Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 509 Are you the one who bought computer parts?

An unfamiliar ceiling...

Generally speaking, one would say this upon waking up in a new place, but Lu Ke didn't say it because it felt too cliché. What truly woke him up was the conversation of a pair of demon sisters in front of his bed.

"This is a scene I've never seen before, sister."

"This is a scene I've never seen before, Rem."

"Is that a crude thing unique to men? How strange, sister."

"Since it's morning battle mode, I'll give you a make-up lesson later, Rem."

"Can I lift the blanket and take a look? Rem is a little curious about the real thing."

"Theoretically speaking, it's not allowed, since they are guests of the mansion."

Both of them spoke calmly, without any major emotional fluctuations. Their back-and-forth exchanges were remarkably harmonious, and there were no issues except that the topics were a bit too explicit.

Considering that this is a topic discussed privately among the girls, it can perhaps only be considered a light snack.

"Actually, I don't mind being a cadaver; we can learn together too..."

Luke slowly straightened up and greeted the two oni girls in front of him, who were dressed in maid outfits and looked almost identical except for their hair color... but it didn't seem to have a good effect.

The blue-haired girl is Rem, and the red-haired girl is Ram. The two oni girls took a few steps back in unison, hugged each other, and looked wary.

"The guest said something quite shameless, sister."

“The guest is a beast with a filthy head, Rem.”

"You two maids suddenly started attacking the guests. By the way, isn't the older sister's attack power a bit too high?"

Luke, seemingly unconcerned by the evaluation, scratched his thick hair and dressed and washed up under the watchful eyes of the two maids, while casually offering them advice on life.

"What is theoretically impossible is actually possible, and what is theoretically possible is actually impossible. This is the law of the real world."

These words surprisingly made some sense, so much so that the two maids were stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought. In the meantime, Luke dressed and left the room.

After the commotion last night subsided, Emilia, feeling guilty for helping to retrieve the badge, defeat the enemy, and for the misunderstanding, wanted to offer sufficient rewards and compensation after apologizing. Therefore, she invited Luke and his group to visit her territory.

Each royal chosen one has their own power and territory. Emilia is a bit special. Her background is unknown. She has no background support like the other royal chosen ones. She only became one of the royal chosen ones because she was recommended and certified by "Count of the Frontier" Roswaal L. Mezas.

The mansion is spacious and bright, built in a grand style, and decorated in a classical and elegant style. Every corner is carefully maintained and cleaned by capable maids, and is spotless and tidy.

As Luke walked through the mansion, he stopped at the door of a guest room and decisively opened it.

The other side of the room was not an ordinary guest room, but a huge library, with rows of huge bookshelves arranged in an orderly manner, and a vast number of books were stored and protected by magic.

The ocean of knowledge, in the literal sense.

Facing the door, reading a book, was a petite girl wearing a pink and white layered dress. Her long golden hair was styled in elegant vertical curls, and she was savoring her coffee as if enjoying afternoon tea.

Beatrice, the manager of the "Forbidden Library" in Roswaal's mansion, is an elf created by the Witch of Greed, Echidna, just like Puck. For four hundred years, she has been guarding this great library in accordance with the Witch of Greed's requirements.

"Hey, did I disturb your reading?" Luke smiled and waved to Beatrice.

"It's not a bother, but Betty hates uninvited people."

Beatrice's voice held a hint of dissatisfaction as she was surprised to sense a considerable number of auras emanating from Luke—human, dragon, elf, magical beast… and many other auras that even a learned elf like herself could not comprehend.

He seems to be a very peculiar and special person.

Beatrice stood up and walked straight to Luke, her tone cold:

"You have ten seconds to explain why you're here."

Luke: "I'm looking for a disciplinary committee member who likes older female students, enjoys buying computer parts, has the same masochistic tendencies as Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, and shouts 'Big sister's loving whipping' with great pleasure after being electrocuted, and is skilled in teleportation. Have you seen this person?"

This answer dashed Beatrice's hopes and made her lose interest in the conversation, becoming very impatient.

"There are just too many annoying people in this mansion. Roswaal really puts all sorts of people in there... Is there anything else you want to say?"

