Valkyrie Flavor Tasting Guide

“So…” A malicious smile, full of self-satisfaction, appeared on her face, “as long as you’re willing to come back!”

"Throughout St. Freya, whether students or teachers..."

"They will all become objects that you can freely favor and manipulate at will—"

"Exclusive toy".

“Of course,” Theresa’s smile became increasingly amusing, “but doing all that is certainly not enough.”

"In order to better shape them, I also specially formulated a set of... equally efficient punishment rules."

“On the surface,” Theresa said, quite pleased with the design, “whether it’s confinement for reflection or running laps with weights, these are just normal, routine punishments.”

“But…” A sly smile crept onto her lips again, “After each punishment, I would quietly replace their real memories from that time with these contents.”

"The punishment they actually received could be considered a reward."

“So,” her voice suddenly became incredibly seductive, “they have no idea what Xie Garden’s so-called solitary confinement cells are like.”

"They also won't remember that the reason they felt sore and exhausted wasn't because of any long-distance running that pushed their physical limits, but because their bodies had already learned more advanced techniques without their knowledge."

"Useless as a Valkyrie, but very useful as a member of St. Freya."

“Oh, right,” she added, as if suddenly remembering something, and with an incredibly “thoughtful” touch, “—to better monitor their growth data…”

"The academy's medical system also stores the most detailed information about each of them. Everything, from their physical development progress to their compatibility with you, is clearly displayed."

Of course, this data is very detailed; it contains all the data that Lu Mo wants.

Looking at the "satisfied" smile on Lu Mo's face, she finally offered the last and most fatal temptation.

"Can you guess what this data will be used for?"

Before Lu Mo could give an answer, Theresa began to ask and answer her own questions.

"As expected of the master, you guessed correctly..."

“We have done a good job of differentiation, in other words, you can experience all kinds of types you want at St. Freya.”

"I guarantee you won't get bored at all."

Chapter 226 Fu Hua calling my name in delusion?

The heavy oak door to the principal's office was pushed open, and Lu Mo's figure appeared in the doorway.

The previously quiet atmosphere inside the room was instantly ignited.

"Master, you're finally back!" Theresa was the first to jump up from behind her desk, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

Lu Mo smiled and walked straight to the main sofa, which symbolized supreme power.

Before he even reached it, Shigure Kira had already moved. She swiftly approached the sofa, knelt down gracefully, and placed her hands on the cold floor, turning herself into a perfect "living stool" in a prone position.

“Master, please sit down and let me rest.” Her voice was calm and respectful.

Lu Mo sat down without any hesitation. Although it was a little disrespectful to the other person, he had to admit that it felt pretty good.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Lixue appeared beside him. With perfect ease, she sat sideways on Lu Mo's lap.

I feel a little bad for my friends in the other world.

However, Shigure Kira didn't care about such things. After all, she was a genuine S-rank Valkyrie.

"Master, please use it." Her voice was soft, and her tone had become even gentler during the time Lu Mo had spent learning the plot from others.

Pick up a crystal-clear purple grape from the fruit plate next to him, carefully peel off the skin, and remove the tiny seed with your fingertips.

She used a rather technically advanced concealed weapon technique—and you have to understand, she's not a concealed weapon user.

Then, she slowly put the plump fruit, which was imbued with the fragrance of her fingertips, into Lu Mo's mouth.

"You two are too fast! I didn't even get a spot!" Theresa ran over angrily, and could only kneel down at Lu Mo's feet, looking up at him with a wronged expression.

Lu Mo slowly savored the sweetness in his mouth, enjoying this emperor-like treatment, before speaking leisurely, his voice carrying a hint of amusement:

"It seems you all missed me quite a bit while I was away."

"I miss you every second." Cheng Lixue whispered as she prepared the next grape for him, her cheek pressed against his chest.

I'm really having trouble letting go of the feelings I had for my mentor's husband.

Shiyu Kira's voice came from behind him, slightly muffled but extremely firm: "I am always ready for your return."

After all, their feelings aren't deep; they can only wait until they return to cultivate them gradually.

"I'm so tired of thinking about him, I'm practically withering away!" Theresa hugged his leg and rubbed her adorable cheek against him, making no attempt to hide her affection. "If Master doesn't come back soon, Theresa will be all dried up!"

If Yuexia and Guanxing were here and witnessed this scene, the chaotic situation would be even worse.

Lu Mo enjoyed the emperor-like service, and the hand that was originally just tidying Cheng Lixue's hair began a leisurely "inspection".

My fingertips slid down her graceful neck.

Cheng Lixue's body stiffened slightly, and her breathing became erratic for a moment.

But she did not resist in any way; instead, she respectfully brought the grapes in her hand to his lips.

"By the way, Li Xue," Lu Mo's voice, like a loving whisper, gently brushed past her ear, "that hardest bone... Fu Hua, how have you been these past ten years?"

Although Fu Hua is currently incredibly soft-hearted, it doesn't detract from her persona of being a tough nut to crack.

Upon hearing the name, Cheng Lixue paused in her feeding, and a complex emotion naturally appeared in her clear, cold eyes.

“Master… has always been very good.” She replied softly, her voice tinged with difficulty, but actually hiding a secret joy. “It’s just that… she has never given up on trying to free me from your constraints.”

If what happened in the script actually happened, wouldn't Fu Hua do the same?

"Oh?" Lu Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, but his hands didn't stop moving at all. "So...did she succeed?"

“…No.” Cheng Lixue shook her head. “Every time, she failed. After all, Master…you have already etched that mark of love onto her. Any action that goes against your wishes will…incur the most severe punishment.”

"Even my master couldn't resist it."

"Even though her will never gave in."

