Kitsune in Teyvat Chapter 13
🕑 Added 2024-01-10 07:16:12 +0000 UTCWith everyone landing in Sumeru safely we quickly made our way to the actual city of Sumeru and as we reached the city I spoke out. "Don't wear the ear pieces everyone is wearing that connects to the Akasha! They link up to our very brains and out thoughts can be read along with them being able to put us into illusions or into a deep sleep!" I warned everyone as we came up to the city gates.
Lisa looked at me with some concern as she knew what the Akasha terminals were like as being one of the best students Sumeru's Akademiya had seen in the last five hundred years. But in the end she nodded as her own mind remembered how the Akasha could download thoughts into people's mind... And allow the Mahamatra the Akademiya's militant force to track down people.
"Alright... My credentials should still get us into the Akademiya to begin with, and I can say we are looking for my junior Cyno." Lisa took a breath with a wry smile coming to her face as she sighed and spoke under her breath. "To think I would come to Sumeru like this?"
But Shenhe instead took over the conversation as she looked down at me and asked the more pressing question. "Kurama, what kind of resistance can we truly expect in getting down to Nahida?"
I blinked before humming as I tried to think back to years ago when I actually played the story mission and I finally responded. "Hmm... Some automatons maybe? They mostly sealed and locked her down super deep underground using her prior life Greater Lord Rukkahdevatta's meditation chamber which puts her into an eternal stupor." I explained and then I looked to Klee.
"Klee once we get to the sealed area... Blow them up with Lisa and princess Fischl helping you!"
Klee did a quick salute making Shenhe and Lisa coo at how cute it was but in the end we quickly made our way into the city avoiding making contact with the locals as we just headed to the top of the massive city built around the central tree that was grown by the Dendro goddess Rukkahdevatta centuries ago.
We made sure to keep a low profile... As much as we could without having the Akasha terminal hanging off our ears like glowing oversized blue tooth, but we got all the way to the actual Akademiya before a guard in front of the school actually bothered to stop and question us.
But seeing Lisa and obviously recognizing her as the top student for literal centuries Lisa only had to make up a quick explanation about coming back to talk to the sages about an experiment she had been running. "The visions of each country are of different style, so I came here to see how visions from different lands react during elemental reactions."
The guard raised a hand with a weak smile as he said. "Miss Lisa, you are always welcome into the Akademiya... I just needed to check your reason of returning after so many years."
And that was it, whenever a guard would question Lisa she would burst into the overly convoluted explanation about testing for efficiencies in elemental reactions between foreign nations and she needed to use the reinforced laboratories under the school as she already got permission from her previous teacher the Sage Cyrus.
"Uhm Miss Lisa... Isn't lying to them bad?" Klee asked shyly and Lisa patted the little Sparknight on the head with her saying gently.
"It needed to be done Klee. Afterall, it's far better to give a harmless lie as we try to save someone from their trouble... Then having to fight our way through the entire Akademiya and anyone getting hurt!"
It was a good life lesson with Shenhe actually making a face as she seemingly absorbed the verbal lesson. But honestly with how much of a muscle head fighter she was with zero social skills... I doubted she would bother to try.
But as we were getting into the central Sage lift that would lead straight down to the most important parts of the Akademiya including the Meditation room that Nahida was sealed into. We were stopped by a harsh yell that reverberated loudly. "Stop right there!"
I looked over at the source and my blood became ice as the one person I really didn't want to get in our way... Was in our way.
Walking beside the Grand/Head Sage Azar the villain of the Sumeru chunk of Genshin Impact was the leader of the Mahamatra, their General, Cyno... And behind him were several guards armed with clearly enchanted or otherwise magical weapons that gleamed with elemental effects.
A sigh rang out as Lisa threw back her long hair and she looked at Shenhe and spoke. "Miss Shenhe, I believe you will be needed now."
Shenhe's spear formed into her hands as she took it out form her storage and then she held up a hand with a cryo talisman forming into her free hands as Cyno also clearly readied himself for battle with his Electro armor forming around his body.
"Little Kurama... You guys head on without us. We will keep the Mahamatra busy while you free Nahida. As Cyno isn't quite with us right now."
I frowned and then looked at Cyno in more detail and my lips twisted into a frown seeing the red glow within his eyes as his own Akasha terminal on his ear was red. Meaning that it was either corrupted... Or he was directly being mind controlled.
So I quickly slapped the elevator button for the lowest floor and the elevator slowly dropped the three of us down into the depths as the sounds of lightning and ice clashing filled our ears before a pad shut above us silencing the noise as we descended deeper into the Akademiya.
