After the settlement interface closed, Chika let out a long sigh of relief, then focused her consciousness on the cracked Law Core within her body.

(Damn, I feel like I lost out. After all this, only one core is still usable. Damaging the Herrscher of Reason's core is too much.)

"Boss Aha, is it possible to use the Echoes of Fate energy to repair the Law of Reason core?"

[Ding! Host request detected.]

[Analysis in progress... The core of the Herrscher of Reason suffers severe structural damage, involving the very source of its powers.]

[The energy of the Echoes of Fate possesses high-dimensional properties and can be used for repair, but its energy conversion efficiency is low, and the repair process consumes a large amount of energy.]

Conclusion: It's possible, but not recommended.

(Confirm execution.)

[Repair in progress...]

[Consumes 200% of Echoes of Fate!]

[Under repair...]

[Repair complete.]

[Herrscher of Reason Core Damage Repair: 3% -> 6%]

[Echoes of Fate Energy Remaining: 45% (Overload -> Full)]

Feeling the almost completely drained energy within her body, leaving only a slight sense of fullness, and the negligible repair progress of her core, Chika fell silent.

(Damn, the cost of this repair is way too high... What a huge loss. It seems that fully repairing this core will be a long and arduous task.)

(By the way, why is this new core called Fusion? Does it just give it to a max-level character so there's no need to upgrade? But the side effects are huge. Is this how inflated pufferfish are?)

(No wonder the immortal's palm snapped my internet connection. If it weren't for the Herrscher of Reason core allowing me to maintain my rationality, I think I would have turned into the next pufferfish.)

(But at least... I can finally turn back.)

With a hint of weariness and complicated emotions, Chiin guided the calming power within her body and released [Hououin Chika] from her spirit form.

As the light shifted, the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar body that belonged to the boy returned.

Chapter 120 Silent Torture

The next day, the morning sunlight shone through the windows into the classroom of Class 4, Grade 2 at Laichan High School. The air in the classroom was filled with the smell of chalk dust and paper, and everything seemed to be the same as usual.

However, for Itsuka Shido now, sitting in this classroom today requires immense courage.

His back was stiff, and his eyes were fixed on the teacher writing on the blackboard, as if that was the most attractive thing in the world.

However, out of the corner of my eye, I kept glancing uncontrollably at the seat next to me.

There sat a boy with soft, short black hair and delicate features—Senin Phoenix.

He rested his chin on his hand, gazing somewhat absently out the window, his posture languid and natural, exactly like a student who had just returned from leave two days ago and hadn't quite settled back into his studies.

(Chiin... he's back... does he really... remember nothing?)

Shido's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, each beat carrying a dull pain and an indescribable sense of guilt.

In her mind, the image of a girl with long, icy blue hair and a broken yet resolute gaze—Hououin Chika—overlapped with and then tore apart from the image of her best friend who knew nothing about it, bringing waves of dizziness.

(That was his "sister"... Although Chiin himself never mentioned it, that girl definitely existed, and...)

Shido's fingernails dug unconsciously into his palm. (And I, I know everything, even... about her...)

The feelings that had just begun to blossom were cruelly nipped in the bud, and Chika's final "Goodbye" and the subsequent erasure of her existence felt like cold needles piercing his conscience.

He couldn't turn around naturally as usual, smile at Chiin, and put his arm around her shoulder to discuss last night's game results.

(What expression should I wear when I face him? How can I explain my strange behavior these past few days? I... I don't even dare to look into his eyes, afraid that I'll see the shadow of another person in those similar features.)

The bell finally rang, and Shido almost immediately wanted to escape from the suffocating seat.

However, a cold voice rang out behind him, causing him to freeze in place.

"Fellow student of Phoenix Academy".

It was Origami Tobiichi. She had somehow already stood beside Senin's desk, her pale blue eyes calm and serene, yet carrying an undeniable scrutiny.

Chiin seemed to have just snapped out of her reverie, and looked up somewhat blankly: "Hmm? Tobiichi-san, is there something you need?"

Origami didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Where is your younger sister, Hououin Chika, now?"

"Sister?" Chiin's confusion deepened, and he frowned slightly, as if trying to recall.

"Tobiichi, are you mistaken? I don't have a younger sister. I'm an only child."

