After class ends , Dennis leaves with her jacket's hood over her head " When you said you wanted to pick up some hi-tech equipment , I didn't think you would pick a jacket " " It's just something I don't forget to bring "
" And doesn't it get hot ? " " I'll be fine , I said it before . Having this piece of tech is great , I can keep track of how my body is handling my lifestyle . And I can trust it a lot more than my doctor because of its origin " Dennis said .
" The elves would hate it very much " Dennis takes her jacket and ties it around her waist " You wanna just go home ? " " Sure , I had a lot of fun going out and seeing a lot " they teleported home and Dennis starts learning from the courses she selected while eating some Vis plants that Willow bought for her .
Saver was also making a garden using Dennis's mother's gift to locate where her mother delivered the goods and save it in Dennis's dimensional home .
" So you're planning to go to another world tomorrow ? " " Yep , it's gonna be the summoner world . " " Uhm , what for ? " Dennis takes out a magic source that was accompanied by some shards .
" What is this ? " " I don't know , I was playing around with it and then I thought of using a chain bind spell source . I controlled the spell through the source because I thought it was easier , but when I released my control , it continued to shoot spells from one shard to another "
" ... Do you think you might've made a new artificial lifeform ? " " I don't know , I was playing with garbage and didn't think it would end up like this . I've left it alone for a while and it continues to cast magic "
" Yeah , we should go visit . Want me to give you a referral ? We have some connections with that world ... But I need to rest . Can you loan me some time for extra sleep tonight ? "
Dennis thought of how much she was dragging Willow and said " Sure " Saver gives Willow some time and Dennis continues learning about biology ' Give her some comfort of our bed too '
...
Willow yawned as she got out of the world travel portal " Oh , I had the best sleep last night , almost didn't want to leave it " Willow splashed her face with cold water and dried it off with a towel Dennis gave while they walked .
She yawned , looking at a few churches " So they even have god given familiars " " According to the gift association , they say those beasts are a form of gift too because some wake up with an egg besides them in other new worlds " Dennis said .
" You wish you got an egg instead of your Gift ? " Willow asked " No , as much as I missed having a pet because it got confiscated under the act of all low-intelligent animals being raised by their respective higher-intelligent distant relatives , I don't mind my gift "
' Plus I like Saver more as someone who has their own desires ' Dennis thought " Well , we're not looking for a sacred beast taking the form of a blessing . But do you really think that your "familiar" can be used ? It looks like it should be in a museum "
" I thought so too , but I have a lot of ideas on what to make use of it " ' Too much in fact ' she already had a plan , but just not the necessary knowledge and guidance to execute it .
They both looked at a massive academic institution " Alright , time to go through the formal procedure for maybe the tenth time ? I stopped counting a while ago "
" I wasn't even counting " Dennis filled her information and Willow left her to fill up her information " Thanks , I'm really getting tired of writing my name all the time " Willow said .
Willow starts asking Dennis about her reason for getting to this world and Dennis replies " I have a great idea , I want to do it , it would ease your bodyguard duties . "
" Really , you have a bodyguard who can be as competent as me ? " " Nope , knowing your age , I highly doubt it would be as good as you " " It's the praise I should get for working so hard through my youth , but fighting really gets boring . I prefer to focus on my air quality job . But it looks like you are doing it better and you hoard most of the good air "
" Because I didn't take that job you are handling " " Do you want to take it ? " " No " when it was their turn , they went into a room " So Dennis Debrah , you want a consultation about artificial life ? " a human male wearing a robe and glasses asked .
