Sen~ior~ is~ amazing! (cont.)

"Meow meow meow meow!!!! (I don't want to die! I'm very useful! Give me a chance! I will redeem myself!)"

After wiping the smile off his face, Lin Yu suddenly rebuked Stan in a cold voice.

"Okay, shut up."

Seeing Stan cover his mouth with his paws, Lin Yu activated the Phantasm Lantern Barrier on the cat without hesitation.

If it were at any other time, Lin Yu would need to expend some power to activate the Phantasm Lantern Barrier against an Emperor-class Honkai Beast that still had the strength to fight.

The problem is that Stan, whose heart is now dominated by fear and the will to survive, is unlikely to have the same unwavering spirit as the tough cat.

Secondly, due to its survival instinct, it felt that it absolutely could not provoke Lin Yu a formidable enemy.

To avoid provoking Lin Yu with his cautious actions, Stan dared not harbor any suspicion towards Lin Yu at all.

Because of his fear and his reluctance to be on guard, Lin Yu felt that hypnotizing Stan, despite its extremely high energy level, was not much different from hypnotizing an ordinary cat.

Ha, so cowardly...

It's no wonder that this cat, who was an enemy of the main characters, managed to survive until the Finality and even eat and drink well.

After easily invading Stan's consciousness with the Phantasm Lantern Barrier and confirming that the other party was truly surrendering, Lin Yu directly rewrote the other party's cognition with the Phantasm Lantern Barrier.

Stan's choice to abandon darkness and embrace light is certainly commendable, but the problem is—if it can betray the World Serpent now to survive, it might betray Lin Yu in the future to survive as well.

This guy is different from Siegfried, who helped him; they were enemies from the start.

Using the Phantasm Lantern Barrier on this cat to turn it into Emperor-class Honkai Beast that will protect Kiana no matter what, Lin Yu wouldn't feel any guilt that he shouldn't have.

"Okay, just be a good boy and listen to me."

After completing the cognitive rewriting, Lin Yu smiled and placed Stan on the ground.

"If Kiana encounters any danger, you must protect her, understand?"

"Meow (Your subordinate obeys)!"

At this moment, Stan had completely submitted to Lin Yu, as if to swear allegiance, tore off the communicator on his body with a paw, and then made a gesture that an ordinary cat would not make towards Lin Yu.

Seeing Stan on the ground raise his forelimbs and salute, Kiana, who had just been very angry, suddenly burst out laughing.

"This cat... it's quite obedient."

"Ha, if it dares to disobey, I won't leave a single scourge behind."

After confirming that Kiana was alright, Lin Yu spoke to Kiana.

Turn around.

"I see."

After placing his right hand on Kiana's back armor, Lin Yu looked at Kiana's [Domain Armor: White Comet] and began to enter the states of the skills "Mirror Mind" and "Precision Operation".

Using his Precision Operation skills and a calm mind, Lin Yu transferred the Honkai Energy within his body into the armor worn by Kiana.

Meanwhile, Kiana, who had no idea what Lin Yu was planning, saw her armor instantly fill with energy and then...

—Lin Yu, who was not much different from her before, now seems to be falling further and further behind her.

Back in Changkong City, Kiana was also a "experienced baby" who was carried by Lin Yu, but at that time Kiana only felt that Lin Yu had plenty of experience.

Aside from Lin Yu's punch that shattered the ground after all that effort, Kiana believed she wouldn't lose to Lin Yu in terms of physical attributes and combat experience against Honkai Beast.

But now, only forty days have passed.

Leaving aside Lin Yu's previous performance, this time, when Lin Yu charged Kiana's White Comet, Lin Yu saw a deeper level of difference between the two.

For a Honkai Energy Warrior, the level of energy control is also a very important aspect.

Kiana felt that she definitely couldn't do something like directly mobilizing Honkai Energy charge the White Comet battlesuit.

Directly mobilizing Honkai energy Honkai Energy charge the armor will damage it if the energy intensity is too high, and will result in a slow charging speed if the energy intensity is too low.