His tone was natural, with just the right amount of doubt, showing no trace of pretense.

Shido's heart sank.

(He... really doesn't remember... Chika, she doesn't even remember her own brother...)

Origami's expression remained unchanged; she simply continued her statement:

“The day before yesterday, Shido and I went to your house to visit you when you were sick. Your younger sister, Chinatsu, was home at the time and prepared tea for us.”

Her gaze swept over the stiff Shido, as if seeking confirmation.

Shido felt his cheeks instantly burn. He dared not look at Senin and could only stare intently at the tips of his shoes, as if flowers could bloom from there.

(Yes... that day... Chika... even poured us tea...)

Just then, a lively voice broke in; it was Hongren, the class's gossipmonger:

"Yeah, yeah! Chiin, your little sister has been coming to school in your place these past few days! Wow, she's such a beauty! And her cooking is absolutely amazing! The dishes she made in home economics class the other day, just the smell alone made my mouth water!"

Hiroto's words struck Shido like another heavy blow. Several classmates nearby were also drawn in and curiously gathered around.

"Eh? Chiin, you didn't know you had a younger sister?"

"Really? She even came to school in your place a couple of days ago!"

"Yeah, yeah, it's a great alternative to going to school! So cool!"

As his classmates bombarded him with questions, Qianyuan's blank expression turned into a hint of panic and the pain of trying to think. He rubbed his temples hard.

"What are you talking about? I really don't have a younger sister... going to school in her place? I... I don't remember anything like that... I only remember that I wasn't feeling well a few days ago and had been resting at home..."

Looking at the determined eyes of his classmates and the calm yet persistent gaze of their origami, his expression grew increasingly confused, even tinged with self-doubt:

"Could it be... that I'm delirious from the fever? But... I really don't remember anything..."

He looked at Shido, as if hoping to get a negative answer from his best friend:

"Shido, what... what's going on? You really... saw my sister?"

As Chiin gazed at him with eyes filled with pure confusion and a plea for help, Shido felt as if something was blocking his throat.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

That means dragging Chiin into that dangerous and cruel truth?

But that would also be a betrayal of Chika's existence, and a lie to her friends...

(What should I say? What should I do?!)

Just as Shido was struggling intensely within himself and was about to succumb to the silent torment, a gentle yet somewhat weary voice rescued him.

"Alright, everyone, go back to your seats. Class is about to start."

Ms. Murasame Reine appeared at the classroom door at some point. She pushed up her glasses, her tone calm yet carrying an unquestionable authority.

She walked over to Senin, gently patted him on the shoulder, then faced all the students and explained in a clear voice:

"There's probably a misunderstanding. The Phoenix Institute student who came a few days ago is not Chiin's biological sister."

"She was a transfer student who returned from abroad. She was just temporarily using the surname 'Phoenix Academy' to complete the temporary enrollment procedures. It just so happened that Qian Yuan's classmates were on leave for a few days, so the school arranged for her to briefly experience this class in order to make management easier."

Teacher Lingyin's words flowed smoothly and naturally, as if stating a given fact:

"Because of her family's arrangements, Chika left Tengu City the night before last and returned overseas. So, everyone, please don't discuss this matter anymore."

This official explanation sounded reasonable and instantly dispelled most of the students' doubts.

"Ah, so that's how it is!"

"I knew it! Chiin has never mentioned having a younger sister."

"A transfer student who returned from overseas, no wonder he has a different aura."

The students discussed it amongst themselves and gradually dispersed.

However, Shido clearly saw that when Reine-sensei explained, Senin also showed an "I see" expression of realization, just like everyone else.

But the fleeting, deeper bewilderment in the depths of his eyes did not escape Shido's notice. Origami, on the other hand, remained expressionless, merely glancing at Reine-sensei without saying anything more.

The crisis seems to have been temporarily averted.

But Shido knew that some things had completely changed.

Looking at Chiin's profile, which bore a resemblance to Chika's but was now filled with "normality" and "confusion," the guilt and heaviness in his heart not only did not lessen, but instead grew thicker and thicker like the ever-accumulating dark clouds.

(Chiin... I'm sorry...)

(Chika... why... did you go to such lengths...?)
