Roa's eyes were fixed on the line of small print that said "Space-Time Power."
[Current Space-Time Power: Two thousand three hundred and forty points.]
[Can open a three-star small world, search?]
Roa put down his package, his eyes shining brightly.
Roa's mind moved, and he silently recited in his heart: Search for world.
The system interface began to change, and a line of small print appeared.
[The time ratio between the three-star special world and the current world is 4:1]
[Please choose your entry method: 1, Soul Projection (requires control), 2, True Body Transmigration]
[Note 1: Soul projection death will only cause trauma to the soul, true body transmigration death is true death]
[Note 2: Soul projection transmigration can only obtain part of the current world experience (can be allocated) after world settlement]
[Note 3: Please participate in the plot as much as possible to obtain a large amount of space-time power to prepare for the next transmigration]
[Note 4: Check that your small world is in a fragmented state, you may need a large amount of Origin Power]
[Note 5: Three-star special worlds have higher-level creatures, please try to avoid provoking him/her/it.]
It was still the familiar prompt. Roa's gaze quickly swept across the system interface and looked at the final identity selection.
This world was somewhat special, it was a so-called special world.
It seemed that worlds of the same star level were also different.
Without saying much, Roa directly chose true body transmigration. As the world's star level increased, avatars could no longer meet the current needs.
Roa's mind moved, and he chose the option of true body transmigration. Next, three more options popped up.
[This consumption: One thousand points of space-time power.]
[World coordinate positioning successful]
Please choose the identity you will play in this invasion.
[a. Commoner]
[b. Elementaler]
[c. Spirit]
[Note 1: This choice will slightly affect your talents, please choose carefully.]
[Note 2: True body transmigration will be bound by the world's rules and fall into a brief period of weakness. Please try to avoid using powers that do not exist in the world. If the world consciousness detects it, you will be kicked out of this world.]
Roa looked at the three options in front of him and fell into deep thought. The first option didn't need to be said, the second and third options were very interesting.
Elementaler and Spirit.
The appearance of these two names alone indicated that this world was very peculiar.
Roa frowned and murmured, "Elementaler and Spirit?"
Choosing such things was actually very unreasonable. Sometimes, the system gave Roa three choices, but in reality, there were only two choices.
Without a doubt, a was eliminated first, then the remaining ones were Elementaler and Spirit.
But after thinking about it, Roa's gaze once again fell on the three words "Elementaler."
Undoubtedly, his choice is limited to this one, and setting aside the meaning of the spirit identity, if becoming a spirit means being captured and enslaved by others, Roa would laugh at that.
Moreover, becoming a spirit user clearly allows one to summon so-called spirits. Although Roa doesn't know what's so special about spirits, they are clearly the mainstream in that world.
Without saying much, Roa chose option B, to become a glorious spirit user.
The remaining task was to adjust the world's flow of time.
To Roa's surprise, he thought adjusting the world's flow of time would cost a fortune, but unexpectedly, it was only slightly higher than the Demon Slayer world. Although the expense was still considerable.
Adjusting the time ratio to [40:1] cost nearly eight hundred points of space-time power, completely emptying Roa's once-affluent wallet.
The original two thousand three hundred and forty points of space-time power were reduced to less than five hundred.
However, to become stronger, these things are worth it.
After selecting option 1, Roa threw the package in his hand to the ground, preparing to travel.
A strong sense of weightlessness struck, and Roa's head felt like it had been heavily struck by a hammer, even causing a moment of mental disorientation.
Logically, there shouldn't be a weapon in this world that could knock Roa unconscious, but it happened to be so strange.
In a daze, the world before his eyes began to show afterimages. When Roa finally recovered, he was surprised to find himself sitting in a chair, facing a silver-haired woman with very long, waist-length hair. Her appearance was extremely outstanding, wearing a red OL uniform and single-lens glasses. Her face was beautiful and full of the mature charm of an adult woman.
At this moment, she was sitting in the chair, looking at Roa with a strange expression.
She coughed lightly, and her delicate face looked at Roa with a slightly serious expression, saying, "Well then, hello, Roa Greyrat. I presume you know where this is."
Roa raised his eyes, met her gray eyes, and then looked around.
This was an extremely spacious room. She was sitting at a desk that could be described as luxurious, and she said with a serious face, "Let me introduce myself first. I am the Dusk Witch. I presume you know this title?"
Roa fell into deep thought, pondering silently, but he had no clue.
Honestly, there are at least three or four anime characters who call themselves the Dusk Witch, and her self-proclaimed title might be well-known in this world, but for Roa, it's really difficult to recognize her identity based on just a title.
No, that's not right. With such distinct features, he should have some slight impression.
But the fact that he has no reaction can only mean one thing: he hasn't watched any anime related to this world.
In other words, his advantage as a prophet has been shattered.
This is actually quite normal. Although Roa's predecessor always called himself an otaku, he was only half an otaku and couldn't possibly know all anime like the back of his hand. But now, Roa has fallen into an extremely unfavorable situation.
Seeing Roa's bewildered expression, even the one calling herself the Dusk Witch was stunned in her chair.
She asked with a surprised face, "Hey, you haven't even heard of the Dusk Witch?"
Roa opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he asked an extremely idiotic question.
"Um, are you famous?"
The moment these words came out, Roa could feel the serious expression on her face fade away, replaced by amusement.
The one calling herself the Dusk Witch scanned Roa's body, clicking her tongue in wonder, "You're quite handsome, but it's a pity your brain isn't very bright."
