Alaya stammered, unable to find a rebuttal. It was true that everything on her end followed the rules, but that guy was an outright bug.
With that kind of talent, wasn't he just bullying everyone else? If he actually found an opportunity to enter the Root, she had no idea what kind of monster would be cultivated. Just the thought of it made Alaya's head ache.
What a headache... I just hope he isn't too ridiculous... Wait, oh no!!! I threw him into Fuyuki City! The Holy Grail War is happening there right now!
Thinking of this, Alaya's heart went cold. That guy wouldn't try to crawl through the hole opened by the Holy Grail and reach the Root, would he? But... it shouldn't be a huge problem. He shouldn't know that much about it.
And besides, she could probably let him get involved, right? Wouldn't it be great to let him help her clean up All the World's Evil? Thinking this, Alaya made up her mind. It was settled then.
Since he came here to learn, there shouldn't be any issue with him helping out with some cleaning, right? And those other people with him could also be put to work clearing some things out!
The more Alaya thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. She didn't bother saying anything more to the mysterious person, vanishing from the spot immediately. She had to keep an eye on those people.
Looking at the spot where Alaya vanished, the mysterious figure on Ren Isana's side snorted. She didn't say anything else, nor was she afraid of Alaya playing any small tricks. She had complete confidence in Ren Isana!
At this moment, Ren Isana was looking at his surroundings with a look of utter confusion. He really hadn't expected to be forcefully separated from the others the moment he entered this world.
Ren Isana frowned, activating the mark on his hand to sense the positions of the others. Unfortunately, he couldn't sense anyone; they weren't within his [Perception Magic] range.
This was going to be troublesome. Thinking of this, Ren Isana took his phone out of his [Spatial Ring]. He wasn't worried about losing touch; it wouldn't be long before someone reached out.
After all, Asagi Aiba was no amateur. She would likely be able to pinpoint Ren Isana and the others shortly. Their phones had long since been modified with her little 'additions.'
Ren Isana glanced at his phone. There was no signal, but the WiFi had automatically turned on. This WiFi was something Asagi Aiba had left behind, and it was currently emitting a continuous signal.
Stowing the phone, Ren Isana suppressed his presence and walked out of the alley, preparing to get a grasp on the situation of this world.
Looking at the surrounding buildings, the style seemed to be from the 90s. *Is this the time of the Fourth Holy Grail War?* Just as the thought crossed his mind, a sudden heat flared on his right hand.
A moment later, a crimson [Command Spell] appeared. When Ren Isana saw this thing, a slow question mark formed in his mind. A [Command Spell]? He was being forced into the Holy Grail War? What was the meaning of this?
The moment he saw it, Ren Isana was filled with doubt. Coming to this world and being forced to fight in the Holy Grail War? Did that mean this was Fuyuki City? Talk about a coincidence!
While Ren Isana was lost in thought, his phone suddenly vibrated. Seeing this, he took his phone out and squatted in the alley to check it.
Opening the phone, as expected, Asagi Aiba had already re-established contact with everyone. At this moment, Ren Isana had been pulled into a group chat by her.
Sora: "Holy crap, where did I get dropped? Where are you guys?"
Ming Li: "I have no idea! I was dumped in the middle of a forest!!"
Kojou Akatsuki: "It's over for me. I think I've trespassed into a vampire's territory!!"
Kai: "I'm in a city, but it looks like I'm overseas..."
Leo: "Me too!"
[Asagi Aiba has enabled group mute.]
[Asagi Aiba has shared a location.]
[Ren Isana has been made an administrator.]
Asagi Aiba: "I've marked everyone's location on the map. See for yourselves @Ren Isana. What's the plan?"
Ren Isana: "We've been split up. If I'm not mistaken, this world doesn't want us all gathering together. Everyone, meet up with the nearest classmates first. Asagi, help everyone sort out their IDs and then investigate if there are any special items in this world."
Seeing the messages in the group, Ren Isana made a quick decision. If they weren't together, then so be it. It was actually fine for everyone to be spread out.
Asagi Aiba quickly replied with an 'OK' in the group. Seeing Ren Isana's message, the others began to take action, confirming their current positions and contacting the nearest people.
Setting aside everything else, they needed to gather first. Asagi Aiba was now rapidly sending out various pieces of information in the group.
For instance, she had just found some points of caution: the mystery of this world cannot be exposed to the public. Everyone had to be careful when acting, as the ordinary people of this world had no idea that things like magic existed.
Some basic information was gathered by Asagi Aiba. Ren Isana glanced at it and then ignored it. He checked his own position and, sure enough, he was in Fuyuki City.
