Today, Theresa Fought a Bear One-Handed. No Problem.

Nishikujo Sara abruptly stopped in her tracks as she descended the steps.

A sound, neither too loud nor too soft, pattered against her eardrums as the wind blew, causing the woman to frown and feel uneasy.

And then, something that proved her inner unease appeared.

An extremely unstable and violent Honkai Energy erupted from the headmaster's office, and almost instantly a large amount of black and red mist swept through the building and spread outwards.

At this rate, St. Freya Academy will soon be completely enveloped.

The woman was no longer as composed and languid as before; her expression became indifferent, and her eyes looked around at the black and red mist that had engulfed her body, but there was only a deathly stillness within it.

Nishikujo Sara didn't like fighting, so she chose to retire and become School Doctor and teacher at the St. Freya Academy.

But that doesn't mean she can't.

The woman climbed the steps and chose to return the way she came.

The dark red mist seemed to prevent her from moving quickly, but even the mist that was frantically eroding her body could not stop her slow progress.

After taking a Marlboro cigarette case out of her pocket, Nishikujo Sara took off her white coat and threw it on the ground.

She lit a cigarette with her old lighter.

He immediately continued to stride forward, his movements swift and decisive.

"Headmaster, your jinx really came true."

Even though I examined your body three times and found nothing wrong, a problem still eventually arose.

"Tsk, so this is the power of Herrscher?"

"There's such a situation? It's really inconvenient not wearing armor."

She felt somewhat annoyed by the obstruction emanating from the fog.

If she were wearing armor, Nishikujo Sara wouldn't be forced to move forward so slowly.

Due to various factors, she can only barely maintain a presentable appearance now.

The current Nishikujo Sara seems to have had a layer of her shell pierced by something sharp, and her calm demeanor is completely unlike that of a school School Doctor.

But this wasn't a normal school to begin with, Nishikujo Sara wasn't a normal School Doctor either.

As a former A-rank Valkyrie, Nishikujo Sara is currently the only A-rank combatant in the academy besides Himeko.

"Su Qing'an, you little rascal, don't do anything reckless! Doctors hate patients who don't cherish their own bodies."

As she spoke, the woman quickened her pace, drawing upon the strength within her body.

Himeko and Fu Hua, both A-rank Valkyrie, regularly go on missions, but Nishikujo Sara is the only exception.

She truly lived like an ordinary School Doctor and teacher, uninvolved in worldly conflicts.

The reasons for this are known only to Theresa and herself.

The only certainty is that being in such a Honkai Energy environment would be extremely harmful to Nishikujo Sara.

In a sense, this academy is a place for the last remaining people to retire.

This is true for most employees.

However, Nishikujo Sara's case is extremely unique, even among the few remaining employees.

But this School Doctor, who keeps telling people not to mess around, is now doing the most outrageous thing ever.

The Artificial Stigmata from the woman's back glowed faintly, like a flame about to go out.

But it is indeed... burning.

You see, contrary to what Nishikujo Sara herself said, she also struggled with things beyond her control.

Nishikujo Sara has naturally poor Honkai Energy adaptability and Honkai Energy resistance.

Not all women can survive the Honkai Energy environment unscathed; she wasn't so lucky.

Not so good, just like Su Qing'an.

That's why Nishikujo Sara cares so much about Su Qing'an; that's why, while she longs for this young man to surpass his limits, she also hopes he will follow the rules and behave himself.

In the end, the woman chose to witness firsthand what kind of future the path the boy had chosen to embark on would lead him to.

So.

"Let the adults be the ones to deal with Yu Hui; children shouldn't act recklessly out of ignorance."

The woman slowly exhaled smoke, savoring the minty aroma filling her mouth, and smiled.

That lone white coat lying on the ground was getting further and further away from Nishikujo Sara.

The School Doctor, burning through his remaining two years of life, moved toward Su Qing'an.

At this moment, Theresa, who has just arrived in this world, is facing a major crisis.

How can a girl with no physical strength fight a bear bare-handed?

This is the dilemma she now faces.

Although Theresa knew for certain that her strength hadn't diminished to the point of being utterly powerless, the bear opposite her was no ordinary beast.

The faint Honkai Energy of Honkai energy emanating from the creature proved that it was a Honkai Beast.

Even though the Honkai Beast of ancient times were much weaker than those of modern times, for Theresa, who had no weapons, no Honkai Energy, and no superhuman strength, this was already hellish difficulty.

The first thing the girl saw when she came into this world was a villager dropping a crudely made, low-quality weapon and running away.

The opponent's decision was absolutely correct. A normal human being wielding a spear made of wooden sticks tied with sharp stones clearly had no chance of winning.

However, the fact that he completely ignored the cute and young girl, Theresa, and even subconsciously pushed her after bumping into her, was still somewhat despicable to her.

But it was precisely because of this bump and push that Theresa realized that her body was weaker than ever before.

Rubbing her shoulder, which was bruised and purple from the impact, the girl calmly picked up the long spear discarded by the villager. Feeling its excessive weight on her body, she couldn't help but sigh.

"I was stronger when I was born than I am now."

The girl, who was born with Honkai Energy genes, possessed the terrifying power to crush Honkai Beast of this level with one hand.

Experiencing the helplessness of ordinary people for the first time, the girl remained unfazed.

Calm down, Theresa told herself.

Even in the face of absolute adversity, one must not give up hope.

Su Qing'an has already tried so hard; he came to me covered in blood and wounds.

In the end, he did something that dragged her struggle with that monster into this world.

As the headmaster, I absolutely cannot let him down.

Escaping is impractical.

A twisted mass of flesh, resembling a flower bud, sprouted from the giant bear's back. Several tentacles extended from it, mercilessly sweeping across the girl's petite body and piercing through the villager's flesh.

Blood blossomed, and tentacles slowly dragged the corpse back to the giant bear's feet.

Then, the corpse was pulled into the flower bud made of flesh.

The bear's gaze shifted to the last remaining food.

Realizing the danger was approaching, Theresa gripped her spear with both hands.

The only choice left for me is to fight.
