CHAPTER 12: Time Skip, End of the First Semester, Reward, Message to Liselotte

(Part 3)

"T-That's..." Alphonse was cornered by Roanna's rational rebuttals.

"If you don't have any, then what you're saying is a baseless accusation. It's an insult to the dignity of the academy, and I'm afraid I can't overlook it as the class representative," Roanna declared

strongly.

An additional voice then spoke up in support: "I didn't hear the whole thing, but I understand what you're saying. It's exactly as Roanna says, Alphonse." It's Celia who said this while entering the corridor as she just heard Alphonse remark when she was passing by.

"P-Professor Claire..." Alphonse stutters.

"There have been no signs of cheating, nor attempts at bribery detected on the academy's side. This examination result was completely obtained by Rio's efforts. That, I can guarantee," Celia stated clearly.

"Tch..." Completely lost for words, Alphonse's face screwed up in frustration. "H-Hmph! I won't accept this!". He deposited those words behind, before quickly leaving the scene, with his gang of followers retreating with him.

"All right, everyone. Head to class if you're done checking the grades. Homeroom is about to start," Celia said, clapping her hands together. The gathered onlookers started to scatter in every direction.

Just as everyone disappears, Rio comes toward them, and after turning toward Roanna and Celia, he says while bowing his head in gratitude, "Thank you very much."

"Hmph," Roanna huffed quietly in a try to hide her flustered expression on seeing Rio, but she was betrayed by her flushed face.

"...It's not like I was intervening for your sake. I won't lose next time," she declared, before turning around and leaving too, as she couldn't control herself anymore and started to blush as she walked away from Rio and Celia. Thankfully, Celia was facing her back otherwise, she must have seen Roanna's flushed face, as for Rio how can he miss her blushing face, he saw it with enhanced vision as he and Celia watched her retreat.

"She's not a bad girl, you know. She just has a lot of pride and a rigid sense of duty, so she's strict with herself and with others," Celia said with a wry smile.

"So it seems," Rio agreed with a mysterious smile of his own.

"Are you going to study at the library again today, Rio?" Celia asked. To which Rio replies, "Yes, that's the plan."

"I see. Then let's have tea in my research lab. You can drop by whenever you're ready." Celia says.

"Sure," Rio replies, and Celia on getting his reply also walks away to attend to her duties as a professor.

After all that ruckus in the corridor, Rio is currently taking his class while being surrounded by the questioning eyes of his classmates which he is ignoring very skillfully, as he is talking with three girls in his SPATIAL FARM while checking the new system feature, which has been rewarded with on completing the quest to came on the top of the School Rankings.

[Quest (Completed)

Objective: Whole year, the arrogant students of your class have been trying to pick up a fight with you. And now is the correct time to show your superiority to them, by coming to the top of the School Rankings. Evaluation: SSS, Reward: Dimensional Chat feature for the System.]

But don't confuse it with the Dimensional Chat Group you have read in other novels, it's a bit different as it doesn't have any shop where you can buy items from different worlds, nope. Neither does it give you any mission which you have to complete by going to another world, nope.

In place of all this, it has a much more useful thing. While possessing the basic ability to connect endless dimensions, infinite time, and space. An easily resizable chat screen that is only visible to members, the ability to chat both through mental typing or direct exchange of thoughts just as in Telepathy, but in between endless dimensions, infinite time, and space.

Other than this, it provides a variety of special features that every Dimensional Chat member can use, like personal inventory, etc... and a special space that can only be accessed while sleeping.

During their sleep, a member's consciousness can enter a special space that is under the same protection as Rio's SPATIAL FARM which no one without Rio's permission can enter. This Space is controlled by the Administrator who is Rio, giving him the ability to assimilate any type of environment in that space.

In this Special Space, members are present in the form of their spiritual bodies that work just like their real bodies in the outside world, allowing them to eat, play, and train in any way they want without the fear of dying since they can't die inside this space. And when they leave this space, they will wake up feeling relaxed and energetic as if they have just woken up after a good night's sleep. Other than this, any type of training they did in that space will also affect them in the real world, thus increasing the rate at which their skill proficiency increases.

'So, girls what do you think, I have been thinking of coming in contact with the third transmigrated person and this reward just gave us the way. What are your thoughts? Should I send the membership invite to the third transmigration or not?' Rio asked the girl in SPATIAL FARM through his thoughts.

At this, the one to ask the first question is Latifa, 'Rio-nii, wouldn't it create a possibility that the new member might tell the existence of this Dimensional Chat Group to anyone else close to her?'. Hikari also supports Latifa as she is also thinking the same thing.

'No, there is no such possibility as there are already countermeasures in place which block every member from talking about its existence with any non-member until they have my permission to do so. And I have also applied the same countermeasure for the SPATIAL FARM.' Rio ensures Latifa and Hikari, who lets out a breath of relief on hearing that.

'So, does anyone have any objection against sending the members to invite the third transmigrator to let her join the chat group?' Rio asks again and this time no one asked any question, as Tifa doesn't have one from the start, whereas Latifa's and Hikari's doubts has already been cleared by Rio just now, so they all of them agreed and Rio decided to do this in the evening when she will not with anyone else as this way it will not cause problem to the third transmigrator.

After deciding this, Rio's rest of the day went slipping past the angry students, who wanted to teach him a lesson but weren't able to catch him alone even once in the entire day. But was instead played by Rio as he used genjutsu on them, making them think that their friends are unparalleled beauties, who are trying to kiss them, thus making them kiss each other.

And much to Rio and Tifa and others' amusement, in just less than half an hour the whole academy came to know about it, making them a topic of rumors which may or may not be spread by Rio. This resulted in them being called by the Principle who sent letters to their parents, informing them about their children's behavior.

At the end of the Academy day, Rio went to meet with Celia as usual. There, in Celia's Lab both of them eat sweets and drink tea, in celebration of Rio's coming in the first position in the Semester Exam with Princess Christina, and for this Celia has specially bought the most famous confectioneries from the most renowned shop in the whole capital.

Leaving Celia's Lab, Rio made his way to the Academy Dorm, where after eating dinner Rio went into his room, then entered his SPATIAL FARM which is now comparable to a small state in size.

In there, Rio first sparred with his Shadow Avatars for a while as Tifa, Latifa, and Hikari watch him doing that as it is one of their hobbies. At the end of it, Rio was drenched in sweat so he took a nice hot shower while all three girls cooked dinner for all of them. They later ate together while talking about what they did the whole day, and the girls were laughing out loud knowing Alphonse and others' reactions.

Half an hour later, the four of them are seated in the living room as they drink the after-dinner drinks.

"Everyone, it's time. I am going to invite the Third Transmigrated person in this world to join the Dimensional Chat Group, with a small informative message." Rio informed everyone around him.

"Okay, I have no problem dear." Tifa says, which is followed by, "Me too." from both Hikari and Latifa.

Getting their consent, Rio opens the invitation option in the Dimensional Chat Group and writes the name Liselotte Cretia. Then he writes a small message, telling his identity, then sends the invitation to Liselotte Cretia aka Minamoto Rikka.

"Now, we just have to wait for her to accept and join the Group," Rio said, and they turned on the TV and played a short movie from his original world, released after his death. getting some popcorn Rio started watching it with the girls.
