"Are you practicing the Jadeite Divine Skill?"
In the history teacher's office, Hua sat on a soft executive chair, staring at the man in front of her.
Lucas nodded and said, "Yes."
"Where did you get the Jadeite Divine Skill?"
"It's a family heirloom."
Lucas replied.
Hua frowned slightly and said, "Family heirloom... Chinese martial arts are not easy to cultivate; aren't you afraid of making a mistake?"
Having problems while practicing martial arts.
For Lucas, who had only recently started martial arts,
it was basically commonplace.
But now it was different.
Lucas was proficient in the Jadeite Divine Skill, and there was no risk of qi deviation whatsoever.
Silence.
Lucas didn't speak, because he knew that Hua hadn't finished yet.
"I also know a little about the Jadeite Divine Skill... If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me."
"This student understands."
Lucas nodded again.
Hua, sitting upright, continued, "Remember not to be greedy and rush in Chinese martial arts; haste makes waste..."
There were only two people in the history teacher's office, a man and a woman alone in a room, like dry tinder and raging fire.
Smelling the faint lavender scent in the air.
Lucas was a bit distracted.
Hua, on the other hand, was lecturing endlessly.
During the lecture, time passed little by little.
Seeing that the ten-minute critical point was approaching.
Lucas said directly, "Teacher Hua, if we don't leave now, the cafeteria might run out of seats."
"Hmm? You're right, then let's go together."
Hua didn't give Lucas any room to refuse.
Could he refuse?
No, he couldn't.
Hua, both during the day and at night, was actually quite similar; Lucas simply couldn't refuse her requests.
Otherwise, it was very easy to trigger the "Fairy's Caress" END ending.
Walking on the way to the cafeteria.
Hua walked ahead, while Lucas lagged two steps behind, following not too far or too close.
The classical-looking woman's long hair fluttered.
She was within St. Freya Academy.
Hua looked a bit out of place; her attire was quite different from that of the students and teachers here.
She was like an ancient beauty who had just stepped out of a mural.
It was a pity her chest was too flat.
Her slightly bulging small purse was barely noticeable unless one looked closely.
As Lucas walked towards the cafeteria, he felt many gazes fixed on him and Hua.
Fortunately, the Vermilion Bird Immortal did not speak to him.
Otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome.
After a heart-pounding lunch, Hua finally left, and only then did Lucas feel he had escaped her clutches.
...
The afternoon training session was nothing noteworthy.
Lucas was simply put through a rigorous workout by Himeko Murata.
Unlike ordinary Valkyries, as a newcomer, Lucas received the attentive care of the Tsundere Redhead Onee-san.
1-on-1 beautiful instructor providing online guidance.
Four hours of high-intensity training tormented Lucas to the point of wanting to die.
Time quickly advanced to night.
Proceeding according to plan.
Lucas still chose to see Vielvie first.
Friday.
At 12:30 AM, Lucas arrived at Vielvie's laboratory.
The split-personality girl sat on a wooden chair, propping her chin with one hand and crossing her legs, saying, "Eden Star, I didn't expect you could actually get your hands on this thing... Not bad, huh... Let me see it."
Vielvie reached out unceremoniously.
Lucas drew the small black pistol from his waist and handed it to her.
Vielvie examined it carefully.
"Tsk... To think of using such a small item to hide the Eden Star, how interesting..."
With that, Vielvie pulled the trigger.
Instantly—a black-red sphere appeared at the muzzle, rapidly expanding and emitting a suction force.
Unlike the irresistible force from yesterday morning.
This time, Lucas could resist it.
"How... How did you do that? Why can't I?"
"It's simple... As long as you inject enough Honkai Energy and pull the trigger, you can activate the Eden Star inside this small pistol. Hmm... But for you, that seems a bit difficult."
Vielvie stood up, gently wiggling her delicate nose, and said, "After all, your Honkai Energy is too low."
"Even if you injected all your Honkai Energy, you probably wouldn't be able to activate the Eden Star."
Only four days had passed since he began cultivating the Jadeite Divine Skill.
Lucas only had four wisps of true qi in his body.
This capacity was far less than that of a Valkyrie with a Stigmata implanted.
Upon receiving this answer, Lucas felt a bit disheartened for a moment.
Vielvie put one arm around the man's shoulder, her ample bosom, clad in a low-cut top, bumping against him.
"However... as long as your Honkai Energy doubles, you should be able to activate the Eden Star once."
As a God Key, the Eden Star possessed a built-in Herrscher Core.
Energy supply was not an issue; as long as Lucas could activate it, he could unleash most of the God Key's power.
"It's a pity... Binbin, your strength is too weak. Using the Eden Star will definitely result in a backlash."
"Although this small pistol lowers the threshold for using the God Key..."
"But... the backlash of the Eden Star is absolutely not something you can withstand; you will die."
Vielvie, bumping him with her chest, reached out and kneaded the man's body.
Lucas's eyes flickered as he asked, "Do you have a way to upgrade this small pistol?"
"Well... that's a bit difficult."
Vielvie showed a troubled expression.
This small pistol looked ordinary.
In reality, it had a high technological content; its ability to store the Eden Star and lower its usage threshold was a clear indication of this.
Lucas gritted his teeth.
"If you need my help, just say the word."
"Heh... The things I need, I'm afraid you can't provide."
Vielvie gently shook her head.
Lucas asked, "Is it really impossible?"
The Eden Star was a powerful weapon that he had finally managed to obtain with great difficulty.
Lucas didn't want to leave it gathering dust.
"Actually, it's not impossible, but... I need a lot of time, at least half a year. Can you wait?"
Vielvie's delicate hand slowly unbuttoned the pajamas on Lucas's chest.
More than half a year...
Lucas instantly went numb.
That was such a distant unit of time.
Surviving for half a year was simply impossible.
But there was still another way.
Lucas could stack the reincarnation times one after another.
Each reincarnation would be one month.
He could bring the research data from the previous reincarnation to the next and give it to the new Vielvie.
However, for Lucas himself, this was a severe challenge.
It was obvious that Vielvie's research data would be extensive, and it would be too difficult for Lucas to memorize all of it and give it to the Vielvie in the next reincarnation.
"I don't have that much time."
Lucas shook his head.
Vielvie smiled and said, "Indeed, everyone's time is very tight... Do you want to have some fun?"
"No... I still have things to do."
Lucas shook his head.
Since Vielvie couldn't upgrade the small pistol, Lucas naturally needed to continue his pursuit of Theresa.
He now had a hunch that as long as he conquered the Headmaster, he could tear open a gap in St. Freya Academy.
That was the hope of clearing the Inner World.
Vielvie did not try to keep Lucas. After he left, the split-personality girl whispered, "Mobius... Is this your masterpiece?"
