Do you think this world is serious?

Although she was at a disadvantage in terms of ability and was countered by Chen Xiuming's Saintess power, her combat experience was far richer than Chen Xiuming's.

As long as the difference in physical strength is not so great as to be insurmountable, Principal Cecilia's combat experience is enough to make up for the difference in physical strength.

Seeing the white knight's lance and black spear in the hands of Principal Cecilia, Chen Xiuming was starting to lose his composure.

So that white knight's lance with a black handle not only looks like the [Sixth Divine Key] Black Abyss White Flower, but also truly possesses the power of Black Abyss White Flower?

If it weren't for the short spear, shaped by Honkai energy, being imbued with the Saintess's power, it would have been disintegrated by the black spear in the very first clash.

Due to the vast difference in combat experience, Headmistress Cecilia appeared relaxed and unhurried, barely moving the white knight's lance she held in her left hand, except to deflect bullets from the revolver.

Chen Xiuming's defeat was only a matter of time, but the headmistress Cecilia was becoming increasingly satisfied with him.

The battle between the two left Qi Luoxing puzzled. Yesterday, she truly felt that the pressure Chen Xiuming brought was greater than that of the headmistress Cecilia, and this was still the case until Chen Xiuming entered the virtual battle device.

But the one-sided battle suggests that her intuition was wrong.

Kira was completely baffled, while Cecilia, standing to the side, stared intently at the nonchalant headmistress Cecilia, seemingly increasingly pleased with her appearance.

Cecilia was unaware of Chen Xiuming's feelings for the school principal Cecilia. However, Cecilia was, after all, "another version of herself" and had never been in a relationship. Rather than letting Cecilia fall in love with someone else in the future, she herself hoped that Chen Xiuming would win over Cecilia.

Chen Xiuming is her lover, so she believes that Chen Xiuming will definitely be able to successfully win over the headmistress Cecilia.

Chapter 72 transforms into the shape of Chen Xiuming.

Both Qiluo Xing and Cecilia judged from the current battle situation that Chen Xiuming's defeat was inevitable.

Although Cecilia trusted Chen Xiuming, the battle situation wouldn't be reversed just because she trusted him.

If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected has happened.

Principal Cecilia suddenly found herself as if she had become an ordinary person. All the Honkai energy in her body disappeared in that instant, and she could not feel it at all.

With the disappearance of Honkai energy, the enhancement magic that empowered them became ineffective, leaving only the white knight's lance and the black spear intact.

After the enhancement magic failed, Principal Cecilia was unable to contend with Chen Xiuming due to the vast difference in their physical constitutions, and her army collapsed in an instant.

The reason why Principal Cecilia lost her Honkai energy is very simple: it was suppressed by the power of the Saintess.

Chen Xiuming appeared to be completely suppressed by her, and in fact he was indeed completely suppressed. However, at the same time, she was subtly influencing her with the power of the Holy Maiden, while keeping the power of the Holy Maiden hidden until she could "seal" her Honkai energy, at which point the power of the Holy Maiden would erupt all at once.

Principal Cecilia was temporarily transformed into an ordinary person by the power of the Saintess, which can be seen as her taking on the "shape" of the Saintess's power. Since the Saintess's power is Chen Xiuming's power, therefore...

Rounding it off means that Principal Cecilia is now shaped like Chen Xiuming.

The Honkai energy spear pierced the air with a sharp whistling sound, eventually hovering at Principal Cecilia's throat, but it did not kill her.

"Principal, you flatter me."

Chen Xiuming squeezed hard and crushed the Honkai Energy Spear.

The purple light scattered when the Honkai Energy Spear shattered created a fairytale-like and beautiful scene. If he could casually shape it into a rose or a lily, it would be a fatal blow.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do that, since Cecilia was still watching him from above.

Principal Cecilia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly broke into a radiant and beautiful smile, like a hundred flowers in full bloom.

"Mr. Chen Xiuming, you are a really interesting person."

Although the fundamental reason for her defeat to Chen Xiuming was her underestimation of him, a loss is a loss, and Principal Cecilia would not make excuses to cover it up.

Chen Xiuming smiled slightly, then asked with a puzzled look, "How do we leave?"

"It's very simple, just say 'exit' and you can leave..."

Before Principal Cecilia could finish speaking, she suddenly disappeared from the virtual battle space.

Chen Xiuming was a little taken aback, then tentatively said the word "quit," as if he had just woken up from a dream and returned to reality in the blink of an eye.

The glass door of the virtual battle device opened automatically, and then he gripped the handrail inside the device and slowly stood up.

Qi Luoxing had already left the virtual battle space. She stared at Chen Xiuming with a mixture of amazement and astonishment, seemingly unable to believe that Chen Xiuming, who had been at a disadvantage, could turn the tide and defeat the headmistress Cecilia.

Cecilia then took Chen Xiuming's arm, leaned close to his ear, and whispered sweet nothings, "Darling, the situation just now was perfect for deepening our relationship. Why don't you take this opportunity to flirt with 'the other me'?"

Although their actions were intimate and Cecilia's tone seemed teasing, it took on a different meaning when it reached Chen Xiuming's ears, making him feel sweaty and uneasy.

“Cecilia, you know I’m not that kind of person.”

"Of course I know, but... darling, this time I hope you can become that kind of person."

"……What's the meaning?"

Chen Xiuming didn't understand, but was greatly shocked, and at the same time, he could vaguely guess Cecilia's thoughts.

Cecilia snorted and explained, "She is, after all, 'another me.' I don't really want her to fall in love with someone else. It would feel awkward. And... darling, you wouldn't want 'another me' who looks exactly like me to fall in love with someone else, would you?"

