This nun was about the same age as Yulis Mikami and seemed to be from the Star Pulse Generation, just like Tyrese.

She nudged Juliet with her elbow and chatted happily in hushed tones. Juliet responded with an innocent smile, and the atmosphere suggested there was no awkwardness between them. Several other nuns of similar age gathered around Juliet.

"……Great."

"what?"

Tireze suddenly whispered, and Mikami Hiroyu turned his gaze back.

"Fortunately, Yulis chose someone like you."

“Uh, actually I…” Tyreze’s words made it sound like Mikami Hiroyu was Yulis’s boyfriend. Mikami Hiroyu wanted to explain, but Tyreze spoke up first: “Don’t be shy. I could tell from the way you looked at Yulis just now.”

Teresa smiled slightly and clapped her hands at Yulis and the others: "Alright, alright, that's enough for now. Go back to work. Otherwise you'll miss Epiphany."

"Okay,"

The nuns reluctantly departed. After watching them leave, Yu Shen Haoyu spoke up, "Aren't some of the nuns here from the Star Vein generation?"

"Well, including myself, there are four of us right now. If you include the children, there should be more."

If it wasn't a deliberate gathering, having four Starves of the same age in a facility of this size is quite a lot. Moreover, based on my observation just now, her footwork also revealed a considerable level of training. This Sister Tyrese is no ordinary person!

"Incidentally, Sister Tyrese was my mentor as a witch," Julis added from the side.

Is that so?

"I originally intended to teach her how to protect herself, but unexpectedly, she learned quite quickly. Now she is far more proficient in using her power than I am."

Yulis's tactics are indeed quite good; while not top-tier, they're certainly above average. It seems Yulis has found a good mentor; some fighting habits, once formed, are very difficult to change.

Yuu noticed that Tyreze kept glancing behind him. Yuu turned around and saw that there was nothing special in the room. There was only a small, quaint building with a glass facade on the other side of the window.

"Is that... a greenhouse?"

“That’s right, there used to be a child who loved that place. That child wasn’t good at fighting… he was really gentle.”

Suddenly, Eurythm stood up from her chair.

"Julis?"

"Excuse me. I'm going outside for some fresh air."

After saying this, Eurythm left the room.

"call……"

Tyrese, her eyes filled with sorrow as she watched Eurythus depart, sighed heavily and said softly.

"It still doesn't work..."

P.S.: "Requesting flowers," "Requesting tips," "Requesting favorites," or "Requesting monthly votes."

Chapter 3722 Ophelia

When Mikami Hiroyu came outside, he saw Yulis surrounded by children.

"Excuse me, everyone, I'll be leaving for a moment. Please also pass on my message to the nuns," Euryth said gently, crouching down to be at eye level with the children.

"Oh! Is the princess leaving so soon?"

"He just got back."

The children expressed their dissatisfaction, but Yulis smiled wryly and stroked each of their heads.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back. Until then, you all continue to help the nuns; preparing for the Epiphany seems to be quite tiring."

Although they still looked somewhat dissatisfied, the children were obedient enough to run back into the house.

Mikami Hiroyu walked up to Yulis and said, "Let's take a walk!"

Eurythm put on her hood, lowered her head, and started walking.

Stepping out of the church courtyard, one is immediately greeted by desolate streets. It feels similar to the redevelopment area of ​​Asterisk, but the scenery is quite different.

The two rows of houses were either so old they looked like they could collapse at any moment, or dilapidated shacks without even foundations. Although a few resembled apartment buildings, their walls were covered in countless cracks and graffiti. Garbage was carelessly discarded by the roadside, and in a small open space, a few figures who appeared to be residents were gathered around a fire. Stealing a glance at them, I saw that everyone was listless, their eyes dull, staring indifferently at the burning flames.

The entire town seemed to be oppressed by an unseen force, making it hard to breathe.

"I'm sorry, I'm feeling a bit unsettled today."

Not long after, Yuri Green whispered.

"Such times are inevitable."

I don't know which part of the conversation with Tyrese resonated with Julis, but it must have been quite important to her.

"I really can't say anything to my brother about the fact that I can't fully express my feelings."

Yu Shenhao hesitated for a moment: "Yobert is very worried about you, Yulis."

