Ling felt less resistant to him, but it hadn't completely disappeared.

Rin, who now roams around the St. Freya Academy, occasionally encounters Lin Yu, but still doesn't give him a friendly look.

Reforming the unfortunate souls who have been harmed by the precepts is not something that can be accomplished overnight. At least in the short term, Lin Yu felt that it was unlikely that he could fully master the power of the Jizo Mitama.

Moreover, eroding power is not a force that can be directly attacked.

Compared to this obscure and difficult-to-understand power, Lin Yu valued the core power on another Divine Key more.

The Key of Judgment, the Seven Thunders of Retribution, a weapon brought to the Far East Branch by Ms. Xiola, is currently lying in the Far East Branch's armory.

Dr. MEI from the Previous Era used the power of the Flame-Chaser's Judgment of Flame-Chaser's Judgment after directly connecting it to the Herrscher of Flamescion Core.

Lin Yu, a Honkai Energy warrior far stronger Dr. MEI, should have been able to unleash even greater power than Dr. MEI after acquiring the Blank Key and using it as a transit point.

While immense power inevitably comes with risks— Dr. MEI, who used the Blank Key, suffered incurable internal injuries after switching cores three times—but...

Having a strong hand and the ability to play aggressively is always better than wanting to fight but having no cards to play and getting crushed.

Now, if Lin Yu were to apply to use the chess set as a form of atonement, he thought Theresa and Himeko wouldn't stop him... right?

But when Anna saw Lin Yu preparing to leave for work again, Anna immediately panicked.

After spending the last few days talking with her new roommates, Anna realized just how outrageous Lin Yu, the "King of Curry," really was.

Bishop Otto has now given him a strict order to take a mandatory leave, but these past few days have been spent either on patrol or training, making his leave seem rather pointless.

It turns out that she went out for work today, and it would be a miracle if Anna could remain calm after seeing Lin Yu like this.

Anna could clearly feel that she was still filled with shyness.

But at this moment, the determination to save Lin Yu, once it gained the upper hand, easily overwhelmed this emotion in her heart.

I'm so tired I often lose focus, and yet I'm still working on this, and to make matters worse, no one is here today.

There's no other way, so I'll have to do it!

"Some things are okay if they take a day longer."

Having mustered her courage, Anna suddenly grabbed Lin Yu's hand and said to Lin Yu with a blush.

"Today is my day off. I'm not familiar with what's fun and good to eat in this Commercial Street. Could you take me there for a look?"

Wow, what an unexpected plot twist!

[This system thought she would be a little more reserved, but unexpectedly—she was much more proactive than the others!]

[I misjudged this one; I really misjudged it.]

Okay, please shut up. If I can't help but talk to you, people will start suspecting something's wrong.

Looking at Anna, who had mustered up her courage, what could Lin Yu say?

Rejecting the other person now... well, he doesn't think it'll make a big difference.

Anna is a qualified Valkyrie, after all. She wouldn't become a Herrscher just because someone rejected her invitation once—if she did, she'd have to be incredibly sensitive.

But...

Sigh, I can't refuse such kindness, so be it.

"Let's get this straight, I rarely go out, so if you're not satisfied with the places I take you..."

"—I definitely won't blame you!"

At that moment, Anna took the opportunity to hug Lin Yu's shoulder and smiled happily at him.

"Alright, alright, stop being so hesitant. It's just going out for a stroll, not fighting Honkai Beast. Why are you being so serious?"

Yeah, why am I being so serious?

Anna is right, it's just shopping, it should be...

—I hope nothing serious happens.

Chapter 200. Kiana Radar, Activated!

Commercial Street

On a certain road in the Commercial Street, Bronya, who had already connected to the Commercial Street's surveillance system via her brain chip, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Hmm, Bronya?"

Seeing her companion suddenly stop, Kiana turned around and looked at her in confusion.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"... I'm fine."

It's you who's in trouble, Sister Kiana.

Having received the message from the brain chip, Bronya immediately shook her head slightly and followed Kiana.

"Let's go this way."

Before launching the operation today, Bronya used her electronic skills to write some programs in advance.

Once this program is activated, the surveillance system will alert Bronya when it detects a 'member' designated by Bronya entering the Commercial Street at the entrance or exit.

Now, Bronya received a message through the system indicating that Lin Yu and Anna had just entered the southwest entrance of the Commercial Street!

It's fortunate that the entrance she and Kiana were heading towards wasn't in this direction, otherwise...

Wow, Brother Lin Yu, you...

No, it was actually the right choice for Brother Lin Yu to go out.

Even I can tell that his mental state has been off for a long time, so it's actually a good thing that someone is taking him out to relax.

