A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

"Wow, not bad... you've got muscles now."

Seeing Natsuki Subaru transform from a skinny bamboo pole to a thick bamboo pole, Hoshino Gokawa subconsciously praised him.

Of course, he wasn't saying that thin bamboo poles are bad, but compared to thin bamboo poles, thick bamboo poles have more masculine style, or more accurately, masculine energy. At the very least, such people won't give others a bad first impression.

"hey-hey……"

Natsuki Subaru was quite pleased with himself for receiving the praise, since no man doesn't want others to compliment his physique.

"Subaru, can you tell me what happened yesterday? Of course, if there are any secrets about that senior that you can't reveal, just pretend I haven't forgotten."

"Sure, I also have a lot to tell you."

Recalling what happened yesterday, Natsuki Subaru could only lament why he hadn't discovered this wonderful world sooner!

It's clear that the world here refers to the kind of extraordinary world on the dark side.

Chapter 188 Cultivation

Jingle bell…jingle bell…

Natsuki Subaru, who had talked a lot with Hoshino Gokawa, had to swallow the rest of what he wanted to say before the school bell rang.

Meanwhile, Hoshino Gokawa, who had returned to his position at the same time, began to ponder the other's experience from the previous morning.

how to say……

Quite realistic.

Without a powerful force to suppress it, all sorts of chaotic things will happen on the mountains outside, which can be said to be a perfect demonstration of the law of the jungle. Eating people is just the tip of the iceberg. What is truly terrifying is that they will "eat" your soul as well.

Even this kind of food is considered good, because what is more painful is being unable to live or die, like the story of "acting as an accomplice to a tyrant" often told in Liaozhai stories.

Of course, this topic has gotten a bit off-topic, so let's turn our attention back to the main character.

Not long after the bell rang, Natsuki Subaru immediately rushed to Hoshino Gogawa's side and shared his experiences of the rest of the day.

However, whether he had been reminded or not, Natsuki Subaru did not mention Dororo's existence to Hoshino Gokawa.

Hoshino Gokawa was aware of this, but he had no intention of revealing it, since having secrets was a good thing.

"So, have you learned any ninjutsu...?"

"Hmm... not yet. Senior Xiaoxue said we should start with the basics, such as physical training or meditation."

When the topic of body training came up, Subaru Natsuki's expression became a little unnatural. This was because Subaru's body training was different from the training he had in mind for ordinary people. Although it was equally reckless, it was several times more difficult. He even felt that it was challenging the limits of human endurance.

Of course, it's not wrong to say that it challenges the limits of human beings, after all, how can those supernatural powers remain in the body without a strong physique?

Let's take a simple example. If your physique isn't strong, how can you withstand exhaling a fire jutsu from your mouth? It's a good thing if it doesn't burn you to ashes from the inside out.

Similarly, with water-style techniques, without a strong physique, you'll burst before you can even expel the water.

In other words, to truly cultivate extraordinary power, you must develop a well-rounded character, rather than specializing in one strength. If you only specialize in one strength, you might get killed in a life-or-death duel because of a weakness.

You should know that extraordinary people in the real world don't compare their strengths with yours; on the contrary, they compare their weaknesses the most.

Because weaknesses are equivalent to your vulnerabilities, and they can easily win by attacking those weaknesses. After all, who would want to defeat you in your area of ​​expertise in a life-or-death struggle? The real goal is to lure you into their area of ​​strength and defeat you there.

If neither side can pull the other into their area of ​​expertise, then it becomes a contest of who has the weakest link and who will give up first.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the two sides are equal in strength. If they are not equal and the difference in strength is too great, then they can be easily defeated.

Back to the main topic...

Upon hearing the other person mention meditation, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but ask out of curiosity what kind of meditation it was.

"Yes, Senior Xiaoxue said that meditation is about finding a way to calm your mind and then looking at the world from that perspective. Perhaps you can gain a different understanding from it."

In a sense, this state is not much different from the enlightenment of the Great Dao in cultivation novels. Both involve seeing the essence of the world and inspiring oneself to improve one's skills or other aspects, which is what is commonly known as cultivation.

