular suit and not as the high-tech suit her brother's scientist made it.
She put the armor on the ground and tilt her head a bit. Thinking a way to climb the mountain within four hours. After some consideration, she uses her hand to bent the iron arm guard into a triangle shape which long and pointy sharp like a dagger.
She makes a chain using a chain body cover to tie up the two of the dagger she makes from the iron arm guard to attached at both sides.
She blowing her red and a bit swollen palm before she looks at the mountain's ice wall.
"Huuu…let's get going." She stabs the first dagger onto the ice wall before she lifts her body up and stabs another one. Even though it might be dull, but at least it still can jab the ice wall finely.
She has been practicing how to control her body weight previously. It easy for her to climb the wall, however, she never tries it on the icy wall when the blizzard is still storming above her. On top of that, her thin clothes are killing her right now.
A few trials keep resulting her to fall back down on the ground. Of course, it leaves the impact on her body when she falling to the ground. Her body has been bruise and scratch with wound piercing her clothes. It was difficult than she thought.
The wall is too slickly and it hard for her to grab onto the ice cleave when her hand has been injured from holding the iron dagger for too long. Its has been one hour pass by, but she continuously falls back to the ground.
All of cursing word has left her mouth in this past hour. She feels like a loser right now. She then sits on the ground and staring at the iron armor which still laying on the ground.
Feeling defeated, she tried to think in a different way..if it was Zoro stranding here..what would he do? He's an inventor, a nerd freak and genius guy. He might gonna use any resource to survive in this situation, right?
If she was her grandfather, what she will do in this situation? Oh wait, she can just call a private jet to pick her up to the top of the mountain, right? She chuckles with her thoughts.
"Then, I really need to think like Z. Hmm..what he will create using so little source right now?" She picks up the iron armor and stands up. She tries to widen her option by walked to the side of the wall. Finding an area that easier for her to climb up.
"Oh, yes...I have an idea." Rachael said and start to use her strength again to make something useful this time.
…
Knock knock
"Master Kei.." Zoro standing in front of Kei's office. He receives a set of clothes from Kei last night. The clothes he put on now look more like a General officer in some anime world. It is nice though.
Feels like he is one of them too. This Master Kei really know how to treat people properly without looking at their race.
"Oh, Zoro. Come in." He looked up at him for a while before he focuses back on the map on his table.
Stepping inside the room, Zoro stop his pace beside the table. It was the map from yesterday. Seems like Master Kei intent to get the stones with his hand this time.
"While I study this place, how about you take the empty scroll at the corner there and start to draw something useful?" He said without looking at him.
"Ah, yes..what do you want me to draw?" He feels at lost for a moment. What are they facing this time? Does he need transport? Machine? Or a weapon?
"Hmm. I need something to kill a giant bug, worm and maybe giant army. Something that we can use to bring back the stone to our Academy without taking much time... scrape the stone from the thick wall of the cave.." He stops for a bit.
"Well, can you think of something to solve that?"
"Ah~ sure..it's my forte to create something as easy as that." Zoro smiling back at him. He thinks he knows what he wants to draw now.
"Hah... I hope it's not just big talk, boy." He smirks a bit. He knows he had a talent for that. He thinks and sees differently than this kingdom's people. His choice for making him is a student is not wrong.
Taking the empty scroll from the corner of the room, he starts to draw silently on the other table inside the room.
Only for a bit of moment, he stops and has a chat with Master Kei. He really is an understanding person. Not only he a few years older than Zoro, but he also had a good vibe as a father too. Perhaps the surrounding in this department makes him like that.
His father never gives him much attention when he was a kid. He always busies following his master and forgot that he had a child. What kind of father is that? And when it comes to his birthday or Christmas, he usually sent him high-tech toys.
That is when he uses all the gifts from his father to rebuild something more advance. For him, having created something helped him to kill time and it becomes his hobby since then. He also being a young billionaire in his world when he just reaches eighteen years old.
His accomplishment is no kidding. He was able to surmount his father's invention in just a few years after his debut. Even so, he did not intent on stealing his father's limelight. He has his own vision and target. Protecting the one he loves is his priority.
Hmm..speaking of protecting someone he loves …remind him of Rachael. She said she needs to go to training today. He wonders, is she okay?
"Hey, Master Kei.." He calls out Kei's name when he still busy planning on the attack.
"Do you mind I used a few scrolls to create something for my own use?"
"Not at all. As long as it's not harming the Academy." He said nonchalantly.
"Thanks." With that being said, he smiles widely.
'Now, my dear...I will make something for you to use. Because you're my lover now..' he humming happily inside his heart while drafting a new tech for her.
Lucky in this world, he has an advantage where he can imply his tech into a use.
…
In the middle of the hidden forest.
"Hmm..what are we doing here, again?" Ning Zhi straightens her back and looks at the man in front of her. They have been playing hide and seek from this morning. But she still doesn't know why they need to hide?
"Shh.." He put his finger onto his lips and grab Ning Zhi's arm, making her almost stumble and fall on him. Lucky he was fast and hold on her waist for not falling to him.
"Hey..your hands." Ning Zhi slaps his hand which lightly squeezed her waist.
"You're a bit skinny, huh? Are you dieting?" He still not release his hand even though has been slap by the girl. Instead, he snaking his hand down to her hip and that make Ning Zhi knock his head with her elbow.
"Move your damn hands!" Ning Zhi snarl at him.
"Ow...I only check on you." He moves his hand and rubs his head.
"Don't lay your hand on me again." Ning Zhi still wants to warn him. Even though he is her head department and she needs to be polite to him, she just can't. This nonchalant character guy really looks nothing as his title, 'The head department.'
"Hmm.." He turns back to eyeing the creature he has been tailing from before.
"So, what are we doing again?" She still pestering him with this question.
Sighing, he looks at her face while holding both of her cheeks with his hand, he draws her face to the spot he has been looking at.
"See? That invisible creature? We're here to study his behavior."
"Huh?" Ning Zhi squinted her eyes trying to locate any creature near them. But to no avail. She sees nothing at all.
"Where?"
"Ugh..this useless bird." He feels like he wants to bite her head off. He then took a small rock on the ground near their foot.
"Watch this..look at the leaves where I throw this rock." He then throws the stone. He did not look at where he throws it and it hit the buttock of that creature.
Zzzzzz zzzzzz
He looks at her and he asks. "Did you see now?"
Ning Zhi's eyes turn wider and her mouth partly open. "O…Ohh..god.."
"Huh?"
"It's running here -"
Bam!