“I know.” Eurythm pressed her lips together. “Of course I know. I know how much my brother values ​​me above all else, and how exceptionally blessed I am.”

Rather than telling Mikami Hiroyu, these words sounded more like they were being spoken to himself.

“Even so… no, precisely because of this, I cannot tolerate the state of this country. The wish I made after winning the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival was to buy this orphanage in Lezetania to secure its future operating funds, but it is ultimately a drop in the ocean. The system of this world itself continues to create such slums, such an orphanage, and the children who depend on it for survival.”

Yu Shen Haoyu remained silent. This world was controlled by the Integrated Corporate Consortium, which constantly created a certain number of economically disadvantaged individuals, essentially a gap between the rich and the poor. Of course, this was also a kind of karmic burden similar to that of humanity throughout history, but the Integrated Corporate Consortium was accelerating this gap at an alarming rate.

"At the very least, I hope this country can break free from this curse. Even if it's impossible, we should at least retaliate."

"Is this... the wish to win the next Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival?"

Upon hearing Yushin Hiroyu's question, Yulis nodded slightly.

Remember how Yulis never hesitated from the beginning to declare her ambition to win the Grand Slam? In other words, winning the Star Festival championship once was simply not enough.

What Yu Shenhaoyu wants to say is that if you want to change the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall situation, overall structure, and overall situation), winning the Star Martial Festival championship multiple times is not enough.

To fundamentally solve the problem, the conglomerates that create the huge wealth gap must be eliminated; otherwise, all efforts will be in vain.

Yushin Hiroyu didn't say these things to Yulis, because it would be pointless; these were things Yushin Hiroyu had to do himself.

“The orphanage was in dire financial straits, so saving them was a priority. That was my first goal, and I achieved it.” At this point, Julis suddenly stopped. “But… I was indeed too willful, relying entirely on my brother’s kindness. I…”

Yulis's voice was filled with intense distress; it was the first time Huan Dou had ever seen Yulis like this.

"Julis..." Just as Mikami Hiroyu hesitated about what to say.

Suddenly, Juliet looked up abruptly, her previously troubled expression turning into one of utter astonishment.

Her eyes widened, and her body trembled slightly: "What just happened...?"

"Julis?"

Yulis's gaze seemed to be fixed on the car that had just sped through the slums. The car was moving very fast and disappeared in an instant.

"No, it must be true. That really is...!"

Yulis's eyes blazed with anger, and she clenched her teeth tightly.

"Julis? What happened...?"

"Haoyu, I'm sorry, you can go back to the orphanage and wait for me. I have something to take care of."

As soon as Eurythm uttered her words, she suddenly took off running.

Yu Shenhao shook his head with a wry smile. With Yulis in this state, how could he possibly go back? He followed Yulis all the way.

This area was outside the slums, and the surrounding scenery quickly transformed into snow and forest. Eurythm seemed to be chasing after the car that had just been there.

The narrow, winding road seemed to lead to the other side of the mountain. There were no other vehicles on the road, so it was probably not a main road.

Knowing where the car was headed, Yuri chose the fork in the road leading into the forest without hesitation.

They were traveling through a snowy forest when they soon saw the car from before stop. Yulis slowed down, and Yuujin Hiroyu also stopped.

Only then did Yu Shen Haoyu realize that something was wrong with his surroundings. The trees looked different from before.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that every tree in the area had withered.

Moreover, as we walked forward, even the withered trees gradually disappeared. The place where the car stopped was completely open, forming a huge space. From above, it probably looked like a circular plain suddenly appearing in the middle of a forest.

Yulis showed no interest in the car, her gaze fixed on a single point as she slowly walked forward. Ahead lay a pure white snowfield, marked by footprints left on it.

Following the footprints, Yu Shenhaoyu noticed something was off about the ground. He crouched down and brushed away the snow, immediately catching a pungent, unpleasant stench.

The falling snowflakes seem to be getting stronger; if this continues, a blizzard might break out soon.

Upon closer inspection, a ruined building stood in the center of the plain. The building was almost completely collapsed, its original shape unrecognizable, but it had once seemed to be a fairly large facility. A figure stood before the ruins.

Eurythm stopped ahead and said to the figure, "It's been a long time, Ophelia."

Chapter 3723 You want to spar with me?