Dennis nodded " And that elf ? " " Oh , don't worry about me , I'm a very progressive elf , not like those high elders who say your craft is a blasphemy to life " " She's my bodyguard , Now I want to see if this can be turned into a familiar "
Dennis revealed the specimen , which marveled the summoner " This is " " It's a magic source with shards broken from hollowed out magic stones . I was casting the magic through the source and controlling it , but after I released it , it continued this activity of tossing magic from one shard to another . I've also done some tests of my own , like if a shard gets too close enough . "
A shard closes in and eventually starts floating , joining the group of shards that surround it " Magnificent , perhaps it's possible to make this another form of artificial life . It might be coveted because of the ability to cast offensive magic and might give us more options "
The summoner introduced himself now that the consultation progressed so much with the material presented " My name is Runos , Are you perhaps interested in researching ? " " No , researching will keep me bound to this world , I already have some obligations in mine "
' She sure is adapting well with the way she speaks ' Willow thought " Ehh ... I suppose that is understandable " " But I will be willing to trade knowledge , you help me figure out how to turn this into a familiar I can control and then you can understand it's ability more "
" Alright , I'll gather the researchers and I'll waive the consultation fee . " As soon as he leaves , Willow said " He's saying yahoo , Such whimsical sound for a researcher to make "
" Do you think it's possible to create a familiar that can fight like a person ? I ask because I have an idea to make the familiar fight like me " the door opened and someone answered Dennis's question " There is one like the mirror puppets " A small robed summoner said .
The two turned to them and Dennis identified them ' A kobold ' " Dorn , what are you doing ? " Runos said , pulling Dorn by his horn " W-well , they were wondering if there was a familiar that could fight like them , so I suggested the mirror puppets "
" Tell me more about the mirror puppets " Dorn's eyes glistened and later they were inside a room with many mirrors " Sorry , Dorn is a kobold , which in the past era would've been a familiar , but with the bill on our traditional summoner practice , most familiars like him had to find other jobs and because he studied a lot about using kobolds in fighting his interest was focused on creating clones of himself "
Willow looks at the mirror reflecting her , but excludes the distinctive details " So far , it's still a work in progress " Runos commented " But I've gotten really good with these mirrors from that magic world " Dorn said and Willow told Dennis " His world naming is like yours "
" Then do they act like you ? " " They do , but ... They also think I'm the reflection , by the way , reflection is what I'm planning to call these familiars . Mirror puppets were the original spell of the magic world " Dorn said , while Dennis said .
Dennis tries to figure out ways to make use of it and asks Saver ' Do you think we can use one of those mirror shards ? ' Saver didn't know either ' You're right , it might not work . But instead of that , why don't you Save a state of mind ? '
Dennis gives Saver the instructions and asks Dorn about the condition for manifesting a mirror " It's easy , it's a fusion of our basic contract and other world's magic "
Dorn showed it as he manifested a circle of this world's own runes accompanied by others , while Dennis observes it " He's not wrong it is easy as long as you know the runes " Willow said " Yes , magic is a common phenomenon , a few tweaks is all it takes " Runos commented .
Dorn eventually got a reflection out , but that one acted just like him ' So this is what the reflection is based on . ' Saver shows Dennis a magic circle surrounding the mirror shard , ready for use ' Okay , I'll get my mindset ready ' " Runos about the research , I have to be around to do it right ? "
" Yes , you are the one who has discovered this . So your participation is a must " " Dorn , does the reflection have a time limit ? " the two Dorns , both Mirror and real , said .
" Of course , as long as the mirror is supplied with magic , the reflection familiar will remain , but we are still working on a way to make make the contract work because no matter how I changed the runes they act too much like me . "
" Good enough " Dennis faced the mirror and cast the same spell Dorn had , but instead of around her . It was around a mirror shard containing a reflection of her with a different mindset .
" Uhm , Miss Dennis , do you need help for your circle " a reflection of her appeared , but this one lacked detail and didn't have Dennis's gift . Dennis takes out a magic source and some shards " Oh that's right , I'm the Dennis that will do the magic researcher "
" Exactly " Dorn and his reflection were surprised to see Dennis and her reflection talking differently " I don't think I can feel my gift " The reflection said " If you do , maybe it could've destroyed the mirror " " That makes sense "
" WAIT WAIT WAIT ? HOW ? " the Dorns asked " Can you explain it ? You will be staying here for a while " " Sure " the reflection faced Dorn and started explaining .
