Chereads / Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl? / Chapter 60 - Faction Recruitment P4

Chapter 60 - Faction Recruitment P4

The rest of the warrior's division didn't involve anyone they knew, so Shiro decided to take them elsewhere.

Somewhere to hang out for a little while before tomorrow since her mage's division was tomorrow.

[So where do you two want to go?] Shiro asked.

"Anywhere really. I just want to rest for a bit." Lyrica shrugged.

"In that case then why don't we go to an amusement park?" Madison suggested with a grin.

[Amusement Park? What's that?] Shiro asked as this was a foreign term for her.

"!!!" Both Lyrica and Madison were shocked by this. Normally, kids her age would at least know a little about the amusement park. Yet, they could see the honest confusion and curiosity in Shiro's eyes.

"You've never been to an amusement park?! Didn't your parents take you there when you were younger?" Madison asked.

[No. They didn't.] Shiro shook her head.

Rather, the only memory she had of her parents were that of peaceful ones. She would help them occasionally with chores and play around with some of the younger kids.

Since her family lived in more rural areas, they didn't have much electronics.

Thinking of her parents made Shiro a little nostalgic and sad due to the fact that they died without seeing her grow up fully.

'Then again, I suppose seeing me get experimented on would bring them more pain.' Shiro thought with a heavy heart.

Lyrica didn't know why, but she felt Shiro's mood take a sudden shift towards sadness.

'Perhaps it's something to do with her parents.' Lyrica thought.

"Then let's go! The amusement park is a place where you can enjoy yourselves." Lyrica smiled as she grabbed both Shiro's and Madison's hand.

"Huh? Wait! WHY ME! I CAN WALK!" Madison cried out, shocked at the sudden increase in speed.

Shiro only chuckled seeing Lyrica's enthusiasm and decided to play along.

After calming down slightly, Lyrica released the two.

[So what exactly is in an amusement park?] Shiro asked.

"It's mostly just a place where you pay money to enjoy rides. There are things like roller coasters, ferris wheels and other adrenalin-inducing rides." Lyrica explained.

[If you want adrenaline then why don't you fight a monster in a dungeon? That gives you quite the pump of adrenalin.]

"Yeah but that's to improve your combat standards. This is to just relax and have fun." Madison replied as she bought herself a drink from the street vendors.

"Want some?" She offered.

[No thanks.]

"I'm good."

They both rejected. Madison only shrugged seeing their response.

[So you say it's to have fun? Seems interesting.] Shiro typed out as she was quite curious as to what people in this world enjoyed.

And so far from what she heard, it seemed like the amusement park was something common for the children for New York to experience.

Arriving at the amusement park, Shiro was surprised to see the huge rides that were available.

People were screaming in excitement and raising their hands when they drop down on the roller coaster.

"Since we're here pretty late, we'll only go for a few rides."

Shiro looked around with curiosity and pulled down her hood.

Letting her midnight blue hair drift behind her, she attracted the attention of the surrounding civilians.

Yin flapped her wings and landed on Shiro's shoulder.

While she was looking around, she saw cotton candy on a stick and was rather surprised.

Narrowing her eyes, she scrutinised the fluffy pink sweet.

"Shiro are you curious what these are?" Lyrica asked. She had a smile on her face since this was one of the rare times where she would see Shiro acting more like her 'age'.

[Yeah. They look like clouds but the composition of these 'clouds' are clearly made from sugar.] Shiro typed out since her nose could smell how sweet the cotton candy was.

Lyrica only smiled wearily when she saw Shiro back in her usual character. It would feel rather odd for Shiro to act like a child after all.

"Yeah. They're called cotton candy and they're basically sugar stringed onto a stick." Lyrica explained.

'Hmm, that sounds rather interesting.' Shiro thought. Now that she had a chance at life once more, she should try to experience everything she could.

Walking up to the stand, she paid for cotton candy. While she couldn't taste it, she was rather curious for the texture. 

Taking a bite of the sweet, Shiro recoiled back at the texture. She made a face of slight disgust since it felt like she bit on a clump of string. The string would then fuse together before melting apart into nothing.

"You don't like it?" Lyrica asked, surprised seeing how Shiro reacted to the cotton candy.

[Not my cup of tea. The texture is a little strange for me.]

"Do you want it little Yin?" Shiro whispered. Yin turned her head away as she reacted the same way Shiro did.

[You want it Lyrica?] Shiro asked since she didn't really want to waste the candy.

"Can I?" Lyrica asked. Shiro was taken aback at her enthusiasm.

'Seems like she really likes the cotton candy.' She thought, handing over the sweet.

Madison only facepalmed seeing the slight misunderstanding between the two.

In her opinion, Shiro looked like an older sister who is giving her little sister a piece of candy. While Lyrica looked like she enjoyed the indirect kiss more than the actual piece of candy.

Walking over to one of the rides, they queued up for a while.

The ride they chose was the biggest rollercoaster available in the amusement park. Since time was short, they wanted to try the best-looking ride first.

Paying for the tickets, they were seated down and secured to the carts.

Shiro frowned slightly since she didn't have much control over her body due to this.

'If the cart derails or anything of the sort, I might struggle with protecting the three of us.' Shiro thought with a frown.

The feeling of not being able to control her body to the fullest made her fidget a little.

*Clang clang clang~

The cart started to move as Shiro made sure she was in a position ready to jump out and float at any moment.

"ooOOOHHHH MMMMYYYY GOOOODDDDD!!!!!" Madison shouted out since she was surprised at how fast the cart was actually going.