Chen Xiuming asked himself honestly, and he really didn't want the headmistress Cecilia to fall in love with anyone else.

Seeing his expression, Cecilia already knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but smile sweetly: "So—darling, I allow you to go and conquer 'the other me'."

"what?"

Chen Xiuming's voice was both bewildered and surprised.

Cecilia chuckled softly, making a nasal sound as if in response, then encouraged, "Darling, I believe you can do it, keep going!"

"Ah? Well... I'll try my best."

Upon hearing this, Cecilia nodded in satisfaction, then gave Chen Xiuming a light kiss on the cheek before ceasing her intimate gestures.

Seeing Chen Xiuming and Cecilia behaving intimately, Principal Cecilia and Kira Hoshino did not interrupt them. Instead, they whispered to each other, and the words about Chen Xiuming could be faintly heard.

Although Principal Cecilia preferred Chen Xiuming to be a professor at the Magical Girl Academy, she naturally wouldn't stop him since he had decided to become a "security guard," as she was certain that he was capable enough to serve as one.

In addition, she would give Chen Xiuming the same authority as a professor, which was considered as her way of befriending Chen Xiuming.

If Chen Xiuming hadn't been so adamant that he believed he lacked the "magic" to teach, she would have directly granted him the title of "specially appointed professor."

"Specially appointed" professors are not exempt from teaching students; it's just that they teach much less frequently than regular professors, usually giving one open lecture per month.

Principal Cecilia smiled and extended her right hand: "Mr. Chen Xiuming, welcome to the Magical Girl Academy."

"Thank you."

Chen Xiuming gently grasped the headmistress Cecilia's right hand, then quickly let go.

Principal Cecilia nodded slightly, then looked at Cecilia, revealing a strong sense of curiosity for the first time.

"Now that Mr. Chen Xiuming has joined the Magical Girl Academy, let's chat somewhere else—I'm quite interested in 'the other me' right now."

Chen Xiuming and Cecilia readily agreed and followed Principal Cecilia and Qi Luoxing out of the Magical Girl Activity Center.

The two thought that when Principal Cecilia said "let's go somewhere else," she meant to chat in the reception room of the Magical Girl Academy, but it turned out to be a coffee shop outside the Magical Girl Academy.

"The coffee at this cafe is really good, and it has a kind of 'magic' about it. It's only served to magical girls."

Principal Cecilia introduced Chen Xiuming and Cecilia.

The "magic" used by magical girls is actually Honkai energy, which is why coffee containing "magic" is only served to magical girls.

At the same time, this coffee will not harm the magical girl's body, which can be considered a "unique feature" of this world.

In the [Original World], any food containing Honkai energy will often have a negative impact on the Valkyrie's body, whether mild or severe.

Chapter 73: A "One-Step Approach" to Headmistress Cecilia

The conversation in the coffee shop was mainly between Cecilia and the school principal Cecilia. Because they were "the same person from different worlds," they quickly became very happy with each other, making it difficult for Chen Xiuming and Qi Luoxing to get a word in edgewise.

Chen Xiuming and Qi Luoxing looked at each other in silence, then lowered their voices to communicate.

The exchange between the two was a one-sided inquiry by Chen Xiuming, who wanted to learn about the working hours of the Magical Girl Academy and its architectural layout.

The working hours and class hours at Magical Girl Academy are roughly the same, both being "nine to five," except that students need to arrive at the classroom before eight in the morning for early self-study.

As for the architectural layout...

The Magical Girl Academy is divided into four main areas: the dormitory area, the activity area, the academic area 1, and the academic area 2.

Aside from the dormitory area and activity area, which are self-explanatory, Academic Zone 1 is the "University Section," while Academic Zone 2 consists of the "Primary School Section" and the "Secondary School Section."

The job of "security guard" at the Magical Girl Academy is essentially a sinecure. Their main duties are to patrol the academy when they have nothing else to do and to handle minor disputes between students.

In the past, minor disputes between students were usually handled by professors who had free time. Although the workload was not large, it would take up the professors' rest time.

Now, these minor disputes are handled by Chen Xiuming.

"Don't worry - although there are many students at Magical Girl Academy, there are very few minor disputes that require our intervention. Five or six times a month is considered a lot."

Qi Luoxing spoke in a relaxed tone, then changed the subject: "If you're really bored, you can go to the school library to borrow books on magic. It's never a bad thing to learn more magic."

Chen Xiuming nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

If he could master the magic of the Magical Girl Academy, he could make up for his current weakness of not having long-range attack methods.

With that in mind, he decided that after mastering a few suitable ranged attack spells, he would travel to other worlds to find Honkai Beasts to help Janna regain her power.

As if remembering something, Kira glanced at Principal Cecilia, who was chatting happily with Cecilia, and continued in a low voice, "If you want to find someone to spar with, you can go to the Principal."

If Chen Xiuming needs her, Qi Luoxing wouldn't mind sparring with him, but Chen Xiuming's Saintess power is too much of a counter to her musical magic.

Even the magic of the school principal Cecilia had little effect on Chen Xiuming, and she did not believe that her musical magic could affect him.

The fact that the headmistress Cecilia is a "hexagonal warrior" does not mean that the other professors are also "hexagonal warriors".

For example, Qi Luoxing, although she is proficient in music magic, is terrible at other magic and close combat.

Would the headmaster be willing to spar with me?

Chen Xiuming asked Qi Luoxing in a low voice.

After the battle just now, he realized that he lacked practical experience. If there was a safe opportunity to increase his practical experience, he would naturally not let it pass.

Moreover, sparring with Principal Cecilia not only increases practical experience but also helps to bring the two closer.

"Of course!"
