Lucas exhaled, thinking, "I'm safe. Now I just need to find Welt Yang's old desk…"
Compared to S-Class Valkyrie offices like Mei or Himeko Murata's, Welt Yang, an ordinary teacher at St. Freya Academy, shared an office with others.
Lucas glanced around; the room had over a dozen desks.
Which was Welt Yang's?
He'd check one by one.
Per the archives, not much time had passed since Welt Yang's dismissal.
Lucas estimated history textbooks remained on his desk.
Outside, the C-level Valkyrie pounded and shouted.
Lucas ignored her; the door was locked, and he'd tampered with the corridor window.
Night Valkyries couldn't enter.
The issue was escaping later.
Unlike the archive room, N307 had many windows.
Lucas could climb to the next room, avoiding being trapped.
Welt Yang's desk was easy to find.
Using moonlight, Lucas found history books in minutes, confirming the desk with Welt Yang's name.
His belongings weren't fully cleared.
Could he find Himeko Murata's item?
Lucas rummaged through drawers and cabinets.
Hard work paid off.
He found a small black booklet deep in a cabinet, Welt Yang's name boldly written.
Eagerly opening it, Lucas found a diary.
Who writes diaries? (image of a skeptical person)
Puzzled, Lucas read carefully. Early entries noted trivial matters, like students failing exams.
Kiana appeared often.
To avoid missing details, Lucas read page by page.
After ten pages, his spirits lifted.
[XX Month XX Day.]
[Weather: Sunny. St. Freya Academy is peaceful, but… something strange recently feels odd.]
[Headmaster is ill, muttering strange things.]
[She's dismissing male employees en masse.]
[I'm worried I'm next.]
[XX Month XX Day.]
[Weather: Cloudy. My worries came true. Headmaster wants me gone… But St. Freya feels wrong.]
[Not just Headmaster; some Valkyries seem like different people.]
[I've seen Valkyries wandering at night.]
[Some staff were killed by them.]
[What's going on?]
[Leaving St. Freya might be good.]
Outside, Night Valkyries kept knocking and shouting.
Danger grew.
Lucas sat, calmly turning the page.
[XX Month XX Day.]
[I thought others were strange, but I have a problem.]
[I can't control my actions sometimes.]
[Like another person inside me.]
[Terrifying.]
[This made me remember things. I can't sit idle; I must act.]
[Or everyone dies.]
Lucas frowned. "Honkai Energy leads to corruption…"
Not just females.
Otto, Welt Yang, Kevin—likely in danger too.
"They wouldn't…"
Lucas clenched his buttocks, unnerved.
A straight man, he'd heard claims that men bored with women might turn to men.
Lucas wasn't bored, nor interested in men.
Shaking his head, he continued.
[XX Month XX Day.]
[After investigation and new memories,]
[I confirmed one thing.]
[St. Freya is undergoing a Honkai event, also Destiny Headquarters, World Serpent, Anti-Entropy…]
[Lucas, if you're reading this,]
[Bronya told you about me, right?]
"Huh?"
Lucas scratched his head.
Welt Yang mentioning him and Honkai was odd.
What did Bronya have to do with it?
Lucas came because of Himeko, not Bronya.
"Leader, you guessed wrong."
[You're wondering why I know you.]
[I'm wondering too, but…]
[That doesn't matter.]
[This is key.]
[Please remember.]
Lucas, you must help the Headmaster. She and Himeko Murata can be trusted, Ai Yi too, but be careful—she's plotting something.
Ai Yi likely won't harm you, but her thinking is extreme.
Don't worry too much; these are guesses. Judge for yourself.
Ai Yi… Headmaster, Himeko Murata, Bronya, Herrscher of Sentience, Welt Yang…
Lucas muttered their names.
Welt Yang's view of Ai Yi was rational, matching Lucas's.
Himeko and Theresa? He disagreed.
Be careful of new S-Class Valkyries; some have ill intentions.
I dare not leave much here. I told Himeko Murata much and asked her to investigate.
If in doubt, find Teacher Himeko; she'll help.
Also…
Your strength may struggle against Valkyries, so I hid a weapon in a locker in the Underground Training Ground.
Use it well.
"A weapon? Eden Star?"
