Chapter 137

All four answers are possible, Bronya has given up trying to think about it anymore.

Theresa: "Or should we just give up and see who the lucky audience member is later?"

The academy headmaster offered a very constructive idea. Anyway, she wasn't particularly lucky; she still had Pardo and Kiana ahead of her.

I didn't get the one I wanted.

Bronya: "Hmm... Seele, how's your control over the World Bubble within your body? When will you be able to emerge?"

Forget about questions and answers, nothing is more important than her Seele!

Hehe, Seele of Bronya...

Seele: "It'll be over soon. Seele misses Sister Bronya too."

Seele: "Hmph, if it weren't for me, how long would you have been studying?"

Veliona crossed her arms, looking smug.

Seele, what will you do without me?

Seele: "Yeah, thank you, my other self. Seele always messes things up, she can't do anything right..."

Durandal's teachings were not complicated; they mostly focused on the application of Stigmata and the abilities of the World Bubble itself.

However, Seele remained weak, afraid of messing things up, and had significant problems using the power of the Stigmata.

Thanks to Veliona's ability to control her body, she quickly mastered the method of using the World Bubble ability.

Durandal: "Seele, you don't need to be modest. You are Stigmata Adept with great potential. Now you also have the Virtual World Bubble. Even if it's virtual, your future achievements will not be lower than those of S-rank Valkyrie."

Theresa: "Is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like S-rank Valkyrie are about to become a unit of measurement?"

Theresa used to always boast about being the only S-rank Valkyrie in the Far East Branch, but now she feels that her prestige is not quite enough.

Look at these people, what kind of monsters they are.

Who would have thought that the obedient and adorable little sister Bronya spoke of was actually a ruthless person capable of shattering the Sea of Quanta?

Sue: "Miss Bianka, you're wrong about one thing."

Durandal: "Hmm?"

Su: "It's not because you merged with the World Bubble that you gained such power, but because of your own potential that you were able to seal the World Bubble within your bodies."

If you don't believe me, try it on someone else. If they merge the World Bubble into their body, I guarantee they'll explode on the spot.

Seele: "Is Seele really that amazing?"

Seele: "Heh~, coward, you really have no self-awareness at all. Compared to your Sister Bronya, you're much better."

Stigmata Adept, Seele's potential is limitless, and now she has sealed away the Virtual World Bubble.

Even if it's just a virtual one, it allows Seele to freely traverse the Sea of Quanta and reality. While this configuration is vastly inferior to Durandal's, isn't it far superior to any weak Herrscher or the like?

[The Q&A countdown has ended. Congratulations to Theresa for being a lucky audience member.]

Theresa: "?!!"

Is this really that unlucky?

The normal plot should be that Pardofelis and Kiana, the two lucky ones, step on the landmines first, before the unlucky ones like them get their turn, right?

Kiana: "Pfft, Auntie, looks like your little scheme failed."

Theresa: "Hmph, as long as you get it right, that's all that matters. I call this playing hard to get; you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you."

She's being stubborn; anyone with eyes can see that Theresa is just putting on a brave face. Theresa herself knows that the current situation is very difficult.

There's no other way; we can only try anything now.

Theresa: "I choose C, Klein impersonating Mobius."

[Correct answer.]

Kiana: "Wait, Auntie, didn't you analyze this as the wrong answer before? How come again..."

It's incomprehensible. Himeko racked its brains but never expected Theresa to make the opposite choice. It was just a lucky coincidence.

Theresa: "Hmph, how could you possibly understand the wisdom of the Headmaster?"

Phew... that was close, that was a close call.

Seeing the words "correct answer," Theresa breathed a sigh of relief, surprised that she had guessed correctly in a moment of quick thinking.

[Congratulations Theresa on winning the reward: Bitter Melon Juice Converter.]

[Synopsis: A bored scientist, having nothing better to do, created a magical gadget that could convert drinking water into beverages. The Bitter Melon Juice Converter was one of his creations, ensuring he would never run out of bitter melon juice.]

[Note: It's strange, since you have to pour drinking water into the machine to make bitter melon juice anyway, why not just buy bitter melons and juice them directly?]

Theresa: "Uh... are there really such strange people in the world?"

The Dean really loves bitter melon juice and wishes he could have it with every meal, but he's not so crazy as to want to create a device that can turn plain water into bitter melon juice.

Are all these scientists really that bored?

We've poured tons of funding into the labs, and this is how you guys are wasting it?

Raiden Mei: "Hmm... actually, even if you just juice the bitter melon, it wouldn't take much time, right?"

Bronya: "Bronya thinks the headmaster got something that's not very useful, but it feels really powerful."

Simply pour in water to get pure, natural bitter melon juice; this device is quite sophisticated.

Bronya couldn't say there was anything wrong with the scientist, but she felt he was just too idle and should be given more work so he wouldn't be making these ridiculous inventions anymore.

