Chapter 68

[Host, this is a specially selected mission!] The system displayed the mission content in front of Amamiya Keisei, [It is different from the last time. It is not a strategy mission, but... um, it is more difficult.]

[It’s okay, it was my request.] Amamiya sighed and looked directly at the mission content.

[Mission goal: Promote the creation of new world lines

Progress: 0%]

At first glance, this mission does not seem to be very difficult. After all, when he was with Tsushima Shuji, the system told him that his actions had caused the original world line to shift and take a different direction of development. Thinking about it this way, it seemed that as long as he took the initiative to approach the pillars of the world and participated in everything they did, completing the mission would be a piece of cake.

but……

The system explained weakly: [The target world we are about to go to has a relatively strong and stable world line. In the countless parallel worlds, the development of the world line is also very small. Even if the host does something that makes the world line turn, it may still turn back later. In other words, this progress will fluctuate up and down.]

It listed the incomplete world data in its database: [Host, please take a look.]

This is a whole new world for Amamiya Tadashi. People with special abilities in it are not called psychics, but sorcerers, and their abilities are called rituals. They fight monsters created by negative emotions, and the time span of the central world line is very large, lasting ten years.

“Ten years…” Amamiya Tadashi thought, “That’s more than half of my real age…”

System: [That's right, but this also causes the time flow to be faster than one day per year. Only ten days will pass on the host's side, which is totally fine! In addition, there will be a few years of idle time in between, and no major events will occur, so the host can return to the host.]

Amamiya Rei laughed: [Really? But I think... if I want to complete the mission, I still have to stay with the World Pillar, right?]

[Yes, that's right, but you don't need to explore the other person's secrets, and you don't need to gain the other person's complete trust. Just stay by their side and be an ordinary friend, that's enough!] said the system.

Just ordinary friends.

Amamiya Reizo looked at the task interface with a dazed look in his eyes.

After a moment, he continued: [Is my body okay for the next ten days? Since I want to stay with the Pillar of the World, I should become a sorcerer. My special ability... well, it will become a spell. If I have to fight the cursed spirits, it will affect my body, right?]

The system is a little uncertain: [The energy obtained in the first mission should be enough. As long as the host does not use too much power, I can repair the vest in time and it will not affect the host's body.]

It fiddled with it for a while, and added another column below the mission progress, with a value for [Power Fluctuation], and said: [The full value is 100. Normally, the energy used does not exceed 60, so it is a piece of cake. If it exceeds 80, it will affect the main body. If it is full, the vest will collapse.]

Amamiya Ruisei nodded: [Okay, I understand. Thank you, system.]

[It's all my responsibility! Then host, shall we set off now? Do you need to go back to your main body?]

[No, there's nothing to do when I get back, so I might as well make the most of my time.]

This was not the first time that the system had taken him through the world. Amamiya Ruisei closed his eyes, stood firmly on his feet, eased the dizziness for a while, and then opened his eyes to look around.

He was standing on a path in a wood. It was very quiet all around, not even the sound of birds. There were low houses not far away, and it felt very peaceful.

Amamiya Reizo blinked and raised his hand to touch his eyes. This time both of his eyes were fine. He was still a little uncomfortable, and wondered if there was any problem somewhere else.

"Where am I now?"

Amemiya Leisei walked forward, left the woods, and came to the front of the house. Looking inside through the glass, he found that it was actually furnished like a classroom, but there were only a few desks and some words were written on the blackboard, so it was obviously not an empty classroom.

Is he in school now?

Amamiya Tadashi thought about the world information and thought that if it was a school, it should be the specialized school for sorcerers that the World Pillar attended.

Could it be that he has become a teacher again?

Amamiya Leisei blinked and shifted his gaze from the classroom to the figure reflected in the glass. To his surprise, the person in front of him looked a little younger than himself. He raised his hand and pinched his face, and saw that the himself in the glass was also pinching his still slightly chubby face.

"So I'm a student now..."

The boy couldn't help but curl his lips and smile. His originally depressed mood improved a little. He couldn't help but whisper happily: "If that's the case, I can still enjoy my late school life?"

That's great. He originally thought that the system would still assign him the role of a teacher. After all, it wasn't his first time as a teacher. Unexpectedly, he was assigned to be a student who was a pillar of the world.

Amemiya Rei's eyes lit up and he looked at himself with interest.

The reflection on the glass was not very clear, but his general appearance could be seen: young and full of energy, with a rosy face that looked like he could run several laps right away, and even his eyes, which were the same color as his original body, were a little brighter.

Even though it doesn’t look like my original self, it’s nice to see myself looking this energetic when I was a teenager.

Just as he was concentrating on looking at himself in the mirror, a hand suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, classmate, I see you've been looking at yourself in the mirror for more than ten minutes. Aren't you satisfied?" The person who spoke put his elbow on his shoulder and poked his face with his hand. "Why are you so narcissistic, huh?"

Amemiya Reizo blinked, slowly turned his head and looked over, meeting a pair of eyes that emerged from under sunglasses.

The other person's eyes were also blue, but the color was a little lighter than his. When he looked into them, it was like looking at some crystal clear gemstone, especially dazzling and beautiful.

So pretty...

"Why are you looking at me? I know I'm handsome, but I can be shy too." The young man pushed up the sunglasses on his nose to cover his jewel-like eyes. He said he was shy, but his expression was actually very wild, with a look that said, "I knew you were obsessed with my handsomeness."

This is the pillar of the world?

Amemiya tilted his head repeatedly.

The feeling... is different from what I imagined. I thought he would be a stable type like Shuji-kun. Hmm, with such a personality, can he really be a pillar?

"Hmm? Come on, I heard from Mr. Yemo that there will be a transfer student coming. Could it be you?"

The boy took back his hand from his shoulder and looked Amamiya Ruisei up and down: "You look depressed, what a boring person."

"Hello," Amamiya Reizu slowly spoke, "My name is Amamiya Reizu, I know you, you are Gojo Satoru."

He thought for a moment and then said, "I'm sorry, you have beautiful eyes, so I was mesmerized just now. You are indeed very handsome."

Gojo Satoru put his hand on Amamiya Reizo's shoulder and said sternly, "I take back what I said before. You are very interesting and you have good taste."
