I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"Ding-dong-"

Then the doorbell rang, and Kiana was about to stand up when Jill pressed her back down. A white robot suddenly appeared, opened the door, and then disappeared.

"The world's cutest Theresa is here!"

Then, a white-haired loli dressed in a nun's habit walked in from outside, followed by Himeko.

"Aren't you finished your tutoring yet? It's already 10 o'clock!" Himeko asked.

“How was I supposed to know this would happen? Lian, that kid who's never studied geography or physics, could solve problems using formulas in an afternoon, and this guy can't even memorize his book.” Jill slapped her forehead. “Let's call it a day for tonight. Honestly, I don't think teaching swordsmanship is this tiring. Memorizing something as simple as that is so exhausting…”

To be honest, even Lian, who was only half-grown up, could easily use formulas to solve physics calculation problems after an afternoon of teaching by Jill. Kusanagi, who already had some basic knowledge, was even able to score in the 80s on the Huaxia high school exam.

Moreover, these two studied geography, unlike Kiana who just memorized a simple history and was already making a huge fuss.

"Then I'll head back first...? Theresa, what's wrong?" Jill looked at Theresa, who was clutching his clothes, with some confusion.

“Please sit down first, there are some things I need to tell you.” Theresa glanced at everyone present. “What follows is about some missions.”

……

"Recycling items?" Jill looked at Theresa with some confusion. "But why would I be involved in this kind of task?"

“We hope you will lead the team on this mission, consider it an internship. After all, your abilities speak for themselves, and we feel more at ease letting you go,” Theresa said.

“Oh, I won’t go later.” Jill said expressionlessly.

You want me to work overtime again? I don't mind tutoring this white-haired idiot after I just got back, but now you want me to lead an internship? Are you kidding me?

"But Himeko and I have some very important things to do recently... Please, just this once, I'll pay you overtime when I get back, okay?"

So Theresa put on a pitiful look, like the eyes of an abandoned little animal, which Jill found hard to bear.

“…Tsk, never mind, this is too much trouble.” Jill shook her head. “I almost agreed, but…”

Jill looked at the girls in front of her. "Kiana, there's a small test in three days. My requirements aren't high. Last time you only got 21 points in all five subjects combined, right? This time you need to get 210 points before I'll let you go for the internship."

“And for this mission, I hope Lian and Yin can participate.” Jill stood up, glanced at the time on her phone, and said, “It’s late, I’m going back now.”

“Hidden’s strength is about the same as yours, Theresa, and even if Ren encounters a Herrscher, she can kill them as long as the methods are right—” Gilles said before leaving.

"I'm going back to sleep now, my head hurts a little."

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Why do people hurt each other?

In just three days, someone who scored only 21 points on the last test became someone who scored 210 points...

Wow, that's practically impossible!

After Gil left, Kiana held her head in distress, "How can this be? The devil teacher clearly doesn't want me to participate in the internship!"

Just then, Theresa's phone rang.

Theresa answered the phone, listened for a couple of minutes, nodded, and turned on the speakerphone.

“Oh right, I forgot to mention one additional condition.” Jill’s voice came through the phone. “Kiana, you can participate in the internship with a score of 210. If you score over 300… I’ll tell you about your mother, Cecilia Shaniat. It’s not much, but I think that will motivate you a bit, right?”

"Bang!" Kiana slammed her hand on the table. "You devil teacher, are you serious?"

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Although I'm not exactly a gentleman, I can still keep my promises, Theresa, you don't have any objections, do you?"

Theresa paused for a moment, then said, "I have no objection."

She frowned. Why would Jill suddenly bring this up?

"Well then, Kiana, study hard from now on." Theresa stood up. Since Himeko lived with the three of them, it was Theresa who needed to return to the dormitory to rest. "Whether you can do your internship and whether you can hear about your mother depends on the test in three days, okay?"

After saying that, Theresa turned and left, saying, "I'm going back to rest too."

……

"Ding dong..."

"Dean?"

After hearing the dormitory doorbell ring, Lian ran to open the door and saw Theresa standing outside.

“I’m here to see Jill,” Theresa explained simply.

According to Gil, the girl in front of him has the strength of a "Herrscher", which means that she can at least defeat Sirin.

And this girl... Len Ashbell, who calls Gilles...

"Master"?

In other words, this Herrscher-level combat power was personally taught by Gilles?

However, considering that Jill had single-handedly beaten up Sirin, Theresa felt a little relieved...

That's a joke.

You're all monsters! What is a Herrscher? A walking, humanoid catastrophe! Your master is like this, and you're like this too? Or is what that guy said about not knowing how to teach students a lie?!

"Yes, Dean, please come in." Lian nodded.

His master was incredibly insightful and immediately guessed the academy head's visit.

Enkidu and Gilgamesh seemed to be discussing something, but when they saw Theresa enter, they stopped their conversation and looked at Theresa.

“Jill, why did you make that promise?” Theresa stormed up to Jill and asked.

