The words Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke had already been discussed and agreed upon. After gaining a general understanding of this world's situation, several Familias had decided to recruit members from here.
As Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice faded, the students immediately broke into excited chatter. This was going to be an incredible opportunity.
Ren Isana asked with piqued interest, "Ms. Hiratsuka, I'm curious. In what form will these Familias exist in our world from now on? Do they need to register?"
Ren Isana was genuinely curious about this. He half-suspected that when those gods came to their world, they would probably have to apply for ID cards. After all, some of those entities were far too powerful once their seals were undone.
If they were let loose in this world, it would be an absolute disaster. The higher-ups would never allow such unstable elements to run amok.
"Of course they need to register. How could they not? Even if gods come here, they still have to obey our rules and regulations!" Shizuka Hiratsuka chuckled, directly answering Ren Isana's question.
Beyond that, the gods would be subject to the regulatory systems of this world. It wasn't even out of the question that their Divine Power could be forcibly sealed again.
As for the specifics, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't know. That was for the big shots at the top to figure out; it wasn't under her jurisdiction. She only knew the general gist of things.
Listening to Shizuka Hiratsuka, Ren Isana roughly understood the situation. *So that's how it is. That's actually not a bad arrangement.*
After answering Ren Isana, Shizuka Hiratsuka continued, "You can ask Riveria and the others about the specifics yourselves. It's best to see what direction they choose to take."
For example, those who wanted to be doctors could join the Miach Familia. Those who wanted to be adventurers could join the Loki Familia, and those interested in forging weapons could join the Hephaestus Familia.
It was best to choose a Familia that suited one's own talents and goals. Joining a compatible Familia was undoubtedly the most optimal choice.
"Can people who haven't awakened their talents join?" Leo spoke up at this moment. He had a younger brother at home, and this Falna was quite incredible. As someone who had experienced it, he naturally knew the benefits of a Falna. However, his brother hadn't awakened yet, so could he still join?
Hearing this, Shizuka Hiratsuka found it a bit amusing. "Look at Bell Cranel. How old is he? Do you think there are any restrictions? It has nothing to do with age. Besides, joining before awakening might actually be beneficial!"
Before awakening, it was all about building a foundation. Physical training was only necessary in the early stages. Once someone possessed True Qi or Magic Power, purely physical conditioning was no longer strictly necessary; they would only be practicing techniques.
A Falna didn't conflict with this process. In fact, it could accelerate the rate at which one grew stronger. For those who hadn't awakened yet, it offered only benefits and no drawbacks.
Even if they eventually awakened an unsuitable talent, it wouldn't matter. No matter what direction they developed in, there would surely be a place for them.
Listening to Shizuka Hiratsuka's explanation, Leo nodded, his concerns alleviated. He would talk to his younger brother when he got back; having him join a Familia would be a fantastic idea.
His brother wanted to be a doctor in the future. Now that a God of Healing had come to this world, didn't that perfectly match his needs? He could just have him join the Miach Familia.
The others also started getting ideas. Aside from orphans like Ren Isana, everyone had relatives and friends. Perhaps they didn't have the qualifications to join the Hestia Familia, but joining other Familias would be great too.
"Decide for yourselves. I've told you everything you need to know. Now, it's time for self-study!" Having arranged everything, Shizuka Hiratsuka promptly left the classroom.
After Shizuka Hiratsuka left, the students immediately broke into excited chatter, eagerly discussing which of their friends or family members they wanted to introduce.
Ren Isana turned his gaze to Hestia and asked, "Can you tell me what happened after I left?"
Ren Isana finally had the time to ask about this. Faced with his inquiry, Hestia instantly perked up and began enthusiastically recounting the events that had transpired.
Asuna and the others listened quietly. After all, when Ren Isana was teleported back, they had been brought along with him. They had absolutely no idea what had happened afterward.
As Hestia explained, Asuna and the others were quite shocked. So many things had happened after they left? Even the other gods had been alarmed.
"So, what about the Apollo Familia's assets? Did we secure all of them?" Ren Isana asked with great interest. Natsuki Minamiya's extortion had been highly successful, and Freya had suffered a stroke of terrible luck.
But who could blame anyone else when she was the one who started it? Natsuki Minamiya had locked onto her, pinning a massive, inescapable blame squarely on her head. If Freya hadn't agreed at the time, Natsuki Minamiya probably would have just attacked her directly.
After all, sometimes the corpse of a god was far more valuable. Thinking of this, Ren Isana silently gave a thumbs-up in his heart. *I have to admit, beautifully done.*
The numerous assets of the Apollo Familia had all been taken over by Hestia, who then promptly bundled them up and sold them off. Now, all those resources were in Natsuki Minamiya's hands.
Ren Isana's eyes lit up as he listened to Hestia. In that case, Natsuki Minamiya must have a ton of good stuff on her. After all, she had extorted one of the largest Familias in Orario and absorbed everything from the Apollo Familia.
