Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

A few days later, Sora and Paimon returned to the wooden-framed tea room. The tea room was unusually quiet, and Taro called out a few times. Paimon assumed that Toma was calling his name again, just like last time.

Taro, who is usually very well-behaved, became impatient and yelled at the two of them again.

Ayaka Kamisato rushed over and asked, "Have you two seen Thomas?"

Paimon: "We thought he was with you. Did something happen?"

Ayaka Kamisato: "Oh no... On my way here, I heard that Thomas was captured by the Tenryo magistrate."

"I couldn't tell if the news was true or false, so I rushed over to confirm. If Thomas didn't show up at the agreed time, it means the rumors are probably true."

"General Thunder will hold the 'Hunting Ceremony' for the hundredth Eye of God before the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed God Statue."

"And the holder of the hundredth Eye of God... who is about to be publicly hunted, is probably... Thomas."

Paimon: "Could it be that the 'ritual' that Thomas heard about the Skylord Envoy was preparing is actually the 'Eye-Hunting Ritual' for him?"

Ayaka Kamisato: "Yes... the general and the people in charge of the Heavenly Territory are preparing to use the Eye Hunting Ceremony of the 100th Eye of God to prove the progress of the Eye Hunting Order."

"...No, I have to go save him!"

Taro-maru also called out three times.

He urged her to calm down: "But 'Princess Egret' also represents the company's policy."

Paimon responded to Kong's words: "Yes, if you go in person, wouldn't that mean the Commissioner of the Society is going to be an enemy of General Raiden?"

"If we openly defy General Raiden, won't the ordinary people in the corps also be implicated..."

Ayaka Kamisato was very anxious. Toma was not only her servant but also her friend: "There's nothing I can do about it... Time is running out, the ceremony is about to begin, and I can't just give up on Toma like this."

"He's my friend. Just a short while ago, we were all together..."

Sora felt it was too risky to send Ayaka Kamisato: "He's also my friend, I'll go save him."

Ayaka Kamisato: "But..."

Kong: "You just said that, didn't you? -- Time is running out."

Ayaka Kamisato hesitated for a moment, but decided to prioritize saving Thomas: "...Yes, I will...wait for your safe return."

Paimon: "Don't worry, Ayaka, when it comes to our friend's life, we will never fail!"

Eye Hunting Ceremony

People were talking about today's ceremony, which made the two of them even more anxious.

He pushed through the crowd to the front and saw Thomas kneeling on the ground, with two shogunate soldiers guarding him.

Looking up at the high platform, there was a purple-haired woman facing the Thousand-Handed and Hundred-Eyed Statue. It was General Thunder, not Lei Yingdian. There was no emotion in her eyes, only the decisiveness and authority of an executor.

General Thunder slowly turned around and stretched out a hand towards Thomas. Lightning element appeared in her hand, and as she grabbed at the air, the Fire Element Eye that Thomas was wearing at his waist flew towards her hand.

Thomas was about to struggle when he was held down by two shogunate soldiers.

Sora used lightning to appear in mid-air, intercepting the Eye of God with his hand and looking at the Thunder General on the high platform. Two Shogunate soldiers beside Thomas, holding long spears, attacked Sora.

With a wave of his right hand, Kong sent two blades of lightning that had gathered together to stun the two Shogunate soldiers. Kong quickly arrived in front of Thomas and tried to untie the ropes, but unexpectedly, the Thunder General stepped down the platform step by step, using the lightning elements formed in the air.

"It can manipulate elemental power without needing the Eye of God..."

"You... are an 'exception,' and 'exceptions' are the eternal enemy."

General Thunder unleashed lightning element, spreading it around him. A bladeless sword appeared in his empty hand. He slowly drew Dream Heart from his chest, gripping it in his right hand with the tip pointing towards the sky. Intense lightning element clung to the blade, and a crackling sound of electricity filled the air.

"I will build you into the statue."

Lei's film pulls the void into "a pure land of the mind".

……

……

The thunder element in Lei's dream bursts forth, clashing with the void.

After a flash of lightning, Kong collapsed to the ground, kicked out of the Pure Land of the Heart.

Paimon was very worried about Kong, holding his head in his hands, looking completely helpless.

Thomas used the gun blade stuck upside down in the ground to rub against the ropes binding his hands, while General Thunder, carrying his sword, approached into the air.

"Wake up!" Paimon shook Kong's arm, but Kong didn't move at all.

General Thunder was only a few steps away from Kong, who was lying on the ground. The lightning element on his blade was about to be released. He raised his sword with both hands, ready to strike. Just then, Thomas broke the rope, picked up the spear that was stuck upside down in the ground with his right hand, and threw it at General Thunder. General Thunder blocked it with his sword and swept it horizontally. Thomas helped Kong, who had been knocked away, and Paimon floated in the air and followed them away from the scene.

The awakened shogunate soldier's voice trembled as he looked fearfully at General Raiden: "S-General, that person just now..."

"I've added him to the 'Eye Hunt Order,' and I'll strike him again the next time we meet."

The traveler is now officially wanted.

Near the Wooden Leak Tea House

Paimon was puzzled. They hadn't even left Inazuma Castle yet, so why had this guy stopped? He asked, "Why did you stop?"

With his back to the two men, Thomas explained, "Don't you remember? For me, hiding in the wooden teahouse was the safest place around."

"I just can't get out of here during this time. I'll have to leave the rest to you."

Kong: "What should we do?"

Thomas turned around: "Go to Tread Sands and find the rebels."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Shogunate army will soon issue a warrant for our arrest. There aren't many forces willing to take us in, but the rebels are an exception."

Paimon: "I remember, Ayaka said... it was... the Coral Palace organization! The organization that rebelled against the Eye Hunting Order!"

Thomas: "That's right. It was originally led by the 'Real Human God Priestess' Kokoro Mikoto of Umijima Island, and is currently being led by her subordinate Goro. They are currently fighting against the Shogunate army."

"However, our organization does not maintain close ties with the resistance, mainly because neither side can trust the other."

“But you are different… In my opinion, the rebels should have no reason to refuse you.”

"The only danger is that we don't know the location of the rebels yet, so you'll need to ask around on the way."

"You may pass through the territory of the Shogunate army during this period, so please be extra careful."

Empty: "You too."

Thomas: "Don't worry, I'm good at hiding, they won't find me easily."

Paimon: "If we keep dragging this out, the people from the Heavenly Territory might come looking for us. Let's hurry up and get going!"
