Looking at the extremely wary young man in front of her, Durandal sighed helplessly.

"Please believe me, my mission target is not you. This time, I am here in this city just like you, to prevent Anti-Entropy from causing the Honkai.

"Now that the mission is over, I guarantee with my personal integrity that I will allow you and Miss Maggie to return to St. Freya Academy together."

“I don’t know what the archbishop did, but please believe me, I personally have no hostility towards you.”

As if to proactively extend her goodwill, Durandal extended her right hand and disarmed herself.

"In any case, we are comrades fighting against the Honkai, aren't we?"

"Yes, we are all comrades fighting against the Honkai, but..."

"—Otto, no."

After gently slapping away Durandal's right hand, Gu Yu ignored Durandal's embarrassed expression, picked up Lin from the ground with one hand, and activated the Aurora Curtain.

"I trust you as a person, but Otto is not someone I can trust."

“As long as he remains the Archbishop of Destiny, I will never believe in your Destiny.”

PS1: Chapter Two is here. I had a lot of ideas, but I forgot them all when I was stuck with writer's block.

Some readers have said that Fu Hua definitely has a problem, and I think that's true. After all, based on the current descriptions, even after the seven disciples killed Fu Hua, some of them still speak of Fu Hua with great respect [for example, the sixth disciple still treats the rules of the Taixu Sword Sect left by Fu Hua as the law of conduct].

However, it's hard to say how big the problem is—after watching the current storyline of Broken Sword Record, we can roughly guess the general situation.

The seven disciples sensed something was wrong with Fu Hua. The second disciple acted as a go-between, and the others were misled into joining forces to attack Fu Hua.

Leaving aside the extent of Fu Hua's problems, the second disciple's character is definitely not right.

Fu Hua's coffin was buried by her. When she set the mountain on fire, she placed the coffin in a place where it wouldn't be burned. Afterwards, only she went back to retrieve the coffin; no one else knew about it.

Considering this in conjunction with the preceding plot—among the seven traitors, the second disciple was the mastermind, instigating the other six to assassinate Fu Hua, and then the second disciple also lusted after Fu Hua's body [in various senses].

I think the Immortal has really suffered enough. No matter what problems he had, the betrayal of these seven disciples was just too much.

Some people say that Kevin and World Serpent don't have this problem... Kevin uses a high-pressure policy, he gives his subordinates so much.

Fu Hua is dedicated to teaching her apprentices; how can these two be compared?

People who are completely open and honest are most likely to make others resentful, because it makes the latter want more...

Chapter 101. Theresa, Invasion!

After leaving the slightly embarrassed Durandal, Gu Yu picked up Lin and activated the Aurora Curtain, directly teleporting herself to another alley.

It's strange, why do I always feel like my persona is slowly changing from a destructive force that wreaks havoc on everything to a rat in the sewers that can't be seen in the light of day...?

"Forget it, why should I think about it so much?"

After taking out her phone, Gu Yu dialed a number.

"Seriously, threatening me with my ID. Please, I'm someone who has backup."

After the call connected, Gu Yu waited quietly.

Before setting off, Theresa had told Gu Yu that if she encountered anything she couldn't handle, she should just call her.

According to her, since this whole mess was Otto's 'mistake,' it was perfectly normal for Theresa, as Otto's granddaughter, to help her grandfather clean up the mess.

However, after Gu Yu made the call, the other party did not answer.

What Gu Yu found even more bizarre was...

Why did a phone suddenly ring behind him?

"Is that right... Dean???"

After turning around with great suspicion, Gu Yu was quite surprised to see a short figure behind him.

Why are you here???

Hmm, that's strange. Shouldn't she be in the office reading Houmu comics at this time?

Why would someone appear in the country of ROS at this time?

"It's simple, I just felt something was wrong."

After relinquishing the oath of Judah, Theresa calmly stated.

"After you left, Fu Hua suddenly received a communication from headquarters saying that an urgent mission had been assigned to her. It wouldn't be a big deal at other times, but for Fu Hua to be suddenly assigned a mission at a time like this..."

"Anyone who isn't an idiot can tell there's something fishy going on here, okay?"

"So after Fu Hua set out, I immediately bought the fastest flight and rushed here. Hmm, the difference was less than an hour, so it seems there weren't any major problems."

