Ren Isana and Erina appearing out of thin air directly triggered the `[Warning Magic]` inside the camp. The students who had hastily grabbed their weapons immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was Ren.
"Not bad, you actually learned it already?" Ren couldn't help but marvel when he saw the Array Magic set up around the area. This was one of the spells he had previously given to Iroha Sakayori.
It was incredibly difficult to learn, but the fact that Sister Iroha had mastered it so easily was simply badass. It just went to show how amazing she was, effortlessly grasping a spell of this difficulty.
Ren figured he might as well let Iroha try her hand at `[Spatial Magic]`. Who knows, maybe she could learn that too? After all, she hadn't felt any discomfort when he teleported her. From that alone, it was easy to see just how exceptional her spatial aptitude was. It would be a massive waste if she didn't study `[Spatial Magic]`.
"Ren-senpai!"
"Isana-senpai!!"
"Ren?"
"What brings you here?"
The crowd relaxed upon recognizing him and called out their greetings. Asuna jogged over to his side, looking at him with pleasant surprise.
At the same time, she was highly confused by the people Ren had brought with him. What was this about? Why did he bring more people over? Did he bring back more *good sisters* for her? With that thought, Asuna swept her gaze over the girls standing behind him.
"These are the chefs I brought for you guys. Take them around and help them get familiar with the place!" Ren pointed to Erina and the others behind him, explaining the situation to Asuna's group.
Hearing Ren say this, the three girls felt a bit depressed. *The hell do you mean, chefs?* Asuna and the others roughly understood the situation—they were likely people from a new world who needed someone to guide them, just like Kisara Tendo and her group.
"Are you guys good at cooking? That's wonderful, please come help us!" Yuki Suou immediately perked up the moment she heard the word 'chefs'. Without another word, she stepped forward and pulled the girls away.
It just so happened to be time to cook, and she wasn't exactly great at culinary arts. Having a few people who excelled at cooking arrive right now was a massive help.
They couldn't just keep letting Asuna-senpai and the others do it, right? Asuna-senpai had been cooking for them for the past few days, and they were starting to feel bad about it. It was fantastic that they finally had some help.
Ren gave Erina and the others a single glance before paying them no further mind. He had brought them here, and the rest was no longer his concern. He trusted the people here to handle it well.
"Are you leaving already? But... why do I feel like your current state is really strange?" After asking her question, Asuna couldn't help but look Ren up and down.
As the person who shared his bed, she was far too familiar with his condition. Right now, he felt incredibly off. No matter how she looked at him, something just seemed weird.
"Ren's presence is extremely low, almost as if he's blended into his surroundings. If he hadn't actively revealed himself, we might have just ignored him completely." At that moment, Megumi Kato spoke up.
As an expert in this field, she had every right to speak on the matter. Ren's current state was even more absurd than when she actively pushed her own talent to the limit, so she noticed something was wrong with him at a single glance.
"Furthermore... I can't sense a single trace of his aura!" Yukino Yukinoshita was also staring intently at Ren. Asuna wasn't the only one who felt it; she had noticed it too.
Hearing her two teammates, Asuna immediately looked at Ren with a face full of curiosity, hoping to learn from him exactly what had happened.
"I broke through!" With nothing to hide, Ren directly stated his situation. The moment those words left his mouth, everyone froze.
"Broke through? Tier 10?" Asuna exclaimed out loud, drawing the attention of quite a few underclassmen nearby. What did they just hear? Ren-senpai was already Tier 10?
"That's right. I just broke through this morning. I went to find Natsuki-chan and brought these girls over while I was at it." Ren smiled at Asuna and her group.
Once they confirmed that Ren had truly broken through, Asuna and the others went numb. Yukino Yukinoshita spoke up, her mood somewhat dejected, "It looks like you've completely left us in the dust."
They weren't even on the same level anymore. Compared to Ren, their progress was excessively slow. It was truly a heavy blow to their confidence.
"Yep, so you guys need to work harder too!" Ren gave them a thumbs up. It was the truth—his breakthrough had come naturally when the conditions were right. What else was he supposed to do?
Asuna was in a bit of a daze. She looked at Ren with a helpless expression. "So fast... We all awakened at the same time, yet you've already reached this step."
She didn't even know how to describe him anymore. It was simply too absurd. Even leveling up with cheats wouldn't be this fast. He was on a completely different plane of existence from them.
The early stages were fine, but in the later stages, he had effortlessly left them in the dust. She sighed, deciding not to dwell on the issue anymore. Ren had broken through; she should be happy for him.
