Chapter 151 - 151 The start of the movie



Seeing so many familiar faces made Loki feel a tiny bit uncomfortable as it seems like something big was going to happen. Loki no longer bothered with them and headed back to his group. He wasn’t sure why he was feeling so uneasy but his instincts had never failed him before.

As he was thinking about what to do next, he saw his siblings talking happily with Matsuri. Seeing their smiling faces made Loki hesitate. Loki sighed as he came to a decision. As long as nothing happened specifically to them he would try his hardest to keep this outing going, but once it got dangerous he would stop it. Matsuri who spotted Loki waved her hands and she asked.

“You got the tickets?”

“Yeah, I have them here.”

...

The group bought some popcorn and headed into the movie theatre. There were a lot of people present as the movie seemed to be really popular. It was still, an hour before the movie starts but there were already many people inside. It was a good thing Loki arrived when he did since if he arrived even a little bit later he might not have been able to buy four tickets.

Most of the good seats were already taken by other people and it was also quite hard to find four seats that were next to each other. Still, after looking around they finally found four available seats next to each other.

Matsuri sat at the edge and beside her was Loki and then next to him was Alisa then finally Liam who sat in the inner area. The seats they found were quite close to the screen and were at the right side edge of the movie theatre, it wasn’t really the best seats but at least they get to sit next to each other.

.....

“So what’s this movie about?” Matsuri suddenly asked.

“You haven’t heard about it? This movie has been all over social media.” Alisa replied quite surprised by Matsuri’s question.

“Sorry, I’m always busy with work so I don’t know a lot of the current trends. Also the last time I watched a movie was when I was a child with my father, my mother, and my younger siblings.”

Noticing that Matsuri’s mood was turning sour Alisa poked the side of her big brother. Loki looked at Alisa who was showing a pleading expression as she gestured towards Matsuri. Loki couldn’t help but sigh in his mind.

“Well, it’s a good thing I invited you. This movie is quite good, I heard many of the actors in this movie were high-ranking martial artists.”

When Matsuri heard Loki sounding a bit excited as he spoke she was surprised. This guy didn’t seem like the type of guy to be so easily excited.

“Is it really that good?”

After she unconsciously asked that question Loki started to speak in an exaggerated excited tone. He spoke as if he really was that invested in the movie, but all he was doing was repeating what he read on the internet. No one noticed that Loki was just repeating the exact words he read on the internet, and was impressed by his knowledge of the movie. Even the people who were eavesdropping were quite surprised by some of the things Loki said which made them even more excited to watch the movie.

Seeing how thrilled Loki was about the movie made Matsuri forget her earlier thoughts and started to giggle. She couldn’t help but smile as Loki continued to talk about how the movie was made.

Seeing the smile on Matsruri’s face Alisa was quite impressed by her big brother. She always thought that her big brother was someone who had trouble communicating with other people but seeing him talk like this she started to think differently.

On the other hand, Loki who saw the smiling face of Matsuri knew that his plan had worked. Now that Matsuri was back on track his sister should have no problem watching the movie without bothering him.

While the three of them were talking Liam was also listening in. He was a fan of the novel this movie was based on and was excited to watch it as well, who could’ve guessed that his lame big brother liked the same thing as him.

‘Maybe next time I’ll show him my collection, and if he turns out to be a real fan we could cosplay as some of the characters.’

...

As most of the people in the movie theatre were getting hyped up the movie finally started. Loki stopped talking and was now focused on watching. Seeing as the movie was about the older era of this world Loki was very interested.

He had already seen the power of the weaker Grandmasters of this world and based on the videos he has seen on the internet he had a decent guess on how powerful the top Grandmasters were. So now he wanted to see how powerful the Ancient Martial Artists were, well since this wasn’t a documentary it was good enough to see what the modern people imagined the Ancient Martial Artists to be like.

The opening showed a flock of flying Gigantes called Caladrius, it was bird-type Gigantes, their body was twenty feet long and ten feet wide, and their wingspan was at least fifteen meters long. The giant bird-like creature was pure white and looked a little similar to one of the supreme beasts in Loki’s old world, the Phoenix.

Yet unlike the Phoenix, these birds were smaller by a large margin. The Divine Phoenix in his old world was larger than a mountain and the heat it produced could burn everything in its way. In comparison, the pure white Caladrius were puny and looked less majestic. Still, Loki had to admit even though the quality of these birds couldn’t compare to the Divine Phoenix their quantity was fearful.

The Caladrius filled the sky making it look pure white, and they were about to attack the frightened humans within their stone walls. Even though the humans retaliated with arrows and had killed a lot of the Caladrius but if you look at the sky it didn’t seem like they were able to do anything at all.

When all hope was gone, a single man stood in front of the flock of Caladrius, and with a point of his finger lightning rained down from the heavens striking hundred of the gigantic birds. The man then made a few hand gestures and a downburst was created killing even more Caladrius. As the man was preparing his third attack the Caladrius fled.

Loki who watched the entire opening scene was amazed by the level of the special effects, but more than that he was amazed by the power of the Ancient Martial Artist. If this was truly how strong the Ancient Martial Artists were, then that would mean they were equal to the Archmages of his old world.

The Archmages were people who could manipulate the elements of a world to such a great degree that many of the commoners in Loki’s old world treated them as Gods. Still, even though they were powerful in a group battle, and were often used by Empires to wipe out a large portion of the enemy army, the Archmages were not really good in actual combat and were easy to kill once you got close enough. Loki had killed a number of evil Archmages so he was familiar with their ways.

‘Still, I wonder if this Ancient Martial Artist has the same weakness as the Archmages... I also wonder if the current Grandmasters could perform similar techniques.’ Loki continued to watch the movie with greater interest.