This is not Brother Lin Yu.

It's not Anna's fault.

But—you could have chosen another time to talk about this (╯‵□′)╯┻━┻.

Sister Kiana and I are just about to head back now. If you go out at this time and run into us, it will be a disaster.

We have to take a longer route.

Luckily, I had the surveillance system set up here beforehand, so I let Bronya see your route—no, don't come this way!

"Bronya..."

Kiana, who had been moving forward, suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

"I feel a little uneasy."

Wait a minute, are the Kaslana clan's intuitive radar really that sensitive?

At this moment, Bronya truly felt that even after the emotional circuits were repaired, they would occasionally bring some inconveniences.

For example, right now, if Kiana were to glance back at her, she could easily see that Bronya was barely holding on, was about to lose control of her expression.

Bronya, who tried her best to keep her expression and tone calm, took two steps forward and then showed a hint of helplessness on her face.

"Sister Kiana, I don't know what you're sensing."

"But now, although your grades are almost at the passing mark, I think we still need to hurry up and go back to continue reviewing."

"You've prepared everything perfectly, but what if you're just a tiny bit off during tomorrow's test..."

"No, stop talking!"

Bronya's alarmist words immediately made Kiana shake her head, trying to shake off the strange feeling.

"I understand—we can't let all our efforts go to waste! We can't let all our efforts go to waste!"

"Yes, that's it!"

Sigh, thank goodness Sister Kiana trusts me, otherwise this would have been...

If she saw Brother Lin Yu and Sister Anna together here, she might not explode.

But now, not to mention you, even I have a bad feeling.

Before coming to the Far East Branch, Anna had met Brother Lin Yu once, and after that one meeting, she immediately launched her offensive.

If a strong attacker launches a slightly more aggressive offensive in this situation...

Sigh, if Brother Lin Yu were a little more domineering, he could have solved the problem.

But he's not a domineering person when it comes to this.

Let's take a detour first. Hopefully, Brother Lin Yu and Sister Anna won't come this way.

Otherwise—anyway, I've done my best. If something goes wrong, then Brother Lin Yu can figure it out himself.

Alas, I never expected that Sister Anna would make her move at this time—and Brother Lin Yu even accepted her invitation.

Moreover, when the Class President approached him last time, he immediately accepted the invitation...

Thinking about it carefully, has Brother Lin Yu ever actively refused anyone's invitations?

Could it be that everyone's understanding of this matter is slightly flawed?

Actually...

Doesn't he object to this?

Meanwhile, in another direction of the Commercial Street

On the other side of the Commercial Street, Yuno suddenly stopped.

"Yuno?"

Seeing Yuno suddenly stop, Mei also stopped and looked at her companion in confusion.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or is there a problem with the Herrscher Core?"

"... No, I'm fine."

But your problem is very serious, Mei.

At this moment, Yuno had already unleashed her powers as Simulated Herrscher after entering the Commercial Street.

Although her pseudo -Herrscher Authority are special powers activated by the Simulated Herrscher Core, Yuno, who is already familiar with how to use Herrscher powers, has found some 'tricks' during the time she obtained the Herrscher Core of Death.

The Herrscher Authority are essentially special forces exerted through core characteristics and Honkai Energy intensity.

In the past Yuno only had one core, so her Honkai Energy strength was limited, and she couldn't do many fancy maneuvers.

However, now that Yuno has two cores, she can use the pseudo -Herrscher Authority while simultaneously drawing Honkai energy from the Herrscher Core Death core Honkai Energy amplify the power of her Simulated Herrscher Core.

That's why she was able to see who was coming and going from the Commercial Street by looking at the plants displayed in the shops near the entrance and exit.

As for the fact that there are several entrances and exits, making it troublesome to monitor them... that's a minor matter for her.

To be honest, this was much simpler than the toxin research she conducted to torture Cocolia.

Moreover, this Commercial Street is, after all, part of the St. Freya Academy's territory.

Despite being part of the St. Freya Academy's territory, this Commercial Street doesn't actually attract many shoppers.

Furthermore, because the World Serpent might use that strange teleportation device to deploy troops, there are even fewer people with free time these days.

That's why Yuno was able to sense something was wrong the moment Lin Yu and Anna appeared at a certain entrance—after all, hardly anyone had ever come in through that entrance before.

Thankfully, Mei and I are still a bit far from the entrance, so we have to take a detour.

But I really didn't expect that.

Anna is such a proactive person.

The image I saw through those plants was Anna happily taking her senior's arm.

Although the senior's face looked calm, the fact that she didn't show any resistance meant that Anna's actions were correct.

That's absolutely amazing.

We've all forgotten this trick.
