"N-No way! As the headmaster of this school, I'm not scared at all…" Theresa got off Himeko, her face flushed as she weakly tried to defend herself.
"Sure, sure!" Himeko covered her mouth, laughing quietly, not bothering to hide her amusement.
"Ugh! You're laughing at me, aren't you?" Theresa, cheeks red with embarrassment, took her tiny fists and began to lightly punch Himeko's leg.

"Right! Everyone, hurry up and eat; these buns were bought by our class monitor, Fu Hua," Kiana said as she handed out the buns to everyone.
"??? I don't remember buying any buns," Fu Hua looked confused at first, then speechless.
Kiana stopped chewing and looked at Fu Hua in disbelief. She had just claimed she wouldn't mistake the class monitor, but the truth came back to bite her fast.
Everyone turned their eyes to Kiana, waiting to see how she would explain herself.
…
Otto looked at the two masked individuals glaring at him with malicious intent. Swallowing nervously, he was just about to speak when he was knocked to the ground.
"Who… who are you two… uh!"
"So, you're Otto, huh!"
"Ahh! Ahhh! AHHH!!" (Imagine Tom's screams from Tom and Jerry)
"Ahhhhhh! Stop, stop, please! If you keep hitting me, I'll die!"
Let ask the author to go back in time…
"That was a really good nap."
Fu Lin got out of bed, stretched, feeling completely refreshed and free from all worries.
"Fu Shi, what are you doing on the wall?"
Fu Lin looked at the Herrscher of Sentience hanging on the wall and realized that his nap had wiped all his worries away—he even forgot he was the one who put her there.
Hearing Fu Lin's call, the Herrscher of Sentience opened her eyes and glared at him with a look full of resentment.
Feeling uneasy under her intense gaze, Fu Lin thought, Did I actually do something to wrong her?
"Aren't you coming down?"
"Mmph... mmph..." With her mouth sealed, the Herrscher of Sentience could only make muffled sounds, wriggling as she tried to move.
"Oh—right, I forgot I tied you up," Fu Lin finally realized, then added sarcastically, "Can't you free yourself? A little Honkai energy like that shouldn't be able to restrain you."
Upon hearing his remark, the Herrscher of Sentience froze, wide-eyed, staring him down.
Time itself seemed to stop.
The Herrscher of Sentience easily broke free from her restraints, landed on the ground, and ripped the tape off her mouth, looking at Fu Lin with a smirk.
She felt like a complete fool for hanging on the wall for so long. If other Herrschers found out about this, she'd probably have to relocate to Mars out of embarrassment.
"So, how does it feel, oh mighty Herrscher of Sentience?"
"Hmph—I'll remember this grudge," she said, turning her head away, looking both upset and on the verge of tears.
"?" Fu Lin heard her words and thought, Is she borrowing lines from Eula next door now?
"Put on your mask; today, I'm taking you to the headquarters of Schicksal to fulfill the long-held wish of… beating up Otto," Fu Lin said, pulling out a mask. Normally, he'd be reluctant to go, but he had to indulge the Herrscher of Sentience's request.
It definitely wasn't because Otto embarrassed him last night, right, Fu Lin?
Fu Lin (gritting his teeth): Right, it's all for Fu Shi.
"Yay!" The Herrscher of Sentience cheered, grabbing Fu Lin's hand excitedly as they flew off toward Schicksal.
Meanwhile, in his office at Schicksal headquarters, Otto felt a sudden chill down his spine. Why do I have a bad feeling?
"There's Schicksal headquarters up ahead. Are we sneaking in, or should we just storm in?" The Herrscher of Sentience pointed toward the faintly visible floating island, clenching her fists eagerly as if Otto were already in sight.
"Our target is Otto alone. There's no need to cause a huge commotion. Put on your mask, and we'll sneak in," Fu Lin said as he put on his mask.
"Fu Shi, you'll handle hypnotizing any Valkyries on our path to make us invisible. Yae Sakura, you'll use the Key of Corruption to interfere with the surveillance and alarm systems," Fu Lin added, summoning Yae Sakura.
"No problem; leave it to me," the Herrscher of Sentience said, waving confidently as if to say, I got this.
"…Alright." Yae Sakura, holding Higokumaru, looked at the two, feeling slightly concerned.
"Then let's move!"
…
"Do you even know where Otto is? We've been walking around for thirty minutes," Fu Lin whispered, stopping the Herrscher of Sentience, who was leading the way.
"…Just trust my instincts," the Herrscher of Sentience said after a brief pause, leaving Fu Lin speechless.
"So you're telling me… you have no idea where Otto is?" Fu Lin sighed, realizing they'd been wandering aimlessly this whole time.
"Why don't we just grab a Valkyrie and ask?" The Herrscher of Sentience pointed at a white-haired girl with a golden crystal visor up ahead.
"That'll have to do. Isn't that Otto's secretary, Amber?" Seeing the white-haired girl walking toward them, Fu Lin couldn't help but think they'd just gotten lucky. No one would know Otto's whereabouts better than Amber.
