I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Siegfried walked over to Gillespie's side. "Thank you so much this time... Without you, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape this time..."

"Just say what you have to say," Jill said, opening a can of coffee that appeared out of nowhere.

“…No, I’m just really grateful to you…” Siegfried paused, then continued, “If you had come a few minutes later, I could have given you my letter of entrustment.”

Jill looked Siegfried up and down.

Although Siegfried had changed into new clothes, it was easy to tell that his breathing was no longer deep and even, clearly indicating that he was injured.

“While the words aren’t very pleasant to hear, I accept this explanation.” Jill shrugged and reached into the space, from which two small porcelain bottles emerged from the golden ripples. “The medicine in the white bottle is for internal use, and the medicine in the red bottle is for your exclusive use; it can treat your old injuries and bruises.”

Siegfried took the porcelain bottle from Jill. "Thank you, kid..."

"Go and rest. By the way, we need to take our time with that matter. We can't rush it, or it will only backfire," Jill said to Siegfried.

After listening, Siegfried nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

"Well then, I'll head back now." Gil waved gently at Siegfried, then stopped as if remembering something.

He took out a light blue necklace pendant. "This is a shield, or rather, a triggerable bulletproof vest. The deployed shield can last for about five or six minutes. During this time, even an Emperor-level Honkai Beast cannot break through. Go back and put it on Kiana."

"Oh! This is really..."

Siegfried stared in surprise at the pendant before him. This pendant was clearly not as unremarkable as it looked; it was a shield that even a King-level Honkai Beast couldn't break through in five or six minutes...

It would look so beautiful on my daughter. Siegfried thought to himself, then tucked the pendant into his pocket. "Thank you, Jill."

Jill shrugged. "I just feel sorry for Kiana, who has no one to protect her."

"Ha...hahaha..." Siegfried chuckled awkwardly.

Jill waved her hand. "Then I'll be going now."

“Well, thank you so much, Gil.” Siegfried gripped the blue, snowflake-shaped necklace tightly in his right hand.

Jill waved with her back to him.

A golden light flashed, and Jill vanished from the spot.

……

"Phew... I'm finally back... Ahh, I feel like my body is about to fall apart..."

Jill's previous cuts on his face had long since healed, but he still habitually touched his face.

No scars were left...that's a good thing.

But... what was that strange feeling...?

Jill once again recalled the strange feeling she had when she faced Celia's final appearance.

"Never mind... there's always a way out..."

The cherry blossoms outside the window are still falling, creating a beautiful scene.

Chapter Seventy-Five: St. Freya Academy

How much can a person or thing change in a decade or so?

Perhaps it marks the beginning of an era, or the end of an era; or perhaps it signifies a boy growing into a young adult... or perhaps he simply grows into a teenager.

Ah, we've gone off-topic, let's get back on track.

Far East Region – St. Freya Academy

Alternatively, it can be called the Destiny Organization – Far East Branch.

After all, this is the branch of the Destiny organization in the Far East, and this is Theresa Apocalypse's territory!

Who is Theresa? She is the commander of Schicksal's Far East Branch, the head of the academy, the patriarch of the Apocalypse family (one of the three great families of Schicksal), and the granddaughter of Archbishop Otto Apocalypse of Schicksal!

Of course, there are also people who are not afraid at all of this girl who looks only twelve years old but is actually four... I mean fourteen years old... cough, loli.

Such as now.

St. Freya Academy —

In 2009, Theresa applied to leave Schicksal headquarters and go to the farthest Far East branch to establish an academy.

Of course, the building plans and materials had already been prepared. A teacher from St. Freya Academy, who was there to meet them, had started construction two months earlier. By the time Theresa arrived, the buildings at St. Freya Academy were already completed.

Theresa established this academy to cultivate "warriors who cherish their own lives and fight against the Honkai."

Although Theresa's idea was called "naive" by Archbishop Otto of Destiny, it was still approved for implementation.

At St. Freya Academy, it was still class time.

……

"As we have seen, after that... this kind of stigma... that is, artificial stigma, also began to be used, but this kind of stigma has certain side effects."

St. Freya Academy, Great Classroom.

Standing on the podium was a boy with blond hair.

