He used the third Random World Teleportation Talisman.
He didn't even bother returning home.
As for the people in this world?
Forget it. He wasn't interested.
For the third jump, Takumi was transported to a deserted island.
First thing he did was search for a network.
This place seemed to be another modern world.
A very ordinary modern world.
After browsing a bit, Takumi finally understood the true meaning behind the Random Teleportation Talisman:
Truly. Freaking. Random!
Chapter 448: The Art Style Feels Off
This time, Takumi had arrived in a world so ordinary it couldn't be more ordinary.
If he didn't know better, he'd think he had returned to his original world.
He scoured the entire internet of this world, but found absolutely nothingno anime character names, nothing familiar.
Even if there were matching names, they didn't belong to the same people.
If not for the differences in country names, Takumi would've sworn he was back home.
He looked up at the satellites in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.
At that moment, someone in the chat group messaged him.
Chika Fujiwara: [@takumi, what kind of world did you end up in this time?]
With the spirit kings helping everyone create their own spirits, and nothing else to do, Chika got curious and asked.
Takumi still had several Random World Teleportation Talismans. Now that he had used another one, where did it send him?
Takumi: [First, I landed in Tokyo Ghoul's world, but there was nothing worth taking, so I used a third one.]
[And damn it, the third Random World Teleportation Talisman dumped me into a completely ordinary world.]
[If not for the country names being different, I'd think I went back to my hometown!!]
Takumi vented his frustration in the chat.
It was damn ridiculous.
Kaguya Houraisan: [Well, it is random~!]
[You should count yourself lucky.]
[You still have a World Locator Talisman, right? Have you decided how to use it?]
Seeing Takumi's rant, Kaguya chuckled.
It's random, after all.
Landing in a familiar world now and then is already lucky.
Landing in an ordinary world is more like the norm.
There was no need for regrets.
With so many worlds across the multiverse, how could they all be anime worlds?
Takumi: [Forget it, not gonna think too hard.]
[As for the locator, I've decidedI'm going to The Irregular at Magic High School!]
[Gonna snag some techno-magic!]
He had already made up his mind about how to use the World Locator Talisman.
Head to Mahouka.
Chika Fujiwara: [Shiba Tatsuyaif he won't hand it over, we'll make him!!]
[Hehehe!!]
Sagiri: [Can you bring back the Saegusa girl?]
[I want her!!]
[Hehehe~!]
Kaguya Houraisan: [You want techno-magic?]
[Why not go to Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha??]
Techno-magic exists in Nanoha's world too, right?
That world was even more advanced technologically.
Plus, it had the Time-Space Administration Bureau.
Clearly, going there would be more profitable.
Takumi: [The art style feels off...]
Reading Kaguya's suggestion, Takumi instinctively replied.
Everyone reading that just went speechless.
Seriously? "The art style feels off"?
Weren't all worlds the same once you stepped into them? You think this is still anime?
Megumi Kato: [Actually... Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle wouldn't be a bad choice.]
[That world also has countless dimensions.]
Megumi suddenly dropped the name of an old series.
Takumi was a bit surprised.
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, huh?
That world was actually quite goodand full of valuable stuff.
It had a lot of dimensional worlds.
And even an adult version of Princess Tomoyo!!
Nyarlathotep: [Sakura!!]
[The original Moe Queen, adult version!!]
[Go!! Please take me with you!!]
Nyarlathotep suddenly popped out.
She wanted to go too!
Takumi: [Hell no!]
[Maybe another time. This time, it's Mahouka.]
Takumi rejected her outright.
Don't even think about it.
Once Takumi made up his mind, it wouldn't change.
And he had no plans to take Nyarlathotep.
With that thought, Takumi pulled out the World Locator Talisman.
He entered the destination: Mahouka.
Once the name was input, Takumi's figure vanished from the island.
Only a faint trace of his presence was left behind.
...
When Takumi reappeared, he had already arrived in the world of The Irregular at Magic High School.
Upon arrival, he didn't rush around.
Instead, he had Prometheus forge an identity card for him.
Then he created a personal ID for himself.
With that settled, Takumi began wandering the world casually.
He also instructed Prometheus to begin collecting magical data from this world.
After a quick study of concepts like "Psion," Takumi understood
It was just another name for magical energy.
