Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

But this distress only lasted for a moment, and Mei Raiden cheered up in the blink of an eye.

Although the stability of the power output is indeed not high, Raiden Mei believes that her sword swinging should be quite skilled.

But now it only gets a B and C+ rating...

This means that in Aunt Ellie's eyes, her swordsmanship still has a lot of room for improvement.

"That's good." Mei Raiden placed her hand on her heart, a happy smile on her face.

----

"Oh~ It looks like things are getting better." Seeing Mei Raiden's reaction from a distance, Ellie nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, the so-called [Hermit Training System] is not just a joke of Ellie.

It has a real function... well, to a certain extent.

In addition to the [Daily Tasks] that Ellie customized for Mei Raiden, the most important thing is that Ellie used the [Power of Death] to transform Mei Raiden's body to a certain extent.

Well... to put it simply, it is to fine-tune the 'reward mechanism' of Raiden Mei's body.

When Mei Raiden completes the so-called "mission", in addition to the sense of accomplishment of completing the task, she will also secrete more dopamine under the influence of Ellie's power.

This extra dopamine will not be noticed by Raiden Mei herself, but the emotions brought by dopamine will also affect Raiden Mei, making her feel more joyful about "completing the task".

Therefore, whether it is the pursuit of joy or the pursuit of a sense of accomplishment... these will make Raiden Mei feel the 'joy of training'.

As the saying goes, 'interest is the best teacher'.

Training itself is a painful thing. After all, not everyone is like Yulandel, who can intuitively feel his or her growing strength.

If training reaches a bottleneck, it is easy to make people feel powerless, which is just like the so-called "inner demon" in many novels.

This is the case with Mei Raiden recently. Although it is far from the point where she would develop mental demons, the inability to make progress mixed with the pain and irritability of persisting in training ultimately created tremendous pressure on Mei Raiden.

Of course, what ultimately made Mei Raiden happy was that she had found a way to become stronger, which was what Mei Raiden needed most.

"Come on, Mei~" A smile appeared on the corner of Ellie's mouth. "Then the next one is Kiana."

----

"Ah~" Kiana, who was using her power to make the necessary fine-tuning to the experimental subject, suddenly felt a chill piercing her spine.

This sudden shudder made Kiana tremble all over, and she even tightened her legs.

The excessive power instantly transformed the experimental subject into a monster, and the subject's genes and cells went into chaos in an instant.

"What's going on?" Kiana asked, puzzled, punching her lower back with her fist, like an elderly person with a sprained back.

At the same time, she also used her power to destroy the experimental subject.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that something was wrong with Kiana, the secretary came up to her and asked.

"It's nothing. I just felt a little unwell." Kiana shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"!" As soon as Kiana finished speaking, almost instantly, all the staff in the laboratory looked at Kiana.

"What are you doing? Are you looking for a fight?" Kiana clenched her fists and waved at the people who were looking at her.

"Uh..." The staff members all shrank their necks and stopped talking.

In fact, they have been together for such a long time, and although Kiana has the title of "Stigma Awakener", they, the staff members, are not fools.

Moreover, Kiana herself did not deliberately conceal her identity as a Herrscher, and everyone knew it.

emmm...In fact, the staff are not very interested in Kiana's body.

But if given the chance, they wouldn't mind digging out some experimental data from Kiana.

"Humph." Looking at this group of rebellious guys, Kiana snorted. "We really deserve to be the Far East Branch."

It is very common for the lower class to overthrow the upper class.

In fact, the predecessor of 'St. Freya Academy' is 'Senmin Far East Branch'.

However, now the 'Sen Ming Far East Branch' has been merged into the 'Saint Freya Academy', which means...it is actually responsible for training Valkyries and guarding part of Southeast Asia at the same time.

"Ha..." Kiana sighed deeply, then stretched out her hand and pressed it on the incubator, and began to output power again.

In a place where Kiana couldn't see or sense, Ellie was quietly watching Kiana working.

"This kid is amazing... This level of 'power output stability' can definitely be rated as an S-level." Ellie secretly observed Kiana, then nodded with great satisfaction.

In fact, the Kaslana family itself is not very good at such precise things, it all started with Kevin.

And Kiana's current control ability can be said to be the best among all the 'K-423' that Ellie has seen.

But...the better Kiana performs, the more distressed Ellie feels.

After all, Kiana's personality is not suitable for doing such precise things. For precise things, the effort she needs to put in is even two or three times that of other Herrschers.

What's more, each of Kiana's powers is difficult to control.

[Power of Fire] is violent in nature, and it is very difficult to maintain its output.

The computing power required for [Power of the Void] is very high, because Kiana is not a native Herrscher like Sirin.

Although [Power of Death] would be better, Kiana's current job requires her to control the output of Honkai energy very stably.

This is also the origin of Kiana's current control.

'There's really no way...' Mei Raiden's problem is obvious, and she's young and a little bit of a middle school student, so it's easy to solve it.

But Kiana is different. She knows what she is doing and what she wants to do...but she is too eager and doesn't know what she is busy with...

Anxiety disorder is serious!

"Let's observe for another two days... I need to understand Kiana's situation better."

Any problem can only be solved by treating the symptoms, and although Kiana's "symptoms" are very obvious now, it is still unclear what caused these symptoms.

----

While Kiana was at work, a lot of people gathered in a secret space.