"I see……"

As Hoshino Gokawa, who was experiencing meditation for the first time, nodded, he wondered if he should try it later. He had nothing to do in class anyway, and besides, this was an experience he had never had before, so he was curious about what insights he would gain after calming down.

Of course, it's also possible that it won't have any effect at all, since the Hero Race has never tried meditation before—no, to be more precise, they haven't even considered the issue of meditation!

So during his lunch break, Hoshino Gokawa tried it out on the rooftop with this idea in mind. However, since it was his first time meditating, it wasn't easy to calm down quickly. So, Hoshino Gokawa used his ability to block out external noise and tried to calm his mind.

Although nothing changed at first, after a while he suddenly had a very strange feeling.

how to say……

It was like seeing the flow of "blood" in his own body for the first time. Although everything was exactly the same as usual, he had a different kind of intuition in this calm state.

Then Hoshino Gokawa followed this intuition and made a subconscious move.

result!

"!!!!!!"

Hoshino Gokawa was completely astonished when he saw the newly opened spatial passage before him, because he could sense that this passage was different from any of the previous ones.

Whether you call it a parallel universe, a parallel world, or a parallel dimension, no matter what the suffix is, you can feel the awe-inspiring power of the prefix.

It can be said that Hoshino Gokawa can travel to another Earth at the same point in time through this hole whenever he wants, and he doesn't even need to transform into his true form.

There was one thing he wasn't sure about: whether parallel worlds were created within the universe or outside the universe.

Simply put, it means that a branch has branched into different extensions, or there were originally several branches.

If it's the former, then the historical trajectories of so-called parallel worlds should be very similar, while if it's the latter, then only completely unrelated situations will appear.

However, Hoshino Gogawa immediately received an answer to this question, because just a moment ago he felt the "pulse" of the universe.

To put it simply, the parallel world here can be considered as the meridians of the human body, and no matter how far they extend, they are ultimately enveloped within the entire body.

In other words, even if Hoshino Gokawa were to go back now, and the other side showed no connection whatsoever to Earth, you could still call it Earth, because that would be another "meridian" at this point in time.

To be honest, Hoshino Gokawa really didn't expect that his casual attempt at meditation would unexpectedly improve his ability to use it to a higher level.

Just as Hoshino Gokawa was experiencing this miraculous realization, he suddenly seemed to remember something and casually removed the space that was enveloping him.

result……

Hoshino Gokawa could hear the teacher reading aloud and the students answering questions downstairs.

"Um... would this count as skipping class?"

For the first time in his life, Hoshino Gokawa began to think about how to explain to his teacher that he hadn't come to class.

Chapter 189 Different

As a result, because Hoshino Gogawa did not return to the classroom within the stipulated time, he was punished by having to stand at the classroom door. However, standing as punishment did not mean that he had to stand outside.

So Hoshino Gokawa used his abilities to create a fake spatial image outside, then went back to his seat and didn't cancel it until the end of get out of class.

Of course, he made it look like he walked in before canceling, otherwise news of the school being haunted might have spread later.

Just a few seconds after class ended, Natsuki Subaru rushed up to him and asked curiously, since it was a very rare occasion for him not to be in class on time.

"It's nothing, I just took a nap on the rooftop and ended up oversleeping."

Hoshino Gokawa's explanation was a passable one, at least on the surface there was no problem, so Natsuki Subaru didn't suspect it too much, or rather, in his eyes there was nothing to doubt.

Then, not long after, it was time for school to end, and on the way back, Hoshino Gokawa was with Saiki Kusuo as usual.

However, since Hoshino Gogawa had promised to give the other party the dollhouse he had acquired, he took out the dollhouse, which he had kept in his personal space, after finding a secluded place.

Upon witnessing the overall structure of the dollhouse, Kusuo Saiki subconsciously used his ability to see things a thousand or even ten thousand times smaller, in order to see what was so special about the dollhouse.

"Hmm...this dollhouse is indeed a bit strange."

