As soon as Inaba Tsukiyo finished speaking, a figure appeared at the school gate. The person was a Boy, looking to be in his twenties or thirties.
The moment the person appeared, Tesla's eyes widened. She hadn't expected him to appear here.
But she quickly understood why he was here and abruptly looked at Einstein beside her.
"Chicken Coop Head! Did you..."
"There's no other way, Dr. Tesla. This is for insurance; none of us can guarantee that this meeting won't have any accidents."
The man hiding in the shadows was Welt Joyce.
Not the previous clones Wart or Wart, but the real Welt.
When Tesla decided to meet Inaba Tsukiyo, Einstein secretly contacted Welt, asking him to follow them discreetly to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
Although she knew Einstein did this for her safety, Tesla was more worried that such an action would disappoint Inaba Tsukiyo.
She turned around and found that Inaba Tsukiyo showed no emotion, as if she had expected Welt to appear here all along.
"This aura... it's unmistakable, it's Teacher Welt. I didn't expect you to be an undercover agent from another organization placed in the academy. I didn't detect your undercover identity at all."
"As long as I embody the role of a teacher, then unknowingly, even I myself forget about my infiltration of the academy, Classmate Inaba. But being a teacher is not an easy task."
Only after truly becoming a teacher did Welt understand the hardships of being one.
Although he gained considerable popularity with his excellent looks and his rare status as a male in the academy, when facing certain problem students, even he, the First Herrscher, felt a headache.
For example, Kiana, Kiana, and Kiana—these problem students, he didn't know how to teach them.
'Hmph! Just a guy who betrayed me. And a replica of that idiot.'
'Hmm? What's wrong? Do you know this guy's true identity?'
Herrscher Tsukiyo's tone revealed her disdain for Welt, which piqued Inaba Tsukiyo's interest.
In her experience, it was the first time she saw Herrscher Tsukiyo hold such a strong opinion about someone. Did this guy do something to displease her?
Honkai is a form, and the energy it produces is called Honkai Energy.
To some extent, Honkai is omnipresent, so Herrscher Tsukiyo was very clear about what the true Welt Joyce experienced back then.
Of course, she knew who Welt Joyce gave his power to when he was about to die.
'Hmph! Just a disobedient subordinate who died protecting humans and then gave his power to another human. This guy isn't Welt at all; his name is...'
"Joachim..."
Welt's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard Inaba Tsukiyo address him by that name.
Not just him, but even Einstein and Tesla looked at Inaba Tsukiyo incredulously.
This name, besides Einstein and a few others, no one else knew about it.
At this moment, Welt even suspected that Inaba Tsukiyo might be a body controlled by Otto, just like the former Raianna.
"Tesla, Einstein! Step back! This person is extremely dangerous!"
Welt immediately took out the star of eden he carried, and although it was a replica, it still possessed the power to control gravity.
Einstein forcefully pulled Tesla away, while Welt stood not far from Inaba Tsukiyo, his gaze serious as he stared at the seemingly delicate Inaba Tsukiyo.
Welt continuously injected Honkai Energy into the star of eden in his hand. Although it was only a replica of the star of eden, when Honkai Energy was injected, it could still unleash immense power.
Crimson patterns wrapped around the star of eden, which quickly finished charging. Honkai Energy within the star of eden gradually transformed into high-concentration energy.
This energy quickly condensed inside the star of eden into a black spot capable of devouring all things. This black spot… was a black hole.
Feeling the immense energy emanating from the star of eden in Welt's hand, Inaba Tsukiyo slowly opened her eyes. This guy was really planning to get rid of her.
The star of eden suddenly shot out a black ray, heading towards Inaba Tsukiyo.
However, just as the ray was about to touch Inaba Tsukiyo, a door suddenly opened in front of her, absorbing the energy.
"Space Transfer," which transfers an enemy's attack, is one of Sirin's abilities.
"This is… the Second Herrscher's ability? How is that possible… Pfft!"
When he fought the Second Herrscher back then, she used such a method to defend against his attacks. How could this be… Welt, feeling severely unwell, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Using a Herrscher's power with a human body requires a huge price.
Since suffering severe injuries in his battle with the Second Herrscher fourteen years ago, he had rarely used this power that did not belong to him.
He originally thought he could protect Einstein and Tesla by coming along, but he didn't expect to become a burden to them now.
If… if Inaba Tsukiyo truly possessed the Second Herrscher's power, then ordinary attack methods would have no effect on her at all.
"I said… I only said a name, why are you attacking me? I haven't done anything out of line, have I?"
Just as Welt was about to attack again, Inaba Tsukiyo instantly appeared in front of him and destroyed the fake star of eden in his hand with a single slash.
