Chapter 107

Ever since boarding the Hyperion, Shen Gonglin has been causing trouble. He insisted that Fu Hua hold him and let him experience the feeling of being high up. Despite being extremely afraid of heights, he still insisted on doing it. Fu Hua could feel Shen Gonglin's body trembling, but this guy seemed to love the feeling. Well, this guy is really a pervert.

On the other side, Kiana and the others looked at Shen Gonglin and Fu Hua with complicated expressions. Putting aside whether Shen Gonglin was crazy or not, seeing the interaction between the two, the Valkyrie Trio couldn't help but sigh again. This Class President really dotes on Shen Gonglin. She is willing to listen to whatever he says. He says he will hug her, and she will. They are so envious... No, they are not envious at all. They are really not envious at all.

"Hey, you three, snap out of it! Have you forgotten we're on a mission? You three better pay attention, especially you, Kiana. Don't get distracted. There's nothing to see over there."

Himeko sourly reminded Kiana and the others that not only the three Valkyrie, but even she herself was quite envious of Fu Hua. Because of their different missions, she could only tell Kiana and the others that Fu Hua and Shen Gonglin had other missions... Were they really going on a mission?

Himeko had these questions in her mind. She wouldn't talk about Shen Gonglin, since his eccentric personality had been a thing for a long time. But how could Fu Hua learn from Shen Gonglin? Where had her old, serious and earnest student gone? Who was that girl over there hugging Shen Gonglin, seemingly helpless but actually enjoying herself? How could Fu Hua have become like this? Himeko was heartbroken.

And Shen Gonglin really is a little liar. Didn't he say he liked big-breasted, slim-waisted, long-legged older sisters like me? If that's the case, why would he hang out with Fu Hua, who has nothing special about her chest? It would have been more appropriate for him to hang out with me.

"But just looking at it like this... I really can't stand it, Shen Gonglin. You like playing like this, don't you? Come on, I'll play with you."

Kiana isn't the type to hold back. The constant interaction between Shen Gonglin and Fu Hua was tantalizing her, and she finally couldn't resist any longer. Kiana stormed over, grabbed Shen Gonglin collar, and pulled him towards her. This wasn't exciting enough. If you're going to play, play something big! How about bungee jumping from 10,000 meters in the air? Kiana and Shen Gonglin had done it together before, Kiana thought it was really fun.

Kiana had a bad feeling ever since they set off. Something must have happened between Rin and the Class President Shen Gonglin. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but Kiana just had a feeling. This girl's sixth sense was exceptionally strong. She felt that Shen Gonglin and the Class President seemed to have gotten closer. It wasn't that they weren't close before, but now... she couldn't explain it. Anyway, Kiana was just unhappy. Why did Rin have to play with the Class President all by herself? Wasn't she having fun by herself?

Kiana felt that she was more fun than the Class President, in every sense of the word.

"Hey, Kiana, wait a minute. You can't joke around with Shen Gonglin like that, or he might catch you... Okay, that's it."

Fu Hua quickly reminded Kiana that the idiot had dragged Shen Gonglin away from her, and that the girl was pulling Shen Gonglin towards the hatch without any restraint. As a result, Shen Gonglin, who was enjoying that forbidden thrill, was immediately frightened. This girl's personality is actually quite like a cat, which is the conclusion Fu Hua has drawn after spending so much time with Shen Gonglin. And there is only one outcome to bullying a cat like this.

In his haste, Shen Gonglin flailed his arms and legs wildly, slapping Kiana on the head. The girl, caught off guard, was momentarily stunned. Kiana, not one to back down, then bit Rin's head, and the two rolled around in Shen Gonglin scuffle. Fu Hua covered her face and sighed helplessly. She had finally managed to calm Shen Gonglin down, and now Kiana's antics had escalated the situation. Well, it was likely to continue in earnest. Whatever, she was too lazy to appease her anyway.

No, I didn't try to coax Shen Gonglin at all; it was just basic communication.

"Class President, it feels great, doesn't it?"