*Should I go ask Ms. Minamiya for a cut of the profits?* Ren Isana couldn't help but fall into deep thought, especially regarding the compensation provided by the Freya Familia.
Loki could casually pull out a pile of top-tier materials, so the Freya Familia went without saying, right? After all, the Freya Familia's strength was even greater than the Loki Familia's.
The thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't dwell on it. It wasn't up to him to decide how Natsuki Minamiya would distribute things, and he was already quite satisfied with having obtained Apollo's corpse.
While the group was chatting in the classroom, a Magic Circle suddenly lit up on the podium. Seeing this, everyone turned their gazes toward it. The next moment, Natsuki Minamiya's figure appeared on the podium.
The students immediately quieted down, waiting to see what Natsuki Minamiya had planned. Things like living arrangements for Ais and the others still needed to be sorted out, after all.
"In a moment, write down your bank account numbers and hand them in. I'm going to distribute some money to you all."
These were the very first words Natsuki Minamiya spoke upon her return.
As soon as she said this, everyone's faces were filled with question marks. What did she mean by distributing money? Even Ren Isana was a bit bewildered. *Good lord, we actually get a cut?*
"Ms. Minamiya, what's going on?" Hearing this, Sora asked in confusion. Why couldn't anyone understand what Natsuki Minamiya was talking about?
"Our trip to the other world yielded excellent returns this time, so a bonus will be distributed to everyone. Consider this money a reward for your exploration in the other world," Natsuki Minamiya slowly explained the reasoning.
In other words, this money was a cut of the extortion from the Freya and Apollo Familias? And now it was being directly distributed to everyone? No one had expected that they would actually get a share of those profits.
Listening to Natsuki Minamiya, the crowd was a bit stunned. Ren Isana asked doubtfully, "Is this bonus a lot?"
No one would have thought that they would get a share of the glory this time. Ren Isana instantly perked up, wondering just how much money they were going to receive.
"Not much, just one hundred million per person," Natsuki Minamiya said slowly, directly stating the amount. This was a decision from the higher-ups because the harvest this time was simply too massive—something that couldn't be bought with any amount of money.
Furthermore, the reason for distributing cash was that, aside from a few students with wealthy backgrounds, most of the class came from average families. Once they entered university, their expenses would only skyrocket.
Therefore, the higher-ups decided to resolve these issues directly. Rather than distributing supplies, wasn't it better to just hand out cash? This would directly solve everyone's individual needs.
"Whoa!!" The students instantly erupted in excitement upon hearing this. This was literally a sudden windfall of immense wealth! To be given so much money all at once? This was way too awesome!
"Alright, write down your account numbers. Compile them all onto a single sheet of paper with your names. I'll take a picture and send it over so they can process it immediately," Natsuki Minamiya said, halting the excited crowd and urging them to hurry up.
Hearing this, everyone began coordinating. They quickly found a notebook and passed it around, each person writing down their name and bank account number.
Ignoring the chaotic classroom, Natsuki Minamiya walked over to Ren Isana and said, "Ren Isana, take Riveria and the others to the apartment building you live in. I've already had someone notify the property management there."
Hearing this, Ren Isana was a bit surprised. "My apartment building? Understood, I'll take them over in a bit."
*They're living at my place?* Well, it wasn't a bad idea. Ren Isana remembered that there were hardly any tenants on his floor. Renting apartments there would be a solid choice.
After finishing her instructions, Natsuki Minamiya cast a spell, bringing out two large chests. "These contain some precious materials reserved for you. You might find them useful in the future."
Hearing this, Ren Isana was thrilled. *Now we're talking.* He didn't stand on ceremony, immediately getting up and storing the two chests away. This was an unexpected delight. After putting the items away, Ren Isana thanked her, "Thank you, Ms. Minamiya!"
This was simply too good. Not only did he get money, but he also got materials. Apollo's death was truly a blessing. Ren Isana felt incredibly satisfied. He might not need these materials right now, but that didn't mean they wouldn't be useful later.
"Natsuki, what are the plans for us next? Aren't we about to take the college entrance exams?" Ren Isana looked at Natsuki Minamiya curiously.
They probably wouldn't be able to go to the other world for a while, so he was very curious about what would happen to them next. After all, everyone had already been accepted into Dimensional Nexus University.
"You're on vacation. You can use this time to explore the Dungeon in our world. A whole summer break is plenty of time for you all to play around." Facing Ren Isana's inquiry, Natsuki Minamiya shook her head.
Before Dimensional Nexus University started its term, Ren Isana and the others could do whatever they wanted. The best option was to explore their world's Dungeon. After all, that was exactly why the Loki Familia and the others had come here.
Hearing this, Ren Isana understood. That meant it didn't matter if they came to class anymore, right? Thinking this, Ren Isana couldn't help but ask, "Can we go to our Dungeon anytime? Is it opening to the public?"
When they returned, there was hardly anyone there; it had been completely locked down. Now, hearing Natsuki Minamiya say this, it seemed they planned to open it to the public during the summer.