This guy… his body was already in such a state, yet he was still preparing to attack. Was he really not afraid of death?
"You're clearly not that person, yet you're doing the same things as that person? Hehe~ This kindness, you truly are his successor."
Having understood what kind of person Welt Joyce was from Herrscher Tsukiyo, Inaba Tsukiyo felt no aversion to Welt's impolite behavior.
Although such a fool would cause trouble for those around him, it was precisely for this reason that many people would gather around them.
"Your body can't take it anymore. If you don't get proper treatment, you'll die in a few hours."
"Since you're Tratt's friend, I'll help you. Although it's a bit embarrassing, now is not the time to care about such things."
'Tratt? Who's that?'
Welt, who was still struggling on the ground, froze when he heard the name Tratt.
In his list of acquaintances, he didn't know anyone named Tratt, though Tesla was one.
Inaba Tsukiyo drew mikazuki munechika. Just as Welt thought she was going to kill him, Inaba Tsukiyo waved the blade in her hand, and the blade was suddenly enveloped in a white light.
Immediately after, mikazuki munechika transformed into Hecate's Staff, though to those who didn't know, it simply looked like a Magical Girl's magic wand.
Einstein and Tesla, these two physics-oriented girls, were completely stunned by this unscientific sight.
What was going on? This was unscientific. Why did a blade turn into a magic wand? Was this the power of Honkai?
Under the bewildered gazes of the three, Inaba Tsukiyo waved the magic wand in her hand, just like a Magical Girl, and shouted.
"Hope… for the existence of a world where no one hurts others, and no one is hurt by others."
"Myriad Flaw Restoration (Pain Breaker)"
A soft light enveloped Welt's gradually collapsing body, and the Honkai Energy that was originally out of control gradually stabilized.
At the same time, Welt could feel the internal hidden injuries recovering at an extremely fast rate, and there were even signs of recovering beyond his peak condition.
This was a bit frightening. It felt as if he had been reborn. Welt, who was originally lying on the ground, immediately stood up and jumped a few times disbelievingly, finding that he had no problems at all.
Was this the so-called… going up five floors in one breath, effortlessly?
(Slap!)
Alright, alright, no more jokes, no more jokes.
After confirming that he was completely fine, Welt looked at Inaba Tsukiyo, who was holding Hecate's Staff with both hands.
"Wait a moment, let me guess the question Teacher Welt wants to ask me. Is it that you want to ask why I didn't kill you?"
"Uh… yes."
"Hmm, then I also have a question I want to ask you. Why must I kill you, Teacher Welt? When you were at St. Freya Academy, you shouldn't have made things difficult for me, right?"
"And from the beginning, it was Teacher Welt who thought I was your enemy. I don't think I ever attacked you, did I?"
It seems… that's right.
Recalling what just happened, because Inaba Tsukiyo said his true name, Welt thought Inaba Tsukiyo was an enemy and then began to continuously attack.
In the end, not only did he fail to cause effective damage, but he also nearly killed himself, and it was Inaba Tsukiyo who saved him.
"I'm sorry, Classmate Inaba. I misunderstood you."
"If the teacher were a beautiful girl, I might accept your apology. But since you're not a beautiful girl, I won't accept a simple apology."
"Uh… Then what do you need for me to forgive you?"
Welt scratched his head, a bit confused. This time it was indeed his fault, so it was only natural for Inaba Tsukiyo to want compensation.
But… why would he forgive a beautiful girl's apology directly? Didn't he see invisible things? How did he observe the other person's gender?
"Forgive you, huh… How about you put on women's clothes, and then let Tratt take a few photos of you in women's clothes, and then I'll forgive you? How about that?"
"I'm sorry, I choose death. Even if this matter is my fault, I will never betray myself."
What kind of joke was this? When did apologizing require putting on women's clothes and being photographed? Wasn't this just adding to his embarrassing past?
"What's wrong with that? Chicken Coop Head and I fully agree with Tsukiyo's opinion. When we came over, we found a supermarket nearby. There must be clothing stores inside the supermarket, let's go there and find you some clothes."
Tesla, who had been pulled away by Einstein, had returned here with Einstein at some point. Hearing that Inaba Tsukiyo wanted Welt to take photos in women's clothes, she said excitedly.
Even Einstein nodded, her eyes glowing intensely, as if she had already seen Welt in women's clothes.
The situation was very bad. On one side was Inaba Tsukiyo, and on the other were Tesla and Einstein.
The three slowly approached Welt with smiles. Although all three were beautiful girls, their smiles seemed like a devil's smile in Welt's eyes.
At this moment, the First Herrscher, Welt, felt an unprecedented despair.