Beside Fu Hua, Mei spoke softly like a ghost. She looked at Fu Hua's hands with complicated emotions. These were the same hands that had just held Shen Gonglin and played with him. She was so envious. She never had that kind of opportunity, but the Class President had been able to do that. Shen Gonglin must feel so comfortable to hold. She wanted to experience that feeling too.

"Huh? Mei, what are you talking about?"

Not having heard her clearly, Fu Hua looked at Mei in confusion. It must be her imagination. What kind of feel? The feel of holding Shen Gonglin? This is not what she wanted to experience. It was only because this girl kept nagging that she had no choice but to do this. She didn't want to do this at all. It was all because Shen Gonglin forced her.

"If you don't understand, fine... Class President, do you really not understand?"

It seemed like Mei was starting to show signs of becoming yandere. Mei gave Fu Hua's Shen Gonglin, held a meaningful gaze. After saying those words, Mei stepped forward and pulled Shen Gonglin and Kiana apart. This wasn't the first time she'd done this kind of thing, like a kindergarten aunt trying to break up a fight. She was an expert at this kind of thing. The feel of Rin was indeed very good. Shen Gonglin a bit thin, but not the kind of thin where you could feel his bones. He was like a natural body pillow. If she could, she really wanted to hug him like this forever.

"Ouch... That hurts! Are you a dog? You must have bitten me so hard you left teeth marks. Come here, I'll show you what a real S-rank is. How dare you be so disrespectful! Mei, let me go! I want to fight Kiana one-on-one!"

Clutching her head and gasping for breath, Shen Gonglin was furious and wanted to fight Kiana, but the white-haired idiot kept her distance and even made faces at Shen Gonglin. Shen Gonglin touched the teeth marks on her forehead, feeling even angrier. This girl bit her again! If she was so capable, why didn't she bite somewhere else? Why did she only bite her head? And her face too! Didn't she know that she relied on her face to find a girlfriend? Shen Gonglin knew her own personality; she could only rely on her good looks to fool naive girls, and Kiana dared to do this? She was practically asking for death!

"Come on, don't think I'm afraid of you, or that I won't dare to beat you up just because you're an S-rank. Let me tell you, I'm the strongest Valkyrie... the strongest in the future! I can easily beat up a mere S-rank, can't I? Come here, come here and I'll bite you."

Kiana, baring her white teeth, threatened Shen Gonglin with utter arrogance. While she might show some respect to the other S-rank characters, she was completely unrestrained towards Shen Gonglin. After all, what hadn't she seen about him? She was the one who picked him up and brought him to St. Freya, and now this guy was repaying kindness with enmity. What was wrong with biting him a couple of times? He had already kissed her; what was the big deal about biting him a couple of times?

No problem at all.

"Shen Gonglin, go beat up Kiana, Bronya bets you win."

The scene was already chaotic enough, but Bronya was still trying to make it even more chaotic. She encouraged Shen Gonglin to attack Kiana. For the emotionless Bronya, she wasn't as upset as Mei and Kiana. Seeing Shen Gonglin and Fu Hua's close contact only made her feel a little strange. Compared to this, Bronya felt it was more fun to watch Shen Gonglin and Kiana fight. Losing to Kiana in the assessment made this girl very concerned. Kiana had already shown off in front of her several times, and she deserved to be taught a lesson.

"Alright, you lot, shut up! If you make any more noise, I'll throw you all overboard. I'm the boss on this ship, so you all better behave!"

Hearing the increasingly noisy commotion around her, Himeko closed her eyes in exasperation. She took a deep breath and shouted, "No matter what kind of Valkyrie they are, or what kind of S-rank they are, they all have to listen to me on this Hyperion. Do these idiots even respect their teacher? Do they think I'm a pushover just because I haven't shown my teeth yet?"

Startled by Himeko, Shen Gonglin and Kiana immediately became obedient. Under Himeko's sharp gaze, Shen Gonglin and Kiana sat down like well-behaved elementary school students. Only the two of them were making a fuss; everyone else, whether it was Fu Hua, Mei, or Bronya, were quiet and well-behaved. It was just a matter of keeping an eye on the two of them.

