Fate Is a Wonderful Thing~

After much deliberation, it was fortunate that Theresa did not directly notify her to arrest the Arin Sisters. Firstly, it would be difficult to explain Bronya's memory problems, and secondly, it was best not to alert them. Since the Arin Sisters had gone to the St. Freya Academy with some purpose, it would be best to wait and see.

Don't forget, there are more than 5 S-class combatants here.

Rosalia wanted to sit next to Bronya, but unfortunately, the seat was already taken. She could only glare at him resentfully before sitting down with her sister in the empty seat behind Bronya.

Himeko tapped the desk on the podium to calm the noisy atmosphere in the classroom caused by the newcomers, and continued, "Recently, Valkyrie of A rank or above who have completed more than 10 A-rank missions or 1 S-rank mission can unlock the learning of a second weapon. If you think you are doing well with your current weapon and have enough energy to learn a new specialty, please come to my office after class to report. Now, let's officially begin class!"

Xing seemed to be deep in thought, "A second weapon, huh..."

Bronya nudged him with her elbow. "What, you want to learn a new one? Haven't you gotten enough of the greatsword?"

Sachi explained, "No, while the greatsword is useful, that's only relative to large Honkai Beast. In solo combat, I'll be in trouble if I encounter small Honkai Beast or agile Honkai zombie, so I want to add a ranged weapon."

Bronya's eyes lit up. "In that case, then—"

Xing nodded. "That's right, in that case, I'll go learn archery!"

Bang!

Bronya shook her little hand, crying out in pain. How could this guy's head be harder than Kiana's? She grabbed Sachi's ear and scolded him, "You actually went to learn archery instead of learning Heavy Cannon with me? In terms of impact and feel, Heavy Cannon completely outclasses archery in every way!"

Wendy in the back seat was very unhappy. You probably don't know how valuable archers are.

Fortunately, it didn't hurt, but he still took her hand away. "But bows and arrows are easier to carry Heavy Cannon. If I were to carry a greatsword and a Heavy Cannon, even if I could carry it, it wouldn't look very good."

That sentence almost made Bronya choke, no doubt about it!

Before the class was even halfway through, Himeko frowned, and the chalk in her hand suddenly flew out, hitting Kiana, who was dozing off, with Rosalia was fast asleep on the table behind her.

"Splat!" A piece of chalk hit Rosalia's head, then fell to the ground due to gravity. Embarrassingly, Rosalia remained fast asleep, showing no sign of waking up.

Himeko's temper flared up instantly. At least Kiana listened attentively to my class on the first day before gradually starting to sleep in. This little brat dared to slack off and skip class right away. She completely disregarded me. Didn't she know that Murata Himeko's nickname was St. Freya the Rat Catcher?!

Himeko threw another piece of chalk, but this time with much more force. The white chalk flew through the air, leaving afterimages, and struck Rosalia on the head like a bullet, knocking her and the table to the ground.

Rosalia finally woke up. She touched her head and groggily got up from the floor. "Liliya, is class over?"

Liliya turned her head to the side, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground. Good heavens, she would rather have been accompanied by Xing than have this idiot continue to cause her trouble!

Himeko's face turned pale with anger. "Rosalia Arlene, come to my office after class!"

Bronya silently prayed for her younger sister from her seat, hoping that Himeko would be lenient with her because she was still a child.

Looking at the pink and blue twins, Xing had a different thought. For some unknown reason, he had successfully brought Bronya in this timeline closer to Bronie. So, could he try to cultivate other people's alternate timeline counterparts?

For example, if you train Rita to be Mists, well, these two don't seem to be that different in personality...

Trying to upgrade Theresa to Star Seer is too difficult, so let's forget about it.

By nurturing Yae Sakura into Yae Kasumi, it seems he has already unlocked Nightshade Heavy Mist.

As for Delta, aren't all the Polymerization materials here?

Thinking about this, Xing suddenly had a whimsical idea: Could it be that the weapons created by the Bonded Weaponry can only be used by him? If he used the Bonded Weaponry to transform Liliya into Silent Swan Lake and gave it to Rosalia, could it be Polymerization to create Delta?

Let's get right to it. I'll find Kiana and Mei to experiment with this at noon today. I'll turn Kiana into a weapon for Mei to use; she shouldn't refuse.

After class, Sachi walked out of the classroom and caught up with Himeko, who was dragging Rosalia along. Bronya originally wanted to go with them, but Liliya stopped her. The blue-haired loli held her textbook, blinked her eyes, and said sincerely, "Bronya- senpai, I don't quite understand this part. Could you explain it to me?"

Bronya grabbed her hand, pulled her out of the classroom, and dragged her into a secluded corner where no one was around. Liliya vaguely sensed that Bronya was a little strange, but she continued to act, "Bronya- senpai, why did you bring me here?"

Bronya didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Tell me, why did Mother Cocolia call you here?"

Liliya was shocked for a whole year. Sister Bronya, didn't you say you had amnesia?!

On the other hand, when Himeko was scolding Rosalia, he said a few nice things for her, which calmed Himeko down and improved Rosalia's impression of him. Then he submitted his application to continue his studies. Himeko was a little annoyed. Who starts dual-wielding weapons in the second semester?

However, this young boy was indeed quite good at wielding the greatsword. She was also aware of his proficiency in the sword techniques she had taught him. After some consideration, she stamped her approval stamp on Xing's application for additional training.

