The Story of the Fate of the Digital Series

Volume 5: Welcome to the World of Nagao Trees! ([-])

(four)

Hi, welcome to the fantasy planet of 'Inverted Tree' where science and magic coexist. It is also a world where humans and Digimon coexist. Lovely aliens... OK, OK!I'm just kidding, after all the aliens in the comics and movies are supposed to be stronger or weirder.Oh, don't be angry, this little monster with no name.

As a passionate guide, let me briefly introduce my world!

The world of 'The Naked Tree' is divided into four kingdoms.They are 'Azunafu' (Atziluth), 'Beria' (Beriah), 'Yuzera' (Yetzirah), and 'Assiah'.

And the area we are in is located in the autonomous prefecture of 'Severity' in the middle of 'Assaye' kingdom and 'Uzera' kingdom. 'Spalatine' autonomous prefecture became an independent region with autonomous sovereignty 100 years ago. It is not subordinate to any country and has an independent political system.And the capital of the 'Spalatine' autonomous prefecture is of course the city of 'Metu Leon'.The best elite hunter academy 'Victory' (Victory) is also there, by the way, we are also students of 'Victory' academy.

Although the city of 'Metullion' has undergone many changes in recent years, I still like this city very much.Haha, Kenny and I were born in the 'Spalatine' autonomous prefecture, and Susan is from the 'Uzera' kingdom.As for Duira, she is from the Kingdom of 'Beria'.

What is Hunter Academy?Gwent, you forgot to tell the 'cuties' about the natural enemies of humans and Digimon.Never mind, let me explain.

Let’s start with the dirty beast.Dirty beasts, as the natural enemies of humans and Digimons, occupy most of the world of "inverted trees". They have threatened the survival of humans and Digimons since ancient times, and the war between the two races and Digimons has never stopped Pass.Moreover, no matter how powerful the Digimon is, it cannot destroy the Dirty Beast, and only humans can destroy the Dirty Beast.Therefore, except for a few human beings with extremely powerful abilities, most hunters with ordinary abilities partner with Digimon to fight against dirty beasts.

Ability you say?Of course it refers to superpowers and the like.Human beings with super powers are still very common in the world of the Nagao tree, but no matter how powerful they are, they are not as powerful as Digimon, except for a very small number of supernatural beings.My ability?I'll explain it later, next I'm talking about hunters.

Hunter, from ancient times to the present, is a title used to refer to humans and Digimon who fight against filthy beasts.Basically, as the most respected warrior in the world of the Nagao tree, he is much more skilled than the kingdom's army and police.A high-risk, high-paying occupation that hunts vile beasts and protects townships, usually alone or in small groups.Of course, there are also fallen hunters who are hired by evil forces for money and do some shady deeds.

Therefore, the Elite Hunter Academy is specially used to cultivate excellent hunters who protect the world and hunt down the beasts.However, it is not that simple to enter the Hunter Academy, unless you have received years of basic combat training at the Junior Hunter Academy and passed the strict entrance examination before you can enter the academy.If you have excellent combat ability and very powerful abilities, you can enter even if you have not been trained in the Junior Hunter Academy.

My ability is explosive power, which can cause the body to explode with huge energy in a very short period of time, improve the quality of strength and speed, and make my own destructive power stronger.

"That is to say... you are all good at fighting? Have you fought dangerous filthy beasts many times?"

Yabei looked at Kenny who was a few years older than him in surprise.

"That's right!"

Kenny looked proud.

"I feel like a useless person...can't fight, have no superpowers, a useless alien..."

Yabei, who felt a little "wastewood", was a little shocked and said to himself.

"**, don't compare the common sense of the human world with the common sense of another world."

Facing Yabei's soliloquies, the little monster continued to stare blankly at his partner.

"Don't be sad, Yabei. There are only a few hunters, most of them are ordinary people like you."

Realizing that she had hurt Yabei a little, Kenny, who was sitting next to her, comforted her.

"Kennie, is it okay that we keep ignoring that boy? He seems to need more help."

Looking at Kai who was sitting by the car window, Duila still couldn't ignore Kai who was depressed and silent.

"Kay... don't you say something? You are always so depressed, it really makes everyone very worried."

Elbowing Kai, Yabei signaled that he could say something.

"Ah, yes, sorry for making you worry."

Kai, who came back to his senses, quickly apologized.

