After getting back to the Infernal Sect Temple, Yun decided to contact Elle.
She was provided with a device by her that has the capability to circumvent the censorship imposed by Astre.
Yun wanted to contact Elle in light of Zen's arrival. Despite her repeated attempts, she failed to elicit any responses.
After trying again multiple tis, the call finally ca through.
Yun started the conversation by greeting her, "Greetings, Lady Elle."
She replied in a nonchalant manner, "Why did you call ? It better be sothing important."
"Lady Elle, I contacted you because of your son."
"My son? How did you know about him? And What's that got to do with you contacting ?
"Actually, he just arrived on the Outlander continent on a S tier ship."
Elle changed her tone a bit. She was really confused, so she had a lot of questions.
"What did you say?! What the hell is that kid doing there. Did I understand correctly that you ntioned an S tier ship? We have not previously provided him with a ship of this caliber. Are you certain that the person there is indeed my son?"
"He introduced himself as Zenryx, and he also showed the crest of the Raverdieu's. I don't know anything else about your other questions. He did tell sothing about taking his friend as a disciple."
"That is indeed my son. That friend of his is it a girl? Or a boy?"
"A girl."
Elle sarcastically stated while chuckling, "Ah, am I finally getting a grandson?"
Both exchanged small talk for a bit before Elle finally asked, "Did he tell you anything else?"
"He did tell that he would be traveling the world."
Elle sighed "That kid is so unpredictable sotis. The mont he disappeared, he said he would be going on a vacation. Now he is traveling the world."
Elle thought that Zen might've have used the 500 million CDR he had withdrawn out of his account, but she denied this thought. Even that amount was not enough to buy a ship of that caliber.
"He is even using an S tier ship as transportation, and I don't even know where he got it from. I am not sure what to do with this kid anymore."
Yun had never before heard Elle speaking in such a tender manner, demonstrating concern for another person.
Both said their goodbyes and ended the conversation.
Whilst dining at a restaurant, Zen caught a glimpse of a young lady through a windowpane.
The young lady possessed untidy, raven-colored hair. Her attire exhibited signs of being worn and soiled. She had dirt sared across her face.
She assud a reverential stance, lowering herself to a kneeling position in front of the restaurant. It appears that she begging for food.
Nurous individuals who happened to be walking by considered the appearance of this destitute person to be repulsive, thus hesitating to approach her.
This world was simply too wicked. The strong eat the weak. This is the modus operandi of this world. They harbored no compassion or empathy towards the young girl.
Zen, upon witnessing the sight, rose from his seat, proceeded towards the young lady, and graciously presented her with a piece of bread. The young lady promptly seized the loaf of bread from his grasp without so much as glancing in his direction.
She comnced devouring the bread with haste, displaying an insatiable hunger akin to that of a hungered animal.
Zen saw that she had finished the bread. So he handed her water and asked her, "What is your na?"
Upon witnessing Zen's visage, she found herself captivated beyond control. Unable to refrain, she found herself biting her lips while reminiscing about her uncivilized animal like eating manner.
She averted her gaze, experiencing timidity, and replied, "I-I m-my na is Xue Shan."
"Xue Shan, huh, what a nice na. If you don't mind, may I ask what you are doing here?"
"S-sure I don't mind."
Shan then told Zen about her life story slowly from the beginning. She was actually soone who was raised in an orphanage. Due to so circumstances, the orphanage closed down. She told him about the director embezzling the funds that were supposed to be used to maintain it.
Now all the kids have been taken in by people. There were also unfortunate ones who are now wondering the streets like her.
In fact, Zen recognized this girl, who resembled soone from the novel he had read. His guess has finally been confird after hearing her na. This Shan girl was going to et Edward when he arrives to Outlander with Eliza.
Knowing Edward's kind personality, he would take pity on this girl and help her. That was when he took her with him to attend the Pontiac Academy. Over ti, she rose to power, and her timid personality transford. Shan did not have any feelings for Edward, she was only grateful. She was a supporting character in the novel.
He simply ca here for Yun because he thought he could just recruit people in the Academy. But now that he had t her coincidentally. Naturally, he would take her in as his follower.
Zen then asked the girl if she wanted to co with him, as she no longer had any place to go. She agreed easily, she did not want to miss this chance to get out of this sh*thole. Also, after seeing his appearance, she wanted to get a little closer to him.
Zen led her inside the restaurant and told her to eat. While they were eating, he told her about his plans to travel around the world before taking her to Pontiac Academy.
She revealed a joyful expression after hearing his words. She also thought that traveling around the world would be fun.
After eating, Shan led Zen to places to visit. They continued until it was about to get dark. They had visited the majority of the places, so Zen decided to set off and leave the continent.
Zen got his ship out of his storage ring, shocking Shan. She eventually cald down, as after seeing his appearance, she naturally knew that Zen was soone of high status. She just did not expect that she would et soone like him in such a rundown restaurant.
Zen then thought, [I'll co back once the Pontiac Students go to the Twilight Zone." I have not fought for a long ti now. That would be a chance to have so fun. Maybe I could also disguise myself and fight the instructors, also hmm...]
Once he had finished gathering his thoughts. They boarded the ship, flying away from the Outlander continent. Shan looked out the window and felt happy that she was finally getting out of that sh*thole.
