"Right, Ui, Yui, and everyone, let me offer a simple warning. Although we've all gained some abilities now, unless absolutely necessary, try not to reveal anything too unusual in front of others. Otherwise, we might be captured and studied."
"I don't think any of us are strong enough to oppose a national force yet. Even basic firearms would be difficult for our current strength to handle. After all, if we die in reality, there's no second chance, right?" Takeru calmly reminded everyone.
"I understand, Takeru-kun," Ui quickly nodded.
Rikka and Yuta, who had been smiling earlier, froze. They had been thinking about showing off when they got back, but if they carelessly displayed special abilities, they could end up on the run...
"Mm," They both agreed glumly.
Umaru and Taihei naturally understood these matters and nodded calmly. They wouldn't use their abilities recklessly unless necessary.
"Of course, attributes like strength can be practiced more in the real world, then disguised as training results," Takeru suggested with a smile.
"That's true!" Hearing this, Rikka and Yuta's eyes lit up. The thought of impressing others later made them smile again.
"Another thing. I'm not entirely sure, but the flow of time here is probably different from the real world. We spent three days here, but real-world time might be different. So, don't worry too much. Still, when you get back, try not to give anything away."
"As for the earlier warning about world changes, there's no direct evidence, but it probably won't happen immediately or become extremely severe right away. So, we shouldn't be overly anxious for now. If a real emergency arises, we can call on each other for help," Takeru said seriously.
"I agree," Yukino said without hesitation.
Their individual powers weren't strong yet. Facing problems together might lead to solutions.
"I understand," Yui nodded quickly.
"Alright, let's stay in touch if needed. I should head back now." After his final reminder, Takeru also opened his watch and pressed the button to return to reality...
"Then, I'll see you all at Sobu High later," Yukino said to the group before quickly logging off.
"See you next time, everyone!" Seeing Yukino leave first, Hachiman also vanished.
"Goodbye, Takeru-kun!" Hearing Takeru's words, Yui and Ui waved.
"Well then, everyone, see you next time!" Umaru Doma gave a warm smile and bid farewell.
"Goodbye, Umaru-chan!" Yui and Ui quickly said their goodbyes to her.
Then, the remaining six operated their watches and disappeared from the spot.
…
'It really feels like a dream,' Takeru murmured, back in the spot where he had vanished. He still found it hard to process, but clenching his fist, he felt his strength was vastly greater than before...
The most obvious change was his physique. Before, his build was average, only his looks were outstanding.
Now it was different. Lifting his shirt slightly, he saw an eight-pack. His muscles weren't exaggerated but looked powerful and explosive...
'Wait, I should check the time first!' Takeru suddenly remembered over three days had passed there. He pulled out his phone and found only thirty minutes had elapsed here.
Clearly, the time ratio was roughly one day in the Reincarnation Space to ten minutes here, though this was just his current guess.
Knowing the time flow was different meant he wouldn't cause problems in reality by disappearing for too long during future missions...
Next, Takeru checked his surroundings. Miu, who had been resting, hadn't noticed his disappearance.
He then looked at his Reincarnation Watch and found it could be hidden. Without much thought, he chose to hide it.
This hiding only made it invisible to others, and Takeru could still see it.
Then, Takeru checked his equipment and item slots. The equipment he obtained from the NewWorld Online World was neatly stored there, along with 26 Health Potions and 18 Mana Potions...
Without hesitation, Takeru summoned the short sword Twilight Moon and one Health Potion.
Holding Twilight Moon, he felt a surge of power, an illusion that he could punch through a wall.
After a moment's thought, Takeru used Twilight Moon to make a light cut on his arm, but the sharp blade left no mark on his skin.