The elegant and serious blue-haired man, the impatient red-haired 'girl', the blue-haired girl with a tired face who looks like she's about to fall asleep...

Because of the different development of the [Second Sequence Great Collapse], the development of anti-entropy is also completely different.

Because the anti-entropy leader is more inclined to be dovish, the living environment of the hawks will naturally become worse.

And more importantly, Anti-Entropy is different from Destiny. The organizational structure of Anti-Entropy is an "alliance". Although the leader of the alliance has considerable power, he cannot use it at will.

If you are too biased, it will cause internal conflicts.

So how to solve the internal balance is a very troublesome thing in itself...and Walter doesn't seem to be cut out for it.

"The content of this meeting will continue from the last one." Seeing that everyone was present, Walter began his speech.

In fact, this is their third gathering in recent times.

Three weeks ago, Kiana found Walter and put forward her "request".

And the requirement is to let Anti-Entropy provide valuable scientific researchers.

This is a very, very unreasonable request, and can be said to be extremely excessive.

If this request was made by Otto himself, they would have rejected it without hesitation.

Although Anti-Entropy's size can be described as an ant when facing Destiny, Anti-Entropy's peculiar system of breaking the whole into parts allows Anti-Entropy to survive the crushing of Destiny.

But... this time it was Kiana who made the request to Anti-Entropy, a completely different 'force' than Otto, even though they both belonged to the same destiny.

First of all, Kiana is indeed not as insidious as Otto. If you cooperate with Kiana, there will be no danger at least.

Secondly, Kiana possesses a military force far superior to Otto, enough to crush the entire world single-handedly. The fact that Kiana is not attacking them now is enough to show Kiana's sincerity in cooperating.

Finally, the cooperation proposed by Kiana is indeed an act of great contribution to the whole world.

It’s just that…although the reasons are sufficient, the inner choice is another matter.

Although Kiana is completely different from Otto, she is still the person of destiny in the end.

Cooperating with people from destiny is a very uncomfortable thing for the two doctors, Lobster Head and Chicken Coop Head.

But what Qiana cares about most are Tesla and Einstein.

The others are just icing on the cake.

"I vote in favor of cooperation." The first to vote was Raiden Ryoma.

After all, Raiden Ryuma is the executor who has dealt with Kiana for the longest time in the entire Anti-Entropy. At the same time, he is also the person who has received the most favors from Kiana in the Anti-Entropy.

Her wife was able to save her life with the help of Kiana, and her daughter is now with Kiana.

Therefore, in the three meetings of Lei Dian Long Ma, all of them voted in favor.

When Raiden Ryoma voted in favor, the two hawkish executors voted against it without hesitation.

They all have a grudge against destiny, and therefore firmly oppose anything related to destiny.

"Ain, what do you think?" Tesla asked Einstein who was not far away from him.

In fact, as the leader of the alliance, Walter's vote is the least important.

When he initiated this meeting, it proved that Walter could not make a decision, so he convened the executors to discuss it.

There were five executors present, and only Tesla and Einstein did not vote.

In other words, the choices they make will determine whether they will cooperate or refuse.

"I think there is no point in continuing this discussion," Einstein said after a brief pause.

So far, three discussions have taken place and three weeks have passed.

If we continue to drag it out, it would be somewhat impolite.

And...the fact that Kiana was able to delay them for so long is enough to prove a lot of things.

"That is to say..." Tesla understood what Einstein meant. "In that case, I vote in favor."

Kiana is a Herrscher who possesses the [Power of Death] and [Key of Consciousness - Yu Duchen]... She must have the ability to make them cooperate obediently. Currently, she has given them enough respect...

After all, for a strong person, waiting is already a sign of respect.

"You actually agree?" The hawkish executor looked at Tesla, seeming a little incredulous.

After all, they all knew that the people they really wanted to cooperate with were Tesla and Einstein, and the others didn't matter at all.

Hawks advocate fighting against destiny, and although Tesla and Einstein are doves, because of their uniqueness, the hawks' choice is actually inclined to protect them.

Unexpectedly, Tesla, a veteran and the most dangerous one, also voted in favor.

Moreover, Tesla's attitude also represented Einstein's attitude, so this discussion was considered to be over, and the result was that he agreed to cooperate with Tianming.

...

......

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein." After the meeting ended and the hawkish executors left, Walter no longer maintained his dignity as the leader and sat down in a chair in a somewhat decadent manner.

No, it’s not so much decadence as it is a bit powerless.

The [Hermit of Reason Core] inherited from Joyce gave him great power, but this power was only "relatively strong".

He was unable to truly unleash the full power of this core, nor could he use this power to protect the people he wanted to protect.

In a previous transaction with Kiana, Kiana completely repaired and "upgraded" Walter.

In other words, Walter now actually has the qualifications to fully synchronize the core...but he has yet to achieve [Metamorphosis].

"It's not that hard or not." Einstein said calmly. "That Kiana Atagina is relatively familiar to us."

"The previous few small collaborations all had relatively pleasant results."

Through daily analysis of Kiana, they came to the conclusion that...

Kiana seems to use overt tactics to a certain extent, but she is not like Otto.

To put it simply...Kiana's words are mostly a means of intimidation, and she won't actually do anything.

Most of the words she said to coerce were just to increase her deterrent power, making people unsure whether she would really take action.

But Otto is different. If he fails to achieve his goal, he will really take action.