"Yes, you can go anytime. Once the college entrance exams are over, it will be open to the public." Natsuki Minamiya explained the situation. Ren Isana and his classmates at least had this much privilege.
Even if Ren Isana and the others went straight there to explore tomorrow, it wouldn't be an issue. After all, they planned to adopt the model from the other world. With the gods here, they could directly form Familias over there—or perhaps call them guilds?
It was all roughly the same. For Ren Isana and the others, who already possessed a Falna, the best thing to do was to go inside and grind monsters. They would be able to grow much faster in there. Given how insanely driven these kids were...
Natsuki Minamiya didn't doubt for a second that by the time Dimensional Nexus University started, all of them would have reached Tier 5. Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"I hope to see all of you break through to Tier 5 by the time school starts!" Natsuki Minamiya said, looking at Asuna, Yukino, and the others. Hearing this, the girls were momentarily stunned.
Tier 5 in one summer... The pressure suddenly spiked. Asuna looked at Natsuki Minamiya in bewilderment. "Ms. Minamiya, is this our mission?"
If that was the case, they might as well just live in the Dungeon this summer and prepare to grind monsters like crazy!
"No, it's just my expectation of you. After all, I'll be your homeroom teacher from now on. I have a reputation to uphold, don't I?" Natsuki Minamiya said, her lips curving into a slight smile.
Truth be told, Natsuki Minamiya was extremely satisfied with this group of students. Their talents were quite exceptional. Once they fully matured, they would become the core pillars of this world.
"So it's not a mission... Thank goodness. We'll do our best!" Asuna instantly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a mandatory mission, the pressure wouldn't be so overwhelming.
After all, no one knew how much Excelia was required to reach Tier 5. It was a massive bottleneck. Not everyone was a freak of nature like Ren Isana, who leveled up as easily as if he were playing a game.
"So Ais will be joining us from now on? When we go to university, will she come with us too?" Ren Isana shifted his gaze to Ais and the others. Now that they were in this world, they couldn't just stay in one place forever. How to arrange things for them was still an issue, not to mention they needed to establish their own Familias.
"They will go to school with you. Riveria will manage the Familia's affairs." This had all been discussed and decided beforehand. Ais, Lefiya, and the twin sisters would all head to Dimensional Nexus University together.
As for Riveria, she would lead a group to establish the Familia and focus on its development. That was the plan from their side. After hearing this explanation, Ren Isana felt relieved. *That's not a bad setup. It's pretty good, actually. They're basically exchange students.*
While they were chatting, the rest of the class quickly finished filling out their bank details. Sitting in the front, Yukino handed the notebook directly to Ren Isana. Looking at the list of account numbers, Ren Isana added his own before passing it to Asuna and Megumi Kato.
Once the two girls finished writing, Megumi Kato handed the notebook to Natsuki Minamiya, who was standing nearby. She took it, glanced over the pages, and then pulled out her phone to take pictures of everything before sending them off.
Having done all this, Natsuki Minamiya stepped up to the podium and said, "I've said my piece. You're free to do whatever you want now. If you want to go to the Dungeon tomorrow, just head straight there."
After saying this, Natsuki Minamiya looked at Riveria and the others. "As for your identification documents for this world, I'll have them delivered to your residence tomorrow. For now, just follow Ren Isana."
Hearing this, Ais and the others hurriedly nodded. Being completely unfamiliar with this new world, they could only rely on Ren Isana and his friends. They had no objections to this arrangement.
Seeing this, Natsuki Minamiya promptly left. She released [Spatial Magic] and vanished from the spot. Her work was done. This group was officially on vacation; when the time came, they just needed to take their admission letters and head to Nexus Island.
After Natsuki Minamiya left, Sora shouted excitedly, "Classmates, does anyone want to order a Spatial Backpack? If so, follow me! Let's go find Maya!"
With this sudden windfall, outfitting everyone with a Spatial Backpack could finally be put on the agenda. Her words sparked another wave of excitement among the students. This was an absolute must-have; everyone had already been thinking about it.
Just yesterday, they had been discussing saving up little by little to buy Spatial Backpacks, but today they were handed the cash directly. It was simply too amazing.
"Um, if possible, we'd like some as well. And if it's not too much trouble, could you help us figure out how to process some of the materials we brought over?" Riveria spoke up at this moment.
They had brought quite a lot of things with them this time, and those items still needed to be exchanged for this world's currency. Plus, they could buy Spatial Backpacks? She was extremely interested in that.
Hearing Riveria's words, Ren Isana couldn't help but say, "Then let's go together. The place we're heading to can process materials."
"Exactly! You guys should tag along," Sora nodded eagerly, then looked at Ren Isana. "Class Rep, do you want to ask Maya if we should go to the shop or head straight to the factory?"
How they arranged things depended on Maya. If Maya wanted to take them to the factory anyway, they would just have to make an extra trip. It was better to just head straight there if that was the case.
