Shuttling Between the Two Worlds

It had been 7 days since the day we got into this another world. At the same time, it had been 1050 days since I started my training.

 

Not only did my Mental Aspects grow further, but my own strength did as well due to the 6-month exp bags that my master gave me.

Some of my 8M Exp was spent to upgrade my stats to A Rank. As to why I didn't upgrade a single one to S Rank immediately, there's two reasons. It was so expensive and that it would cause a desync again.

 

Thanks to my stable upgrade of stats, my master saw that my progress in regards to cultivation is very good even though it's not the result of cultivation.

 

In fact, my training schedule became significantly different from before.

 

I used to do 12 hours of non-stop swinging, 8 hours of guard swordsmanship practice, and the remaining time is used to cultivate, as it can perfectly replace sleep just like in the myths. Even though it's useless, it can still recover my Martial Force, plus it felt better than sleeping.

 

Now, it consists of 12 hours non-stop swinging and "cultivation", 5 hours of guard swordsmanship practice, and 3 hours of honing my techniques. Since my master told me that I can now practice the techniques that he gave me, I did. 

 

Even though I didn't fully "Understand" it yet, all I did is to enhance the power of my [Sword Willows] as it is the downgraded version of [Infinite Sword Phantoms].

 

On the other hand, the reason why I called it "cultivation" is that.. I don't really cultivate. At most, I use it to recover. Other than that, I can also appreciate the added effect of the new technique on my Mental Aspects, since it made the process faster.

 

My "cultivation" and non-stop swinging was n integrated ever since my master gave me one of his techniques..

 

[Celestial Swordsmanship (God)]

-A cultivation technique created by the strongest Star Race swordsman. 

-Allows the practitioner to sharpen his techniques and cultivate at the same time.

-Allows your body to recover faster with the help of the stars.

-Allows the practitioner to hone his Mental Aspects better.

 

Yes, its yet another insane technique. As it's a Cultivation technique, I only needed to fully comprehend it; there's no masteries included.

 

But the price didn't shock me much. Yes, it was just 7M Exp. Most of my exp earned is spent on here. Master gave this to me since he already gave me the other ones before.

 

Since my master sensed in shock that I comprehended this technique yesterday(180 days ago), he readjusted my training plan.

It didn't make a phenomenon, but it did got sensed by my master. I thought that "Understanding" this would boost my training efficiency..

 

Since I chose not to limit myself in this world anymore, I chose to Understand it.

 

With it, not only did my [Sword Mastery] levelled up faster, my Mental Aspects grew stronger faster too.

 

In fact, there are 5 levels of Mental Aspects that my master had specified me: Sharpening, Controlling, Shedding, and Returning. As for the last one, I would only understand at the Deity-Realm, as it's too abstract.

 

Right now, I'm still at the Sharpening Stage. It is the stage where one acquires the "Sharp" vibe whilst training. 

 

Anyways, right now, I am along with Dan(Aria). Since food supply is very limited, we are all required to find food ourselves.

 

Since Red also gave some help towards those he didn't specifically call by giving a guidebook, some were able to use their traits already. This helped on scavenging for some food.

 

Though, it might look easy surviving in this jungle, it's not at all. The convenience that we always had(Electricity) was gone. No lights during night so they have to endure the darkness in the classrooms, no baths, no toothbrushes, no rest rooms. None at all.

 

During the first 5 days, many struggled. Thankfully, the first batch of people who can utilize their traits appeared during the second day, which caused the food supply to be secured at the very least.

 

Fortunately, there's also a flowing river, a water source down here. Red himself verified that it is safe to drink using his trait called [Analysis].

 

In the end, they are barely hanging on. As for me, I've got to thank my [World Travel] for that.

 

I can just go on the other world, take a bath, eat good food, and so on. Even though the training is tough, I didn't care. Heh, talk about convenience.

 

In fact, I only have one body. I don't know how the [Panel] had done this, but I really only have 

one body. It just travels across the two worlds.

 

Maybe my body in reality got transported, became an infant, and grew up again. Something like that. So basically, I can do the needs that I can't do in reality in the otherworld.

