My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—
Chapter 404 Emma’s Home PlanetAs the dimensional portal slowly dissipated into thin air, the crowd shifted into a state of silence. The two finalists were down on the ground, more beat up than they initially were after the Official Beast Tournament concluded.
One could assume that the two of them were exhausted to the point where they were drastically weakened, but other skeptics said otherwise. Then again, they weren't believed by the majority who were convinced that the two of them were deserving finalists.
Throughout the history of the Official Beast Tournament, this was the first time the awarding ceremony was canceled on that day. It happened the next day after Satoshi and Yun Zhe had enough rest. They were beaten up, after all, and it wouldn't look good in the public's eye if they had to attend the awarding ceremony on their condition.
And to those who were wondering the semifinalists were both given the award for third place. Kim Jin Seok and White Mist were both in the same position. There were debates about whether they should've fought for third place but the majority accepted the outcome so the debate reached its conclusion before the next day had arrived.
With that, the Official Beast Tournament had ended, and it was time for the Midoriyama Family (and everyone else except for Satoshi's grandparents) to return to Japan. The new semester for school was bound to start in two weeks' time, and Emma and Lydia wanted to prepare as much as they could before then.
The Star Spangled (the number one superhero of America) was generous enough to lend Midoriyama Tatsuki (Satoshi's father and the number one superhero of Japan) his private plane. And with that, the group had a luxurious flight going back to Japan. It was surprising how all of them fit inside that plane, considering that there were new arrivals on the last day of the Official Beast Tournament (namely, Lydia Schwarz, Nishimura Haruka (the Nurse), and Otomi Elimine (Plume)).
...
Approximately two weeks later, two days before the new semester.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn a planet in another dimension, Satoshi and Emma sat in front of a makeshift campfire as they camped for the night. It was almost nighttime, and Satoshi— with the help of Dex who was looking up recipes for an easy-to-cook stew— was mixing a number of vegetables in a pot with boiling water. It had been five days since they'd arrived at Emma's home planet, and Satoshi still wasn't used to the two moons which constantly revolved around the planet.
Countless stars and distant galaxies illuminated the skies. Just from one glance, Satoshi could tell that he wasn't on Earth. The skies were far brighter than it was on Earth, Satoshi couldn't even compare the two.
"Hopefully this turns out good. I'm not a good cook, but I did follow the recipe and your instructions to the letter, Dex." Satoshi muttered to himself as he continued stirring the pot.
Pretty soon, the stew started simmering, and Satoshi could smell the savory fragrance of the stew. He heaved a sigh of relief as he smiled contentedly. "Now we're talking." He uttered.
"You're getting the hang of it. That's nice." Emma complimented him, handing him a bowl and chopsticks. "On our first night, you were a total beginner. You didn't even know how to cook rice properly."
"That, that comment right there... it can be taken out of context, you know." Satoshi felt Emma's words straight to his heart. Even though it wasn't true, he felt a tad bit hurt.
"You shouldn't say something like that, Emma." Another person heaved a sigh as she stuck a bunch of fish on sticks right around the campfire.
"Ah, Shiroi, how did the training go?" Satoshi greeted just when Shiroi arrived at camp. "Were their tamed beasts strong?"
Shiroi heaved a sigh, kneeling down as she patted her tamed beast, Ice Penguin. She then nodded to Satoshi in response. "Yeah, they were strong. I was surprised that they couldn't defend this world. We lost every single match. Isn't that right, Ice Penguin?"
As Shiroi rubbed the lower part of its beak, the Ice Penguin started cooing in delight. It was still small as ever. Ever since Satoshi first saw it, it never grew.
"We are strong. Even our power to create dimensional portals was pretty strong." Emma continued, recalling the memory of the first night when the invaders attacked. "But when those aliens attacked, bringing with them powerful tamed beasts, we stood no chance against them."
