Chapter 26: Background?—X, Backworld?—Y, Going Out



"I am from there," Aleron said as he pointed at the sky.

Rias and Roxen followed his finger and looked up, confused.

"Where?" Rias tilted her head.

'She is so cute,' Aleron internally sighed and patted his heart.

"Ahem, you see that star? Yes, I am from there," Aleron said with a big smile.

Roxen stared at Aleron while Rias wryly smiled before pouting, "Stop joking, Ale."

"No, no. I meant... I am from another world," Aleron grinned and put his hand on his head, "I swear on myself. If I lie, then may my arcane source get destroyed."

Rias and Roxen's eyes widened in shock.

"Actually..."Aleron looked around before lowering his voice, "I am here to scout this world. I just arrived here a few days ago."

"W-What..."

Both of them had disbelief in their eyes, but they couldn't help but believe due to the oath Aleron took.

He was really from another world!

"Really?" Rias asked, gulping.

Aleron blinked and nodded twice, "Yes."

As such, both of them digested this fact.

"How is your world? Is it different from this?" Roxen curiously asked.

Aleron grinned and nodded, "Very much different, haha. That's why I am curious about this world."

"Then shall we go and fill in your curiosity?" Rias smiled and stretched her hand.

'Hand holding already?!'

Aleron stretched his hand, but Rias shook his hand and said with a playful grin, "Welcome to the Ardentia World. I hope you'll like it here."

"Thank you, haha. I hope so too."

Both of them saw mystical energy beautifully gathering at the center of his palm in the form

of micro-string patterns before forming a tiny orb on his palm.

"What is this?" Rias asked as she pointed at the tiny orb the size of a pinky fingernail.

"Tap on it."

Rias tapped on it, and it suddenly shattered and released beautiful pinkish-red motes that gathered into a cute and beautiful bird with exotic feathery pinkish wings and ruby eyes.

"T-This..." Roxen was shocked.

Rias was greatly startled as well, but her eyes immediately filled with mirth and she chuckled as the cute bird rubbed its head on her cheeks.

'Woah, it really worked!' Aleron was excited that his spell really worked. 'Magilore is superb!'

"This bird can take the form of a bangle and protect you with a barrier and healing by responding to your crisis via your thoughts," Aleron grinned.

'I poured in around 1,000,000 Magilore with extreme healing and defense against physical and magical attacks at the base. That absorption syllabus's part should also work as I

intended.'

'Umu. It should protect her properly,' Aleron internally nodded as all the knowledge he learned from Falran Empire became helpful.

Since he had a pool of knowledge, he could also create more Arcane Syllabus based on that and his imagination as a foundation.

Not being aware, Aleron gave her a level of protection capable of withstanding the attack of the most powerful powerhouses on this Lightdusk continent.

'Oh yeah, I should also create something like this for myself. I guess I'll brainstorm about it after devouring magic knowledge in this empire.'

The bird transformed into an aesthetically beautiful bangle after nearing her wrist and bound

to her.

"It's beautiful! Thank you so much," Rias said with a broad smile. 'It's so powerful! It seems that he is really hiding his true powers.'

Roxen was also shocked, even feeling palpitation when she tried to check the power of that bird. 'What is that power?! T-This...'

She suddenly had a new worry emerging. '...I hope inviting them here won't lead to anything bad for the Empire.'

The trio talked about various things related to the city and told Aleron about some places they would visit later as time passed.

And soon, the carriage arrived at the Longinus Empire's prestigious and strongest Academy that nurtured the best of the best found within all territory of the Empire.
