Thinking about it this way, I realize I need to put in more effort, even with my old bones.
"Sigh, I won't say anything. Since you've made your choice, then good luck."
After patting Gu Yu on the shoulder reassuringly, Dr. Maki put the card containing the Herrscher Core into her pocket and then returned to the Stigmata Space.
Gu Yu was left standing there dumbfounded, completely stunned.
"Come on, keep going? Even in this situation, he still wants me to keep going?"
"Doctor, have some decency!"
Seeing Dr. Magi disappear, Gu Yu took the initiative to remove the Aurora Veil.
"Sigh, after we defeated the serpent last time, I thought that guy would react in some way."
"Now it seems this guy didn't show himself... was he lying in wait, preparing to deliver a fatal blow?"
"No, it shouldn't be that bad. Apart from when he tried to assassinate me the first time we met, he's been fairly upright the rest of the time."
So, what exactly is he preparing?
With this thought in mind, Gu Yu felt a growing sense of weariness creeping into her head.
After setting up some unseen traps with the aurora curtain, he peacefully closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Several days ago, St. Freya Academy
About a week ago, after that incident at the medical department of St. Freya Academy, the Valkyries living in Himeko's house were instantly subdued by Theresa alone.
"Charge! Charge! I don't know what you guys want to do by rushing out here!"
Theresa, who was using a small-scale divine grace barrier, looked at the Valkyries lying on the ground with disappointment and said angrily.
"Stirring up trouble, huh? Jealousy and rivalry, huh? You all want to tear that kid apart, do you think he'll be happy like this?"
"Didn't you notice that you were putting too much pressure on him?"
"Yuno, I'm not trying to be mean, but there are many ways to keep that kid here. Why did you tie him up with vines?"
"And Kiana—you just love watching the drama unfold, don't you?"
Kiana, being stared at by Theresa, felt a chill run down her spine, like a frog being stared at by a snake.
"You've gotten quite capable, huh? You can even kiss people now, that's terrifying."
"That idiot Siegfried, how did he raise you?!"
"Dad... Dad's words..."
Kiana retorted defiantly after Theresa mentioned Siegfried's name.
"My stinky dad taught me how to flirt with men, I'm just giving it a try..."
"ha????"
Theresa, who was originally planning to continue firing, looked at Kiana in disbelief after hearing this.
"Auntie, why are you looking at me like that? I didn't lie..."
"Never mind... Siegfried, that guy..."
Looking into Kiana's incredibly sincere eyes, Theresa suddenly realized how remarkable it was that her other niece hadn't been corrupted by Siegfried.
“There are others as well—I’m not talking about you guys.”
"Mei, Wendy, have you mastered the power of the Herrscher? Can you use it skillfully? Have you completely suppressed your Herrscher personalities?"
"If you don't have any, you'll only cause Gu Yu trouble. You think you can chase after men with your attitude?"
"Sakura, you're not a kid anymore. As the eldest sister, can't you keep an eye on them?"
Hearing Theresa's condemnation, Yae Sakura really wanted to say, "I can't just stop them from dating, can I?"
However, upon seeing the energy fluctuations emanating from the oath of Judah, she chose to remain silent while lying on the ground.
Strange, the headmaster wasn't this strong before.
What exactly did she experience in the Nine Netherworld?
With every move she made, she suppressed two genuine Herrschers and two pseudo-Herrschers... Is this the true strength of a veteran S-class Valkyrie?
"Phew, whatever."
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Theresa said helplessly after dispelling the divine grace barrier.
"Don't rush to find that kid. Although he's injured, there aren't many people who can make him a threat, except for genuine Herrschers."
"Let him relax outside for a while—Bronya, Lynn, you two haven't caused any trouble, keep an eye on them."
"Yes!"
After responding forcefully, the two girls, who were not suppressed by the divine grace barrier, looked at their companions on the ground who had not yet recovered their strength and shivered at the same time.
Neither Lynn, who had graduated from St. Freya Academy, nor Bronya, who had first met Theresa on the Hyperion, could have imagined that Theresa's strength had become so terrifying.
