Chapter 87

"... Wake up. If there's anything you want to buy, I'll buy it for you. Don't embarrass yourself here. We're free right now anyway. Kiana, and Shen Gonglin, Mei and I will give you two a little lesson. This is very important, so you two need to listen carefully."

Having such an unambitious disciple is a disgrace to myself. Fu Hua helplessly rubbed his head. Well, what can I do? I'm his master, so I have to solve all these problems for him.

Chapter 342 Tutoring

"Listen up, you two have no shortage of basic combat skills. Not to mention Shen Gonglin, Kiana, you are also quite good at combat, so let's leave that for later. What I'm going to teach you now is the knowledge that Valkyrie must master. As we all know, Valkyrie are a combat force composed of women who have a natural resistance to Honkai... Shen Gonglin, you don't need to raise your hand. I know you're a man, and there are very few exceptions. Men can also have strong resistance to Honkai energy. And among this already very rare group, there is something even more special, and that is the Stigmata."

Without hesitation, Fu Hua immediately started tutoring Kiana and Shen Gonglin in the hospital room. There was no need to worry about their combat abilities; Shen Gonglin's talent in martial arts was probably even higher than hers, and Kiana's excellent physical reflexes far surpassed those of Valkyrie at the same stage. The only thing they lacked was the knowledge required to be Valkyrie, which wasn't a big problem. After all, Shen Gonglin's intelligence was undeniable; it seemed that talent was inexhaustible in him.

"Stigmata? I've heard you guys talk about it before, Class President. What exactly are Stigmata?"

Lacking patience for studying, Shen Gonglin sat cross-legged on the bed, completely absorbed in playing with Kiana's hair. He and Kiana were sitting on the bed while Fu Hua stood in front of them, giving them a lesson. He hadn't been paying attention at first, but the word "Stigmata" piqued Shen Gonglin curiosity. It sounded pretty impressive.

"Hehe, let me explain it to you. I knew you weren't as good as me, Shen Gonglin. The so-called Stigmata is a powerful thing that you put on your back to improve your physical abilities. That's it. You'd better remember this well."

Kiana proudly showed off to Shen Gonglin, finally able to outdo Shen Gonglin. While Rin was far superior to her in Valkyrie rank, Kiana was definitely stronger in terms of knowledge, having attended school for so long, while Shen Gonglin had only been there for a few days. Kiana had only enjoyed teaching Shen Gonglin how to play games before before before, and now she finally had another chance.

That's really powerful!

Put it on your back? To enhance physical abilities? What is all this nonsense? Why am I understanding less and less?

Shen Gonglin was filled with questions, while Fu Hua sighed deeply. Mei, standing beside her, twitched her lips helplessly. Kiana was already incredibly impressive to remember so much; they couldn't expect her to do more. That was enough, Kiana was already amazing.

"Kiana, using your understanding to teach others will only lead them astray. Jingu, listen to me... And Kiana, don't act like you've already learned everything. You're still far from it. The so-called Stigmata are things that appear in response to the Honkai phenomenon. They are a great help to us in fighting the Honkai. Come on, Shen Gonglin, take off your clothes first."

Fu Hua shook her head and offered her explanation. While Kiana's description wasn't entirely wrong, it was too vague to teach others in that way. "Let me do it myself," the Class President said to Shen Gonglin. "Practical teaching is much more vivid and engaging."

"Take off your clothes? Why do I have to take off my clothes... Hey, Kiana, don't come any closer. First, tell me, why do I have to take off my clothes?"

What's going on? Why is she suddenly being made to take off her clothes? Shen Gonglin considers herself a respectable person. How can she just do something like taking off her clothes so casually? She should have had a glass of red wine in the dimly lit room before... Right, she doesn't drink alcohol, so she should have had a strawberry sundae, and then she should have taken the initiative. This is important. In the end, she had a good time. That's how things should be, not being aggressively pinned to the bed and having her clothes ripped off by this Kiana polar bear. Why is this girl so enthusiastic about this kind of thing? How much does she want to strip her naked?

"This is to help you remember it better. We don't have a model right now, so we have to ask you to do it. After all, the clothes you're wearing are the easiest to take off... Kiana, I meant the top. If you pull down his pants, we'll use you as the model."

Fu Hua spoke with utmost integrity, and that was indeed what she thought. Kiana, after hearing Fu Hua's words, also became much more restrained. She really didn't know why Fu Hua was so interested in taking off Shen Gonglin's clothes. If she couldn't take off her pants, her top would do too. In the hands of Miss Kiana, who was skilled at undressing people, this kind of hospital gown was nothing at all.

