บท 15: Base.

In the forest filled with Danger Beasts, there was a group walking slowly.

"Monsters?" Whitebeard was listening to Saitama explaining his world briefly.

"They seem like Sea King in my world but they are much stronger than those fishes" Whitebeard didn't take those Sea King into consideration but Saitama world monsters seemed like a better challenge.

"Strong? They always die after one-punch" Saitama didn't change his expression before he said "Fishes... Are they edible?"

"... Yeah, they edible and the best of dishes are made by their meat" Whitebeard looked at the deadpan Saitama become interested in the topic before he said " You call yourself a hero, but are there other heroes? or someone as strong as you?"

Whitebeard was interested in this topic, even if he saw Saitama someone bored and looking for a challenge.

Saitama looked at Whitebeard but he had to raise his head because of how tall is Whitebeard before he said " Someone as strong as me?"

" I never saw someone as strong as me, be it humans or monsters, but heroes?" Saitama's expression changed slightly.

"Yeah... The people like to follow each other, be it for admiration or other purposes. But there will always be people passing the torch. Like our pirates" Whitebeard looked at Saitama but he noticed that his expression was stiff.

"If that was true... " Saitama had a slightly shocked expression before he said " This is the reason nobody recognized my achievement until now"

Whitebeard raised his eyebrow before he said " Recognition? You don't seem to be the person who does things for fame"

Saitama shook his head before he said " I didn't do it for anyone to admire me or fans but... It would be nice if someone noticed what I've been doing..."

"Notice what you were doing?" Whitebeard looked at Saitama seriously before he said " Even if say that, I don't think this is what you really want"

With those words, Whitebeard walked forward while leaving Saitama walking slowly as he was thinking slightly about those last words.

"Heeee, a city with its technology which said to be 30 years ahead of the world" Kazuma was walking with his hands behind his head while listening to Misaka description about the Academy city before he said " And it scientists were able to make humans have physic powers"

"Yes, this is the start of us Espers, and the Academy city is made from 23 districts which include all schools from kindergarten to university" Misaka hugged Kuriboh but she always felt she forget about something before she said " There is only seven Level 5"

The more he listened the more Kazuma felt this is suspicious as all his knowledge about games and animes were screaming at him about this conspiracy.

{This is suspicious, very suspicious... How can someone able to create superpowers just from pure science and make them this strong... From her description, the Academy city isn't that much of a Sci-Fi city but they are able to do it...} Kazuma's thoughts were racing until he remembered something.

{Leo said something about angels... No way...} Kazuma had a shocked expression {If there are angels, there has to be magic or something similar, so it means there is someone behind this city and most likely a Mage, which he used his magic to make those Espers by science...}

Kazuma was only having theories, but he didn't know he almost figured out Misaka world plot.

{However... What is going on with those two?!} Kazuma had a scared expression while looking at the front.

Leo and Kaguya were in the front, but the atmosphere wasn't right. Both of them were walking and floating normally, but Kazuma can swear he's seeing a dark aura around them.

{Scary!! super scary!!! What the hell is wrong with these two! Aren't Leo supposed to space and Kaguya time, can't they just get along!!??} Kazuma was panicking in the inside while looking at the two in the front.

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Leo was walking normally, but his aura said otherwise, as he looked at Kaguya.

" Exactly what you heard" Kaguya floated carfree before she said " With this personality of yours... You'll never get a girlfriend much less a lover"

"Huh? Are you stupid? Oh, you are stupid" Leo didn't care about Kaguya's angry expression before he said "But... Jokes on you, I'll go and learn from the great saint after this task is over"

"Great saint?" Kaguya saw Leo looking at Misaka in the back before she said " No... Really?"

"The great saint of our gender quality, the one with the power of 'I punch her, and she falls for me', the imagine breaker himself, Touma Kamijou!" Leo had a serious look on his face while clenching his fist.

Kaguya looked at Leo with a speechless expression, but before she said anything Leo said " We have arrived"

Everyone stopped as they saw an empty spot in the forest filled with rocks next to a mountainside.

"What do you mean? This place is empty!!" Kazuma looked at the rocks as had an exaggerated expression on his face.

"Camping?" Misaka tilted her head when she saw the empty spot, but she always felt she had forgotten something important.

" I have seen worse in my life..." Whitebeard didn't care about sleeping on rocks.

Saitama felt his luck is going down after destroying his apartment and the talk with Whitebeard.

"Nope, it in the front..." Leo jumped on one of the rocks before he turned towards Kaguya and offered her a hand to help her.

"Oh? Did you finally realized how wrong your ways are?" Kaguya was proud as he reached for Leo before she said " Well, this princess doesn't mind your help if you listened to her"

Misaka felt something weird is going on and so did Kazuma but he seems to count something. Whitebeard raised his eyebrow when he saw Leo's expressionless face while Saitama is still thinking about his sleeping place.

"....." Kaguya put her hand on Leo's hand before a moment of silence happened.

Kaguya looked at Leo in confusion because he didn't help her before she felt something like an electric shock hit her body. " KYAAAAAAAA!!!"