The boy looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with short, golden hair as bright as sunshine. His appearance was undeniably handsome, and the black-rimmed glasses he wore added a touch of intellectualism. His bright red eyes, with vertical pupils, were scanning the classroom.

No one is slacking off, that's good.

The boy's voice possessed a maturity beyond his years, and the topics he spoke of in a detached tone were far from trivial.

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class, and the boy paused in his speech.

"That's the end of class for today." The boy closed his book and took off his glasses. "Study hard after class. I might give you a surprise test anytime, and those who fail will be very upset."

A commotion arose in the classroom. Just as the boy finished packing his things and was about to leave, someone called out to him.

"Teacher Jill." The silver-gray-haired girl with glasses walked towards the boy and called out to him.

Jill looked up. "Ah, Fu Hua, is there something you need?"

Jill has been in the Honkai world for about fifteen years now.

Because a certain masochistic template forcibly slowed down Jill's growth rate, while also saying things like "Host, come and torment me to make you happy" in an unusually irritating tone...

Believe me, even if you were a muscular man who could calmly play Euler at the age of nine, you still couldn't stay calm.

So Jill chose the Euler template and tried to use the potion to restore her body.

The result was naturally failure.

Every time the template causes a problem, Jill would conveniently cut off Jill's second solution as well, and this time was no exception.

Jill had no choice but to accept the fact that her body was aging at half the rate it was going to.

Otherwise, Gil, who has already fully realized his potential, should now reclaim his prime and run rampant in this world.

Of course, Jill can now run rampant in this world. Even the "god" of the Honkai might not be able to fight and defeat Jill now.

Jill, on the other hand, has a high probability of defeating that "god" in a one-on-one situation.

In addition, Jill has not just been waiting to grow up over the past fifteen years, but has been constantly learning more things, such as how to control magic more precisely.

"I hope you can spar with me again," the Chinese-born class monitor said to Jill.

Jill rubbed her temples. "What about time?"

"Soon, anyway, it's already past school dismissal time," Fu Hua said, adjusting his glasses.

The girl before him was the class monitor of Jill's class. She excelled in both theoretical studies and combat practice, a typical top student. Her fighting style was unarmed combat, or more accurately, Chinese martial arts.

The girl in front of him was skilled in martial arts, a skill that even Gil admired.

Not only is he diligent and studious with top grades in his grade, but he also perseveres in self-improvement. In a sense, he is the kind of "other people's child" that parents admire.

After all, Fu Hua always gets first place in every exam, and she can easily get 80% correct in Jill's surprise test, which shows that Fu Hua is also very capable.

In addition, Fu Hua often sparred with Jill, and Jill also sensed a powerful force dormant within the girl in front of her, a force with a somewhat fiery feeling.

However, Jill usually rubs her temples when she feels something is thorny or has a headache.

Because every time he sparred with Fu Hua, a large number of students would gather to watch.

After all, I should mention something here...

Regarding the issue of Honkai energy adaptability.

As for this world, well... the world that Jill can associate it with is...

Sword dance of the elves.

In this world, most of those with Honkai energy adaptability are women, which is almost identical to the world where only women can sign contracts.

So in other words, St. Freya Academy... is a girls' school (probably).

Jill was also glad that she had come in as a teacher.

I still vividly remember being tricked by Grevas at Aresia Academy...

As a teacher, Jill is mainly responsible for the practical training part.

Today's history class was originally scheduled to be taught by another teacher, but that teacher had to take the day off, so Jill substituted for her.

The teacher and Jill already had a good relationship, and since the teacher rarely asked for his help, Jill was willing to cover his class once.

Jill doesn't mind helping her classmates with after-school tutoring, but very few students are willing to have her tutor them...

Fu Hua, however, was one of those very few students.

Chapter 76 The Third Collapse

Fifteen minutes later, at St. Freya Academy, in the combat training ground.

Fu Hua, who had already changed into her training clothes, looked at Gil who had just arrived and said, "Teacher, let's begin."

The girls watching nearby also started cheering for Fu Hua.

"Go, class monitor!"

"Class monitor! Knock down the teacher!"

Such words were also heard from the surrounding onlookers.

"Well, come on, Fu Hua, give it your all." Jill lowered her body, her crimson eyes shining.