With her top removed, Shen Gonglin sat listlessly in front of the three girls. Logically, shouldn't she be screaming? But why couldn't she muster any energy? She had only asked one question and they were stripping her naked. What if she had another question? Would they take off her pants? And wasn't this supposed to be a lesson? Why were the three of them staring at her without blinking?

If you look again, I'll charge you.

This guy... his skin is really good, he doesn't look like a boy at all. Even girls' skin isn't as perfect as his. You can tell from this that Shen Gonglin used to be a pampered young master. Looking at Shen Gonglin in front of her, even Fu Hua couldn't help but be a little distracted, let alone Kiana and Mei. Shen Gonglin isn't tall, he's only about the same height as Bronya, and now he's sitting pitifully on the white sheets... Kiana quietly covered her nose. Luckily, she didn't lose her composure too much... Eh, but Mei seems to have a nosebleed?

"Sorry, I used too thick a blanket last night and now I have a bit of a sore throat. Class President, please continue."

Mei calmly pulled a tissue from her pocket and wiped away the nosebleed. Then, Mei into a small ball and stuffed it into her nostril. As long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be. She was determined to believe that this was because she was feeling hot and bothered, and it wasn't because of anything else. It wasn't because she was imagining the feel of Shen Gonglin's touch that made her head heat up and caused the nosebleed. She was a proper girl; how could something like this happen to her? Nosebleeds... how embarrassing.

"... Mei, why don't you go to the bathroom and wash up? You're fine with this, you don't need to learn it."

Chapter 343 Stigmata

Fu Hua kindly comforted her, after all, Mei did look a bit unwell. The way she was stuffing tissues into her nostrils... it was kind of funny. Was Mei really having a nosebleed because she was feeling hot and bothered? That must be it, after Mei, she trusted Mei quite a bit... right?

They really underestimated Shen Gonglin's destructive power, and they never expected that Mei would be the one to be affected. Fu Hua would rather believe it was because of internal heat.

"No problem. I also feel that I am lacking in this area. Of course I can't miss the opportunity if the Class President is willing to help me with tutoring. Class President, don't worry about me, you can start."

Mei said this very seriously, and seeing that she had said so, Fu Hua didn't know what else to say. The Class President gestured for Shen Gonglin to lie on the bed, and she led Kiana and Mei forward to use Shen Gonglin's back as a blackboard for teaching... or rather, a whiteboard would be more accurate. It was indeed for teaching and not for any other purpose; it was just for tutoring.

"Honkai, this catastrophic phenomenon occurs every once in a while, and after each Honkai occurs, a special type of person appears. They have a substance in their bodies called Honkai resistance. Simply put, their bodies have developed resistance to Honkai. Among these people with resistance, there is an even rarer group whose Honkai resistance forms a special pattern on their body surface. This pattern is called Stigmata."

Gently placing her hand on Shen Gonglin's back, Fu Hua seemed lost in thought, as if recalling some distant memory. However, she quickly snapped back to reality. Generally speaking, once Stigmata is formed, it will condense on the back. These are the treasures left by the previous civilization to fight against the Honkai.

"Stigmata are a legacy left by the previous civilization to future generations as a means of combating the Honkai. At the end of the previous civilization, brilliant people ingeniously transcribed knowledge into gene fragments. When the gene segments in a modern human body reach certain conditions, the Stigmata will naturally appear. In addition to this kind of natural Stigmata, there is also an Artificial Stigmata made using current technology. By simulating the trajectory of the Stigmata, it is implanted into the Valkyrie's body, which can also grant powerful strength... However, the side effects are also significant. Currently, this technology is still in the research and development stage and is not yet mature."

With her hand on Shen Gonglin's back, Fu Hua's thoughts had already drifted off to who-knows-where. This was just the official statement; based on her understanding of that man, this matter must have been secretly orchestrated, and whether it was right or wrong... she didn't know.

Well, right now I'm just tutoring Shen Gonglin and Kiana. Stigmata aren't something they can access right now.

"Class President, something seems to be coming out of Shen Gonglin's back."

