K424 of the Collapse World

Whenever he thought of this, the young man felt an irrepressible rage rising up. Although he didn't know what the Kerry executive was going to do, when he heard the question, he gave a decisive answer.

"I see... I understand. There are actually things like this in lower-level institutions... Oh, by the way, in ordinary people's schools, similar situations seem to be called 'bullying'... I see, that's it. I've learned something new."

485 Selfish Struggle >>

Kerry chuckled, his tone slightly colder. Looking at the C-11 personnel's work number displayed on the terminal, a slightly cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Although I don't know how Lady Theresa and Mr. Thunder Malone will deal with such a matter, I'm sure that those big shots won't know about these 'small things' happening in the lower classes. In that case, let me do it for you..."

Listening to Kerry's voice which seemed like he was talking to himself, the young man opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Is this young executive planning to...

"N412 studio, equipment inspectors numbered T0044 to T0046, are your team members, right? Well... Anti-Entropy is not a charity organization. They are brave enough to be lazy and slack off here. In this case, let's transfer them to work at the outpost inspection station outside. Let's see if these guys who dare to be parasites in the armed organization have the courage to face the Honkai beasts?"

"this......"

It took the young man a while to react after hearing Kerry's voice. Mr. Kerry...was he trying to defend himself?

"Now, you are the only member of the n412 team, but don't worry, the vacancy in the team will be filled soon. I will arrange for members of other teams to work with you in the near future."

"..."

The young man did not expect that the executive would really go to great lengths for such a "small matter". Even in colleges and universities, teachers turn a blind eye to similar bullying phenomena, but here...

"Okay, Mr. Suzuki, let's end this conversation here."

Kerry stretched himself and turned off the terminal screen. On the other side, the young man was still staring blankly at the blue-haired young man who looked like a young girl, with mixed feelings in his heart. The act of concealing Fenrir's information just now was a betrayal, which became more and more unbearable in his heart.

The injustice he had suffered had come to an end, and those who had caused it had received the punishment they deserved. In that case, what reason did he have to "trade" with the red wolf?

"..."

"Hmm? What's up, Mr. Suzuki? Anything else?"

Looking at his hesitant expression, he didn't stand up and leave.

The young man who opened the room, Kerry's eyes trembled slightly, and then he asked quietly without any expression. When he heard his voice, the young man raised his head as if he had made a decision.

"Mr. Kerry, I..."

He opened his mouth, but just as he was about to confess, he hesitated again. Then, the wolf-eared girl's words, like a spell, echoed in her mind again.

"A weakling like you, who looks and feels the same inside and out, deserves to be at the bottom no matter what environment you are in. Unless you can get a tiny opportunity..."

For this little bit of kindness, do I really want to give up this hard-won "opportunity"? If I give up this time, maybe there won't be a second chance in my life...

"...Mr. Kerry, thank you."

Under Kerry's subtle gaze, the young man's words that he had been preparing for a long time finally came out as a thank you. However, he did not say much, but just smiled politely and waved his hand.

"You're welcome, Mr. Suzuki."

The young man stood up, bowed again, and then turned around and walked towards the door. The moment he turned his back to Kerry, hesitation and struggle flashed in his black pupils, which could no longer be concealed.

What should I do?

"Diana, are you really not going to go back to class?"

At the fountain square of St. Freya Academy, Silis looked at the silver-haired girl who had been following her from beginning to end and couldn't help asking. In response, the latter held the back of her head nonchalantly and yawned lightly.

"Oh~ Sister Shilis, I've already skipped class. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to go back now? Besides, today's morning class is dual-wielding shooting theory. Is it necessary for me to take this class? In terms of the skills of using dual guns, except for my dad, who else in this academy can compare with me?"

"Dual wielding? Then who is your substitute teacher?"

"Of course it's Dad~~ And if he knows that I ran out to pick up Sister Shirley, he will definitely not mark me as absent. So, I will accompany you all day today~ By the way, where are you planning to go, Sister Shirley?"

Crossing the path beside the pond, Shirley sighed softly. The girl's reckless attitude made her give up trying to persuade her. However, skipping the class that her father was teaching seemed like a wonderful experience.

