Endless Silver Machine

Shimozuki Academy's "Mistas" is an aviation guided ship that ranks first in the continent in terms of overall performance. It was completely designed and modified by the owner.

The two sides of the ship are connected to rectangular thick decks that are almost the same length. They are not unfolded at this moment, but folded to reduce the air resistance encountered during flight.

The people accompanying him were not only those who were in the principal's office yesterday, but also some instructors from auxiliary disciplines such as the equipment department and support department, as well as the staff of the aviation magic ship.

It was the second time for Aika and Wei Xi to board this aviation guided ship, and it was the third time for Senior Tiruya, so they did not act as surprised as Luo Luo and Ling.

The aviation magic ship is also known as an aviation battleship. It is even larger than the battleships of the ocean fleet. The sight of such a steel behemoth soaring in the sky must be incredible.

In order not to conflict with the route of the civilian airship, the "Mystis" directly lifted off to a position of 5,000 meters and started sailing, so that it would not collide with the civilian airship with a maximum altitude of 3,000 meters.

No matter what the environment is, the interior of the aviation magic ship is always a constant environment. Whether it is thin oxygen or atmospheric pressure, it will not affect the passengers inside the aviation magic ship.

Mystis is now in a stable flight state, so they can still move around as they please.

"Brother, 'Mistas' is so powerful."

"Well, I still feel this way no matter how many times I watch it."

Aika stood by the window with the girls, overlooking the endless pure white clouds.

The shadows seen from different angles showed a full three-dimensional effect. The clouds like cotton candy split into two bunches when the aviation magic ship passed by, and then quickly gathered together.

"It looks delicious..."

I don’t know if Wei Xi, who was leaning against the window because she was not tall enough, remembered the marshmallows she had eaten during the festival, and suddenly whispered something.

Hearing Wei Xi's words, Aika almost laughed out loud.

"Can clouds be eaten?"

Unexpectedly, Luoluo thought about Wei Xi's question seriously.

"You two..."

"You should be able to eat it. Aren't clouds just water vapor gathered into a ball?"

Ling, who originally thought she would not get involved in such children's topics, also started to have wild thoughts. However, Aika couldn't explain why, she could only watch the girls' beautiful fantasies gently from the side.

"Then...if you eat it, will it taste the same as water..."

"Who knows, if 'Mystis' stops here, it should be able to collect it."

"No, absolutely not."

Aika finally couldn't help but stopped him. He didn't know whether Ling was joking with them or serious.

Most of what she said was serious. If she really asked "Mistas" to stop here because of her request, I don't know how much she would be scolded when she went back.

"...Why are you so serious?"

"Eh? Don't you really want to try the taste?"

Aika was stunned. Because it wasn't something they couldn't do, and they were all looking forward to it, Aika didn't feel like it was a joke at all.

"Seriously... Even though I am serious, I don't think I will really try it."

Ling looked at Aika with an expression of disbelief.

"Brother is like a child."

"Hehe... Brother Aika also has such thoughts..."

The eyes of Luoluo and Wei Xi were so gentle, so gentle that Aika's heart, which she thought would not be shaken, was hurt.

Tirua-senpai, who had been listening to their conversation since just now, came over with her arms crossed.

"Aika, are you the type who is hot inside and cold outside?"

"Isn't this right..."

Aika no longer has the energy to complain. He felt like they were being used as a toy, and he had a complex emotion that he couldn't explain in words.

"Aika, come here with me."

"Um?"

Senior sister Tiruya would come to find him, and Aika was a little confused.

"I'll borrow him for a while."

Like Ling, Senior Tirua didn't like procrastination. Seeing that Aika was still standing still, she grabbed his hand forcefully.

As long as he greeted them, he could be taken away without asking what he thought. Aika's attitude seemed to be fully known to the friends around him.

"Telua-senpai..."

It wasn't until Aika took the initiative to follow her that Senior Tiruya let go of his hand.

In fact, the two of them did not move too far from the window. On "Mystis", the range of free movement was still limited.

This distance seemed to be just to prevent them from hearing the conversation between the two. Aika looked towards the window, and they seemed to be back to their original topic.

Withdrawing his attention, Aika looked at Tirua-senpai.

"Although it's a little late to ask this question now... Do you still remember when you met the Nemesis Society near the Imperial City Defense Bureau a year ago?"

"Yeah, I still remember."

