Use Your Abyss, and Heal Their White Flowers! (cont.)

This system suggests that you can really relax a little and not be so tense.

If someone else had said that, I probably would have been moved.

But if you were the one saying that...

So what kind of relaxation are you talking about?

[Host, first, let's confirm one thing: you are human, right?]

That's right.

[So, as a teenager, you should have an extremely strong reproductive instinct!]

Look at the junior next door who's feeling emo! Your adoptive sister who's worried about you from afar! Your master who's always felt guilty towards you! Your classmate who's now in love with you and trying to become stronger for your sake! And your little sister next door who's willing to risk her life to heal you, even though she's not small in stature, she's very young!

What are you waiting for? Now is the time—use your Black Abyss to heal their Abyss Flower! Let them feel love from both body and soul! GO!

As expected, upon hearing the system's words, Lin Yu, expressionless, rubbed his head with his hand and stared silently at the wall in front of him.

Ugh, how boring.

[Host, this is so boring. Most of the other hosts in this system, after gaining supernatural powers, started refusing to eat beef after just a few days.]

[And yet you do this? Not only do you not cause trouble, but you also act like an ascetic, getting up early every day to practice boxing and studying at night—is this the life a transmigrator should be living?!]

Well said—so what about my predecessors who didn't sound like good people?

Well...

I know the answer without you having to tell me—you think this system is residing in you, right?

Please, the prerequisite for relaxing is having the right to relax.

The Battle of Finality, which was supposed to take three years, might now be shortened to one year. One year... one year is nothing!

At a time like this, you tell me, "Hey bro, you should go out and flirt with girls..."

[Isn't this so that if you were to die suddenly in the future, you'd at least have fewer regrets before you die?]

The future is indeed still very dangerous, isn't it!

[Otherwise, after all, you've already been targeted by Otto, and you just bullied World Serpent executive.]

Kevin will beat you up after he gets out, and Otto will also cause you trouble for his own plans.

You're already trapped in this vortex, there's no escape, so you might as well—

Wouldn't it be better?

[I'd rather be a dashing ghost before I die.]

Oh no, even the system doesn't think highly of me.

No, I have to roll it up even more now.

[No, no, no, this system is just joking—hey, stop it!]

Having already formed a general idea, Lin Yu cast a Phantasm Lantern Barrier.

Although the JK who overused the Phantasm Lantern Barrier in the past 'died' on the spot because she exhausted her power, the side effect of her own disappearance occurred because she used the barrier on the people around her for a long time.

However, Lin Yu was different from that girl. After implanting the Voidpower Gem Shard into his body using the implantation skill, the amount of magic power he needed to consume and the side effects he had to pay when using the Phantasm Lantern Barrier were greatly reduced.

In his mind, if he could use the Phantasm Lantern Barrier on himself, he might be able to perform some more sophisticated operations.

With the aid of Precision Operation, Lin Yu, who was already 'unconscious', could still feel the flow of magic power within his body and the barrier swirling around him, which was now radiating power.

Lin Yu undoubtedly needs more time to become stronger, but since he cannot accelerate time, he can only choose another path at this time.

The Phantasm Lantern Barrier can hypnotize other creatures, thereby altering their perceptions and constructing a sufficiently realistic illusion.

However, if Lin Yu combines the Phantasm Lantern Barrier with Precision Operation to create a state of 'lucid dream', allowing himself, the dreamer, to remain conscious while asleep, then he might be able to gain more time in the dream.

Lin Yu didn't know the time ratio between dreams and reality, but judging from his past experience of fighting skeletons in a nightmare for three days and three nights, only to wake up and find that two hours had passed, the ratio should be quite large.

As Lin Yu pondered and wove his dream, he finally regained his consciousness in the next instant.

Then— Lin Yu saw a scene that he could never forget.

"Holy crap! A dump truck!"

The moment he regained consciousness, he saw an out-of-control dump truck hurtling towards him.

At this moment, Lin Yu was clearly no longer the office worker he used to be. After a quick roll, Lin Yu easily avoided the dump truck.

After watching the dump truck crash into a wall, Lin Yu gave a wry smile.

During this busy period, he thought he had forgotten the last moments of his life.

But now, he has once again confirmed something by relying on this vehicle that exists in his subconscious.

Indeed, I am very afraid of dying.

But then again, this is St. Freya Academy, and the fact that a dump truck would appear here shows that my dream-weaving skills are still not good enough.

In his dream, Lin Yu discovered that he could actually use three special energies normally: Honkai Energy, Dimensional Force, and magic power.

He could even use the skills that the system gave him normally.

The only drawback is that, so far, he is the only person in this dream.

Oh, he specifically went to check out the dump trucks—there were no drivers inside; it was a very strange driverless mode.

Without anyone else around, Lin Yu could only train his skills and energy control abilities alone.

But for him, that was enough.

