I, the spiritual mentor of beautiful girls from all over the world

"……fine."

Yukino Yukinoshita stared straight ahead, her voice sounding fairly calm.

But she knew that the burning sensation that ran from her neck to her ears had already betrayed her.

……

There was still a short distance from the station to the apartment, and the two walked in silence, but the atmosphere was more subtle than before.

Finally, Lynn stopped in front of her expensive-looking luxury apartment building.

"Alright, let's go upstairs." He looked at the apartment door, preparing to leave.

"teacher……"

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly spoke up and called out to him.

She stood in the soft light at the entrance of the apartment building, her long black hair gently blowing in the night breeze, her usually cool eyes fixed intently on Lynn's profile.

She mustered the greatest courage of her life.

"Who...are you?"

She finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for so long.

This time, her tone lacked the previous probing and wariness, instead conveying a calm inquiry that was almost one of confirmation.

It was as if she already knew the answer, but just needed him to admit it himself.

Lynn stopped and slowly turned around to look at her directly.

The streets were quiet late at night, and he could clearly hear her heartbeat suddenly quickening.

He didn't answer, but simply looked at her quietly with those deep, all-seeing eyes.

After a long while, he softly asked in return:

"Under the snow, whatever you think I am, that's who I am."

This statement is ambiguous and borders on nonsensical literature.

But to Yukino Yukinoshita, who had already filled in her own imagination, it sounded like a divine decree.

It's the default!

He acquiesced!

He didn't admit it directly because the truth was too shocking, and it was to protect me, a mere mortal, from being shocked by the reality of the world!

Yukino Yukinoshita's heart skipped a beat at that moment.

She saw in those calm eyes a composure and control far beyond her imagination, a depth she could not fathom.

So...that's how it is.

The relief of guessing the truth couldn't fully grasp the sense of loss in his world, nor the shyness he "protected" in this way...

Countless complex emotions intertwined in her heart, ultimately transforming into a faint, resigned smile on her lips.

Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she found that any words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

Lynn smiled.

He took a step forward and stretched out his hand.

Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively closed her eyes.

Her heart pounded like a drum at that moment, making her eardrums buzz.

However, the aggressive touch she had been expecting did not land on her lips.

Instead, a gentle, almost weightless warmth fell upon her hair.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she opened her eyes in confusion.

What came into view was Lynn's still calm eyes and his hand that was smoothing the stray hairs on her forehead.

The movements were so gentle, as if handling a fragile treasure.

"Don't overthink it." His voice was close, carrying a reassuring warmth.

"Go back and get some rest. Tomorrow, you still need to be a perfect executive chairman."

At that moment, an indescribable sense of loss, mixed with a feeling of emptiness and embarrassment at having misunderstood, instantly gripped her heart.

But this feeling of loss and embarrassment lasted only a fraction of a second.

The incredibly gentle touch from his fingertips and the pure, unadulterated care in his words completely overwhelmed and crushed him.

Ultimately, all the complex emotions converged into an uncontrollable, even more turbulent, burning heat that surged from the depths of his heart to the top of his head.

It utterly devastated her more than any other kiss.

My mind goes blank.

My cheeks, uncontrollably, turned completely red.

Until Lynn's figure turned around leisurely, waved, and completely disappeared into the night at the street corner.

Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to come back to life, and took a deep breath.

She raised her hand and gently stroked the strands of hair that he had just touched, where his warmth still seemed to linger.

My heart is still pounding.

She realized that her curiosity about the teacher had completely transformed into something more dangerous and deadly.

She looked in the direction where Lynn had disappeared, her usually cold eyes now glistening with tears, shining brightly.

After a long while, she murmured softly in a voice only she could hear.

"Goodnight...my...Mr. Puzzle."

Chapter 90: The Fifth Disciple from Another World! The kitten will be punished if it doesn't listen!

After seeing Yukino off to her upscale apartment building, Lynn turned and disappeared into the night.

Lynn didn't go home immediately. Instead, she bought a can of chilled beer at the convenience store on the corner and walked alone on the deserted street.

The tram incident was just an accident.

But Yukino's final question forced him to confront a fact he had deliberately ignored.

His disguise is being peeled away layer by layer by the "students" around him, each in their own way.

