Collapse, but Stand users

After Mei's small burst of power and a period of accumulation, He Chengrui's physical body finally reached the strength of a Knight-level Honkai Beast.

He Chengrui tried to speak with the Herrscher of Thunder inside Mei, but after entering Mei's dream, he did not see her.

However, Mei would feel a little shy every day because she dreamed about He Chengrui.

With abnormalities occurring frequently at Qianyu Academy, the school simply gave students an early winter break.

He Chengrui was happy to have some free time. He would take walks every day, tease Kiana, and then be dragged into playing games by Yaya and Kiana.

However, Mei couldn't be left out, so they found a four-player game to play together.

Later, for convenience, Ya Ya also moved to He Chengrui's house. Fortunately, the villa was big enough and there were plenty of rooms for Ya Ya to live in.

At He Chengrui's home, Bronya rediscovered the feeling she had when she first arrived at the orphanage.

This feeling, however, vanished because of Cocolia's ambition.

This made Bronya feel even more strongly that choosing He Chengrui's side was the right thing to do.

Because Cocolia had already changed, perhaps when she chose to have the children participate in the X-10 experiment, or perhaps even earlier.

Before moving into He Chengrui's house, Bronya took the initiative to contact Cocolia.

"Cocolia, I will save Seele in my own way."

Goodbye... Mom.

Bronya hung up the phone before Cocolia could react.

"Have you thought about it?"

Bronya was still immersed in what had just been said when she was startled by the sudden voice from behind her.

"...It's not right to just barge into the house of a girl living alone, teacher."

“I saw the door was open, so I came in to check on you,” He Chengrui said with a shrug.

"So, do you need me to remove the chip from your head?"

"Oh? The teacher has this skill?"

He Chengrui smiled but didn't say anything, and placed his hand on Bronya's head to pat her.

'Killer Queen'

The ability is activated, and the chip disappears.

From then on, Cocolia and Bronya went their separate ways.

"Have you packed everything you need?"

Bronya nodded and summoned her Heavy Bunny to carry the luggage.

On the way, Bronya wanted to apologize to Mei and asked He Chengrui for his opinion.

Thinking that he wouldn't be able to attend school for more than a few days before the map changed, He Chengrui nodded.

Afterwards, Bronya apologized to Mei for what Cocolia and she had done, and He Chengrui also provided the full story of the incident.

Since it involved many terms related to "collapse," He Chengrui also took the opportunity to give the group a crash course in the knowledge of "collapse."

"Ha~"

Seeing Kiana yawn, He Chengrui was speechless.

"You get sleepy during the teacher's lecture, right?"

Kiana scratched her head sheepishly, and He Chengrui didn't know what to say.

......

"I've finished explaining. Do you have any questions?"

Mei was somewhat dazed after hearing this, unable to process such a large amount of information at once.

"Teacher, what about my father?"

"There's no need to worry now. Killing Raiden Ryoma won't do Cocolia any good."

After he finished speaking, He Chengrui noticed that Mei seemed to want to say something more.

"There's no need to hide anything from us."

Perhaps because so much had happened, the girl felt extremely insecure. Mei asked hesitantly, "Are you all approaching me for the Herrscher core?"

The other three exchanged glances and then burst out laughing.

"I think I've said this before, but I'll say it again anyway."

"Because you are Mei, nothing more."

......

Mei later forgave Bronya, or perhaps Mei never really blamed her in the first place.

The four of them played games and cleaned up the occasional small-scale collapses in the vicinity, and the days passed by one by one.

Even up to the New Year, there was no new activity from Cocolia.

But He Chengrui guessed that she was probably planning another big one.

"Hey, it's snowing! Let's go out and play in the snow!"

Kiana suggested that everyone nod and go play in the snow in the yard.

Looking at the three girls in the courtyard, He Chengrui held a cup of hot tea and sighed at the peaceful life.

"If you don't exercise, your body will rust," the white snake said, blocking He Chengrui's path.

"Long-winded."

Suddenly, a snowball pierced through the white snake's body and struck He Chengrui. Immediately afterward, He Chengrui heard Kiana and the white snake laughing.

He Chengrui stood up and patted the snow off his clothes.

"It seems you've already made up your minds."

"Killer Queen!"

Kiana was later defeated by He Chengrui, and the White Snake also lost in the illusionary snowball battle against the Killer Queen.
