"Impossible!", Theresa waved her hand firmly, a look of certainty on her face.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Standing across from her, Levi wore a mysterious smile.
"Ms. Theresa, what kind of courage would I need to dare to fabricate something impossible just to deceive you?"
After hearing this, Theresa froze for a moment.
That's right. Nobody would make up a reason that was obviously fake… except Kiana. She's a single-celled organism, not counted as a person.
Kiana, sitting in the chair, seemed to sense something and looked around sharply.
When her gaze landed on Bronya, she even paused for dozens of seconds, but didn't find anything wrong.
"Strange…"
Kiana withdrew her gaze and muttered, "Why do I feel like someone was talking bad about me behind my back?"
Must be her imagination.
Theresa raised her head, crossed her arms over her chest, her blue eyes identical to Kiana's fixed on Levi.
A reason that looks fake at first glance would be easily exposed because it's extremely unreasonable or simply impossible.
Since the other party dared to use "I'm a visitor from another world, and the agency is a gateway connecting other worlds" as an excuse, then she wanted to see exactly how he planned to prove that what he said wasn't fake at all.
"No, no, no, Ms. Theresa, it seems you've misunderstood something…"
Looking at the man shaking his head in front of her, Theresa frowned tightly. "What is it?"
"What reason do you have, what qualification do you have, and from what position… that requires me to explain the authenticity of the agency to you?"
A flame suddenly ignited in Levi's palm. It was like it had physical form, sliding back and forth between his fingers.
Finally he grabbed it, and when he opened his hand again, the flame was already gone.
"Ms. Theresa, you are very strong, but… I'm not weak either!"
Raiden Mei looked curiously at his palm. That little display just now was very appealing to someone like her who hadn't been exposed to Honkai for long.
But to the other Honkai veterans, it looked rather ordinary.
Theresa, who had already roughly guessed he wasn't an ordinary person, didn't show any change in expression when she saw this.
Their eyes met in midair, as if sparks were appearing between them.
Seeing that Theresa and Levi hadn't spoken for a long time, Kiana thought Theresa was about to prove her strength by letting Levi get a taste of Judah.
But contrary to what she expected, Theresa didn't want to argue too much with this junior, especially since he was her niece's only male friend.
"As Kiana's aunt and also her superior, can't I at least understand where my niece is working?"
But she still insisted on finding out what Kiana was disappearing to do from time to time.
Theresa slapped the table and stood up, but Levi intercepted her halfway and pressed her back down with one hand.
Forced to sit back down, Theresa looked at Levi with a somewhat stunned expression.
"You sit, I stand. I must not overstep! Fu… Ms. Theresa!"
Hearing a voice exactly the same as her cheap boss's, especially with even the height not that different, Levi almost called her by the wrong name.
"Good!"
Theresa almost couldn't help applauding him. She turned her head to look at Himeko sitting beside her.
Usually this bunch didn't treat her like their superior at all, and most of the time they just treated her like a child.
This year she was already...
Cough cough… a girl's age is a secret…
Anyway, not over a hundred.
Theresa turned back, looking at Levi with satisfaction as he stood there respectfully, just short of putting her on an offering table.
She had almost forgotten that she was the principal of St. Freya Academy.
The entire academy was her property.
She had the authority to expel anyone she didn't like.
At this moment Himeko spoke up, "Theresa, this is the modern era. People believe in equality."
"I know, I know. I wouldn't really do that!"
Theresa shot Himeko a glare. She was just saying it for fun. How could she possibly do something like that?
Turning back to Levi, Theresa still wanted to see what kind of explanation he would give.
Would he honestly confess his true identity, continue making up lies to patch things together, or was everything he said… actually true?
Levi, who had been smiling, now seemed to have run into a difficult problem. His brows furrowed as he slowly lowered his head.
This really wasn't easy to prove.
After all, he himself didn't have the ability to travel between worlds. He couldn't just take Theresa to another world to see.
That simplest method of proof could be ruled out.
If he used items from other worlds, such as technology more advanced than this world, to prove it, Theresa might still think it was hidden technology from some organization.
After all, Schicksal itself possessed technology ahead of this world.
Unless he drove the Luofu over here…
But if he did that, Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan would most likely come after him.
"How do you want me to prove it?"
If you can't solve a problem, throw the problem to someone else.
Levi looked at Theresa, preparing to see how she wanted him to prove it.
After thinking for a moment, Theresa said, "Kiana always says you're saving the world, so you must have the ability to predict danger, right?"
If they didn't have the ability to foresee danger and know about it in advance, how could they possibly make it in time to save the world?
If they only learned about it from others, it would already be too late.
Of course, it could also be because of his intelligence network.
But they had never appeared in this world before, so even if he wanted to build an intelligence network, he couldn't have built one in such a short time.
Not to mention that Schicksal existed.
Any disturbance anywhere in the world would attract Schicksal's attention.
But Schicksal had been quiet lately, so it could be inferred that he hadn't established any intelligence network here yet.
Levi returned to his previous expression, smiling as he looked at Theresa.
'Okay! Things just got easier!'
He seemed to already know what Theresa was going to say next.
"Help me predict where the next Herrscher will appear, and her real identity."
"The First Herrscher: Herrscher of Reason, the Second Herrscher: Herrscher of the Void, the Third Herrscher: Herrscher of Thunder…"
As he spoke, Levi's gaze swept across Kiana, and when he mentioned the Third Herrscher, it stopped on Raiden Mei.
When he saw Himeko and Bronya step together to block his line of sight, Levi just smiled and didn't pay it any mind.
He continued looking at Theresa.
"As for the identity of the Fourth Herrscher… are you sure you want to know?"
"This information might be, well, quite shocking to you."
Wendy, Theresa's student.
Once praised as the most promising genius of this generation to become the fourth S-rank Valkyrie.
Unfortunately, because of Theresa's well-intentioned recommendation, her legs were paralyzed, and she could only spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
A bright future cut off just like that.
If Theresa were to learn that this student of hers not only lost her Valkyrie career because of her, but would also become a Herrscher in the near future.
'Heh…'
During that time, she probably wouldn't even be able to drink her favorite bitter melon juice.
