The system handed me over to the state.

Bronya nodded happily and smiled, saying, "Okay, then thank you, class monitor."

Bronya's smile surprised Fu Hua, who stared blankly for a moment. "Bronya, you... can smile?"

"Well... after all, my world is not quite the same as what you know. In my era and world, there was no Honkai energy. That world went down a different path."

"How...how could you obtain the power of a Herrscher without Honkai energy?"

Fu Hua was stunned. If there were no Honkai, then there would be no Herrschers in the world, and there would be no Honkai outbreak. So where did Bronya's Herrscher power come from?

"It was given to me by a higher-dimensional being. My role is to connect my world with the worlds in other world bubbles. The countries in my world are basically the same as those here. And because there is no Honkai energy, the competition between countries is even more intense. My purpose in coming here is to fight for my country."

"The Soviet Union?"

"No, it's Shenzhou. Class monitor, me, Kiana, Mei-neechan, and you were all born in Shenzhou. And Principal Theresa was the same. Even Otto and the others were born in Shenzhou."

Hmm... Although there are no real people there, all the artists are native Chinese, so it should be okay to say they were born in China, right? After all, they are created by Chinese people, so naturally they have Chinese nationality. Just consider it a little cheating.

"this...."

Fu Hua was momentarily at a loss for words, completely shocked by Bronya's words. In response, Bronya smiled and said, "Class monitor, you don't need to be nervous. Just relax. The history of your world is presented in our world in the form of a game. Therefore, I am very familiar with your past and future."

"I can guarantee that I will use my current power to rewrite your future tragedy, except for that cuckold. If I weren't so confident, I would want to rush over and smash him to death right now."

This was Bronya's truest thought. If it weren't for the fact that Otto was cunning and hadn't revealed many of his trump cards in the game's storyline, and that she was, after all, just the Herrscher of Reason, she might have been able to beat Durandal, Rita, or even Fu Hua, but... facing the power of Otto and the Void Archives, she was still somewhat... powerless.

Therefore, Bronya decided to fight Otto in another way. During the year, she did not just stay in the game to clear Paradise. Whenever there was any action related to Schicksal, she would make Schicksal lose everything.

"Cuckolded...man?"

"It's Otto!"

Fu Hua remained silent, took a sip of tea, and nodded, saying, "Indeed... Otto hates you to the core now, and that defeat completely enraged and drove him to madness. That was the first time I saw that expression on his face."

What Fu Hua was referring to was the attack launched by Otto against Bronya six months ago, after all of Schicksal's operations and research institutes around the world were destroyed by Bronya and World Serpent. Otto angrily ordered Durandal to obtain the Luna Soul Armor, Rita to take the Luna Soul Armor, and Fu Hua to launch an attack on Bronya.

As a result, they didn't even see Bronya before being nearly killed by a hidden, massive construct bomb. Durandal was seriously injured protecting Rita, while Rita was slightly injured. Durandal, however, survived thanks to Bronya's covert protection.

“This is exactly what I want to see. And to be honest, class monitor, give up on cooperating with Otto as soon as possible. He has too much to hide and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. You have seen it for yourself. Give up on him as soon as possible and cooperate with Dean Theresa.”

She didn't want to see Otto say those words... She didn't care whether Otto was lying or not, she just didn't want to see that happen.

Fu Hua lowered her head, looking at the calm surface of the tea in her cup. Bronya, on the other hand, felt a little uneasy. She suddenly thought of a thought from long ago: if Fu Hua hadn't experienced that betrayal, would she have awakened to become a treasure hunter?

Similarly, there's Kiana. Without Himeko's sacrifice and Fu Hua's help, it's questionable whether she could successfully break free from the Herrscher of the Void's shackles. But Bronya doesn't want these tragedies to happen again; she wants to make a change.

However, whether these changes would create even bigger problems remained a source of confusion and hesitation for Bronya.

"I understand, I'll keep that in mind... But what brings you here this time?"

Bronya smiled. "It's simple, class monitor. I want to learn the Void Sword Qi from you. If I can learn swordsmanship as well, that would be even better."

Fu Hua's expression froze. "Tai Xu Sword Qi...Why do you want to learn this?"

"Because there is a need, the Herrscher of Reason's physical strength is still too weak. I hope to increase my close combat ability and physical strength by learning the Void Sword Qi. I don't know if it will work."