Fu Hua was still lost in thought, but Kiana's voice had become stammering. She had never been so focused before. While Fu Hua was lecturing, Kiana stared intently at Shen Gonglin's back. It would be such a waste not to give him cupping therapy on such a nice back. But as time went on, Kiana suddenly noticed a change in Shen Gonglin's body. Some kind of golden pattern was faintly flashing on his back, and then it turned into a blood red in an instant. What was going on?

"Huh? What... wait a minute, this feeling is Stigmata!"

Fu Hua's palms felt faintly hot as she stared wide-eyed at Shen Gonglin's back. Three strange marks appeared from top to bottom on Shen Gonglin's back. Fu Hua knew this feeling very well; it was clearly the energy fluctuation of Stigmata. But how could Stigmata appear on Shen Gonglin's body? Moreover, this was not a fake made by that man; it was something that truly appeared on Shen Gonglin's body. How could this guy, Shen Gonglin, have a natural Stigmata on his body?

"Ugh, it's so hot! What's going on? Class President, are you dripping wax on me... Ugh, what are you guys doing? Are you really going to give me cupping therapy?"

Shen Gonglin felt as if a ball of fire was burning on his back. He had been comfortably enjoying the feeling of Fu Hua's cool fingertips stroking his back while lying on the bed, but suddenly that feeling turned into a burning sensation. This guy's pain tolerance was basically zero, and the feeling was so hot that he sat up in bed. It hurt so much, I can't take it anymore.

He rubbed his back against the bed, but the pain only intensified. Shen Gonglin was sweating from the pain. Fu Hua realized what was happening and scooped Shen Gonglin up in her arms, running into the bathroom. Kiana and Mei understood what Fu Hua meant and quickly followed. Although they didn't know what had happened to Shen Gonglin, they knew he was in a lot of pain. He was burning up, so they needed to cool him down.

"Ah... that feels so good, so great."

In the bathroom, Shen Gonglin was lying in the bathtub, let out a long sigh of relief. The cool water in the tub greatly relieved the burning pain in his back. Seeing him like this, Kiana and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, nothing serious had happened.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly become like this? If I hadn't been here, you would have been in big trouble, you know that?"

Kiana, also in the bathtub, put down the basin and sat down in the tub. She didn't care at all about getting her clothes wet. They had turned on all the faucets to cool down Shen Gonglin, and now all three girls were soaking wet. But thankfully Shen Gonglin was fine, and it was just clothes, nothing serious.

"How would I know what's going on... Class President, is this the Stigmata you mentioned? What does it look like?"

Shen Gonglin tried hard to look behind him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see his back. He had felt a lot of pain just now, but now he couldn't feel anything on his back. Even when he touched it with his hand, there was nothing unusual. What was going on? His body was already acting strangely, but now it felt like it was getting even stranger.

"Judging from the energy fluctuations, it is indeed Stigmata, but the appearance of this Stigmata... is different from all the Stigmata patterns I know of that have been discovered. In that case, Shen Gonglin, take a look for yourself."

Fu Hua stared intently at Shen Gonglin's back. The three blood-red marks on his back made Fu Hua uneasy. How could Shen Gonglin have Stigmata on his body?

Chapter 344 Kiana Comes to Help

"This thing... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, in some movies, it seems to be something only succubi have, but they have it on their lower abdomen, why is mine on my back? Could it be that I, young master, have succubus blood? That shouldn't be the case, right? Vampires and succubi... I remember this thing is called something like... a lewd mark..."

Mei held up a mirror so that Shen Gonglin could see his back. Three strange lines were arranged vertically on Shen Gonglin's back. The bright red marks reminded Shen Gonglin of a certain expansion he had seen. It was exactly the same. He felt that this was very important information. But before he could finish speaking, Fu Hua, Kiana, and Mei all rushed up and covered his mouth. What was going on?

"Although I don't know what you're trying to say, I have a feeling that if you say it, I'll definitely beat you up, so you'd better not say anything. This is Stigmata, definitely not what you thought it was."

Covering Shen Gonglin's mouth, Fu Hua looked into Shen Gonglin's deep purple eyes and emphasized that this was definitely Stigmata. Although she couldn't feel the flow of power within the Stigmata, it was definitely Stigmata.

"I think so too... Class President, why does Shen Gonglin have this kind of thing on her? This guy is clearly... I don't know how to say it, but I just feel like all the good things happen to him, while I don't get any."

Kiana agreed with what Fu Hua said. In fact, both she and Fu Hua rushed up to cover Shen Gonglin's mouth out of instinct. However, Mei seemed to be in a different situation. The girl's face was flushed and her eyes were turbulent, as if she had thought of something terrible. It was clear that Mei knew some inside information. She was really amazing.

