Collapse, survive

"Yes! Aunt Himeko, please don't hit me... Ouch!"

The other slipper, as precise as a piece of chalk, sent Kiana, who was clutching her head, fleeing in panic.

Fang Jie was also dragged away by her, and she protected him behind her, showing great loyalty.

He could also hear Kiana telling him about the Valkyrie survival rules: never provoke an angry Himeko, because she would roar at him with a super-loud voice, and he would also have to face the dual authority of being a teacher and a supervisor!

Then you should remember even more: don't call me auntie, you brat!

"Really..."

The door closed again. Ji Zi tore off her bath towel, swaggered back, and looked at the newly renovated room. This was the place she had cleaned up by Fang Jie, who had whipped her with a small leather whip.

Just recalling that scene fills Himeko with rage. She turns her head, revealing her shark-like teeth in fury, "You made me lose face in front of the students! You really came to see my room, huh? Why are you making such a fuss about this... Is it really necessary to see the room?"

"Don't let me see you again!"

The sound was nothing like the soft mellowness of the night; it had a comforting quality, like a piece of velvet caressing the ear. He stormed into the bathroom, where the sound of running water hadn't stopped yet.

……

……

"Huh, escaped."

Kiana finally breathed a sigh of relief after hiding in the public bathroom and continued her washing up.

Hurry up, she's in a hurry to eat breakfast.

But what about Mei, and that idiot Bronya? Did they oversleep too much too? No way, they must have gone to class. What class was it again... I think it was history.

It's up!

She ate and drank a lot last night, and her face was still greasy. She washed her face vigorously, brushed her teeth in front of the mirror, creating big clumps of foam...

There was another person next to the large mirror, whose reflection mirrored the same action.

Is it fun to imitate others?

Kiana grumbled, "It's all your fault! You made me get elbowed by Himeko-sensei first thing in the morning."

Fang Jie ignored her. Since he was already there, he washed up in the bathroom while humming a song.

"...A riotous display of sentimentality in the wine glass, most willing to forget ancient poems, most disdainful of unrequited love, guarding love for fear of being laughed at, and even for fear of being seen through..."

Kiana was shocked!

It wasn't that Fang Jie's mouth wasn't moving; he was probably singing ventriloquism. Rather, it was a woman's voice—melodious, gentle, and affectionate, tinged with sorrow, lamenting the affected sentimentality of young people in the face of genuine emotion.

It's that kind of regret that comes from missing out because of foolish ideas and a lack of appreciation.

So when you make a choice, don't let yourself regret it.

Spring comes again to see the red beans bloom, but no lovers are to be seen picking them; fireworks embrace romance, but true love is nowhere to be found...

Fang Jie cherished it very much, and had already left his mark on Ji Zi. But Ji Zi, as expected, was never someone who pursued small love. The adult world is truly cruel.

So when she said, "Hehe~ Isn't it pretty? You like it, right? How about I be your girlfriend?" Fang Jie replied, "Sure, sure, but my standards are very high..."

If someone seeks me through appearance or sound, that person is on a crooked path.

Then don't blame me for being weird.

So Kiana, why are you poking my kidney?

Fang Jie looked down and saw Qi Maomao curiously sticking out her paws, smearing foam all over him. Her eyes were full of curiosity: "Strange, where did that singing come from? This isn't ventriloquism or voice imitation."

"Stigmata power, Kiana, do you possess such a Stigmata?"

Fang Jie looked proud.

I'm sorry, Kiana's Stigmata genes have been integrated and suppressed by the Herrscher's power, so they won't show up on her skin as patterns. Otherwise, why would I only give her a B-grade rating?

Those born with the Holy Mark Awakening ability, if their abilities lean towards combat, will at least have A-level potential in Destiny.

Incidentally, the World Serpent is another criterion for judgment. It does not pursue the combat power expressed by the Stigmata, but rather the will touching the Stigmata and maintaining its own endurance in the imaginary space.

"You've awakened your Stigmata, huh? That makes sense... Wait, aren't you an alien?"