After all... if every battle relies on her construct, Little Rabbit, but she herself doesn't have much combat ability outside of them... it's okay against ordinary enemies, but against stronger enemies... that becomes the key factor in determining victory or defeat.

Moreover... Kiana, the Herrscher of the Void, was able to directly confront a full-force Treasure Hunter even without fully mastering the Herrscher of the Void's abilities by learning the Void Sword Qi. She wants one too!

Fu Hua thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "No problem, I will teach you well."

"That's great, squad leader. When does training start? Now? Or in a few days?"

"I'll teach you if you come back to St. Freya Academy with me."

Bronya fell silent... So, if she wanted to learn, she would have to face Bronya and Kiana in this world... This... is just too amazing!

Chapter 21: Quad-Turbocharging

"You...you...."

"I said, do you need to be so surprised to see me?"

Bronya tucked her long gray hair behind her ear and asked, somewhat puzzled. Although she also liked Bronya's quad-turbo hairstyle, she had thought about making some changes, but... she failed. She found that other hairstyles made her feel extremely awkward and uncomfortable, but after switching back to her original quad-turbo hairstyle, she felt instantly refreshed.

So she never changed her hairstyle again.

Theresa looked at Bronya in front of her and spoke in shock. Fu Hua pushed up her red-rimmed glasses and said, "Principal Theresa, calm down. She has no hostility. I brought her here. She also hopes to join St. Freya Academy."

"This... Fu Hua, you...."

Theresa was still stammering in shock, unable to speak. Bronya sighed slightly, "Really, it's not that serious... It's only been a year since we last met, is it really necessary to be so shocked?"

Bronya then pulled out a powerful weapon, a lollipop shaped like a homu, and slammed it on the table, saying, "Here, this is a little gift for you."

Theresa instantly reached out and snatched the lollipop from the table. "I...I won't thank you for this, you Herrscher!"

She doesn't remember Theresa having a tsundere personality... Is this a new change because of her?

After calming down, Theresa took a few deep breaths, unwrapped the Houmu lollipop in her hand, put it in her mouth, and said, "So, what is your purpose in coming to St. Freya Academy? Herrscher."

"Hmm... While I don't mind being called a Herrscher, I do have my own name. I'm Bronya. Nice to meet you, Headmistress Theresa."

Bronya was also a little excited to see Theresa. After all, she had been influenced by the memories and emotions of Spain for so many years. Now, she looked at Theresa as if she were seeing a family member. The smile on her face made Theresa stunned. "You said you are... Bronya?"

At this moment, Fu Hua stepped forward to explain Bronya's origins, because she was afraid that Bronya's overly technical spells would be incomprehensible to Theresa.

After a brief explanation, Theresa was shocked.

"The future...? A time machine? Time travel? Or...time reversal?"

"No, it's actually a parallel world. In our world, there is no Honkai. Although the future is different, many of our experiences in both worlds are similar."

Bronya added, "Anyway, my purpose in coming to the academy was to learn martial arts from the class monitor, but the class monitor wanted me to stay at St. Freya Academy, so I came here instead."

Where were you before?

Theresa naturally has her own intelligence network. She knows all about Bronya's various attempts to thwart Schicksal. Facing such a powerful Herrscher who can defeat Durandal... she really doesn't dare to let her stay here.

"Paradise of the Past, a place left over from a previous civilization, class monitor... Waaaaah!"

Before Bronya could finish speaking, Fu Hua covered her mouth and gave her a warning look. Bronya nodded, and Fu Hua then released her. "Anyway, it's a very magical place!"

Theresa stared at Bronya suspiciously. "You...you're really just here to learn?"

"Of course, I really just..."

"Auntie! We're in! Hey! You're...you're Bronya's mom!"

Before Bronya could finish speaking, the door behind her was suddenly flung open, accompanied by that familiar voice and absurd tone. Bronya opened her right hand, and blue construct energy condensed above Kiana's head. Her blue fist slammed down, knocking Kiana to the ground.

"Kiana, you're such an idiot! Where did you get the right to say that? Do you know the consequences of spreading rumors?"

Bronya's familiar tone and voice gave Kiana the feeling that Bronya was lecturing her. Kiana rubbed her head and got up from the ground.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... How... how did you get here?"