Furthermore, it seemed there was nobody else in the same area as him? After checking the tracking, Ren Isana was speechless. *The world is targeting me,* he thought. It had scattered the entire class across the globe.
Ren Isana looked at Asuna's location. She had been dumped in a foreign country—specifically, the UK. Thinking of this, Ren Isana's eyes narrowed slightly. He quickly scanned the positions of the others before sending a message to Asuna.
Ren Isana: "You meet up with the others first. Search for anything unusual in that area. If you find something, find a way to learn it. I have a war to fight here first!"
Asuna: "A war? You were caught in a battlefield?"
Asuna was shocked to receive Ren Isana's message. There was a war on his side? If that was the case, the weapons Ren Isana had prepared might actually come in handy...
It really was a coincidence. For a moment, Asuna didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't overthink it, simply reminding Ren Isana to be careful before checking the people near her.
Ren Isana ended the call with Asuna and put away his phone, preparing to leave the alley. However, after walking for a short distance, he saw a young man walking into the alley from the street.
Seeing this person, Ren Isana's brow furrowed because the man reeked of blood and held a blood-stained utility knife in his hand.
The man walked into the alley in a good mood, acting as if no one else was there. Ren Isana confirmed the man's identity. *Ryuunosuke Uryuu...*
And from the look of it, he hadn't obtained a [Command Spell] yet.
Because Ren Isana had suppressed his presence to the minimum from the start, the man didn't notice him at all. As he approached, the scent of blood on him became even more pungent.
The moment he walked past Ren Isana, Ren moved. With a wave of his hand, a [Wind Blade] appeared out of thin air. In the next instant, Ryuunosuke's head was separated from his body. Simultaneously, a [Teleportation Array] appeared beneath his feet. Before the blood could even spray, he was teleported away by Ren Isana.
The sudden attack left Ryuunosuke in a daze. He only felt the world spinning before completely losing consciousness. He died without ever knowing that he was just passing through when he was conveniently cut down.
In the sewers of Fuyuki City, a decapitated corpse appeared. It manifested silently, becoming just another piece of trash in the depths as blood began to flow into the sea through the drainage pipes.
When dealing with a serial killer like this, the best method was naturally to kill him directly. Who told him to kill children? So, please, just go die!
After conveniently dealing with the guy, Ren Isana knew what he needed to do next. Since he was in this world, he should start by killing some bugs!
Besides, his [Command Spell] seemed to be the one that should have belonged to Ryuunosuke Uryuu? That's probably why this guy came over to be killed by him. The one summoned by his [Command Spell] should have been Caster, right?
Ren Isana glanced at the [Command Spell] on his hand and already had a plan. Before that, he would follow the tradition of a transmigrator: kill the bugs. As for summoning a Heroic Spirit, he would deal with that later. He wondered who he would summon this time.
With his [Perception Magic] fully active, Ren Isana recorded the entire situation of Fuyuki City in his mind. Very quickly, he locked onto the locations with Magic Power reactions.
Through his perception, Ren Isana quickly determined the location of the Matou household. In the next instant, Ren Isana's figure vanished, rushing toward the Matou residence.
The Magic Power over there was currently boiling, as if something was being done. *Is Sakura Matou being taken there now? If that's the case, I've arrived at the perfect time.*
"Someone... save me..." In the basement of the Matou household, little Sakura was currently curled in a corner, watching the worms crawl toward her with eyes full of terror.
She never could have imagined things would turn out like this. At this moment, Sakura Matou's eyes were filled with fear and despair. Why did it have to be like this? The grandfather who had seemed kind was now a terrifying demon in her eyes!
Just as Sakura Matou reached the depths of despair and the worms were about to crawl onto her body, a voice as clear as a heavenly melody suddenly echoed in her ears: "The sun rises here!"
The appearance of this voice made Sakura freeze. In the next moment, a ray of sunlight suddenly appeared before her, just like the rising sun in the morning. When she saw this light, Sakura felt her entire body become warm.
"?" Sakura was dazed. How could there be a sun here? Just as the thought surfaced, a miniature sun truly appeared before her eyes. Its appearance instantly illuminated the entire dark basement.
In an instant, those worms were incinerated into ash under the radiance of the sunlight, as if they had been melted away. The fear within Sakura Matou vanished in that moment as well.
"Who is there!!" Zouken Matou looked at the sun that had appeared out of thin air with terror. This power made the dark bugs that had lived in the sewers for years feel incredibly uncomfortable, as if they were being dragged out to be bleached by the sun.
"What a coincidence. It looks like I arrived just in time!" Ren Isana's voice rang through the underground space. Sakura stared blankly at the older brother who had suddenly appeared in front of her.