"Hmm... Didn't the Class President just say that once the genes are complete to a certain extent, the Stigmata might appear? Doesn't my current state prove that I'm an exceptionally perfect person? I'm the epitome of well-rounded development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. This is a world-renowned achievement... What's with those looks from you guys? Do you think I, the dignified Shen Gonglin, can't bear such an evaluation?"

Shen Gonglin pulled their hands down and said smugly, "Although I don't understand what good this thing is to me, it should be a good thing, right? To be honest, this kind of thing really touched Shen Gonglin's hidden chuunibyou heart. Can you be called a protagonist if you don't have something? Everyone else has a dual personality or will turn evil. If I don't have something special, then I'm too pathetic."

Actually, in the hearts of these Valkyrie, Shen Gonglin is the most special one. She has Universal Angel mode, vampire abilities, and swordsmanship that is inexplicably enough to Mei's. She also has a talent for martial arts that she can learn in an instant... This girl is living a life of luxury but doesn't know how lucky she is.

"Hehe, Shen Gonglin, you're joking. How can the word 'perfect' be used to describe you? You're just kidding."

If it were just a matter of Shen Gonglin's strong genetic integrity, Kiana and the others wouldn't say much, but when he said he was perfect, even Fu Hua almost burst out laughing. This guy is so narcissistic! What perfection? That word has nothing to do with him. If we're talking about his wicked personality, that's his defining characteristic. Doesn't he have any sense of self -Shen Gonglin at all? Rin is truly self-centered.

"You two... Mei, what are you looking at? Is there something you're particularly interested in?"

Shen Gonglin and Kiana started fooling around in the bathtub, getting splashed with water. Fu Hua was particularly exasperated and wanted to stop these two idiots, but Mei, who was quietly watching from the side, kept staring at Shen Gonglin 'Mei back. Did she see something different? To be honest, Fu Hua respected the Stigmata, because they mostly represented the efforts of outstanding people in the Honkai. She had never seen the Stigmata on Shen Gonglin's body before. Did Mei remember it?

"No, it's just that these marks on his back make me look a bit... a bit like a clock?"

Mei looked at it more and more closely. Although it was somewhat abstract, Mei could still make out the composition of the pattern from the bright red lines. What was the meaning of this image? It did look like a clock.

"A clock? Mei, now that you mention it, it does look a bit like one. Shen Gonglin, calm your mind, concentrate your power in your back, and try to activate the power of the Stigmata."

Upon hearing Mei's words, Fu Hua also recognized the design of the Stigmata. Was it due to memory loss? She genuinely had no recollection of the Stigmata on Shen Gonglin's back. If this Stigmata could improve Shen Gonglin's physical abilities, that would be ideal. In Fu Hua's opinion, besides his mental issues, Shen Gonglin's biggest problem was his stamina. He would feel tired even after running 400 meters, and this physical weakness was his greatest shortcoming.

"...Concentrate your strength in your back, what kind of technique is that? Can someone demonstrate it for me?"

How exactly does one concentrate power on their back? Shen Gonglin really didn't understand this. When she used the Universal Angel Mode to fly before, it was purely instinctive. But now, in front of the three of them, she was a little confused about how to do Shen Gonglin. Just like what the Class President had said before about "qi sinking to the dantian," she didn't understand it at all.

"It's simple, I'll help you."

Kiana approached full of energy, and Shen Gonglin thought she was going to do something, but then the girl suddenly raised her hand and slapped Shen Gonglin hard on the back. The Valkyrie's powerful strength was an unbearable blow even through the Shen Gonglin water. It hurt so much that Shen Gonglin almost died on the spot. It hurt so much and she still couldn't touch her. This girl, does she want to die?!

"Hey, hey, hey, something's changed, something's changed! Shen Gonglin!"

The bright red handprint on Shen Gonglin's back was particularly conspicuous. Having finally vented her anger, the young lady of the Kaslana family felt refreshed. Fu Hua and Mei, on the other hand, were dumbfounded. Kiana was indeed Kiana. Among them, she was the least doting on Shen Gonglin. Fu Hua was even more determined to bring Kiana along when training Shen Gonglin. With Kiana, she wouldn't be led astray by Shen Gonglin. Kiana was undoubtedly the most suitable teaching assistant for Shen Gonglin.

