K424 of the Collapse World

"Bronya Zajcek and Xi'er Fule'ai, even though they are just children, perhaps even your A-rank Valkyries are no match for them."

Following Shirley's words, Jizi subconsciously looked at the two little girls sitting at the edge. When she saw Xi'er, her pupils shrank and she looked up in disbelief, with surprise in her eyes that could not be concealed at all. She remembered very clearly that when she encountered the third Herrscher Raiden Mei in Changkong City, it was this girl who was suspected to be a high-level assassin who fought with the third Herrscher...

(So... this girl is also a member of Anti-Entropy? In that case, that battle was also under the control of Anti-Entropy?! How big is the power of these guys...?)

Noticing Jizi's gaze, Xier looked back at Jizi with some concern, and their eyes intertwined. Compared with Jizi's embarrassment and lowering her head, Xier had already forgotten the brief encounter with Jizi before. Therefore, looking at the red-haired woman in front of her, she just tilted her head in confusion and didn't say anything.

"Finally, these two are Asakura Miyuki and Yaezakura. Ms. Theresa, you have met them before, so I don't need to introduce them any further, right?"

As Shilis spoke, she glanced at Jiuxiao who was silent beside her, and did not immediately reveal her true identity. Instead, she smiled at Theresa, who had a complicated expression. Then she slowly walked in front of Kiana and rubbed the silver-haired girl's head in front of Theresa.

"Kiana is my sister, and now she is also a member of Anti-Entropy. Okay, Ms. Theresa, do you have any questions about our identities?"

Hearing this, Theresa shook her head. Although she looked a little absent-minded, she still thought about it seriously and then raised her head.

"No more... I just want to know what you meant by what you said before? Do you want to bury the hatchet? Even if Kiana stands on your side... I don't think our Far East branch will swallow this so easily!"

"Hmph... Do you still think that the invasion was really led by us? To be honest, in yesterday's invasion, the anti-entropy radicals dispatched more than 500 mechas. This scale of combat power is enough to break through the defense of your Far East Branch in one fell swoop in a surprise attack. Even Hyperion might not have time to take off..."

"Five hundred? How is that possible... The anti-entropy mechas we observed with the help of Hyperion and the reinforcements from the American branch only destroyed a little over a hundred of them..."

"But that's the fact. Those mecha troops have long been ambushed in all directions of the Far East Branch, preparing to launch a siege attack on St. Freya Academy. If we don't intervene, do you think that with your loose security measures, you can stop these more than 500 anti-entropy mechas, Ms. Theresa?"

Hillis continued to speak, looking at Theresa's surprised expression with satisfaction. In just a few dozen minutes, she had seen Theresa show this expression many times. It must be said that since she knew Theresa inside and out, it was still very interesting to see Theresa's shocked expression.

"Your Hyperion was only attacking a stronger force among the Anti-Entropy main force. If we hadn't secretly taken out those raiding forces, St. Freya's Academy would have been breached last night."

"What did you say?! Why...? Aren't you also members of Anti-Entropy? Why are you doing this?"

At this moment, Theresa seemed to have given up thinking, and every word she said was a question. This made Hillis feel a little strange. Although Theresa often failed to act, she was also a smart person with considerable means. It was not that she had not figured out what was going on at this point, right?

"The leader of the Far East Branch's attack plan this time is Cocolia, the executor of the Anti-Entropy Radicals. The attack team is also composed of members of the Radicals and has nothing to do with us conservatives... Rather, we are firmly opposed to the Radicals' actions this time."

"..."

"Oh, Ms. Theresa, you probably don't know. Anti-Entropy is generally divided into two factions. One is the radical faction led by Cocolia, and the other is the conservative faction led by us. As for the fundamental concepts of the two factions, I cannot explain them in detail for the sake of keeping the organization confidential, but I can guarantee that we conservatives are definitely not the enemy of your Far East Branch... Hey, Ms. Theresa, are you listening?"

Seeing Theresa's absent-minded look, Hillis couldn't help but ask. However, after seeing the direction of Theresa's eyes, Hillis immediately

Now I understand why this white-haired girl kept losing focus during the meeting...