" I'll leave her to you , she'll be able to work as a researcher " ' By the way , Saver , how much did you let my reflection get ? ' Dennis checked the list ' Oh you sure are smart to remove that . Would it not end up as a clone that kills the original ? '
Dennis continues reading ' That's smart , it could even gather me the knowledge ... You really outdone yourself ' Saver proudly uses a tendril to lightly pat the front of their figure .
' They seem prideful ' " Miss Dennis , please teach me how this works " " It's not something you can learn " " What !? " Dorn felt depressed and Dennis thought of something .
" But there is a thought experiment in which a cat is placed inside a box with poison that it could drink or not . Schrodinger's cat experiment basically means that the cat can be dead or alive unless you confirm it "
Dorn was put into deep thought after hearing about Schrondinger's cat " You can think of me and my reflection as that , the me right now doesn't want to stay , while the me with you is the me that will stay , two possibilities that exist . "
But seeing how deep Dorn was thinking Dennis retreated " I think you broke his little brain " " It's fine , he'll be okay , Runos , take good care of my reflection " " Of course , see you soon , Miss Dennis "
...
They got home to get change while Willow asked " Dennis , is that also part of your gift ? " " Yep , it saved a copy of me that was thinking of staying here . That reflection Dorn has is quite good , since it started acting just like him . "
" Do you not feel bad that you are leaving that reflection a job it was forced too ? " WIllow asked " Most clones are used to do menial tasks like these . Plus , it's an artificial summon , the point of an artificial summon is so that it doesn't have a soul to receive rights . "
" You sound so cruel " Willow teased " I mean , it's not like I don't see the danger and ethical problems . But just because it isn't alive , it's wrong to treat it like it is lower . Because if I had a rule to kill anyone who tries to kill me , then the reflection will also have the same thing "
" So wouldn't that mean that the reflection has your speed ? " " No , I have that removed " " How ? " ' Saver ' " I just thought of it " ' Saver mostly did the thinking , though '
Dennis got dressed while having a lot of ideas for making use of the reflection familiars ' I wonder how long it's going to take for that research to conclude '
" I'm ready " Dennis teleported them , but suddenly they were hit by a wall " Ow " Dennis rubbed her head and looked at the cage of runes " Next time , let's walk "
Dennis looked beyond the wall and saw gryphons flying around in a cargo ship full of containers " Did I offend someone or something ? " a talon hand went through and cuffed Dennis with a power inhibitor , enchanted with a barrier to keep it from breaking .
" Finally , we're gonna get paid " Willow was also suited with a power inhibitor much stronger than Dennis's " Ugh , great " Willow said and saw Dennis sitting still on the ground .
" We should probably wear a rune wall dispelling spell on us when we teleport , might need it to be much stronger if even thugs like these can get one of these for cheap "
Willow taunted " No more talking " The gryphons yelled while Willow continued " From their reaction , it looks like these thugs have a sponsor behind them . Maybe it has to do with your past assailants "
' Normally , Dennis would comment on it , but she hasn't moved yet ' Willow looked around , while Dennis was thinking ' How should I get out ? This power inhibitor is keeping me from doing anything '
She recalls methods in getting rid of it , like finding the key or brute forcing it , she also figured that she could also overload it too ' Although I can't use anything , it seems like I can still cast spells as long as it's within Savings '
She lets herself fall to gravity while Saver makes some suggestions ' No , let's not do that , there could be irreversible damage if we try to overload it . My body , on the other hand , is also going to experience irreversible damage possibly '
She starts talking to Saver in Savings " First , let's see how well the inhibitor can handle my own mana pool's change " Dennis starts Saving all her mana into Savings and feels the inhibitor close in on her mana pool .
