Forced into Action

PS: Fortunately, she is currently in the juvenile form of God's Blessing Anthem, so I will refer to her as "she".

Fortunately, she is confused and cannot contact Theresa. St. Freya Academy is scheduled to receive an inspection from the Schicksal Headquarters in three days, and it seems that she will have to do a lot of work for her mother, which should have been done by the headmaster.

Well, with Fu Hua's 50,000 years of memories, handling this pile of official business shouldn't be a problem, it's just that the amount seems a bit too much.

I wish someone could keep me company while I work overtime.

The problem is...

Himeko, requesting leave;

Fu Hua, requesting leave;

Welt, please take leave;

Raven, requesting leave;

Rita, please take leave.

There wasn't a single person willing to work overtime with her.

More importantly, without her and Fu Hua, the Fire Moth Squad is short-handed, because according to the previous inspection regulations, the number of people in the formal team participating in the inspection should be at least 6.

At worst, she can sneak back and slip the Arin Sisters in with her. They disagree? She'll ask the Prototype Pulse Greatsword in her hand if it agrees!

Unbeknownst to him, Ya Ya now wished she could tear him to pieces. If it weren't for the fact that his favorability rating had already reached 90 and wouldn't drop easily, it would have plummeted to the very bottom of the earth.

Right now, we should try to find someone to help her work overtime; otherwise, she probably won't be able to finish all this work by herself in three days.

She needs to be experienced in this area and have a good relationship with her. Wow, where can you find someone like that?

Luckily, he slapped his forehead. Oh right, how could I have forgotten about them?

"Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu, I need your help to work overtime!"

The twins, suddenly dragged out of the Stigmata Space to work, were completely bewildered. Was this for real? They had finally escaped Dr. Mobius's clutches, risked their lives to seal Chiyou, and were even able to come back from the dead and lie down and do nothing, but now they still had to work?

Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu both shook their heads. "We're not good at this kind of thing. You should go find Ying instead!"

Xing rewarded them each with a chestnut, saying, "Do you think Sakura, an ancient person, would understand this?!"

Sakura silently shed tears in the Stigmata Space. So, Sachi no longer needs this old relic?

"Sakura, come out and help out too. There are so many documents to sort properly. Cang Xuan, do a good job, I'll give you a big sum of money afterwards. Dan Zhu, I heard from your sister that you really like anime and figurines, would you like some?"

The Miko instantly felt refreshed, and the twins also became energetic and their attitude was incredibly positive.

Jilin's illusory figure appeared behind her, and he asked timidly, "What about me?"

Fortunately, she didn't think she needed this adorable ancestor, but she still assigned her a job. "Go and take care of those two pets over there. No, Pardo isn't a pet."

Hiyokomaru looked miserable. It was all thanks to her power that the images were projected into reality. Providing physical projections of four people at once put a lot of pressure on her!

"Sweetie, you'll get a delicious meal later~"

Hiyokomaru immediately perked up.

And so, the temporary headmistress, hastily thrust into the role, mobilized all the manpower in her Stigmata Space, except for a certain Kallen (personality fragment) who was in a daze. If the Book of Cang Xuan Profound hadn't been still charging, it probably would have been pulled in to help as well.

The Cang Xuan Dan Zhu sisters, also thrown into the task, took it all very seriously, helping Xing with official business. Yae Sakura and Hiyokomaru were helping to categorize documents and hand them over to the three of them.

Jilin was feeding the cats and chasing away the birds, completely relaxed.

Hmm, it feels like someone's missing.

Judah unchained himself and stood by the door, constantly monitoring the activity outside and alerting Xing when necessary.

So it was the Valkyrie Judah! I was wondering why it felt like someone was missing.

Luna Kindred, peeking through the screen from within the Pseudo-Judas pendant. "..."

I... I don't think I can really be of any help...

——Divider——

After leaving Sachi's dormitory, Bronya and Wendy were in a very low mood because they had just learned that Sachi might have been secretly keeping a cheating cat behind their backs.

Yes, I did indeed have a cat that stole fish.

Bronya held the short brown hair, trembling with rage. She took out her terminal, wanting to call Sin and demand the truth, but she didn't dare. She was afraid that the Joker might turn out to be her.

Recalling their midnight encounter, Ya Ya felt very conflicted.

"Heavy-Duty Rabbit 19C, test this hair. I need to know all the biological information of its host."

At the Fire Moth Base One, Captain Kiana tapped the blackboard, summoned all the members she could gather, and said very seriously, "Everyone, I just received a notice from the headmaster. In three days, it will be the Schicksal Headquarters' twice-yearly inspection activity. The purpose is to check the training of Valkyrie in each branch. As the strongest team in the St. Freya Academy, we must have an outstanding performance!"

Although there's no official certification, the strength of the Fire Moth Squad is undeniable. Firstly, the Far East Branch doesn't have many A-rank members, but the Fire Moth Squad has three A-rank members, and the remaining three are also very promising B-rank fighters. How do you even begin to compete?

Not to mention that each of them has a hidden S-level account... (Even S-level accounts vary in strength).