"Honestly, you clearly want to be a lady... Shen Gonglin, if you dare laugh, I'll tie you to the window, and you'd better listen carefully to what I'm about to say... Where was I?"

The elegant young lady Murata Himeko, muttered to herself, and Shen Gonglin tried her best not to laugh out loud. Elegant lady? When she's not talking, Himeko is indeed quite elegant, but when she does speak, she's like a fiery rose. Murata Himeko Shen Gonglin like that, but if she were to say it now, she'd probably be asking for death. Shen Gonglin has already reached her limit for courting death today, so it's better to keep quiet for a bit.

"Teacher Himeko, you just mentioned the Gem of Desire."

Mei reminded Himeko, and at the same time, she quietly sat down next to Shen Gonglin. Fu Hua raised an eyebrow when she saw this, but she was too late to say anything. In the end, she could only sit on the other side with Bronya. She understood this kind of thing, but Shen Gonglin and the others still needed to learn it.

"The Gem of Desire... That's right, the Gem of Desire. This is our target for coming to the Oceania Branch. Fourteen years ago, Schicksal obtained three high-strength Honkai Energy Crystal, one of which was called the Gem of Desire. Three years ago, Schicksal launched a secret research project, hoping to create a weapon comparable to the Herrscher through research on this crystal. Unfortunately, the research failed, and the Gem of Desire has been kept in the Oceania Branch ever since. According to the message on the warship you retrieved, it is very likely related to this Gem of Desire, so we must retrieve it first."

Transforming into a female teacher, or rather, Himeko was originally an instructor at St. Freya, these newbies, while having no problem in terms of combat strength, still lacked in knowledge, especially Shen Gonglin, who hadn't been in school for very long. Although he was indeed very intelligent, there were some things he still needed to learn.

"The message on the warship... Is it from that warship that was supposed to be for me? Himeko, what were the analysis results for that warship? I'm very concerned about that."

The message on the warship immediately reminded Kiana of the warship called Moonlight Throne. After they recovered it, that warship had been analyzed by the Far East Branch. Kiana was particularly concerned about both the message and the fact that her birthday was used as the navigation code.

"What do you mean 'given to you'? You've already given it to me. That's my battleship, Himeko. What's wrong with my battleship now? Tell me quickly."

Suddenly remembering that he still had a warship he'd tricked Kiana into giving him, Shen Gonglin became interested. If he could sell the warship, he might get a large sum of money, which could perhaps help him pay back the money he owed Durandal. To be honest, Shen Gonglin felt a little embarrassed to bully her while he owed her money. If he settled the debt, he could definitely bully Durandal even more. There was no way around it; that's just the kind of person Shen Gonglin was. In order to bully Durandal with a clear conscience, he would stop at nothing to pay her back!

It's hard to tell whether this means he has principles or no choice. No one can guess what this guy's behavior pattern is. The only thing that's certain is that he's got his eye on Durandal and is ready to bully her to death.

Chapter 423 Shen Gonglin's Money-Making Plan

"Let me explain this matter. You all seem to care a lot about this warship, which is understandable, since I would also care about such things. I didn't expect the analysis to come to this conclusion. Kiana, someone I don't know has really given you a huge gift."

Before Himeko could speak, the communication screen beside her lit up, and Theresa's image appeared before everyone. The girl in the image was sitting at her desk, taking a small sip of bitter melon juice. Not only that, the headmistress loli also glanced at Shen Gonglin with a hint of showing off. If Shen Gonglin were by her side, she wouldn't dare to eat and drink in front of him, because he would definitely take it all. But now it's different. Shen Gonglin n't by her side, so she can eat and drink whatever she wants. That's how arrogant she is.

Unfortunately, Shen Gonglin Theresa, who loves bitter melon juice, is not interested in it at all. Even if you give him money, he won't drink it... If you give him money, he will still drink it. He should be able to accept it even if it's a little bitter.

"It's mine, that warship is mine, Kiana has already given it to me."