The girl Yulis called Ophelia slowly turned around. She was wearing Rewough's uniform, except for gloves that covered her elbows and white tights. She didn't even have a coat in the heavy snow.

The silent sound was as cold as a piercing chill, as if it were a sound emanating from the depths of the earth, ghostly and empty. The other party's stellar energy was quite abundant, clearly flowing throughout her entire body; it shouldn't be said that she was composed of stellar energy.

But what's most striking is her long, pure white hair that blends seamlessly into the surrounding snowscape, and her ruby-red eyes. Her gaze is like a crimson moon, a symbol of misfortune, and her voice is equally cold and piercing, carrying the weight of desolate darkness. Yet her expression is filled with a sorrowful urge to burst forth.

Mikami Hiroyu rarely leaves the Star Guide Hall, so he can only learn about the outside world through television and the media, but he still knows about Ophelia and Landorupen.

Ophelia and Landorufen are quite famous, having dominated two King Ryusei Martial Arts Festivals. Along with Helga and Lindova, they are considered the strongest witches in Asterisk Wars history, and are ranked number one at Rewolf Black Academy.

"It must have been a year since we last met. I never expected to see you again in a place like this."

Eurythm's expression remained grim, but her voice held a hint of nostalgia.

“I have warned you repeatedly not to have anything to do with me anymore,” Ophelia replied curtly and coldly, her expression still sorrowful.

For a moment, Yulis pursed her lips in regret, then looked at Ophelia with a piercing gaze.

“My request remains the same as it was a year ago. Come back, Ophelia. This is not the world you belong in.”

"Stop talking, Julis. I'm just following my destiny, and you can't change it."

Ophelia shook her head weakly, clearly expressing her refusal.

"I absolutely refuse to admit it!"

Eurythm's voice was almost a shout.

Ophelia closed her eyes and placed her hand on the school badge on her chest.

"My fate is now here. If you insist on forcing me to obey, then so be it."

"Yes, of course I know! But this time it's not like a year ago!"

Just as Eurythm finished speaking, the power of the stars surged forth.

"Wait, wait a minute, Julis!"

Yushin Hiroyu, no longer able to stand by and watch the drama unfold, rushed out to stop Yulis.

The difference in levels between Julis and Ophelia is too great. For Ophelia to defeat Julis would be as easy as an adult defeating a newborn baby.

"Haoyu, don't make a move! This is a private matter between me and Ophelia!" Yulis shouted without turning her head.

Sensing the strong determination in her voice, Yu Shenhaoyu couldn't help but retract the step he was about to take.

"This time I'm going to smash your school badge to pieces!"

A wave of heat swept around Euryth, and a fiery war wheel appeared.

"Bloom, Red Round Blazing Flower!"

With a wave of his arm, nearly twenty war wheels immediately flew towards Ophelia. However, the leading war wheel plummeted rapidly in front of Ophelia, scrambling towards the ground.

The scorching war wheels melted the ice and snow in the blink of an eye, sending water vapor and snowflakes swirling in the air. It might have been just a simple illusion, but it was enough to obscure the view for a moment. Taking advantage of the opening, the war wheels split into two groups, flanking Ophelia and launching a powerful attack.

It must be said that Yulis's combat skills have improved greatly; her positioning and timing are both perfect.

Unfortunately, this only works against opponents of similar strength. Against a defeated enemy like Ophelia, Yulis's actions not only fail to confuse her, but instead bring her trouble.

Yu Shenhaoyu's prediction was correct; on the other side of the white screen, a powerful stellar force expanded.

Ophelia and Landorupen's stellar power seemed limitless, and it was also extremely aggressive. Although they couldn't compare to Yuuyu, they were the strongest stellar power Yuuyu had ever seen, without exception! Even Helga and Lindova, who were hailed as the strongest witches in Asterisk's history, didn't give Yuuyu this feeling.

The raging starlight power far surpassed the power Yulis unleashed, instantly dispersing the snow and smoke. The air vibrated, emanating a ferocious and threatening aura that seemed to crush everything in its path.

Before her, Ophelia stood motionless, while countless arms rose from beneath her feet like wisps of smoke, writhing like the dead. The dark brown arms, seemingly highly poisonous, swayed like wisps of steam, appearing less like solids and more like gases.
