Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

"It seems time is running out..."

The witch said with a hint of regret.

Immediately afterwards, she leaned forward and got close to Rhodes.

"Actually, sometimes when I see the professor being so close to other women, I feel a little jealous... I guess that's what love is."

After saying that, the witch lightly touched Rhodes' lips with hers.

A mischievous smile appeared on her slightly flushed face.

"Hehe, now I'm even with the professor."

As they were talking.

As the night faded, the distant horizon revealed the first rays of dawn.

The ancient Black Forest sheds its seclusion and mystery, and the sleeping forest animals slowly awaken, running and playing in the forest.

A massive academy clock tower rose from the ground, and the witch had changed into a dazzling gown.

"Professor, remember to come back to Imperial College to teach!"

"What?"

Rod was stunned.

Before the witch could answer, a figure shot out from the forest and slashed at her.

Fortunately, the witch was prepared and teleported to the clock tower in a flash of starlight.

Rhodes looked at the uninvited guest.

"Teacher, don't be afraid."

Luna, dressed in a skirt armor, wore a somber smile.

"I will definitely protect you from the clutches of these wicked women with malicious intentions."

"..."

No, I find you scarier.

Rhodes looked completely bewildered.

Luna glanced at the witch, showing no intention of continuing the fight.

He picked up Rod and fled into the distance.

[50% of the target progress!]

[Accompanying is the longest confession of love. Under your sweet words, even the primordial witch fell for you and succumbed to your clutches.]

You've said everything, the good and the bad.

……

In the blink of an eye.

Rhodes was taken by Luna to a dark coast.

"It's safe here."

Luna put Rhodes down and showed him concern and care.

"Teacher, are you alright? Those two women didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"I'm fine, but you..."

Rod looked up and met Luna's gaze.

There was no brilliance in the girl's eyes, only darkness, like an abyss.

This is Luna, whose heart is dead and who is just an empty shell.

"I'm fine. As long as the teacher is there, I can do anything."

Luna clung tightly to Rod's arm.

She forcibly dragged Rod to the huge reef on the shore.

"Teacher, I hurt you in the past and I still regret it to this day. Now, I have learned my lesson and decided to spend the rest of my life protecting you and nipping any potential threat in the bud."

"So teacher, you don't have to worry about anyone hurting you anymore."

Luna looked up at Rhodes and smiled.

"..."

Rhodes did not answer, but looked at the gray-black sea in front of him.

A light drizzle was falling from the gloomy sky.

It was exactly the same rainy night that led to Rhodes' assassination.

Clearly, Luna still harbors resentment about that night.

It is as heavy as this Black Sea.

"Is the teacher holding a grudge against me for not answering?"

Luna's expression twisted slightly when she saw that Rod didn't respond.

She suddenly grabbed Rod's hand, pressed it against her chest, and lay back on the ground.

"Kill me, teacher."

Luna handed the sword from her waist to Rhodes.

There was no fear of death in her eyes, but rather a strange longing.

"My life already belongs to my teacher. If my teacher hates me, whether he wants to torture me or kill me, I can accept it. To die at my teacher's hands would be the greatest happiness for me."

"...Are you kidding me?"

Rod couldn't help but ask.

Can you please stop talking about death all the time?

"I'm not kidding, I only live for my teacher."

Luna's relieved smile betrayed her pain and resolve.

"I'm willing to do anything to help you, whatever it is, as long as it's your wish. I will eliminate any threat to you, whether it's Ange, a witch, or the empress."

Rhodes found it hard to bear looking at Luna, who was determined to die.

The other party's psychological burden was simply too heavy.

In reality, Luna is always lively and energetic.

However, the knot in her heart about assassinating Rhodes was not untied by this.

It's just buried deep in my heart.

"Luna, why did you push yourself to this point? I don't care about this, and you should know that the whole thing was my plan, and in the end, I was the one who killed myself."

"But the sword I used to stab my teacher was real, and I will never forget the feeling of it piercing his body."

Luna kept shaking her head.

His empty gaze was fixed on Rhodes, his arms outstretched.

"Teacher, you don't need to comfort me. My body, my heart, my soul, everything I have will be given to you. You just need to accept it."

Do you think I would accept it?

Rhodes countered with a question.

He gazed at Luna and sensed the oppression in her empty heart.

Luna is a person who dares to love and hate, and because of this, once she knows that she has committed an unforgivable crime, even if the other party forgives her, she will not forgive herself.

Even if you try your best to bury it deep in your heart, the pressure will continue to accumulate and you will be unable to relieve it.

