Exploring the Dimension After Reincarnation: Academic

The Tail that Releases the Tail

The person who had just emerged from the portal was from the enemy stronghold. They became alert to his presence. Alex pulls out a sword, Yovanca takes a dagger, Theresa a blood bow, and Sophia stretches out blood wings. Morgan was wide open to see the person who invited him here. As for Noctis, he remained flat regardless with both hands crossed in front of his chest.

“Da-Peace! I came here with peaceful intent!”

“Wah.so who can too, huh? Ask for peace if you meet the enemy but rhyme while here do not say anything,” said Sophia.

“Yes-Well, I can't deny, anyway.” Dwa laughed dryly. “But, are you barbaric creatures that will attack as you like?”

“Enough!” noctis lirih. His sharp gaze showed an intimidation that could not be underestimated at all. Dwa who was many meters away from him until he trembled. “Tell what your wishes and goals are here.”

“I-Iya,” said Dwa stuttered, “So, as you know, I deliberately absorbed the sunlight on this Indigo Island. The goal is simple, I just want to gather energy for backup in the future. Remember: Save rich base.”

“Keep, why should we make peace?” ask Noctis. “Will be faster if I kill you right now. This novel will be finished.”

“Wah. don't be so lah~. It's not exciting if it's over,” said Dwa, “But there's a reason why you guys better not kill me. Easily, if you attack me, I will release the energy from this ball and blow up the entire island. There's still people here. Even though I'm sure you won't get hurt and still survive. But do you guys not care—"

"No, I don't care" Noctis said. "If you want to kill them all, go ahead. I, a spirit who has lived for thousands of years and wandered through hundreds of worlds, have been accustomed to seeing hundreds of thousands of deaths. Most of them are ruthless killers. Not stopping to kill, the victims were tortured with inhumane torture. The men were hired to death, the women played before being killed, and the children were put into a poison gas chamber. I can close my eyes to hundreds of potential victims of the explosion you're about to do."

All silent, Noctis became the center of attention.

"Okay, I don't think I can threaten you well."

'Threatening well is what, huh?' think Theresa and Sophia together.

"So how? You wanna fight?" ask Yovanca. Still with a smile. He was like offering iced tea to a porters who were resting.

Dea clogged his words. A fight? Obviously not. It won't be a fight, it will be a massacre with him as the slaughtered. Plus, he was just bluffing. Even if it was true that he detonated the energy from the orb, he himself calculated that the explosion would not be enough to blow up the entire island.

"Well, how are you?" Dwa makes a coughing sound. Then he began to say, "This is how I am, in fact, a peace-loving person. Not a barbarian who likes to fight and ruin your kind. So, yeah, I'm gonna back off for today. Was it first, huh? Have a nice day~"

Dwa turned to look at Noctis. "A-Anu, I want to leave peacefully. Can't it?"

"Eh... You want to go, huh?" Noctis grins. A creepy look and a grinning mouth lead to Dwa. "Since when did watashi (/\= I — Japanese; Noctis sok wibu here) allow Panjenengan (/\= You; respectful form second person pronouns — Javanese) go?"

"Can't do it, huh?"

"It's not okay, I just want to ask you about my friend who disappeared. You know where he is." Noctis's style of speech made polite.

Formal language style, in addition to showing politeness, can also be interpreted as maintaining distance. When someone uses a formal language style and seems polite, there are several possibilities. First, its use as a sign of respect, or secondly, he uses it as a form of distance keeping, which means he is angry. And Noctis, he's the type who uses formal language in the second choice. He's angry, right.

"Well, sa— a-I'll say everything…." Resignedly. There's nothing Dwa can do.

Dwa completely leaked everything she knew about Elena's whereabouts. He himself did not know in detail about where Elena was, but rather he could tell about where Elena was in the world. That's no longer a problem. At least they got a bright spot regarding where Elena was. This is much better than having to search in a world that is millions or even limitless out there.

Then to Dwa, Noctis let her go. At least he still has his life.

"Okay, let's go! Let's go see the little girl, right away" Noctis asked.

"Yey~" Theresa became the only one to respond in a carefree tone.

"Sorry, I'm not coming. I have to report this matter to the King" Alex said.

"Beta is not coming. Looks like the ride ahead is too dangerous for the beta!" said Morgan.

"Alright well, I'll send you guys somewhere else."

Noctis opened the portal and let the two men go.