Tylua-senpai's sister, Ruth, is the director of the Imperial City Defense Bureau, so she also knows about the existence of the Nemesis Society.

At that time, it was Senior Tiruya and Ling who entered the "field" of the man in white and rescued themselves and Luo Luo who were trapped in it.

Moreover, what the man in white told him at that time would not be forgotten so easily.

"Yes, that's when...after that, did your body experience any strange changes?"

"Strange changes?"

Aika tilted her head and thought for a moment, not understanding what the "strange place" that Senior Tiruya was referring to.

"It's just different from before. Don't you have this feeling?"

"Hmm...probably not."

"That's good……"

Tirua-senpai breathed a sigh of relief, but Aika still didn't understand the reason for her relief.

"Then it doesn't matter, let's go back."

"oh oh……"

Aika had no idea what exactly Tiruya-senpai wanted to tell her.

However, she seemed to have returned to Luoluo's circle in a hurry, so the problem was settled.

…………

The light from the window gradually dimmed, and everyone knew that they were not far from their destination.

Teacher Letika and Teacher Wilber walked into this cubicle together.

"We are about to pass through the thunderstorm layer. You all should quickly return to your seats and sit down."

Instructor Wilber drove all the girls gathered around the window back to their seats.

"Student Wei Xi, leave this to the instructors. You must keep an eye on her."

The reason why Teacher Letika warned everyone so much was because of an incident that happened before departure.

Wei Xi knew that "Mistas" needed to use a barrier to protect its body when passing through the thunderstorm layer, so she volunteered to take on this task. But of course this request was rejected by Instructor Letika. This time, among the instructors who were traveling together, there were also people who were good at using barrier magic.

As a student of the investigation team, we cannot consume a lot of magic power here. Wei Xi did not consider this at the time.

After understanding the reason, Wei Xi would not act without permission even if Teacher Letika didn't tell them so now.

"I won't run around..."

She huddled in her seat aggrievedly, and Luoluo smiled bitterly and helped her fasten her seat belt.

Even though "Mystis" is protected by a barrier that can prevent direct strikes from lightning, the body will inevitably experience bumps.

Sitting in the seat, you can already feel that "Mistas" is slowly decelerating.

"It's finally almost here..."

When this thought came up, Aika felt a little nervous. I didn't feel this way because I deliberately diverted my attention along the way.

If Principal Phyllis's judgment is correct, the floating island will react to her magic suit.

Aika looked at the silver wrist wheel. The smooth surface of the Fiery Eyes reflected the soft light above her head, twinkling dots.

Luoluo's orchid heart seemed to be responding to a little bit of silver light, exuding a faint blue light.

Through the thick steel, the thunder roaring outside the window can be vaguely heard.

Aika, who was sitting by the window, closed the curtains. Although I was very interested in the sight of flashing lightning, the other four girls who didn't even want to hear the thunder wouldn't resonate with me.

"It should be able to pass smoothly..."

Luo Luo and Wei Xi's fingers intertwined on the armrest, and their nervousness was conveyed through this small movement.

The body turbulence of "Mystis" was not as violent as expected.

…………

During the long silent wait, the bumps seemed to have stopped.

Aika slightly opened a gap in the curtains, and light that was different from the clouds shone in.

"It looks like it passed through the thunderstorm layer."

As he spoke, he opened the curtains.

Soft sunlight shines through the glass into the cubicle.

It's like two different worlds are displayed in everyone's eyes.

Behind us are thunder and lightning, and in front of us is a garden full of spring scenery.

The colorful stream of light separated the two worlds like a curtain, and the aviation magic ship sailed into the barrier at a slow speed.

"So beautiful."

From the window, you can see the colorful curtain that can't be seen at a glance, Ling can't help but sigh.

"Xiao Xi, let's go and take a look together."

After helping Wei Xi unbuckle her seat belt, Luo Luo also trotted to the window with Wei Xi.

The aviation guided ship has completely passed through the barrier, and you can appreciate the beautiful sky as you look around.

"So there is a barrier like this."

"The barrier at Frost Moon Academy should be similar to this one."

For unknown enchantments that have not yet been analyzed, in everyone's eyes, the only difference is whether they have specific forms.

His eyes moved from the rear of the aviation magic ship to the earth, overlooking it from the window.

"This is the ruins."

If he hadn't known it beforehand, Aika wouldn't even have believed that this was just a floating island.

Shimozuki Academy's aviation guided ship "Mystis" landed in a flat field.
