I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"The Honkai Beast in area C5, judging from its hostile reaction, should be an upper-level [Honkai Crusher] of the Tank class... Although the attack pressure is heavy, it will be fine as long as you pay attention to dodging. Let me rest for a while. The Honkai Beasts in the next area are yours."

P.S.: The Hedgehog Cat's vocabulary... is really hard to understand...

Chapter 206 Return

Half an hour has passed since Kiana and the others lost contact with the Hyperion after Kusanagi lost contact with it.

"..." Jill sat in the chair, half-closing her eyes and idly leaning on the armrest.

Those crew members who knew him well knew that the captain in front of them was getting a little impatient.

I still remember the last time there was a loss of contact – that time it was in a strong magnetic field mission area – the loss of contact lasted for just over half an hour, and this captain directly performed a divine intervention – the kind without a parachute.

Then, less than ten minutes later, a shockwave, visible to the naked eye from the Hyperion, burst out from that area of ​​strong magnetic field.

It is said that the Valkyries who returned that time held this captain in even greater awe…

In reality, Jill simply jumped down and started looking for her students.

They then successfully located the students who were surrounded by more than eighteen Temple-class Honkai Beasts and a blazing lightning bolt.

Then, Gil threw a punch—sending all the Honkai Beasts flying.

Finally, Gille delivered a Knight's Kick, shattering the blazing lightning bolt into pieces.

Fragments in the true physical sense, completely torn apart like a pineapple.

Then it's only natural that you'd be respected.

After all, to shatter that nearly 100-meter-long blazing lightning bolt with a single kick, how terrifying must one's kicking power be?

Moreover, that was "Blazing Lightning," a superior form of a Temple-class Honkai Beast. Coupled with that thick, building-like shield, even Valkyries with normal defensive capabilities would choose to act in groups, with one person attracting the Honkai Beast's attention from the front while the others flanked it and attacked from behind to win.

Jill chose to kick the Honkai Beast and its shield into pieces, which was terrifying enough...

The current situation suggests that this warship is about to be kicked into a hole.

No, thinking about it carefully, considering the force with which even a Templar's shield was kicked to pieces, it doesn't seem impossible...

Thinking of this, the crew members watched Jill cautiously, afraid that the old man might actually rush out and dismantle the thing in a fit of anger.

Jill's eyes were half-closed, but she didn't make a single move, which was a bit unusual...

“It should be about time by now…” Jill glanced at the screen beside her, which displayed a terrain map fed back by the scanning device on her tactical goggles. “Yin and the others should have reached area C6 by now.”

Jill had a pretty good idea of ​​how fast Kusanagi and the others could move together, but how come they still hadn't been able to re-establish contact?

Jill stroked her chin, staring thoughtfully at the communication channel.

After passing through area B5, the interior of the Moon Throne is completely blocked from communication.

If this communication block cannot be broken, the only option is to use the internal channel of the reverse entropy.

However, Jill did not have the authority to use this thing.

This is very uncomfortable.

So, Jill is now thinking of another idea: to just show off her divine intervention and storm in.

If the crew found out, I bet several of them would open the hatch for Jill and offer her a parachute.

Since I won't die anyway, and I'd probably get beaten up if I resisted, I might as well just help...

"What kind of captain is he if he can't even protect his own men?" This is what the captain in front of us says most often.

Therefore, two staff members have prepared umbrellas, hoping that this big shot will stop performing such nerve-wracking actions.

This tense atmosphere lasted only ten minutes before the sound of a communication device rang out, instantly dissipating the tension.

"Reporting, Captain, this is a communication from the Moon Throne—this is Kusanagi Gakuen, we have gained control of this ship."

Kusanagi's report puzzled Jill; how could they have gained control so easily?

However, after glancing at the script with the All-Knowing Star, Jill also frowned.

"...Understood. Fly the spaceship back to St. Freya Academy. Mission complete."

With Jill's order, this mission can be considered to have come to an end.

……

“Godfather… Collapse·Crush…” Gil read the report written by Kusanagi and couldn’t help but rub his temples.

The Moon Throne actually harbors so many Honkai creatures.

Moreover, it just so happens to be hidden on the only shortcut.

Starting with the thugs from the missing area B, there are a total of seven advanced Honkai creatures...

Jill tidied up the report in her hand, put it in the drawer next to her, and then stood up.

The report I just read was the last document he needed to process today.

“Brother Gil.”

The silver-haired girl ran into the office and pounced on Jill as she stood up.

Jill, with an extremely natural gesture, stretched out her arms and hugged the spoiled girl. "Estelle, what's wrong?"

"Kiana and the others went to the library, so I came to find Gil."

Esther's tone remained the same as before. Perhaps in the eyes of this sword spirit who had lived for over a thousand years but was still immature, two years was nothing at all.

Moreover, the child still acts like a spoiled child, and is indeed as clingy as a little kid.

It's just that sometimes people catch me sleeping in just knee-high socks...

This also led to Jill being scrutinized by Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Theresa, Himeko, and Fu Hua...