And it had its own classifications:
Eight categories: Acceleration, Weight Addition, Movement, Vibration, Convergence, Diffusion, Absorption, Release.
Then divided into three types: Perceptual, Systemless, and Outside-System.
And finally, there was Ancient Magic, broken down into: Fighter-Class, Tactical-Class, Strategic-Class, etc.
It all sounded like a hassle.
But Strategic-Class Magic was pretty interesting.
Magic that accomplished things even modern tech couldn't do.
Takumi could find plenty of info on this world online.
Even without internet access, he could find what he needed.
There were no secrets in this world that could be hidden from him.
However, Strategic-Class Magic was a bit trickier.
Most of it wasn't even uploaded to the net.
It might be a personal talent instead.
If Takumi wanted it, he'd have to go find the individuals who possessed it.
But Takumi wasn't in a rush.
He could always dig into their minds later.
For now, he just wanted to enjoy this world a bit.
After getting a general understanding, Takumi confirmed:
Shiba Tatsuya hadn't started high school yet.
There was still a week before the term started.
No problem.
With that in mind, Takumi began leisurely exploring this world.
He quietly transferred some money into his account from unmonitored sources.
He had an ID, fundseverything set.
And so, Takumi began enjoying his time in this world without a care.
Bored, he made his way to First High School.
Though the semester hadn't started yet, there were already quite a few people on campus.
And the school had several things he wanted.
He decided to forge a student identity for himself.
After all, he still looked young enough.
With his new student ID (and a bit of cash), entering the school was a breeze.
Some students were curious when they saw him.
Because Takumi was just that handsome.
Upperclassmen girls brightened when they saw him.
Was this a soon-to-enroll junior?
Even though school hadn't started, quite a few students had come to check things out.
There were even students on hand to welcome them.
Takumi even spotted the student council presidentMayumi Saegusa.
She was a pretty great senpai.
Naturally, Takumi's appearance drew her attention.
After all, she had come today specifically to greet the new students touring the campus.
Chapter 449: Im Ridiculously Good at Kidnapping People
When Mayumi Saegusa saw Takumi, her eyes couldn't help but light up.
What a handsome underclassman.
Immediately, she walked up to him.
If it were someone else, she probably wouldn't give them a second glance.
But Takumi was handsome.
Even if she wasn't the type to judge solely on looks, a guy this good-looking was definitely pleasant to look at.
She didn't mind becoming that kind of girl today.
"Are you here to tour the school, underclassman?"
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Mayumi stood before Takumi, clearly in a good mood as she looked at this strikingly handsome junior.
After all, he was easy on the eyes.
While she looked at Takumi, he also looked back at her.
Staring at Mayumi for a moment, he then smiled.
"Senpai, you're really beautiful!"
He said it so directly and out of the blue.
Mayumi was stunned.
Then her cheeks turned slightly red. She didn't expect Takumi to be so bold.
Was he flirting right off the bat?
"Ara ara~!"
"Are underclassmen nowadays always this daring?"
"But if you're this frivolous, underclassman, no one's going to like you, you know."
Recovering her composure, Mayumi rolled her eyes at him.
Who knows how many girls will fall prey to this Takumi in the future?
"It's not that I'm bold, senpai, it's just that you're too beautiful."
"Senpai, could you give me a tour of the school?"
Takumi asked with a cheerful smile.
Mayumi immediately agreed.
"Of course, underclassman!"
"By the way, I'm Mayumi Saegusa, the student council president."
"What's your name?"
While gesturing for Takumi to walk forward, she started probing for information.
"I'm Takumi, an international student."
Takumi glanced sideways at her as he spoke.
His fake ID said he was from the Great Asian Alliance.
In this world, people were extremely unfriendly toward the Great Asian Alliance.
Well, once he got back, he'd just hand them a few strategic-level magic spells.
Whether or not they ended up in a war with Japan wasn't his problem.
They'd probably raze the country.
Thinking about that, Takumi silently chuckled to himself.
When Mayumi heard Takumi's name, she was slightly surprised.
And he was from the Great Asian Alliance?
She didn't recall any freshmen from that alliance.
She had reviewed the list of incoming students.
Did she miss something?
With that thought, Mayumi took out her phone and began checking.
