The Boundless Journey, Starting From Bofuri

After seeing the police officers withdraw, Yukino and Rikka also quickly took action. Although both possessed Nen and Chakra, Yukino's Nen wasn't very abundant, and she hadn't yet developed a Nen Ability for group attacks. So, she also used Magic Missiles, firing them through Yui's fire wall at the giant bats.

Rikka couldn't use Magic Missile. Her Chakra Reserves were low, and her control wasn't very proficient yet, so she could only temporarily use Fireball spells to attack the monsters.

As for Ui, it was simpler and faster. With her super high speed and strength attributes, holding the Kusanagi Sword, she easily killed the monsters with one slash each.

Moreover, with her still-sufficient Nen, she used Shu to envelop the Kusanagi Sword, making the already exceptionally sharp blade several levels sharper. So, her killing efficiency was much higher than Yukino and the others'.

Seeing Ui constantly active, many giant bats glared at her with hatred and surrounded her.

Facing the bats' encirclement, Ui used Revolving Heaven with Nen, easily repelling the giant bats, then casually finished them off.

The person in charge, watching from afar as Yukino and the others effortlessly killed the bats, sighed with emotion. He was filled with confidence regarding this disaster. As long as these Ability Users existed, humans would definitely not be defeated, even by these strange monsters.

Apart from Yukino's group, on another side, Umaru and Taihei, along with Hachiman, Ritsu, and Mio, arrived at an area ravaged by bats.

The combat power of the five was also considerable. Although slightly weaker than Yukino's group of four, the difference wasn't large.

Mainly, Umaru and Taihei were the top fighters in their team, while Hachiman, Ritsu, and Mio weren't weak either.

Facing these giant bats with roughly D to C-Rank strength, everyone dealt with them very quickly.

"I wonder if Takeru is okay alone over there!" While fighting, Mio thought of Takeru going alone to intercept thousands of bats and couldn't help but worry.

'Rather than worrying about that monster, we should worry about ourselves.' Hearing Mio's words, Hachiman, who was fighting, rolled his eyes inwardly.

But he didn't dare say it out loud, or it might reach the others' ears, and the female members of the team would give him trouble.

After all, there was precedent. Before, when Yuta sighed about Takeru being freakishly strong, he was glared at by several women.

Even the super-good-tempered Tsumugi smiled and took away Yuta's dessert, only restoring it on the third day...

"Don't worry, Takeru is a freak. You don't know, in the Ninja World, he was beating monsters like Orochimaru and Gaara, and most importantly, it seemed like Takeru wasn't even using much power!" Unlike Hachiman's worry, Ritsu spoke directly and straightforwardly.

As for Orochimaru, although everyone didn't know who he was before, as the person responsible for the Konoha Crush Plan, who killed the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Hokage, and was praised as one of the Legendary Sannin, just that made everyone aware of Orochimaru's terror.

Hearing Ritsu say this, Mio came to her senses, then quickly knocked away an attacking bat.

"Whew, Mio, another recovery tune, please!" Ritsu, who had used the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique to kill a few giant bats, panted and said to Mio.

"Got it!" Hearing this, Mio quickly took out her Teigu, [Scream] and began to play.

Hearing Mio's tune, everyone who was somewhat fatigued became agile again.

Compared to Yukino's and Umaru's groups, the last group, Tsumugi, Sylphin, Yuta, and others, were slightly weaker in combat power. Coupled with needing to take care of Hiratsuka and Nibutani, the two new members, they were mainly involved in rescue operations and fighting small numbers of monsters...

Besides the members, the area near Takeru's home also suffered some attacks. Karin and Miki fought as best they could, saving many people.

As time passed, Takeru noticed the number of bats entering the spatial connection point had significantly decreased.

Seeing this, Takeru understood that the situation outside was probably under control. Thinking this, Takeru sighed lightly in relief.

Then he left one clone guarding the cave entrance just in case, while his main body entered the underground prison.

Because Takeru used a lighting spell, it was very bright inside the cave. With more light, most of the children's emotions were soothed.

Takeru also got to know a few cute children. Hinatsuru Ai was one, another was Ichijo Hotaru, and a girl with a somewhat expressionless face, Miyauchi Renge. After a little contact, Takeru noticed Renge had very peculiar thought patterns.

Or rather, her train of thought was a bit different from ordinary people. So, although only seven years old and just a first-grader, after being captured here, she not only didn't cry but also actively took on the work of comforting others.

As for Hotaru, although about the same age as Miu, she seemed somewhat mature for her age, looking almost like a middle school student. She also became a substitute to save her classmate...

Besides these, a few other children were also decent, but compared to Hinatsuru, Renge, and Hotaru, Takeru didn't find them particularly outstanding.

Most importantly, the appearances of Hinatsuru and the other two were very similar to anime characters Takeru had seen in his past life. That is to say, they should be so-called important plot characters, but Takeru didn't remember the specifics.

Or rather, Takeru had only seen short videos of them before, but what specific anime they were from, Takeru wasn't clear.

Of course, since this is a mixed reality world, importance is equal for everyone when facing disaster. But the outstanding performances of the few still made Takeru remember them.

"Clap clap. Alright, everyone, come over here, children!" Returning to the prison, Takeru gently clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. With his super high affinity, Takeru quickly calmed the children.

Hearing Takeru's words, the many children looked at Takeru curiously.

"I'll perform a magic trick for everyone. After watching the magic trick, everyone can eat and then go home!" Looking at everyone, Takeru said with a light laugh.

"Okay!" Hearing Takeru's words, the over two hundred children present responded in unison.

"Alright, then first this: my hand is empty, right?" Takeru extended his completely empty hand, showing everyone.

"Mhmm!" Everyone nodded curiously.

"Then, next is the moment to witness a miracle!" Seeing everyone's attention completely captured, Takeru smiled lightly, then closed his hand. When he opened it again, an ice rose was suspended in his palm.

"Wow!"

"So pretty!"

Seeing the ice rose suspended above Takeru's palm, everyone exclaimed in admiration. Hinatsuru and Renge looked at Takeru with especially admiring eyes.

"Hehe, next is this!" Then, as Takeru willed it, the ice rose began to enlarge. After reaching a certain size, it exploded, turning into glittering ice fragments. Under the light, they looked crystal clear and very beautiful.

Afterwards, Takeru quickly took out a huge box and began pulling out many kinds of food from inside...

Fortunately, Takeru had the habit of storing food in his item slots. Especially since time doesn't pass in the item slots, so besides some dry rations, Takeru had prepared and stored many cooked foods in advance.

"Come on, everyone sit down nicely. After eating, you can go home." Seeing the many children unconsciously holding their stomachs while looking at the delicious food, Takeru said with a light laugh.

Then, with Hotaru and a few older children leading, they distributed the delicious food to the many children, and everyone quickly began eating.

Of course, the cooked food Takeru prepared naturally couldn't be enough. But at the cave entrance, Takeru's clones were still quickly preparing meals.

After over an hour of busy work, everyone finally had a meal. Because they used Spider Eagle's eggs to cook egg soup, everyone ate and drank with great relish.

To reward the children who helped, Takeru specially took out a giant strawberry and made a fruit salad to share with everyone.

Watching everyone enjoying the delicious food, Takeru closed his eyes, sensing the situation outside...

Because the spatial connection point was high in the air, about ten-something meters above ground level here, Takeru created a special staircase, naturally using Earth Release.

The connection point in the main world was also about twenty meters from the ground, so Takeru used Demon's Extract to create a special ice slide.

Of course, not for the children to slide down directly, but he also created something like a rollercoaster car. They could sit in it and wait for the car to slowly slide down.