Since Diana herself doesn't care, let her be happy. With Siegfried's carefree personality, he probably wouldn't mind his daughter skipping his classes.

"Your birthday is still a few days away. I plan to take care of things in the Far East first, and I may need to go back to the ME company. But before that, I should say hello to everyone first, right?"

Shirley spoke softly, looking at the Valkyrie dormitory building near the grove not far away, and her mood relaxed for the first time in a long time.

"Well, Miss Diana Kaslana, the Skipping Valkyrie, since you insist on coming with me, then be my guide. Let me think... Mei and Bronya should be in class at this time, so where is your sister, Kiana?"

"Sister Kiana, um...according to her usual routine, she should be..."

Looking at the girl who was thinking with her head down, Shirley casually looked around the scenery around Saint Freya. After eight o'clock in the morning, Saint Freya Academy had already started morning classes. At this time, it was rare to see Valkyries wandering around the square. Most of the scattered passers-by were teachers and school workers of Saint Freya. At this time, Shirley and Diana were both wearing Valkyrie student uniforms. It seemed a bit strange for the two girls who looked like students to walk in the academy square at this time.

Suddenly, a familiar figure in a green coat entered Hillis's sight. The wavy blonde hair seemed familiar. Just as the girl was wondering why this woman who looked like a teacher looked so familiar, she turned her head quickly as if she had noticed a prying gaze, and her rose-purple pupils met Hillis's slightly confused blue pupils...

As their eyes met, Shilis couldn't help but widen her eyes and blurted out the other person's name.

"Eh?! You, you are... Cocolia?!"

486 Two people heading towards opposition

The moment her eyes met with that blonde woman's, Shiris completely froze in place.

There is no doubt that the person standing in front of her at this moment is the representative of the anti-entropy radicals, the mortal enemy of Tesla and Einstein, and the executor of the main warring party who owns the Russian land - Kokolia.

Although she is also a member of Anti-Entropy, she has been regarded as an enemy by top leaders such as Walter since she plotted to seize the position of leader. And a few years ago, she and the school principal Theresa had some complicated old grudges. And now, why did this public enemy of the Anti-Entropy Organization and St. Freya appear in Theresa's St. Freya Academy? And she looked so calm and peaceful, as if she was in her own backyard.

Walking in general...

"Cocolia...why are you here?"

"..."

Syllis tried to suppress her stunned expression, looked at the blonde woman who was also surprised, and walked over slowly. At this time, Diana, who was standing next to her, suddenly passed her and walked towards Cocolia, waving at her from a distance.

"Good morning~ Teacher Cocolia!"

teacher?

Hearing the girl next to her calling Cocolia, the shock that Shiris had just suppressed showed up again on her face. Although this was unbelievable, at this time, Shiris had basically understood what was going on...

After receiving the greeting from the silver-haired girl, Cocolia came to her senses and immediately responded.

"Well, good morning, Diana. And..."

With her signature subtle smile, Cocolia said this and turned her gaze towards another silver-haired girl next to her who was slightly shorter than Diana.

"My daughter... Miss Silis Kaslana. It seems a little inappropriate to call her by her first name, right?"

"..."

As she spoke, Cocolia also walked towards the two girls. After receiving the response, Shilis turned her head thoughtfully and found that Diana beside her did not show any doubtful expression at all, as if she had already known about the relationship between her and Cocolia.

Looking at Cocolia who had come to her, Shirley pursed her lips and shrugged, then she exhaled and her eyes became serious.

The next moment, she lifted the hem of her Valkyrie uniform with both hands and performed an exaggerated Russian aristocratic salute to Cocolia.

"Okay, dear mother... Could you please tell me why you appeared inside St. Freya's Academy? I remember that Anti-Entropy did not announce the news of the alliance with Destiny to the radical faction. So, what is your identity here?"

Saint Freya is in the Far East, and the common language is the local Japanese, but when she spoke these words, Shirley deliberately added some Russian accents, making her tone a little weird.

"hehe......"

Facing the girl's strange tone that was more mocking than respectful, Cocolia smiled with satisfaction. She raised one hand, pointed at the Destiny Badge hanging on her chest, and responded in the same strange way.