Theresa glanced at Gu Yu, who was only wearing a black vest, and continued.

"Aside from the fact that you and Lin are dressed a little lightly, there's no problem."

"Hey!"

Listening to Theresa's words, Gu Yu felt that the Valkyrie in front of him was becoming increasingly strange.

It's one thing to have a significantly improved IQ, but where did they learn this skill of making lewd jokes with a straight face?

This person's public image has long since collapsed, hasn't it?

"Alright, enough joking. You should know this address, right?"

After giving Gu Yu the address of a hotel, Theresa grabbed Judas's chains.

"Use your abilities to take me there; it's not convenient to talk here."

"I see."

Sensing the three energies gathering around him, Gu Yu fought off his drowsiness and activated the Aurora Curtain once more.

The next second, Gu Yu, Theresa, and Lin arrived at a room at the same time.

"Hmm, very precise control. It seems we don't need to worry about the rampage on the Hyperion last time for the time being."

After experiencing the convenience of the Aurora Curtain, Theresa put down Judas, picked up Lin from Gu Yu's arms, and placed her on the soft bed.

"I'm impressed. You picked up a girl with one hand—can't you be a little more gentle with her?"

"Tsk, I didn't have that much free time back then."

After clicking his tongue in dissatisfaction, Gu Yu looked at Lin on the bed and suddenly said.

"Dr. Magee is dead, and Lynn..."

"Yes, but don't feel guilty. In the end, in this world, even the most powerful person can't save everything."

Just like your parents, carrying a burden beyond your capabilities will eventually drive you into a desperate situation.

"But then again, judging from how calm you are, at least you've managed to get the Tranquility Gem back."

At this point, Theresa frowned and suddenly moved closer to Gu Yu.

"Don't you think you've forgotten something since you came to this country?"

"Forgot...what?"

Gu Yu, slightly intimidated by Theresa's glare, took two steps back.

"Well, Anti-Entropy's main force has been taken care of, the Tranquility Gem has been retrieved, I've rescued Lin, and I've even shut down the Honkai Reactor..."

That's not what I meant!

Looking at the boy in front of her, Theresa stood on tiptoe in exasperation, trying to flick Gu Yu's forehead.

Unfortunately, the height difference between the two was too great, so she had no choice but to give up.

"Are you made of wood? Kiana and Mei, those little girls, are all worried about you. You didn't go back right after your mission. Why don't you go buy them some gifts to comfort them!"

"I've already given you the money, and you don't even know how to spend it? You...you...you...you're driving me crazy!"

After failing to flick Gu Yu's forehead, Theresa immediately pushed him towards the door.

"Get out, get out! You probably called me to ask me to bail you out. Everyone in the dorm is getting me a gift, otherwise you might as well stay here in ROS!"

Without giving Gu Yu a chance to explain, Theresa used her superhuman strength to push Gu Yu out of the room.

Then, with a thud, the door slammed shut, and Theresa's furious expression vanished.

"Lin, you should have woken up a long time ago, right? Don't pretend anymore, I won't hurt you."

"Nothing can be hidden from the headmaster."

After Theresa pointed out her current situation, Lynn Maki slowly got out of bed and said somewhat lonely.

"You've really changed a lot. You weren't like this before."

"No matter how I change, I will always be Theresa Apocalypse, the headmistress of St. Freya Academy."

After seeing the expression on Lin's face, Theresa strolled towards the girl with lifeless eyes.

"Even after you graduate, you will still be an important student to me. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Forcing yourself to hold it in will only make you feel worse."

"Should I say it? Ha... I have a lot to say."

Recalling this nightmarish period, Lin spoke in a panic.

“I used to think that my grandfather was the greatest scientist in the world, and that the Destiny he joined was a great organization fighting against the Honkai.”

"That's why I chose to enroll in St. Freya Academy and become a Valkyrie. I want to become the power of my grandfather and Destiny to protect humanity from the Honkai's ravages."

"However, in just one month, I realized that the world I saw was all an illusion."

"The Destiny organization is not great at all; in fact, it is much dirtier than I imagined."

"Grandpa wasn't a great scientist either. His 'Artificial Herrscher Project' harmed countless Valkyries."

"But this grandfather, in order to keep me out of danger, chose to steal the Tranquility Gem."

"However, what he did almost caused the country to collapse and be swallowed up."
