Nidhogg Can't Keep Up

"Pfft, you idiot."

"Such a stupid answer, only she would say it."

"After all, she is only a ten-year-old child, and she has missed the most golden time. After all, it was a mistake for her to sit in on our university class..."

"Who says it's not? After all, her parents didn't want her to follow their old path. I didn't expect that after their death, this child would choose to inherit."

"Even if she inherits her parents' inheritance, can she understand it? Those are all research materials, not money."

Sighs, ridicule... Just lowering her voice, it was like a poisonous snake spewing out a letter. The little red-haired girl tried her best to stand upright, but she shrank her head timidly, and saw those around her who were seven or eight years older than her , even ten-year-old seniors, trying not to back down.

Okazaki Yumemi has always been a stubborn child.

Professor "Qu Jing" tapped the microphone lightly with his knuckles, and his gentle and pleasant voice spread through the microphone. "Keeping quiet is a basic etiquette when others are speaking."

"Besides, she wasn't wrong."

"what?!"

"how is this possible!"

"The professor is taking care of that child."

Whispers sounded again, faintly heard.

"Humans have a lot of physical knowledge. From ancient times to the present, we have learned a lot of physical laws..." The professor's voice suppressed everything, and the little girl looked at the young man in a suit and a trench coat on the podium. , I don't know if it was an illusion, but she felt a little kindness.

This person is different from others.

"Humanity's knowledge has reached the bottleneck, which is inevitable in the development of civilization... But some things, some phenomena, still cannot be explained by science and physics. This is the lack of knowledge, and it is also our original intention to explore knowledge. For—more knowledge!”

Then, the man cleared his throat, and said something that shocked the physics world, no, not only the physics world, but the entire academic world, and it was also the beginning of the man's reputation plummeting.

——"Everyone, do you believe in magic?"

……

boom!Woo--!

Okazaki Yumemi woke up suddenly with a loud noise.

I'm asleep?

Without thinking about it, the sharp alarm that had been beeping irritated the eardrums, Okazaki Yumemi pressed a button without thinking, and the sound quieted down.

"What happened?" Pressed the switch of the display screen, on which was his assistant.She looked younger, a girl with golden twin ponytails, and a white hat.

Chiyuri Kitashirakawa.

"Mumei..." Chiyuri on the screen smiled as usual, but the smile was forced.

"Call me a professor!" Although she has mentioned it many times, this assistant has never called herself a professor, but she still corrects it habitually.

"Okay, Professor."

"..., what did you do again?" A casual sentence had an unexpected effect, so that Okazaki Yumemi suspected what she had done.

"Of course there is no deza." Chiyuri Kitashirakawa still had that strange oral habit, "It's just that our spaceship was attacked."

"Assaulted? Tell Liuqin to fight back!"

After so many failed space jumps, and finally succeeding, what's the point of being attacked?This spaceship is a fully loaded powerful weapon.

"Uh... this... this is a bit difficult to be honest..."

Hesitating, Chiyuri gave an answer that surprised her, this spaceship has nuclear bombs, how could it be difficult!

"Who attacked us?" After calming down, Okazaki Yume straightened her shawl and tried to ask.

"Uh... Actually, it's not considered an attack, we were just injured by accident..." Somewhat hesitant, Chibaihe finished speaking, and the mechanical maid Liuqin appeared, "Professor, let's take a look first."

As soon as the screen turned, the scene outside the spacecraft was released, and the blue planet on the horizon in the distance made Okazaki Yumemi stunned.

"Are we out of Earth?"

"Don't worry about that! Look at this!" Chiyuri's frantic voice came.

The ground... is full of lava, which seems to have just cooled from the magma state, and is still emitting steam.The scarred earth seemed to have been bombarded by some meteorite rain. This scene was not enough to make Okazaki Yumemi stunned. What really stunned her was the altitude of more than ten meters, the spaceship was hundreds of meters away from the slanted bottom, and one end was about the height of a person. It looks like the imaginary creature described in ancient literature: a demonic humanoid creature, roaring and dancing cold weapons that have long been eliminated, surrounded by black, identical long swords wrapped around lightning, like Arrows kept bombarding the light screen of a hooded man, the lasing rain of swords vibrated in the air, one after another could fly without power, the hooded man with the blue shield around his body was throbbing in the air He retreated, but the demons teleported and kept chasing and killing, the long sword shot randomly, and the lava on the ground was easily pierced.

"Just now, what hit our spaceship was the long sword shot by that handsome humanoid creature, which directly sliced ​​through our deck. Fortunately, it didn't matter." Chibaihe's voice came out.

"How cool is that thing! It's so ferocious, it doesn't look like a human being. Wait...have you got the long sword?!" Okazaki Yumemi's complexion changed.

"No, that thing seems to be a one-off, and it exploded by itself, leaving nothing behind."

Okazaki Yumemi looked around again, pulling away, humans, humans wearing armor, humans with long ears, strange monsters fighting humans, those monsters can launch light bullets by themselves...

"This is... magic?" Okazaki Yumemi was stunned, and even stopped breathing for a moment.

"Professor...professor?" I don't know what happened, Kitashirakawa Chiyuri came to her through the two cabins, and the mechanical maid Liuqin also followed.

"Huh? Ah, it's okay." Seeing that the assistant could also have such a worried look, Okazaki Yumemi smiled unconsciously, "We seem to have achieved our goal. The existence of these guys is not to prove what Professor Li said. ?"

——"Magic exists, and so do miracles"

That man's elegance and calmness in the face of what the husbands pointed out at the beginning is still vivid, but unfortunately... he disappeared, and some people said that he was assassinated...

"What do we do now?"
