Exploring the Dimension After Reincarnation: Academic

Hollow Forest

The mission the Association gave brought Elena and Nana to the Hollow Forest. They haven't arrived yet. The two transit to the nearby town of Hollow Forest. The place they were going to was dangerous. Not all trainers who go there return. This registration will make it easier to record anyone who dies. Although dangerous, there must still be people who want to go to dangerous places to get equal rewards. High risk high return.

“Beautiful morning with a thin mist cools the eyes. But no matter how clear the glass, there must be someone who stains it. Why are you here, you unwaiting enemy?” Elena's eyes looked at Fedora, the enemy she had fought while in the ancient ruins. His lips lifted with a stiff smile.

“Indeed why? I can show up anywhere, ‘kan?” Fedora smiled subtly. He won in this provocation.

“Eh? Do you two know each other?” ask Nana who knows nothing.

“Really I know her, I really hate her,” Elena said using a poetic tone. “He is a member of Black Night Company, our enemy both.”

“Then why not be attacked?”

“We're in the crowd. Can you imagine if he blew this place up? Many people will be involved!” obviously Elena. He grunts.

The three of them were waiting at the counter. In the front, back, as well as the right and left lane there are many crispy low-level Trainers to be hostages.

“Truly speaking Dinda. Shouldering disaster will not be right,” Fedora said.

“What's calling ‘Dinda’? I'm Elena. Don't be a poetic ass,” Elena chirps. “Nih Author certainly can not write poetry but sok-sokan can. I can read his mind!”

“Ya sorry. Did you start using poetic tone yourself? I think I should also use a poetic-sounding word equivalent,” Fedora said.

“Bail, fine. Just ignore that.” Elena looked at the man in the hat. “So what brings you here, Antagonist? I can guess if you want to take the Fruit of Evolution but I I'll husnuzan first.”

“Your guess is right, really. I want to take the Fruit of Evolution in the Hollow Forest. We are racing to get it!” Fedora clenched her hands while showing a smile. It was a competitive smile like two people challenging each other.

“Do not be familiar, deh. I already have a potential husband,” Elena replied without interest.

“Eh? Did ya? How old are you, Elena?” ask Nana.

“Do not ask! Understand?” Elena released an intimidating air that made Nana feel a chill run down her back. Even the other Trainer who had nothing to do also felt that domineering pressure.

“Wah, whoa…. As expected of someone who could overwhelm me. I doubt if you are a normal human being.” Fedora could still stand quietly with the same smile.

Elena turned to him and replied, “I am 100% an ordinary human, you know.” Although with the addition of another world— added Elena in the mind.

These lines are long enough to keep them standing for hours. At least it does not feel boring with the two of them who reciprocate dialogue. Finally their turn came, then Fedora who first advanced. She said, “We will definitely meet again~” before she disappears into the shady trees. Elena pouted because of that. He was very quick, because he used Accel, filling out forms. He also filled out Nana's form.

“D-Dek Elena? Isn't this too fast?” Nana's mouth opened and trembled.

“Completed…. Come in!” He smiled brightly at Nana. Behind it was an enormous aura of annoyance to beat Fedora.

“You provoked again this story?” elena asked with an annoyed face.

“So much as to how you respond. For sure we are already inside the Hollow Forest. You must know what that means, right?” fedora.

“It doesn't matter if we kill each other. Of course I know what you mean,” Elena replied.

There are often people lost in these woods. Making a killing inside here is easy. Most likely there will be a wild penther that will eat the corpse of the victim and the perpetrator will not be found.

“We just got in here and you're already going to kill people. Is there nothing else to do but kill?” chirp Elena.

“Ngak too, really. I am a busy man, I have a lot of work. I was told to do this and do that. A lot anyway. But well, I'm sure you'll definitely be a troublesome distraction. That's why I'll beat you.” Fedora pointed her index finger at Elena.

“Troubt it..,” muttered Elena.

From Elena's right hand, a black peg appeared. He advanced using the dual speed of the Accel Aya skill. Lifting the black peg, he almost managed to decapitate Fedora, but ….

*dar!*

The shot of the bluish light ball came at Elena from her side. He was deft enough to jump back before the attack hit him.

Elena landed. His eyes were looking in the bushes at the penther who had just attacked him. Then he focused on Fedora and said, “I'm too naive to think you have no plans to beat me.”

“Of course, I've made plans,” replied Fedora lightly. “This place is Hollow Forest, emptiness forest. The penther-penther inside here is a ghost-type penther. In addition to being the strongest type of penther and closest to either there is one thing unique to their attitude compared to other penthers. Do you know?”

“Sorry, sorry, yes, but I'm not a penther expert. I'm also not an IPA kid,” Elena replied with flat eyes. He demands answers.

“Oh, is that it? I thought you were smarter, but you didn't know anything. It's my fault for thinking you know,” Fedora said.

Elena shook her head with a wry smile. This time, this guy made her angry. A sign appeared above his head. He tightly gripped the black peg in his right hand. Suppose it was the neck of the man in front of him….

“Penther type ghost has a different level of strength and intelligence than ordinary penther. One of their highest egos is about saving lives. That's why when someone tries to kill, they are attacked by them. Why do you think there's no murder here? Because even if there's a culprit to die. And since you've been trying to kill me, they're going after you,” Fedora explained.

Several penthres sprung from the empty air. They have a transparent blue body. Each wore a shabby cloth robe and each bowed. Their anatomy is more or less the same as that of a human with a misty lower body.

“Alright, I'll excuse you.” Fedora walked away. He walks in leisurely.

“Heh, it looks like stepping on the grass alone will provoke them, yes,” muttered Elena.
