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

Witnessing my students' growth is my duty as a teacher!

"Himeko——"

With her lips slightly pouting, Theresa looked sullen, but she didn't say anything more. She just silently gripped a metal card in the pocket of her nun's habit.

As Theresa ran her fingertips over the card, she could clearly feel a circular protrusion on it.

It was the mark of a ringed snake.

In the examination report for the Moon Throne, she actually concealed something from Himeko.

After carefully searching the warship from Anti-Entropy, she also found another item related to [Walter White]—a small box of red potions.

According to the message inside the box, these potions are used to completely transform the Valkyrie into an ordinary person, and the entire treatment also has the effect of restoring hidden injuries.

Although the physical damage from her Valkyrie days cannot be fully repaired, she can live a normal life for the rest of her life without any problems.

But... that's the result that can only be achieved after a whole course of treatment, and the amount on the Moon Throne is only half of what's mentioned in the instructions.

Undoubtedly, this is another bait thrown out by Walter White.

Moreover, it was a bait that she couldn't refuse.

You either make a deal with the devil and submit to him, or you watch helplessly as your closest friend dies before your eyes.

She could only choose between hell and heaven.

Chapter Ten: The Far East Ace and the Fated Maid Test Each Other

With the Moon Throne incident coming to an end and the Valkyrie Level Exam drawing ever closer, the atmosphere within St. Freya is gradually becoming tense.

It was in this tense atmosphere that Rita Losweiser, an S-class Valkyrie belonging to headquarters, arrived in the Far East.

“Rita Losweiser…”

At St. Freya Airport, watching the graceful figure stepping down from the warship, Himeko frowned almost imperceptibly.

On the surface, the other party came to St. Freya to examine the Moon Throne.

After all, judging from the various data, the technology used on the Moon Throne has surpassed that of the most advanced warships of Destiny, and they cannot afford to underestimate it in the slightest.

But in reality... both she and Theresa knew that the other party had an ulterior motive for this trip.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting, Himeko-senpai."

Rita bowed respectfully as she approached the red-haired Valkyrie, her attitude so sincere that it didn't seem like that of an S-rank Valkyrie at all, but rather like that of an ordinary junior colleague.

“Miss Rita, you flatter me. It’s my job to receive you, and I didn’t have to wait long.” Himeko shook her head, her expression neither humble nor arrogant. “You must have already read the report about the Moon Throne, right?”

"So, Miss Rita, would you like to rest at the academy for a while, or go straight to see the Moon Throne?"

Although she knew the other party's intentions were impure, St. Freya, as a subordinate organization of the Church of Destiny, still had to maintain the proper demeanor.

Before they actually cause trouble at headquarters, they must maintain the appropriate respect for the headquarters staff.

"Let's go check out the Moon Throne first. I'm also very curious about what kind of 'gift' Anti-Entropy gave us."

Rita glanced around but couldn't find the white figure she had been longing for. A hint of disappointment flashed across her face, but she still maintained the demeanor befitting a Valkyrie.

As a professional Valkyrie, she wouldn't give up just because she couldn't get close to the lovely headmistress.

"Please come this way with me."

With a slight nod, Himeko immediately led the way.

Due to certain dismantling requirements, the Moon Throne was not placed in a regular parking spot.

Even if Theresa's agreement with Einstein seems reasonable, who can believe that anti-entropy wouldn't resort to other tricks?

Therefore, St. Freya's decision was to disassemble the entire Moon Throne system and transfer it to the Hyperion.

In any case, the most crucial thing in the entire warship is the Moon Throne system; everything else is just icing on the cake.

Given the low level of trust between them, this is a solution that both parties can barely accept.

Following Himeko through St. Freya, Rita watched the young students hurrying along with their books and said with a slight smile, "Speaking of which, the annual Valkyrie Rank Exam is almost here."

"It's just kids playing around."

Himeko waved her hand and said casually.

In St. Freya, the Valkyrie Rank Exam is the most important assessment for students' academic performance throughout the year.

However, on a grand scale, the best result of St. Freya's assessment is only two or three A-rank Valkyries a year or so.

At the Destiny Headquarters, the number of newly added A-rank Valkyries is more than ten each year.

Ultimately, the students of St. Freya are still only in reserve, not officially recognized Valkyries.

"But didn't we get through it the same way?"

These children are destined for the future.

Rita smiled and spoke in a gentle and sincere tone.

Himeko couldn't help but glance at the maid, feeling as if the maid was deliberately conveying something.

Looking at the other person's curvaceous face, Himeko nodded without saying a word in rebuttal.

If headquarters behaves itself and doesn't try to make any big splashes, she'd still be happy for these kids to become the future of Destiny.

Even if the two sides have differences in their ideologies, it is not something that is absolutely irreconcilable.

As long as both parties are willing to communicate, they can always find a point of agreement.

However, the problem is that some people might not follow the rules.

"We've arrived. The Moon Throne is just ahead."

Before long, after walking a short distance, Himeko pointed to a huge warship in the repair factory ahead, surrounded by various robotic arms and already partially dismantled, and said.

"Wow, this Moon Throne is truly magnificent!"

Looking at the giant warship that was nearly 400 meters long, Rita couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Even for a Valkyrie, four hundred meters is not a long distance, but a four-hundred-meter-long floating warship is a spectacle in Schicksal.

Since it's something that's going to go into the sky, the smaller the floating warship, the better, provided it meets the usage requirements.

Therefore, the average length of the Destiny Floating Battleship is less than one hundred meters.

"However, does Lady Theresa really intend to dismantle such an advanced airship?"

