I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

The katana, crackling with lightning, slashed down with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!

Faced with this swift attack, Gu Ye didn't even move a step.

He simply raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers together, and golden ripples of energy gathered at his fingertips, as if igniting a tiny sun.

"clang!"

His finger landed precisely on the falling blade.

The golden ripples of energy collided violently with the purple lightning, producing a piercing metallic clang.

The lightning flashed instantly, and the menacing katana was firmly held between two fingers, unable to advance even an inch further.

The "Thunder Queen's" pupils contracted. She could feel a warm yet domineering force flowing upwards through the blade, instantly numbing her arm.

"Not bad, both the power and speed are very impressive."

Gu Ye loosened his grip, lightly leaped backward, and created some distance. "Your initial application of power is already quite impressive. You probably have about 30 to 40% of her own strength. As a beginner, you've done very well, Hai Meng."

He praised her generously.

However, this praise, and the name "Hai Meng" in the words, was like a spark that instantly ignited a complex emotion.

Kitagawa Kaimu's affection for Gu Ye and the Thunder Queen's admiration for the Redeemer were miraculously fused together under the catalysis of this role-playing.

"Don't... use that tone... to call me by my name!"

The "Thunder Queen's" eyes changed.

If what she had just done was merely imitation, now her eyes burned with the true majesty and possessiveness of a Herrscher.

A burst of purple lightning, several times stronger than before, erupted from her body, and the dragon horns on her forehead became even more crimson, as if blood were flowing within them.

She gripped the hilt with both hands and raised the katana high above her head.

The lights in the entire living room began to flicker wildly, and the air was filled with a dangerous, skin-tingling smell of ionization.

"Disappear!"

This strike was no longer a simple slash.

The blade was crackling with terrifying lightning, transforming into a massive purple crescent-shaped slash that roared and tore through the air. Wherever it passed, even the space itself seemed to groan in agony from the unbearable weight of the attack!

Gu Ye's expression finally changed.

The air behind him distorted, a weather forecast appeared instantly, and huge arms crossed in front of him.

"boom--!"

The purple lightning strike landed squarely on the weather forecaster's arm, producing a deafening roar.

The powerful impact cracked the wooden floor beneath Gu Ye's feet, and the huge blast wave blew the clutter in the living room all over the place.

Kitagawa Kaimu, after unleashing this all-or-nothing strike, had all his magical power instantly drained.

Her Thunder Queen form vanished like a sandcastle, transforming her back into the blonde girl in a casual T-shirt and shorts. Everything went black, her body went limp, and she collapsed backward.

Damage suffered by the Stand will be transmitted to the original user.

The weather forecaster's right arm was cleaved open by a lightning strike, leaving a deep gash that exposed bone. The same wound appeared on Gu Ye's right arm.

The bright red blood had just gushed out when it was covered by a layer of golden ripple energy. The wound stopped bleeding, closed, and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, only a faint white mark remained.

Gu Ye didn't even glance at his own wound. He strode forward and, before Kitagawa Kaimeng could fall to the ground, steadily pulled her soft, limp body into his arms.

The girl's body was burning hot, her breathing was rapid, and her forehead was covered in fine cold sweat; she was clearly exhausted.

Gu Ye helped her sit on the sofa and then placed his palm on her back.

Pure, ripple-like magic slowly flowed into her body, helping her restore her depleted magic circuits.

"Gu Yejun...your hand!"

Kitagawa Kaimu regained some strength, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the scar on Gu Ye's arm that had not yet completely faded.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and her voice trembled with tears.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Gu Yejun! I didn't mean to! I really didn't mean to!"

She hesitated, wanting to touch the wound, but afraid of hurting him. Her outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and tears streamed down her face like broken beads.

"It was just a minor injury, it's already healed."

Gu Ye's tone remained calm. He raised his arm, which was now completely healed, and waved it in front of her to indicate that he was alright.

"But...but I..."

Hai Meng looked at him, her guilt and self-blame preventing her from uttering a complete sentence.

"Don't worry."

Gu Ye took out a few tissues and gently wiped away her tears. "That attack just now was amazing. Even I was startled. You've already managed to unleash 60% of her strength. You have tremendous potential."

He paused, looking at the girl's eyes, which were especially moist from crying, and added, "But remember in the future, when using unfamiliar powers, you must learn to control your emotions. Power is easily controlled by emotions, not by you."

"See, it's all right now."

Gu Ye's voice was calm. He raised his right arm and waved it in front of Kitagawa Kaimu's wet eyes.

This brings us to the healing abilities that Avalon granted him.

The skin there was smooth and intact, as if the deep, bone-revealing wound from before was just an illusion; only the torn sleeve testified to the violence that had occurred not long ago.

Kitagawa Kaimu stared blankly at the severed arm, then reached out with trembling fingers and carefully touched it; the warm touch was unmistakably real.

She finally let out a long breath, a breath that seemed to take away all the strength and lingering fear from her body, and she slumped down, leaning against the back of the sofa.

"That's great...that's really great..."

She murmured softly, tears welling up uncontrollably once again, but this time not from fear or guilt, but from the relief of surviving a disaster.

"Stop crying, or your eyes will swell up like walnuts."

Gu Ye handed her a tissue, his tone tinged with helplessness, "Besides, that's not what you should be thinking about right now."

