What Do Girls Wear When Staying Home?

"It's a gift, right? I prepared a gift!"

Zhao Bai's words were cut off. He had rarely seen Theresa speak so quickly, and he was immediately amazed.

As for Theresa's gifts, they were always incredibly significant and never disappointed Zhao Bai.

The white gift box had golden patterns set along its edges, exuding an air of luxury. The wrapping had clearly taken a great deal of thought; Zhao Bai could practically picture Theresa's conflicted expression.

After unwrapping the paper, he found another layer beneath it.

Only after removing five layers of wrapping paper did the item finally reveal itself: an unremarkable pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Why glasses?

Zhao Bai was at a loss, but fortunately, there was an explainer right beside him. He turned around and gave Theresa a meaningful look.

"This is a Sensory Deceiver."

Theresa proudly said, "It's a device developed through the researchers' painstaking efforts. It can deceive the senses. As long as you wear these glasses, you can see anything as an ingredient."

"So, what can this thing do?"

Zhao Bai asked in confusion. At that, an eager gleam reflected in Theresa's blue eyes, and she looked immensely pleased. Rising onto her tiptoes, she struggled to pat Zhao Bai on the shoulder.

"After a long period of observation, I, Theresa, leader of the Destiny Far East Branch and principal of St. Freya Academy, hereby announce that you have passed the assessment."

Zhao Bai was a smart man. He understood exactly what this thing meant. Deceiving the senses meant pushing open the doors of taboo. From this moment onward, he could raise his blade against humans.

In the past, that had been an absolute taboo.

For all this time, Zhao Bai and Theresa had tacitly avoided mentioning the matter, living peacefully enough. Yet today, Theresa had suddenly brought it into the open and had even personally placed the switch of death in Zhao Bai's hands.

Was this trust? Or a test?

Zhao Bai did not dare to look too deeply into it.

Though Theresa usually acted somewhat useless, Zhao Bai still remained wary of her.

She was the principal, after all.

After a long while, Zhao Bai slowly said, "Principal, is it really all right to casually hand me the power of life and death?"

There was no joy in his voice, only a faint trace of unease.

Zhao Bai only wanted to be a chef. He had never considered becoming a combatant.

Seeing this, Theresa rose onto her tiptoes and patted his shoulder. She lifted her head to look at him encouragingly, her eyes seeming to shine with a brilliant light.

"I trust you."

She said, "After two years of observation, I've discovered that your heart is as clear as a mirror. You're strong and brave, neither violent nor extreme. You're practically a perfect life-form."

"And you're not a lolicon."

Theresa said with satisfaction, "The kinder a person is, the more they should take up a weapon and personally protect the things they cherish."

I'm not a lolicon?