Kiana was greatly surprised that aliens also had Stigmata; she was just as bewildered as Himeko.

"So what if they're aliens? They're people too. I'm going to build a Star Ring in the future."

Fang Jie spat out the foam in his mouth and changed the song.

"I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry, I'm really so hungry..."

Kiana's curiosity vanished instantly. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, betrayed, and looked over in disbelief, her face screaming, "You betrayed our friendship? I even treated you to a meal!"

"Goo-ah—you are ruthless."

"Hmph, this is the reward for that kick last night."

Fang Jie leisurely walked out of the bathroom, quickly tidying up Kiana's space, planning to go to the cafeteria to pick up some souvenirs and bring the packed meal from St. Freya Academy's cafeteria to Uncle Yang.

Yes, other people would probably be interested too.

Then let Uncle Yang work himself to the bone on how to locate Seele in the Sea of ​​Quanta and how to get her out of Kevin's clutches...

They even considered whether to prevent 'Walter' from venturing into the Sea of ​​Quanta to confront Kevin, and to wait to become the old man who imparts his power to Bronya.

If he's not careful, he might end up playing the role of the 'grandpa who imparts skills' and fighting Kevin...

I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it.

Almighty Uncle Yang, please give me an easy and enjoyable strategy for defeating Kevin.

.

P.S.: It's Monday again! Good morning, noon, and evening everyone. I'm adding an extra chapter today to tally this week's data. Emmmm, secretly setting up a bounty was definitely the right thing to do; the data is dismal! ╰(￣▽￣)╭

Luckily, I didn't have many drafts left, so this is just the right amount.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Little March, Don't Be Like That!

"Damn it, don't run, prepare to die!"

Knight flying kick!

Not a knight.

It was not a flying kick.

Kiana's imposing dribble blocked Fang Jie's path, who was trying to entice her with a catchy food song, her sapphire-like eyes glaring fiercely at him.

"At least you have a conscience, knowing to wait for me. Wait, you don't know the way, do you? What an idiot."

She looked at him with disdain. "Come on, come on, I'm taking pity on you and will take you to eat. Hurry up, I'm starving..."

Walking at a leisurely pace through the scenic St. Freya Academy, Fang Jie listened to Kiana's chatter as she chased after him, overtaking him and making a disdainful face—he felt refreshed and invigorated, as if everything was renewed.

It must be because he refined the duck that he gained a new understanding of the powers of the Herald of Reason.

"—This eye has seen all of this world."

Fang Jie glanced at Kiana running ahead, her short skirt fluttering, not revealing too much of her healthy thighs, and the absolute territory formed by her and stockings, which was see-through... Hmm, she's the cute type.

"Hurry up! You're so slow! Aren't you hungry? You're not even eager to eat..."

Kiana's twin tails swayed incessantly, radiating joy.

"Ah."

Fang Jie won.

When she looked back alertly, Fang Jie had already surveyed the surrounding scenery, and a vast amount of... memories of plants and trees, emotions, and information flowing through all things surfaced in her mind...

He acquires and peruses information quickly; he is a serious person.

The power of the Herrscher of Reason constructs a 'knowledge space'. Just as all the Stigmata genes are connected to the same 'origin', this space records 'everything in the world'. It cannot be said to be infinite, but humans, even Herrschers, can only read a very limited amount. Precisely because of this, in order to access the knowledge within, one must use a targeted index.

At this moment, Fang Jie vaguely touched upon the realm of Joyce. It was not because he combined the lower-level powers of the Herrscher of Life and Death to make connections and repair the 'cell recombination' and 'DNA modification' of the reconstruction, but because he could touch this field simply by relying on the powers of the Herrscher of Reason.

——【Ontology Mimicry】

He stretched out his hand, and a flower appeared between his fingers—not a reconstruction, but a mimicry.

Humans live only a lifetime, like plants in spring. Looking back at the records engraved in our genes, it is not language, writing, or images, but 'knowledge', which, combined with the character 喰, can be described as 'information' itself.