Ren didn't rush to leave. Instead, he stayed and chatted with Asuna and the others. During their conversation, he learned where Sora and the rest had gone. Those guys were currently running wild all over the world, gathering the numerous cheats that Aqua had tossed in.
Because of this, the other classmates were scattered to the four winds and nowhere near the camp. Some had supposedly even run to the other side of the world. For a group of people who could fly, their mobility was simply off the charts.
Many people in the class had now mastered the `[Flight Magic]` Ren had taught them, so distance was no longer an issue for anyone.
After having a meal with Asuna and the others, Ren finally took Asuna away. As for where they went, don't ask. Regardless, Asuna drank quite a lot of *soy milk* before returning to the camp to rest.
After this session, Asuna made up her mind—she needed to find herself a helper. Even after using every trick in the book, she still couldn't satisfy Ren. This was going to kill her; she didn't want to be broken!
Thinking of her good teammates, Asuna's gaze instantly firmed up. She needed to have a good talk with them. She wondered if they were interested in Ren? If they were, she could share a piece of the pie!
It was already midnight by the time Ren returned to his dorm from the alternate world. After washing up, he sat directly on his bed and began studying his laws.
Now that he had mastered the laws of space-time, he could finally modify the spaces within his body. The spaces he had opened up previously were somewhat crude, even after incorporating Betty's library later on.
But in Ren's eyes, it was all still far too rough. Now possessing the authority of space-time, he was fully capable of making this space much more stable and vastly larger!
Acting on his thoughts, Ren closed his eyes and began the modifications. Betty was already resting at this hour, so he didn't disturb her. Instead, he silently set to work expanding the entire library space.
He also changed the scenery outside, setting it to randomly cycle through various landscapes he had seen in his memories. Switching it up from time to time would help keep Betty in a good mood.
Ren spent the entire night working on these adjustments. When Betty woke up and opened her eyes the next day, her face was full of question marks. What was she seeing? There was actually sunlight outside her library?
This change gave Betty a massive shock. She hurriedly ran over to check and quickly noticed the anomaly. *So the outside is just an illusion?* However, she also noticed that the surrounding space had become much sturdier and larger.
*Does this mean it won't be a problem even if I wildly bombard the place with magic from now on?* At that thought, Betty's eyes instantly lit up. *That's absolutely wonderful, I suppose!*
"Betty, you're awake. I have an idea I want to discuss with you." Noticing that Betty had woken up, Ren immediately spoke out. The next moment, Betty's figure was pulled straight out of the space.
Betty plopped down on Ren's bed, looking at him with a bewildered expression. "What do you need to tell Betty, I suppose?"
Suddenly modifying the space, and then suddenly pulling her out—was there something important? Betty looked at Ren with a questioning gaze.
"I plan to move the library out of my heart and embed it into Avant Heim. I'll also construct a few pathways so you can travel to other places whenever you want. What do you think?" Ren voiced his idea.
Staying in his heart all the time wasn't a real solution, and Betty was far too much of a shut-in. Things absolutely couldn't go on like this. He had been thinking about this for a while, and now was the perfect time to get it done.
"It's not impossible, I suppose. You are the master, so you have the final say. Also, Betty feels like you've gotten incredibly strong!" Betty hadn't known when Ren broke through because time and space had been instantly paused at that moment.
Coupled with the fact that she had been resting, she was completely unaware of what had transpired. Now that she had been summoned by Ren and saw him face-to-face, she finally sensed the changes in him. Had the power she could draw upon also become stronger?
After all, she had a contract with Ren, and he had never restricted her from drawing on his power. This left Betty quite amazed.
"That's right, I broke through. So now I want to move the library out. But if you want to come to my side, you can still come out at any time." Although the main body of the library was being relocated, the entrance in Ren's heart wouldn't change.
Hearing this, Betty had even fewer objections and agreed immediately. This arrangement was quite nice; she would be able to go see other places in the future. The two discussed it briefly before taking action.
Ren brought Betty over to Avant Heim. Seeing the group of Flügel huddled together, Betty felt a bit confused. What were these people whispering about?
Seeing this scene, Ren didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These girls were actually still discussing the breakthrough. He didn't bother them, seeing as they were having such a lively discussion.
He directly set to work, moving the library out of his body. Once that was done, Ren opened a separate pathway leading to the library at Dimensional Nexus University. From now on, Betty could travel between these locations at any time.
However, when Ren opened the pathway and arrived at the university library, he suddenly fell silent. He looked at the densely packed formulas before him and sank into deep thought. Standing right in the middle of the Magic Circle was Da Vinci, who had previously gone missing. And besides her, there were numerous Heroic Spirits gathered around—and every single one of them was a Caster-class!
