When people in the real world saw Murata Himeko's twitching expression upon hearing that St. Freya Academy had somehow become the Herrscher Academy of the Far East's Demon Den, they could not help but smile.
This joke had spread across the internet long ago, though it was limited to the real world. There was no such concept in the Light Screen footage—although many former St. Freya students had become Herrschers, everyone had already left St. Freya Academy and faced all kinds of problems. Naturally, Kiana and the others in the footage would not think of it that way.
Only Murata Himeko had remained asleep within the Gem of Haste, completely unaware of the outside world. That was why, upon learning the truth now, she suddenly could not hold it together.
That expression was genuinely hilarious.
The joke about the Herrscher Academy of the Far East's Demon Den was an eternal classic, and at this moment, it brought smiles to countless faces.
Of course, Murata Himeko only lost composure for a moment.
Afterward, she fell into awed reflection.
She marveled at Bronya becoming the Herrscher of Reason, and at Fu Hua's origins and the Herrscher of Sentience born within her body.
At the same time, she showed concern and care for Bronya and Fu Hua.
No matter how formidable these girls' identities had become, they were still her students in Murata Himeko's eyes.
She was also grateful for what the two had done—especially Fu Hua. Murata Himeko was sincerely thankful to her, because without Fu Hua's help back then, she could not have obtained Vermilion Knight: Eclipse and the Godslayer Spear.
Then, she commented on Raiden Mei.
Although Raiden Mei seemed to have "betrayed" them, Murata Himeko said that Raiden Mei was a very kind child, and that would never change.