At least neither of them would have been willing to hurt Shen Gonglin Rin so badly; that kid is so pitiful.

Seeing Shen Gonglin in the bathtub, unable to speak from the pain, Fu Hua and Mei couldn't help but close their eyes. This girl was so pitiful.

Chapter 345

"It seems there's been a change, a change... Hey, why is it gone again? Was I not strong enough just now? Let me make up for it."

Kiana excitedly observed Shen Gonglin's situation as the red patterns on her back shone with golden light. However, the light gradually dimmed, and the Stigmata turned red again, as if the machine had failed to start. What do you usually do in this situation?

Just tap it once, and it'll be fine.

"You dare touch me again?"

Like a demon crawling out of hell, Shen Gonglin turned around and looked at Kiana with a sinister gaze. The heavy blow from her five fingers had completely stunned her. Now her back was burning with pain, and this girl was actually preparing to do it again.

There are many ways to die. If you want to die, just tell Shen Gonglin. He can definitely help Kiana choose the most painful path. This guy is really asking for death. No one has ever dared to treat Shen Gonglin like this. This guy is particularly vengeful. Kiana's treatment of him has already been written down in his little notebook.

"I, I was just trying to help you... Hey, Class President, and Mei, look, Shen Gonglin's eyes seem to have changed... There's really something wrong."

Feeling a little uneasy under Shen Gonglin's gaze, Kiana awkwardly lowered her hand. Perhaps she had gotten a little carried away. This was Shen Gonglin, after all; he would definitely retaliate for treating her this way. Even Kiana wouldn't be so reckless. What she should do now was to distance herself from Shen Gonglin. However, Shen Gonglin's eyes, so different from before, made Kiana stop in her tracks. How could his eyes have changed like this?

"Eyes? What's wrong? Let me see... There's nothing different."

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua quickly pressed down on Shen Gonglin's head and turned him around. Her blue-green eyes stared intently into Shen Gonglin's eyes, but she couldn't see anything different. His eyes, like amethyst gems, were still as clear as ever. Besides his harmless face, Shen Gonglin's clear eyes were his best camouflage. Judging by his appearance alone, no one would associate him with a bad guy. But only by getting to know him would you realize that this guy was definitely black inside.

"There's really nothing different, Kiana. Did you see anything just now?"

Seeing Fu Hua cupping Shen Gonglin's cheeks in her hands, Mei quietly squeezed in and naturally placed her hands on Shen Gonglin's chin. She didn't notice anything different about Shen Gonglin's eyes. Could this be Kiana's way of diverting Shen Gonglin's attention because she was afraid of getting beaten up?... Probably not, Kiana wouldn't be that kind of person.

"That's right, that's right. Just now, it seemed like one of his eyes turned red and the other turned gold. I'm sure I didn't see wrong... It must be the effect of that Stigmata. Do it again, do it again and you'll see it too."

Fully convinced that what she had just seen was not a hallucination, Kiana raised her hand, intending to hit Shen Gonglin again. This was exactly what Shen Gonglin wanted. She had been worried about not being able to do anything to Kiana in front of the Class President and Mei, and now Kiana had delivered herself right to her doorstep. Well, she couldn't be blamed for that.

"Kiana, is this the kind of red you were talking about?"

Turning to Kiana with a bright smile, Shen Gonglin's eyes turned a vivid red under Kiana's gaze. This ability was one that Shen Gonglin used even more easily than Electromagnetic Force; it was practically an instinctive ability. It was also the only one of Shen Gonglin's many abilities that didn't consume his stamina, after all, it was his constitution.

Two sharp little tiger teeth gleamed in Kiana's eyes. Shen Gonglin pounced suddenly, his sharp teeth easily piercing the girl's delicate skin. Shen Gonglin didn't consider the consequences when he took revenge. He wasn't afraid that this bite would bring out Kiana's second personality. Or rather, if he considered the consequences, it wouldn't be revenge. This was Shen Gonglin's way of handling problems!

Tsk, this... we can't really blame Shen Gonglin for this, after all, that's just his personality. Since Kiana dared to do that before, she must have been prepared to accept Shen Gonglin's revenge. Now... I'm afraid Kiana has gotten used to it by now.

I just can't get used to it.

