( Outside the Tower. )
( Many days from the previous chapter. )
" My lady, Trinia is near... "
" I can see it, thank you. " the woman says as she sees the place from within her air transport.
" Trinia, oh how I didn't see it again. "
" When is it? after I graduated from the University there, isn't it? " the lady says.
"My lady, you're already graduated from University!? " said one of her accomplices asking her about her already being graduated from university.
" Yes, I did, what's bothering you? " she asks her back which the accomplice tells her and reminds her about her current age, 17 years old.
" Oh, about that... "
" I skipped some grades, I'm accelerated you know. "
" Because of that, I save so many years in educating myself in those formal instances. " the lady says as the air transport finally lands at the private airport, made by the Hunter Association to greet her.
" It seems you're not the only one called here, my lady. " the accomplice says as she sees another air transport landing beside them.
" Of course, this is quite a large problem hence why they need more strong people. "
" Besides," she says as she looks above the clouds.
" It seems we humans are not the only ones who are participating, look up in the skies," she says as from the rainy clouds, come to the gods descending themselves into the very area.
" Gods! " they say as the people there bowed and great them, including the ones who just came out from their air transports.
" We greet the gods. " all of them say, kneeling themselves.
" Well, well, it seems we have ourselves full in here. " one of the gods says as he presents himself.
" My lady is that... "
" The Asgardian Allfather, Loki... " she says as she looks at him and Loki caught her very gaze.
" Well looks who's here, it's you lady from the Fubuki Clan! " Loki says to the lady which shocks her.
"( He sees me...! )" she says the god was already in front of her.
" Keuk...! "
" Don't be so surprised, I was so grateful that you will also come into this summon. " Loki says to her.
" Lady Fubuki Yukino," Loki says to the lady, Fubuki Yukino, daughter of the Fubuki Clan leader, the mistress of the frost, the white lady. Once an S-Rank Hunter in Trinia for a while after she graduated from Trinia's University but later returned to Japan per her mother's orders.
" How can I help you, lord Loki? " Yukino asks the god which made him laugh as he replied by asking how is her mother's condition.
" My mother is alright, her injuries are stable. "
" Besides, it seems she's getting better now after you helped her on your last visit to our clan's residence. " Yukino tells him.
" I see, good for her. "
" I was happy to see you here again though, after many years. "
" I must say, that you, graduating from Trinia country's university in your fourteen's is really an accomplishment. " Loki recounts the old times as he then continues speaking with her, until...
" Are you done, Asgardian Allfather? " a voice says to him and approached him.
" Oh, right in time... "
" Artemis. " Loki says as the goddess of the Hunt presents herself.
" Is time for us to tell them? " Loki asks to wonder if he drags things long enough.
" Yes, and that should be done hours ago even... " Artemis stares at Loki for interfering with the whole thing.
" Oh sorry, please don't shoot me with your arrow..., hehe... " the god says as he finally shuts up.
Artemis then tell the people there to rise, for she will tell them things quickly.
" All of you here, having many hours on your flights, coming here to do a great task. "
" I don't care how much energy spent on your travel here, but... "
" After we're done here, we will proceed into the T District. " Artemis explains briefly.
" To help the men there, dealing with the Abyss Tower, with some of us to help you. "
" Any questions? " Artemis asks.
" 'Scuse me, goddess... " one of the S Rank Hunters that arrived asks.
" Oh, it's you, Arnold Krueger! " Artemis says seeing Arnold Krueger, the 7th place S-Rank Hunter from Germany asks her question.
" Speak your mind! " she orders him as Arnold asks her this.
" Of course, goddess..., "
" 'Scuse me if I say things wrong but regarding the Abyss Tower... "
" We only get very minimum information regarding what's happened inside it. "
" As we all know, the tower itself produces many monsters. "
" What's your point, Arnold? "
" My point is..., are we going inside that very Tower? will the gods join too? " he asks her which made her sigh.
" No, you're not going to enter the Tower, it has been done. "
" For the things, you will do is to help the men outside the Tower deal with the monsters outside. "
" Regarding the Tower itself, it will be the Olympus that deals with it. "
" That is what the Olympus Allfather had instructed us all with, is it clear to you? "
" Acknowledged, dear goddess. " Arnold kneels after receiving the answer.
" That is the question for today, after this, we will greet you all with some food prepared for you before you lot enter the battle. "
" I hope what we provide in these times will be sufficient for your preparation. "
" Don't be shy to ask more, for this feast may be your last, even for S-Rank Hunters such as yourselves. " Artemis says as they ordered them to go to the place they should go.
" Lady Fubuki, it seems the goddess is underestimating us, isn't she? "
" Why did you think like that? " Yukino asks her.
" I mean, I know that you're strong my lady... "
" Mere strong monsters won't kill you, even if they tried, right!? " she asks while the other accomplice just sighs at her being chatty with the young lady.
" You flatter me too much, come, feast yourselves! "
" This is an order, don't worry if you eat a lot more than me! "
" Fuel yourselves with more energy while you still can! " Yukino orders her accomplices as she then sits in a chair reserved for her.
"( Oh how I miss this... )"
"( It's been a long time, Trinia. )" Yukino says as she suddenly felt something.
"( What was that!? )" Yukino suddenly stands up for she sure felt a gaze.
"( Someone is gazing at me, I can feel it... )" she tries to search for what she felt and from afar, a spiritual being sees her, with his left eye that could see through time.
" We meet again, I swear I've never I will you see this soon. " Ragna Twelve says as he hopes that Ragna Current (our MC) will meet the lady of the Fubuki Clan very soon, in this very Timeline.
" Now that you're here, I hope Ragna Current managed to survive the Tower and see you for the first time. "
" For that must happen, for the sake of my and 'his' fate... "
" And also... " Ragna Twelve says as he also gets a flashback, seeing his granddaughter Carla all of a sudden while his spiritual body left the very place, leaving Yukino confused.
"( What the hell is this feeling...? )" Yukino asks herself.
"( Just who...? urkkhhh )" Yukino suddenly felt a headache as the presence she felt was so hard but also...
So nostalgic.
...
( At the same time. )
[ Abyss Tower, 6th Floor. ]
" You guys have already done your prep!? " Ragna and Galen ask Raiden, Inquisitor Kara, and the Battle Maiden about it.
" Almost, don't disturb us, brat! " Raiden says to Ragna harshly.
"( Dammit, this man... )"
" Then you guys better hurry! "
" Time is ticking and Adrian is already finished his business with Hunter Ignis... " Ragna says which shocks the three of them.
" What did you say? " Raiden asks which Ragna shares his vision.
< Twelve Eye of Time: Vision Sharing >
They all received it and immediately gets triggered after seeing what happened.
" Shit, he's using 'that' already? " Raiden curses as he continues his training preparation with Aphrodite within himself.
" Then there's no time to waste, dammit! " Raiden yells after seeing it.
" Of course... " Ragna says.
< Twelve Eye of Time Activates >
< Skill: [Future Vision] >
< User will see the future. >
" This is the final act for our journey in this very Tower. "
" We need to do things hurry... "
