Let me give you a proper demonstration! (cont.)

—It's impossible for things to change just because of a few words spoken by Lin Yu in the illusion!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

But even though she hates humans, she still occasionally wants to go out for some fresh air after being locked in the Stigmata Space for a long time.

"Well said, but isn't your opinion more important than mine?"

Looking at the man before her, and recalling his behavior in the illusion, Ling suddenly asked Lin Yu a question in return.

"[Warrior] Lin Yu isn't some stupid guy who'd just die of a brain fart. You offered to let me out, so you must want me to do something for you, right?"

"Well, it's good that you suddenly have a bright idea."

Are you trying to say I'm an idiot?

"Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Looking at the bell that suddenly sprang up, Lin Yu spoke softly to it.

"My request is actually very simple—just once, you just need to lend me your core power once."

"Otto Apocalypse is indeed my boss now, but at the same time he has also become a threat to my safety."

"As someone who is afraid of death, I must find a way to kill him before he kills me. For this, the power of the Key of Erosion is necessary."

"So, now that this guy is dead, his threat to you will be gone—agreeing to this shouldn't be a bad thing for you, right?"

"... I'll think about it."

After saying that, Rin stood up from her chair.

"Heh, no rush, we have plenty of time to show each other sincerity."

After saying this, Lin Yu looked at Yae Sakura, whose expression was complicated, and Ji Lin, who remained wary of Rin, and then addressed the two people in front of him.

"Gentlemen, there's no need to worry too much. I believe Miss Ling can make the right decision."

The two people staring into Lin Yu's eyes knew very well that what Lin Yu said... was actually just a polite remark.

However, as Lin Yu's allies, the two of them would not expose their comrade's lie at this time.

After handling all matters, Lin Yu voluntarily allocated some of his power to Ling.

This power wasn't enough to make Ling drift aimlessly, but it was enough for her to move around Lin Yu in spirit form.

"... Are you serious?"

After feeling the power within her, Ling said to Lin Yu with a slight surprise.

"You really want to kill Otto that badly?"

"Of course, in order to get rid of him, I need enough power to suppress him and enough trump cards."

After gently patting Ling's shoulder, Lin Yu walked past Ling and said something to her.

"Let's forget about the grudges of the past for now."

"Solving Otto's problem wouldn't be a bad thing for either of us. Personally, I really hope you can seriously consider this proposal."

"... Hmph, I understand. I will give your proposal a good consideration, [Warrior] Lin Yu."

After Lin Yu released his powers, his consciousness immediately returned to reality.

Then, the first instant Lin Yu opened his eyes, he saw Ling, now in spirit form, truly appear beside him.

Well, her power is still very weak. After I took away her core, she will not be able to harm anyone else.

Then, in the next instant, Lin Yu suddenly froze.

Some people who shouldn't have been there appeared in his room.

Wait, what's going on here...?

Why are those two people here?

A few minutes ago in Kiana's room

In Kiana's room, Kiana, who should have been sleeping soundly in a terrible sleeping position, suddenly woke up from her dream.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

After taking a few deep breaths, Kiana covered her head, feeling a slight headache.

"Strange, what's wrong with me...?"

"That dream I just had... Damn it, why can't I remember the details?"

In her dream, Kiana felt as if she was fighting with someone.

What's really strange is that the other person didn't want to hurt him, so he was directly injured by her.

She couldn't remember the specific details, but she felt increasingly uncomfortable in the dream and was eventually woken up in fright.

"That's strange, did I... really have nightmares before?"

Kiana, clutching her head, felt completely unable to sleep.

"And what's with this sound?"

Hearing the faint footsteps coming from outside, Kiana suddenly frowned.

"That voice... it's entered the senior's room???"

In the middle of the night, we, as one of our own, certainly wouldn't go to... no, the Class President would.

But it's not just the Class President; the enemy can do it too!

In the middle of the night, if everyone is asleep, and the enemy secretly attacks using the Quantum Teleportation System, then tries to assassinate the senior...!

No, I can't just stay in this room without moving!

If it were the Class President or someone else, I wouldn't mind going over to check it out.