Shen Gonglin tapped on the wall to remind everyone that he had changed the message on the Moonlight Throne, and that it was now his own. He urged them to tell him how his ship was doing and whether they had found anything valuable on board. Shen Gonglin was preparing to sell it to a higher bidder.

"Okay, okay, it's yours, we all know it's yours... Headmaster, what's the situation with that warship? We hope you can explain it to us."

Himeko offered only perfunctory words of comfort to Shen Gonglin, while Fu Hua quietly reached out and patted his head to soothe him. Finally, when Shen Gonglin stopped making a fuss, Theresa continued, saying that this guy's focus was completely abnormal, and why did he insist on wanting that warship? He dared to want something that was unclear and unreasonable; this wouldn't do.

"According to the analysis, that warship wasn't fully activated before. Only one of its twenty-four engines was operating, and all its weapon systems were in a frozen state. If all the weapons on the warship were working, it could probably raze North America to the ground in a day... Hmm, you might not have a good grasp of that, so let me give you an example. The maximum power of the Hyperion Honkai Furnace is 1380HW. Now, let me calculate... The power of the Honkai Furnace on the Moonlight Throne is 12000HW. Do you understand this concept?"

On the surface, Theresa is a little girl, but in reality, she is a very powerful person. Otherwise, how could she be the commander of the Far East Branch? After analyzing the Moonlight Throne, she was also shocked. This is something that cannot be made with current technology. She really doesn't know where this thing came from.

"... So this warship we're standing on is so unimpressive? I thought it was really powerful. Suddenly it's not worth wanting it anymore."

The difference seemed enormous. After hearing Theresa's description, Shen Gonglin had a general idea. Simply put, the Moonlight Throne was the best. It was fantastic that she had tricked them into buying that warship; she could definitely sell it for a fortune. Not only could she repay their debts, but she might even have a large surplus. Then she could use that money to develop a seaside villa island...

Ugh! Why are you thinking about this kind of business again? I've already been scammed once, and I'm not going to fall for Shen Gonglin again. Maybe investing in AI mechs would be a better option?

Isn't Anti-Entropy, Schicksal's archenemy, doing this kind of business? Maybe there's a chance to get involved.

There was no way around it; Shen Gonglin was plagued by money her whole life. She must have been like that in the past. A penny can stump a mighty man. How can you live without money?

"Hey, do you have a problem with my ship? Let me tell you, this Hyperion is my warship. Even if you have a problem, you'd better keep it to yourself. 12,000 HW, is that even possible with current technology?"

Hearing Shen Gonglin's words, Himeko became annoyed. She grabbed Shen Gonglin and firmly held him in an armbar. However, she didn't really use much force. In addition, with her superior frontal armor, Shen Gonglin didn't feel any pain. It was much more comfortable than sitting in a chair. If possible, Shen Gonglin would like Himeko to carry him to their destination. To be honest, it was much more comfortable to carry Himeko than the Class President. It didn't hurt his back at all.

Fu Hua's eyes narrowed. Although Shen Gonglin hadn't said anything, the girl still sensed something was wrong. Fu Hua squinted at Shen Gonglin. Knowing Shen Gonglin as she did, she knew that this guy was probably making fun of her in his mind again. As for what he was making fun of, was there any need to ask?

Kiana, that silly deer, is actually looking at Shen Gonglin with a gloating expression. Actually, she's enjoying herself right now. Idiot, hurry up and pull them apart! What a useless teammate!

Too embarrassed to speak up herself, Fu Hua could only desperately try to signal to Kiana with her eyes. But the idiot really thought Himeko was teaching Shen Gonglin. Anyone with a brain could see that this was a fan service... No, it seems like only she noticed. Kiana, Mei, and Bronya didn't seem to realize it at all.

Is this what they mean by "I'm the only one who's sober when everyone else is drunk"? What a bunch of idiots!

Fu Hua turned her head away angrily. What a terrible teammate! If it were Rita, she would have noticed. It couldn't be because she was overthinking things.

"It's really hard to imagine that with the current technological means of Schicksal, being able to create a Honkai Furnace with an overclocking power of 1500HW is already the limit. As it stands, there is only one type of Honkai energy reaction with an intensity exceeding 1500HW."