Looks like they've come here to demand an explanation?

“I always have my reasons for doing things,” Jill shrugged. “Theresa, aren’t you surprised?”

"What's so strange?" Theresa sat down unhappily on a chair and asked.

"Regarding this, it concerns Kiana's memories from before she was nine years old."

Gil glanced at Kusanagi, who nodded, then ran to the side and pulled Ren away. "Senior Ren, the King has important matters to discuss, let's excuse ourselves for a moment."

Lian glanced at Jill, then nodded, and the two of them ran back to their room on the second floor.

Gilles glanced at Theresa. "When I first met Kiana—oh, that was fourteen years ago in Schicksal—Siegfried was chasing Kiana who was running around, and I caught her. She made eye contact with me, so I gave Kiana a blessing, the rune 'GEBO,' which means a blessing of miracles and gifts."

"Later, during that snowfield war, I rescued you. At that time, I also gave Siegfried two bottles of healing potions and a pendant specifically for Kiana. It was a defensive pendant that could withstand a full-force attack from an Emperor-class Honkai Beast. But twelve years later, that pendant that could withstand a full-force attack from an Emperor-class Honkai Beast is gone. Also, as I told you two months ago, my [Blessing] is also gone."

Jill began to piece together the beginning and the course of events.

“And at that moment, I remembered what happened back then, right after the Second Honkai Impact ended,” Jill said slowly.

"Back then, Siegfried and Cecilia brought Kiana to visit me—you were the one who took me there, weren't you? You should know something about that."

That night, Siegfried told me something. "Gill began, "On February 28th, when Siegfried got up in the middle of the night, he saw a dark figure next to Kiana's crib."

The shadowy figure seemed to have done something to Kiana, but Kiana didn't suffer any real damage. When I checked Kiana's condition, I noticed that she had only had a few strands of hair cut off..."

"Stop talking!" Theresa suddenly stood up on the chair, grabbed Jill by the collar, and made Jill look directly at her. "Let's not talk about this anymore!"

Their faces were less than five centimeters apart, close enough to feel each other's breath, but Theresa didn't seem to care. "What do you know? How much do you know?"

Gil's expression remained calm, and even Enkidu seemed to be observing from the sidelines.

"Why don't we ask Otto about this? But let's make this clear first..."

Jill gently removed Theresa's hand and then flicked her forehead with her finger.

"pain!"

“I don’t care who she is, but she is Kiana Kaslana, my student, the daughter of Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Shaniat…”

Jill moved closer to Theresa, looking down at her. "Do you understand?"

Theresa covered her forehead and pouted, "You stubborn tsundere, if you want to say you'll protect me, just say it, instead of beating around the bush."

“…” Jill’s lips twitched slightly. “Hmm?”

Clearly, some white-haired old man... the white-haired loli exposed Gilgamesh, causing Enkidu to turn his head away, and there was a "thump" sound coming from the ceiling...

"...Theresa, this doesn't exist, understand?"

Jill immediately stared at Theresa with a threatening look, her eyes conveying the message, "If you tell anyone, I'll absolutely rebel and tear up all your Houmu comic books, and I'll watch you every day to prevent you from slacking off and make you work overtime until you die."

"Understood, understood!" Theresa's sixth sense instantly led her to make the right choice.

Hmm, so why do people hurt each other?

Chapter 100 You're Really Crazy

"Alright, then you should go home and get some rest tonight." Jill flicked Theresa's head. "Having such a silly niece, isn't it tiring? Go home and rest. I don't have class tomorrow, so I'll help you with some paperwork."

"Okay... but no overtime pay?"

“…” Jill picked up a sapphire the size of a pigeon egg, and then…

“…a rich dog.”

“Where did you learn that word…” Jill complained. “I prefer you to call me a capitalist; that’s a better term.”

Theresa made a face, then jumped off the chair and ran away.

“Jill, there’s someone watching us 600 meters to the west-northwest.”

Enkidu spoke after Theresa left.

"What weapon is the opponent using? A spear or a scythe? A katana or a pistol?"

Jill took a sip of the tea, and sure enough, it couldn't compare to Shennong tea at all. Whether it was the aroma or the aftertaste, it was far inferior. But it was only good for quenching thirst.

"I can feel the long handle and the blade... it's a sickle."

"Oh...it's her."

Jill curled her lip in disdain. "Let her have her way. I don't want to deal with her."

Enkidu curiously sensed the fluctuation, "Who is she?"

“Rita Losweiser,” Jill yawned. “She’s one of Otto’s subordinates, a maid, though also a vice-captain of what’s called… [The Undying Blade]. Her combat strength is probably between AS-rank Valkyries. I guess she’s just here to spy on me. The last time we met was two years ago in this world, but…”

His eyes lit up, and then the air around the dormitory began to distort.

Because he hated being spied on, Gilli had arranged a large number of runes of various kinds inside and out to block the view from the outside.
