The One Who Can Become Awakened and Attain Eternity Is Me, Mo Yi!
Keep in mind that on the set next door (Otto's son's set), the S-rank Valkyrie only managed to perish together with an Emperor-class Honkai Beast (Ice Boar).
"No--"
Mo Yi shook his head and complained:
"I'm not the only one who's confident; Rita, you're full of confidence too!"
Rita: "..."
Is this a provocation?
A high school student Area 11 Japan dares to provoke me, who possesses the power of a refrigerator!
Mo Yi looked around and realized that Rita had led him to a relatively secluded place where he hadn't seen any students passing by. He found themselves at the bottom of a staircase leading to a school building.
Under Rita's puzzled gaze, Mo Yi walked up the stairs, reaching a point with more than ten steps.
Rita didn't stop them. Although she was a little angry at Mo Yi, she didn't have any intention of taking action. Theresa, Kallen unknown strength, and another Theresa test subject that even Lord Green Otto told her to be careful of were all in Changkong City. After all, they were senior figures. As a newly promoted S-rank Valkyrie in her twenties, she still had to show them some respect.
Yes, the main reason is that so many people know that Mo Yi went out with her. If he doesn't go back, others will find out that it was Rita who did it after a little investigation.
Mo Yi, having reached the top of the stairs, looked at Rita below and smiled, "Since Teacher Rita is so confident, how about we play a little game—"
"If you can walk from the bottom of the stairs to my side in one minute, I'll let you stay at my house. If I win, then during class, Ms. Rita, please try not to pay attention to me sleeping or daydreaming."
"Yes, I won't attack you, I'll just stand here and watch—"
Having said that, Mo Yi turned to the side.
Rita: "..."
I feel insulted!
With a staircase like that, I could jump from the bottom to the top in a second, let alone a minute.
"Oh--"
"Then the teacher will play along to the end."
Since the other party said that, they must be confident that they can't make her finish climbing the stairs, and yet they said they wouldn't attack her. It seems that the other party has some special methods to interfere with or even prevent her from finishing climbing the stairs.
Only
I, Rita, am Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie. I've slain not only Honkai Beast, but also all sorts of Awakened with bizarre abilities. How many have I not slain?
"Then the teacher will start walking."
"Then please come up here, Ms. Rita."
After saying that, Rita stepped onto the stairs with her right foot, expecting to be interfered with by some kind of special ability, such as invisible telekinesis or mental interference.
But a second later, Rita was certain that she had not been affected at all.
Rita continued walking, glancing up at Mo Yi, feeling somewhat displeased.
They're really confident. Do they think they don't need to act so quickly?
Rita appeared to be smiling and walking casually, but in reality, she was on guard against Mo Yi's impending invisible attack.
"I, Rita Losweiser, am—"
Rita, who was muttering to herself halfway through the journey, suddenly froze mid-sentence.
A look beyond her intellectual smile finally appeared on her face; she stared at her feet with a bewildered and uncertain expression!
She had clearly gone halfway up, so how did she suddenly end up at the bottom of the stairs?
But she could clearly sense that she had not been attacked in any way, not even by any energy fluctuations!
What's going on?
However, Rita's pragmatic mindset wouldn't be easily swayed, so she went up again, and after a few steps, she landed at the bottom of the stairs without her noticing.
"You say one thing and do another, Ms. Rita."
Mo Yi struck a pose that Rita found somewhat provocative, and 'annoyingly' laughed, "Why are you backing away? Looks like you're wavering, unsure whether you should beat me?"
"Or is it that you are afraid of me? You keep telling yourself to go up to me, but because you are afraid of me, your body involuntarily backs away."
"How adorable, Ms. Rita!"
PS: Chapter 209, Princess Arc 25: In fact, Mo Yi, who already knew it was Remilia was behind the trouble, had no intention of going directly to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to fight the boss. Anyway, this matter would be perfectly resolved by Hakurei Reimu in the end, so why not just relax and enjoy himself? He came to Gensokyo just to play with the Princess, and given her final words telling them to Princess, it was clear she wanted to go on a dungeon run together. Mo Yi naturally had to listen to the Princess, after all, she was so beautiful and cute. So, Mo Yi was held by Reisen, letting Reisen explore freely. When she needed help, he would just be a heartless, golden-fingered old man. Reisen, flying around Gensokyo searching for suspicious targets, was also enjoying holding a cat, not in a hurry to solve the incident. After all, she was already trying to find something, just hadn't found it yet. The two of them were leisurely flying when suddenly a huge magic cannon was fired at them. Reisen: "Eh—" She didn't even have time to react; her only thought was, "Am I going to die?" Mo Yi: "..." Who is so inconsiderate as to fire magic cannons randomly!
Chapter 327: The one who can become an enlightened being and prove the eternal path is me Mo Yi!
Faced with Mo Yi's taunts, Rita did not recover her health; instead, she became even calmer and entered a serious state.
At this moment, she no longer dared to underestimate Mo Yi!
Although I don't know exactly what the other party did or how they did it.
The fact that the other party could make her retreat silently to the bottom of the stairs shows that they definitely have the ability to turn her into a headless teacher without her Valkyrie Armor being protected and without her noticing.
"What kind of ability is this?"
In just ten seconds, Rita tried several more times, but inexplicably returned to the starting point halfway through her journey.
Rita, who thought she could handle any fancy skills, found it incomprehensible for the first time, and her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat without her noticing.
After trying several times, she still couldn't sense anything wrong, but she just kept regressing to the very bottom, irrationally.
Could it be that the opponent's ability is a rule-based ability, which is the rarest among Awakened?
In addition, the other party deliberately chose to compete by climbing stairs.
I understand. The other party's ability is to control the stairs, or rather, to make people who want to climb the stairs automatically return to the starting point and never be able to climb the stairs again.
Rita, who had come to such a ridiculous conclusion, shook her head and continued walking up the stairs, thinking to herself, "The abilities of Awakened are often the things that the Awakened is most attached to at the moment of awakening."
"When the other party awakens their ability, is their obsession something like preventing others from climbing the stairs? That's ridiculous."
Unbeknownst to her, thirty seconds had passed, and Rita still couldn't figure out how Mo Yi had managed to reset her stair-climbing behavior to zero time and time again.
Could it be that the opponent's true ability is time reversal?
