Even the End might not be able to kill him.

Elysia: "No. At least, by the time we died, Mobius had yet to master that technology."

Pardofelis: "Hehe, but maybe after Fifty Thousand Years, the Memory Bodies managed to develop it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so eager to take Sister Mei's body."

Raiden Mei: "Hey! Pardo, you're making me panic. No matter how I look at it, that Mobius doesn't seem like someone I can beat."

Eden: "By common sense, you really can't beat her."

Raiden Mei: "..."

That really hit where it hurt, my great artist.

Mei admitted she was a little weak, but after becoming the Herrscher of Thunder, she was still very strong, okay?

Couldn't she at least leave her some dignity?

Pardofelis: "It's fine. Sister Elysia has her covered anyway. Snake Lady won't be able to take Sister Mei's life."

Elysia: "Pardo, I like the sound of that. But Mei really is a bad girl. She ran all over such a dangerous place as the Previous Era Elysian Realm, and in the end, I still had to clean up her mess."

Raiden Mei: "Um... sorry."

Mei herself was also confused. It seemed that after becoming the Herrscher of Thunder, she had suddenly become much braver.

If the current Mei faced Mobius, the first thought that would pop into her head would be to call for help or run away.

But then she looked at herself in the Previous Era Elysian Realm.

Such a huge snake, such a powerful Mobius, yet she charged in without hesitation, making herself look like some reckless brute.

Theresa: "Now that you mention it, I also feel like something is off. Mei is usually such a gentle child, yet she actually charged in without regard for anything. Was she just too confident in her own strength?"

Himeko Murata: "It was probably her determination to save Kiana."

Joining World Serpent meant there was no turning back.

If she wanted to help Kiana control the Herrscher Core, she had to eliminate Honkai. The resolve Mei carried would not allow her to stop moving forward.

She could only keep moving forward step by step. Even if danger and despair lay ahead, she could not turn back.

Kiana: "Waaah, Mei, I'm so touched! Today, I'm eating ten bowls of food Mei makes!"

Raiden Mei: "Are you turning your grief and indignation into an appetite?"

Mei smiled helplessly. That idiot Kiana always left people unsure of what to say to her.

Though from the way things looked now, Mei's decision to join World Serpent had also been the act of an incurable idiot.

Himeko Murata: "Mei, there's nothing wrong with helping Kiana, but you must cherish your own life as well. If one day Kiana regained a new life, but it came at the cost of yours, do you think she could be happy?"

Himeko patted Kiana's head, then Mei's as well.

The fates her two students bore were far too heavy. One was the Herrscher of the Void, the other the Herrscher of Thunder, yet each valued the other's life above everything else.

Such cruel fates, along with their conviction to give everything for the people important to them, gave her quite a headache.

Raiden Mei: "I'll remember that, Teacher Himeko."

Himeko Murata: "Good. If you encounter someone you can't defeat in the future, remember to ask for help or come to us. You can't just charge in recklessly like you did in the Previous Era Elysian Realm."

Mei nodded and took Himeko Murata's words to heart.

She swore that she would never act recklessly again.

If she noticed anything wrong, she would retreat behind the crowd. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she would keep lying low. As long as she was alive, there would be a turning point!

The Q&A began.

Raiden Mei was so brave in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, fearing neither Heaven nor Earth, yet she always escaped danger unharmed. What was the ultimate reason behind this? [A: Come on, Mei became the Herrscher of Thunder. She was insanely brave, okay?] [B: Mei was someone who lived into After Honkai!] [C: Elysia was watching over her in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, so there was nothing to fear. She could fight anyone she encountered!] [D: After defeating the Herrscher of the Void on the rooftop, Mei absorbed her pufferfish traits and got cocky.]

Raiden Mei: "Pufferfish traits? What kind of thing is that?"

It was another question about the Previous Era Elysian Realm, yet Mei could not make heads or tails of it for a moment.

If they were talking about how to cook or eat pufferfish, Mei could pick up a knife and wreak havoc in the kitchen.

But when it came to something like pufferfish traits, she was rather ignorant.

Elysia: "Of course it's because pufferfish puff up so easily. They balloon up at the slightest touch, and they're absolutely adorable."

Kiana: "I get the logic, but what does that have to do with me? Am I that cocky?"

Impossible.

She, Kiana, was a true intellectual type. During exams, she had never cheated; she simply used an eraser to shake out the answers and decide victory in one move.

Besides, confidence without strength was called being cocky.

Kiana had fought her way from Senba Academy to St. Freya with a family heirloom baseball bat. That was a symbol of strength.

Bronya: "Kiana, how is your Butterfly Fire Spreads training going? Are you ready to duel Kevin?"

Kiana: "Ha! Are you doubting me? Once I master it, I'll use the Staff of Homa to knock several lumps onto that bastard who abducted Mei!"

Pardofelis: "..."

The cat heard nothing. The cat knew nothing.

Were such earth-shattering remarks really something she could casually overhear?

A duel with Boss Kevin.

Girl, drink less. If you had even one peanut to go with it, you wouldn't be saying something like that.