"But the problem is—" Kiana lowered her head awkwardly. "Our class monitor is away recently, and Sachi has also been urgently transferred by the headmaster. Judging from what she said, it seems that Wendy will also have to leave temporarily. This inspection requires each squad to send 6 people, divided into three teams, to fight in the simulated combat room, and to be scored based on their combat performance. It seems that we don't have enough people."

Bronya silently raised her hand. "Bronya can try to get Rosalia and Liliya. Although their theoretical scores are not even as good as Kiana's, I have a lot of confidence in their combat abilities. Moreover, I heard that as long as you can win the first two battles in a row and clear the game in the shortest time, you won't have to do the third battle."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Bronya. Hey, Aunt Flo sent me a message? Let me see." Kiana opened her terminal and glanced at it, then breathed a sigh of relief. "Great, she said Wendy won't leave and might come back to help if necessary. The rest is up to us."

Inside the hall, the four girls put their hands together and said in unison, "We will win this battle!"

But Bronya and Wendy were clearly out of sorts, which was a bit worrying.

—The dividing line for overtime—

Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu kept updating the time in the present world, working desperately to complete their work. Fortunately, they were also working hard to process their official duties efficiently.

After sorting the files, Yae Sakura stood gently behind her, giving her a massage to relieve her fatigue.

If you could work overtime but get a massage from a beautiful girl, how long could you work overtime?

Pardo and Crimson Kite's Wings snuggled together for a nap, and Jilin, who was sleepy, leaned against them and fell asleep as well.

Just as everyone was completing their task in an orderly manner, Judah sounded the alarm: someone was coming!

Fortunately, he quickly returned the women to the Stigmata Space, confirmed that Pardo and the Crimson Kite's Wings were under the protection of the conscious filter, removed Judah, and continued to maintain their working state.

To her surprise, the visitors were the Arin Sisters.

Rosalia pushed open the door and was startled by the enormous pile of documents on the desk. "Wow, Liliya, look! The rumors are true, the headmaster of the St. Freya Academy is Judah!"

Xing silently moved Judah aside and said, "Ahem, what do you want with me?"

Liliya decisively pressed her sister's head down, and together they bowed their heads and said, "Headmaster, my sister and I would like to withdraw from the school. Please allow us."

Xing: "Huh? I haven't even synthesized Delta yet, and you're already thinking of leaving?"

Want to leave? Not a chance, the windows are closed! Are you kidding me? Do you think you can let two Emperor Class Honkai Beast escape?

PS: In the lore, the Arin Sisters possess power comparable to Emperor Class Honkai Beast, but I estimate they can't unleash it now, otherwise the Fusion Warrior would be far too weak, right? Besides, these two aren't pure Ashvatta either.

It's so Cocolia to come all the way to my door to deliver my daughter. Wouldn't it be very impolite of me to not only refuse to accept her but also return her?

I want everyone at Cocolia Orphanage except for Grandpa An! (Hizzie's obsession)

As for why Xing isn't on the ship, she's not on board, so why would I bother raising her favorability? Besides, Xing's favorability towards her is probably already negative, making it too difficult. Forget it.

Fortunately, she firmly refused. "No, dropping out of school without permission is not allowed."

The twins exchanged a glance, then pulled out Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake from behind their backs. "Then don't blame us..."

Bang! Bang!

After two loud bangs, Rosalia and Liliya clutched the large bumps on their heads, rolling on the ground and crying out in pain. Xing silently withdrew Judah. Who gave you the courage to go toe-to-toe with S-Rank Valkyrie? Although she wasn't Theresa, dealing with these two lolis would be a piece of cake with her current power.

Xing bent down and poked Rosalia's cheek. "Is there anything you're unhappy about with St. Freya? Is it that the food in the cafeteria isn't good or the Yugi in the Yugi center aren't fun? Or is it that you're not used to St. Freya's schedule?"

Rosalia, clutching the large bump from Judah's blow, cried, "No, we're very happy with this school, it's just that Liliya and I don't want to go to class, it's too torture!"

Xing was very puzzled. "St. Freya's theory classes aren't that difficult. They're basically at the junior high to high school level. Is there any subject you can't understand?"

The two little girls exchanged a glance and exclaimed, "All of them! What the heck is that quadratic equation?"

After a pause, she continued, "I'd like to ask, before coming to the St. Freya Academy, what educational institution did you receive your education at?"

"Hmm, not counting orphanages, kindergarten?"

I almost fainted on the spot. So that's why. No wonder these two brats couldn't keep up. Cocolia probably didn't pay attention to their academic classes.

Cocolia had actually paid attention to them, but the two kids' grades weren't very good; they were probably only at the elementary school level, at the point where they could read and write.

Sachi, mimicking her elementary school homeroom teacher's tone, said, "I know, you should have told me about this sooner. I'll have Himeko set up some adjustment courses for you. Go back and study hard. Your mothers didn't have it easy sending you here, so you need to study hard and repay her in the future, understand?"

Xing gently patted the two sisters' heads, using the power of the Gem of Stillness to remove the large bumps on their heads, and handed a bag of candy to the Arin Sisters.

Rosalia took the candy, looked at the smiling Hsin with a bit of a bewilderment, and quickly left with her sister.

After seeing the Arin Sisters off, Sachi stretched and waved to summon Yae Sakura and the others, "Let's keep working overtime!"