"My partner sacrificed to protect us, even if he reincarnates as a digital egg, I'm not happy..."

"If I have the ability to help him, maybe the Alpha Beast won't sacrifice itself to protect us..."

Kay's expression was very remorseful.

"There's nothing to blame, Kay."

Sighing lightly, Duila comforted him with a concerned tone.

"For the world of 'Inverted Tree', there are a lot of lives that have died due to danger. Besides, Digimon are just like humans. After losing their life, there is no chance of reincarnation. At least, you are very lucky, you Your partner can be reincarnated into a digital egg after death, which also means that you have not completely lost your important partner, but just started again."

"Well……"

It seems to make sense.

"Don't get lost, Kai, your partner will hatch sooner or later. Today can also be counted as your lucky day, after all, you have a beautiful big sister who is by your side and will enlighten you."

Kenny laughed.

"Kay, it turns out that you really like mature girls..."

Yabei looked at Kai with disdain.

"No, no! I didn't think about anything!"

A little confused about why Yabei misunderstood him, Kay quickly explained.

"Haha, just kidding, doesn't this make you more energetic?"

Seeing Kay's flustered expression, Yabei couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you making such a joke..."

Kay was a little aggrieved.

"Don't care, I just don't want to see you continue to be depressed."

"Hey, everyone, we've reached the city of 'Metullion'!"

Soon, Susan, who was in charge of driving, drove the sports car into the city.

'Metu Leon', a large city full of prosperity and vitality, is composed of streets with various characteristics.

An endless stream of pedestrians/digimon, a bustling commercial street; a large number of high-end hotels and restaurants; an entertainment street like a city that never sleeps; an administrative area with neat streets; and a green grassy central square; there is also a great atmosphere of life residential area.

"What, it's no different from the city we live in."

Looking at the face of the city outside the window, the little monster yawned bored.

"The difference is that there are as many Digimon as there are humans."

"But if you take a closer look, the promotional text on the billboard is completely incomprehensible... Although the text looks like letters, it is not a regular letter."

Yabei can't understand the characters of the other world at all, but why can the language be understood?

"It's a different world after all..."

Kay answered Kia North's question.

"If you don't understand anything, you can ask us anytime!"

He was very considerate of Yabei's mood, and Gwent always maintained an enthusiastic attitude.

"When can we arrive at the academy? What kind of person is your headmaster?"

Yabei continued to ask.

"The school is a bit far from the city. As for Mr. Principal, he is a very prestigious person like the mayor. His life experience has always been mysterious and he knows many unknown secrets. Although Mr. Principal looks very young on the surface, there are rumors It is said that his age is as old as an antique. Moreover, Principal Merlin's ability seems to be 'precognition', and I think everything that happened today must be within the scope of Mr. Principal's prediction."

All in all, the Mr. Principal mentioned by Gwent is a very mysterious character.

(Fives)

'Victory' Academy, as Gwent said, is the only and best elite academy in the city of 'Metullion'.

Whether it's the Gothic style of architecture, the college square with a tarmac, the green college garden, or the amphitheater with a glass dome.

In short, the school covers a very large area, even including a large forest area.

but……

"Why didn't I see other students, it couldn't be because of the holidays, right?"

Yabei, who didn't see other students, asked Gwent who was leading the way.

"Actually... the city of Metullion suffered a terrible attack half a year ago, especially the academy, which showed serious signs of damage. Mr. Principal spent several months rebuilding the academy, so it temporarily stopped operations. In addition, after the disaster, most people left here and returned to their hometowns. However, the college will resume operations soon, and the difficulties are only temporary."

Feeling as if something was being concealed, Gwent's answer was too curt.

"The principal's office is here. If you see Mr. Principal, don't be too restrained. Feel free to ask questions, and he will definitely answer."

Up to the deepest part of the corridor in the teaching building, everyone stopped in front of a very dignified door.

"Then can the method of making the alpha beast hatch as soon as possible also be answered?"

I hope the partner can hatch as soon as possible, Kay asked expectantly.

"Kay, it's better to hatch the digital egg naturally..."

Yabei couldn't help complaining.

"It's here anyway, just push the door open."

Without intending to knock on the door, Kenny pushed the door open.Hey, that's really impolite!

"Principal Merlin, we have brought our lovely guests."

"It's an honor to meet you, distinguished guests from another world."

