My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—



Satoshi went to great lengths in between bites to explain what his superpower was.

But no matter what he told them, they still couldn't comprehend  how that  was a legitimate superpower. In hindsight, his party members already saw what his superpower exhibited. Then again, it was still not enough for them to understand what his superpower was.

Even the newcomers had no idea what Satoshi was talking about. They just got here, with their energy almost depleted... only to find out that the team they planned on rescuing was actually doing better than expected.

"So,  you're Gretel Grimoire, Hansel Grimoire, and your supposed leader is Gran Expatrio, right?" Bruce confirmed. Since he couldn't shake all their hands at the same time, he went the extra effort to stand up and greet each of them with a handshake.

"Eat up, you don't have to worry about supplies," Satoshi assured the three of them that they were a bit hesitant to eat.

After setting up the campfire a couple of minutes ago, Satoshi and his party members actually checked out the area, picking up a couple of forest mushrooms and plants which were edible. After that, Satoshi used his Ghast to gather meat from his planet. He specifically got beef and chicken.

Then they cooked the stew together. In a sense, Satoshi told the truth that they didn't have to be concerned about running out of supplies. After all, the rules didn't state that they couldn't teleport other objects from the other world.

Satoshi did make sure that he didn't hop inside the dimensional portal created by Ghast. Otherwise, it might disqualify him from the challenge. Once again, these weren't stated in the rules but Satoshi just had to make sure that he didn't give Magnus the chance t  disqualify him for such petty reasons.

In short, he didn't abuse the loophole he found in the rules.

"Thank you for rescuing us. We were supposed to help you out, but you ended up helping us instead." Gretel spoke. Despite his somewhat timid image, his voice was actually a little bit deep.

"Don't worry about it. We were saved up by our teammate as well so we're on the same page, to say the least." Bruce casually said.

As for Lucy, she continued eating what Satoshi prepared. It was a simple chicken stew with forest mushrooms and herbs but it tasted much better than she thought.

For the life of her, she didn't want to admit that Satoshi was not only good-looking and physically robust. He was also overpowered and a good cook. Her mind already started concocting a plan to win his heart since she thought that he deserved to be hers.

While Lucy was having these thoughts, the group started talking about their experience with the survival test so far. The two teams had basically the same experience, the only difference was Satoshi was in their team so they had the upper hand against the entities.

In fact, Satoshi was actually a one-man army. Even though he was currently using only one tamed beast, he was winning. What more if he actually summoned more of his familiars?

While they were talking about their three-man teams, Satoshi actually found the time to think about the essence of the survival test. Of course, they weren't put here just to survive. They were given this test for a much greater purpose— and finding that purpose is the test within the test.

'But that's the thing... I'm not good when it comes to uncovering the hidden meaning behind a test. I mean, sometimes my mind works but I don't think it's working this time. Dex, do you have any ideas? How about everyone else?' Satoshi said in his mind, addressing Dex and his other familiars who were connected to his consciousness.

None of them answered. Only the Quasar Lightning Snake responded with a request to be summoned. He wanted to get out of Orb Oboros's dimension and spread his tail in the skies. Surprisingly those who actually talk to him from time to time didn't say anything. 'They were probably having their routine matches with each other.' Satoshi muttered to himself.

A couple of minutes later, the others started requesting Satoshi to summon them as well. They liked it in the dimension, but right now they could tell that Satoshi's new summon was having the time of its life and they wanted to join in on the fun.

Satoshi did advise them to prepare for the third day. He thought that maybe he'd need everyone's help on the third day since that's when things were bound to go down. Right now, they were still in easy mode and yet they were already having a hard time.

After eating their fill, Hansel and Gretel didn't want to stay without doing their fair share of the workload. Now that their energy was rejuvenated, they healed the others with their support skills. They also didn't hesitate to buff up the huge entity just in case it was getting tired.

What they didn't know was that the entity actually doesn't exhaust itself. As long as Satoshi had energy in his reserves, it won't get tired. It was unnecessary for them to buff up the entity but Satoshi didn't stop them since they wanted to do their fair share as new members of the team.

New members of the team.

Suddenly, Satoshi came to a realization and he turned to the others who started to improve their camp. Bruce and Lucy were setting up tents and Gran helped them out. As for Hansel and Gretel, they gathered firewood nearby and even volunteered to share the food they brought with them.

While they were busy minding their own business, Satoshi approached them with a question. "Does any of you have some sort of detection skill with you?" Satoshi asked out of nowhere.

"Yeah, I have one. It's just a simple detection skill though... I mean, doesn't everyone have one?" Gran asked. Every Disciple he knew had a skill like that so it wasn't even a question.

"Right, how far could your detection skill reach?" Satoshi continued, disregarding Gran's sarcasm.

"Mine could reach about three miles," Hansel raised his hand as if he was answering his professor at school.

"Hansel? Kilometers please," Gretel commented before addressing Satoshi. "Mine's about ten kilometers."

"About the same as Gretel," Gran added.

Bruce and Lucy then joined in by saying that their detection skills were subpar to the others so Satoshi didn't pry them about the details. In any case, at least there were Gran and Gretel who could actually detect in a ten-kilometer radius.

"Can you sense if there are other Disciples around us? I'd like to invite them to our group." Satoshi then mentioned it without even asking anyone's opinion about it.

His suggestion was met with silence while they try to contemplate what Satoshi just said. The first thing they thought was to disagree since they wouldn't have the sustainability to survive with more people.

But after thinking about it a little more, they realized that they were just taking advantage of Satoshi's strength. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have been able to survive this long. What's in it for them if he wanted to add in more people?

"Right, I can detect about three groups, do you want us to get them?" Gran raised his hand. "I'd be able to round them up and bring them here, it wouldn't be that hard."

"Y-y-yeah, I could also do the same thing. My brother and I are pretty good at running and rescuing. We could bring them here in no time." Gretel also pointed out. There was a hint of shakiness in her voice since she felt guilty for having such selfish thoughts. Initially, she wanted to disagree with Satoshi but it was his call to make, not any of theirs.

"What would it be, leader?" Bruce commented, smiling at Satoshi. He already deemed Satoshi as their leader the moment he unleashed the huge entity to protect them.

"Yeah, it's your call. We won't mind. We'll help out as much as we can to support you so you don't have to worry." Lucy also added, turning her face away from Satoshi since she was a bit embarrassed saying that in front of Satoshi.

"Thanks," Satoshi smiled. He couldn't believe that his teammates were actually cooperative. They didn't even ask questions as to why he was gathering more people. "I... I'll explain later once we have more people." He continued.

In the end, Hansel and Gretel decided to head out, aiming to gather one of the groups to the west. As for Gran, he went with Bruce since they needed at least a two-man team to round up a group.

Before they left, Satoshi specifically stated that if they didn't want to join them, then they shouldn't force them— to which the two teams agreed.

"We're heading out then." Gretel chirped, happy that she and her brother could finally be of use to their new group.

"Yep, us too," Bruce waved his hand as he said his farewell.

"Take care, you guys," Satoshi returned, watching the two groups leave their safe haven.
