Chapter 83

For people from modern society with advanced brewing techniques, this method of adding ingredients is a bit... nauseating. After all, it's like having to vomit up what you've already ingested.

This could easily be considered spit wine!

This isn't some erotic novel world where you can use, or even girls' private parts, for flower arranging. Taking a sip of wine... or rather, fighting over someone's sip of wine, really seems like a very perverted act.

But now, Raiden Ryoma doesn't care about any of that.

So-called love can actually be seen as a beautified form of selfish emotion. Love is a process full of possessiveness, jealousy, and competition.

A man goes to possess and fight for everything the woman he loves.

This is absolutely normal!

Although Raiden Ryoma rationally felt that this woman was not his deceased wife, he couldn't help but feel that she bore a resemblance to her. He believed he wouldn't stop her from pursuing a happy life.

But...

'Why can't I pursue it?' In a flash, Raiden Ryoma realized something.

Since all those strange things happening around him were because of her, if he could win her over, wouldn't all those bizarre things disappear?

Um!

Sometimes people's thinking leaps so far that they never imagined they would do something so outrageous.

Raiden Ryoma didn't care anymore. He'd already had a slight feeling of being cuckolded, and now he couldn't take it seriously. Rationally, he thought he should just pursue her directly; emotionally, he should just treat her as his wife.

Now!

"I absolutely won't let you have it, kid!" Raiden Ryoma said, grabbing the bottle and yanking it hard. "This was given to me by Dr. Mei."

The Raiden Ryoma Horse pulled hard but failed to pull it out.

He noticed that Siegfried's hands were gripping the bottle tightly, holding it firmly without crushing it, and said with a forced smile, "Really? I heard it clearly just now. Doctor Mei asked me if I wanted to try it."

"President Raiden, you can't have forgotten in just a few minutes, can you!?"

Their eyes met, and that's how quickly men reach a tacit understanding.

Siegfried and Raiden Ryoma instantly understood what was written in each other's eyes.

Siegfried understood not only what Raiden Ryoma saw, but also what Mei saw.

'Alright! It must be her!' Siegfried didn't just call out that name for nothing. As he said it, he kept an eye on Mei's eyes out of the corner of his eye.

The moment he called out that name, he saw a hint of panic and confusion in MEI's eyes.

Why panic?

Siegfried already knew the answer; wasn't it obvious?

My ancestor's wife was reincarnated as Cecilia, who is now my wife. My ancestor is no longer alive, but I am still here! Cecilia is still here. Although I feel a little guilty towards my ancestor.

But now, my ancestor's wife is my wife!

This equation is now perfectly formed!

"Brother! You want to steal my wife?" Siegfried's eyes flashed with a sharp edge as he stared intently at Raiden Ryoma, saying, "This isn't your wine!"

"Keep dreaming!"

Siegfried wouldn't back down, and neither would Raiden Ryoma.

This looks like two men fighting over a special kind of dignity; the actual value of the bottle of wine is irrelevant! What matters is that neither of them wants to be cuckolded!

MEI has a headache.

She sensed that Siegfried must have noticed something, which was why he was so stubborn! But she didn't understand why Raiden Ryoma was so persistent!

Didn't we just reach a consensus?

She's not your wife!

"I said..." MEI was about to intervene and stop the two from fighting over the wine.

Suddenly, the two of them turned around and stared intently at MEI.

For some reason, MEI realized the situation was serious! The rivalry between males is no joke, whether they are ordinary wild animals or self-proclaimed civilized humans. They will fight to the death for females!

'Holy crap!!!'

Mei finally couldn't hold back anymore!

She grabbed the bottle and yelled, "You two bastards! Let go of me!"

"I... no! I'm not your wife!"

Men's tacit understanding is so direct. Even though she was disarmed because of the transformation, she could still read those things in the eyes of these two men!

Lao Tzu!

It's a man!

MEI've decided to flip the table! This is outrageous!

Is this ever going to end?! Dealing with Siegfried is already a headache enough, and now we have to deal with this Raiden Ryoma suddenly appeared and seems to be causing trouble.

She quit!

I haven't even started building my harem yet, and someone's already trying to steal my wife here!

Did I travel back in time to a Qiong Yao drama or a love triangle fortress?

Does she have to say, "You love me, he loves me, can't we live happily together?" or does she have to say, "You are both my wings?"

I quit!

Grass!

"Get out!" MEI snatched the bottle back and slammed it on the table, saying, "Both of you get out!"

"Don't stay in my lab!"

