Sixteenth Basket of Mantaos

Imagine being forced to live, after death, as incorporeal bodies trapped in a vast space of nothingness for thousands of years, with nothing to do but exchanging past memories with other cohabitants (read: weirdos).  Everybody wanted out, but there was no way to leave the Void... 
Until one day, a young man was finally summoned, as a powerful but reluctant mentor, by a bubbly and motivated but completely naive young girl. Baiyi, finally out of the Void, was the only one who could save all of the other 32 souls from their prison and his summoner might just be The Key to their freedom.
However, Baiyi had to use the techniques and abilities the other souls had taught him throughout the years, and together with his own extensive knowledge of anime and game tropes from his shady and dangerous past as an otaku, to face the biggest challenge of them all: training the clumsy young girl he was forced to partner up with… into a competent sorcerer!

Why Did You Summon Me？

When Baiyi arrived, Vice President Grant hurried forward, ready to greet, and shook the Soul Armature's hand. "Everyone's almost here; please take a seat," he said before nodding courteously at Tisdale, who stood beside Baiyi.

Afterward, without further ado, he turned and led the pair into the hall.

'Huh. To go straight to the point like that, he really is worried,' Baiyi observed. VP Grant loved to prattle incessantly — in an attempt to appear amiable and easygoing. To Baiyi, making "small talk" with the man in no way indicated that the conversation would be short.

Today, however, VP Grant had skipped all of that, leading them into the hall instead. It was a subtle change, but it was enough to highlight the urgency.