Whether it's Kasumigaoka Utaha's writer-like inquiry or Yukino Yukinoshita's genius-like imagination, they are both getting infinitely closer to the extraordinary truth that he has hidden.

"This is troublesome..."

Lynn tilted his head back and gulped down a mouthful of beer. The icy liquid slid down his throat, but it couldn't suppress the growing sense of urgency in his heart.

and…

The countdown to global integration has only twelve days left.

He didn't know what it would be like, but he was certain that with his current strength, he wouldn't be able to remain unscathed in the face of a real storm.

Back home, five minutes after feeding Qiong.

He arrived at that familiar, seemingly isolated "Safe House for the Souls of All Worlds".

Lynn sat under the eaves of the courtyard, spreading out his palms.

[Emotional perception], [Mental barrier]... these are all top-tier auxiliary abilities that allow him to see into people's hearts and manipulate emotions like an omniscient being.

[Perfect Combat Intuition], [God's Left Hand - Gandalf], [Biological Structure Analysis]... are top-tier combat abilities that ensure he is never defeated among his peers.

But his body, this flesh and blood, is still the limit of what mortals can achieve.

He possessed the skill to slay dragons, but lacked the power to do so.

It's like a programmer with top-notch hacking skills but only an old machine with a Pentium processor; if he runs a slightly complex program, the CPU will burn out on the spot.

"System, given my current conditions, is there a way to quickly forge an extraordinary body?"

[Searching for the optimal solution based on the host's current capabilities...]

【Search completed.】

[The host's core ability, "Left Hand of God," has been detected to possess the characteristics of "concept devouring" and "infinite growth."]

[Recommended Plan: Forge a Divine Body.]

[Detailed Plan: Using the [Left Hand of God - Gandalf] as a furnace, devour and fuse all divinely created weapons (SacredGear) with the concept of "weapon" from all the myriad realms, using its fundamental rules as bricks to reforge an immortal and indestructible "divine body".]

A vast star map appeared before Lynn's eyes.

One of the worlds was highlighted in bright red by the system.

Target World: High School DxD

[World Value: Extremely High. This world possesses a complete "divinely created weapon" system, making it the best "material library" for the host to forge a divine body.]

[Key target: Azazel. Governor of the Fallen Angels, the foremost researcher of divinely created weapons, he himself is a walking "ultimate treasure trove".]

Lynn looked at the information on the screen, her eyes flashing.

He no longer wanted to passively wait for girls in dire straits to come to him, like before.

He needs to take the initiative.

"System, use the safe house as a mobile base and directly descend into the target world."

[WARNING: Performing a world jump will consume a large amount of primordial energy.]

[WARNING: Forcibly intervening in other worlds in the form of a "divine realm" will cause the time flow in the host's original world to stop. Estimated time lock: ten years.]

ten years.

Lynn tapped her fingertips lightly on the floor.

For an ordinary person, ten years is a long time.

But for the "hunt" he is about to begin, ten years may just be enough.

"implement."

【Command confirmed.】

[The Safe Haven for All Realms: Leap Forward Begins!]

boom--

Lynn felt the whole world shake slightly.

The view outside the window remained unchanged, still the same eternal starry sky.

But at this moment, Lynn's [Mental Barrier] sensed an immense will that was incomparably vast, ancient, and seemingly integrated with the dimension itself.

It was a deep, pure crimson.

Just by brushing past each other, that will made Lynn feel a terrifying pressure as if the whole world were at stake.

[Hint: You have successfully entered the dimensional rift of the High School DxD world.]

[Note: This has attracted the attention of the "True Crimson Dragon God Emperor".]

Lynn looked at the notification and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Did the start of the event alarm the top bigwigs?

interesting.

...

Meanwhile, in the world of High School DxD, in a remote forest in the Demon Territory.

A strong smell of blood and the acrid stench of burning magic permeated the forest.

A petite figure was struggling through the shadows of the trees, her gorgeous kimono now tattered, revealing large patches of her fair skin and shocking wounds.

The black cat ears and tail drooped limply, showing the owner's current weakness.

SS-class rogue demon, Black Song.

She felt like her lungs were a broken bellows, and every breath was accompanied by a burning pain.