Inside the training ground, Lin Yu, who had already activated the Mirror Mind, suddenly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Sigh, I have other things to do after I wake up.

Although the system spouts a lot of nonsense every day, the tips it intersperses within that nonsense are often useful.

Look at the junior next door who's in emo—the person living next door to me happens to be Kiana.

I arrived at the scene in time today and rescued her from Stan. After returning, I confirmed that she was safe and only suffered minor injuries.

Aside from the issues with her parents, her life has been relatively smooth sailing so far.

So, where exactly does Kiana's problem lie?

Meanwhile, in Kiana's room

Inside Kiana's room, after a long and tiring journey...

Well, Stan, who had only been tired for a few minutes, felt incredibly unlucky.

It's not that it thinks there's anything wrong with switching sides to Schicksal's side.

Although it is a powerful being with the strength of Emperor-class Honkai Beast, it is essentially still a cat.

The only reward the Jackal gave it, besides the power granted by the physical modification, was a large amount of specially made cat food.

Therefore, when it attacked the Gray Serpent at the St. Freya Academy, it didn't actually have any psychological burden.

They're all chewing on cat food, so it doesn't matter where they chew it.

Although World Serpent has members stationed everywhere, the problem is, how can a hidden organization compare to a large organization like Schicksal?

Stan felt unlucky simply because the girl beside him was giving him an increasingly strange feeling.

It had seen it before; a glint of golden light flashed in the girl's eyes.

At that moment, he did indeed feel the oppression that superiors exerted on subordinates.

But this feeling, how should I put it...

If this feeling persists, Stan may gradually adapt to this sense of oppression.

Cats are essentially the same as humans in some ways—they are both very adaptable to things.

Pressure is something you get used to, and it's not a big deal.

The problem is that the pressure emanating from this little girl comes and goes, giving Stan the feeling that 'the bomb is about to explode and is becoming increasingly unstable'.

If Stan hadn't been afraid that his actions would provoke the little girl, he really would have wanted to run away.

Meanwhile, Kiana, lying on the bed, looked at the photo on the bedside table and suddenly felt incredibly depressed.

After everyone finished their entrance exams, Himeko gathered everyone together and took a group photo of the entire dormitory.

In the photo, Lin Yu still maintains his usual almost expressionless demeanor, making it impossible to understand what he is thinking.

In those thirty-odd days, Kiana didn't feel like she had gotten much stronger.

Even though she had new equipment and Stigmata, and her control over Honkai Energy had improved significantly, but...

—The gap between her and Lin Yu is really widening.

Moreover, this wasn't even what terrified Kiana the most.

She hadn't forgotten the thought that suddenly popped into her head a few hours earlier, after Lin Yu saved her.

This young lady is determined to kill him.

At that moment, that thought undoubtedly popped into my head.

I had heard Himeko- sensei say before that Valkyrie on the battlefield could at any time become Meele or Honkai Beast if their bodies were infected by Honkai Energy too severely.

After all, Honkai Energy is such a dangerous thing, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

So, I've only been officially using and utilizing Honkai Energy for a month, and I already have the tendency to become Meele soldier?

Otherwise, there's no way to explain the thought that popped into my head earlier.

My senior has always protected me, and yet, in order to become stronger, I actually had such an excessive idea.

As a warrior of the Kaslana clan, I... am truly ashamed.

Dad... why did he leave me?

He had been secretly working to protect everyone, but every time they had a chance to see him, he would choose to run away.

Is it my dad's wish that I can become strong on my own?

Or perhaps he's already disappointed in me...

Despite having made friends with companions she could entrust her life to, and with people she could never forget, Kiana now feels utterly helpless after meeting them.

Her troubles were very strange, and she couldn't confide these thoughts to anyone else.

The girl, who should have been innocent and romantic, suddenly realized that even if she cleared her mind, she couldn't erase these worries.

As time passed, Kiana gradually felt her consciousness begin to blur.

Meanwhile, Stan, standing to the side, tensed up, ready to run away at any moment.

This little girl... there's no mistake!

The only classes stronger than the Emperor-class are the Judgment-class... and the Herrscher!!!

In this eerie atmosphere, Kiana's communicator suddenly rang.

After glancing groggily at the communicator, Kiana suddenly became more alert.

"This, this name is..."

"Bishop Otto?"

After pressing the answer button, Kiana immediately saw a light screen pop up on the communicator.

"Oh, you're still up so late, Kiana."

Within the light screen, Otto gazed at the girl before him and spoke to Kiana with a smile.

"Judging from your current state... Heh, what's wrong, are you unhappy?"

Even now, Kiana has not forgotten her father Siegfried's assessment of Bishop Otto.

However, given Kiana's kind nature, it's really hard for her to feel wary of the man in front of her when faced with such a caring elder.

"No, Bishop Otto."

"Ha, although it's not a good thing for me to say this, lying is not a good habit, Kiana."