Leo looked at Kaguya calmy, as he was absorbing her Ki in a very fast speed. White aura was being absorbed from Kaguya's arm and rush towards Leo as it created wind flow because apparently Kaguya has infinite Ki.

"You!! KYAAAAA!!!!" Kaguya wanted to activate her ability, but Leo increased the absorption as she almost fell to the ground and all her face is red now.

Leo shadow started stretching in a very fast manner as it engulfed all the large empty spot in this place before Gold Experience appeared and punched the ground "USELESS!!!"

The ground with all the rocks turned golden at a very fast speed as they mixed with Leo's shadow. After a few seconds, a mansion started to rise from the ground.

After a while, the mansion appeared completely, as Leo let go of Kaguya which made her fall to the ground with all her face red and she was breathing heavily.

"This is quite surprising" Leo waved his hand slightly before he said to Kaguya" It seems we really make a good team"

Leo pushed his glasses as Gold Experience was behind him, it was almost like he did a pose which made the already angry Kaguya almost explode from rage.

Kazuma saw this set of maneuvers as he felt he was enlightened which made him want to learn an ability to absorb energy like Leo to use it for totally noble purposes.

Misaka was already getting used to these guys actions so she didn't care that much as she cared about the large mansion.

Saitama felt his sleep was secured for today while looking at the large mansion.

Whitebeard was a little surprised by Leo's power, but he recovered immediately as he saw weirder in his world.

Kaguya recovered immediately because of her immortality before she stood up and looked at Leo like she going to launch a full barrage at him, but she stopped.

"Very good job..." Kaguya smiled sweetly while looking at the mansion, but Leo was feeling something wrong.

"Watch your back" Kaguya smiled more sweetly as she said very cold words before floating towards the mansion.

Leo watched Kaguya leaving before he put his hand on his chest and felt his dragon was in 1% progress {I think I need to create this beast faster...}

Suddenly, Leo felt a hand on his should before he turns around and saw Kazuma looking at him with a face filled with determination "Leo, no... Master!! Please, teach me your ways of energy absorption!!"

Leo looked at Kazuma quietly before he said " Learn steal before you talk to me"

Leo walked inside the mansion following Saitama, Misaka, and Whitebeard before Kazuma recovered from Leo words and followed them.

After everyone entered the mansion, the mansion started to blend in with the colors of the surroundings, as it disappeared from the sights.

"Wow, did you make all of this in few seconds?!" Kazuma watched the mansion from inside as it seemed to have everything from rooms, baths, kitchen, training grounds, etc... The mansion had everything even water and electricity were available.

The whole mansion is a beast created with a connection with the underground water and a lake two kilometers from here, as for the electricity it was generated by this beast eating water or absorbing Ki from the surrounding.

Leo even made sure the doors and the ceiling are big so they can fit Whitebeard.

Leo doesn't know how that works, but he left that for the huge amount of pure Ki he got from Kaguya to make it like this.

"It is like you see it" Leo answered briefly while Kazuma was cursing this OP power.

"AH!!" Suddenly Misaka screamed, as she remembered what she forgot.

"What happen?" Kazuma asked as everyone was looking at Misaka.

"My bag..." Misaka felt to her knees while her expression almost turns gray " My clothes and stuff..."

Misaka remembered she lost her bag after all those fights and because the conversations hurt her brain made her forget about it completely.

{My Gekota... All my Gekota that I brought} Misaka felt she was going to cry, but she heard Kazuma say " Clothes? You brought clothes?"

"Of course, I brought clothes!! I mean, what about you!!??" Misaka pointed at the team here as they did seem to hold anything in their hands.

"I learned to adapt to the situation and my tracksuit in enough!" Kazuma had a face full of determination while saying those words.

"Guhahahaha, as a pirate I've faced more difficult situations, so I don't care that much about my clothes" Whitebeard didn't care if he was with his same clothes as this is the life of pirates.

"I'm eternal, I never get dirty…" Kaguya explained quietly.

Leo didn't say anything, but in Misaka's eyes his clothes started to change into different outfits before they back to normal.

Saitama looked at this group before he said " Can't you just buy clothes here"

Everyone looked at Saitama as silence filled the place.

"Good idea..." Leo broke the silence as he looked at the group and said" Explore the mansion or pick a room, this mansion can recognize your voices, so just yell if you don't understand anything"

"Where're you going?" Kazuma asked as he saw Leo leaving.

Leo looked back and said " I'm going to the capital to get some supplies... Do you want something?"

"Wine" Whitebeard said directly.

" Desserts and tea…" Kaguya put her request, but she seemed to think of something while looking at Leo.

"Food... Can you eat monsters here?" Saitama remembered seeing some monsters while they were in the forest, but a force emitted from Whitebeard scared them.

"Clothes... Tracksuit sucks in a fantasy world" Kazuma pulled his tracksuit slightly.

"....." Misaka didn't say anything as she was sad for all those Gekota while Kuriboh was above her head.

"Yes, you can eat monsters here as long as they are not poisonous..." Leo answered Saitama before he moved towards the door and said " I'll come back after a while, ask the mansion if you don't understand anything"

Leo left the mansion before he looked at the way they came from and walked in it, as he was saying" *Sigh* that idiot"