Since the current riders of the coaster were all level 20 and above, they were allowed to increase the speed for more 'thrill'.

Yin gripped hard on Shiro's robe since she was about to be flung off her shoulders.

*CHIRPPPPPP!!!!

Yin cried out in a panic.

Shiro only giggled and reached out for Yin. Placing Yin on her lap, Shiro re-evaluated the security since she could see the structural integrity of the ride is as strong as ever.

Seeing that she was rather safe, Shiro decided to relax a little and enjoy herself.

Lyrica felt relieved seeing Shiro smile on the ride.

When the ride finished, Shiro was pleasantly surprised at how much she actually enjoyed the roller coaster.

[Not going to lie, that was pretty fun.] Shiro typed out.

[Though not being able to control my body as much did feel uncomfortable.]

"True, but that's where the thrill comes from." Lyrica grinned.

"Urg. Thrill it maybe, but not one that I liked." Madison replied, looking a little pale. Previously, all the rides she went to were slowed down for the lower levels. But due to the fact that they were all level 20 and above, the speed increased by quite a bit.

Shiro only chuckled seeing the opposite reactions of both Lyrica and Madison. One enjoyed the ride while the other looked like she was about to die.

[We'll come back if we get the chance. But since it's getting late we should go home and rest for tomorrow.]

Lyrica and Madison agreed. Since there were more mages than warriors in the city, the mage's division would start much earlier than the warrior's division.

As they were walking back home, Shiro narrowed her eyes when she saw Nan Tian's figure on the roof of a building.

'What is he doing.' She thought.

[Head back first, I'll join you in a second.] Shiro typed out.

"Hm, alright. Just don't stay out too long." Lyrica nodded.

Once she was out of sight, she hopped onto the roof easily.

[Is stalking a fun past time of yours? I could feel your eyes the entire day.] Shiro typed out with a frown.

"Ai little snow. It's not stalking but merely observing. You just so happened to be near where I was observing." Nan Tian chuckled.

While Shiro can't see his face, she could tell he was smiling.

[What do you want exactly? You didn't try to attack me and now you're here again. Making yourself obvious to me.] She questions.

"Can't I take the time to observe an interesting monster I found?"

[Stop beating around the bush and tell me already. Because if you have nothing you want to say then I might as well leave right now.]

"Fine, no fun at all. I want to recruit you and your friend to the hidden sect."

[Not interested.]

Shiro turned around immediately and was about to leave.

However, Nan Tian didn't let her since he was in front of her once more.

"Ai don't reject so fast, little snow. I know you don't like your freedom restrained, but this sect isn't like that. You can still join other factions. The sect itself focuses on improving the strength of humanity as a whole." Nan Tian tried to persuade.

"Not only that, but you can use all of the resources of the sect. Naturally, you'll get more resources the bigger your contributions."

Shiro paused when she heard this. It did sound rather good but she didn't want to take it all for granted.

[What's the catch.]

"You'll have to help protect the sect whenever it is in danger."

[Yeah no. I still don't want to join it.] Shiro rejected.

Seeing that there was no persuading her, Nan Tian only smiled wearily.

'Little snow is so hard to persuade ah…' He thought with amusement.

Watching her leave, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Waking up early the next morning, Shiro wasn't really in the brightest of moods since she realised she has two stalkers now.

Lucius and Nan Tian.

One was a shadow walker who kept stalking her with his shadow clones, and the other, a high level masked person who was wherever she was.

Sighing with slight annoyance, Shiro changed into her outfit and pulled forward her hoodie. Covering her lower face with her face mask, one could barely see Shiro's appearance face wise.

She contemplated about changing her current outfit so that she could let loose a little.

'If I used the first phantom, I should be mostly ok.' Shiro thought since the 1st phantom of the Yin style phantom arts helped a lot in terms of stealth.

The ability to minimalize your presence to trick your opponent's brain and make them ignore you were amazing in the heat of battle.

It was also this that helped her kill the level 50 mage. She was able to strike his weak point when his guard was down. If it wasn't for this factor, then the fight would most definitely be harder than what it was.

"Good morning Shiro…" Lyrica greeted still half asleep.

[Good morning. You can sleep longer if you want.] Shiro typed out.

"No, it's fine. I want to see you kick their ass." Lyrica grinned.

Nodding her head slightly, the duo waited for Madison to arrive.

Thankfully, they didn't have to wait long and made their way to the gathering point.

They mostly chatted about what Shiro was going to do in her arena and she only smiled before typing; [You'll see.].

This naturally caused Lyrica to shiver for a moment and pray for the safety of her foes.

Stretching her body slightly, Shiro waited at her assigned arena.

Looking around, she tried to single out a few note worth mages. However, luck was on her side since most of the mages near her right now were lower than level 35.

Waiting for the commentator to announce the round start, Shiro flexed her fingers slightly.

Frost gathered o the surface of her hand as Icy Touch was activated.

"START!"

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 1st Phantom + Cold Aura + Tier 2 Ice Magic + Icy Touch + Faded Snow Movement.

She slammed her palms down which caused a tsunami of cold mist to shoot outwards.

*CRRRR!!!!!

The arena was freezing at an abnormal pace as the participants couldn't escape the ice locking their feet to the ground.

Shiro's body flickered for a moment and faded out of view.

Clenching her fist, the ice between the participant's legs started to tremble. She flicked her wrist and blunted Ice Spikes shot upwards.

"ARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Layers upon layers of tearful cries were heard as Shiro eliminated a large group of people in a short burst of time.

Grinning slightly, Shiro dashed towards the top 500 layer before anyone else.