"Oh~ my dear daughter, as you can see. I am now a formal faculty member of St. Freya Academy. I have reached a settlement with the conservative Dr. Einstein on some issues, and I have temporarily left the radicals and cooperated with the conservatives as a neutral member. And now, as an expert in Honkai tactics and weapons theory, I have officially entered the academic affairs group of St. Freya. By the way, I heard that you are also a registered infirmary teacher of St. Freya? It seems that from now on, we are colleagues, my daughter..."

Diana, who was standing next to them, just listened to the inexplicable conversation between the two. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable listening to the weird conversation. She even had the urge to interrupt the conversation. However, on one side was her sister, and on the other side was her teacher, she could only try to suppress the inexplicable desire and stand by and stare blankly...

At the same time, Shirley was still looking at Cocolia with a narrow smile on her face. The moment she learned the truth, although she had already prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

Although she and Cocolia had reconciled long ago and she had told the woman the secret of the collapse, it did not mean that she would understand the situation in front of her.

What a joke! This Asian top dangerous person who had snatched the Serenity Gem and bombed the Far East Branch could actually pass the review of St. Freya Academy and become a teacher to teach the Valkyries?

And... Cocolia knew the truth about the Honkai, and her general plan. If she told all this to the others in Saint Freya...

"Regular faculty member? Mother, did you really get this position through 'regular channels'? If that's the case, I think I should take Aunt Theresa for a physical examination to see if she has any eye disease."

"Unlike you stubborn conservatives, the short headmaster is quite reasonable."

Turning a deaf ear to Hillary's sarcasm, Cocolia looked at her watch as if nothing had happened, then turned around with a smile, waved to Hillary with her back to her, and walked towards the main teaching building in front.

"The so-called formal channels are, of course, only relative. Aren't you the same in this regard? Shirley, I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, I don't intend to do anything that is thankless before the situation goes off track. After all... I don't want to become enemies with the daughter I worked so hard to find because of these. Anyway, that's about it. I have some classes to teach next, so I'll leave you for now.

Already~"

As if she had completely understood what the girl was thinking, Cocolia's words blocked the girl's questioning. Under Shiris's complicated gaze, Cocolia's figure gradually faded away.

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention... I'm not the only one who came to the Far East Branch Academy from the orphanage in Okhotsk. Once the news of your return to St. Freya spreads, that child... I'm afraid he will come to see you soon, right?"

"..."

This meaningless conversation ended just like that. The girl looked at Cocolia's back and felt her temples throbbing with pain...

"I say... Diana, when did that woman... Cocolia come here?"

"Well, about two weeks ago? I heard my aunt talk about her before. That person is Sister Shirley's adoptive mother, right? What she said just now is all true. I remember when she first came, she brought a few strange children with her... Some of them had horns and tails, and one of them looked fierce. It seems that she was the child we met when we went on an adventure in Jiuyou a few months ago..."

486 Two people heading towards opposition>>

Diana said this with some uncertainty. After hearing her words, Shiris covered her forehead in a state of collapse.

Judging from the situation, the Kokolia Orphanage in Russia has been completely relocated to St. Freya Academy, right? And what are the horns and tails? Is Kokolia doing some messy experiments on his own daughter again?

"Okay, I basically understand... Now tell me, what else happened in St. Freya's Academy during my absence? I've had enough of these continuous 'surprises'. Before you go find Kiana, tell me everything that happened recently so that I can be mentally prepared."

"Hehehe... Actually, this is the only major event that happened recently. Um, it's only within St. Freya Academy..."

"Huh?! What do you mean only within Saint Freya?"

"Uh... about this, actually in the Me Club in Changkong City, Uncle Thunder Dragon Horse and Aunt Tesla seem to be planning to use the ruins of Changkong City to build a 'war fortress' like the floating island of the Destiny headquarters. Since you left last time, Sister Shiris, they officially started this project, and currently, 30% of it has been completed..."

When the ME company expanded greatly through base construction, the underground laboratory originally built to save space has now become a major hidden danger affecting the foundation...

