Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

"I will try my best."

Yae Sakura nodded.

"By the way, Miss Sakura, would you be interested in becoming an executive at World Serpent?" Shihen asked with a smile, sizing up the pink-haired woman in the red hoodie before him. "As for a codename... what do you think of [Kasumi]?"

Chapter 180 St. Freya in Autumn

Wow! Oranges!

Kiana's eyes lit up with surprise when she saw the boy carrying a bag of orange-red berries as he came in from outside.

"Yeah, I saw they were selling them at the supermarket on my way back, so I bought some."

Shihen smiled and said, letting the flustered white fluffy ball take the shopping bag.

Himeko, nestled on the sofa, also turned her gaze over, her tone tinged with a touch of melancholy: "So, it's autumn again."

"Hmph! Has someone finally realized they're getting old?"

Theresa, who was waiting to freeload a meal, pouted.

"Principal, you should feel for yourself how old I am..."

With a wicked grin, Himeko immediately stood up and pounced, pinning the older loli down beneath her. Their cheeks pressed together, Theresa was speechless.

Having witnessed this scene before, he was no longer surprised. He was stunned by the sight before him. "Thank you, Captain!" he said.

The two little ones said at the same time.

"I'll go and give some to Mei too."

Nodding, Shihen walked into the kitchen.

Today it's Mei's turn to prepare dinner.

Looking at the boy's perfectly natural back, and then at Kiana who was happily devouring an orange, Seele and Bronya exchanged a glance, both feeling helpless.

They've lived in the same house for half a year, and even summer has passed, so why is this white-haired idiot still so clueless?

Hearing footsteps behind her in the kitchen, Mei smiled and said without turning around, still busy with her work, "Ken, you're back. Dinner won't be ready for a while."

Having lived together for so long, she could already recognize the person just by their footsteps.

"We're having fish tonight."

Looking at the milky white soup bubbling in the pot, Shihen smiled and offered a few orange segments to the girl's lips.

"Yes, the fish at the supermarket is very fresh today." Mei explained with a smile, then without even looking at what the boy was offering her, she bit down on it, her eyes immediately filled with surprise and delight. "It's an orange!"

"Autumn has arrived."

With a smile, Shihen glanced around, then picked up the two plates and left the kitchen without saying anything.

Having collaborated so many times, he and Mei had long since developed a tacit understanding.

Before long, several dishes were served one by one, and dinner began.

Holding the porcelain bowl, Theresa took a sip of fish soup and a happy smile spread across her face: "As expected, Mei's cooking skills are still so good, completely different from that adult who just loafs around and waits to die."

As she spoke, the nun glanced at the red-haired Valkyrie beside her.

"It seems that even the headmistress can't cook, can she?" Himeko retorted calmly. "Besides, this is my home!"

How dare a guy who only knows how to freeload think he's right?

In an instant, the two people, one tall and one short, locked eyes, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.

"Himeko-sensei, Headmistress, everyone, please eat well~"

Seele spoke up to offer some words of comfort.

Little angels are always so kind-hearted.

"If you ask me, Seele, just leave it alone. It'll be good for me to eat more."

Kiana took a moment to speak while shoveling food into her mouth.

"Speaking of which, the physical exam is in a few days, right? Seele seems to have grown quite a bit taller."

Shihen glanced at the blue-haired girl, who was already half a head taller than a certain gray-haired loli, and said thoughtfully.

Indeed, the sea of ​​quantum particles does affect development.

"..."

Bronya glanced down at her unchanged body and cast a resentful look at the boy.

"Haha... Bronya will definitely grow taller in the future."

With a polite but slightly awkward smile on her face, Seele tried to comfort Bronya.

"Well, at most eight years. I believe Bronya will definitely grow taller."

Shihen nodded in agreement.

After all, Bronya is a powerful being who can prove that 8 > 50000.

"Because women generally stop developing around the age of twenty-two."

Bronya exposed it without any expression.

If she doesn't grow within eight years, then she'll have no hope for the rest of her life.

"What about me? Have I grown taller?"

Kiana looked on expectantly, while glancing at Mei's sinful expression.

She longs to have such a broad mind.

Moreover, the book says that boys prefer bigger ones.

Thinking of this, the white fluffy ball glared angrily at the boy.

"You little brat? You'd better wait a few more years."

Himeko saw right through Kiana's little scheme, her gaze filled with disdain.

She hadn't gotten a single juicy juicy tidbit of information throughout the entire summer vacation, and she really couldn't understand what these guys were up to.

She even asked Theresa for a large sum of money to organize a two-week summer camp.

As a result... they soaked in hot springs, went to the beach, and watched fireworks, but these people didn't change at all, still doing what they were supposed to do every day.

