Collapse, but Stand users

"My other self, are you a Herrscher?"

"What? What's the problem?"

"Then can you lend me your power?"

"Oh? What, are you going to steal your boyfriend from your girlfriends?"

Mei shook her head.

"I just want to protect everyone. Besides, Kiana and the others are just as important to me as my teacher."

The Herrscher of Thunder smiled but did not comment on Mei's words.

“I can lend you my strength, but in return, you must also set aside some time each day for me to use your body.”

"..."

Mei hesitated for a moment, and seeing this, the Herrscher of Thunder prepared to conceal her body.

"Wait! I agree." Unwilling to remain just a spectator on the battlefield, Mei called out to the Herrscher of Thunder.

The Herrscher of Thunder nodded.

'The plan is clear.'

......

The Herrscher of Thunder is a second personality born from receiving Mei's negative emotions, but at some point, a vague memory appeared in her mind.

It seems that she, like Mei, was once chosen as a Herrscher due to unforeseen circumstances.

And he himself seemed to have been killed by that man named He Chengrui more than once.

Do I hate him? Of course, but I hate even more the one who ruined my life and chose me as the Herrscher.

"Just wait, whether it's Honkai or He Chengrui, I will crush them one by one."

......

Two months into the winter break, there was still no sign of Qianyu Academy reopening.

'That makes sense, though. Families who can afford to send their children to Qianyu Academy are all extremely wealthy and powerful. After all that's happened, these parents wouldn't want their children to go there.'

'It seems Cocolia hasn't fully mastered Chiba Academy yet.'

So, does most bullying originate from the students themselves...?

'Cocolia's been quiet for a while now, what mischief is she up to now?'

Meanwhile, Cocolia is being attacked by anti-entropy conservatives for deploying Titans in civilian areas.

However, it seems that after imprisoning Raiden Ryoma, she made Anti-Entropy her own domain, and now that there are voices opposing her, she is busy suppressing her opponents.

......

After talking with He Chengrui, Kiana learned that Siegfried was protecting her all around her.

But she still didn't understand why her father would do such a thing.

He Chengrui shook his head.

"If you want to know the answer, go ask Siegfried yourself."

Meanwhile, Bronya, seeing that He Chengrui had promised to save Seele but hadn't done anything, was getting anxious and couldn't help but ask him.

He Chengrui stated that his power would continue to grow as he absorbed Honkai energy, and that Seele should be safe at the moment, so he told Bronya not to worry.

Having already chosen He Chengrui's side, Bronya had no choice but to leave it to fate.

Days passed uneventfully, and He Chengrui's strength seemed to have hit a bottleneck, his physical body stuck at the level of a Knight-level Honkai Beast and unable to advance further.

But that's definitely not enough. If your physical strength isn't high enough, you'll die before you can even touch your opponent. How can you possibly activate the Killer Queen skill then?

Then, we can only wait for the Law of Thunder or the Law of Emptiness to descend.

However, He Chengrui was more inclined to believe Lei Lu, since she seemed to know something.

Unbeknownst to He Chengrui, the Thunder Lawyer was secretly observing his every move, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Why didn't He Chengrui know? Because Mei would secretly watch him every day, and over time, he got used to it.

......

"This is terrible, a major crisis!"

He Chengrui said in a serious voice.

The three women looked at each other, wondering what had happened.

"Everyone, since Qianyu Academy is not open, I will not receive my salary."

“Is that so? It is indeed a very serious problem,” Mei nodded and said.

"Oh no, that means the life of eating big meals is over! No way, I haven't had enough of Mei's cooking yet!" Kiana cried out, taking the opportunity to hug Mei and grope her.

Bronya expressionlessly took out her card and handed it to He Chengrui.

As if something was missing, Bronya added another sentence.

"Take it and spend it, man."

He Chengrui wasn't embarrassed and took Bronya's bank card.

......

"Bronya must have been manipulated and threatened by that man."

"Mom will come to save you, Bronya."

“Cocolia, what are you muttering to yourself about again?” said the man who looked like Walter.

"It's nothing, it's just that you're incredibly strong, boss."

The man burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"That's natural, that's natural!"

Cocolia's face darkened as she watched the man turn away.

"You're just a defective product, how dare you talk to me like that?"

'For the sake of the greater cause, we must tolerate him.'