However, Lin Yu's quick and efficient energy recharging directly showed Kiana one thing—not only was his Honkai Energy strong and plentiful, but his control over this special energy source was also far superior to Kiana's Honkai Energy, who once considered herself a 'genius'.

If I weren't a descendant of the Kaslana and Sania races, wouldn't the gap between me and my senior be even greater?

Just moments ago, Kiana was almost moved to tears by Lin Yu's arrival.

But now, after calming down and discovering the 'real' Kiana, she finds herself a little vulnerable.

What am I thinking?

Because my senior got stronger so quickly, I actually became a little bit...

Am I jealous of my senior?

"What's wrong?"

After helping Kiana recharge, Lin Yu looked at the suddenly quiet Kiana and asked Kiana calmly.

"I thought that after my cool entrance, you would hug me and shout 'Senior, you're awesome!'"

"You've become so quiet and reserved. Sigh, this hurts me a little."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Kiana, who had come to her senses, actually walked calmly to Lin Yu's side and gently hugged Lin Yu.

"Senior, you're so awesome—are you satisfied now?"

This idiot! Even if you see that I'm not feeling well and want to change the subject to stop me from being disappointed, you could at least change your tone a little.

"Okay, enough joking around."

Kiana, having released Lin Yu, spoke to Lin Yu very seriously.

"Yuno is still fighting a strong opponent over at the training ground, so don't waste your time on me, senpai."

"I am a genius of the Kaslana clan— "

"Come on, if it weren't for me coming over just now, who was almost killed by a cat?"

At this moment, Lin Yu decisively interrupted Kiana and said to Kiana in an annoyed tone.

"When you encounter danger, you should do the same thing as before: don't be reckless, run if you need to."

"If running away can save you from death, then so what if it's shameful?"

Yes~

After seeing the girl utter the word so perfunctorily, Lin Yu didn't say anything more.

"I'm going to find Yuno. You can contact the others."

"Especially Major Himeko. The Far East Branch is in complete chaos right now. Without her in charge, the casualties at the St. Freya Academy will definitely be high."

After saying that, Lin Yu took a step forward and rushed towards Yuno's direction.

Kiana glanced at Lin Yu's departing figure, then at Stan, who was still saluting on the ground, and shook her head with a wry smile.

My senior only needed one punch to make this cat submit obediently, and yet I was just now getting jealous of him because of all sorts of trivial things.

Honestly, ever since I arrived at the St. Freya Academy, my thoughts have been in complete disarray.

Those thoughts that shouldn't have popped up... tsk, I wasn't as bored and weak as I am now in the past.

It doesn't matter if I can't defeat the enemy. Even now, there are things I can do.

First, contact Himeko; she should be able to find out about the attack on the entire St. Freya Academy.

If we can figure out exactly where the problem lies, then if I take this cat and start our operation, maybe we can take care of the enemy before the other students are attacked.

Don't overthink it. Before you start thinking too much, get yourself moving.

I'm only slightly behind my senior. If I just work harder, I'll surpass him sooner or later, and then, on that day...

—This young lady is determined to kill him! No, what am I thinking?!

Upon realizing that a terrifying thought had suddenly popped into her head, Kiana suddenly covered her head in slight panic.

Just now, not only did this thought, which she could never have had, pop into her mind, but she also saw some images that she seemed to have no memory of, which suddenly flashed through her mind.

When faced with things they don't want to face, it's easy for people to fall into self-deception if they haven't made up their minds.

At this moment, Kiana shook her head and attributed it all to things like "I was very tired from training all day" and "I was a little confused from being scared just now," which were not the key issues at all.

Stan, standing to the side, watched Kiana's sudden change in expression and felt a deep sense of apprehension.

As a coward... well, as a brilliant cat, Stan's ability to read people is actually maxed out.

Just now, it saw Kiana's pupils turn into a murderous, shimmering gold for a fleeting moment.