It is neither two-dimensional nor three-dimensional, but rather a higher dimension of information.

Clearly, his method of accessing Joyce's realm was to 'learn' through the power of corruption, but whatever he did, he succeeded.

【真】 and 【喰】 complement each other. The latter is responsible for the efficient reading of the 'knowledge space' like devouring it, but it eats everything indiscriminately and blindly expands the life of the solution. By the time it realizes that it has eaten something it should not have eaten, it is too late.

The former is responsible for identification, timely acquisition of corresponding information based on the needs of the solution, and inclusion of the continuously acquired useless information into the knowledge space as a buffer.

In this way, time, space, and form are integrated.

Therefore, it can provide information to him anytime, anywhere, at the appropriate time, automatically filtering out outdated or premature useless information, and providing him with indescribable information in the most suitable form, such as sound, text, video, animation, images, etc.

This is like the integration of horsepower, traffic, and realm. The previous explanation was that the horsepower was high enough, the traffic was limited, and the realm... Let's not talk about this, we are all good friends, and adults should act like adults.

In short, the fact that [True] and [Ghoul] have been developed to this extent means that Fang Jie can construct himself more 'safely' without worrying about accidentally turning into a strange creature with three heads, four arms, five legs, and six baskets after coming into contact with various 'hypermutation factors' and 'ancient beast factors'...

Kosmo is handsome, but there's no need for him to look like that.

They've arrived at the cafeteria, and Kiana, who recently received her period allowance, is going to treat everyone.

"Eat as much as you want! I'm not the same person I used to be. I'm rich now!"

She patted her chest, beaming with pride and showing off her period with great swagger.

"Impressive, impressive, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Fang Jie didn't laugh, nor did he stand on ceremony with her; he took the food and some leftovers and packed them up.

So Kiana went from being overjoyed at first, to gradually becoming uneasy, and finally her eyes glazed over, unable to eat anymore, watching Fang Jie eat...

Finally, it burned out and collapsed.

It's crying! My wallet is crying! How did your appetite grow so horribly?!

Ignoring the resentment, Fang Jie happily ate it along with his meal; he had won again.

He moved freely throughout St. Freya Academy, not even bothering to pretend. Theresa would quietly grant him special privileges, and he would quietly accept Anna's arrival. He would even quietly reimburse the cafeteria when it was emptied out...

So Kiana, there's no need to cry.

Even if it looks like it's burned out, collapsed, and turned into a paramecium... your wallet isn't empty, but rather there will be a different way for Theresa to stay by your side—whether she gives it to you or not is none of my business.

It's fun.

In situations like this, it's best to run away as quickly as possible.

"brush!"

He ran away.

About thirty-six hours after leaving Yalilo-VI, Fang Jie returned to the Star Train in the landing capsule that had been specially left for him.

As mentioned earlier in the control experiment, he performed the folding maneuver on the surface of Beloborg, and now he needed to hurry back to the vehicle.

……

……

—The observation car!

The background is the cosmos, where even the stars are not particularly bright in the endless darkness. Occasionally, a meteor streaks across the field of vision, leaving a trail of light, and some even crash into the star train with a crackling sound like hail.

It's amazing; this sound must have been intentionally designed.

Uncle Yang is on duty here, along with Pam, who is squatting in front of a very simple-looking testing instrument, looking very focused.

Or perhaps Pam didn't really want to see Fang Jie wearing an anime costume?

Walter rubbed his temples, giving a not-too-bad-looking expression to the recurring 'hallucinations'. He roughly knew what Fang Jie had done, including Bianca in the sky not speaking and Kiana on the ground wanting to have her period.

That day, those who arrived late missed out on the cafeteria food...

"Welcome back. Judging from your expression, everything went well."

"Yes, everything is going well so far. I brought a gift. Don't worry, it's not the Otto Spinal Sword. I know you don't want it, Uncle Yang, just knowing I have it is enough. Ta-da! It's a set meal from the St. Freya Academy cafeteria!"

Fang Jie shows off the souvenirs; everyone gets one.