Elysia: "Let's look on the bright side, at least... you won't lack bitter melon juice anymore."

Kiana: "Bitter melon juice... who would like that stuff? In the end, it all goes into Aunt Flo's stomach, and Aunt Flo can't drink much of it anyway."

Theresa: "It seems... it's not very useful."

Chapter 227 About to be silenced

Kiana: "If only it were a fried chicken generator! Just pour in water and it would continuously produce fried chicken. Hehe, I could eat my fill every day!"

Raiden Mei: "Kiana, you'll get tired of eating fried chicken all the time, won't you?"

Kiana: "No, I could eat anything Mei makes and never get tired of it!"

Patting her flat stomach, Kiana realized she was hungry again.

In the scene, Mobius sits in the laboratory, her eyes scanning the list. Judging from her serious expression, it doesn't seem to be anything good.

"Doctor, these are the meeting materials from this afternoon."

Klein carrying a huge pile of documents; it was as if the words "hard-working and dedicated" were written all over his clothes.

Klein placed the documents on the table, turned around, and saw the instant noodles in front of Mobius. She frowned and quickly walked towards Mobius.

"Doctor, how many times have I told you not to eat this kind of junk food that has no nutritional value? The cafeteria has nutritious meals; you just need to heat them up, it's very convenient."

Klein took the empty instant noodles from Mobius's table and unceremoniously threw them into the trash can.

After doing all this, Klein turned around and found Mobius looking at her with a smile.

"Klein ~"

"Doctor, the afternoon meeting is about to begin."

"Huh? I don't want to go."

Mobius's pouty face looked like that of a spoiled little girl throwing a tantrum.

"Doctor, this is Dr. Mei's quarterly research results report meeting on the Fire Moth," Klein reminded him.

Mobius would never attend a meeting unless it was important, and even so, he actually has many meetings scheduled for Mobius.

"If you're absent, your budget for the next quarter will be cut."

"Well, it seems like it would be a bit troublesome if I didn't go."

Mobius sighed.

Although Fire Moth has ample funding, its budget has been cut multiple times due to previous events.

They're all very careful with their money these days.

"It's better that you understand. I'll take care of everything for you."

Klein could finish speaking, Mobius suddenly walked towards her, his expression clearly indicating that he was up to something.

"Klein, all done."

Mobius handed over her identification documents, along with her attendance certificate for the meeting, and so on, to Klein.

"Ha?"

Klein glanced at the documents in his hand, then at Mobius's smiling face, and he knew perfectly well what she meant.

"Alright, go to the meeting, Mobius."

Mobius patted Klein on the shoulder, earning him a Klein in return.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but this joke isn't funny at all."

"Because it's Mobius, they'll understand." Mobius smiled. "Go quickly, don't keep Dr. Mei waiting."

"Dr. Mobius, I hope you will respect everyone's eyesight and intelligence."

Klein sighed helplessly.

Dr. Mobius was always like that, acting like a child.

"Don't call me Mobius, call me Klein now, it sounds more real."

"Doctor, no matter how you look at it, this is just too..."

Klein could finish speaking, Mobius suddenly lunged forward and tackled her to the ground, grabbing her hand and interlocking their fingers.

"Hey, Klein!"

"Wh-what?"

The sudden turn of events left Klein's head spinning, and all he could see was Mobius's flushed face.

"Those meetings were no fun at all. Everyone looked at me like I was a monster, and behind my back they called me a devil."

"Isn't this the bitter fruit of your own making?" Klein retorted.

"That's true, but sitting among that group of people makes me extremely uncomfortable. Not to mention, every time I'm too successful in an experiment, they practically pierce me with their jealous gazes..."

"Human beings are fragile and unstable, always swayed by emotions, and never able to grasp the truth until death. Such meetings are utterly worthless."

Mobius belittled the other people at the meeting.

"Klein will surely understand my predicament, won't he, Klein?"

"It's just that I don't want to go to the meeting; there's no need to elevate it to a philosophical level."

Klein muttered to himself, his heart already softening by about 80%.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go for you."

Despite all that, Klein remained pinned to the ground by Mobius, with no sign of the latter trying to get up.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the laboratory, Danzhu and Cang Xuan, with their two small eyes, were secretly observing this heartwarming scene.

"What are they doing? Should we go out and stop them?"

Danzhu watched the actions of the two people opposite her, and it's unclear what inappropriate thoughts came to mind.

"I don't know what they're doing, but I'm certain that if we go out now, we'll be silenced."

Cang Xuan made a rational judgment.

"Let's try to slip away before we're discovered."

The two sisters exchanged a glance, saw the word "escape" in each other's eyes, and quickly and stealthily slipped away.

The video ends here.

Danzhu: "Waaah, Cang Xuan..."

Cang Xuan: "I know what you're trying to say, and I'm a little panicked myself."