"A physical exam..." Upon hearing this word, Mei couldn't help but show a hint of nostalgia on her face. "What does a physical exam at St. Freya include?"

In theory, every new student should undergo a physical examination before enrollment.

But... Mei was still unconscious at that time.

"Actually, it's just like a normal physical examination, except that it includes more content related to Honkai energy."

Shihen explained.

Moreover, in projects related to Honkai, Schicksal only detects the concentration of Honkai energy in the human body and the extent of physical damage, so he doesn't even need to cheat using the Key of Erosion.

He could have tricked the detection device by converging the Honkai energy within his body, something he could have done even before joining Anti-Entropy.

Although Honkai energy adaptability has been repeatedly emphasized as important, it is actually a talent that is difficult to quantify and can only be roughly divided into several levels.

As for more detailed data, that's actually not very meaningful.

As long as the Honkai energy adaptability isn't too bad, whether one can become a qualified Valkyrie depends solely on their combat abilities.

Skills honed through countless trials are far more useful than a little bit of Honkai energy adaptability.

"That's right, Mei, you don't need to worry. You will all definitely pass."

Theresa echoed this sentiment.

The purpose of physical examinations is more to record the physical health of trainees and teachers than to categorize them into different levels based on any data.

St. Freya doesn't do that kind of nonsense.

Even in terms of Honkai energy adaptability, there are only qualified and unqualified categories here.

Students who are recruited into St. Freya should all be qualified in this regard.

Unless something unexpected happens to the other party within this year, causing the Honkai energy erosion to suddenly worsen.

Thinking of this, Theresa couldn't help but glance at Himeko, whose expression was slightly stiff.

The Honkai energy erosion phenomenon is getting worse every year...

Chapter 181 Himeko's Starry Night Talk

late at night.

Turning to the last page of an energy science book, Shihen reached for his water glass to take a sip, but when he tilted it, all he found was dryness.

The boy glanced at the densely written words in the notebook beside him and nodded in satisfaction.

With such diligence, he felt he had no choice but to become the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance.

In the past six months, under the guise of history tutoring, he and Joachim have quickly become acquainted.

Upon learning that the boy was interested in the fields of mechanics and energy, the former leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance did not hesitate to give him extra tutoring.

Even though he is currently a history teacher, Joachim has earned doctoral degrees in multiple fields, so teaching history is naturally a breeze for him.

In fact, the relationship between the two was not kept secret from Theresa at all; it was conducted openly and honestly. Occasionally, they could even use St. Freya's laboratory to make some trivial little gadgets.

What is an entropy-reversing undercover agent? (Tactical lean back.jpg)

The only thing that the boy regretted was that Joachim never revealed his identity as the anti-entropy to him.

This clearly shows they don't consider him one of their own!

So Shihen decided to give the other party a little help.

Thinking about this, Shihen picked up his water glass and got up to get some water.

Even though his body is now free from this need, there's no need to change his long-standing habits.

There's nothing wrong with being an individual.

Stepping outside into the living room, Shihen immediately spotted a mature figure gazing up at the sky from the balcony.

After filling the water tank to about 80% capacity, Shihen didn't go back inside. Instead, he turned and walked towards the balcony, saying, "I didn't expect that Teacher Himeko would also be interested in stargazing."

"The way you put it makes it sound like I'm just a drunkard." With a slight reproach in her beautiful eyes, Himeko rolled her eyes at the boy and said with a tone of pride and admiration, "Not to brag, but if it weren't for the Honkai, I would definitely be a PhD in the field of aerospace by now."

"Is Himeko-sensei serious?"

Looking at the half-empty bottle of wine in the woman's hand, Shihen's eyes were filled with suspicion.

"You brat!" Himeko glared at the boy, her face showing a hint of anger. "Believe it or not, I'll give you a whole set of advanced math problems right here and now, the kind you can't sleep until you finish them!"

"I believe Himeko-sensei now!"

Shihen immediately surrendered.

"Tsk! That's boring." Hearing this, Himeko shook her head in disappointment. "I thought you were going to say something like 'I'll make sure you can't sleep...'"

Shi Hen: “…”

When you say things like that, do you ever consider that you are a teacher?

"What does Himeko-sensei think about when she looks at the starry sky?"

Looking up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, Shihen changed the subject.

Perhaps because it is far from the city, light pollution in St. Freya is not serious, and the stars that shine brightly in the dark night sky can be seen very clearly.

"What else could it be but something like the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of humanity?"

Himeko picked up the bottle, took a swig, and said irritably.

"I'm wondering, when will humanity truly be able to venture into the universe?"

Shihen shook his head.