"Hey~ Theresa, is Kiana really that cute? You've been secretly looking at her, do you have some weird habit?"

"Eh?!"

Theresa exclaimed and turned her head away in embarrassment. It was obvious to Hillis that whenever Theresa had the chance, she would secretly look at Kiana, who was sitting not far behind her, and she looked absent-minded. If she hadn't been distracted by Hillis's words, I'm afraid her saliva would have dripped...

"Well...I, I didn't! I was just..."

Just as Theresa was about to say something, Kiana, who was sitting in the back, stood up calmly and walked towards the door.

"Sister Shilis, I feel a little stuffy. I'm going to go out and get some fresh air."

As she spoke, Kiana didn't care at all that this was the territory of the Far East Branch, and she just left the room in front of Theresa.

Shirley looked at Kiana's back and shrugged.

"Well, excuse me now. Can you let Mr. Raiden Ryoma take charge of the explanation of anti-entropy? That way, you can calm down, right, Principal Theresa?"

Having said that, Shiris turned around and followed Kiana out of the room. Just as Jizi was about to say something, the girl's voice came from the corridor.

"Don't worry about us doing anything weird. There are surveillance cameras in this building. We won't go too far. That's it..."

As the girl's voice gradually faded away, Theresa slowly raised her head and looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of her, the corners of her mouth twitching.

The next moment, Thunder Ryuma, who was sitting side by side with Tesla, stood up and spoke, breaking the silence in the room.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Theresa, Ms. Muliangta. My name is Raiden Ryoma, and I am grateful for your care for my daughter Mei..."

303 A Little Encounter

"Kiana, please walk slower, wait for me..."

In the academic building of St. Freya Academy, a silver-haired girl with double braids walked quickly forward, and Shiris followed behind her in a hurry, looking a little anxious.

Finally, feeling that something was wrong, Shirley quickened her pace and stopped Kiana who was walking forward.

"Kiana? Did Theresa make you angry about what just happened?"

"No."

"This... is obviously anger. Well, this is also my fault. I didn't expect that you would be so disgusted with Theresa. Sorry..."

As Shirley said this, she held Kiana's hand tightly, fearing that the girl would leave without looking back again. However, Kiana didn't seem to have any intention of moving forward, so she just stood there, looking at the girl in front of her calmly.

"I'm not angry... Sister Shilis, I don't hate that dwarf that much. I just want to be alone for a while."

Kiana said, lowering her head slightly.

"But I am a little worried... From what you said before, it seemed as if you were going to leave by yourself and leave me to Theresa... But, this is probably my illusion. You won't leave me, right? Sister Shirley?"

Having said this, Kiana raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her with a fluctuating gaze. Silis was silent for a moment, with a peaceful smile on her face.

"That's right, I won't leave Kiana. I will stay with you until the last moment..."

"Yes! I knew... Sister Shiris would never leave me! But, let's not talk about the last moment. We who have completely mastered the Honkai energy have already achieved immortality in a sense, right?"

"That's true... But forget about immortality. No matter how long your life is, there will definitely be a day when it ends. But that's all in the future. And right now, am I not right beside you?"

Shaking her head gently, Shiris held Kiana's hand and moved closer to the silver-haired girl.

"Okay~ Stop thinking about those useless things. Since you don't like the atmosphere in the conference room, I'll walk around with you. It's a good opportunity for us to see what interesting things there are in the Academic Affairs Building of St. Freya Academy."

"But, I want to be alone for a while..."

“Hmm? But didn’t you just say, Kiana, that you wanted to stay with me forever? Could it be that you’re tired of me as your sister so quickly? Oh, oh, oh, oh~…”

"Okay, okay, Sister Shilis, please don't make such embarrassing noises! Um... I'll go with you..."

"Well, that's settled. But remember not to go to those blind spots of surveillance. After all, we are still enemies with the Far East Branch, so try not to arouse unnecessary suspicion."

“Can’t go to prison

"The blind spot of the control? Then we can't even go to the toilet?"