Seeing Shen Gonglin get a lesson, Theresa felt a surge of satisfaction. She found it great to see him being bullied; he deserved to be bullied. However, while watching Shen Gonglin being bullied, Theresa wasn't idle either. The deeper she studied the warship, the more unbelievable it seemed. She had thought Schicksal's research on Honkai was already top-notch, but she hadn't expected the Schicksal Moonlight Throne to be so terrifying. What was its origin?

"Auntie, are you talking about... the Herrscher?"

The atmosphere became slightly solemn. The mere mention of the term evoked a sense of heaviness. Everyone understood what Herrscher represented. The impact of the pseudo- Herrscher, Tokisaki Kurumi, was an exception among exceptions. For other Herrscher, they were synonymous with disaster.

Chapter 424 Attitude towards Honkai

"Don't call me Auntie, call me Headmistress during the mission... But you're right, the only one detected with Honkai energy exceeding 1500HW is the Herrscher. The Honkai energy intensity observed in Changkong City when the Third Herrscher destroyed the Hyperion was 3200HW. So, to fully activate that warship, it requires the Herrscher of four Herrscher."

Theresa recounted the recently analyzed information, while Kiana fell into deep thought. Four Herrscher ... she had at least heard something similar in her dreams. The voice in her dream said that four keys were needed. Could there be any connection between these things? What exactly was that voice in her dream?

"And based on the message I left for you in the Moonlight Throne... Okay, okay, it's for you, it's for Shen Gonglin, alright? So now collecting the Gem of Desire is our goal. It's not just our Far East Branch; Valkyrie units all over the world have already started the search mission, so we... Hmm? What's going on!"

Theresa was speaking when a sudden red alert flashed on the screen, startling the headmistress. Looking at the information on the screen, Theresa's eyes widened in shock: the Honkai had occurred again.

"Theresa, what's wrong? What happened? Is it bad news?"

Himeko clearly sensed something was wrong. What had happened again? Why was Theresa reacting like this? A bad feeling spread through Himeko's heart. She felt that this mission would not be easy.

"Unfortunately, this is not good news. A severe Honkai has suddenly occurred in New Zealand, and a large number of Honkai Beast and Suicide Squad have appeared there. The Oceania Branch is basically paralyzed, and the Gem of Desire, which was kept in the Oceania Branch, has been lost. The mission has become more difficult."

Theresa frowned. This was definitely not good news. The Honkai was happening too coincidentally. Although Honkai was a phenomenon that occurred from time to time, it seemed to be happening far too frequently lately. And it happened just when Schicksal wanted to retrieve the Gem of Desire. It was too much of a coincidence.

"I see... But I remember the detectors on the Hyperion can pinpoint the direction of the Gem of Desire, so it's just a little more troublesome. Theresa, what's the casualty situation at the Oceania Branch?"

Himeko asked the question calmly, but only Shen Gonglin, who was held in her arms, could feel the slight trembling in her body. On the surface, she was very calm, but Himeko must have been very sad in her heart. Every Honkai means the loss of many lives. Every Suicide Squad... was once a person.

He gently placed his hand on Himeko's hand. Although Shen Gonglin's hand was cold, he wanted to bring warmth to others at this moment. Shen Gonglin now understood the Honkai to some extent, and it was indeed not a good thing.

"... almost completely wiped out. Not only that, many Valkyrie units that arrived in New Zealand earlier also suffered heavy losses. So, after arriving, the other staff on the Hyperion will also be responsible for rescue missions. As for you, prioritize collecting the Gem of Desire. I have a feeling that if the Gem of Desire is not recovered as soon as possible, there will be an even greater disaster."

"Yes!"

Theresa said solemnly, and Kiana and the others stood up and gave Theresa a serious military salute. This was an order given by the commander of the Far East Branch, and they naturally obeyed it!

"Is this the real Honkai...?"