Bronya stared coldly at Kiana, making Kiana feel somewhat frightened. Kiana awkwardly hid behind Mei, while Bronya stepped forward, looking up to meet Bronya's gaze. Looking into Bronya's grey eyes, Bronya felt a pang of emotion...

"You...are you really Bronya's biological mother?"

Bronya was utterly speechless... She looked at the duck in front of her with a complicated expression, reached out and gently rubbed the duck's head, saying, "Stay away from that paramecium in the future. I don't want you to become as stupid as that prehistoric creature."

"Hey! What do you mean?! What do you mean by 'like prehistoric creatures'?! I'm smart enough to be anything! Ouch!"

Kiana finished speaking and received another punch on the head. "Shut up, you paramecium! It's not your turn to speak now!"

Bronya's assertiveness caused Kiana to sulk behind Mei. Bronya, who was still staring at her with a probing gaze, turned around and said, "Is there a private room? Bronya wants to talk to her other self."

"Ah... there's a lounge to the right."

Knowing that the two wanted to have a serious talk, Theresa offered them her usual spot for resting and relaxing. Bronya took Bronya's hand and walked into the adjacent lounge. After Bronya left, Kiana asked again, "Auntie, isn't that her Herrscher? Why is she here?"

"Do you need me to beat her to a pulp?"

"Kiana, we can't beat her..."

Mei, who knew the difference in strength between herself and Bronya, tried to dissuade her, fearing that Kiana would be the one getting beaten up instead of Bronya.

Kiana pouted slightly, a little annoyed. "Hmm... but how will I know if I don't try?"

"Alright, Kiana, that... um... Herrscher, the Herrscher will also be joining our St. Freya Academy. If you want to get practical training in the future, you'll have plenty of opportunities."

Kiana's expression froze. "Eh! Really? But isn't she a Herrscher?"

"That's right, she is indeed a Herrscher, and a Herrscher of Reason at that. If we include the leader of Anti-Entropy, there are now two Herrschers of Reason in the world."

Fu Hua explained from the side, "Moreover, although she is a Herrscher, she does not have the hatred and resentment towards human civilization that the Herrschers in history have. She said that she is on the side of humanity, and her appearance will not cause any Honkai outbreak. This is very different from the Herrscher we know."

"Headmistress Theresa, perhaps we can find a way to control the Herrscher's power through her. If that happens..."

Fu Hua looked at Mei, the meaning of her words was self-evident. Mei lowered her head, if possible... could she really control the Herrscher power within her body?

Is she also capable of becoming as powerful as the other person?

Chapter 22: Making Up a Story in a Serious Way

"Please sit down. Actually, I've been waiting to meet you for a long time. I've been thinking about what the scene should be like when we meet, and what I should say, but now... I think it's better if you ask me yourself."

"Now, ask away. You can ask any questions you have, and I will answer them to the best of my ability."

Bronya placed a glass of milk in front of Bronya, who looked up and stared at Bronya's pert chest, momentarily stunned. Finally, he looked up and asked, "Why... do you look just like Bronya?"

"Because I am you, I am another version of you from the ordinary world, so we look the same."

Bronya calmly replied, and Bronya tilted her head. "Mmm...so cute! Damn it! What's with this urge to hug and cuddle her...? No, control yourself, Bronya!"

Bronya tried to calm herself down and continued, "My world is completely different from this world. In our world, the country is also called Shenzhou. However, I was not born in the former Soviet Union, but in Shenzhou. Mei, Kiana, Principal Theresa, and Teacher Himeko were all born in Shenzhou."

“We also went to the same school called St. Freya Academy from junior high to high school, and then graduated from university. It’s just that I went down a path that they could never reach.”

"But your personality is completely different from Bronya's."

Bronya clearly sensed the difference between herself and Bronya, a huge difference in personality and expression. Bronya could laugh and show all sorts of expressions, but she couldn't.

“I’ve made it very clear that our experiences are different. I haven’t experienced your life as a mercenary of the Ural Silver Wolves, nor have I gone through any quantum experiments. So, although we may look similar, we are fundamentally different.”

Bronya fell silent... Bronya reached out and ruffled Bronya's hair, saying, "Don't think about these things. I came here mainly to learn something from the class monitor, and... I have some news to tell you."

Bronya silently took a book that looked like a diary from her hands, placed it on the table, and then slowly pushed it towards her. The book's cover, with its brown, antique style, surprised Bronya, but what attracted her attention even more was the deep blue butterfly on the cover...
