Chapter 472 Interlude: Asteria“s typical day as a student part 14
[[[With the apparent ’status’ that Asteria had, the previously sleazy Eye was left with no choice but to let them in without any sacrifice.]]]
[Eye]: I hope that you will have an enjoyable tour inside the Abyss Realm, Miss Asteria. Oh, and I still have more of those honey jars. Just call my name, and I’ll be there!
[Asteria]: Yeah, yeah, I get it. Now can you just let us in? This has been delayed too much already!
[Eye]: By your will, Miss Asteria.
[[[Rumble...]]]
[[[The massive Eye suddenly began to move its body, with its round and fleshy eyeball vacating its current position. This movement was accompanied by countless wailing sounds, something that made the whole movement freaky.]]]
[[[Thousands of tentacles attached on Eye seemed to stop it from moving away, but Eye ignored these as it continued on moving. In no time at all, these tentacles were all destroyed, creating a mess of floating tentacle parts all over the area.]]]
[[[The space that Eye have been occupying earlier was now vacated, leaving an empty hole that was gradually sucking everything around it. This hole was just as black as the space itself, making it look like a black hole that was intent on devouring everything.]]]
"..."
[[[Upon seeing this hole, everyone in the ship excluding Asteria shivered, as its appearance was just too much even for them.]]]
[[[Eye was nowhere to be seen at this point, as it had already entered through the hole that it just made. But even though its body was inside the hole, Asteria and the others can still hear it talk.]]]
[Eye]: Miss Asteria! This is the real entrance to the Abyss Realm! Please feel free to enter it! I assure you that this is safe! I can bet my life on that!
[Asteria]: Oh, so this is the hole that Uncle Tenet was talking about. I thought the was just making a lewd joke about pegging....
[Kuro]: Asteria! What kind of words are you spouting now? There are innocent people here! Don’t you-
[Asteria]: Hm? What’s wrong with what I said? Is there any evil word there?
[Kuro]: Evil word? No, not exactly. It’s just-
[Asteria]: Aha, you’re referring to the word ’pegging’, right?
[Kuro]: Pegging? No! It’s not that word! Asteria, what are you-
[Asteria]: Tsk, tsk, tsk, and here I thought you’re an honorable teacher. So you also like that stuff too? Hehehe, do you try that on your lover sometimes?
[Kuro]: Hey!
[Asteria]: Hahaha! Now I can’t stop imagining it! Your lover sprawled on the floor like a dog, while you hug your lover from behind with a rod strapped on your waist! Hahaha! What a sight!
[Kuro]: Hey!
[Asteria]: Pa pa pa pa pa pa!
[Kuro]: You...
[Everyone in the class]: Pa pa pa pa pa pa!
[Kuro]: ....
[Everyone in the class]: Pa pa pa pa pa pa!
[Kuro]: That’s it! Asteria, do 100 flying push-ups right now. If you don’t, I will make it 1,000. As for the rest of the class, do 10! Don’t you dare skip out on even just one! If you do, I will double your punishment!
[Asteria]: What? But I was just teasing you!
[Kuro]: Do it now, or I will make it 2,000. As for the others, you should already start! If you don’t’ start in 5 seconds, I will triple your punishment!
[Everyone in the class]: Okay teacher...
[[[As the begrudged Asteria and the unamused students began to wallow in their punishment, the pissed Kuro crossed her arms as she entered the control room of her ship. Nobody was inside here, allowing Kuro to sit on the chair with a lazy demeanor.]]]
[[[She then began manipulating the control switches of the ship, spurring it into action once more.]]]
[Kuro]: Tsk, kids these days really need a lot of discipline. Asteria just said a little joke, and everyone acted like that? Ugh, now I fear for what will happen for the rest of the trip...
[[[After saying these words, Kuro drove her ship forward, ramming it straight towards the hole that Eye made. There was no hesitation on her face as she entered the hole, making her look like a valiant pilot. Of course her inner emotions were nothing but valiant, as she still continued to worry about her future with her students.]]]
[Kuro]: Argh, if I just became an official pilot, then I would never have suffered like this...
[[[Plop!]]]
[[[The surface of the hole rippled as Kuro’s ship passed through it, with the ship itself disappearing entirely. There was no hints or traces of the ship’s existence left, as if it was all devoured by the hole itself.]]]
*****************
30 MINUTES LATER.
[Asteria]: Nom nom nom!
[Kuro]: ...
[Asteria]: Nom nom nom!
