Bringing Breakfast (Continued)

Ever since obtaining the combat data of that Anti-Entropy spy, he had immediately handed it to his subordinates for analysis, hoping to find a way to counter it.

That Anti-Entropy spy had actually been training openly inside a Schicksal testing chamber. What else could he be but an idiot?

Once I've figured out all your tricks, I'll make you pay!

With that thought, the blond youth's mood greatly improved. He did not even notice wine splashing onto his white sleeve.

The attendant looked conflicted and somewhat troubled.

"The result is... there was no pattern at all. The techniques he used did not resemble any known swordsmanship or blade art. We... we were unable to determine any style."

At once, the youth's smile froze on his face.

"Unable to determine any style?"

The attendant swallowed nervously and said in panic,

"Yes. Please forgive me."

The blond youth frowned deeply, his slender fingers continuously tapping against the armrest as though he were contemplating something.

Suddenly, he swept out his hand and smashed the wineglass onto the floor with a crack. He snapped, "Impossible! Then how did he strike that slash? Investigate! Make the arrangements and keep investigating! No matter how many resources it takes, I want results!"

"Yes."

The attendant slowly began to back away.

"Wait!"

The blond youth suddenly called out to the attendant, then added with a frown,

"If you truly cannot find the reason, then you... send Rita over. In the name of supervising the academy, have her make contact with this Anti-Entropy spy."

Rita?

The attendant was slightly surprised. Was there really a need to make such a big move? Rita was one of Schicksal's three active S-rank Valkyries.

However, she did not object. She knew that once the Bishop had made a decision, it was almost impossible for him to change it.

"Yes!"

This time, no sound came again until she had left the grand hall.

The blond youth rested his cheek against one hand, his gaze passing through the translucent dome as he looked at the white clouds outside, seemingly lost in thought.

"Wadeline... Ren Yu... Anti-Entropy?"

"Above A-rank, below S-rank?"

Early morning, six o'clock.

St. Freya Academy, Teacher Dormitory area.

The moment Ren Yu opened his eyes, he heard intermittent birdsong coming from the flowerbeds downstairs.

There was also the laughter and chatter of women.

Only then did he remember that he had already arrived at St. Freya Academy.

Just as he was about to get up, another round of knocking sounded.

Thud... thud thud!

A familiar voice rang out.

"Teacher! Teacher Yang! Why are you still sleeping?! Are you up yet?! Hey! Teacher Yang?"

The sturdy oak door was being pounded so hard by someone that it shook like a drum.

"K-Kiana, it's not good for us to disturb the teacher's rest, is it?"

Seeing this, Mei hurriedly stopped Kiana from knocking.

She lived in the same dormitory as Kiana and the teacher named Himeko, so she had naturally heard Kiana bragging the previous night.

—She knew that young teacher who had cut down a Honkai Beast with a single slash!

So early that morning, when the sky had only just begun to brighten, Mei had been dragged downstairs by Kiana after washing up. Kiana said she wanted to take her to visit the Swordsmanship Master she had been unable to stop thinking about.

"Let's go first. Maybe the teacher still isn't awake yet!"

Mei tugged awkwardly at Kiana's sleeve.

"Ah, it's fine. The teacher must have been awake ages ago. It's almost time for work, after all."

Kiana waved her hand dismissively, but Mei was beginning to regret coming.

Never mind whether they would disturb this powerful teacher's rest—she still had porridge cooking upstairs...

If they waited any longer, there would be a serious problem.

That was breakfast for all three of them!

Click.

At that moment, the mechanical lock gave a soft sound, and the door opened.

Kiana's smile froze as well.

Ren Yu's hair was a mess, and he wore a white T-shirt. The only thing missing was a sign on his face saying—Just woke up. What is it?

"What is it?"

Ren Yu shook his head. He had noticed the commotion the moment Kiana arrived at the door.

After all, the badge had not enhanced his five senses for nothing. As long as he wanted to, no movement within several hundred meters could escape his perception.

Besides, Kiana had made far too much noise. Even after he reduced his sensory range to fifty meters, he could still hear her talking.

"Teacher, I came to bring you breakfast!"

In an instant, Kiana thought of a way to salvage the situation.

"..."