Everyone was greeted by a silver-haired man wearing glasses, who was probably under 30 years old.

"I am the principal of 'Victory' College, Professor Merlin."

"First, first time meeting, please give me more advice, Mr. Principal."

Yabei, who was a little nervous, quickly showed his polite side.

"Relax, child. Although your appearance is indeed within my 'prediction', I still hope to chat with you more."

Mr. Principal is really a very accommodating person.

"Gwent, Susan, Kenny, Doyla, you have done a very good job, thank you for helping these distinguished guests."

"Helping those in need is also within the scope of the hunter's obligation."

Gwent was still very happy to be praised by the principal.

"Principal Merlin, after you have finished talking with the honored guest. May I ask if you can tell us the truth about Elizabeth's partner?"

Although Yabei and the others still don't know that the world of 'Analogous Tree' is facing collapse and destruction, Duila still wants to know the truth.No, not only myself, Gwent, Susan, and Kenny also have the same mood.The video that Elizabeth passed on to everyone when she left left only the information that Principal Merlin knew the truth.She also firmly believed that Merlin would tell everyone.

"Duila, maybe it's not the time to ask now?"

A little embarrassed, Kenny reminded her partner in a low voice,

"Although it's not the time, it's a good job, Duira."

Gwent is very supportive of Duila's directness.

"I understand your feelings, no problem."

Principal Merlin readily agreed.

"It feels like they are really hiding something?"

Yabei, who was not easy to interrupt, could only stand quietly aside.

"Who knows, I don't want to meddle in my own business anyway."

The little monster has no interest at all.

"Next, I will have a private chat with the distinguished guests, and you may need to leave for a while."

Of course, it's better for the students to avoid the conversation with the 'guest' first.

"Okay, principal, see you later. Goodbye, cuties!"

After all, the principal can't be bothered all the time, Gwent and others left the principal's office knowingly, leaving only Yabei, Kai, and the little monster.

"My students must have told you about the general situation of the world of 'Backborn Tree', right?"

After Gwent and the others left, Merlin went straight to the point.

"Yes, Mr. Headmaster. Gwent once said that you would help us..."

Kai, holding the digital egg, looked at Merlin expectantly.

"Hehe, I'm not as omnipotent as you imagined, but I will guide you to complete a certain mission."

Complete a mission?Shouldn't it be the same as what happened to the digital world a year ago, being summoned here to save the world?Yabei couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"Don't worry, I don't have any malicious intentions, and I won't force you to go against your will."

Yabei's expression was too obvious, and Merlin said that he had no malicious intentions.

"Do you still remember how you came to the world of 'Analogous Tree'? I can help you find the answer."

"Actually...we were forcibly teleported here by a bright beast. Before we were teleported, that bright beast kept apologizing to us and explained that my mother asked me to do this, and only we can defeat the evil Consciousness, help Kronos wake up from his slumber."

Recalling what happened, Kay probably explained the situation at that time.

"Then, the mirror in the hands of the Bright Beast shone brightly, and we were transported to a different space where time seemed to stand still. Then we fought with a giant red bird covered in black fog. Finally, in order to protect everyone, my partner Exhausted all the strength to resist the enemy's attack. etc.

The home appeared in the wilderness, but Alphamon turned into a digimon..."

Subconsciously looking at the digital eggs in his arms, Kai's eyes were very dim.

"I probably understand. You have fought powerful enemies that shouldn't exist in the past, right?"

Merlin asked back.

"How should I put it... Indeed, a year ago, we and other companions did fight a very terrifying enemy, and we also learned that the power gained by the enemy does not belong to our own world..."

Without fully telling the experience of a year ago, Yabei just admitted that everyone has fought against a powerful enemy, and the power obtained by the enemy does not belong to the digital world.

"As for that power, it can only be described as 'forbidden weapon' and 'gate of great sin'..."

"The 'Forbidden Instrument' and the 'Gate of Sin'?"

Merlin's expression was very subtle.

"You must be very tired now. Children, sit down first, a cup of wonderful coffee will surely relieve your nervousness."

What a considerate headmaster, after signaling the three to sit down, Merlin even made them a cup of coffee with milk.

"Would you mind listening to a few 'interesting' stories about the world of 'Analogous Tree' in your spare time? You will get part of the answer in the stories."

"I don't really mind..."

Seeing that Principal Merlin told the story purposefully, Yabei and Kai accepted it.
