Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Ning woke up early the next morning and walked out of the ship to check the surrounding.

"Oh," he thought when he saw the dark sky with clouds covering it from end to end. "It's going to rain huh?"

He went back to the ship and started preparing for their travels today.

The first thing he did was create some food for them all to eat. He called them all to the hanger where it was open and wide and they all sat down as they heard the torrential rainfall on the spaceship.

Once they were done, Ning gave them all a few things.

The group looked at the items they received a little weirdly. Most of them had no idea what they were looking at. Neither could they tell what the material they were touching was.

"Oh, plastic," The slime said when he heard the crinkle as touch was foreign to him at the moment.

"What are we supposed to do with this?" they asked.

"Well the boot should be obvious, right? They are thick boots that come up to your knee. Perfect for wearing in a rain forest where leeches and snakes and a lot of bugs are a pearl a dozen. I don't have to constantly scurry them away like I did yesterday," Ning said.

"You did something like that?" Trevain asked. "I didn't notice."

"If you did, you would have run away too," Ning said. "Next is a cream to keep away mosquitoes and other flying bugs. Just wear them all over your body."

"Finally, you have the raincoat. It will help you walk in the rain without getting soaked in it," Ning said.

"Hmm, not bad," Saphandra thought to herself.

"Oh yeah, let me know if you need some better clothes. I can give you some," Ning said.

Tessa and Ori asked for a more tight-fitting dress that wouldn't get caught in the branches of the trees or such.

Ning made a few such suits and a small one for the princess too. After all of that was done, they dressed up and got ready to leave.

Ning was the first one to jump from the hanger. He landed on the ground with a large bang.

"Come on," he said and the rest slowly got down.

Saphandra caught the little princess and jumped, slowing her descent before she reached the ground.

The slime simply floated down and landed next to the bear that was sitting under a giant tree, hiding from the rain.

"I'll catch you," Ning said and finally the last 3 dared to jump from the massive height.

Trevain was the first to jump, and Ning slowed him down before he arrived. Tessa jumped after that, and Ori after her.

Once they were all on the ground, Ning looked in the direction of the volcano and started walking.

"Hey, you got anything for my beast?" the slime asked as they walked.

Ning looked towards the beast, upon which the princess was riding, and shook his head. "It's a bear that was born and bred in the rainforest. It doesn't need anything as living in the rain is second nature to it," he said.

"Oh, okay," the slime said and they continued walking.

The constant sound of pattering continued as the rain fell on them, and once or twice they even saw a student or two walk by not far away.

However, each time they would change the direction after seeing so many people at one location.

The slime turned its slimy arm into sharp-edged weapons and sliced away any vines or branches that were on their way.

Ning constantly looked around just in case there were any beasts that were secretly trying to target them.

Just as they were walking around, the princess suddenly shouted.

"There!"

Everyone turned towards the princess and then towards where she was pointed. When they did, they saw the last bit of something blue flying into the forest, disappearing away from view.

"A spirit!" Ning's eyes widened in surprise. Without hesitation, he teleported away.

He arrived not far from where the Spirit was, and he put up his arm to use Telekinesis on the spirit. However, it did not work on the spirit at all.

Spirits were being of energy, and unfortunately, energy was something he could not control.

Just as he was about teleport again, the spirit stopped and looked back. A slight ringing sound came from the spirit as the humanoid manifestation of energy turned its head towards Ning.

Ning wasn't sure if the Spirit was interested in him or not, but he didn't move. The spirit slowly moved towards him with a curious look on his face, making multiple jingling noises as it did.

It was merely 5 meters away from Ning when its head suddenly turned away from Ning and behind him where the group was running towards him.

The Spirit was spooked and it fled away.

"Wait, don't go," Ning said, but the spirit flew away. "Dammit!"

"What happened?" Ori asked.

"The Spirit got scared. It saw you guys running and got scared," Ning said.

"I— I'm sorry," Ori said with a dejected face.

"No, it's alright. I don't blame you," Ning said. "But we will have to be careful next time to—"

He stopped speaking when he noticed the spirit far away, hiding behind a tree and looking at them.

"What? What's wrong?" they asked when he stopped speaking suddenly.

"The spirit is right behind me. Don't move and let it approach us instead," he said.

Everyone suddenly stood still and only moved their eyes around to look for the spirit.

"Ah, there," Tessa said in a whisper. Everyone else saw it too.

The male-looking spirit was slowly flying towards them, with a very curious look on its face. The jingles and bells only got louder as it came close and right next to them.

No one made sudden movements and let the spirit come in between them.

Then Ning looked at the rest of them and asked in a low voice.

"Who first?"