"Eh?"

Hai Meng took the tissue and wiped her face haphazardly, then looked up at him with her red eyes, puzzled.

"strength."

Gu Ye said, "What you need to think about is why you lost control. Whether it's being influenced by the role or being swayed by emotions, ultimately it's because you're not strong enough to fully control it."

Gu Ye's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the remaining chaotic emotions in Hai Meng's heart and instantly bringing her back to her senses.

She looked down at her hands, which were fair and slender, yet had just unleashed a lightning strike powerful enough to cleave steel.

She recalled that moment just now, when her mind was occupied by the Queen's will and her complex feelings for Gu Ye, and her body felt completely out of control.

A sense of lingering fear and resentment welled up in my heart at the same time.

"I……"

She bit her lower lip, her eyes hardening once more. "I understand. I absolutely, absolutely will not let myself be controlled by the roles again! I want to become someone who can perfectly master them!"

This determination was quickly shattered by the reality before them.

The two looked around; the living room was a mess.

The expensive, large-screen LCD TV was cracked in the middle, resembling a black spider web, with wisps of smoke rising from it.

A charred slash mark was left on the wall, extending all the way to the ceiling.

The floor was covered with shattered wood chips and fragments of glass broken by the shockwave.

The air was filled with a mixture of ozone and the smell of burning wood.

"Ah...the TV..."

Kitagawa Kaimu's gaze fell on the TV cabinet, where the game disc box for "Saint Slippery Girls' Academy" was miraculously intact, only blown into a corner by the blast wave.

She ran over, picked up the box, dusted it off, and her face was full of joy.

After being tossed around like that, the drowsiness she felt from exhaustion had completely vanished, replaced by a state of excitement mixed with determination.

"The TV is broken, so I can't play games."

She held the game box and said with some distress.

Jiuling Sanqi Jiulong

"If you want to play, I have another one in my room."

Gu Ye pointed upstairs.

"Huh? Shall we go to Gu Yejun's room?"

Hai Meng's voice instantly rose an octave, and her hand holding the game box tightened unconsciously.

"Hmm, is there a problem?"

Gu Ye looked at her with eyes so pure it was as if he were asking, "Would you like an egg for dinner?"

"No, no problem!"

Hai Meng quickly shook her head, but her cheeks involuntarily began to burn.

Gu Ye's bedroom, like himself, was extremely simple.

A bed, a wardrobe, a desk, and a sizable television hanging on the wall, connected to a brand-new game console. Nothing else. The walls were pure white, the floor was natural wood, and the room was so clean it didn't seem like the domain of a sixteen-year-old boy, much less the secret hideout of a seasoned otaku.

"No matter how many times we meet, Gu Yejun, your room... is so clean."

Hai Meng stood at the door, looking around somewhat nervously.

"come in."

Gu Ye had already walked over and turned on the TV and game console, skillfully switching between signal sources.

Hai Meng took a deep breath, as if she were about to make a major decision, and stepped into the room.

She put the game disc into the game console, then knelt on the carpet beside the bed and picked up the controller.

Gu Ye casually sat down on the gaming chair next to him.

Soon, the television screen displayed the flamboyant and clearly suggestive title screen of "The St. Slippery Girls' Academy's Young Lady's Shameless Miracle Life in the Shame Club 2nd Generation." Background music and character voice acting filled the entire room.

The game reaches a crucial choice where the female protagonist on the screen is being taken to the guidance room by the student council president under the pretext of "inspecting discipline" for "special guidance."

The text in the dialog box was filled with various words and panting with heart-shaped symbols.

"Shouldn't I choose 'Stubbornly Resist' here? That would trigger a hidden storyline..."

Gu Ye turned his head to the side and began to give Hai Meng a serious guide on how to win her over.

"Ah... um... okay..."

Hai Meng's face was as red as a boiled shrimp. She didn't dare to look directly at the obscene CG images on the screen. She could only nod haphazardly and press the confirmation button stiffly with her fingers.

She could smell Gu Ye's scent in the air, a faint smell, like the scent of sunshine on freshly washed clothes.

The scent, mixed with the ambiguous sound effects from the game, made her heart pound.

Gu Ye was completely oblivious to the girl's embarrassment beside him. He yawned, a tear welling up in the corner of his eye.

The continuous fighting and intense concentration left him feeling an overwhelming sense of exhaustion.

"I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to bed now."

He stood up, stretched, and said, "You can play by yourself. If you get tired, go sleep in the guest room."

"Ah, okay, alright! Gu Yejun, you should go and get some rest!"

Hai Meng felt as if she had been granted a pardon and quickly said...

Gu Ye nodded, walked straight to the bed, pulled back the covers and lay down. Almost the instant his head touched the pillow, he began to breathe steadily.

The noise and traces of the battle in the living room seemed to be shut out from outside this door.

In the room, only the panting of the heroines from the game and Kitagawa Kaimu's own pounding heartbeat could be heard.

She secretly glanced back at Gu Ye, who was fast asleep. His sleeping face was peaceful, completely devoid of his usual aloofness.

Hai Meng's cheeks burned even hotter.

She quickly turned back, forcing herself to focus on the game screen. A new CG had been unlocked, even more exciting than before.