 

"I didn't expect that you would react like that, really."

 

"Nah, don't mention it again.."

 

Prior to 7 days ago, I was asked by Dan(Aria) on whether I was shocked due to the fact that his friend is actually a superhuman. I then acted based on the me without the [Panel].

 

I said, "Cool.. I'll be your side character then!"

 

"What you said days ago still makes me laugh.. Ahahahaha.."

 

"Isn't this plot very similar to the novel that I lent you years ago?"

 

"Oh, yeah. I totally forgot about that."

 

What's quite strange is that, Red looked at me with a bit of disbelief the moment I've said that I'll become Dan(Aria)'s side character.

 

What's wrong with that?

 

"Still, this is my first experience of going into another planet. I've only seen those experiences on the records."

 

"Is that so?"

 

"Mn. In fact, the various energies on our planet is very thin. Going into this planet on the other hand is a very good experience."

 

We then talked more about various things. It was until someone called us out to eat did we then stop.

 

"It's all ready!"

 

Red made a system about various things in this forest. Thankfully, there's no shortages of talents in the high school building.

 

Some students worked on a slaughterhouse, some can butcher one, some can cook very well, and so on.

 

Red is responsible to check whether the food that the others bring back is edible or not. If it is, then it will be assigned to those guys.

 

Since there are about 80 something Keepers of Order, plus the fact that there are more than 400 who can now utilize their traits, Red made certain teams.

 

In every team, there would be 1 Member of the Order and 6 ordinary people. They would then be together when scourging for food, patrolling, and so on. It was hard to say whether they got used to it in the past 7 days, but they had to.

 

As for me, I got teamed up with Dan(Aria), obviously. She's more than enough to be alone for a team. I'm just being carried.

 

Just like now. It's currently night time and we're patrolling the surroundings of the building(Around 500m of the vicinity is just empty land, so imagine a building with 500m radius of empty land and a forest surrounding it).

 

Since there are various campfires being lit and torches placed on the vicinity to guard against those monsters, we have a good visibility even during the night.

 

"Woah.. Misha's cooking is so damn good!"

 

Misha is one of our cooks. Since there's no spices out here, some teams are tasked to bring back some fruits or herbs. After Red finishes checking it, the ones similar to our spices would be then used on our food.

 

She cooked something similar to a wolf steak. Thanks to her [Fire Control], it made her cooking much more delicious. Eating this on a wooden plate made it feel very otherworld-ish.

 

"Is that so?"

 

"Yea!"

 

Dan(Aria) paused for a bit before nodding in understanding.

 

"Say, Lugh. What would be a girl that you would like?"

 

"A girl that I would like?"

 

What's with this random question? I looked at him for a bit before replying.

 

"A very adorable girl."

 

"Huh?"

 

"A girl who would wash away everything bad you're feeling right now with just a smile. A girl who would always laugh to brighten up your day. For short, a very kind and adorable girl."

 

I answered honestly. Dan(Aria) didn't talk for a while, so I looked at him. To my surprise, she is.. blushing?!

 

Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minu-

 

Click!

 

I was about to monologue again, my favorite habit, when everything clicked.

 

For example, I realized that during my past 3 years of training, my comprehension is more than just good. I even tested it on the techniques that Red gave me, and ta-dah!

 

I learned it to Initiate-Level Mastery in just 7 days on the otherworld!

 

This contradicted the fact that I only learnt the [Sword Willows] up to Initiate-Level in 2 long years back in the other world.

 

When I am in this world, I have this comprehension. When I am in the other world, I don't have it. I technically "reincarnated" in the other world, yet this talent didn't come with it? I didn't think about this further for now..

 

Not only this, but I'm also halfway the Sharpening Stage in just 3 years. Usually, it takes 7-10 years for a normal person to do so, my master says. Well, some of the credit goes to the [Celestial Swordsmanship]. It really boosted me alot.

 

If I we're to go infer the path that my past life took with my good Comprehension, it would be the ones that uses my brains, such as being a strategist, instructor, teacher, and so on.

 

This is where I realized. I'm not just a mob character. I am actually a side character...