If they are enemies, at least I can stop them from harming my senior.

Furthermore, it cannot make too much noise.

The enemy has only just infiltrated the vicinity of the senior's room. I must follow them without alerting them!

With this in mind, Kiana also made a move.

Stan, who was already half-dead with fear, trembled even more violently after feeling the constant pressure emanating from Kiana.

Hey, why is the other one sneaking towards the boss's room too?!

Don't humans only sleep at night?

Moreover, this pressure is, in some ways, even more terrifying than the pressure emanating from the Herrscher of Thunder!

Boss, it's not that I don't want to help you, the problem is... I really can't do it!

This is terrifying. I really don't want to stay in this place for another second.

Let's move to a new home!

I absolutely must apply to move!

Himeko's house. Yuno's room

Yuno was in the room, hadn't actually slept at all.

After killing her enemy, Yuno felt a sense of complete peace in her heart.

However, even though her mind was completely at peace, Yuno still felt that she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is...

—Well, it must be because of my senior.

My problem is solved, but the senior's obsession is far more terrifying than mine.

If he continues like this, something bad is inevitable.

But there's no solution, unless...

Huh, what's going on?

Upon hearing footsteps coming from the hallway, Yuno immediately got out of bed and placed her hand on the wooden floor of the room.

Through the power of the Simulated Herrscher Core, Yuno has been diligently training in this power, has already developed new functions for this core power.

Now, she can 'see' and 'hear' everything happening outside simply by placing her hand on the wooden floor.

As for why she was able to evolve this power, she herself is not very clear.

But since I've already learned the skills, I might as well use them now.

As for Lin Yu's safety, Yuno herself is not worried.

Of all the people in the dorm, he and Theresa were the best fighters. If the enemy really made a move against Lin Yu, Yuno felt that instead of worrying about Lin Yu's safety, she should worry that Lin Yu might kill the enemy with a punch because he was woken up, which would lead to the death of the intelligence source.

Then, after witnessing everything that happened in the corridor, Yuno felt...

Ah, Kiana mentioned when I came back that the Class President had secretly gone to her senior's room at night.

Looking at it now, let alone the Class President — Kiana and Mei, you two are really anxious!

Night raids late at night, this, this, this...

Knowing that the scene would inevitably descend into chaos, Yuno decisively decided that she should stay out of it.

After confronting her own feelings, Yuno had to admit that she definitely had feelings for Lin Yu.

However, having feelings for someone doesn't mean she has to reject other people who have feelings for Lin Yu.

Everyone here is a good person, and she felt it was unnecessary for this incident to create an awkward atmosphere among them.

Moreover, if these things happened around him, would Lin Yu, who values his companions, be happy that someone was jealous of him?

Based on Yuno's understanding of Lin Yu, she felt that Lin Yu would probably only have a headache because of this.

Sigh, I'd better just watch this from the sidelines.

Senior, the reason things turned out this way is ultimately because you are too charming and don't know how to handle these things.

I can't help you with this, you...

—May you have good luck.

Mei froze completely after entering Lin Yu's room.

Admittedly, Mei, who took the initiative to attack under some strange impulse, thought she had already prepared herself mentally before stepping into the room.

However, when she looked at Lin Yu's peaceful sleeping eyes, Mei began to question whether what she was doing was really the right thing to do.

[Now you're telling me you're going to desert your post?! Coward! What are you doing?!]

But I—this is so shameless!

[No, wait a minute, I just want you to confess your feelings to him, I don't intend for you to have sex with him.]

How could you have imagined things to this extent...?

You, you, you—you actually didn't explain yourself clearly!

"You're overthinking it. I'd like to ask you—why are you, a coward, so bold in this regard?"

The thought that she had actually thought of things in such a lewd way made Mei suddenly feel her face heat up considerably.

[You—even confessing your feelings and getting a kiss is this difficult? You still want to spend your life with him?]

But Lin Yu is sleeping; it wouldn't be good to wake him up at this time...

[You didn't think of this before you came? You're a beautiful girl; it's a huge win for him if a beautiful girl asks him to meet her in the middle of the night. Why do you think he's unwilling?]

But this...
