Chapter 455

Ayaka Kamisato looked at Takumi. She shook her head.

"I don't have much to do these days. The purchase of food has been completed. What I usually have to do is receive shipments from Inazuma, check for any missing goods, and then hand them over to Liyue. However, people from Inazuma have been coming recently, so I don't need to do these tasks."

She paused and looked at Takumi before continuing, "Maybe I will go back to Inazuma to help after a while."

There was a slight sadness in her tone, but Takumi didn't pay much attention.

"I see. Oh, I understand now. But it doesn't matter if you go back. Now that teleportation waypoints are available, traveling isn't an issue. I remember there's a waypoint right in front of your house. If you want to visit, it's very simple."

Reminded by Takumi, Ayaka suddenly realized.

Yes.

There was now a teleportation waypoint. Distance was no longer a problem. She could come anytime she wanted. Thinking of this, the reluctance in her heart faded instantly, and she smiled.

"Right. When I go back to Inazuma, if there's nothing else, I might return to Liyue again. Kokomi has learned a lot at school. I also plan to study for a while."

Since distance was no longer an issue, Ayaka no longer felt reluctant. She glanced at Takumi, her eyes curving into crescent moons, feeling happy.

Hearing that Ayaka Kamisato planned to study, Takumi nodded. There was nothing wrong with that.

Speaking of which, shouldn't he also send Klee and the others to school?

However, that group was still exploring the Chasm. He would wait until they returned before deciding.

Yae Miko and the others stayed at Takumi's place for a while. After dinner, they left.

The next day, Takumi and Keqing returned to Liyue Harbor and went directly to the Jade Chamber.

"How's it going? Have you selected the candidates?" Takumi asked, referring to those chosen to receive the blank Visions.

Ningguang looked up from her work and glanced at Takumi and Keqing.

"I've already chosen. From the Qianyan Army, I selected those with strong desires and good conduct. They have already begun preparations."

She had been preparing for this for the past few days.

Hearing this, Takumi nodded. "Then let's proceed. Let them touch the blank Visions. We'll do it now."

There was no need to delay. Ningguang nodded, tidied up her desk, and stood up. She then walked out with Takumi and Keqing, heading toward the Qianyan Army's barracks. The candidates were already gathered there, waiting for Takumi to distribute the Visions.

As they walked, Takumi suddenly asked about Yelan. "Have you made arrangements for Yelan's position as Tianshu? Have you spoken with her?"

Keqing also turned her attention to Ningguang. She was aware of this matter since Ningguang had discussed it with her beforehand. Replacing one of the Seven Stars was no small matter.

Ningguang nodded. "I've already spoken to the current Tianshu. He's fine with it. But Yelan said she needs time to think about it."

Hearing this, Takumi was slightly taken aback. "She needs time to think? Tell her to decide quickly so we can finalize this."

Ningguang sighed. "Most people would jump at the chance, but she insists on considering it first."

Takumi shook his head but didn't dwell on it. "She can think about it, but she has no choice. Whether she likes it or not, she's going to be Tianshu."

The three of them arrived at the Qianyan Army barracks while chatting. Seeing Ningguang arrive, the officer in charge immediately rushed over.

"Call over those who were selected earlier," Ningguang ordered.

"Yes, Lady Ningguang!" the officer replied and quickly ran off.

Shortly after, the selected soldiers arrived.

Ningguang turned to Takumi, who nodded in acknowledgment. He glanced at the group and used the Herrscher of Knowledge's power to analyze them. There were no issues with their conduct—they were all upright and honest individuals.

Without hesitation, Takumi took out a box filled with blank Visions.

The Qianyan soldiers watching were stunned.

Goodness!

So many blank Visions all at once?

"One per person. Take it," Takumi instructed as he placed the box down.

Among the group of thirty soldiers, there were both men and women. Hearing Takumi's words, they hesitated momentarily before stepping forward in an orderly fashion to collect their blank Visions.

At that moment, excitement and nervousness filled their faces. After all, this was a Vision—the very thing many people dreamed of obtaining.

However, they were also anxious.

Would they be able to activate it?

Takumi, Ningguang, and Keqing stood by, observing as the soldiers received their Visions. Ten had been distributed so far, but none had activated it immediately.

Takumi felt slightly disappointed.

He had hoped at least one person would activate it on the spot—just like Ningguang had. She had initially planned to sell her blank Vision, but it activated the moment she touched it.

Just as Takumi was feeling regretful, a young soldier picked up a blank Vision from the box. The moment he touched it, the Vision burst into light.

Takumi, Ningguang, and Keqing were all surprised.

"Finally! The first activation!" Takumi said, nodding in satisfaction.

The young soldier looked at his glowing Vision in disbelief. It activated as soon as he touched it?

"Amazing! Stand aside for now," Takumi instructed.

The young soldier, still overwhelmed with excitement, nodded and stepped aside, studying his Vision curiously.

The light faded, revealing that his Vision had turned into a Hydro Vision.

Ningguang and Keqing exchanged glances.

Would there be more?