She Loads the mana back into her pool quickly and continues this process of Saving and Loading her mana pool ' Perfect , it's slow , but it's also progress ' she started seeing cracks from her action of forcing it to stretch out .
Willow looks at Dennis , letting herself fall and when she lies down , she gets up slowly " Alright , that should do it " Dennis goes to Willow and grabs the inhibitor and disables it with the same method .
" Oh , I don't know how you do it , but you did it " " For now , let's break this rune prison , All you have to do is expand your mana " " Is that like a new thing you just learned ? "
" Yep , the power inhibitors close in when your mana pool is empty . All I did was Save my mana , let the inhibitor shrink and then Load my mana back and expand it to cause the inhibitor to break like a balloon with too much air "
" Oh , I get it " Willow expands her mana and breaks the rune prison as they fall " Does this work ? " Saver saves their gravity and they land safely on the ground before Saver undoes the Save , returning their gravity .
" You take half ? " Willow asked " Fine , so much for having a bodyguard " Plants grew around Willow " Don't you want some experience at least ? " " Fine "
Dennis touched the ground , making it more breakable with Vis as Willow's plants rooted themselves " Thanks and be careful , those containers might have something illegal "
Dennis Loads gas masks and hands one to Dennis " Here you go " " Thanks " an alarm blared and Willow wondered why it took so long " I Loaded some time for us to get ready "
" Oh , how generous , but with how much time you Saved up , that might not be so generous " Gryphons came with spears and tranquilizers ' They really want me alive '
Dennis looks at a container and Saver shows the contents ' Oh slaves ' a dart full of liquid is fired towards her . She Loads her mother's gift and tells Saver ' You can remove Slowpoke '
Inside Saver , several arrows facing down were scrolled through and they picked the one with Dennis's name on it . As soon as they removed it , Dennis let herself get hit by the dart as her body felt the effect of the tranquilizer , the gryphons let their guard down .
As they got close , Dennis regained control after her body metabolized the poison and she kicked her leg forward before sprinting towards the gryphon . They were stunned to see how she was fine and she grabbed one of them before she used her free hand to instant cast a spell to fight the others ' Saver Save this one's time and put back Slowpoke on me '
She cast more spells but reduced the lethality by binding the gryphons with chain binds , stunning them with stun lightning and freezing them with Saver . She goes to the container and asks Saver " Make sure this one doesn't experience the fight "
Saver splits off mini Savers from their body and reinforced the container with a force Saver while a gryphon dropped down , cutting off Dennis's arm with a rune cage .
Saver panicked while Dennis quickly expanded her mana the same way she did and shattered the cage . She picked up her arm and channels Vis to reconnect it while Saver helped fill in the gaps of her knowledge ' Looks like I still need Saver's help for this '
She looked at the giant bipedal gryphon holding the shattered cage with confusion and she switched her exhausted original magic source with the sources stored in Saver " HURRY UP AND CAPTURE HER " the communication yelled .
The gryphon shook his head and Dennis cast several chain binds around , pinning the gryphon down . She backed away as the Gryphon broke free ' Don't worry , it's fine for you not to Load me time , you were busy that time '
Dennis told Saver and cast Stun lightning at the massive gryphon , but it remained ineffective . Willow , who was leisurely capturing gryphons one after another , saw the whole fight , surprised by Dennis's mastery over Piko's Viscraft and thought .
' I wonder if Dennis would take the guy chasing after her as a dating candidate ? ' Dennis thought of how much energy the gryphon has chasing after her like this and thought ' They look sturdy '
Dennis used the sources manifesting the spell formation and started connecting them to each other . Once it was done , she threw her new spell with an added timer on each .
Willow watched the spell wrap around the gryphon and watched it float to the sky as the spell started activating . The gryphon was burned , struck by lightning , chained , poisoned and finally tossed into the sea to be frozen .