Amber walked right past them, oblivious to the three "lurkers" nearby.
"Mmff…!" Before she could react, Amber found herself pulled into a small, dark room, her mouth covered.
"Who are you?" Amber looked at the three in front of her, alert, one hand behind her, ready to press the alarm.
"Miss, we mean no harm; we just want to have a little chat with Otto. Do you know where he is?" Fu Lin leaned in, lifting her chin slightly as he asked.
"I have nothing to say… huh?!" Amber pressed the alarm button, but it was futile—it didn't work.
"Don't waste your energy resisting."
"There's an old saying in Shenzhou: sorry I don't really care about the saying— but what it means is that we three here can certainly persuade you to tell us where Otto is." Fu Lin wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, speaking in a reasoned tone.
"…" Yae Sakura was speechless.
"…" Amber was speechless.
"Fu Lin, what exactly did your ancestors do for a living?" The Herrscher of Sentience asked cautiously, hearing his flawless nonsense.
"…Fu Shi, just go ahead and read her memory. And remember to erase any memories of us," Fu Lin replied, avoiding her question and clearly unwilling to continue the conversation.
"Found him. Let's go," said the Herrscher of Sentience, using her powers to search through memories until she pinpointed Otto's location. After erasing the relevant memories, she led Fu Lin and Yae Sakura toward Otto's office.
"Huh? How did I get here?" Amber stood up, looking around in confusion, completely unaware of what had just transpired.
"Otto's inside, playing his Kallen fantasy game," the Herrscher of Sentience muttered, arms crossed and clearly unimpressed as they stood before Otto's office.
"... Yae Sakura, you can rest now. Things might get a bit unpleasant in here, so we'll handle the rest ourselves," Fu Lin said, his expression dark as he exchanged a knowing look with the Herrscher of Sentience, both of them practically glaring at the door as if they could already see Otto through it.
"...Alright." Yae Sakura nodded, understanding their intent, and returned to the Stigmata space, relieved to avoid the impending scene.
Fu Lin grinned, "Shall I go first, or would you like to start?"
"Why don't we both go together?" The Herrscher of Sentience said playfully, twirling a strand of hair with a mischievous smile.
"Maybe we shouldn't overdo it—what if Otto can't handle it? Oh, and make sure to seal his consciousness so he can't escape through a mental transfer."

----------------------------
Fu Lin revealed a wicked smile, kindly reminding Fu Shi, while glancing at the stigmata on the back of his hand "Yae Sakura, remember to set Otto's soulium body's pain perception to the highest level later."
The stigmata flickered slightly, and after receiving Yae Sakura's response, Fu Lin couldn't wait to hit someone.
"Fu Lin, you really thought this through; you're so wicked~" the Herrscher of Sentience gave Fu Lin a thumbs up.
"Keep it low-key, low-key." Otto heard the noise from outside the door, stopped the game he was playing, and opened the door to see Fu Lin and Fu Shi, who were just about to pull the door open, leading to the scene at the beginning of the previous chapter.
"I didn't know you two were... uh!"
Fu Lin exchanged a glance with Otto and the Herrscher of Sentience. Fu Lin casually stuffed a piece of rag into Otto's mouth and then simultaneously extended his fist to punch him in the face.
"You're the one called Otto, right!"
"You're the one who ran into a tree and caused trouble for others, right!"
Otto 'That was done by another me, not me!'
"You're the one who's the Archbishop of Schicksal, right!"
Fu Lin continued to kick Otto in the face without stopping, while the Herrscher of Sentience struck at the man's vital points without relent.
"Ahhh, Ahhh~" Otto watched the two and attempted to shift his consciousness to a spare body and escape, only to realize there was no way to get away, so he had to endure the humiliation until they got tired from beating him.
"Otto, don't blame me! I'm just as heartbroken," Fu Lin said, his mouth nearly stretching to his ears as he kicked harder, completely contradicting his words.
"Stop! Big brothers, I think you're from the Shenzhou, right? Shouldn't you have some sense of reason and virtue? I don't even know who you two are, yet you're ganging up on me like this," Otto trembled as he raised his hand to signal for them to stop, his face filled with grievance.
"Speak reason? Sure! We, the people of the Shenzhou, are the best at reasoning. Do you prefer to be persuaded by reason or ruled by virtue? Or do you want both? Don't worry, we're proficient in all aspects; our skills are top-notch." After saying that, Fu Lin had the Herrscher of Sentience take out a spiked club and a brick with the character for virtue written on it, and they continued their assault.
One hour later...
"Fu Lin, Otto's soulium body is really tough; both my hands are sore from hitting him." The Herrscher of Sentience put away the weapons and twisted her wrist. After finishing with Otto, she instantly felt refreshed; her back no longer hurt, her legs weren't sore anymore, and she felt like she could take on ten Kevin's.
"By general theory, Otto's soulium body is indeed quite hard." Fu Lin grabbed Otto by his face and lifted him up, gradually increasing the pressure. One must admit that the sound of Otto's soulium body's face creaking was truly delightful, lacking the harsh noise of metal grinding together.
