Although we weren't sure exactly where we had been teleported to, I managed to first teleport us near the fractured mountain range with a flicker, then after replenishing our mana, flickered us back to the academy.
Yes, and on the same day.
According to the theoretical numerical comparison, our time to the abyss was only about four days, which means in human realm time, it's only been about ten hours. We set off in the morning and now we're back at the academy in the afternoon.
But looking at it now, the sun is already setting in the west, indicating that our estimation had some errors, but what's certain is that it's still the same day.
Just as we returned to the academy, I received a message from Ms. Mary.
"So quick to skip class, huh?"
I chuckled and immediately replied,
"Isn't it better to be quick? After all, we brought an entourage with us."
"Well, now that you're back, quickly figure out how to solve the issues of the Felia family, now that you've found your body, Felia's existence..."
"No need to worry about that."
Glancing at Beigesi beside me, I said, "We have our methods."
On our way back just now, I also explained to Beigesi the current condition of her body. At first, I thought she might be unwilling, but unexpectedly she readily agreed.
According to her, there was never a sister and she wanted to give it a try.
Well, hopefully she won't show her true colors.
"Ah, this is really tiring."
Bai Yueguang suddenly complained.
"Think about it, it's only been 'one day' for us, and within one day, we've actually been involved in a war in the abyss. It's not easy."
"But isn't this our daily life?"
I said with a wry smile.
"However, through this, I also understand our shortcomings. We're too lax, far inferior to those powerhouses."
"Big Brother... I'm sorry..."
Oyado suddenly spoke beside me.
"Always saying that I want to protect my brother, but..."
"Don't worry."
I patted her head.
"It's the brother's responsibility to protect his sister, right, Aliyah?"
"Huh? Why mention me?"
Aliyah glanced at me in surprise, then looked away.
"Hmph."
"Well, anyway, thank you all so much this time."
I turned to look at everyone.
"If it weren't for your help, maybe we wouldn't have been able to find my body back so smoothly this time."
"Well, who you should be most grateful to is me."
Beigesi proudly said.
"Without me, how could you have defeated that pervert."
Hey hey hey, that pervert occupied my body for a while, isn't this...
"Okay, okay, it's all thanks to you, alright?"
"Well, remember to take me to taste all the delicious food in the mortal world~"
Oh my goodness, this elf queen is also a foodie, unbelievable...
"Fine, fine, I got it."
"Oh right, in that case, Fir, you should treat us."
Bai Yueguang suddenly said.
"Yes, since we want to thank you, show some sincerity, isn't there a luxury restaurant near the school? We'll be waiting for you to treat us tonight."
Taishi Xi surprisingly chimed in this time.
"Hey, hey, hey, have you guys digested all the food you ate yesterday?"
"No problem, bring it on, we can eat however much."
Taishi Xi said smugly.
You guys...
At this moment, all I could do was force a wry smile.
Well, it looks like I'll have to find a few more places to plunder... no, to borrow money from.
And also, get stronger!
Volume 11 Preview
"What, another event at the academy?"
"Treasure hunting in a secret realm? Are they kidding? Can those noble children handle it?"
"I never expected an event to escalate into a new struggle between the nobles and commoners. What do you think, Fir?"
"Well, in any case, it's still very interesting, Professor Fir~"
"Well... let's just hope nothing dangerous happens."
"You can't gain without putting in effort."
"Even... risking our lives?"
"Professor, we might... have come to a very dangerous place."
"Don't die, get stronger. I know you guys don't want to lose either, right?"
