Cocolia: I'll Shape the World into What I Want It to Be!

Upon hearing this, Kiana said no more, but the wary look on her face remained.

After all, Gwen's appearance was somewhat coincidental. Although the two sides were unlikely to be on the same side, Kiana still maintained basic vigilance.

Gwen, seemingly oblivious to Kiana's wariness, walked into the alley. Under Kiana's wary gaze, he kicked the men who were still struggling to their feet, before looking at Kiana with a hint of surprise.

"In comparison, could you please explain to me what exactly happened here?"

It seems that the school I'm about to attend isn't as simple as I imagined.

"How was I supposed to know that these guys, who look like bodyguards, would come here pretending to be thugs and causing me trouble..."

Kiana had already retreated to the other side and could escape at any moment, casually offered an explanation, then glanced sideways at the few guys lying on the ground.

"You should ask them yourselves."

"Um..."

Gwen wasn't surprised by Kiana's somewhat indifferent attitude. He bent down, casually grabbed someone at his feet, and, under Kiana's slightly surprised gaze, tossed them around a dozen times as if they were a toy, before slowly asking:

"Who sent you?"

An invisible, intangible mental fluctuation spread with Gwen's voice, enveloping the dizzy, lightheaded man, causing him to subconsciously give an answer—

"Miss... Miss sent us to teach this arrogant fool a lesson..."

Vomit..."

Just after answering Gwen's question, the man vomited, filling the alley with the pungent smell of vomit, causing Kiana to instinctively wrinkle her nose.

Before the pungent vomit could land on him, Gwyn tossed the man onto someone else, avoiding the nausea and discomfort Gwen took two steps forward, then with a flick of his toe, lifted the other man into his hand and proceeded to dismember him in the same manner.

Are you all in cahoots?

After a series of questions, Gwen arrived at the answer—

Kiana's "rude remarks" at school embarrassed the two young ladies, which led to the bodyguards' probing retaliation.

Of course, the main purpose was not revenge, but to test Kiana's background as a foreign transfer student, and then decide whether to let the matter rest or sink the bay.

Have you come to the answer?

Gwen tossed the person in his hand into the crowd, glanced at Kiana who was standing by with her arms crossed, and casually asked...

"Um...

Thanks.

If you encounter any trouble at school in the future, you can come to me for help. I have to go to work now, goodbye...

Although she didn't really like Gwen's attitude, he had at least helped her get the answer she wanted, so Kiana still smiled and prepared to leave.

Although Gwen's ability to easily overpower a grown man was nothing compared to Kiana's strength, it was still beyond the reach of ordinary people, so Kiana was not prepared to have much contact with Gwen.

Kiana's past experiences have taught her that staying away from these guys might be more helpful in finding her own father.

"That's true, your life doesn't seem very affluent..."

Upon hearing this, Gwen raised an eyebrow and said with a sudden realization.

"I am self-reliant and fill my own stomach with my own hands. I have no regrets."

Kiana simply raised her chin, showing no sign of disrespect.

In reality, Kiana also has a bank card with a considerable amount of savings. Her so-called part-time job is more about getting into high-traffic areas to find her stinky old man.

"Well then, young man, I have a half-day job with good pay. Are you interested?"

His opinion of Kiana had risen even higher. A warm smile spread across his Gwen face as he waved the school uniform in his hand.

"As you can see, I am about to enroll as a transfer student at this school."

But based on what I've seen today, this school seems to have some secrets hidden beneath the surface, and I think I might need the help of someone familiar with these things.

"..."

Kiana glanced at the clothes in Gwen's hand, which, through the packaging, were clearly a uniform from the Senba Academy. She raised an eyebrow, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly, but then added...

"Okay, but let me make this clear beforehand. I haven't been at this school for very long, so I can only tell you what I know. I can't help you with anything else I don't know."

"Of course, I'm not the kind of person who likes to force others to do things they can't do themselves."

Gwen nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

"Let's go then..."

Seeing that Gwen had agreed, Kiana turned and left.

However, Kiana stopped after taking only a few steps, pulled out a cell phone, called the police, and instructed them to remove the people on the ground before turning to Gwen:

"I'll choose the location, is that alright?"

"Certainly."

Gwen neither confirmed nor denied this.

Soon, led by Kiana, the two arrived at a bustling restaurant.

Even though it's not lunchtime yet, there are already quite a few people here, which shows how popular the business is.

After telling the owner that she wasn't there to work but to spend money, Kiana booked a small private room and pulled Gwen inside.

The two had already agreed on the way that all expenses incurred during the trip would be included in Kiana's payment, so Gwen wouldn't have to spend too much.

"Yuzuru..."

Kiana greeted Gwen and told him her name. She took a seat in the private room and looked at Gwen's face, which was undeniably handsome but had features distinctly different from those of Far Eastern Asians. She subconsciously felt that this Far Eastern name was probably not his real name.

"Okay, let's begin, Kiana."

Gwen had already exchanged names with Kiana on the way, was carrying two bottles of cola. He handed one to Kiana and brought up what had happened the night before.

"If you're bothered by my attitude last night, I can apologize—"

Because of some unpleasant experiences I had at the hotel in the past, I've always chosen to keep a certain distance from service staff ever since.

"No, you're a consumer, and your attitude yesterday wasn't excessive..."

Kiana shook her head, casually unscrewed the cap of a can of cola, and took a sip. She was fairly confident in the drinks at the store where she worked.

"Speaking of things at the Senba Academy, the biggest one is about Mei, who's a year ahead of me..."

Chapter 125 Cocolia: I will change the world into the way I want it to be!

Through Kiana's explanation, Gwen gained a deeper understanding of the situation at the Senba Academy.