Beatrice walked up to Luke, placed her hand on his stomach, and gave him a mischievous smile.

Lu Ke earnestly advised, "Well... I suggest you don't do that."

"Humph!"

Beatrice snorted coldly, watching that somewhat hateful smiling face as she activated the magic to absorb "Mana".

The rich, intense, and vast "Mana" emanating from the point of contact spread a warm sensation throughout Beatrice's body, giving her a feeling of ethereal bliss.

"Hmm... what's going on? How can there be 'Mana' of this level..."

For over four hundred years, Beatrice has absorbed a considerable amount of "Mana" from humans, but this is the first time she has seen "Mana" of such high purity. It is even more delicious and amazing than high-purity magic crystal ore.

But something's not right!
A person with this level of "Mana" purity must be a powerful magician; there's no way they would let her absorb it!

Mana is both an element that is converted into magic through "gates" and the life force of the human body. Under normal circumstances, when mana is depleted and reaches a critical point, the person will become powerless. If it is continuously drained by the outside world, it can even endanger life in severe cases. It is something that no one would want to be drained.

Beatrice, intoxicated by the magical delicacies, looked at Luke, who still had a smile on his face and showed no sign of pain, and immediately tried to pull her hand away to sever the magical connection.

pat!

One hand held Beatrice's small hand firmly, preventing the elf from trying to escape.

Lu Ke revealed a villainous smile that could be described with adjectives like evil, insidious, and monstrous, and sighed softly:
"Since you decided to start, it's my turn to decide how to end it."

"Let me go, you pervert! What do you want?"

Beatrice sensed something was wrong and began to struggle, but the hand holding her down showed no sign of being shaken.

A massive amount of "Mana" kept pouring into her body, and Beatrice's struggles lessened considerably.

She initially thought Luke had grabbed her to launch an attack spell, but so far he has only maintained the channel for the flow of "Mana," continuously pouring his "Mana" into her.

Is this an attempt to burst her?
If that's really her plan, then she's seriously underestimating her. After all, she's the pride and joy of her mother (the Witch of Greed), a powerful elf. Even if a mere human's "Mana" is of high purity, the quantity couldn't possibly reach that level!

…………

ten minutes later.

"Stop! Stop! It's overflowing!!!"

Beatrice's voice was no longer arrogant as it had been; it was now a cute, almost tearful sound. Her body was radiating a shimmering magical glow, and a part of her body had begun to crystallize due to the excess magic.

This is not a cruel punishment; on the contrary, for elves whose essence is the condensation of magic, the infusion of magic is a process that can be described as enjoyable.

But everything in excess is harmful; too much pleasure is also a punishment. Rather, Beatrice could endure the pain and even look forward to death, but she could hardly guard against such pleasure.

"Is this how you give up? I still prefer your defiant attitude."

“Betty…was wrong…”

"Then act out what it looks like when you get electrocuted, your whole body convulsing while you're grinning like an idiot."

"...Don't even think about making Betty...show that shameful...posture!!!"

"wrong answer."

Luke increased the flow of magic power, watching helplessly as the crystallization of the elf spread all the way to her neck, then her brain overloaded, she lost consciousness, and only then did he release her hand and let the elf fall to the ground.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we can squander our magic power freely for the next few decades. No need to thank me, I'm just a passing ally of justice."

Moved by his own righteous act, Luke hummed a tune as he left the Forbidden Library. Downstairs, he saw Natsuki Subaru and Sato Kazuma doing calisthenics on the lawn.

The latter was clearly dragged over unwillingly. When he saw Lu Ke's gaze, it was as if he were looking for a perfectly reasonable excuse. He ran over as fast as he could.

Good morning, Luke.

Lu Ke nodded, glanced at Natsuki Subaru who had also finished his jog and came over, and smiled: "You two get along really well."

Kazuma Sato pouted, "I just tried it because I saw radio calisthenics, which I haven't done in a long time."

He discovered that he had long forgotten how to do it in school, and could only awkwardly try to imitate Subaru Natsuki. As a result, his movements were quite clumsy, to the point that he wondered how he had been able to do it so smoothly during breaks back then.