After throwing Otto aside onto the ground, he picked up the tea and snacks he had prepared and started eating.
"Hiss! You two really hit hard~." Otto slowly stood up from the ground, feeling the pain radiating through his body, unable to help but gasp in surprise as he moved his battered body, which creaked with every step, toward Fu Lin and the Herrscher of Sentience.
"Just so-so," Fu Lin glanced at Otto and said politely.
"You two didn't come all this way just to beat me up, right? I don't seem to have offended either of you," Otto sat down opposite Fu Lin, staring at the two masked individuals without any recollection of them.
"Sorry~ but we really did come specifically to beat you up," Fu Lin spread his hands, speaking in a cheeky tone.
".....Haha~ you must be joking," Otto was taken aback by Fu Lin's blunt words and forced a laugh.
"Archbishop Otto..... I'm not lying... Or do you want to experience it again?" Fu Lin toyed with the brick in his hand, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"So you two are deliberately looking for trouble?" Otto covered his forehead, speaking as if in disbelief, but he really couldn't believe anyone would dare storm the Schicksal headquarters just to beat him up.
However, looking at the two in front of him who resembled bullies, it felt like his consciousness was locked, and he couldn't escape, let alone notify the Valkyries outside.
"Whoosh~ spit!"
"What? You want us to stay?" Fu Lin took a sip of the wine handed to him by Fu Shi, tilted his head to swish it around, drank a sip and then spat it into the trash can.
"This bottle of red wine is worth millions, a global limited edition..." Otto observed the wine bottle's appearance and Fu Lin's actions, his lips twitching.
"....." Fu Lin and the Herrscher of Sentience exchanged glances, realizing that with just that one sip, they had wasted over a hundred thousand!
They couldn't help but curse inwardly 'spoiled rich kid!'
Having finished beating him up, Fu Lin wanted to make a quick exit to avoid any surprises.
"The mountains remain unchanged, the waters flow long; until we meet again, there will be more days to come," Fu Lin and the Herrscher of Sentience clasped their fists toward Otto, grabbed the bottle of red wine, and turned to jump out the window, leaving Schicksal's headquarters.
....
"....They really came to beat me up.... Amber, help me prepare a new soulium body," Otto sighed in relief as he watched the two leave, looking at his damaged soulium body and contacting Amber.
"Okay, Lord Otto."
"..."
"Fu Lin, are we really leaving like this?" The Herrscher of Sentience asked Fu Lin, who was behind her.
"What else can we do? Otto has already gotten his fill of beating; should we stay and eat Schicksal's prison food?" Fu Lin protected the bottle of red wine, sitting cross-legged on the armrest while looking at the Herrscher of Sentience wielding her sword.
The Herrscher of Sentience pondered, "I wonder what Schicksal's prison food is like."
"...." Fu Lin was at a loss for words. How could the Herrscher of Sentience ask such a question, one that could only come from a certain paramecium?
Could it be that the Herrscher of Sentience accidentally connected to the network of the Kaslana family?
The Herrscher of Sentience asked Fu Lin, "Where are we going now?"
"...Let's go back to the hotel first; we still have a prop we haven't used," Fu Lin supported his head, finally recalling the Q&A livestream room they had drawn earlier.
"Oh! I can't wait!" The Herrscher of Sentience took off at full speed toward the hotel, excited just hearing the name of the prop.
"No need to rush like that!" Fu Lin put away the wine and hugged the Herrscher of Sentience's calf, his face already distorted by the wind.
"You have the strength of old antique at its peak; why act weak for no reason? Get it together!" The Herrscher of Sentience slowed down and looked at Fu Lin tugging at her calf, complaining and forgetting that she was wearing a skirt.
Fu Lin began to speak seriously but nonsensically "...You wouldn't understand; male protagonists in novels are always like this, pretending to be weak and then surprising everyone at the critical moment. If you don't believe me, just ask the 'Eminence in Shadow' next door."
"And I'm not pretending to be weak; I just haven't encountered a worthy opponent. Whether it's the simulated Higokumaru or fighting the Herrscher of Domination in the parallel world before, I've always taken them out with one hit, leaving Fu Hua, Bronya, and Kiana dumbfounded at the time." Fu Lin continued to hug Fu Shi calf, thinking about a rebuttal for a moment before proudly saying.
"If I remember correctly, Kiana was nearly unconscious at that time; how could she have seen your brave actions?" The Herrscher of Sentience looked at Fu Lin with a strange expression, instantly exposing the flaw in his statement.
"..." Fu Lin was left speechless and turned his gaze to the clouds nearby.
"Speaking of the simulated Herrscher of Corruption, why do I feel like I've forgotten something?" The Herrscher of Sentience stroked her chin, trying hard to recall what she had forgotten.
Seeing this, Fu Lin shrank her neck and whistled to disrupt the Herrscher of Sentience's train of thought!
"...Well, if it's hard, then fists win. Otto didn't get enough beating earlier; how about we go back and you take over?"