Perhaps Kiana's bias stems from the fact that she is not a native of the area, but it is precisely because of this that Kiana is able to point out more unreasonable aspects.

For example, even months later, the condemnation of Raiden Mei showed no signs of abating, and the discussions seemed to be everywhere, as if Raiden Mei was not just the daughter of an economic fraudster in propaganda, but some kind of public enemy, an enemy of the world.

After listening to Kiana's story, Gwen didn't press the matter further and readily transferred the money, ending this impromptu transaction.

After carrying his luggage from the hotel to his newly purchased house, and after a quick check to ensure there were no hidden cameras or similar devices, Gwen began to leisurely eat his dinner while reflecting on his day's discoveries.

"Judging from Kiana's tone and attitude, she and Raiden Mei don't seem to be very familiar with each other. The reason she was harassed today was because she said a few rational and fair words when those young ladies were discussing something, which offended them..."

From this perspective, it seems there's still some time before Raiden Mei Herrscherization...

Judging from the situation encountered at school, the bullying of Raiden Mei at school was blatant. Perhaps in addition to the students' spontaneous discussions and the influence of the "conformity" atmosphere in Japan, the school also tacitly approved it.

Judging from Kiana's statement, this seems to be orchestrated by the truly influential figures among the students...

It's unclear whether these people simply want to kick the former Electro Queen while she's down, or if their parents want to curry favor with Cocolia, the guy who controls ME Company.

Or Cocolia deliberately created this situation using her own energy?

If it really is the latter... Cocolia do that?

The rule that people who fall into extreme negative emotions are more likely to Herrscherization is currently only seen in Sirin, who seems to have no reason to do so...

Unless... a similar situation existed in the Previous Civilization, and someone passed this information to Cocolia...

So...did that omnipresent troublemaker, Gray Serpent, get involved with Cocolia so early on?

As Gwen analyzed the current situation, on the top floor of the ME Company building, almost a landmark in Changkong City, Gwen's beloved Cocolia was listening to her subordinate's report—

"Lady Cocolia, according to our informants at the school, the exclusion of Raiden Mei at the Senba Academy is still being maintained very well."

Although that young lady seems quite strong, according to our psychologists' analysis, her psychological resilience is nearing its limit...

"..."

Although her subordinates were very respectful when reporting, Cocolia knew that they were actually very confused as to why she was targeting the daughter of Raiden Ryoma, who was also an executor.

However, there were some secrets that Cocolia did not intend to let her subordinates know.

Therefore, Cocolia simply waved her hand casually, ending the report, and solemnly instructed:

"Alright, keep up the good work, we can't let our guard down in the slightest when it comes to Raiden Mei's psychological offensive."

"Yes, Lady Cocolia!"

The subordinates stood at attention and saluted, then respectfully retreated.

As a small warlord who rose to power during the Second Honkai War, Cocolia's power expanded rapidly with the support of some, but her lack of foundation still left her without enough talent. She had to transfer many of her former military subordinates to do things, and most of these people still retained some of the military style.

Cocolia, however, did not see anything wrong with this. Although they were somewhat unskilled, at least it ensured efficiency.

The subordinates quickly left the office, and soon only Cocolia, the newly popular figure in the Far East who had recently taken over ME Company, remained in the room where one could "see the vast sky and the small world".

And Cocolia was indeed as most of her subordinates thought, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Looking at the brightly lit Changkong City under the night sky, Cocolia raised her hand and slowly clenched it, as if she wanted to grasp the city, and even the world, in her hands.

Cocolia, the passionate young officer from over a decade ago, might not have understood, but the Cocolia of today knows very well that she enjoys the feeling of having great power and controlling the world.

However, Cocolia remained calm, knowing that at most she could only influence the Far East, and was far from having absolute power.

To get to that point, she still needs to do some things.

For example, she could use a Herrscher Core to complete the construction of the Father, completely control the strongest military force in the world, then intimidate the conservatives, make those empty-headed doctors with only a few naive slogans obediently return to the laboratory to do what they should do, then purge the insects from the radicals, making Anti-Entropy a completely unbreakable alliance, and finally declare Schicksal, completely transforming the world into what she wants it to be.

For someone like her, rescuing her beloved adopted daughter from the Sea of Quantum wouldn't be difficult at all...

However, Cocolia's daydreaming didn't last long before a special call came into her phone, the caller ID displaying "Gray Serpent".

"..."

Although her plans for the future were interrupted, Cocolia's mood didn't worsen much in the face of her generous benefactor, and she casually answered the call.

"Good evening, Gray Serpent. Is this your way of calling at this hour because you've already prepared what I need?"

Although the other party was a major financial backer who had supported her to this point, Cocolia believed that her momentum was already established, did not feel any apprehension when facing the other party.

The Gray Serpent didn't seem to mind at all, and there was even a hint of amusement in its voice:

"Of course, snakes are always very trustworthy when it comes to transactions."

"Yes, after so many years of cooperation, of course I trust Snake's integrity..."

Cocolia, who didn't believe it at all and thought the price for betraying the alliance wasn't high enough, smiled and flattered him.

"The delivery method remains the same; you should be very familiar with it by now..."

The Gray Serpent's hoarse voice seemed to carry a hint of amusement, and then, as if casually, it asked...

"Oh, by the way, a colleague of mine asked me to ask if you need these devices for some kind of experiment?"

"Yes, you understand. To fight against the Honkai, you must first understand the Honkai."

Cocolia sat up a little straighter, but her voice remained calm and composed.

"In that case, my colleague wishes to share some of your experimental results..."

Of course, in return, the snake will provide you with research materials in the area you require.

This benefits everyone, reduces redundant research, and allows us to concentrate resources on deeper areas of research...
