So What If It's an RPG World Volume 10 - Chapter 12: Conversion

Chapter 12: Conversion
At the same time in the Imperial College Female Dormitory
Oyado had just changed clothes to get ready for a shower, but the moment she stepped infront of the door her whole body froze.
“What’s wrong?”
Aliyah, who was in the same dorm, gave Oyado an odd look as she stood in the bathroom door.
“Big brother is……”
Oyado slowly turned around.
“Big brother……I can’t feel him……”
“Can’t feel him?”
“Master’s soul signature has gone missing!”
Purewhite flung open the door and rushed in.
“Master’s soul signature has gone missing, can you two help me find out what is going on?”
“Of course!”
Oyado rushed over to her clothes, and put them on along with her armor.
“I understand. I……”
Aliyah looked at her surroundings on the minimap.
“Right, did you hear any sounds of fighting just now?”
“I did, is it big brother……..but there wasn’t any strong fluctuations in in ice magic.
Oyado replied.
“So there was fighting, but there wasn’t any ice magic…… Fir must have come across a really troublesome opponent and had to use other methods to fight…… There’s no way. Looks like we’re going to have to call others. Come on, let’s see what’s happening.”
Done, Aliyah put on her clothes and sent messages to the others through the terminal.
‘Behind the school. Fir may have a serious problem. Urgent!’
————————————————————————
Less than a minute later, the three girls came to the roof of the school building near the incident. They realized at the same time why the noise of the fight had been so quiet. The surrounding had been wrapped in a special enchantment. Inside of it they could see the remains of the ice dragon on the ground, with the bodies of a dead ninja, Ryuuhime, and Ryuuhiko on a side.
While they were wounded, the HP bars showed that they were still alive.。
But the barrier was stopping them from entering.
More importantly, they couldn’t see Fir inside the barrier.
“Where’s Fir?”
Oyado looked at the others.
“I feel like the last signs from master disappeared were from in here, so……”
Purewhite was very anxious as she said that.
Aliyah was looking around the area. She knew that Fir didn’t have the ability to hid his name. He had disappeared, and his soul signature had disappeared. There was only one possibility.
If they disappeared from here, then they probably left using something like dimensional magic.
“……He was kidnapped?”
A sound came from behind Aliyah, saying what she was thinking.
Turning around, Ms. Mari was behind her.
“I got your message. It seems like something incredible has happened……”
Ms. Mari said as she looked at the ice dragon.
“If I’m remembering correctly, doesn’t Fir only use the ice dragon when he is fighting with someone who is at least the same rank as him? If you look at it you can see that the head has clearly been crushed. The only way that could happen is……”
“The opponent was stronger than Fir and and forcibly stopped his skill……Fir must have been hit by the magical backlash. But then there is only one scenario that could explain this……Fir may have actually lost and was abducted.
It’s unclear when Dale appeared from the side. He pushed his glasses up and touched the barrier.
“A purely magical barrier……Bai Yueguang, I’ll rely on you.”
“Super Arcane · Separation.”
The voice faded, a blade flashed, and a hole like a door appeared in the barrier. At the same, a white shadow flashed into it and stabbed into the center causing the magical barrier to disappear.
Bai Yueguang put away his sword and looked at the group.
“It looks like it’s a lot of trouble. Someone is going to notice this soon now that the barrier is gone. Let’s clean things up and get out of here.”
“Already done.”
Oyado came over to the group and dropped a bag with Ryuuhime and Ryuuhiko in it.
“Those ninjas are both in here. Let’s go somewhere else to talk about it.”
“That……”
The last person to come over was the uniformed Irlin, she came over from one of the houses on the side. Only Aliyah had discovered her earlier. Not long after they had arrived on the scene, Irlin had hurried over.
“I heard what you said. Fir……He’s been kidnapped?”
“Yes, do you know anything about it?”
“No……but……come with me. I’ll take you over to the Ice Emperor. Maybe he can help.”
