Divine Frost: Corrupting the Bleach Realm

Chapter 3: Getting Free

Just like Yuna and Naruto, Hinata was an orphan. Apparently, her father ran away early on, while her mother doesn't have the means to raise a child. Due to looking through parts of her mother's memories, she knew her father's face, so she briefly pondered on whether she should hunt him down at some point in time, but she decided not to bother with him.

Anyway, since she knew that Yuna and Naruto had better means to investigate how this world works, she decided to wholeheartedly spend her time getting stronger and look for the duo as soon as possible.

Just like Yuna, Hinata... found some money which she partially donated to the orphanage to improve the food quality.

Hinata planned to invest quite a bit of time into finding Yuna and Naruto after she had gotten a little older, but fortunately, that wasn't necessary as they somehow not only ended up at the same school but even in the same class. Naturally, she was very excited that her reunion with Yuna and Naruto happened so fast.

Anyway, a few days passed, and Yuna was currently sitting inside the school's library and was studying a thick geography book, while the desk in front of her was filled with pieces of paper that seemed to have random scribbles on them. Occasionally, she would put the book down and add a few more scribbles before resuming to read. By now, she had already established herself as a bookworm at school, so no one was bothering her, which fit her just right. Unlike Naruto, who sought after social interactions, Yuna couldn't care less. Well, Hinata was sitting next to her and was reading an adventure book, so it was not like Yuna had no social interactions.

Meanwhile, Hinata saw Yuna scribble down a few more symbols and couldn't contain her curiosity any longer.

"Yuna, what exacty are doing?"

"Calculating."

Naturally, Hinata had no idea what she meant, so she was waiting for Yuna to continue her explanation, but Yuna apparently thought that that single word was more than enough.

"What do you mean by calculating?"

Yuna looked up from her book when she realized she wasn't paying proper attention to Hinata and chuckled a little.

"Sorry, I was engrossed in what I was doing. Basically, I'm studying the shape of this world, the position of mountains and rivers, and stuff like that to find out which places have the highest chance to be rich in Natural Energy."

Hinata's eyes widened in surprise when she heard Yuna's explanation. She had never heard about such a mystical-sounding method.

"Is that really possible?"

Yuna nodded her head as she focused back on the book she was holding while continuing her explanation.

"It's more or less a statistical process combined with my vast experience about the shape of different worlds. If this planet were in its natural state, this would have been an easy process, but due to how much humans have intervened in the environment of this planet, things have become significantly more complicated."

Hinata simply nodded her head in understanding. Although she still wasn't entirely certain about the process itself, she could easily imagine that all the pollution and stuff like that would interfere with the flow of Natural Energy.