How could Roa endure such an insult? He was about to retort when she suddenly said, "Well, none of that matters. You know the situation with your enrollment this time, right?"
Roa blinked, asking curiously, "What situation?"
"You have the talent to become a spirit user, don't you?"
Roa thought for a moment and nodded. That's right, he chose the identity of a spirit user, so having the talent to become one is only natural, isn't it?
But her next sentence made Roa want to die.
"Only pure maidens can communicate with the spirits of the Astral Zero and form contracts, but you're a man, aren't you?"
Roa fell into deep thought, his mouth twitching. Finally, he asked with a look of astonishment, "Um, are you kidding me? Who said only pure maidens can form contracts with spirits? There are always exceptions, aren't there?"
The Dusk Witch pursed her red lips and smiled, "Indeed, there are exceptions. However, the only male spirit user in history was named Solomon, also known as the Demon King, who brought devastating disasters to this continent and was considered the most evil and terrible being, you know?"
Roa opened his mouth, finally asking unwillingly, "So, what do you want?"
Did he choose the wrong identity this time? No, it shouldn't be that the identity was wrong, but should he blame his gender?
The Dusk Witch chuckled, saying to Roa, "Enough nonsense. My name is Greyworth Ciel Mais. You can call me Greyworth. Normally, just call me Headmaster. I can sense your special physique. Your body seems to be very popular with these spirits."
Greyworth's words immediately reminded Roa of his talent, the Immaculate Body.
Don't let Roa's being a man with a mind full of dirty thoughts fool you. If there's anyone in this world who can be more pure than Roa, he can confidently pat his chest and say, "No one."
Of course, purity is not something that can be used on boys.
Greyworth sat up straight, the indifferent smile on her face disappearing, returning to her original solemn expression.
She said to Roa in a deep voice, "I want you to stay in our academy, accept my supervision, and participate in the Spirit Festival on behalf of the academy."
Hearing another unfamiliar term, even Roa felt a little dizzy.
But having joined the academy inexplicably, and in this situation, Roa couldn't help but ask, "Um, what if I refuse?"
Greyworth shrugged, saying, "The empire's twelve most outstanding spirit users—the 'Twelve Knight Generals'—will be watching you all the time, you know? Or rather, the empire will take more decisive and cruel measures?"
Saying this, Greyworth looked directly at Roa, a devilish smile appearing on her face.
Greyworth said with a smile, "So, young man, what is your choice?"
Roa sighed helplessly, "Since that's the case, I guess I'll stay here, right?"
He is currently in a weak period, his physical fitness has declined severely, and the 'Twelve Knight Generals' sound very formidable just from the name.
In the end, Roa chose to enroll, but at the end, Greyworth said, "Since you're going to participate in the Spirit Blade Dance Festival, your current level is not enough, right? If I'm not mistaken, you don't have a spirit yet."
Roa continued to be bewildered.
From the beginning, he had been in an extremely passive situation.
He doesn't know what spirits are, doesn't know what spirit users are, and his knowledge in this area can be described as blank.
Greyworth was still smiling, but this time her smile was very strange.
Greyworth said to Roa, "Then, in a while, go and contract that spirit, okay?"
Roa frowned, asking, "Which spirit?"
Greyworth nodded, saying to Roa, "Although your talent is commendable, if your strength is not enough, it will still give me a headache. As long as you can contract that spirit, it will be enough to prove your outstanding strength. Come to me in three days, and I will tell you the location. If you succeed, I will take you as my disciple, teach you blade dance, and you can help me with a small favor. We both get what we need, how about it?"
Roa looked at her, this time genuinely curious.
An unknown world, unknown characters, inexplicable tasks, and a development that he doesn't know what will happen in the future.
But now that he is penniless, he doesn't seem to have any room to refuse.
Without saying anything, Roa nodded in agreement. Seeing Roa being so sensible, Greyworth's expression softened a lot.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a girl walked in.
"Ellis Fahrengart, commander of the Sylphid Knights, requests an audience. Headmaster, are you there?"
Roa looked in the direction of the voice, and it was a girl with blue hair, brown eyes, and a fairly delicate appearance.
The clothes she wore were mainly pure white, with some black lines as decoration. This is probably the uniform of this academy? Or something like a school uniform.
Her chest was decorated with a ribbon-like bow, wearing black stockings and a pleated skirt. In terms of figure, she was also quite good.
But this girl named Ellis noticed Roa's gaze, and her face turned red in an instant. She looked at Roa with an extremely surprised look, saying in disbelief, "A man… a man?! No, that's not right, an intruder!"
After saying that, she immediately took action, drawing the sword hanging from her waist.
Roa looked innocent, turning his gaze to Greyworth, only to find that she was looking at Roa with a mischievous smile.
Seeing this, Roa had a very bad feeling.
Roa quickly said, "I'm not—"
Unfortunately, before Roa could finish his words, Ellis had already drawn the knight's sword from her waist, flying out and stabbing the sword straight at Roa's location.
The knight's sword was extremely sharp, there was no doubt about that.
Under the sunlight, it emitted a chilling luster.
Roa's mouth twitched frantically, and his Sword Heart and Transparent World were activated instantly.
The girl's swordsmanship was not bad, but it was definitely not strong.
Almost the moment she rushed up, Roa instantly grabbed the knight's sword in her hand, twisted his wrist, and directly snatched the knight's sword away.