She returned to Dennis " That was impressive " " Watch out , those were only the top of the cargo ship " more gryphons got from the lower floors and Willow said " There isn't anything you can learn from these goons "
" Did you get that word from some supervillain movie ? " Dennis cast several stunning lightning spells on the ready while adding chain bind to them " But I get what you mean , I'll handle them , I have a lot of mana to capture them temporarily "
A down arrow was removed from Savings and Dennis dashed towards each of the gryphons , binding them while Saver leaves Time Savers after each spell cast , freezing them by saving their time .
Dennis recycles the chain bind spell after each cast and got all of the gryphons and the boss before bringing all of the gryphons into Savings " You know how to drive a ship "
" I don't , but I can use magic to control it " Willow stretches her plants while Dennis goes around helping Saver distribute force Savers on each container . She returned to Willow , who was waiting and controlling the ship at the front of the ship or the bow .
" I think there was a scene in a romantic movie where the main characters stretched her arm while the man held her " Willow joked " Too bad you can't settle with one with your age "
" So ? I plan to solve the problem of death do us part by heading to the deep centers of the United Worlds . " Willow said " but since I'm still young as an elf , I'm still in my prime years "
" Wouldn't decades be a better measurement of time ? " Dennis commented as they returned to shore " Can you help me make an excuse abscene form , I feel like I'll be doing that very often with how often you will be dragging me around "
" Sure , what do you think about skipping class for the whole day with the excuse of recuperation from battle ? " " Yeah , but I'm gonna need your notes for today's class , actually is there some materials I'm missing on or did you Save the lecture ? "
" I do , I would just not go to class and still get good grades , but it's wasting time in time management " " I thought it was because you wanted to keep appearances " Willow said while Dennis mentions .
" The college specifically says attendance was optional , but it also means that the professors are paid more if they can give materials for those who were absent "
" Do you get any ? " " I do , but it's much better to get it out of the live lectures " " If we are getting a whole day for ourselves , wanna go shopping " " No , better to go to a restaurant and eat a lot . How about some barbeque ? "
" Sure " they ate while they talked " How's the website ? " " The government handled it " ' While Saver is handling use of Save and Load ' " Right now it's only Save and Load , but the Slowpoke is being developed "
" But how would you Load time ? " " You simply just move faster " " So theoretically , you can become a speedster ? " " Only if you have enough time to move fast , but there is a limit on what the the website can do . Like good wifi to stretch the limits of my gift to my level "
" So in the end , they can access your gift with money and effort ? " " Exactly " Willow imagined how Society would move with Dennis's gift " It seems like you are inventing something new that will become an integral part of society "
' Well , Saver did ' " Haha , yeah " Saver pats Dennis at the back of her head while she wears a hood participating in a downloaded course from the brain world " So , you planning to go to another world ? "
" Yep , card world " " Oh , you must be talking about that world with a god that has yet to reveal themselves . It's under suspicion as a higher being who provides gifts because most of the blessed skills are strange "
" Is it also because they had an apocalyptic event called the card rain , which contained skills , knowledge , artifacts of the past ? " " Yeah , there are theories that this god likely tapped into the history of that world and others to create cards related to the past of different worlds . As of now , there has yet to be another of those rains , but it has grown to a religion that matches other worlds "
Willow then asked Dennis " So why would you want to go there? Is it because you can purchase them ? Or are you planning to turn the magic source into cards ? "
An idea then pops into Willow's mind , and she asked " Really ? " " Are you thinking of what I'm thinking " " I feel like I do , but I also feel like I don't " " You're right , I was thinking if it was possible to make copies of skill cards , but I was also thinking of making copies of artifact cards "
" You're crazy ambitious , you know " " It's just a thought , but that wouldn't be possible . My skill only makes copies of information , not things " Willow let out a sigh of relief " For a second , I thought you were serious "
' Me too , Saver . Try not to put a huge burden on yourself . It is a good idea if the whole world is just a dream of a much higher being , but if it isn't , maybe you can ask for inspiration if you find one , just try not to go insane when you see one '50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRy5daI4jI