Honestly, Jill almost went crazy.

However, considering the principle that ignorance is no excuse, Jill had no choice but to explain Esther's bad habit in detail.

Even if Jill didn't care about what others thought, she couldn't tolerate being labeled a "perverted lolicon"...

Fortunately, they all accepted this explanation.

And the most carefree period of the past two years has undoubtedly been...

"Master! Master!"

A petite figure suddenly rushed in from outside the door, accompanied by a commotion of chickens and dogs. A young girl with long black hair ran into Jill's office and immediately hid behind her, looking up at Jill with pitiful eyes. "That old woman is going to eat me!"

"Who are you calling an old woman?!" With a furious roar, Himeko, wielding the Sunfire Greatsword in one hand, stormed into Gil's office, her aura menacing.

"Arthur, what have you done now?" Jill asked, looking at the young girl behind her with a questioning gaze.

That's right, the black-haired little girl is Gil's Pal—that is, the black and white dragon, Arthur.

Despite receiving the title of King of Knights, Arthur was not blond and blue-eyed at all—although he did have a pair of beautiful, tranquil blue eyes like a lake, Arthur's hair was definitely black.

However... she displayed a magnanimity (and appetite) perfectly befitting the King of Knights.

Anyway, Jill felt that ever since Arthur became human, her food expenses had suddenly increased significantly.

Arthur was transformed into human form more than a year ago after accidentally consuming a transformation potion from the Gate of Babylon.

And, by sheer coincidence, Esther was standing right in front of Arthur.

Therefore, when Arthur took human form, he became Esther's appearance.

So in the end, when Jill saw a black-haired, blue-eyed Arthur, she almost thought it was Esther who had gone to dye her hair...

Now that we've come this far, it's also necessary to talk about what happened after Arthur became human...

Suddenly, he started to let loose and act a bit like a free spirit.

If Jill were there, things would be fine. Jill's control, along with being Arthur's owner, makes Arthur appear incredibly obedient, docile, and adorable in front of Jill.

When Jill wasn't around, Arthur acted like a spoiled brat, going crazy everywhere.

...It's also fortunate that Arthur Pendragon (the Knight King of the Azure Silver) wasn't in this world, otherwise, if he saw this brat running around with his name on his person, he might have dragged him away and given him a good talking-to.

Let's talk about why Himeko was angry.

"...I'm telling you, Himeko, next time you do this, you should wash your face properly before complaining to me..."

Gil looked at Himeko's face, who was dragging the Sunfire Greatsword, and a somewhat subtle expression appeared on his face. "What's wrong with you looking like this?"

Himeko glared angrily at Arthur, who shrank back behind Gil, but Gil grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out. "What has this girl done?"

Arthur, with his short arms and legs, struggled with both hands and feet, but Jill's grip was too strong for Arthur to break free from.

“I was working on some documents and got a little sleepy, so I took a short nap. When I woke up, this brat's face was right in front of me, holding a pen…” Himeko raised her hand, slung the Sunfire Greatsword over her shoulder, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her amber eyes. “I know what she did without even thinking!”

"Meow meow!"

Startled, Arthur meowed and immediately hid behind Jill again. Jill looked helpless and said, "Ah, come here, let me wash your face."

He drew a cuneiform character, and a splash of water landed precisely on Himeko's face, along with a dry towel. "Wipe yourself off, and then we can discuss the issues related to this test."

"Didn't you already have a series of plans in mind?" Himeko wiped the water off her face, along with all the marks Arthur had written on her with a black pen, such as "idiot" and "old woman."

"No? Don't think I'll do everything for you to take over. You'll have to handle this assessment yourselves. Anyway, I've been playing these little devils' games for two years. They know my tricks better than yours."

Jill put Esther down and ruffled her silver hair, making Esther look cute and comfortable. "So, today I'm going to tell these kids..."

“You’re far from being able to play with me, Gilgamesh.” Gilgamesh grinned mischievously. “Himeko, arrange this test according to your wishes, whether it’s easy or difficult, I don’t intend to interfere.”

Himeko looked at Gil with a somewhat complicated expression. "What a willful teacher, huh?"

“Perhaps it’s wrong for a teacher to do this, after all, it’s like pushing someone else’s job onto someone else without my consent?” Jill smiled. “But I can’t stay here forever. Time is getting closer and closer, and all I can do is teach you everything I know.”

Indeed, two years have passed.

Originally, it was expected that I could only stay in this world for a maximum of about three years. Now, the time for that being to awaken is getting closer and closer, and the "opportunity for the final battle" in this world is also approaching step by step.

Gil looked out the window. "Himeko, do you remember when I asked you why you wanted to be a teacher?"

“I remember you said you wanted these students to learn how to cherish their own lives, right?” Himeko said.

"Life takes precedence over mission" and "Achieve the greatest results with the least cost, but never gamble with your life" are the two ideas that Jill has always taught to her students.

However, there are actually two more sentences.

"If you can use underhanded tactics against Honkai Beasts, don't just think about charging head-on; if you can backstab, don't think about unleashing a direct attack."
