Skadi, returning to infinity

The next second, they appeared in a remote, uninhabited mountain far from the Reunion Movement camp.

"Saving Alina was done with willpower."

“My eyes are hidden under my hood, you can’t see them.”

As Skadi spoke, she suddenly pulled down her hood, revealing the upper half of her face that was not covered by the black veil.

Looking at that head of white hair, and then at those jewel-like red eyes, they seemed to recognize each other.

“Look over there.”

He stretched out his finger and pointed to a place in the distance.

"My eyes lit up, and there it was..."

As she spoke, a faint red light shone in her eyes.

Then, in the area she pointed to, the exact same scene as the rescue of Alina appeared.

"this….."

Talulah looked surprised. She had guessed it, but she didn't expect it to be true.

"Alright, let's go back."

With another snap of their fingers, they were instantly back inside the house.

Skadi put her hood back on, swung her legs, and found it quite amusing to watch their silent expressions.

Why are you so concerned?

"Hmm? I will not only save Alina, but I will also save you if you are in danger."

As she spoke, a soft light shone from above in the hall.

Then, under the light, Talulah and the others could see an invisible red line connecting their waists to Skadi's body.

"This is my connection with you."

“You are in danger under this connection, and I will sense it.”

"As long as you are within a certain range, I can save you."

"However, this connection will be blocked. If you go to an extremely dangerous place, I will not be able to sense it."

"This is what I did after I decided to become your mentor."

"After all, I have to ensure the safety of my students."

Hearing her explanation, Talulah and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

They then exchanged a glance, each seemingly harboring their own thoughts.

However, neither of them dared to speak, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Chapter 52: Thus, you are the light of this world.

"Mentor, what ability did you use?"

"It doesn't look like... Originium Arts."

Froststar still voiced her doubts.

"It's not Originium Arts, it's another kind of ability."

"You should understand that there is more to commerce in this world than just Originium Arts."

Her words made Froststar and the others recall some things they had seen in recent years.

The most typical example is the scene broadcast live across the entire continent of Terra: the white-haired Valkyrie battles the Sun Dragon for ten days and ten nights before she wins.

That was real, like watching a war between gods.

That's definitely not Originium Arts, but a different kind of ability.

They may not know, but that doesn't stop them from yearning for it.

In addition, I've heard that the mysterious force on Rhodes Island has quite a few people with special abilities.

I don't know if that's true or not.

"I know it, but I still want to learn it."

Frostnova stood up, walked to Skadi's side, and tugged at her skirt.

"Mentor, please teach me."

She's icy and aloof in front of strangers, but she can act all cute and affectionate in front of Skadi, her "mentor".

This clearly shows that Skadi is seen as a family member.

"Learning this is fine."

"But you all need to get some rest."

"Because this ability is related to mental strength."

"If you don't rest properly, your spirits will wane and you won't be able to use these abilities."

"Do you understand?"

Her coaxing made Skadi think for a moment and then agree to come down.

Skadi reached out and ruffled Frostnova's hair; she was well aware of Frostnova's thoughts.

"Mental strength?"

Alina's eyes lit up when she heard her say that.

"Mentor, may I study here?"

"Although I don't want to hurt others, I want to protect myself so that you can do other things with more peace of mind."

Alina doesn't know Originium Arts, and at her age, it's unlikely she'll learn them.

But what if it's another ability? Perhaps there's still some hope.

"Although it doesn't place high demands on the body, it's still beyond what your current body can handle, Alina."

"If you want to learn, you need to train hard for a period of time."

"Once I improve my physical abilities, I can start learning."

"Don't worry, it won't be too difficult. You just need to find the right technique."

“When I came here, it seems that I have not taught you anything else except how to practice your own path and ideals.”

"This time, I guess it's a way of making up for it."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a piece of bread on the table flew into her hand.

"That's the ability—you can do it if you want to."

"In other words, Alina, if you learn this ability, you can cook meals for dozens of people all by yourself."

Skadi's words greatly appealed to Alina, who had originally intended to learn these abilities for self-defense.

But she would be even happier if she could help Talulah and the others in other ways.

"Then I'll listen to my mentor and work out properly."

As Alina spoke, her eyes turned to Talulah.

Talulah was preoccupied with something and didn't notice her.

Sitting on the sofa, Talulah ate the bread Alina had given her, taking small bites.

Skadi, with her back to them, lifted her veil and ate.

This was her first time eating with everyone, and they had hoped to see what she looked like, but her attempt to conceal herself disappointed them.

I really want to know just how beautiful my mentor is, but unfortunately... I can't see it.

"Mentor, you went into seclusion some time ago."

"So there are some things you might not know."

After Talulah finished eating a small piece of bread, she finally spoke.

"Hmm? What is it?"

Skadi's attitude was very gentle, just like Talulah's.

"We've been talking about Babel, an organization that shares our ideals and wants everyone on this land, regardless of race or whether they are infected or not, can live together."

tower…."

"it……"

"They've disbanded."

"Because their leader, Princess Theresa Kazdel, who is very famous throughout Terra, was killed in battle unexpectedly, and another core doctor was severely injured."

"With one of the two core leaders dead and the other wounded, the Tower of Babel could no longer be sustained."

“A little over a month ago, the Tower of Babel disbanded, and the remaining leaders and some members formed a neutral organization called Rhodes Island.”

"I'm not sure what Rhodes Island's current principles are, or whether it's still following the path it once took."

"I just wanted to know..."

"Is it possible that, aside from our Reunion Movement and the Tower of Babel, no other organization understands the issue of infected versus non-infected individuals in this discussion...?"

Skadi listened quietly as she spoke, only opening her mouth after she had finished.

"No, Talulah."

"I previously lived in the country of Da Yan, which is next to Ursus, for a period of time."

"In Da Yan, the infected people were not actually oppressed, nor were they significantly alienated from ordinary people."

"Although they have no way to treat those infected, they never give up on them."

"This proves that even without the Tower of Babel and the Reunion Movement, there are still places in the world that can accommodate infected people and will not discriminate against them."

"But this is only the case in the Great Yan. In other places, except for Sargon, it's pretty much the same."