"The World Eater, right? I heard Satoshi mention it once or twice." Shiroi continued. "In any case, we're almost done with the subjugation. We only need to defeat one beast and then we can go home... isn't that right?"
To be fair, Shiroi wasn't supposed to be included in this journey. After all, Emma took it upon herself to restore her own world and eliminate the potential threats of powerful tamed beasts there. A few months ago, she initially came to Earth so she could recruit the most powerful beast tamer/superhero alive, and her device pointed at Satoshi. She had asked him for help, and Satoshi was willing to help out.
But on the day they were supposed to go, Shiroi caught wind of their plan and she insisted on coming along. There were a couple of rejections— mainly from her dad— but her insistent attitude paid off and she was allowed. This trip was supposed to include Emma and Satoshi, but Shiroi came as well.
For the past few days, Satoshi had been going around Emma's home planet. With the help of Emma and Shiroi, he started taming the other powerful beasts and letting them live freely. This way, they'd act as guardians of the home planet instead of terrorizing it. It wasn't really a subjugation, per se, but Satoshi wanted to call it that despite the cruel meaning behind the word.
Thanks to these experiences, Satoshi was able to train his superpower as well as challenge his ability as a beast tamer. At present, he had tamed at least twenty legendary beasts, and all of them were now guarding Emma's home planet.
This doesn't mean that Satoshi didn't have command over them. In fact, he could summon any one of them at any given time and they would wholly obey Satoshi's orders. At the moment, they were commanded to roam around their designated area while guarding the people who lived there.
Since they were all legendaries, Satoshi had a hard time with some of them but they didn't really pose that much of a challenge. With the right information regarding these legendaries, Satoshi was able to tame them. It was all thanks to his trusty System-Type Representative Dex who was the mastermind behind the plethora of information Satoshi received.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd now, with only two days left before Emma's 'enrollment' to the United Superheroes Academy, there was only one threat left before they could go back home. Rumors said that it was the strongest out of all the beasts Satoshi had to tame so far.
It looked like a gigantic snake clad in purple smoke, and it emitted purple lightning— or so that's what the description goes. It was at least twice as long as the Statue of Captivity, and it was rumored to stay atop the tallest mountain on the planet. There, an endless thunderstorm existed, and that particular tamed beast fed off of that thunderstorm in order to get stronger.
"I'm sorry, can you repeat that again, Dex?" Satoshi just put a spoonful of stew in his mouth when Dex spoke, and now his mouth hung open in slight shock as the potatoes and carrots slipped from his lips.
"It's a Representative. It's called the Quasar Lightning Snake, or a Quasar Snake, and it's a Representative." Dex simply stated in his usual monologue tone.
"A Representative? What's that?" Emma and Shiroi asked simultaneously, they then looked at each other after the jinx and then back at Satoshi.
"It's a beast that's a scale stronger than any other legendaries out there. There are only a limited number of Representatives to exist in the entire universe, and to think that there's one right here..." Satoshi trailed off.
At first, he had thought that this entire mission would be easy. Dealing with legendaries and pseudo-legendaries is easy, and he had done it without breaking a sweat. This was the reason why he was able to accomplish so much in just a couple of days. But now, Dex was telling him that the last beast he had to tame was actually a Representative? Two days just won't cut it. He'd need at least a couple more days to get more information regarding the Representative. And after that, he'd be able to formulate a plan.
"What are you talking about, Satoshi? You were able to take me on without knowing anything about me. I'm sure you can tame this snake just fine." A voice behind Satoshi spoke.
It was none other than Amy (aka Copycat, the latest Representative that Satoshi tamed).
"Of course, you didn't intend to kill me from the start. If you were serious, you'd have eliminated me from this life, right then and there." Satoshi responded.
"I'm sorry who's that?" Shiroi asked. This was the first time she saw Copycat and she was flabbergasted.
As for Emma, she just had a straight face while she continued eating. She was used to seeing Satoshi's familiars pop up here and there that it didn't even surprise her anymore.
