In the Headmaster's office at St. Freya Academy, the Far East Branch of Schicksal, a silver-haired loli in a nun's habit was engrossed in a manga titled "Honkai Adventure."

Anyone unaware of the situation might have assumed she was the Headmaster's daughter visiting her parents.

However, this silver-haired loli, who appeared to be only 14 years old, was none other than the Headmaster of St. Freya AcademyTheresa Apocalypse!

Her true age was over 40; calling her an old woman wouldn't be an exaggeration. (Hey, hey, "old woman" is a bit much, don't you think!)

That's right, the Headmaster of St. Freya Academy, Theresa Apocalypse, was a legal loli who could make gentlemen excited.

I bet many loli-cons are already eager to try something. So, loli-cons... do you know how many ways Judas can be used? (Heh heh)

Ahem, back to the topic. Our esteemed Headmaster was clearly slacking off again, reading manga during work hours.

Judging by her expression, this was clearly not the first time. So, it wasn't without reason that some people said Schicksal was doomed.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Just as our esteemed Headmaster was lost in her manga, a sudden knocking sound echoed through the quiet office.

!!!!!

The Headmaster's face immediately turned horrified. Then, her expression hardened. She tossed the manga upwards and, with a skill that would leave even an atomic samurai in the dust, tore it into quarks in under a second.

Next, she pulled the work files towards her, grabbed a pen with her right hand, and assumed an air of diligent work.

The speed and skill with which she changed her expression were so great that even the most accomplished Peking Opera face-changing masters would be ashamed and weep.

"Ahem," she coughed twice, cleared her throat, and then said, "Come in!"

"Creeeak..."

As the door creaked open, a Nameless Valkyrie with medium-length black hair and glasses, who was not Fu Hua Shang Xian, walked in.

"Reporting to the esteemed Headmaster..." the black-haired Valkyrie saluted Theresa, then hesitated as if she had something to say.

"Hmm... what is it?" Theresa asked nonchalantly, looking at the Nameless Valkyrie.

"Hoo... Japan, Changkong City... a Honkai reaction has occurred!" The Nameless Valkyrie took a breath and finished her report.

!!!!!

Theresa's expression sharpened. Her previously nonchalant gaze immediately became serious.

"Honkai, huh..." Theresa clasped her hands, rested her chin on them, and struck the classic pose of Commander Ikari from Eva.

"Leave this matter to Himeko!" Theresa pondered for a moment, then said to the Nameless Valkyrie.

"Uh... Captain Himeko... is on vacation..." the Nameless Valkyrie said cautiously, looking at Theresa.

"I don't care if she's on vacation, get her back here immediately! ... Honestly... don't think I don't know, Himeko must be on a date somewhere! As a Valkyrie, all she thinks about is dating... That woman... she just has two lumps on her chest... just two useless lumps of fat... I'm not jealous..."

As soon as Himeko was mentioned, our esteemed Headmaster seemed to recall something unpleasant, her face darkened, and she entered a muttering mode.

"Uh... As you command, esteemed Headmaster!" Seeing Theresa's slightly dark expression, the Nameless Valkyrie's face turned awkward. She quickly replied to Theresa and then practically ran out of the Headmaster's office.

After the Nameless Valkyrie left, Theresa stopped her muttering.

"Sigh..."

Theresa sighed, her eyes becoming somewhat melancholic.

"Honkai?... Again..."

She stared ahead, murmuring blankly.

"...Cecilia..."

In a secret room at Schicksal Headquarters.

"Bishop Otto, what do you need me for?"

Looking at the blue-glowing screen in front of her, a golden-haired, blue-eyed girl in uniform asked with a hint of confusion.

"You know about the Honkai incident in Changkong City, right?"

"Yes, but I have more important things to do. The Changkong City matter should be handled by the Far East Branch..."

"No, no, no, put aside whatever you're doing for now. I have a more important mission for you!"

"A more important... mission?"

"That's right. I didn't expect that the thing I've been searching for is actually in Changkong City."

"Truly, thanks to this Honkai incident..."

"It seems that this time... Schicksal... is on my side..."

"This is..."

Seeing what appeared on the screen, the golden-haired girl's pupils contracted sharply.

"This is what I've been pursuing, the final piece of the puzzle to complete **."

"Ever since I learned of 'His' existence, I have been tracing 'His' footsteps."

"I once thought 'He' was long lost in the river of history, or hidden deep in the distant future."

"But I never imagined that 'It' would be so close to me."

"Go!"

"Go to Changkong City and bring 'It' back for me."

"You can do it, can't you, Durandal!"

"I will follow your command,"

The blonde girl placed her hand in front of her chest and bowed slightly.

"Bishop Otto."

………………………………

"Raiden Mei... what a cute girl..."

In a certain sealed room, a voluptuous woman with long blonde hair looked at the image displayed on the faintly glowing screen in her hand, a mocking smile curving her lips.

"No wonder that guy, Raiden Ryoma, tried so desperately to protect her."

"It's a shame he can't even protect himself now."

"Hmph, what a narrow-minded fellow. Doesn't he know how insignificant an individual's existence is to the Honkai, to humanity."

"If we can control the power of a Herrscher and understand the origin of its existence, then no matter how many people die, it will be worth it."

"Counting the time, the power of the gem within that girl should have been fully awakened by now, right?"

"So, our opponent this time is a Herrscher. Can you bring her back?"

As she said this, the blonde woman turned her gaze to the silver-haired girl beside her.

"Bronya?"

"Mm..."

The silver-haired girl nodded gently, looking at the purple-haired girl on the screen with a somewhat distant gaze.

"Even if the opponent is a Herrscher, Bronya will definitely win."

"Bronya will definitely bring her back... Mother Cocolia..."