Natsuki Subaru wiped the sweat from his forehead, no longer looking as dejected as yesterday, and nodded with a smile.

“Jin-ge talked to me a lot yesterday, which made me realize that I am still very immature in terms of relationships, so I want to work on other things first.”

"What did he say to you?"

"You can't be a simp or a cuckold in love. An unequal relationship can't last. You have to improve yourself to stand taller, gain the initiative, and when you're famous and successful, you can get any woman you want!"

Lu Ke stroked his chin. Although everything he said was fine, he couldn't help but feel that Sato Kazuma's motives weren't entirely pure.

He glanced at Kazuma, who indeed looked guilty.

[I wonder if Subaru Natsuki will be interrupted even when he's kissing like him, but I absolutely won't allow my juniors to sneak off before I'm in a relationship and lose my virginity—]
Hakijin, you really are...

Upon reading these thoughts, Lu Ke's lips twitched slightly.

"By the way, didn't we come here to level up? When are you going to take me to grind monsters?" Feeling that he had been seen through, Sato Kazuma took the initiative to steer the conversation back to business.

Lu Ke didn't expose his captain's little trick and nodded gently: "Don't worry, monsters will come to you on their own soon, and their quantity and quality will exceed your imagination. I'll take you to check out the skills with a little elf later, so you can plan ahead what skills you want to learn and in which direction you want to develop."

Kazuma Sato scratched his head. "The loli elf you're talking about, does she know a lot of magic?"

"There are so many that you can't count them all. Even if you are limited to using 'dark attribute' magic due to your own attributes, you have mastered countless spells."

"understood."

Kazuma Sato nodded and began to consider his own development path.

"How convenient! You can level up your skills just by fighting monsters..." Natsuki Subaru looked quite envious. Last night, he had a long talk with Sato Kazuma and learned about the situation in the other world.

It's not so powerful as to be considered a cheat code, but it allows for rapid progress simply by defeating enemies, directly breaking through magic that normally requires a very long time to learn, which is still a very powerful and convenient feature.

Lu Ke smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, if he can do it, so can you."

"Can I do it too?" Natsuki Subaru pointed to himself in confusion.

"Leveling up by defeating monsters is a passive skill that all adventurers have. After that, all you need to do is take you to the real world to register as an adventurer and get an adventurer card."

Lu Ke patted Natsuki Subaru on the shoulder, "On the contrary, you have an 'extra advantage' that Sato Kazuma can't envy."

Natsuki Subaru perked up and became excited. He said that as someone who had been transported to another world, he must have some powerful cheat codes!

"There have always been seven 'witches' in this world: Typhon, the Witch of Pride; Minerva, the Witch of Wrath; Daphne, the Witch of Gluttony; Camilla, the Witch of Lust; Segmed, the Witch of Sloth; Echidona, the Witch of Greed; and Satella, the Witch of Envy."

Luke recounts history in detail, including the "witch factor" that gives witches power, the witches' "power," and the "return by death" that exists in Subaru Natsuki, bestowed by the jealous witch Satella. He pours out the secret knowledge for free.

The two listeners gaped, silently processing the overwhelming amount of information.

"Simply put, it's the SL (save/lord) technique, right? Like saving and loading game saves?"

Upon hearing about such a powerful skill, Subaru Natsuki was overjoyed, but his excitement was quickly dampened.

"Your cheat is the favor bestowed upon you by 'Satella,' not true power. In other words, if Satella decides to stop protecting you, you will truly die. Moreover, you cannot decide when to save your game, and the way to load a save is by dying."

"Every second before you die could be a save file. If an unexpected event occurs, you could keep rewinding and keep dying. That's a possibility."

“That’s certainly possible, so it can only be considered a cheat with both advantages and disadvantages…” Natsuki Subaru said with a frown, suddenly feeling a fiery gaze fixed on him.

"Kazuma-nii, what's wrong?"

Kazuma Sato expressionlessly drew his short sword. "It's nothing, we just found the culprit... Let's test how well your cheat works."
