Could You Give Your Teacher a Little Less to Worry About?

(No buts! He killed you! He caused the Honkai! He harmed everyone in St. Freya! He shows no remorse—and I want to chat with Teacher Liu! Let's kill him quickly!)

"Alright, old friend, this isn't the place to talk..."

(Do you still trust this guy?! Teacher Liu is right here! Knock him down first, then leave the rest to Teacher Liu!)

(He is the most evil person on earth; his plot must be stopped.)

(Now is the best opportunity, isn't it?)

(He destroyed Kiana and turned her into a monster.)

(He killed Himeko; without him, that captain wouldn't have had to sacrifice everything.)

(He also took Cheng away from you... He thought you had forgotten everything, but you haven't.)

A somewhat familiar name flashed through my mind.

(Now that you can remember everything, nothing can stop you anymore. You can... be whole again.)

(First you need to...)

(Kill him!!!)

Fu Hua walked slowly but firmly toward Otto.

Otto wasn't a slow-witted person, so he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, old friend, I—"

Fu Hua didn't give him a chance to continue.

He grabbed Otto's face and pressed him against the laboratory wall.

The lingering smile on Otto's face hadn't yet turned into confusion.

(How tragic...)

(He deserves it.)

(La la la~)

With her hand pressed against Otto's face, Fu Hua slowly raised her fist.

BOOM!

(That's it!)

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Phew... that feels so much better."

Looking at Otto, whose head had been completely flattened, Fu Hua's face revealed genuine pleasure.

"What's wrong, Otto? Where did that arrogant look on your face go?"

"I'm having a great time too."

Liu Bai only spoke slowly after watching the entire play.

Seeing the person who used to throw shit at him every day get beaten up, Liu Bai felt genuinely happy.

"However, this Soul Steel body was already destroyed when you threw your third punch."

"Teacher Liu, are you willing to talk to me now?"

Fu Hua's face lit up with a childlike, excited smile as she moved closer to Liu Bai.

"How was it! How was it! Did you enjoy the sound of those punches I just threw?"

"Very nice."

Although Liu Bai felt that Shibao was getting too cocky, he couldn't bring himself to discourage her, so he simply offered a few words of praise.

... Perhaps this is also a form of grandparent-grandchild affection?

Even though it was a very simple compliment, it only amplified Fu Hua's excitement and pride.

"Right! That's the 'thump—! thump—!' sound. I used all my strength, so the sound was definitely full of power!"

Fu Hua swung her fists at the air a few times, as if still savoring the feeling of her fists hitting Otto's face.

"You didn't see how dumbfounded Otto looked just now! I'll remember that expression for ten years!"

"Alright, alright, Otto's already been flattened, there's no point in talking about it anymore. How about you tell me what you're planning to do next?"

Seeing that Shibao seemed determined to continue the topic, Liu Bai quickly interrupted.

"Hmm..." Seeing that Liu Bai seemed a little impatient, "Fu Hua" wanted to say a few more words, but she obediently shut her mouth.

"Next step... next step... how about turning the whole Schicksal upside down! Otto is definitely not dead! Watch me wreak havoc, where can that bastard hide now!"

After a moment's thought, Fu Hua rubbed her hands together and said, eager to get started.

"Once we catch him this time, I'll beat him up in a way that will make you, Teacher Liu, even happier!"

"...Forehead."

Liu Bai inexplicably felt that Shibao was like a child who discovered that his parents liked something and kept doing it in order to get praise.

... Okay, Shibao is indeed a child.

However, his desire to beat up Otto was merely a perverse pleasure, since killing Otto would be extremely difficult.

"What's wrong... Teacher Liu, you don't agree?"

Fu Hua's expression instantly turned timid, while she pitifully glanced at Liu Bai's face.

... Playing the victim is against the rules.

"... Apart from Otto, you cannot kill anyone, and any injuries must be limited to minor ones. If you agree to this condition, you can go and cause chaos in the Schicksal."

"Understood!"

Shibao's expression instantly became excited again.

She was startled; she almost thought her suggestion had displeased Liu Bai.

Liu Bai, who had agreed to the request, sighed inwardly.

I knew I shouldn't have agreed to this impulsive idea, but I couldn't resist agreeing to it when I saw Shibao pretending to be pitiful...