Hyperion landed, Shen Gonglin looked at the scene before him and fell silent for a moment. This wasn't the first time he had faced the Honkai, but no matter how many times it happened, his heart was always heavy. The red bloodstains beneath the ruins testified to the loss of life. Compared to this, the damage caused by Kurumi was nothing. And if it were just death, that would be better; at least it would be a relief. But now, the warriors who Honkai against the Honkai had become its Honkai. It was truly ironic.

Kiana and the others went ahead to carry out the search for the Gem of Desire. Shen Gonglin and Fu Hua had not yet set off. Their task was to investigate the issue of Shen Gonglin's clothing. This matter sounded simple, but they had no clue how to do it. So Shen Gonglin and Fu Hua didn't have any specific tasks at the moment and joined the staff on the Hyperion to treat the wounded. Those staff members didn't have much combat ability, so they would have some trouble when they encountered Honkai Beast and Suicide Squad.

"Yes, this is Honkai. Let's not talk about Honkai Beast for now. After humans are infected with Honkai energy, they will most likely become these kinds of Suicide Squad without self-awareness, only with a desire to destroy. Even former comrades, all we can do now is send them off on their final journey."

With a swift slash, Himeko cleared away the surrounding Honkai Beast and Suicide Squad. While fighting, she also kept an eye on Shen Gonglin's emotions. Although he was very strong, Shen Gonglin's mental fortitude was still lacking. This was understandable, given his relatively short time with the Honkai. However, it didn't matter. With Himeko there, she could definitely help Shen Gonglin grow quickly. Although her time was limited, Himeko was serious about this.

"Is that so... Himeko, is there really no other way? Is it possible to turn them back into humans?"

Picking up a long sword at random, Shen Gonglin blocked the blade of the Suicide Squad girl. Her pale skin and blood-red eyes bothered Shen Gonglin. Just a day ago, she was a lively and energetic girl, and now she had become like this. This was really hard to accept. Shen Gonglin was never a ruthless and decisive male protagonist. If he could, he really didn't want anyone to get hurt.

"Unfortunately, as far as I know, no. The Valkyrie Code clearly states that after a companion is infected with Honkai, the only thing the companion needs to do is send her away from this world."

His voice was gentle, but his words felt cold to Shen Gonglin. He knew this was the only and best outcome, but...

"If I were infected with the Honkai, would you treat me the same way, Himeko?"

Unable to resist saying those words, Shen Gonglin looked up at Himeko. The moment the words left her mouth, Shen Gonglin regretted it. Why was she being so sentimental? Why did she ask such a question? It was really giving her a headache.

Chapter 425 Flirting with Men

"Seriously, haven't I already said this before? If a teammate loses their mind and is controlled by Honkai, you must end their life without hesitation. Shen Gonglin, I thought you were a good student, but look at you, you weren't listening in class."

The greatsword transformed into a shield against everything. While parrying the attacks with her weapon, Himeko didn't forget to glance at Shen Gonglin. This was an answer every Valkyrie knew, and it was the code of conduct for all of them. Why was that idiot Shen Gonglin asking such a question now? It's not good to be distracted in battle.

"...Oh, I see. I didn't miss class, I just..."

Although he already had the answer in his heart, Rin Shen Gonglin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when Himeko said it. Actually, there was nothing wrong with that. Even he himself was clueless about this kind of "Suicide Squad transformation." Once controlled by the Honkai, it seemed there was truly no way to save them. So, this choice was undoubtedly the only correct one. It wasn't cold-hearted; rather, it was the way to maintain a last shred of dignity for his comrades. But...

Shen Gonglin understands this principle, but if she were to actually do it, Shen Gonglin feels that she might not be able to solve it as coolly as Himeko.

"It's just daydreaming, Shen Gonglin. I can forgive you for daydreaming in class, but you can't be like this during a battle. I'm not there for every battle. And about that question you asked earlier..."

Like a whirlwind on the battlefield, seeing the enemy attack on Shen Gonglin's side, Himeko spun her greatsword and cleaved the charging Honkai Beast in mid-air. With the greatsword braced behind Shen Gonglin, Himeko looked at Shen Gonglin with a smile in her eyes. How could this idiot be distracted in such a battle? If a dignified S-rank could get injured fighting an enemy of this level, it would be truly laughable. Indeed, she couldn't treat him like a normal S-rank. Shen Gonglin is someone worth protecting.