Theresa, who was listening intently, couldn't help but interject, "Wow... isn't that just... saying no with your mouth but your body saying yes!"

“It’s more than just honesty,” Shigure Kira’s voice carried a hint of schadenfreude, “I think she… is probably already addicted to this kind of punishment, even… enjoying it.”

"You're not allowed to talk about Master like that!" Cheng Lixue retorted instinctively, but her voice lacked the necessary confidence.

“I…I saw her once…” Her voice carried a hint of dreamlike disorientation, “She locked herself in her bedroom, and I saw through the crack in the door…she was hugging a pillow…and constantly calling your name…”

"...with his cheeks, with his lips...he kept rubbing against the soft pillow..."

Although Fu Hua is capable of doing these things now, it doesn't diminish Cheng Lixue's guilty conscience when she says them.

This description, brimming with intriguing details, instantly created an ambiguous atmosphere in the principal's office.

After listening, Lu Mo's face showed a smile full of "understanding" and "satisfaction".

“Interesting,” he said softly, his voice filled with anticipation. “Standing in the snow.”

Cheng Lixue's body tensed instantly.

"Imitate what you saw that time." Lu Mo's command was simple and direct.

“Master…” Cheng Lixue’s cheeks flushed red instantly. She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but her body reacted before her reason could.

Although she was willing in the script, it was still too shameful for her to do such a private thing in front of so many people... even if it was acting.

She knew she could never be like her master, so uninhibitedly displaying that decadence and longing.

She could have had a more intimate relationship with Lu Mo, but this kind of performance was more difficult for her.

She hesitated, looked around, and finally grabbed a soft cushion from the sofa next to her and hugged it tightly.

"Lu Mo...Master..."

She buried her face deep in the cushions, and with a barely audible tremor, she whispered, mimicking the heart-stopping images in her mind.

"Wow! Ritsuki is amazing! It looks exactly the same!" Theresa cheered without reservation, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Regardless of whether it's similar or not, this aspect should be encouraged.

Shiyu Kira watched silently without saying a word, but the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her feelings at that moment.

How interesting, this teammate doesn't exist in his own world.

Cheng Lixue felt her cheeks burning. She didn't dare to look up and could only continue to shrink behind the cushions, like a frightened ostrich.

However, just as she felt she was about to be completely consumed by this extreme sense of shame, Lu Mo's voice suddenly rang out again.

"Okay, that's enough."

He raised his hand, signaling her to stop.

“I have some more questions for you,” Lu Mo’s voice returned to its usual calm, as if the “performance” that had just been full of wicked humor had never happened. “I am more interested in your master’s current situation.”

Completely winning over Ritsuki will take time.

Cheng Lixue felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She quickly let go of the cushion in her hand, knelt down again, and tried her best to calm her wildly beating heart.

“Master…she is following the orders of Lord…Otto,” she took a breath and steered the conversation back on track, “infiltrating this academy as a spy.”

"A spy?" Lu Mo was not surprised at all; this development was following the original story.

But Kiana isn't here, so what is she supposed to be monitoring? Besides that, there's another question.

“That’s interesting.” He looked at Cheng Lixue and asked the most crucial question, which was also the one most full of logical flaws.

"With you here, won't her identity... be exposed?"

A complex expression appeared on Cheng Lixue's face, and she gently shook her head.

"No, Master."

Her voice regained its usual calmness, "Master's feelings are very complicated right now. Although she also resents and fears you, she also holds a sliver of... faint hope for the promise you once made to her."

“So,” she paused, as if organizing her thoughts, “no one in St. Freya knew about our relationship. In everyone’s eyes, even in our daily interactions… I didn’t recognize her.”

"The two of them are just ordinary teacher and student now," Shigure Kira added at the right moment, her tone carrying an obvious, amused air. "One is a top student with ulterior motives; the other is an ignorant junior who is kept in the dark."

“I see…” Lu Mo understood, and his hand, which was gently stroking Cheng Lixue, gradually became more unrestrained.

"Then I have a question... How did you get along with Fu Hua as her teacher?"

After all, if they wanted to hide their identities... it would be a problem between the two of them.

"Master, are you thinking about something unpleasant?" Cheng Lixue asked with a strange expression.

"How dare you say it's not a good thing! You really need to be punished!"

Lu Mo gave Cheng Lixue a light scolding, sounding rather annoyed.

Then, he gave a new "instruction" to Theresa, who had been looking at him expectantly with an expression full of "anticipation" and "desire for credit" since earlier.

"Theresa."

"Yes, Master!"

"Go and bring Fu Hua here. It's time to wrap things up."

“Yes, ma’am.” Theresa’s reply was crisp and clear, but she did not leave immediately.

"However... while you wait for her arrival, I have another equally important matter to report to you."

"Speak." Lu Mo's voice remained calm as he leaned comfortably against Shi Yu Qi Luo's "backrest," enjoying Cheng Li Xue's service.

"It's about those two S-rank Valkyries from Schicksal." Theresa's tone suddenly became extremely serious.

"Oh?" Lu Mo raised an eyebrow slightly. "Any new developments regarding them?"

“Yes,” Theresa’s expression turned serious. “First is Durandal. Like Kiana, she is also a… android. But her design purpose is different, so she will be difficult to deal with.”

Artificial humans?

Lu Mo suppressed a smile.

So that's how the script was set up. In the original story, she was the real Kiana.

But here... has she also become a replica created by Otto? Interesting.

After all, that person is the mastermind behind it all.

But out of respect for the script, he looked at Theresa with just the right amount of surprise on his face: "Just like Kiana? That's really..."

This is a bit tricky. With a script like this... wouldn't Durandal's loyalty level be even higher?