Looking at Himeko beside her, Rita asked with a smile, her wine-red eyes narrowing into slits.

"After all, it's something that reverses entropy; who knows what they might be up to?"

Himeko shrugged and said helplessly.

Well, although Destiny and Anti-Entropy have formed an alliance on the surface, the actual situation is... well, you know what I mean.

Therefore, the excuse of distrusting entropy is quite effective in front of headquarters.

At the very least, even if the Moon Throne were delivered to the Schicksal headquarters, the only fate of this warship would be to be dismantled into parts.

Who would dare use a warship, a highly sophisticated and easily concealed weapon developed by the enemy?

What if the enemy has hidden a self-destruct program in their operating system, and it causes an internal explosion during combat?

"Really? What a pity..."

With a smile and a soft sigh, Rita, led by Himeko, walked into the warship.

Although the Moon Throne is being demolished, some of its interior can still be visited.

Leading Rita through the warship's living quarters, medical area, and work area, and explaining things that were difficult to describe in the report, Himeko spent a long time helping her complete the review of the Moon Throne.

After all, in terms of sheer size, the Moon Throne is the largest floating warship ever built by humankind.

Putting aside other things, Anti-Entropy is quite generous in this regard.

It's unclear whether the other party will be so angry that they want to hit someone after learning that the Moon Throne was destroyed without even carrying out a single combat mission.

Himeko suddenly thought of it.

Upon arriving at the final stop of the review mission—the main control room—Rita glanced casually at the ground in front of the control panel, which was no different from the rest of the room, and nodded in conclusion: "It's a rather advanced warship. I wonder why Anti-Entropy ignores it."

"Well, I guess there's something wrong with the entropy system."

Himeko casually explained, while secretly glancing at the spot where the Seven Thunders of Purification had originally been, feeling a sense of relief.

Since they dared to let Rita inspect the Moon Throne warship, they must have hidden away the real contraband, such as the Apollo mech.

Even the Seven Thunders of Purification... although she still couldn't find a way to pull out the sword, that didn't stop Saint Freya from prying the Seven Thunders of Purification away along with the floor below.

The Moon Throne can be exposed, but Saint Freya's private contact with Anti-Entropy must be kept secret.

St. Freya cannot give headquarters an excuse to launch a preemptive attack.

"What Senior Himeko said is true. The Anti-Entropy situation has not been stable during this period."

Upon hearing this, Rita nodded in agreement.

Even with the world's most powerful fighter, Walter White, as their leader, Anti-Entropy is far from being truly united.

Especially after Destiny learned the truth about [Walter White] and tested Anti-Entropy several times, the enemy became even more unstable.

After realizing how powerful their leader was, Anti-Entropy was indeed invigorated and arrogant for a while.

However, after gradually realizing that Walter White didn't care about entropy at all, the enforcers of entropy began to feel uneasy.

[Walter White] is the guardian of anti-entropy (×)

Walter White is the ultimate parasite of Anti-Entropy (√)

With a leader like this who holds a position without doing any work, it's not even as good as the previous Walter Yang...

Gradually, such voices emerged within the anti-entropy system.

Despite the numerous dissenting voices, Walter White's strength is undeniable, and no one has dared to openly declare their intention to dethrone him as leader.

Thus, under the great banner of the leader [Walter White], Anti-Entropy gradually descended into chaos, with factions rising up, people outwardly complying but inwardly defying, and each going their own way... in short, it was as chaotic as it could possibly be.

This is the biggest drawback of the anti-entropy executor system.

Without strong and effective leadership, a large organization can quickly fall apart.

Unfortunately, even though [Walter White] was powerful enough, the other party had no intention of unifying Anti-Entropy.

With the other party occupying the position of leader, even if others have the strength, they will have to consider whether they can withstand the gaze of [Walter White].

This is the situation inside Anti-Entropy, which is why Saint Freya dared to dismantle the Moon Throne after obtaining it, without worrying about angering Anti-Entropy.

Those in the know understand that even though Walter White is the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, he and Anti-Entropy must be calculated separately.

In most cases, as long as you don't push entropy too far, you don't have to worry about a white mask popping up.

"In this way, the examination of the Moon Throne is complete."

After taking one last look at the still-lit main control panel screen, Rita closed the small notebook she was using to take notes and said...

"This warship should be fine, right?"

Ji Zi frowned and asked.

Although I know this S-rank Valkyrie didn't come for the Moon Throne, I still have to put on a show.

“Of course, the Moon Throne can be completely handled by the Far East Branch. Bishop Otto believes you have the capability.” Rita nodded and said with a smile, then added, “There’s one more thing. I would like to observe St. Freya’s Valkyrie Rank Assessment this year. I wonder if Senior Himeko would be so kind as to grant my request?”

The fox's tail is showing!

Startled, Himeko thought for a moment and then slowly shook her head, saying, "Miss Rita is a very busy person, so there's no need for you to trouble yourself with such a small matter."

While it's reasonable for headquarters staff to inspect St. Freya's teaching situation, it's hardly the place for an S-rank Valkyrie to take action, is it?

"Senior Himeko is too modest. St. Freya is full of talented people these days. Even Rita has heard of some of the students' names."

Therefore, I humbly request that Himeko-senpai grant Rita's small request.

With a smile, Rita bowed solemnly, her attitude sincere.

Ji Zi: “…”

Now that you've put it this way, do I still have a chance to refuse?

Unable to suppress a clenched tooth, Himeko forced a smile and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Then, please take care of me during this time, Ms. Rita~"