Using Fu Hua's face to feign pitifulness is just as irresistible as Mobius's coquettish behavior towards him.

... Have I become one of those parents in the news who spoil their brats?

No! Absolutely not!

"Hua, if you forget these conditions by then, I won't have you as my student anymore," Liu Bai added sternly.

I have to teach this brat a lesson, no matter what.

If I were to completely ignore Shibao and let her play freely, what would be the point of being her teacher?

Of course, everything should be done step by step.

Fortunately, it was Otto's stuff that was smashed, so Liu Bai wasn't bothered at all.

"Eh? Oh, I know! Anyway, they're all just a bunch of worthless junk! Don't worry, Teacher Liu! I can do anything!"

Startled, Fu Hua quickly patted her chest and assured him.

No matter what, I absolutely cannot let Teacher Liu dislike me!

And we must leave an even better impression on Teacher Liu!

Thinking of this, Fu Hua's eyes lit up, and an idea immediately came to her mind:

"My only target is Otto! As for those unreasonable Valkyrie, I can just knock them out! Don't worry, Teacher Liu! I guarantee that none of them will be hurt!"

(If I complete this task even more perfectly, I'm sure I'll get praise from Teacher Liu!)

... My competitive spirit has inexplicably increased.

"By the way! Teacher Liu, Otto should have a lot of spare soul steel bodies. Don't you need one too? Wait here, I'll snatch one of the best for you in a bit!"

"..."

Should I say that Otto's perfect backup body is already one of my own?

Chapter 107 Can you please give me a break from my teacher's worries?

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Level two combat readiness!"

As Shibao forcefully broke down the laboratory door, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire Schicksal.

"Target area B3, execute Emergency Plan No. 12!"

The Valkyrie urgently called out over the loudspeaker.

Unfortunately, Otto transferred Durandal away this morning, leaving Schicksal Headquarters with... well, not really any useful Valkyrie.

"How come it's only level two? Who does this bastard who sounded the alarm think he is?!"

Shibao showed a displeased expression.

"At least give me a level 100 character, right?"

"..."

No, normally no one would set up an alarm of this level... especially since this is the Schicksal Headquarters.

The number of times it has been breached in history can be counted on one hand—although it was breached four months ago.

"But then again... this thing is really useful."

Fu Hua casually toyed with the crimson feather in her hand, and then knocked out a Valkyrie who was passing by her.

Without a doubt, this is the God Key: Feather of the Wind.

Incidentally, this feather was actually found on Otto's body.

"But it's hard to understand why I would leave something like this for Otto back then."

"I wouldn't mind if you, Hua, took a good look back."

"I have too many memories to keep track of. These little details can wait. Now, Teacher Liu, all you need to do is watch how I turn the entire Schicksal Headquarters upside down!"

Shibao clearly showed extraordinary enthusiasm for the home-destroying activity.

"Now that we've successfully blown up Area B3... let's randomly pick another area and wreak havoc."

Shibao spread his arms and straightened his back like the protagonist on a stage.

"So, Teacher Liu, in the next area, would you like to see me smash those things to pieces with my fists, or give us a spectacular fireworks display?"

"..."

Liu Bai looked at the excited Shibao and felt a bit of a headache.

Although I had prepared for this for a long time, I feel it more acutely now—my path in educating Shibao's name) may be long and arduous...

"Whatever makes you happy."

Liu Bai sighed. Well, he had absolutely no experience in disciplining unruly children.

"I knew you loved me the most, Teacher Liu! I'll choose section A3 next!"

Shibao excitedly made his decision.

As for those Valkyrie? With Feather of the Wind and a bit of her own abilities, she was practically invisible in Valkyrie eyes.

So...

"Warning! Warning! Unknown detected—"

Snap!

The two autonomous reconnaissance aircraft that emitted piercing alarms were instantly destroyed by Shibao.

"Eh... Is Feather of the Wind useless against artificial intelligence?"

"Because it's not the same operating method, right? This kind of low-level artificial intelligence doesn't have anything like consciousness—Hua, have you forgotten what I taught you back then?"

"Huh? Which... uh, those physical and mechanical things?"

Fu Hua scratched the back of her head somewhat guiltily.
