The planet Takumi resided on was but a mere speck in the vastness of the universe.
The universe itself was unimaginably large.
Whether there were other civilizations out there remained uncertain.
At present, Takumi's influence extended only as far as the solar system.
Anything beyond that would have to be explored slowly, step by step.
Still, that wasn't a major concern.
Hearing Takumi's thoughts, Miori Shiba nodded thoughtfully. After reflecting on it, she agreed—there wasn't much from that world that could surprise Takumi in terms of technology.
In the One Punch Man world, most people relied more on individual strength than scientific advancement. Spaceships and such were just tools for travel, not symbols of technological evolution. The technological development over there had never been explosive.
"In any case, we need to keep bringing in more researchers. The ones we have now aren't enough to fully digest all the data and systems you've brought," Miori said. "And that includes magic."
"We should build proper schools too. The 227 Academy project should be restarted."
"Some of the curriculums need reworking. There's no history to study here anyway, so we may as well focus on magic and combat training."
"Right now, even though the schools are open, they only teach basic general subjects."
Miori stroked her chin, voicing her thoughts.
She believed it was time to put these changes on the agenda.
Takumi nodded in agreement.
"Alright! That's not a problem. We'll include magic and esper courses."
"They can be taught together. Even people with esper abilities can learn magic."
"The rules of our world have already changed. Everyone's energy has turned into Honkai energy, which can substitute for mana and spiritual force."
"Those who study magic will first undergo an esper awakening, then choose a path based on their attributes."
"You, for example, can easily learn wind-type magic."
"As for instructors... Lilia, get me some teachers from Velier."
Takumi fully supported this idea and had a plan in mind right away.
With so many people now living here, finding a few magic instructors shouldn't be difficult. Velier alone had billions of residents and a relatively complete educational structure.
Sending for magic instructors from there was the most efficient move.
Lilia nodded in acknowledgment.
"I'll send Ariel."
After a moment's thought, she added, "Kris would work too."
Kris, the strongest Magical Armor Girl and Ariel's own teacher, had already been freed from her curse. Though Velier had moved over, Kris remained with the cursed children, helping care for them.
Since she wasn't busy, why not have her take on the role of magic teacher?
Takumi nodded.
"Good. Also, study the magic system I brought back from High School DxD. If anything's unclear, I'll ask Gabriel to assist."
"There are quite a few similarities between systems. You should be able to grasp it without much trouble."
"Magic—different paths, same destination."
As he spoke, Takumi started working.
He hadn't touched the satellite server above yet. But since they were discussing these topics, it was the perfect time to upload everything he had.
With that in mind, he got to work.
First, he cut the internet briefly.
For about a second, everyone noticed the network blinked, lagged slightly, then recovered.
No one gave it much thought and simply continued with their day.
With the network rerouted, Takumi began transferring all his stored data to the moon.
Everything he had collected in his mind went up onto the lunar server.
A flood of data began uploading.
No one, apart from those in Takumi's immediate vicinity, had any clue what was going on.
He hadn't announced anything yet.
While uploading the data, Takumi turned to Lilia and the Holy Maiden.
"You two, handle this."
"Lilia, arrange for teacher recruitment. Make sure they're familiarized with the other world's magic system."
"Holy Maiden, prepare the schools. I remember we reserved several large campuses. Put them all to use."
"If that's not enough, build more."
Takumi detailed their responsibilities, and both women nodded in agreement.
No problem—they'd take care of it.
"One more thing," Miori said, "Some people want to start developing the outer cities. They're planning to build farms and grow food."
"Also, what about the magical beasts roaming outside? Do we need to intervene?"
She brought up the growing interest in developing land for agriculture. With the world stabilizing, many had begun setting up businesses. Naturally, some now wanted to lease land and start farming.
"No need to interfere."
"They'll need to hire labor and machinery. Let them work it out themselves. Doesn't matter to me."
Takumi waved dismissively.
Want to farm?
No issue.
He'd built ports into the city too. If someone wanted to go fishing instead of farming, that was fine as well.
Miori nodded.
"Got it. I understand. Then I'll give my father the go-ahead to open his heavy industry factory."
Her father had been looking for business opportunities. In the end, he decided to return to his roots.
"Your dad wants to open a factory?"
"Hmm... Sure, let him. Ships, or even spacecraft—either is fine."
"We'll grant him access to some of our tech. He can begin production, hire workers, and get familiar with the systems."
"Eventually, we may expand into the entire galaxy."
Takumi glanced at Miori.
If her father was eager to build, so be it.
They could even authorize him to manufacture spaceships.
As long as he could understand and apply the technology.
Shiba Heavy Industries had brought a lot of researchers along.
Aside from managers, their main strength was in technical personnel.
Though many of them had already been reassigned by Takumi to other departments.
Still, if they wanted to revive their heavy industry division, they were free to do so.
They could settle it internally.