"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let that happen, I promise."

The Honkai Beast and Suicide Squad near the Hyperion had been mostly cleared out. Himeko reached out and gently touched Shen Gonglin's face, wiping away the dust. Her fingertips were delicate and gentle. Looking at Himeko with a smile on her face, Shen Gonglin suddenly blushed for no reason. These words were really too much, especially coming from a woman like Himeko. Shen Gonglin suddenly felt his heart pounding. Was this what it felt like to be flirted with? It was really quite nice, and it felt addictive.

Is this guy shy? He's so cute! Hold on, hold on... I can't hug him and kiss him. Calm down, it's not the right time yet.

Shen Gonglin's eyes lit up at Himeko's blushing and shy expression. It was truly unfair! Shen Gonglin was already adorable, as evidenced by Himeko's instant infatuation with her. But now, Shen Gonglin's blushing touched the softest spot in Himeko's heart. It was irresistibly cute, especially considering how Shen Gonglin usually was, and now she was showing such a shy expression. Oh no, if they weren't on a battlefield, Himeko felt she would have already recovered.

Himeko teased Shen Gonglin again today, and Shen Gonglin didn't resist. Not only that, he even blushed and looked shy – something I'd never seen before... On the other side of the battlefield, Fu Hua silently watched the interaction between Shen Gonglin and Himeko, noting this in her mind. Wearing her arm armor, she smashed the Honkai Beast in front of her into pieces with a powerful punch. This fighting style was quite different from Fu Hua's usual combat aesthetics, but for some reason, only this could make Fu Hua feel a little better. What's wrong with her? This is a battlefield Shen Gonglin, you little ingrate, why are you blushing?!

Yes, that's right, he's a little ingrate. I've never even seen him blush and be shy before, yet he showed such an embarrassing side in front of other women. Fu Hua doesn't remember raising him to be like this. Shen Gonglin is utterly shameful. He should never say he's her disciple again.

"The nearby Honkai Beast have been cleared out, so I'll go scout a bit further away... Remember, this is a battlefield, don't do anything you shouldn't!"

The more Fu Hua looked, the angrier she became. She felt she was losing control of her emotions more and more over the matter of Shen Gonglin. She even felt that Shen Gonglin had the potential to become her inner demon. Fu Hua was most afraid of going astray in her cultivation, and even the martial arts she created avoided this. But now, Fu Hua felt her heart burning with anger. Out of sight, out of mind, Fu Hua left after saying this. She needed to find a quiet place and couldn't stay here any longer.

"What's wrong with the Class President?"

Watching Fu Hua fly away, Shen Gonglin was a little confused. She was fine just now, so why did she suddenly leave? Moreover, Shen Gonglin felt that the Class President seemed to be in a bad mood. But Shen Gonglin couldn't understand why. Could it be her imagination? She vaguely felt that the Class President had glared at her several times.

"They're probably in a hurry to find the restroom, Shen Gonglin. Why don't you go with them and take a look? It's hard to handle any unexpected situations if you're alone. It's better to have someone with you. The situation here is under control now, so be careful."

Himeko was overjoyed to have flirted with Shen Gonglin Himeko. In her great mood, she felt even more powerful. Although Fu Hua was also an A-rank like herself, it was too impulsive for her to go alone. Shen Gonglin needed to come along quickly. Meanwhile, the Hyperion should start its mission now: treating the wounded, providing intelligence support to Kiana and the others, and also thinking about how to flirt with Shen Gonglin next time... Himeko still had a lot to do.

"Oh, then I'll go find the Class President. Himeko, you stay here and don't move. I'll be right back."

It's really worrying to see the Class President running off alone. Shen Gonglin casually called out and ran off into the distance as well. Himeko trusted Shen Gonglin quite a bit. Although he was prone to daydreaming, he was reliable when he got serious. Putting aside everything else, Himeko was very reassured by his Angel Mode. He should be fine.

"Major Himeko, Jingu..."