“Emperor……?”
Ms. Mari said, rubbing her chin.
“Sounds fun.”

48 Hours Later
Location: Imperial Capital Toni District
The Toni District. One of the first 5 districts of the Imperial Capital. Logically speaking, after such a long period of growth it should be quite wealthy.
But in reality it was now the poorest section of the Royal Park. Most of the people here worked in other parts of the city to feed their families. For those who can’t provide labor for their families will experience the most basic parts of evolution——Survival of the fittest, and fade away.
As it is part of the Royal Capital, the Royal Family has put forward several policies to bring wealth to the area but they have been opposed by the aristocracy.
Those nobles enjoy the cheap labor that the area generates. It will be hard to implement the policies long as the area provides the cheap labor.
And inside this district lived a pair of sisters.
One of the sisters worked in a coffee shop in the neighboring Langdon District, and the other sister joined a mercenary group after teaching herself a bit of magic and they relied on that meager pay to survive.
While their lives were busy, the sisters didn’t complain about it. After they had lost their parents at a young age they knew that their lives were better than most others in the district.
However, disaster has never been reluctant to spare anyone in this area. In her last campaign, one of the sisters had taken a direct hit from a high level Thunder Wolf. Although her life was saved, she fell into a long coma and to this day she has been unconscious for a full three months.
This caused a new problem for the family as the sister had to spend more time at work to earn the necessary money.
Thankfully the manager at the shop where the sister worked was a kind person. Knowing the condition that her sister was in, he increased her hourly wages and allowed her to take the remaining food home at the end of the day.
Today……
“Filiya, I’m back~”
The door was slowly pushed open and Lilith came in with the packaged food.
Lilith is only 17 years old, but the hard work she put in made her look more mature. Her golden curls were carefully combed because in the coffee shop it wasn’t good enough to just have a nice dress.
The room was the home of two people. Both of their beds were hidden away with a curtain. Past that is the living room and the kitchen, with the only side room being the bathroom.
Lilith put something down and headed over to the beds.
“Hey Filiya. Are you feeling any better today? The manager brought me some corn soup today. Hold on and I’ll feed you some. By the way, I’ve gotten you a small present. You always said you wanted it. Martha picked it up today while cleaning up in the Imperial College. I’ve told her about you before, so we traded. I’m sorry, there was supposed to be apple pie today but it was worth it to get something good.
While Lilith was saying that, Felicia was motionless on the bed with her eyes open. Unlike her sister’s blonde hair, Felicia’s long black hair came from her father. But because of the long stay in the bed it had been cut short.
While her eyes were open, they showed no trace of life and stared at the cracked ceiling.
“Ohh, I know you’ll like it, but we need to eat first.”
While she said that, Lilith took out an iron thermos and slowly opened it.
Getting a spoon, she filled the spoon with the corn soup, chewed it, gently opened Felicia’s mouth and fed her the soup.
It’s impossible. You can’t expect to have a liquid diet in this age. You have to rely on food for energy intake in this world. Without it, Felicia would have died from malnutrition a long time ago.
This scene lasted for ten minutes. After she had fed everything to her sister, Lilith breathed a sigh of relief.
“About what I was talking about before, it’s time for your gift~”
As she said that, Lilith slowly took a necklace out of her coat pocket and slowly put it around Felicia’s neck.
“It’s perfect~ All right, I’m going to go clean up.”
Lilith smiled. Holding the plate, she pulled open the curtains and went into the kitchen.
But……
She had only manage to take two steps before a voice came from behind.
“It’s……do you have any food? I seem to have been asleep for a long time and I’m very hungry.”
Lilith turned back to the source of the in surprise. Freezing for a second, the items in her hands fell to the ground.
“F……Felicia……you’re awake?”
“Felicia?”
The girl called Felicia scratched her black hair with a face filled with confusion.
“My name isn’t Felicia, it’s Fir. Lin Fir.”