"St. Freya Academy used to have an archery teacher, but unfortunately, he transferred away the year before last. If Wendy hadn't already been quite good at it, and if she hadn't been so talented and hardworking, she probably would have been forced to switch majors. Fortunately, a few days ago, an A-rank Valkyrie —Miss Laoshi Satana—voluntarily applied to transfer from Schicksal Headquarters to our school to teach archery. Since she just arrived, the teaching facilities haven't been arranged yet. I'll give you her dormitory number and terminal code first, so you can get to know her. We'll start teaching related courses later."

For some reason, hearing this name gave me a strong sense of hallucination, as if I had heard a similar name before.

Raven and Rita sneezed at the same time.

After the morning classes ended, it was lunchtime. Xing, carrying a pile of food, ate as she walked towards the archery teacher's dormitory.

Inside the cafeteria, the orphanage trio sat at a table away from the crowd. Rosalia, usually so lively, was unusually quiet. After Bronya finished speaking, she picked up a glass of water on the table and drank it all in one gulp. "Damn it, I'm so thirsty after saying so much in one go."

The twins were in a state of profound shock, not from what Bronya had just said, but because—

Rosalia & Liliya: "Who is this guy?!"

My impression of Sister Bronya: expressionless, not good at expressing emotions, and definitely a tool.

The current Sister Bronya is passionate, outgoing, and has a roguish charm—a quintessential older sister figure.

The twins strongly suspected that the person in front of them was a clone created by Schicksal, and that the real Bronya was still being held captive somewhere. Besides, this Sister Bronya was just too nice, wasn't she?

Not only did it shed its exoskeleton armor, but its faceless appearance also disappeared, and it couldn't receive signals from its biochip. It's very likely that it's been replaced.

Bronya said Sachi healed her legs and emotional center. Is that true? Is that boy really that amazing? (The twins just learned Sachi's true gender through their conversation.)

Strictly speaking, however, Gemini prefers Bronya, who is more "human".

Bronya put down her water glass, waved her hand, and said, "I know you might find it hard to believe, but that's the truth. If Mother Cocolia sent you here to take me back, then forget it, I like staying here. But if it's for some other purpose, then don't blame me for being Sister Bronya ~"

Gemini exchanging glances—

Rosalia: "What should we do? Sister Bronya seems to have been completely Brain Control. Should we knock her out and take her back?"

Liliya: "Idiot, do you think you can beat him?"

After some thought, the twins decided to maintain the status quo for now, and wait for the seemingly mentally challenged leader to arrive so they could bring Bronya back to Anti-Entropy.

——Divider——

After finishing lunch and washing my hands, I stood in front of Miss Laoshi's dormitory and gently knocked on the door.

"Coming, coming." A familiar female voice came from behind the door, and Xing was stunned for a moment.

The Raven, who was busy tidying up the house, opened the door and was stunned to see a young boy with white hair and red eyes.

Fate is sometimes so wondrous.

The two looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.

"Sister Natasha? (What are you doing here? Don't you want to die soon enough?)"

"... Long time no see, little guy, why are you still so short? (You can't really trust Jackal's words, can you? How did this little guy find out I was here?)"

After a moment of silence, the mature woman with black hair and red eyes stepped aside. "I'm not done yet, but there's no need to. If you don't mind, come in and have a seat."

Naturally, Sachi and Raven sat on the sofa, like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

Raven leisurely opened a bottle of red wine, poured himself a glass, and then poured Xing a glass of juice. "Minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol, especially since you're so small."

Seeing Sachi obediently drink the juice, Raven felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart. "You just drank it without a second thought, aren't you afraid I'll poison it and then take you to that Dog-headed Woman?"

Xing looked at Raven's pretty face, which was contorted with anger, with a puzzled expression. "Why should I be wary of you?"

Raven was nearly choked to death, then gave a helpless laugh. Her anger vanished in an instant, and she ruffled Xing's hair forcefully. "Idiot, you're still so stupid. You'd better be more careful in the future. Not everyone is as friendly to you as I am."

He angrily shoved her hand off his head. "I'm not a child, don't touch my head like that!"

A smile played on the Raven's lips as she reached out her other hand to tease him, "I'll... just... touch you~"

After a playful tussle, the two lay panting on the sofa; such was the exhaustion of a contest between Fusion Warrior.

Raven's expression was a bit complicated. What was she doing? Looking at the boy who was leaning against the sofa and almost fell asleep, she poked his face in annoyance. "If I were you, I would immediately call your Principal Theresa or that Rita Losweiser stationed here and have them arrest me, this dangerous element, instead of playing house with her like you."

Luckily, I was a little sleepy and replied in a daze, "That won't do. Who will teach me archery if you get caught?"

Upon hearing this, Raven nearly fell off the sofa. She stared dumbfounded at Sachi, who was already asleep. "Are you serious?!"

A myriad of sorrows drifted through the Raven's heart, ultimately turning into a helpless sigh.

Raven gently pulled the sleeping Sachi into his arms and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I will teach you everything I know. Whether you can learn it or not is up to you."

Hey, this little guy feels nice to hold.

Yae Sakura inside the Stigmata Space desperately wanted to rush out and chop her up, but fortunately, she had recently taken control of the Jizo-Mitama, so she couldn't materialize it right now...

Author's Note—

Gemini's current favorability rating: 60

Happiness towards Gemini: 70

To explain why Xing was so wary of Raven, he had already confirmed that she meant him no harm.

Besides, let's see if they dare to tie him up and take him back to the World Serpent. I'm just looking forward to going to the Elysian Realm for a visit.