While he couldn't discern anything wrong with his eyesight, Kusuo Saiki could sense that this thing possessed its own life, much like a living being. Moreover, it wasn't something like a tsukumogami, a type of ancient Japanese yokai. However, Kusuo Saiki couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Because this thing is much stranger than any other extraordinary thing or extraterrestrial life I've ever encountered.

"right……"

Hoshino Gokawa nodded in agreement and then signaled to Saiki Kusuo that they could put a small figure inside for the experiment, and he was also looking forward to seeing what kind of small figure the other party would produce.

result---------------------------

"This must be a free gift from the mall when you buy something."

Looking at the miniature figure that Saiki Kusuo had taken out, Hoshino Gosaka couldn't help but think this subconsciously, because this thing was only the height of two coins.

As for his appearance, he's kind of cute, like a steamed bun with arms and legs, but he doesn't quite fit the image of Kusuo Saiki.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is what he said about the changes that occurred when the little man was put into the dollhouse.

In less than a minute, Kusuo Saiki saw with his own eyes that the little bun he had put in suddenly came to life and started doing some nonsensical things.

For example, it mops the floor, but I don't know why it does that.

"Nanxiong, you have to take it out now. If you don't, an evil creature will appear and kill it."

Hoshino Satoru, who was sitting beside Saiki Kusuo observing carefully, suddenly spoke up with a reminder.

"Hmm... let me take it out and take a look first."

Also curious about why this inanimate object suddenly possessed life, Kusuo Saiki took it out and examined it carefully.

As a result, his feelings were basically the same as Hoshino Gokawa's, because Saiki Kusuo really didn't understand how it could have life and that strange logic of action.

As Saiki Kusuo was holding the little steamed bun figure in his hand, he also felt the other person touching him with their weak little hand.

"I feel... kind of cute."

As Saiki Kusuo spread his hands and let it climb on them, he couldn't help but think this.

"What are you going to do about it?"

Although it's not a very nice thing to say, after killing so many people, Hoshino Gokawa basically lost his reverence for life, or rather, he developed his own new and unique set of standards.

"Hmm... I'll probably keep it at home."

Because of his mother's allergies, Kusuo Saiki's family is not allowed to keep pets, but the appearance of this little bun person has given Kusuo Saiki the idea of ​​trying to keep a pet.

Although he wasn't quite sure whether the little steamed bun figure in his hand counted as a pet.

"Is that so... In that case, would you like to give it another try?"

Hoshino Gokawa had no objection to his confirmation, but asked again if the other party wanted to test the dollhouse.

"No need. I'm not particularly interested in this. I just wanted to see it for myself. Now that I've seen it, there's nothing more to it."

Saiki Kusuo, who had put the little steamed bun into his pocket, shook his head slightly, indicating that that was enough, because he didn't really have the desire to delve into the details of such mysterious things.

"Really……"

Seeing that the other party did not intend to try again, Hoshino Gokawa did not say anything more and put the dollhouse away again.

Then the two of them went back to their own homes and to their own mothers.

And when I got home and went back to my room ---------------------------------

"Um……"

Hoshino Gokawa immediately focused his attention on the miniature world that was encased in a spatial barrier.

He then saw Jotaro inside, with Star Platinum manipulating it to smash the second layer of glass surrounding them, seemingly trying to break it and get out.

However, without the power it possessed in the dollhouse, the Jotaro figure could not possibly escape from inside, so its current actions are actually futile.

Curious about how long the other party had been hammering the glass, Hoshino Gokawa casually touched the glass of the Mini World and saw the images inside the thing all day.

Of course, the complete part is very long, so Hoshino Gokawa sped up the video.

result……

"They started playing as soon as I left, and it wasn't just today, they were playing last night too."

Having thoroughly understood the movements of the four little people inside, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but think this.

Aside from Jotaro's figure, the other three miniature figures maintain normal human routines and behavioral logic while moving around inside.

For example, it covers almost everything from eating and using the toilet to sleeping.

In a sense, Jotaro's figure was definitely an anomaly among them, so Hoshino Gokawa began to ponder the difference between the original minifigures and the figures he had put in.
