Exploring the Dimension After Reincarnation: Academic

New Contacts in the New World

“Hah..., will this forest not come to an end? I've been so exhausted constantly down this forest.” A sigh from Elena as she passed through the path of the forest.

‘It's been a few hours since I went into the forest. Right now, I have found a path that seems to take me to go out of this forest. Besides, I still haven't found any traces of civilization other than this path, but at least I know that existences often pass through this path until it forms a path.’

‘One of my problems now is.’ Elena raised her head upwards at the gray cloudy sky. ‘At this time the sky has started to cloudy and dark, the natural energy in my body is not enough, and I do not know the distance I have to go. In the worst possible case, I might have to be inside this forest for an entire night.’

Elena lowered her head and continued, ‘It wouldn't be a problem if I was in normal condition - - a moment when I had a lot of natural-energy. But with only a little energy and not being able to recover it, I think it will be a pretty gripping night for me in the wilderness. I'd prefer if I didn't have to take this option.’

‘In addition, most likely in this world there will be intelligent beings even though I still do not make sure they are human or not. How would I know? That's because the forest here looks well preserved. The trees are getting here getting smaller and not too old, also they seem to have been arranged in a row.’

‘Tree that is not too old, shows if there are people in the area there who deliberately trim large trees and too old. If old trees at the end of life are not pruned, young trees will not get enough sunlight to photosynthesize so they are less fertile, and the old trees will die in the near future, make forest ecosystems a little chaotic.’

‘Oh, there are extras too. I don't find any wild animals around here. I can assume, aa who's been hunting them down, so the place here is safer. This becomes additional evidence if there are intelligent beings in this world and they can already form civilizations. I hope, they don't have any ill intentions for newcomers like-.’

*bang!* *bruk!*

As Elena was daydreaming about various things regarding this world, suddenly a foot landed right on her face. Elena who was unexpected and shocked because of this, she fell to the ground with a face that looked in pain without any resistance or anticipation.

If only this was in the middle of a fight when Elena put up her vigilance and focus, then she would be able to avoid this easily. However, it is different from when he is not focused and daydreaming.

“Hei! Waita minute! You'll be mine!” shouted a boy who did such a cruel thing to Elena while running away in the opposite direction from Elena, as if chasing something.

Elena slowly stood up with her facial expression that formed a severe frown and a cynical eye gaze. This incident was so infuriating to her that she thought that she would tear apart the person who did this to her if only Elena had enough natural energy.

“Grr! If I met him, I would definitely give a tonjokkan for him!” Elena growled as she clenched her fists and the throbbing veins on her forehead. “I, the one who was thought to be one of the strongest people there, who would dare to step on my face! I know, my beauty is average and up to standard, but that doesn't mean I'm happy with this kind of treatment!”

Immediately, a strong wind blew around Elena.

“Ugh, are there any sufficiently powerful creatures in this world?” Elena crossed her arms and tried to stand in this fierce wind.

In the sky just above Elena, a fire eagle with its red-orange feathers with fire blazing all over its body and having a wingspan of 2 meters each began to descend. Elena had calculated that the bird would land in front of her, so she had absolutely no need to worry over this matter. Rather than that, Elena questioned more about the person standing on top of the bird.

The man was seen as an 18-year-old man, wearing a white jacket with a red fireball and black pants with a red flame pattern, his hair bright red, and orange eyes, and his skin is a bit dark brown.

‘Woah! Rarely does the author create a character with dark skin color. Will this story end soon after? Really, something very out of my prediction,’ this is what Elena thought when she saw the figure.

“Are you okay? It seems like my little brother did something bad when he forcibly descended while at a height. I'm really very sorry for my sister's very disrespectful and brazen behavior.” The man lowered his head, quite convincing as someone who was sorry.

‘Which way maybe I'm okay! Now, I really want to put it in a pond filled with crocodiles and piranhas! Relax, I'm not that bad until I'm gonna tell him this. But honestly, I did want to do this kind of thing to her. I'm so angry at this time,’ Inner Elena.

“It's okay, it's okay, it wasn't too painful and he didn't hit my vital part, so it's okay, hehe.” Elena gave a dry laugh to try to melt the atmosphere there before continuing, “Which is more important, can you start by introducing yourself? It would be very difficult if I had to call you “Kamu” or “You” when we communicate.”

“Sure, fine if you don't mind.” He lifted his head and faced Elena, and said, “I am Pyro Kai, you can just call me Kai because it's easier. I am a “Trainer” and am looking for “Penther” with my sister in this forest. And You?”

‘Wah, just arrived in this world I've got two new words with a fairly long definition. In essence, the Penther is an animal that can create magical phenomena using something called a Centher - similar to natural energy but not usable by humans - while the Trainer herself is the one who trains the Penther. Xenoglossy is indeed one of the passive abilities that are very comfortable when in another world. And again, I don't have to worry about this language difference.’

“I am Elena Madison, just a normal explorer. Just a moment ago, I walked into this forest and instead ended up getting lost, then found a path and followed it. By the way, you can call me Elena to make it easy. I'm not a dangerous girl at all, kok,” Elena's short introduction that feels long.