The headquarters of the ME company, which is surrounded by a forest of steel, naturally cannot stop expanding due to the limitation of underground space. When the new isolation institute is completed, the ME company building and its underground area, which originally served as the central area, will be completely abandoned.

However, due to the limited amount of work, it may take quite a while before that day comes...

——Didi

In the innermost layer of the laboratory c-11 area, with the sound of the electronic door being activated, the particle-state soul-simulating steel wall slowly unfolded. Behind the wall, the most secret isolation room in the laboratory containment area was revealed in front of the blue-haired young man.

Looking at the rolling particle-state soul-simulating steel, Kerry frowned slightly, clenched his right fist with a long glove as if he was a little uncomfortable, and slowly walked into the isolation room. Through the isolation layer made of glass-like crystals, he saw the red-haired girl sitting quietly on the chair reading...

"Ahhhh~ Yuno Yuno, look who's here?"

The moment Kerry stepped into the metal room, the red-haired girl with wolf ears laughed softly. Although she maintained her original posture and did not even raise her head, Kerry knew that the other party had recognized his presence through perception.

Hearing the wolf-eared girl's voice, Yuno on the other side of the isolation layer snorted and ignored the cellmate's words. Charlotte didn't say much, just gently put down the book in her hand, stood up, and looked at the figure with long blue hair. Her amber vertical pupils intertwined with Kerry's eyes.

"What a rare visitor... Little Kerry, why did you suddenly think of visiting me today? By the way, is this the second time we meet in this place?"

"Yes, long time no see...Sensei."

Compared to the open-minded attitude of the red-haired girl in the cage, Kerry standing outside seemed to be worried. Even though many years had passed, Kerry could still clearly remember that this girl rescued him from the radiation zone when he had lost all hope, and trained him to reach the level of a Herrscher now. Although the girl always assigned him and Mike some hard tasks, the tacit understanding between the two sides was gradually established, and he learned more from it.

Over the past few years, he has grown from a little boy to a sixteen-year-old young man, but this girl still looks the same as she did at the beginning, as if she will never grow old...

Even after returning to Shirley

After that, he never thought that he would meet his former teacher in this way.

"Eh... Teacher? Surprisingly... There are actually people willing to call a prisoner like me a teacher... Ahem, then, little Kerry, is there anything bothering you that you want to talk to me about?"

The girl opened her eyes slightly, as if she was surprised, and slowly stood up from the chair and walked towards the glass layer. Her tail swayed gently back and forth, as if showing the girl's joy and excitement. In response, Cri, who was standing outside, remained silent, shook his head vigorously, dispelled the confusion in his eyes, and answered with a calm tone.

"No... Miss Fenrir, I just wanted to tell you not to harass the workers who regularly check the equipment. Although the leader and Mr. Raiden Ryoma have reserved your basic rights, I hope you can still pay a little attention."

"..."

Hearing Kerry's cold voice, the girl who was walking slowly towards this side was slightly stunned, and a look of astonishment and disbelief flashed in her slightly fluctuating pupils. Seeing the girl's appearance, Kerry felt even more depressed.

However, he knew very well that he must not be soft-hearted at this moment...

"I see... I see... In other words, you are here as an executive of the ME company, not as the child I raised... Is this your order?"

The girl stopped and lowered her head and whispered. Her body was trembling slightly, and the pair of pointed wolf ears on her head drooped down in disappointment. There seemed to be a faint flash of tears in her eyes that were half covered by her falling hair...

"You are really amazing, Mr. Kerry. You are so young and you can become the executive officer of the largest branch of Anti-Entropy. I believe it won't be long before you can become an official executor of Anti-Entropy."

"...You taught me well, teacher."

Kerry shook his head, feeling as if something was stuck in his chest. After explaining his purpose, he should have left. However, under the impulse of emotion overcoming reason, he took a deep breath and slowly stepped forward.

"Teacher, besides this matter, I actually...I have a few personal questions I want to ask you. Can I take up a little of your time?"

487 The Inescapable Fog of Fate

As Krina's tone softened slightly, Fenrir, who was about to turn around and return to his seat, stopped.
