I Reincarnated as a Shinai - Chapter 360

Reiji still has no method to move out of this town without being noticed. Unfortunately, his Stealth and Traceless don’t work against the Dark Elves and he learned it a hard way.

With that in mind, Reiji decided to use the clones he has to trick the Dark Elves hoping it would stop them from thinking of chasing him. Of course, even if he got chased after this, it would surely be just a small group and he’s planning to secretly take care of them if that happens.

After all, together with his students and the four other Sentient Arcana, he’s confident that they’ll be capable of defeating a squad of Dark Elves or even a platoon of them.

Whoosh~

After becoming a legendary rank Arcana, Reiji’s control with his Sword Kinesis had almost reached its limit. He’s now adept at speed flight as he found a thick forest where he thought that he and his team could hide.

As for its direction, whether it’s south of Losea Kingdom or north of Chodora Kingdom, Reiji has no idea as he lost his sense of direction after being trapped there for a long time.

“It should be safe here… There’s no Evil Beast at this place at all.” Reiji was surprised to find out that there are no nearby Evil Beasts in such a thick and dark forest. It should be a place where Evil Beast would create their den.

He checked the place multiple times as he triggered his Danger Sense and used his Mystical Energy to scan the whole place.

However, he suddenly recalled how the Dark Elves would capture Evil Beasts and turn them into their servants.

They have probably been captured from this forest making this place a haven for the Wild Beasts.

Soon, Reiji released everyone from the Void he created.

“Ugh~ That was refreshing…”

“I think I got my Spiritual Energy filled up again!”

“Isn’t that awesome? Can we try it again?”

Mourad, Rufus, and Imane felt rejuvenated after waking up. They have never experienced something like that before and found it thrilling as well.

“Ha~ That was scary… Luckily, we’re not awake inside the void. I probably wouldn’t last for a minute there.” Stella helplessly smiled after seeing the three being excited.

She didn’t like such dark places so when she entered the Void, she had actually closed her eyes thinking that once she opened her eyes, she would be in a brighter place already.

On the other hand, Diether and Stasis were just calm about their experience.

As for Vinete, she’s still not waking up.

“Hey! Vin! Vin! Vinete! Wake up!”

Imane noticed that Vinete was still unconscious and immediately called her out.

Everyone including Reiji was curious about it. He’s sure that his Void wouldn’t harm people. He already tried it to his Sword Slaves after all.

Pak!

“Ooomphh… I’m awake, I’m awake!” Vinete shouted after Imane slapped her in nervousness.

“Ugh! What happened? Why were you so slow waking up? You’re making me worry!”

Imane’s voice was obviously filled with worry. However, Vinete just smiled and explained.

“Well, I think I learned something from Master’s Void Slash… It seems that my Phantom Dagger is capable of using the same principle. I think if I studied it more carefully, I’ll discover how to use a similar skill…”

Vinete said proudly which made everyone impressed. After all, they barely felt anything when Reiji used the Void Slash, however, Vinete actually learned something from it!

How incredible was that!

On the other hand, Reiji can only feel proud for having such a fine student while the other Sentient Arcana can only listen in envy.

“Alright… It’s good that you discovered something. I will let you observe my Void Slash later.”

“Yes, Master Reiji.” Vinete replied with excitement. She couldn’t wait to see the Void Slash again.

“Ehem… Reiji, it has been a while.” Ryu, the Cloak Arcana, said after finding an opportunity to speak.

“Ryu! It has been a while indeed. How’s the Mind Collection? It seems that you have helped my students together with your friends. Thank you for helping them.” Reiji said as he glanced at the Kris Sword and Taichi Sword Arcana.

Reiji didn’t mind Luoyang’s attitude a while ago since he was just being careful about his real identity after all. Luoyang just wanted to make sure that he’s really not serving the Dark Elf King.

“We just helped them today, Reiji. It hasn’t been long since our group met. Anyway, the Mind Collection has been divided into several groups already after the three Blessed Arcana leading us decided to fully cooperate with several humans… Ugh, those fools…”

Ryu complained as he recalled Fern, Vivi, and Neri who they thought are focusing on eliminating the Execration and the Cults spreading within the city. Instead, the three decided to find humans instead and started creating an organization or perhaps a Cult of their own!

Reiji listened to Ryu’s story while the students did the same.

They were clueless about the life of other Sentient Arcana after all. So just by listening to their stories, they started getting an idea about the situation.

“Those three, huh… I already felt something suspicious about them when we first met. However, I didn’t think that it would like that at all… But you mentioned that Fern went here to fight against the Dark Elves?” Reiji asked.

“Yes… Are you not aware of it? I thought you were used to fight him back?”

“Ugh… My memories are blurry. I can’t remember at all. Haa~ Anyway, we learned that Fern and his team are not working for the Dark Elves if he really attacked this place. It means that he’s not cooperating with Tower to supply them with Arcanist… Or perhaps there was an internal dispute?”

Reiji muttered softly which made everyone curious except for Luoyang. Reiji then realized that the others were unaware of what he discovered with the Taichi Sword.

Because of this, he decided to explain to everyone about the Dark Elves’ plan to create Sentient Arcana using real Arcanist’s Mind.

As expected, the shock on everyone’s faces can be clearly seen.

After finishing his explanation, Reiji then recalled the mysterious Sentient Arcana he met at the top of the Arcanist Tower…