[Kuro]: ...
[Asteria]: Nom nom nom!
[Kuro]: Oh for the Monarch’s sake Asteria, can you please stop eating honey? Your act of eating honey is just making me and your classmates feel worse! We’re already feeling sick, and you still want to make us feel worse? Come on Asteria, you’re way better than that!
[Asteria]: Sick? But you and my classmates are just suffering from the effects of the Abyss’ environment. This is just normal. Give it at least 30 more minutes, and you will feel fine.
[Kuro]: 30 minutes? Are you kidding me? I can’t even drive the ship properly at this point, and you’re saying that I have to experience this for 30 more minutes?
[Asteria]: Well, that’s the consequence that the first-timers in the Abyss Realm get. After all, the Abyss Realm is a location where emotions and desires materialize. A place like that will be an alien location for material beings like you, so you will still need some time to acclimate to it. Hell, 30 minutes is actually a good number!
[Kuro]: ...
[Asteria]: I have seen beings who had to stay sick for 10 days before they could acclimate to the Abyss Realm. Some even had to stay sick for months or years! Can you imagine the pain that they are going in? You and my classmates only have to suffer for 30 minuets, so in a sense, you’re still lucky!
[Kuro]: Lucky? Hmph, just look at the f**king scenery outside! Doesn’t that make you sick? Ugh, I can’t even imagine how you can stand there nonchalantly!
[[[After Kuro said these words, Asteria only shook her head as she continued slurping down her honey. She then looked through the window beside her, observing the ’scenery’ that Kuro was talking about.]]]
[Asteria]: ...Well, the scenery is not bad. You just have to... get used to it.
[[[If fractal shapes, horror-themed art, and grotesque imagery were real and can be combined in real life, then their results will be the closest approximation to what Asteria could see outside the spaceship.]]]
[[[Twisted shapes that can only exist in mathematical equations, nightmare-inducing objects, and disgusting creatures could be seen hovering all around the ship, creating an atmosphere that fits the notoriety of the Abyss Realm.]]]
[[[Endless loops of nauseating images and gruesome events can also be seen approaching the ship, making the already sickening environment look like a place meant to torture minds.]]]
[[[This horrifying scenery was the environment of the Abyss Realm itself, something that the Abyss Monsters treat as their comfortable home. This scenery was also the one that had been seen by Asteria before, which allowed her to be slightly used to it.]]]
[[[Of course to say that she was fully used to the environment of the Abys Realm was an overstatement, as some slight hints of revulsion could be seen on her face. And this revulsion became more noticeable when she saw a cluster of holes on top of a mountain-sized fleshball.]]]
[Asteria]: Bleg-
[[[The sight of these holes alone were enough to make Asteria gag a little, although the presence of her teacher left Asteria with no choice but to hide it. She had to force herself to swallow some honey to suppress her nausea, something that she hoped will be effective.]]]
[[[She then continued talking to her teacher, with her voice sounding like she was just bored of her current situation.]]]
[Asteria]: ...But even if I am already used to this, I can still see your point, teacher. This place is really ugly. In fact, I can say that this place is so ugly that this should not be visited by any material beings... Nom nom nom.
[Kuro]: Asteria! I just told you to stop eating honey! Your smacking sounds is making my head pound already! Do you even have any inklings to listen to me?
[Asteria]: I have, teacher. It’s just that 100 flying pushups made me so tired, that I have to replenish my energy using this honey. I just can’t let myself run on an empty tank, right?
[Kuro]: What? Do you even get what you are saying? If you want to refill your tank, just do it later! For now, just keep quiet and allows us to recover!
[Asteria]: I’m really sorry about this teacher, but I have to refill my energy right now. Who knows, someone might attack me later while I am weak. I cannot just let that happen!
[Kuro]: Argh!!! You really are one irritating fairy! Why did I even agree to bring you?
[Asteria]: Well, you did not agree to bring me. You just forced me to come here, right?
[Kuro]: Ugh, you and your smart mouth. I swear I will discipline that in the future!
[Asteria]: Hehehe, you can try, teacher. But my sass is something that you cannot defeat!
[Kuro]: Sass? Who told you that you have sass? You don’t have any of that at all! You’re just a cringy teenager who knows nothing but do pranks! There’s nothing sassy with that!
[Asteria]: ...Ok, I think it’s time for me to continue eating.
[Kuro]: Hey, don’t-
[Asteria]: Nom nom nom. Smack smack smack!
[Kuro]: Argh!
