Chapter 201: Why Are You Always Finding Bugs? Did You Make This Chat Group Yourself?
Tokiomi Tohsaka stared at this scene, utterly stunned.
Was this really something his own daughter did?
Right now, Tokiomi was in shock—was that imaginary number magecraft?
"Take good care of her. If you ever try to give her away again, I'll flatten your whole house."
"I honestly don't know what's wrong with your brain. Your own daughter is so talented, and you actually sent her off to that old geezer?"
"Wouldn't it have been better to just send her to the Clock Tower?"
"Seriously, you're such an idiot!"
After this scathing rant, Takumi lost interest in Tokiomi.
He went straight to Sakura's side and said,
"Sakura, I'm going to go now."
"If anything happens, remember to contact me at any time."
Takumi patted Sakura on the head, then faded away into the air, dispersing his consciousness across worlds.
Still, Takumi left a few safeguards inside Sakura, just in case something happened to her.
After Takumi had completely disappeared, Tokiomi finally climbed up from the ground.
Though he was battered and bruised, his face was full of excitement.
His daughter, it seemed, had stumbled into some incredible good fortune.
This was wonderful!
Sakura glanced at her father but said nothing—she just stood there quietly.
"Come on, let's go home!"
Tokiomi no longer cared about his injuries.
Right now, he just wanted to take Sakura back.
But Sakura wasn't paying attention to him.
Instead, her attention was on the group chat.
Matou Sakura:
[Thank you, Takumi-oniichan!!]
[Once I've got enough points, I'll bring Mom and Sister to immigrate!]
Little Sakura was so excited—she'd already made up her mind.
When the time came, she'd just take her mother and sister and leave.
Takumi:
[Great! I'll be waiting for you.]
[Make sure you master all the knowledge I left you.]
[Come train with me when you're ready.]
Matou Sakura:
[Okay, Takumi-oniichan!]
Fujiwara Chika:
[What happened just now? Did you actually go to that world?]
Seeing the conversation between Takumi and Sakura, Chika was confused.
What was going on? Did Takumi really visit Sakura's world?
Takumi:
[No, not really.]
[I just sent a portion of my consciousness over there.]
[I discovered I could use the group chat as a medium to control a consciousness in another world.]
[So now, even when traveling between worlds, I don't need to spend points anymore!]
Takumi felt extremely pleased with this.
All he had to do was turn his Authority into a core, send it out, and then control it through the chat group.
From now on, if he wanted to visit another world, he wouldn't even have to spend any points!
Houraisan Kaguya:
[Can nobody stop you? Are you just obsessed with breaking bugs?]
Good grief, really, good grief.
Another bug?
Why does he always find these bugs?
Suoh Mikoto:
[That's a little outrageous.]
Miori Shiba:
[Is that even possible?]
Raiden Mei:
[Could we get Shiki to do this too?]
The group was in shock—was this really possible?
Mei was even wondering if they could get Shiki to do the same thing.
When it came to manipulating consciousness, Shiki was an expert.
Takumi:
[@Raiden Mei, it's just a thought.]
[She can't do it, since she's not in the group.]
If you're not in the group, you can't use Takumi's method.
So it was really just wishful thinking—nothing to consider seriously.
Mei was a little disappointed but didn't say anything else.
Even if it was possible, she didn't really have any reason to try it.
Takumi chatted with everyone in the group for a while, then flashed away from the moon and returned home.
His new Authority was done, and he'd even discovered a new bug in the process—he was feeling great.
He was even stronger now.
Back at home, Miori Shiba had already prepared dinner, and everyone else was there—Bronya, Fujiwara Chika, and others.
"So, you're all here?"
Takumi was a bit surprised.
"Of course!"
"We came to see Miori—and for dinner."
Takumi rolled his eyes.
"Have you reported to school yet?"
"Can you handle the classes here?"
"If you don't understand something, just go to Aincrad and train. Today, I've already incorporated Loki's blessing system there."
Takumi sat down and chatted with the new exchange students about these things.
If they couldn't keep up academically, they could just head into Aincrad to train and learn through the system.
Everyone blinked.
"That's what we're planning."
"To be honest, all those theoretical lessons have us really confused, so we're just going to focus on the basics first, then go for hands-on training."
Even though their grades were good, when it came to learning magic, it was pretty tough.
Most students at the school started with the basics before moving on to real combat practice.
Takumi nodded.
"Yeah, that works too."
Honestly, it might really be a challenge for them, since they were starting from zero.
After thinking for a moment, Takumi continued,
"Or, you could just buy some basic magic knowledge in the group shop."
"That would save you from having to study so much, and you could jump right into combat."
That would be even faster.
Those magic knowledge packs only cost a few hundred points anyway.
Fujiwara Chika froze.
"Oh, right!!"
"How did I forget there's a chat group store? And you've uploaded stuff there!"
"We've all got points now!!"
Chika was amazed—how did she forget about this?
She immediately opened the group chat and bought the knowledge she needed.
So did everyone else.
"So, tomorrow, we go train in Aincrad?"
After buying what she needed, Asuna looked at everyone else.
Just thinking about returning to that place…
It felt like revisiting the old scene from the game.
"I'm fine with that!"
"Let's just go."
Chika was overjoyed—this way, they'd save a lot of time.
All they had to do was focus on training.
"The more time we save, the better."
"That's the best plan."
"Try to gain as much power as you can during summer break."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to participate in the next round of missions!"
Takumi shrugged.
The regular folks in the group were still too weak.
Their summer break wouldn't last forever.
