Reincarnated in sekirei

( Yuuki's POV )

Yuuki: And what are you doing here, is there a secret party or something?

Sora: Not a party, a challenge.

Yuuki: ... Do you think it's the time for that?

Sora: We'll see who's the coward, I challenge you to enter the forest, and whoever spends the longest time there will be the winner.

Akane: Oh, it's like a test of courage, that's perfect~

Akira: What's going on here?

After Sora, Akira and his sister came behind us, confused and somewhat worried about what was happening.

Akane: We are having a test of courage, you guys come with us too!

Akane was excited by the challenge Sora presented, and she ran into the forest, still dragging Hajime and the other girl, Sora didn't wait to run either.

I had very good hearing, so I panicked a little when, after a few seconds of them entering the forest, I could no longer hear their footsteps, without hesitation, I ran after Akane, and the others followed me.

Shortly after I started running at one point it was as if I had crossed an invisible line and the atmosphere of the place changed drastically, It was the kind of atmosphere one would expect from a haunted forest, I quickly turned around but saw no one behind me, then I took out my phone and used my radar, That should have covered the whole forest and camp but that only showed me a small circular area, but looking positively it will be easier to find the others.

Astraea: MASSSTERRRR!!

Before I could begin my search, Astraea came flying and screaming at high speed, she pushed me to the ground and hugged me tightly.

Yuuki: What happened Astraea?

Astraea: I don't know, I was flying over the forest looking for the golden tree, and suddenly I couldn't feel your presence, I thought something had happened to you.

What Astraea said shed light on the situation, we were now inside a space created by the collision of two worlds, that's why the radar wasn't showing much, there was nothing outside the small forest.

Yuuki: I'm fine, let's go we have to find the others.

///////////////////

The place wasn't big, so it didn't take long to find someone, and that someone was Erica, Liliana and Claire appeared shortly after, and I explained to them the situation we were in.

Erica: This is not good, Yuuki, can you open a portal back?

Yuuki: What happened to your excitement from before?

Erica: This is different, we are supposed to protect civilians from things like this.

Yuuki: I know, don't worry, I can protect everyone, The most important thing now is to find the others, as Akane's story said, if we don't follow the projections from the other world, we will be returned to our own when the clash ends.

Astraea turned invisible and we continued our search, we found the others quickly but the sinister atmosphere of the forest had affected all of them, Akane was taking it better than the others but she was also scared, they didn't know what to do so I told them that we had to wait for the teachers to look for us, walking aimlessly will only make it harder for us to be found.

My real goal was just to wait for the collision of worlds phenomenon to end, we sat there for about forty minutes, and desperation slowly began to set in, surely another effect of the abnormal forest.

Sora: Hey, they're here!

The event was not over, but suddenly Sora stood up screaming, he followed a mysterious light that appeared in the forest, but I couldn't feel a human presence, I grabbed him by his shirt, but that wasn't enough.

The mysterious light grew bigger and took the shape of a tree like the story Akane mentioned, this was bad, and I thought about taking out my tails, grabbing everyone, and escaping, but it was too late, the light became so big and bright that we were blinded.

When I opened my eyes I was outside the woods, with ruined buildings around me and a bright sky above me, the others were with me but they were unconscious, I took a great leap to inspect my surroundings again and far in the distance I saw a huge shining golden tree If something like that brought us here it was safe to think that the base of the tree was the best place to open a return portal.

I was thinking about my next move, but I was interrupted by the sound of a gallop, looking toward the direction of the sound, I saw a massive steed covered in a black cloak, and riding on it was a knight covered all in black with a three-ball flail.

He didn't look very friendly so I met him in the middle, away from Erica and the others.

Yuuki: Hello there.

The mounted knight did not respond to my greeting and the steed stood on its hind legs, the knight raised his weapon high and tried to crush me with a single swing, I dodged using [Accel] putting myself to his right, he corrected his direction and attacked again but I dodged in the same way, I ran circles around the mounted knight and when I was behind him I stomped the ground and used transmutation to create a stone spear, With a powerful [Boost] throw, I pierced the knight in the chest and he flew out in the distance, and the loyal steed ran in the direction the body flew.

After finishing with him, I dusted off my hands, and when I turned around, I saw that the others had woken up and most of them were looking at me in amazement.
