175. First Encounter with Theresa
After several hours of flying, the group finally landed at St. Freya Academy.
Yun Ling curiously peeked out and looked around St. Freya Academy. It was somewhat similar to the one he had seen in the game, but it was obviously much larger.
There is no helipad this large in the game.
"Is this St. Freya Academy...?"
Mei must have been seeing this place for the first time, and a hint of surprise rose in her heart.
Yuna followed cautiously behind Yun Ling.
"Let me take you to see Principal Theresa first. She should be in her office right now."
Himeko led the five people toward Theresa's office.
Bronya has been freed from her restraints, but her weapons have also been confiscated.
Even her socks were taken away.
Yun Ling's reason was that he had heard there was a top assassin in the Urals who could even assassinate enemies using stockings!
Although it's a bit far-fetched, it's still reasonable.
So, under Bronya's humiliated and indignant gaze, Yun Ling personally helped her take off her socks...
However, Himeko actually kept the confiscated "weapons" along with the weapons!
Seeing Yun Ling's feigned indifference but actually deeply disappointed expression, the group's perception of his perverted nature was once again refreshed.
Yun Ling's image was completely shattered in Bronya's eyes; he was so different from the Yun Ling before her rebirth!
Even if it's a parallel universe, this difference is ridiculous!
Inside the office, Theresa was leisurely enjoying afternoon tea, engrossed in reading a copy of "Homu's Great Adventure".
The next second, Himeko pushed the door open and entered.
At that moment, when everyone's eyes were about to fall on Theresa, who was slacking off. It seemed that her authority as the headmistress was about to disappear completely. Just at this critical moment...
Theresa's hands tore the comic book in her hands into pieces with a speed invisible to the naked eye.
This scene seemed to have been rehearsed a thousand times in her mind. Although the comic in her hand was precious, it was nothing compared to the headmistress's authority. She didn't feel any heartache at all!
As the door to the principal's office was fully opened, the scattered scraps of paper fluttered down like autumn leaves, giving them a sense of autumnal melancholy despite it being the height of summer.
At this moment, Theresa placed her fingers interlaced between her lips, her expression solemn. Combined with the light streaming in from the side window behind her, it gave off a strange and sacred feeling.
"You've arrived," Theresa said softly.
"Is this...the headmistress?" Yuna was a little nervous because of the aura emanating from Theresa.
"Himeko, remember to knock before you come in next time," Theresa said, glancing at Himeko with a hint of annoyance.
"Pfft... Yes, Headmistress." Himeko replied, barely suppressing a laugh.
Theresa was somewhat angry, but she couldn't let it out at the moment.
Just then, a piece of paper flew in front of Yun Ling. He caught it casually; it was a colorful fragment.
"Ho..." Yun Ling had only uttered one word when Theresa stood up on the chair as if she had been startled.
"How could it be, Homu! I'm the headmistress of St. Freya Academy. How could I possibly watch such childish stuff! Ha...haha..."
Theresa loudly defended herself.
Then everyone was stunned. It turns out that this kind of blatant attempt to cover up something actually happens in real life.
The gazes of the group gradually turned strange, and Theresa's face turned red to the roots of her neck.
"Ahem, you must be Yun Ling. I've granted your request." Theresa looked at Yun Ling and said to him.
Although the attempt to change the subject was somewhat clumsy, it was still a successful one.
"Really? Then thank you for your trust, Headmistress." Yun Ling nodded; that was perfect.
"Kiana, Bronya, you two stay here for now. Himeko, you take the others to familiarize themselves with St. Freya Academy."
"No need, let's wait for Kiana and Bronya to finish and come together." Mei shook her head decisively.
Although everyone else seemed to have no aversion to the place, Mei still maintained a certain degree of vigilance.
Theresa didn't refuse, but simply asked the three of them to wait outside.
"How's your first impression? Are you looking forward to the upcoming campus life?" Himeko asked the three of them.
"Excellent! I see them! Lots of lovely girls on the road. We've definitely come to the right place!" Yun Ling said seriously.
Himeko and Mei's fists landed on Yun Ling at the same time.
Asking Yun Ling was really unnecessary.
"Sorry, I might not completely trust you yet," Mei said frankly, revealing her true feelings.
"It's alright, having a sense of crisis is a good thing. However, St. Freya Academy is quite different from ordinary schools. Whether it's the difficulty of the theoretical subjects or the combat training that ordinary schools don't have, you'll need an adaptation period. You should also be mentally prepared."
"Of course, we don't force every student to become a Valkyrie. It's all up to your own choice—to choose a peaceful life, or to choose... to fight for all the good things in the world!"
"That was our motto just now, wasn't it cool?" Himeko smiled.
"Fight for all the good things in the world..." Mei lowered her head, lost in thought.
Then, she subconsciously looked at Yun Ling lying dead beside her.
"What was Yun Ling's request to Headmistress just now?" Mei suddenly asked.
"About that? Let him explain it to you himself." Himeko kicked Yun Ling, who was lying on the ground.
"Safety shorts are truly the worst invention in human history." Yun Ling muttered, then got up from the ground unhappily.
"..." Himeko & Mei.
"Actually, it's just a very simple request. Of course, the beautiful and kind-hearted Sister Himeko and the lovely and kind Headmistress will agree," Yun Ling shrugged.
"Get to the point," Mei flicked his forehead.
"It's just that I don't want them to restrict you and Yuna, so you two can integrate into St. Freya Academy as normal people," Yun Ling explained.
"Yun Ling…" Yuna's face was full of emotion.
Does this mean that she truly holds a place in Yun Ling's heart?
Mei didn't speak, but gently hugged Yun Ling.
"Hey, hey, hey, mind your image. Although the school doesn't forbid dating, you two are making this almost thirty-year-old female teacher very sad."
Himeko raised an eyebrow. What was this display of affection in front of her? Were they showing off?
"It's okay. If Sister Himeko needs love, I can give you a warm hug too," Yun Ling extended his other hand.
Yun Ling, who had just gotten up, was thrown back down by Mei's over-the-shoulder throw.