If they dare to act recklessly at this moment...
"Next, those who need special training should do so, and those who need to study should study—Kiana, don't think that you don't need to work hard just because you passed your academic subjects."
Theresa glanced at the trembling Kiana and said coldly.
"Study hard and don't cause trouble. If you do it again..."
"I'm sure you wouldn't want to go through that experience again, right?"
Chapter 254. Survive Shippu
Under Theresa's kind gaze, the Valkyries naturally did not choose to step out and look for Gu Yu.
Although they were still worried about Gu Yu, they also understood that Theresa's words made a lot of sense.
Sometimes, excessive worry can indeed cause severe psychological stress for the person being cared for.
Gu Yu's decision to flee was clearly caused by these people.
Therefore, everyone suppressed their unease and chose to stay at St. Freya Academy.
Except for Bronya.
Unlike others, Bronya, who has been helping ME Corporation recover, has a more powerful intelligence network than others.
Even though Theresa, as the dean of the academy, had extensive connections within it, she still couldn't monitor every move on the internet.
Especially since Bronya herself is a top-tier hacker, not to mention Theresa, even Ghost, an intelligence agent, couldn't detect Bronya's every move.
On the very first day after Gu Yu left, she had everyone in ME Corporation's intelligence department simultaneously begin searching for his whereabouts in several locations where he might appear.
About three days later, Bronya successfully received a message.
A man suspected to be 'Gu Yu' is currently appearing in Sky City.
According to those intelligence personnel, he ate and drank well and lived a leisurely life for several days.
After obtaining this intelligence, Bronya immediately put her skills as a top-notch hacker to use.
By hacking into Tianming's database, she found information about Gu Yu's parents and his original address.
Then Bronya discovered that Gu Yu's past was actually similar to her own.
Bronya knew that her father died in the Second Honkai Impact, and that her mother, after giving birth to her, also died of depression a few years after her father's death in the Second Honkai Impact.
Gu Yu's parents died in the Second Collapse, which made him an orphan.
The inheritance left to him by his parents was even seized by his bunch of scoundrel relatives in the same year.
Wow, is it that bad?
Looking at the displayed information, Bronya finally understood why Gu Yu had told everyone that he had lost his memory.
Who would want to bring up such a tragic past?
"Okay, let's buy Gu Yu's house for three times the price. If that's not enough, we'll raise the price. It's decided then and there."
"If we give this as a gift, Gu Yu will probably be happier."
After thinking about this, Bronya immediately instructed ME Company's staff to go and purchase the house.
But after waiting for half a day, she received news that shocked her immensely.
The other party refuses to sell.
They wouldn't sell even if the price were increased tenfold?
At first, Bronya thought the other party was just going to make exorbitant demands and continue to spend money to solve the problem.
However, after receiving a message from her subordinates, Bronya immediately abandoned the idea.
The homeowner, Kiana Schariac, has no intention of selling the house.
I wouldn't sell it for any amount of money.
Kiana...Sariat?
Bronya certainly wouldn't believe that the name was a coincidence.
She had heard Kiana, that white-fuzzy little ball, say that her parents were Kaslana and Shaniat, the strongest warriors of their time.
Bronya, feeling increasingly uneasy, immediately searched for the name in the Destiny database.
The conclusion she received was not 'the character does not exist,' but rather 'insufficient permissions to view.'
Even after that, she triggered a top-level anti-tracking investigation by the Destiny Database, almost causing her to expose her whereabouts.
"Kiana...Kiana Schariac..."
The girl, her brows furrowed, suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Speaking of which, it seems that when Brother Gu Yu first met Sister Mei back in Changkong City, it was on the rooftop of Qianyu Academy..."
"Why would a man go to an all-girls school? Gu Yu is a pure-hearted man, not the kind of perverted voyeur. Obviously, he wouldn't have infiltrated Qianyu Academy for such superficial purposes."
"So it seems... wait, is Gu Yu's target Kiana?!"
"And what's the difference between the name Kiana Schariac and Kiana Kaslana, considering Kiana's identity?!"
