Author's Note: This work has received major editing(compared to the other work) and has been reposted, do note that the original work is also mine though(Limitless Chat Group in the multiverse). Starting from chapter 7, it's all completely new content. I also figured out that, instead of posting every day and burning myself out juggling between writing and the rest of my life, I could get a "deadline".
Objective:
>=2 Chapters per week
Extra Power Stones and I'll release extra chapters!!
Thx 4 all the support! (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ

A few seconds later, Wing's soul was transported back to the physical world, while his mind stayed in deep contemplation:
'Ju-Just this technique alone, taking into account its founder's young age, if trained to the likes of its creator at his peak, has the potential to outmatch the Hunter Association's Chairmans, even without nen!'
"Cillian, are you sure you want to leave this technique with me?!"
Noticing Wing's extremely baffled expression, Cillian immediately understood the magnitude of what Wing had received and answered:
"Don't worry, Wing. First off, it wasn't me who chose the technique you got, it was the unorthodox group chat itself. Secondly, although I can guess that you probably received something to enhance your battle prowess, maybe a strength-type enhancement or martial arts, or maybe even a different type of energy, I fully believe that you won't abuse its power. Neither in this world nor the many to come."
Although he still had a lot of hurdles to pass, Wing's still a bona-fine adult whose age surpasses both Zoro's and Mereoleona's. Even when considering the unique life that they've lived, Wing can be regarded as more mature. While the group chat member duo only took on Cillian's words at face value, Wing, understanding Cillian's perspective and underline-meaning, while also recalling his Unorthodox Group Chat interface, curtly asked:
"...Thank you, Cillian. It means a lot. So... What kind of worlds do you all come from? And how exactly does the 'Unorthodox Group Chat' work? More specifically, what does each function do?"
Finally, after having been confused as to what had just happened, hearing the opportunity to butt into the conversation, Mereoleona boldly declared:
"Let me answer this!"
Observing Mereoleona's fiery eyes, determined to flaunt her knowledge, both Cillian and Zoro said with a deadpanned expression:
"...sure" x2
"Welcome to our Unorthodox Magic Knight Squad, Wing!"
Hearing this unfamiliar term for the first time, Zoro looked at Cillian seemingly communicating with his eyes and his minor facial expressions. Zoro asked with an angry tone:
'When did we decide to call ourselves "that"?!'
With a bleak voice, Cillian answered:
'Just let her do her thing and be happy...' *sigh*
Wing, with his numerous years of experience dealing with other hunters, a profession that usually requires one to hide their facial expressions, easily figured out the nature of Cillian and Zoro's "undercover operation", opting to remain silent while also confirming his suspicions on each of the trio's nature.
'Mereoleona, although she has a hot head, being quick to anger with her brashness and straightforwardness, seems to be the most innocent and morally upright out of the three. Lostoro has the character of a true swordmaster, mostly unaffected by his environment, even though, if feeling like it, he would probably act on his gut and instincts.'
'Cillian, on the other hand, is much more mysterious. He has a constant emotionless face, thwarting any attempt at reading his deeper thoughts, appears to be hiding his power, and, most of all, is the 'admin' of this group chat.'
Completely ignoring Cillian and Zoro's twitching mouths, while also not paying any attention to Wing's pondering bearing, Mereoleona confidently continued:
"I won't go into any more detail about the group chat's objective, since you already pretty much know what we do. Instead, I'll explain to you each function it has, ok?"
Mereoleona asked with a lion's grin.
"Ok, it looks like you're the teacher now, huh?"
"..."
"Bwahahaha, so it seems, pupil!"
Laughing to herself, Mereoleona proceeded:
"Anyways, as you have most probably noticed, the first feature is the [Invoice], there's nothing much to it, you got your 'newbie gift pack' there, and if you buy anything from the store, it will appear there."
"The [Group Chat] is much more interesting. Why don't you try entering it?"

[member 'Nascent Pioneer' has joined the chat]
[member 'Crazy Fire Lion' has joined the chat]
[member 'Remorseful Vampire' has joined the chat]
[member 'Lord of Gender Equality' has joined the chat]
[admin 'Journey to Perfection' has joined the chat]
[member 'King of Hell' has joined the chat]
[Nascent Pioneer: Nice to meet you all. My name is Wing, I am a Hunter from the Hunter Association and am currently teaching my disciple in Heaven's Arena!]
[Lord of Gender Equality: Nice to meet you, the name's Kazuma!!]
[Remorseful Vampire: Greetings, Wing.]
[Journey to Perfection: As you've likely guessed, I'm Cillian, @Crazy_Fire_Lion is Mereoleona, and @King_of_Hell is Zoro.]
[Nascent Pioneer: Don't you mean Lostoro, Cillian?]
[Lord of Gender Equality: ... Ahahaha, that's what you get for mocking my reincarnation, Zoro. Seems like the almighty bounty hunter is worse than a kid with his direction. Hahaha, do you want me to teach you your left and rights?]
[King of Hell: Just you wait 'till the next time we meet you, cowardly NEET.]
[Crazy Fire Lion: Seems like you're toast hotshot, bwahaha!]
[Lord of Gender Equality: You know I was joking... right, Zoro? You'd never kill me, right, Zoro?!?]
.
Meanwhile, in another world's stables, Kazuma thought to himself while incessantly biting his nails with cold sweat pouring down his back:
'There's no way that moss head would ever cut me open... right? From the messages he has sent and the clips I have seen, he seems like a nice guy... that has a sword, is super strong, and could very well kill me!'
While Kazuma was monologuing, Aqua was at the corner of the shed staring at her partner's pitiful appearance.
'How could I have been duped into saving the world with this idiot?'
.
[Nascent Pioneer: So basically, when you first arrived in our world Lostoro, or should I say, Zoro, got himself lost while going around and, because of that, you couldn't register at the Heaven's Arena. Thus, when you were registering yourselves the following day, Zoro's name became 'Lostoro' and it's been that way since?]
[Journey to Perfection: Essentially, yes. By the way, while in public, please continue on calling Zoro, 'Lostoro', so we can avoid future misunderstandings.]
[Nascent Pioneer: Sure. Are you ok with that, Zoro?]
[King of Hell: Do I have a choice?]
[Crazy Fire Lion: No]
[Journey to Perfection: No]
[Nascent Pioneer: ...Anyways, although it's been fun, mind explaining the rest of the 'Unorthodox Group Chat''s functions, Mereoleona?]

Hope you all enjoyed the chapter.
