"Mmm..." Yu Luo grunted, regaining consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes to see white walls and a white bedsheet. The smell of disinfectant filled his nostrils.

"Where am I?" Yu Luo looked at the layers of bandages wrapped around his right hand. He lifted the covers and found his clothes gone, his entire body swathed in bandages, turning him into a walking mummy.

"Swish!" The door opened, and a hot-bodied woman walked in. Her long, wine-red hair was striking, and she carried a military-like killing aura with every movement. It was Murata Himeko, who had just finished her report with Theresa.

"Yo, you're awake," Murata Himeko leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, looking at the now-conscious Yu Luo. Yu Luo stared at Murata Himeko, finding her somewhat familiar. After searching his mind for a while, he finally recalled:

"You're that person from the battleship who got beaten up in that mech suit!"

"Crack..." A crisp sound echoed as a section of the white wall visibly caved in. Murata Himeko retracted her clenched right fist and said with a smile, "That was unnecessary. My name is Murata Himeko."

"Okay." Yu Luo looked at the dent in the wall, swallowed hard, and obediently nodded under the pressure of her killing intent.

"Alright, ask any questions you have now, and let's get our stories straight. If you slip up, that little dwarf will be in a lot of trouble." Murata Himeko casually sat down by Yu Luo's bed, looking at him, who was wrapped up like a mummy.

"Uh..." Yu Luo pondered for a long time but couldn't think of anything he wanted to ask. He reluctantly gave up, "Never mind, you explain. I have too many questions."

"You're a grown man, why are you so hesitant!" Murata Himeko said with dissatisfaction, then tidied her thoughts and began explaining:

"Well, let's start from here. I'm the captain of the Fifth Squad of Schicksal's Far East Branch, and the captain of this battleship, the Hyperion, you're on."

"Schicksal?" Yu Luo remembered hearing Kiana mention that name before and asked curiously.

"Schicksal is a special organization dedicated to fighting the Honkai, hidden from ordinary people. The Far East Branch was newly established by Headmaster Theresa in the last two years, so we're in charge of this Third Honkai Outbreak."

"I bet your Headmaster Theresa is a young girl, and she's related to the head of Schicksal, probably his daughter," Yu Luo said with an air of confidence.

"Why do you think that?" Murata Himeko asked back curiously.

Yu Luo pushed up imaginary glasses, adopting a wise demeanor, "The wisdom of mortals. Organizations like yours, with such a strong behind-the-scenes vibe, definitely wouldn't have any human touch!"

"According to movie plots, at this point, I should be in some prison being tortured, but that hasn't happened. This can only mean that the person in charge of you must be a naive young girl."

"And for such a young girl to be your leader, she must have a connection to Schicksal's top boss. Judging by age, it's likely his daughter!"

Yu Luo chuckled triumphantly, feeling enveloped by the light of wisdom. At this moment, he wasn't alone; he was possessed by Conan, Light Yagami, Kindaichi, Chu Xuan, and many others. He had seen through the mysteries of the entire world!

"Oh my, the current Archbishop of Schicksal isn't my father, he's my grandfather." A cute voice jolted Yu Luo out of his self-satisfaction and back to reality. A little girl, not much taller than the bed, was looking at him joyfully, her blue eyes filled with admiration.

"Headmaster Theresa!" Murata Himeko was startled. Yu Luo curiously observed the young girl standing before him and nodded, "It's exactly as I guessed."

Murata Himeko looked at Yu Luo's appearance and opened her mouth to say something, but Theresa gave her a subtle glance. Murata Himeko reluctantly withdrew her words, only able to watch as Yu Luo remained lost in his self-congratulatory thoughts.

"I heard from my cute niece, Kiana, that your name is Yu Luo, right?" Headmaster Theresa playfully poked her cheek with her right index finger, instantly striking Yu Luo's restless loli-loving heart.

The System in his mind said helplessly, "Hey, hey, can you be serious? You damn loli-con!"

The System's words managed to awaken a sliver of reason in Yu Luo, making him slightly more sober. At the same time, he noticed the important information in Theresa's words and looked at her in shock:

"Grass-munch... Kiana is your niece?!"

"I'm just from a higher generation." Theresa nodded, her blue eyes meeting Yu Luo's. She said seriously, "Kiana mentioned you're a new teacher at Senba Academy, but Schicksal's intelligence system can't find any information about you."

"I..." Yu Luo's heart sank. He finally truly understood that the young girl before him wasn't just some neighbor's little girl, but a core ruler of a large organization hidden behind the world. Before the atmosphere became tense, Theresa interrupted Yu Luo's half-formed thoughts with a smile:

"I don't want to know your specific identity." Theresa's words surprised Yu Luo, and he blurted out in confusion, "Why?"

"Schicksal's only enemy is the Honkai. As long as you're not a Herrscher, your identity has nothing to do with me." Theresa's small body spoke words of immense magnanimity, "I want to invite you to join St. Freya Academy."

"I will absolutely never go back to school! You might as well kill me than make me go back to school! That place is hell! Even though I often reminisce about my school days, that's just reminiscing! I will absolutely, absolutely never go back to school again!"

At this moment, Yu Luo instinctively mastered the skill of Rapid Fire Speech. A barrage of words came out, almost without any thought. His aversion to school was etched into his DNA.

"Eh... Eh..." Theresa was dazed by Yu Luo's continuous stream of words, letting out two meaningless murmurs. She extended her small right hand, signaling Yu Luo to stop:

"I didn't mean for you to go to school! St. Freya, which I founded, is a girls' school. Do you want to have surgery to become a girl? Schicksal's technology can fulfill that wish for you."

"No, no, I think being a guy is pretty good," Yu Luo earnestly refused Theresa's suggestion.

"Don't!" The System in his mind chimed in, chuckling, "Look, if you become a girl, you can get close to all sorts of cute girls, live together, bathe together, and do all sorts of things..."

"Hiss..." The System's words were like a devil's whisper. Yu Luo was almost tempted, but at the last moment, he managed to maintain his male dignity, licked the corner of his mouth, and righteously refused.

"Tch..."

"I mean, I want you to come to St. Freya Academy as a teacher," Theresa said, unexpectedly to Yu Luo, "Our academy does have male teachers, so as long as you're a teacher, there won't be any problem."

Yu Luo was silent for a moment before asking, "What if I refuse?"

"The laboratory and those old guys are very curious how a male without Honkai compatibility can possess the power to fight Herrschers," Theresa said lightly, uttering words that were far from trivial. Yu Luo could only throw in the towel. His earlier impression of Theresa as an innocent little princess had long since been discarded to the farthest star.

"Alright, alright, I agree. What subject will I be responsible for?"

"Originally, I wanted you to be in charge of practical combat, but I have a feeling my cute students might be in danger. We'll discuss it after we arrive at St. Freya Academy tomorrow." As she spoke, a mischievous smile appeared on Theresa's face:

"Besides, some people have been waiting for you for a long time, and they're driving me crazy. You should think carefully about how to appease them."

With that, Theresa walked out, leaving Yu Luo and Murata Himeko staring at each other, the atmosphere incredibly awkward.

"Well, Headmaster Theresa might be young, but she's surprisingly capable. As expected of the Archbishop of Schicksal's granddaughter, ahaha..." Yu Luo forced a laugh. Murata Himeko's expression was very strange, her features contorted.

"Actually, the Headmaster is already over forty years old..."