"Well...if you really want to go to the bathroom, you can probably ask Theresa to go with you? It won't be a problem if the principal is around..."

"Absolutely not!"

"What? Captain Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple has been discharged from the hospital?"

In the infirmary of St. Freya Academy, the silver-haired girl looked at the doctor on duty in front of her with some surprise and repeated the question as if to confirm.

"Hey, is she really out of the hospital? Or is there some reason why we can't visit her?"

"Yes, I remember that the captain's injury was not serious, but she can't recover so quickly, right? It's been less than a day. Where could she go?"

Following Kiana, Mei also asked in a strange tone. She had accidentally seen that the young captain was carried back by the Valkyries on a stretcher, and the expressions on the faces of the Valkyries carrying the stretcher were very strange. Mei guessed that it might be because Captain Jiuxiao's injury was not optimistic...

Facing the two girls' questions, the mature female doctor smiled and shook her head. She had a good impression of the two Valkyrie trainees who came to visit the new captain.

"Don't worry, little girls, there's no need for me to lie to you, right? As for Lady Jiuxiao, although her broken legs have affected her mobility, she has indeed left on crutches. She should be with Principal Theresa now, right? I heard before that she is going to attend a meeting with the principal..."

"I see. I see... Thank you, doctor! Mei, let's go find Theresa. The beautiful girl captain must be there!"

"Eh? Kiana, this isn't good, is it? The school principal and the captain should be in a meeting right now, right?"

"What's the matter? We are also part of Saint Freya. If there is anything about the academy, let us get involved together. Maybe we can help them!"

"this......"

"Okay, let's go together, Mei. We're free now anyway. Well, the destination has been changed to... Theresa's office!"

Saint Freya, the principal's office...

"That's pretty much it, little principal. Raiden Ryoma has just explained it very clearly. There is no unity within the Anti-Entropy Organization. What those radicals who like to stir up trouble do has nothing to do with us. It's better to say that it was because of our secret help that your Far East Branch survived this crisis!"

Tesla crossed her legs and slumped down in the chair. She looked at Theresa, who remained silent, with a smug look on her face, seeming to appreciate the girl's unbelievable expression.

"But instead of thanking us for our reinforcements, you even captured my Aiyin! What did you do to her? Have you forgotten who taught you to use the hunting mode of Judas's Oath?"

Tesla continued, and after hearing this, Theresa was slightly startled, and immediately recalled a scene in which she cooperated with the Anti-Entropy Organization during the second collapse more than a decade ago...

"Ms. Theresa, I have injected Houkai energy into Judas's Oath. Please activate Judas's hunting mode to lock on to the target..."

"It's okay, it's not difficult. The soul steel that makes up the Divine Key can change by sensing the user's thoughts. All you have to do is think about tracking the enemy in your mind..."

303 A Little Encounter >>

"Eh?! She is indeed Dr. Einstein! In that case... the Anti-Entropy member who cooperated with us during the Second Honkai Impact more than ten years ago was you...?"

The scene in her mind finally overlapped with the memory of the second collapse, and Theresa couldn't help but exclaimed. In response, Tesla glanced at her with disdain and sighed softly.

"You're so slow... You're not even as old as me and Ain, but your memory is already this bad? You're right. We did cooperate during the Second Honkai Impact, but it was just me, Ain, and our leader. Mr. Raiden Ryoma was not involved."

Tesla said, looking proudly at Theresa who was deep in thought, then he stood up and walked directly in front of her.

"So, can you trust us now, dear Principal Theresa?"

"I... I don't know. However, I believe that what you said is true. Thank you for protecting the students of Saint Freya Academy. By the way, our Captain Houraiji dispatched warships to meet the enemy and asked the Valkyries from the South American branch to reinforce the battle. Was it also because of the news you spread?"

Suddenly she remembered something and glanced at Jiuxiao who was sitting silently beside her.

He turned to Tesla and asked.

"I guess so... But there is a mistake. Let me tell you, the Valkyrie that Captain Jiuxiao has found is not the Valkyrie from the South American branch, but the Valkyrie from the North American branch~"

After hearing Tesla's answer, Theresa was stunned, and her facial expression immediately became shocked.