Back in the day, she had followed Boss Kevin, fought Honkai, killed Herrschers, and slaughtered her way from Dusk Street to Fire Moth.

Kiana had never seen that unreasonable power, but how could Pardo not know it?

Theresa: "I want to know, what exactly is this After Honkai? Could it also be something your Fire Moth did?"

Eden: "No, I have absolutely no impression of it in my memories. Besides, no matter how you think about it, it should be something from your era."

Bronya: "Principal, it's obvious if you think about it. After Honkai should refer to a long period after Mei entered the Previous Era Elysian Realm."

Kiana: "I knew Mei was blessed with great fortune. Nothing would happen to her in the Previous Era Elysian Realm."

In an instant, not only Raiden Mei, but everyone at St. Freya Academy let out a sigh of relief.

Mei lived into After Honkai, so she definitely would not die in the Previous Era Elysian Realm.

Then what was there to fear?

If it were them, they would have beaten all Thirteen Flame-Chasers from beginning to end before leaving.

I'm someone who lived into After Honkai! .jpg

Who Was the Anti-Entropy Spy?

Elysia: "As expected, time is a beautiful girl's greatest enemy. The years spare no one. Of course, I don't have that problem."

Elysia: "Ever since I fused with the Hypervariable Factor, my skin has only gotten better. Even without exercising, my figure has become more and more beautiful, and my body's metabolism is completely out of whack. It's so troublesome."

The Pink Fairy touched her hair and wore a sorrowful expression, as though she truly was troubled by such matters.

Yet no one believed a single word of this blatant boasting!

Raiden Mei: "Ahem, may I ask if you have any extra Hypervariable Factor?"

Kiana: "Yeah, yeah, if you have any extra, remember to save one for me. I have a friend who..."

Bronya: "Idiot Kiana, the friend you're talking about isn't yourself, is it?"

Mei, who had not cared much about such things before, seemed to understand Teacher Himeko's feelings for a moment when she heard someone call her an auntie.

She even became a little envious of Elysia's changes.

Could a Hypervariable Factor that made girls increasingly beautiful after fusion really have been extracted from a terrifying End-of-Era Honkai Beast?

I'm guessing this Honkai Beast wasn't a proper beast either.

Eden: "The Honkai Beast Elysia fused with was Mahamayuri. How should I put it? I would not recommend that you try it."

Pardofelis: "Because aside from Sister Elysia, pretty much everyone else was finished. Not one of them made it off the operating table alive."

In Fire Moth's experiments, Elysia was the only person who successfully received Mahamayuri's Hypervariable Factor and emerged unharmed.

With odds like that, Mahamayuri was like Cinderella's glass slipper, seemingly tailor-made for Elysia.

Raiden Mei: "I'll pass. I'm deeply grateful, but no thanks."

Kiana: "I can't gamble on that either. I don't want to get on an operating table. I'd better go train Butterfly Fire Spreads."

The Q&A began.

St. Freya has countless talents; remove the spies, and half are gone. Which of the following was an Anti-Entropy spy planted within St. Freya Academy? [A: Himeko Murata.] [B: Hua.] [C: Raiden Mei.] [D: Bronya.]

Theresa: "Nani? Could I be seeing this wrong?"

The principal hurriedly rubbed her eyes in fright, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing.

Every person in her St. Freya Academy was a hidden dragon or crouching tiger, brimming with talent, yet now she was being told that a huge number of them were spies.

Was this not just trying to fool her?

Elysia: "Ah, who would have thought that such a small St. Freya Academy would produce so many spies? Could this be what they call a tall tree catching the wind?"

Himeko Murata: "No, I don't think it would be that bad. St. Freya is just an ordinary school. Why would anyone need to plant spies here?"

Raiden Mei: "I don't believe it either."

Did Anti-Entropy have nothing better to do than plant spies in St. Freya?

They were not trying to boast, but with Theresa's management skills, what information could they not get? Wouldn't it be enough to use a few tricks and fool her a little?

If they wanted to plant spies, they should plant them at Schicksal Headquarters.

Pardofelis: "But your little St. Freya has already produced two major Herrschers: the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Thunder. The odds of that are even lower than flipping a coin and having it land on its edge."

Raiden Mei: "..."

Kiana: "..."

Theresa: "Ahem, accidents. They were definitely accidents. It just so happened that two Herrschers appeared. There are always all kinds of coincidences in this world. You should try to be more understanding."

Please, don't do this. You're making the principal panic.

Those who knew might be fine, but those who did not would think Theresa ran a Herrscher Academy.

Raiden Mei: "Principal, shouldn't our priority be figuring out who the Anti-Entropy spy is? We must bring the culprit to justice!"

After learning that Kiana and she herself might face danger in the future, or even become Herrschers, Raiden Mei had become particularly sensitive about certain matters.

For example, this Anti-Entropy spy.

Perhaps she had played a part in Kiana becoming the Herrscher of the Void.

That damn Anti-Entropy spy... Wait!

Mei herself seemed to be with Anti-Entropy.

Raiden Mei: "Uh, it seems I haven't even cleared myself of suspicion."

Kiana: "No, Mei, I believe you. You cook for us, so you definitely can't be an Anti-Entropy spy."
