Chapter 1039 Misaki's Memory Overwriting Technique
Upon hearing Misaki Shokuhou's words, Lin Wuming couldn't help but retort, "Three seconds... what kind of rule is that?"

“These details don’t matter,” Misaki Shokuhou shook the remote control in her hand. “Nameless senior, you must have had a hard time fighting those girls from the factions, right? You were so restrained, afraid to go all out.”

“Yes,” Lin Wuming admitted without any attempt to hide it, “but isn’t this also your strategy?”

“Almost there,” Misaki Shokuhou shrugged. “But I don’t want to use the nameless senior’s gentleness towards girls to win the duel; I want the senior to feel my troubles—the frustration of having the ability but not being able to use it.”

Lin Wuming immediately understood that Misaki Shokuhou was referring to her "mental control"; because of their tacit understanding, she did not use "mental control" on him, but could only conduct indirect confrontations through her subordinates and faction members.

“But now that I’ve won this round~” Misaki Shokuhou continued, “as a reward, let me be a little willful!”

A sense of foreboding rose in Lin Wuming's heart, but Misaki Shokuhou didn't give him a chance to react. She pressed the remote control and activated "Mental Control" on Lin Wuming.

"Don't move, Nameless Senior~"

At Misaki Shokuhou's command, Lin Wuming immediately found himself unable to move, but he remained conscious. Misaki Shokuhou did not seem to perform any further actions.

"Alright, you may all leave." Misaki Shokuhou waved her hand.

Junko Hokaze and Ayane Hojo then released Lin Wuming; at the same time, the effects of the abilities binding Lin Wuming's legs were also removed.

Lin Wuming was no longer bound by any restraints, but Misaki Shokuhou's "mental control" was the strongest constraint, and Lin Wuming was still unable to move—except for a limited amount of movement of his head.

"Shokuhou, what are you trying to do?" Lin Wuming asked with a wry smile.

Although Misaki Shokuhou had restrained Lin Wuming, the restraint was not perfect.

In Lin Wuming's view, Misaki Shokuhou's biggest flaw was that she retained her ability to think for herself.

The activation of superpowers relies almost entirely on the brain. Lin Wuming was certain that he could adapt to the current state in less than twenty seconds and regain the ability to activate Nen abilities.

At that point, it won't matter whether your body can move or not; as long as your Nen ability is active, the outcome of the battle will already be decided.

“Of course they know about this,” Misaki Shokuhou said. “Don’t worry, Mumei-senpai, you won’t get that chance.”

As she spoke, Misaki Shokuhou walked towards Lin Wuming, her starry eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

Then, there was a sense of familiarity—the girl came to Lin Wuming and raised her hands to cup his face.

Misaki Shokuhou was wearing lace gloves and holding her remote control in her right hand, giving Lin Wuming a peculiar tactile experience.

"Shokuhou..." Lin Wuming became increasingly certain of what would happen next.

"You remember it well, don't you—that kiss with Tiger Bee just now?" The girl brushed her fingertips across his lips, staining his snow-white gloves with a touch of crimson.

"Yes...yes," Lin Wuming replied, suddenly worried that Misaki Shokuhou might erase this memory in a fit of anger.

"Heh, don't worry, Nameless Senior, I would never do something like that," Misaki Shokuhou immediately said. "That kind of self-deceptive tactic—only a sore loser would use it!"

"This...is like this..."

Misaki Shokuhou smiled and said, "So people will use an even stronger memory to cover it up, so that the nameless senior will never forget it..."

As she spoke, the girl tilted her head back to meet her gaze, their lips meeting, sealing away any words that followed. Through her words and the atmosphere, Lin Wuming had already anticipated Misaki Shokuhou's actions, and even used his recent experience to slightly tilt his head to prevent another nose-to-nose collision.

But when Misaki Shokuhou actually kissed him, Lin Wuming couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Am I having a lucky day with potential partners?
However, judging from the actual situation, it seems more like a romantic entanglement; and Misaki Shokuhou's current actions are probably stimulated by the tiger bee's honey-penetrating attack earlier, which has led to a competitive mentality, right?
The thought of tiger bees scavenging honey inevitably brings to mind my first kiss.

—That girl, Tiger Bee, it was more like a hunt than a kiss, wasn't it?
In comparison, Misaki Shokuhou embodies the gentleness of a young girl...

"Ugh!" The familiar stinging sensation came, and Lin Wuming couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

My lower lip was bitten hard again.

The two then separated. Misaki Shokuhou frowned slightly, somewhat unaccustomed to the metallic taste of blood in her mouth.

"Is this...some new trend?" Lin Wuming couldn't help but ask. Do you have to use your teeth to kiss now?

“Nameless senior,” Misaki Shokuhou turned her head away, “it was very rude of you to compare me to other girls in that situation.”

"..." Lin Wuming felt guilty and remained silent. What Misaki Shokuhou said was indeed reasonable.

Trying to fade the blush of embarrassment from her face, the girl raised her head again: "But I said I had to overwrite the previous one with new memories... so what happened just now doesn't count, let's start over!"

"what?"

Don't worry, they won't bite with their teeth this time.

She wrapped her arms around Lin Wuming's neck, determined not to give up until she achieved her goal.

Lin Wuming, of course, wouldn't refuse; he cleared his mind while responding positively...

Misaki Shokuhou closed her eyes and pressed the remote control again to deactivate her superpowers.

Immediately afterwards, she felt Lin Wuming's strong arms pull her into his embrace, and he launched an even more aggressive and fierce attack...

Whether it was psychological or physiological hypoxia and suffocation, Misaki Shokuhou felt her mind gradually becoming muddled and she could hardly breathe.

As the surrounding faction members gradually regained their self-awareness, they witnessed this scene: their queen and the nameless senior were passionately kissing.

—Wait, Your Majesty? Wasn't that Tiger Bee just now?
Because of the disjointedness of their consciousness, their memories were still stuck a few minutes ago, when Lin Wuming and the tiger bee had their intimate contact.

But now, coming to her senses, she discovers that the female lead has suddenly changed to a different person...

However, since everyone was a member of the Shokuhou faction, they immediately realized that it was Her Majesty the Queen who had intervened and what had happened.

As for the missing part of their memories, as is customary, Her Majesty the Queen will return them during the subsequent review and summary.

So the girls weren't in a hurry to gossip or find out the news; instead, they all clapped.

At least for now, Her Majesty has achieved her goal and finally won over the nameless senior, which is something to celebrate.