"North American branch...? Hey! Hasn't the North American branch been..."

Theresa's eyes widened. In her impression, the Destiny Organization had no branch in North America. It was said that the North American branch that was once there had separated from Destiny fifty years ago and established a new organization...

The name of that organization is Anti-Entropy.

“Could it be…?”

Theresa turned her head stiffly, looked at Jiuxiao who looked calm, then looked at Tesla who looked playful, and immediately figured out what was going on...

"Captain Jiuxiao...! Could it be that you have colluded with the Anti-Entropy Organization before?!"

"Hehe...you are wrong! I, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, am not simply colluding with the Anti-Entropy Organization! In fact, from the very beginning, I have been a member of the Anti-Entropy Organization!"

Seeing that it was finally his turn to perform, Jiu Xiao excitedly stood up by grabbing the armrest of the chair.

"But - yes -! Whether it is the identity of an Anti-Entropy member or the identity of the Captain of Destiny, it is just one of my many fake identities. My real identity is not only a high-level member of the Anti-Entropy Organization, but also a guard of the Chosen One, Lady Shilis, and I am also appointed by the gods of this collapsed world..."

"Ms. Jiuxiao, if you keep talking nonsense, you won't get your salary this month."

Suddenly, as the light sound of Thunder Dragon Horse came from the side, Jiuxiao immediately became quiet and touched his head with an embarrassed look on his face.

"I'm sorry... Mr. President, I know I was wrong. I was just too excited just now. Please don't deduct my salary... Woohoo!"

Before she finished speaking, Jiu Xiao screamed and lost her balance and fell down. In her panic just now, she didn't realize that her injured leg was not strong enough to support her standing...

"Be careful...! Eh?! Uwaa ...

Theresa was quick to catch Jiuxiao who was about to fall. However, Theresa forgot that she was sitting on the edge of the desk. Normally, it would be easy for Theresa to lift ten Jiuxiao. But now, in a sitting position, her petite body was immediately dragged down by Jiuxiao and fell to the ground, falling into a ball.

Theresa fell directly on Jiuxiao and then rolled off his back. Although she didn't feel any pain, her neat nun's dress became messy.

"Hmm..."

Theresa raised her head and looked at the pairs of eyes staring at her. She was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately realized that her dignity as the principal had been lost after such a thing happened. The next moment, she blushed and buried her head in her arms.

Seeing this, there was a faint snickering among the members of Anti-Entropy, and even Thunder Ryoma showed a knowing smile. He was not very familiar with Theresa, but now he felt that this silly and cute white-haired loli seemed quite cute...

Tesla also looked at Theresa with blushing cheeks. When Theresa made that lovely cry, she inexplicably had a strange feeling of heartbeat.

(This damn Theresa...! Why didn't I realize she's so cute before! Fortunately, Shirley isn't here, or else she would have rushed over and called her sister...)

Theresa didn't know that this unexpected embarrassment earned her the goodwill of the Anti-Entropy members present. She was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Ji Zi, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but hold her forehead. She was concentrating on listening to Tesla's explanation of the composition of Anti-Entropy and fell into deep thought. So she didn't have time to save the school principal beside her and saw this embarrassing scene.

(What just happened? Theresa, what’s going on?)

Jizi's mouth twitched as she silently stared at the principal lying on the ground, not knowing whether she should reach out and help her up...

Theresa finally bit her lip and slowly got up. She patted the dust off her body with all her strength and didn't dare to look at the expressions of the people in front of her. The next moment, she was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, when a heavy bang suddenly came from the far corridor outside the door!

"This is......?!"

Theresa was startled and had no time to think about the embarrassing thing that happened just now. She quickly activated the built-in terminal in the office and called up the overall surveillance of this floor.

Zooming in on the scene of the incident, Theresa's pupils shrank involuntarily, and a gloom appeared in her eyes.

"This...! Why

They would suddenly come here? Damn it, at this time! This is really...unexpected trouble!"
