"Director Kafka, good morning."
"Good morning."
Just yesterday, Lu Yu was late, but today he woke up early, finished his breakfast in the cafeteria, and came to his and Director Kafka's office.
Hearing Lu Yu's greeting, Kafka, who was having breakfast at her desk, looked up at him.
Kafka: "!!!!"
With just one look, Kafka noticed that something was off.
There seemed to be a change in Lu Yu's aura?
As a Valkyrie, Kafka had experienced many battles. Among the warriors of Schicksal, including herself, those with years of combat experience naturally exuded a hint of murderous intent.
This aura had nothing to do with strength; it was simply a natural result of years of fighting. And now, Lu Yu gave her a feeling similar to that of a warrior with a murderous intent.
No, Lu Yu's aura was different from the murderous intent!
Kafka observed Lu Yu carefully and found that he didn't seem like a warrior. Instead, he felt like a... master?!
Yes, that was it, a master.
Kafka was not an ordinary Valkyrie. Years of combat had sharpened her instincts to be extremely accurate. At this moment, standing in front of her, Lu Yu gave her the feeling of a master who had immersed himself in something for decades.
Kafka even had an illusion that she faintly saw a robust man in a robe standing behind Lu Yu. The man's gaze was resolute, his aura imposing, and he exuded an aura of dominance that sent shivers down one's spine!
What's going on?!
Kafka almost stood up to ask Lu Yu what happened overnight and why he changed so much.
However, her excellent composure allowed Kafka to calm down.
Lu Yu should be an immortal from Shenzhou; Kafka remembered checking related information. Immortals from Shenzhou valued freedom and wouldn't easily reveal their strength, as it didn't conform to their way of doing things.
But the way Lu Yu acted today was clearly a demonstration to her. He didn't act this way yesterday, which means... he encountered something at St. Freya Academy last night, and someone disturbed him?
No, she needed to find out what happened.
Although Lu Yu's current aura was something Kafka felt she could emulate, the fierceness of it still surprised her.
With this kind of pressure, how could he not defeat a few Herrscher Beasts?
Kafka made an instant judgment. Lu Yu must have hidden his true strength when he encountered Fu Hua last night!
As for the possibility of getting stronger overnight, Kafka didn't even consider it. Such a grandmaster's aura was accumulated over decades of combat; it couldn't appear overnight.
The Three-Star Eight Extremities Fist was not a skill-type ability. In the abilities provided by the system, the main difference between skill-type and martial arts-type abilities was that martial arts-type abilities were permanently active.
Skill-type abilities, on the other hand, were more like skills. Apart from a few passive skills like Breath Concealment, most of the other skills needed to be activated. For example, abilities like "Monster Strength" and "Night Raid's Shadow" were skill-type, and they had a limit on the number of uses per day.
Martial arts, on the other hand, were completely different. After obtaining a martial art, it would directly integrate into Lu Yu's body as an ability.
The Three-Star Eight Extremities Fist that Lu Yu obtained last night came from a certain expert on the Moon. The previous Two-Star Fragment couldn't demonstrate its effect, but now it was different.
The Three-Star Eight Extremities Fist was equivalent to part of the strength of the expert in his prime. That's what led to everything Kafka sensed.
Of course, the real grandmasters could conceal this kind of aura, but Lu Yu... had a long way to go.
So Lu Yu was completely unaware that he was in a state of unconcealed dominance, exuding the aura of the expert in his prime.
Of course, this was due to Lu Yu's Three-Star Eight Extremities Fist. If the Eight Extremities Fist reached Four Stars, then the aura exhibited by Lu Yu wouldn't be from the expert in his prime but from the final version of Li Shuwen at the Killing Phase, which would be the true realm of a Grandmaster!
"Lu Yu?"
Kafka softly called Lu Yu's name.
"Huh? Director Kafka, what's wrong?"
"Lu Yu, did something happen last night?"
Kafka pondered for a while and decided to inquire about what happened.
"Last night? Something did happen."
Upon hearing Lu Yu say that something indeed happened, Kafka became nervous.
What could have happened to make an immortal, who usually had a calm temperament, be so aggressive towards her early in the morning? Could it be that...?
Kafka's voice was very gentle. "Lu Yu, can you tell me what happened last night?"
Sitting at his desk, Lu Yu looked at his director and couldn't help but wonder why Kafka suddenly cared about him?
Yesterday, when he borrowed money from her, she looked down on him. Why did she suddenly change her attitude today?
Seeing Kafka like this, Lu Yu almost thought that he had been teaching Kafka last night, not Raiden Mei.
"Last night, I had a dream."
"What kind of dream?"
"It was nothing special, just an ordinary dream where I was like a movie protagonist watched by the audience. Then I saved a girl (Raiden Mei) casually in the dream, and as a reward, I received a gift from the Honkai (the Three-Star Eight Extremities Fist)."
What?!
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Kafka was shocked.
Saved a girl in the dream and received a gift from the Honkai?
As an immortal, Lu Yu couldn't be aimless. His words must have some deep meaning.
Movie protagonist... audience.
Hiss!
Could it be that Lu Yu discovered the dozens of cameras set up in his room by Archbishop Otto?! Was he trying to warn her not to go too far?
Saved a girl in the dream; most of the girls at St. Freya Academy, was he implying that if they continued to treat him that way, he would destroy the academy? How dare he???
As for the last part, the gift from the Honkai, that must be something Lu Yu was showcasing to warn her!
...
This is the immortal from Shenzhou?
Kafka clearly remembered that each of the twenty-nine cameras in Lu Yu's room was the pinnacle of Schicksal's technology, undetectable by conventional means.
To find the positions of these cameras, the highest-level technicians of Schicksal had to be deployed using specialized detection equipment and carefully search inch by inch to have a chance to find them.
How did Lu Yu discover them?!
No, the problem now was not how he discovered them. It seemed that Lu Yu was very angry now. How could she appease him?
In fact, when Kafka set up the cameras, she had some objections to Otto's ideas. Twenty-nine cameras were indeed excessive, and placing cameras in private rooms was already impolite, let alone so many.
Unfortunately, Archbishop Otto did not accept her suggestions and went ahead with it.
Kafka understood now what happened last night.
Lu Yu must have returned to the dormitory last night and somehow found out that he was being monitored. Who was Lu Yu?
An immortal from Shenzhou, an expert who had lived for countless years. He might not care about trivial matters, but being watched was certainly something he couldn't tolerate. So today, he came early to demonstrate his warning to her, telling her not to do such things again!
Kafka understood everything!
