Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

The camera is ready!

After quickly agreeing on a time and place, Kiana sneaked back to her room.

After confirming Kiana's departure, Bai Yan subconsciously began giving his female boss his routine work report.

Doing this will help him think about the next steps.

To be more precise, he might have accelerated Kiana's growth, causing Otto to bring forward the original timeline's planned time.

For Kiana, the bonus from the Intelligence multiplier is still too high; at this rate, she might have to run away prematurely.

First, give a work report, then subtly—of course, Rita will notice—mention your fear and worry about Raiden Mei, and subtly flirt with Rita...

　Two different i$ (five) abandoned: In Rita's eyes, her information and Bai Yan's information are asymmetrical. These words of concern will be amplified. She knows where the real danger is, so she will be more careful.

Then Bai Yan saw the reply, which was full of gentleness.

After receiving comforting words from Rita, Bai Yancai expressed his determination to persevere and they said goodnight before logging off.

Just as he was about to change his clothes, Bai Yancai remembered something.

It seems I haven't entered the hyperdimensional space yet tonight?

Let's go in anyway.

As I lit the spiral mosquito coil, I sensed that strange, eternal feeling, and effortlessly stepped onto the water-soaked ground once more.

The water level seemed to rise slightly, which made Bai Yan frown.

If this continues, should the master and apprentice stop communicating in the water?

Bai Yan relaxed his brows after imagining the scene in his mind.

It seems pretty good, let it rise.

Uh-huh?

Bai Yan looked up and saw Jing Liu.

She wore an eye patch, held a longsword made of ice, her white hair was disheveled, and her skirt was stained with specks of bright red at the hem.

At this moment, Jingliu's posture gives people a feeling of drawing his sword and looking around in bewilderment.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"..."

Jingliu paused for a moment, looked around, then put away his ice sword and took off his blindfold.

“It seems a little late today,” she said, stepping forward and gazing at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan finally understood.

If she hadn't met him, she could have endured the demonic influence and it would have passed. But once she had a chance to alleviate it, it was hard for her not to become addicted.

"Something unexpected happened tonight, so I'm late."

"Yes, be careful. Once you get stronger, you'll be able to handle all sorts of situations."

Bai Yan didn't correct her small misunderstanding and quickly started today's swordsmanship lesson.

Jingliu has always been dedicated to his teaching, but he was especially serious tonight, even personally testing Bai Yan's combat effectiveness.

The brief meeting with the neighboring temple group left Bai Yan drenched in sweat.

The words are divided into two parts.

Just after Bai Yan was severely trained by Jing Liu, Durandal approached Ragnar.

"I don't know either, since his mission is completely confidential. Why don't you ask Rita?"

“Rita has an obligation to keep things confidential, after all, it’s something she’s in charge of.”

"Uh, do you think I don't?"

"Neither the bishop nor Rita mentioned it."

"So, Bianca, you're trying to take advantage of a loophole?"

"No."

"I think you should wait and see. Maybe he'll contact you when he has time."

Durandal discovered for the first time that Ragnar could also be perfunctory with her, so she left rather unhappily.

"Xiao Yan is in a bit of trouble..." Ragnar sighed inwardly as he watched her retreating figure.

Volume 1: Chapter 19: The Silly Goose Knows

St. Freya's new semester is fully on track, and some students with clear disabilities are beginning to face difficulties head-on.

Take, for example, Miss Kiana, who has already started to act as a crutch for each other.

Any book that requires thought can inflict real damage on Kiana.

Even with the motivation to pass the A-level exam and Bai Yan's help, Kiana still needs to see Hua Tuo for surgery every day.

In Himeko and Theresa's eyes, the girl's transformation was absolutely earth-shattering.

Theresa was starting to panic.

What will we use to fulfill our promise to Kiana then?

I can't let my period go bankrupt in less than a year, can I?

Bai Yan...

Theresa stared at the files on the table, rubbing her hair repeatedly before finally coming up with a solution.

Should I tell her not to help Kiana? Would I even be considered an elder then? That's outrageous!

Theresa squatted on the chair, her white hair disheveled, several buttons of her clothes undone as if she couldn't breathe otherwise, and she covered her head in pain.

If Bai Yan knew about this scene, his heart would be bleeding.

Principal, your students are willing to help you!

With just a few dozen sets of photos, Siegfried's whereabouts, Aunt's authority, and niece's trust would all be settled!

Then, by sending the photo album as a gift, networking and career advancement will no longer be a problem.

With a network of connections and a promotion, one's room for maneuver increases even further.

Sometimes Bai Yan even felt that he really did have a talent for being a speculator.

I'm a middleman in my destiny

Theresa was in a terrible predicament at the moment, and after thinking it over, she decided that she should talk to Bai Yan.