Mei lost her temper, and Raiden Ryoma and Siegfried immediately realized something was wrong. That's how men are; when scolded by women, they both become submissive.

They cowered and were kicked out by MEI.

"Whoosh~"

As the laboratory's automatic doors closed, the two men were finally able to extricate themselves from their near-bloody struggle.

They glanced at each other.

"What do you want! To steal my wife?"

Siegfried and Raiden Ryoma said in unison.

That single, unanimous statement instantly reignited the slight competitive spirit that had just subsided in the two males.

The two men were so tense they looked like they were about to fight.

"Professor Siegfried!"

Just then, another female voice broke between the two.

Himeko!

She was searching everywhere for Siegfried; today's lesson was a combat drill. Not the kind where you easily defeat weaker opponents, but a practical combat drill between evenly matched opponents.

This practical training course is designed to give new Valkyrie a more intuitive understanding of the scenarios in which high-level Valkyries clash.

This kind of training also serves to teach the Valkyrie combat skills.

She can't handle this alone, so she naturally needs to find a teaching assistant.

For example, Siegfried.

I couldn't find him in Siegfried's dormitory, but after asking around, I found out that Siegfried had actually come to the laboratory.

Himeko didn't quite understand why Siegfried had gone to the lab, but that wasn't her concern. She was just glad the person she was looking for was here.

As I rushed over, I saw Siegfried seemingly confronting someone.

Himeko suddenly felt uneasy.

As she walked forward, she spotted the man confronting Siegfried...

This looks so familiar!

'What a strange feeling...' Mei felt her right eyelid twitching! A strange feeling inexplicably crept into her heart. She had a feeling that something might have happened today.

Is there an old saying in China that a twitching right eyelid is a sign of misfortune?

'Is something really going to happen today?'

Having lived in China for a while, Mei had some understanding of Chinese folk culture. However, she quickly dismissed it; how could a twitching eyelid be associated with good or bad fortune?

Isn't eyelid twitching essentially caused by muscle contraction due to stimulation of the optic nerve?

The causes are nothing more than overuse of the eyes, injury, or stress.

How can you put it together with good or bad fortune?

Mei shook her head, trying to clear her mind of those thoughts, and refocused her attention on the dojo entrance. Today would be a very important lesson.

Mei takes this very seriously.

Of course, Mei takes every lesson very seriously.

"Splash!"

The door opened and Himeko walked in. She glanced at Mei sitting upright, Mei sitting Siegfried- legged with his head propped up, Bronya sitting like a duck, and Fu Hua sitting like a lady.

I'm fairly satisfied.

As future Valkyrie, they did not achieve the same level of order and discipline as an army.

However, their special qualities as Valkyrie have gradually become apparent.

They are all promising talents!

"Dear students," Himeko said without wasting any time, "Today we will show you a duel between martial gods."

"I hope that all students will study, observe, and ponder each technique carefully."

"A War God?" Mei was a little surprised when she heard this. She asked directly, "Himeko- sensei, shouldn't our opponents be Honkai Beast and Honkai zombie?"

Why should we learn how to fight against a martial god?

"That's a very good question." Himeko nodded slightly in approval.

Mei's directness seemed quite rude; in a normal classroom, she could have reprimanded her. But this was the Valkyrie's training ground.

She still appreciates children who ask questions directly.

"The reason is simple," Himeko said. "Just as Anti-Entropy can betray Schicksal, we can't guarantee that all Valkyrie will be of one mind with us."

"We don't need to actively pursue those traitorous Valkyrie, but we still need to be wary of them."

"Moreover, although Schicksal has Valkyrie training method."

"But that doesn't mean that Schicksal is the only one training the Valkyrie."

"And similarly," Himeko said seriously, "This world is not only home to Valkyrie; there are other organizations that can train combat personnel on par with the Valkyrie."

"If we don't prepare in advance, what if we encounter a hostile organization?"

"I don't want to see anything happen to you!"

"You bunch of newbies!"

"Alright!" Himeko said, "Now let's have our two teaching assistants take the stage!"

Two teaching assistants?

Mei looked at the door Himeko had just entered through; two people were still standing there. Mei recognized both of them, and one of them was wearing armor...

Mei suddenly had a bad feeling!

The armor had the character 'Thunder' written on it in big letters!

In the lab, MEI was cleaning up the mess. She flipped the table, utterly exhausted! She felt her skills had fooled Raiden Ryoma, but if she wanted to proceed to the next step...

It seems like I've suddenly found myself with a whole bunch of new troubles.