"What will you do if I don't accept?"

"If even my teachers don't need me anymore, then there's no point in me living..."

"Fine, then go die."

Rod said coldly.

"..."

Luna was not surprised at all upon hearing this.

Only a sense of relief.

She immediately stood up and walked towards the vast sea.

"Farewell, teacher."

She turned back and gave Rhodes one last, deep look, as if she wanted to remember him forever.

Finally, she resolutely jumped into the deep sea.

Luna disappeared into the sea.

Without saying a word, Rod jumped down as well.

He dived into the sea and searched continuously.

Soon, he spotted Luna, her eyes slightly closed, slowly sinking into the sea.

Rod swam faster and pulled Luna close.

Then he leaned in to kiss Luna's lips.

Perform artificial respiration.

"Well……"

Luna sensed something was wrong and slowly opened her eyes.

After realizing what had happened.

I woke up instantly.

The seawater that had submerged the two receded suddenly, but the blush on Luna's face was rapidly rising.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated.

The tranquil moonlight shines down upon the world.

After a long time, their lips parted.

"Luna, you can die, but I can choose to save you."

Rod said seriously.

However, Luna didn't hear it at all.

She simply touched her lips, her face flushed red, her mind preoccupied with other things.

"Did I...did I do it? I finally did it with the teacher?"

"..."

Seeing Luna fidgeting there, Rod didn't know what to say for a moment.

The change was too rapid and was truly perplexing.

At this moment, the bright moon hangs in the sky, the blue sea is surging, and Luna has changed back into her formal dress.

I don't know how much time passed.

"teacher……"

Luna looked up at Rhodes.

But they discovered that Rhodes had disappeared.

[75% of the target progress!]

[To love even unto death—such a profound and weighty emotion is proof of the grave sins you have committed.]

……

Just as Luna was searching everywhere for Rhodes.

Rod felt the scene shift, and he found himself in a vast expanse of white snow.

He was very familiar with this place.

He followed the memories in his mind.

Before long, a large tree came into his view.

Rhodes approached the tree and saw a bench under it, with a young girl sitting on it.

"Teacher, you've arrived."

Ange turned to look at Rod, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

"yes……"

Rhodes nodded and sat down next to Ange.

Just like it has been repeated countless times.

Unlike others, Rod had always been very clear about Ange's inner world.

After all, the two of them had spent countless hours together at the ends of the earth.

This is just a brief reminiscing about the past.

"If there were no past, I would definitely try my best to keep my teacher in this world."

Anjie reached out and caught the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"But things are different now. I've had the teacher all to myself for a very long time, so it's time to move on to the future."

She leaned her head against Rod.

Rod didn't say anything, he just quietly kept Ange company as she watched the snow.

Snowflakes are falling.

The world is beginning to disintegrate.

In the final moments before it was about to fall apart.

Ange suddenly placed her hand on Rod's chest.

"Actually, I initially thought I would take the initiative and seize the teacher's inner world."

She spoke softly, her eyelids lowered.

"But why is it that the teacher's inner world is completely empty, devoid of anything?"

"..."

Rhodes also vaguely sensed something.

From the very beginning, he appeared in other people's worlds.

[100% of the target progress!]

[Goal achieved!]

You have successfully survived the chaotic scene.

……

The magnificent seven-colored flowers are in full bloom.

Rhodes slowly opened his eyes and found himself back in reality.

The others also awoke from their inner world.

The group exchanged glances.

My mood feels different from before.

"The blessing ceremony is over."

The city lord clapped his hands and stepped forward, smiling as he congratulated everyone.

"Congratulations everyone. According to the laws of the Empire, receiving the blessing of the Flower Fairy is equivalent to being married."

"To the best of my knowledge, there is no such law..."

Rod frowned.

"Professor, don't you know? This was just established recently."

The city lord blinked.

"..."

Rhodes glanced at the Empress.

The Empress stood there nonchalantly.

Just then, the flower fairies began to weep and wail.

"Waaaaah... The blessing failed... Rod has already received blessings from other fairies... We can't beat her..."

"Has the teacher already received the blessing?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Rhodes.

"..."

Does a fairy's blessing come with conflicts?

Feeling the increasingly intense, suspicious gazes of the others.

Rod was really sweating profusely.

Where's the system? Please help!

It was as if I could hear Rhodes's call.

In that instant, the whole world froze.

[All objectives have been achieved. You have been granted permission to leave and are ready to return to the world of high martial arts at any time!]