Seeing Kiana completely limp, Fu Hua shook her head helplessly. That was just her disciple's personality; what could she do? After witnessing Kiana's fate, Fu Hua understood a crucial point: dealing with Shen Gonglin required finding the right balance. Going too far... Kiana's current state was the best answer. The level of stimulation seemed to increase according to the length of Shen Gonglin's blood-draining time. She herself had felt that same sensation from just a scratch on her finger last time; now Kiana was like this.

Tsk, I hope she doesn't get anemia from being drained by Shen Gonglin.

"Um, thank you for the treat, Mei, you're so kind."

At the bathroom door, Shen Gonglin elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth. The bright red bloodstains on his white handkerchief finally gave him a bit of the feeling of being a vampire. Mei, meanwhile, was very considerately drying his wet blond hair with a towel. After all, she had just soaked him in cold water to cool Shen Gonglin down, and it wouldn't be good if he caught a cold. Although Shen Gonglin 'Shen Gonglin constitution was very special, his resistance to common diseases was slightly weaker than that of ordinary people his age. Mei didn't know how to describe Shen Gonglin's constitution.

In short, it's just that it's very special.

"Thank you... But is it really okay to leave Kiana alone in the bathroom? When we came out just now, Kiana looked like a zombie with bloodshot eyes. Is she really alright on her own?"

Mei forced a smile at Shen Gonglin Mei looked back worriedly at the closed bathroom door. She could faintly hear the sound of fingernails scraping against the wooden door, which made her even more worried about Kiana. Kiana's condition earlier was really quite frightening, so Mei followed Shen Gonglin and the Class President out. But after coming out, she was worried about Kiana again, mainly because her condition... really was not reassuring.

"It's alright, Mei. After all, I'm not some kind of devil. I left Kiana a mop when I came out, so it's fine."

Shen Gonglin comforted Mei, but Mei felt even more frightened. What did leaving a mop mean? Why was she even more worried?

Chapter 346 Warning

"The specific design of the Stigmata is as described in the report, but it should still be in an unactivated state at present. It has not produced any enhancement or negative effects on the body. Currently, Shen Gonglin's body is recovering, and awakening the Stigmata has no effect on him. In addition... the Herrscher of the Void's consciousness has begun to awaken, and the current state is still within a controllable range."

In Fu Hua's room, she compiled these findings into an email and sent it to someone. After all, this was her job at St. Freya, originally just to monitor Kiana's situation. Unexpectedly, the focus of her work had shifted to Shen Gonglin. That man... Fu Hua didn't believe he had no plans for Shen Gonglin. After all, Shen Gonglin's special status was undeniable. Fu Hua had no doubt that he would change his entire plan based on Shen Gonglin's special status. Everything else was irrelevant, but Shen Gonglin ... If it really came to that, she would be willing to use Feather Dust.

Closing her laptop, Fu Hua took off her glasses and rubbed her temples. She'd been taking care of Shen Gonglin lately, and it was driving her a bit crazy. Actually, taking care of Shen Gonglin wasn't that tiring, it was just having to watch out for a certain maid. Not only did she have to guard against Rita's designs on Shen Gonglin, Fu Hua also had to guard against Shen Gonglin's designs on her. She should actually go back to her dorm to sleep every night, but if she did, she worried about who might be plotting against Shen Gonglin. So, Fu Hua was... so tired.

I'm so tired. I should discharge him as soon as possible. Staying in a hospital is not safe at all. Let him be discharged tomorrow. Today... I think there shouldn't be any problems. After all, Kiana is on duty there. Although there is some danger, Kiana is probably the safest person compared to others.

"Lord Fu Hua, have you finished your work? Here is some black tea I prepared, please have some."

Stepping out of her room, Fu Hua immediately spotted Rita sitting on the sofa. Even while resting, Rita maintained her elegant maid demeanor, her beautiful back straight and her flawless face always seemingly carrying a faint smile. Upon seeing Fu Hua, Rita approached with a tea tray, the black tea in the cups releasing wisps of steam. Fu Hua glanced at Rita and, finding her still in the living room, felt much more at ease. It was precisely because of this that she felt comfortable returning to rest. Rita had been staying at the dormitory recently, and she was keeping an eye on her. Rin's situation was also fine.

"Thank you. How have you been staying here lately?"

Fu Hua took a small sip of the red tea. She had a good grasp of Rita's skills. The tea leaves were just bought casually, but after being brewed by Rita, they brought out a different kind of enjoyment. This maid was no joke. Not only was she an S-rank in terms of Valkyrie, but Rita was also a worthy S-rank in these kinds of miscellaneous tasks.