"I don't recall seeing your profile, Takumi-kun."
"Let me take a look."
She wasn't hiding anything and checked it right in front of Takumi.
Soon, she pulled up Takumi's data.
Everything about him was listed clearly, and the registration had only been made two days ago.
His background and credentials were fully documented.
Everything seemed perfectly normal.
It must've been her mistake.
Seeing this, Mayumi didn't think much of it.
If it could be found in the system, then it had to be legit.
She had no reason to doubt it.
Or rather, any doubts she did have were suppressed immediately.
Naturally, this was all thanks to Takumi.
"So you're a confirmed incoming freshman."
"Welcome to First High School, Takumi-kun~!"
Once she was certain, Mayumi formally welcomed him.
His grades looked stellar.
Now it was just a matter of seeing how well he could use magic.
"Thank you."
"Then I'll be troubling you, senpai, to show me around."
Takumi smiled warmly.
Mayumi nodded enthusiastically.
"Of course!"
"I'll be a great tour guide."
With that, she started introducing the school's facilities.
First High School was quite large and even had its own research lab.
Led by Mayumi, Takumi began exploring the school.
At noon, they even had lunch together in the cafeteria.
Their relationship quickly grew closer.
Especially with Takumi's occasional flirty remarks, Mayumi was clearly smitten.
After exchanging contact info, Takumi finally said goodbye.
As she watched him leave, Mayumi's cheeks were still slightly flushed.
She hadn't expected Takumi to be so skilled at flirting.
He actually made her heart flutter.
She genuinely enjoyed spending time with him.
She hoped they'd chat again soon.
With that thought, Mayumi saw him off and returned home.
After leaving First High School, Takumi began visiting various research institutions.
As for the school itself?
He'd already acquired everything he needed.
The time spent there was mostly to spend time with Mayumi anyway.
After visiting all the places he intended, Takumi checked into a hotel and entered the group chat.
Someone was slandering him!
Chika Fujiwara:
[Takumi hasn't spoken for half a day. He's definitely off playing with some girl.]
[@Bronya, @Kaguya Houraisan, @Shiina Mashiro, my condolences!!]
Kaguya Houraisan:
[Isn't that totally normal? If he's not with a girl, that's what would be weird.]
Shiroyasha:
[Exactly! Not playing with girls would be the real surprise.]
[If it were me, I'd play with girls too!]
[What's the big deal?]
Boros:
[Women only slow down my fighting speed!]
Lala:
[But no one wants you. You're ugly!!]
Boros:
[???]
Brutal. That hit deep.
Seeing Lala's message, Boros was instantly depressed.
How was he ugly?!
Sagiri:
[Emm theoretically speaking]
Indeed.
In the whole group, Boros was the ugliest.
Though some thought he looked cool, the majority just couldn't accept it.
Ugly!
At that, Boros completely shut up.
What the hell, personal attacks?
Takumi:
[LMAO~!]
Seeing this exchange, Takumi burst into laughter.
Poor alien.
Everyone else in the group looked humanonly Boros looked weird.
So the criticism wasn't wrong.
Even Lala, who was also an alien, thought Boros was ugly.
Absolutely hilarious.
Chika Fujiwara:
[Oh, you're back?]
[How's it going over there?]
[When are you coming back?]
[We've already got our spirits!]
[Picture]
Seeing Takumi appear, Chika quickly asked.
Who knew where he'd run off to next?
She also shared a bit about what they were up to.
Takumi:
[We'll talk later. I just met Mayumi Saegusa.]
Return?
No rush.
He'd squeeze all the knowledge he could out of this world first.
A few more days, and he'd probably have everything he needed.
Since arriving in this world, Takumi could feel it slowly starting to accept him.
A lot of knowledge had already begun appearing in his mind automatically.
Chapter 450: I Know This Too Well, Im a Pro at It
Although Takumi possessed the Soul Frame of Humanity's Final Hope, gaining a world's recognition wasn't something that happened the moment he arrived. It took time to fully establish.
Because of this, all Takumi needed to do now was wait patiently. He didn't even need to actively seek out those who possessed strategic-level magic.
Of course, there was one girl Takumi still planned to visit.
Bronya: [What's your plan for bringing them back? Many people probably won't agree to leave their world, right?]