Using Bai Yan's recent combat performance as an excuse, her score fluctuated between 40 and 59 points each time, and she could never reach the true level of a B-rank Valkyrie.

In some ways, this is a more troublesome problem student than Kiana.

You say you're not good at fighting, then let me ask you, what's the point of having such high Honkai energy resistance?

What do you think of those battle-hardened veterans who have very low resistance but are constantly exposed to Honkai erosion?

What about newcomers who lack talent and can't break through their ceiling no matter how hard they try?

Theresa's gaze hardened.

As the headmaster, I must ensure that child succeeds!

Even if it's just as a way of repaying Kiana for helping her, I have to do something!

Meanwhile, Bai Yan took advantage of the weekend to find a quiet hotel room for a short-term call with Rita.

This is all for safety, because the chances of being accidentally spotted in the dormitory or restaurant are too high.

"We have already gained the target's trust, and we have at least one opportunity to spend time alone together each week..."

"I haven't had a chance to contact the head of the Far East branch yet, but I reckon she'll notice me soon..."

In addition to the targets they approached, Bai Yan also reported other intelligence he had obtained, such as the alert forces and the deployment mechanism of the Valkyrie units.

Professional and ambitious spies often gather intelligence beyond the terms of their missions, actively seeking out other related information.

Bai Yan's female boss recruited him because she valued his ability to take initiative.

As for the succubus constitution? It only has some effect on first impressions. Women like Rita have extremely high immunity to it.

Back to the topic.

Submitting a small portion of the Valkyrie deployment mechanism to the Far East Branch is necessary from every perspective.

When Bai Yan was working in logistics, he once helped Dai'e's teammates by relying on his understanding of the Valkyrie mission mechanics at headquarters.

After the mission report ended, Rita showed no signs of stopping and brought up other topics.

【Xiao Yan, Lady Durandal still hasn't given up looking for you. You should be prepared for that.】

"I'm no longer trying to avoid being discovered, it's just a little awkward in front of old friends; and Bianca is a sensible person after all, she won't easily bring her emotions into her work."

The “awkward” moment actually refers to the encrypted call, meaning that Bai Yan’s identity has been exposed.

[Xiao Yan, you seem to approve of her, so why do you keep rejecting her? Of course, this is just casual conversation.]

Bai Yan held the phone in one hand and aimlessly adjusted the muted TV with the other, casually saying, "Even if you want to keep up with Sister Rita, you have to work that hard. It would be even harder for me. It's better to stay where I am now."

On the other end, Rita sighed inwardly.

Are you getting used to things there? For example, are you finding it difficult to adapt to a completely different environment?

It was still an encrypted call, meaning "living as a girl".

"It's a bit awkward, but you'll get used to it."

If anything is bothering you, remember to tell me. It's really hard to keep it inside.

"Well, I will."

"That's good—Lord Ragnar, do you have something to say to Xiaoyan? Hmm, alright—Xiaoyan, Lord Ragnar wants to talk to you about something."

After a distant voice came through the receiver, Ragnar's voice appeared.

[Xiao Yan, it's been so long since you talked to me, have you thought about me?]

"Yes, Ragnar is like my mother, how could I not miss her?"

[You have such a sweet tongue. Tell me, how many did you manage to fool at the Far East branch?]

"There's no time to carry out missions, and I never lie..."

Rita stepped behind Ragnar, listened to their conversation, a smile appearing on her lips, and silently left the room, gently closing the door behind her.

As soon as I turned my head, I was met with a pair of cold, blue eyes.

Rita almost suffocated for a moment.

At this moment, Durandal had a light sweat on her forehead, her blonde hair was tied into a ponytail, and a towel was hanging around her neck. Her fitted sportswear outlined her curvaceous figure.

When did she arrive?

Rita was confident that her call wouldn't arouse suspicion, but Ragnar was... careless about encrypted calls!

As if responding to Rita's concerns, Durandal stared at her, signaling with her eyes "don't meddle," before pressing her ear against the door.

Her expression remained cold, and she didn't change even after listening secretly for a while.

In fact, when Ragnar blurted out "Far East Branch," she already had a vague suspicion in her mind.

Rita remained silent, because saying anything now would be pointless and might even have the opposite effect.

Time passed second by second, but Durandal showed no sign of leaving.

When he overheard the second half, he didn't know what Ragnar said, but the goose's face grew darker and darker.

Finally, she left the door and took two steps back.

The next moment, the door opened.

“Rita, I’m done. You—uh, little Bianca…”

For the first time, Ragnar felt guilty towards his most outstanding student.

Durandal extended her hand, and Ragnar silently handed her the communicator.