Moreover, this little girl exudes a sense of oppression that only a superior can exert on a subordinate.

This sense of oppression was different from the oppression that the man had exerted on it.

To Stan, Lin Yu was a 'powerful master to whom he had to submit,' while Kiana Stan had just met, was a 'master to whom he had to obey.'

This little girl seems to have many secrets about her.

I used to think that once I reached the Emperor-class, I could show off my power outside.

As a result... oh well, I guess I'll just have to play it safe.

This world is too scary. Being a kitten is actually not so bad.

Let the Jackal and Gray Serpent handle the fighting themselves; I'm not going to put up with it!

Training ground ruins

In the ruins of the training ground, Yuno, already covered in wounds, dodged a fatal attack in a very undignified rolling motion.

"Haha, all that dodging and weaving, where did your initial arrogance go, you counterfeit?"

Seeing Yuno covered in wounds, the blue-haired youth who called himself Welt threw two more Gravity Ball at Yuno.

"Dodge, dodge boldly, anyway I can feel that your Honkai Energy intensity is still decreasing."

"You Simulated Herrscher are different from a real 'god' like me. Your speed of absorbing Honkai Energy and your efficiency of utilizing Honkai Energy are far inferior to mine—you really think you can win?"

At this moment Yuno used the vines to pull herself away while continuing to think of a countermeasure.

Then she regretfully discovered that sometimes, you just can't beat someone.

After engaging in battle with this Herrscher who could Gravity Manipulation, Yuno tried countless ways to launch a surprise attack.

However, now, the Honkai Energy plants she creates are directly crushed by the gravity wave, and the Honkai Energy toxins she creates cannot penetrate the opponent's Imaginary Barrier and directly hit the opponent.

Her previous predictions about the future were basically accurate, and now, facing this guy, she was completely outmaneuvered.

If this man hadn't been so carefree and wanted to continue toying with Yuno like a cat playing with a mouse, Yuno suspected she might have been beaten half to death by him.

For Yuno now, her only chance of winning is to use that forbidden method.

Yuno believes that as long as she can deliver an attack strong enough to break through the opponent's barrier, she can seize the opportunity to inject concentrated venom directly into the opponent's body.

However, this forbidden method requires sufficient Honkai Energy.

At this moment, Valkyrie Yuno, who was standing on the opposite side of the Honkai, not only could not get support from the Honkai side, but was also forced to suppress her power.

If she wants to complete this attack, she must—return to the embrace of the Honkai.

Of course, what I'm trying to say is that she should stop suppressing her Herrscher Persona let it control her body.

If that's the case, Yuno could use even more powerful moves and more terrifying venom with the full support of the 'Honkai God'.

However, even if she defeats her opponent, she will still descend upon this world again as the Herrscher of Poison and begin causing destruction on campus.

It wouldn't be a problem under normal circumstances, since Theresa, Lin Yu, Fu Hua, Himeko, and others are usually at this school.

In Yuno's eyes, Fu Hua and Himeko could suppress her if they teamed up, while Theresa and Lin Yu wouldn't even need to team up; they should be able to suppress Yuno one-on-one.

However, now, Theresa is weak, Himeko and Fu Hua are nowhere to be found, and Lin Yu is unable to return from the Schicksal Headquarters. The only person in the entire school who can stop her is Mei, who is also Herrscher.

However, Mei usually only manages to fight Yuno to a standstill. To face Yuno in her Herrscher Persona form, Mei must also unleash the power of the Herrscher.

If things go wrong, it could turn into a fight between two Herrscher, both of whom would be controlled by the Herrscher Persona, ultimately leading to the destruction of the St. Freya Academy.

"Ha, you've been looking so gloomy all this time. I can tell you know very well that you can't possibly beat me."

Looking at Yuno's face, the blue-haired man suddenly stretched out his right hand towards Yuno and released a powerful gravity wave.

"You really think I'll keep playing with you? I'm tired of it, kid."

"I've figured out your modus operandi. Now—get down here obediently!"
