Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 683 Real Reason

Since they were done and Kuroka had already taught them how to rent the rooms and facilities through the lobby by using Magic Stones and Valis, Kisuke decided to leave them alone and return to Yoruichi.

But before the two could leave, Tenestra called out to Kisuke, “Please wait!””What is it, Tenestra-san?”, asked Kisuke as he turned around.

“I don’t want to miss this opportunity! Please teach me Magic!”

However, Kisuke shook his head, “I’m sorry, but things have changed these past three weeks. If I wasn’t too busy with my own things, I would have taught you some things, but time is not on my side so I can only have one student at a time for now.”

Tenestra felt extremely dejected when she heard that, but she also understood, “So you’re also busy with your own research. It’s true, when you make an unexpected advancement, you’ll have almost no time for anything else.”

All of a sudden, a white card suddenly flew to her face and she hurriedly caught it. “What’s this?”, she asked while she inspected what Kisuke threw at her.

“An access card of the library. Within it are basics about Magic Theory that you won’t find anywhere else and some other topics that you might be interested in. That card will also allow you to enter the room beyond it, which is a small laboratory and training room where you can confirm your findings. It’s complete with materials that you may use at your own discretion but once they are depleted, you’ll have to provide the materials yourself until I replenish them myself. Same as before, bring it to your forehead to get the instructions on how to use it.”

Tenestra’s cheerfulness immediately returned and she ran off towards the library that Kuroka showed them earlier, “Thank you very much! I’ll be sure to use it well!”

Carys looked at the running Tenestra and asked, “Is that fine? I’m not saying that you shouldn’t, but whenever she experiments on something, that something explodes most of the time.”

“It’s fine. That’s a normal occurrence for me, too. If you’re worried about her being alone in that room if an accident were to happen, please rest easy. That room was designed to take a beating while protecting the people inside to a certain degree. But I doubt her experiments would cause an explosion big enough to obliterate the whole training area.”

Curious, Yeena asked, “Why are you supporting her? Although she succeeded this one time, it was only because you taught her and she might not see any success this time now that you’ve left her to her own devices. We supported her because she’s our precious comrade and we can see that she enjoys what she’s doing, but what about you?”

She asked this because she was extremely concerned about what Kisuke wanted from Tenestra and in an attempt to find out why he willingly invested in something that could result in nothing.

Rubbing his beard, Urdor interjected, “Isn’t it because the lass is a genius? She succeeded on something that was thought to be impossible, after all.”

Everyone reached the lobby and Kisuke turned to them with a big smile, “Genius or not, I don’t really care. On the contrary, it’s because she’s stupid that I chose to support her. She’s stupid enough to question common sense. Well then, everyone, we need to leave as there are still things that we have to accomplish. Have a good day and enjoy your stay.”

Kisuke and Kuroka went straight to the back of the lobby, leaving the stunned group, “Stupid enough to question common sense, huh… Now that he said it that way, it may have been the real reason why Tenestra was able to succeed in the first place. Because she tried to tackle what was thought to be impossible.”, murmured Carys.

Urdor then turned around and started walking.

“Where are you going?”, asked Chris.

“To the workshop. There are some things I wanted to try but I stopped because I thought that it was a ridiculous and impossible idea.”, replied Urdor without turning around, ‘That might have also been the cause of my stagnation. Instead of improving my skills, I instead looked for better materials to make something better. I shouldn’t have succumbed to the helplessness of not being able to do it because I deemed it a useless effort.’

“Looks like those few simple words awakened something from the old man. Look at his eyes. It looks like he’s ready to kill himself.”, commented Yeena with a chuckle.

Carys sighed. She really envied people like Urdor and Tenestra who had something they were passionate about. She too had it, but it was for battle, a large contradiction to the usual temperament and instinct of a Cow Person. Unlike their passion for creating something better, hers was a destructive passion.

Shaking her head of useless thoughts, she instructed, “Let’s accommodate everyone for now and wait for the surge of people. We’ll have to stabilize the crowds first before we can do what we want on this floor.”

Kisuke and Kuroka reached the room where Yoruichi was resting and saw her sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed and her kodachi silently floating in front of her.

The two then went straight towards the table at the corner and sat down. After Kisuke prepared the tea for the two of them, Kuroka suddenly asked after taking a sip, “So what’s the real reason you made this place noisy?”

After sipping his own tea, Kisuke answered, “I’m creating a forest for my tree.”

Kuroka didn’t say anything and digested Kisuke’s words, ‘He didn’t really intend to hide his abilities anymore from the masses so there’s only one conclusion. He wanted to increase the noise in his surroundings to avoid detection from that Chaos guy. But all of this is just a thin mist?’

Kuroka sighed, “All of this for such a small difference?”

However, Kisuke just smiled, “It’s indeed a very small difference, but nevertheless, it’s still something I could do, so why not? No matter how small, it’s still something that could tilt the favor to our side, which may make a massive difference in the end.”

Kuroka chuckled, “I guess that’s true. Maybe I’m just not used to doing such a big thing for such a small result. Hmm… What can I say, nyaa? It really suits you.”

Kisuke and Kuroka then talked about other random things and enjoyed the rare tranquility.

An hour later, Yoruichi finally woke up and grabbed her kodachi, “I want some tea too.”
