"Why are you shouting, you brat?"
Ragna leaned against the wall and sighed as she saw the crowd in front of Rita's door growing larger.
Then she looked at Li Sushang, who was squatting with her head down in the hallway, with an expression of disappointment.
Yes, the one who shouted just a moment ago was not Rita or Tian Shi, but this girl.
After all, although none of the people present had much relevant experience, they were all older than Li Sushang.
As is logical, Ragna is a single woman in her early thirties.
Although she lacks experience, she has watched many adult movies with her single female companions.
Kiana... Kiana really doesn't need to say anything.
Even though she now behaves like a well-bred vegetarian girl, she used to bother Mei quite a bit back at St. Freya.
Bianka, the most composed person of all, remained calm and controlled; and, as she herself claimed, she possessed the compatibility and knowledge that a normal person should have.
Thus, at first, apart from Kiana, who looked completely amazed, Ragna and Bianka remained completely calm.
Unfortunately, Li Sushang could not contain herself and let out a loud shout.
It's fantastic!
Not only have those living in the student dormitories come, but also the doctoral students living in the laboratories.
"Who... who knew that Rita was doing those kinds of dirty things with the Grand Master?"
Li Sushang replied weakly.
Observing the group of people in front of the door, Li Sushang knew that this matter was probably not going to end well.
"Well, in the worst-case scenario, I'll just spend two more stacks of bills on her next year..."
"She's not dead yet; you don't have to think so far ahead."
Ragna sighed, rubbing her forehead.
"This means they aren't dead yet..." Li Sushang looked up weakly and glanced toward the door.
"I suppose after all this, my aunts and stepmothers will have to come out of hibernation."
"Three more have arrived..."
"But it doesn't have to be so bad; after all, my aunt and second aunt have very good tempers..."
"And what about your stepmother?" Ragna asked curiously.
"Perhaps Miss Rita can at least keep her body intact?"
Li Sushang reflected for a moment and then showed a very ominous expression.
"Even if it's not pleasant to say it this way, everyone present, from the Grand Master to the last student, could be defeated by my stepmother, and although my stepmother may seem like someone 'without money, without contacts, and without emotions,' she actually has a very bad temper."
"Your Grand Master?"
Ragna looked at Senti and fell silent.
Although Senti is Senti and Hua is Hua, even Hua's level is incredibly powerful for Rita, right?
But, thinking about it, why does Senti, who is usually loud and boisterous, now seem so pensive?
…
"Hey, who the hell are you?"
Senti looked at the woman who had broken into her mental world with a bewildered expression.
"How is it that you look so much like me?"
"I am you." Hua looked at Senti with a cold face.
"Ha?"
Senti seemed confused.
Normally, Hua wouldn't mind explaining things to Senti, but in this situation... Hua was in no mood for it.
"Don't worry about unimportant details. Are there not more important things to do right now?"
Hua presented directly to Senti the scene she had just recorded in Kiana's mind.
Seeing the indecent scene in the video, Senti's expression transformed immediately.
"Aaaaaaahh..."
"Damn you Rita, damn you Rita, damn you Rita!"
Senti had no idea what was going on; she was simply woken up and came to join the fun, without even having to enter the room.
However, the images Hua is presenting now are causing enormous real damage to Senti.
Hua felt extremely disgusted seeing that scene again.
If someone else were in that bed, such as Su Mei, Qin Suyi, Cheng Ling Shuang, or even Li Sushang, Hua wouldn't say a word.
After all, she felt guilty toward her apprentices back then, and she could honestly say she tolerated what they did.
At the very least, it should be Mobius or Dra. MEI, right? They are her rivals, and she accepts that she didn't win.
But who do you think you are, Rita?
Even an honest person like Hua grew more and more enraged just thinking about it.
"Indeed, we don't have to worry about useless details..."
Senti had an expression that suggested she was about to explode.
"Now all that's left for us is to kill Rita, right?"
"Kill her and then have the professor kick us out?" Hua's cold question left Senti speechless.
"Then let's make it an accident." Senti flashed a macabre smile.
"..."
Why is this suggestion, even minimally, somewhat tempting?
However, Hua suppressed the impulse she felt in her heart.
"If you can't handle this, leave your body to me; I'll deal with her."
"You?" Senti thought for a moment, and then stopped thinking.
"Well, although I don't know where you're from, I'll believe you this time if you say so!"
Senti had to admit that, after thinking about it over and over, the only solution she could come up with was to kill Rita.
But what the woman in front of her said, who looked so much like her, was true.
If she really killed Rita, having Professor Tian kick her out of the house would be the least of her problems.
But she couldn't accept Rita as her professor's wife...
The woman who suddenly appeared before her and who looked a lot like her gave Senti a strange feeling... she didn't know if it was affection or repulsion.
However, seeing the same anger in the other's face as in her own, Senti didn't mind trusting her this once; after all, Master Tian's matter was the most important thing at that moment!
The next instant, Senti yielded control of her body to the woman in front of her.
"Phew..."
Hua sighed in relief upon regaining her body; it felt so good to have a body again.
"Have I acquired many new skills?"
Hua is not the type of person who relies solely on instinct to recognize her powers, so as soon as she took control, she discovered that the new "Recognition" skill brought to her by the Herrscher seemed a bit excessive.
However, now is not the time to dwell on that.
Hua took a deep breath, looked toward the door... and saw Bronya bothering Seele.
Yes, it was almost bullying.
Somehow, Bronya got a stick and, exasperated, poked Seele with it.
"Seele, what did I tell you?"
"Ugh..." Seele crouched down, covering her head in a defensive gesture.
"Bronya said Rita is much more dangerous than me, and that you should go to her side. If you had listened to me and slept with Tian, would he have lunged at her?"
Bronya's tone gradually transformed into a severe reprimand.
"Seele, you are the greatest sinner of the orphanage! You will be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of your life!"
"Uf... I... I think Miss Rita is also quite good..."
Seele replied weakly.
Besides, she is the type of person who doesn't like to argue.
"Anyway... Seele thinks that whatever you say, Bronya, you don't have much hope."
As Seele spoke, she touched her chest.
"Maybe our brother prefers something bigger, so you probably don't have much of a chance, Bronya."
"..."
Bronya felt immediately overwhelmed.
"Give Bronya ten years, Rita is nothing... Bronya's figure in the dream is much better than Rita's."
"But that was a dream, right?" Seele complained.
"Seele thinks all dreams are incredible."
"There is also something called a precognitive dream!"
"Are you two here too?"
As Bronya was being stubborn, she realized that her mother, Cocolia, had also come, accompanied by Reanna and Dra. MEI.
What a strange combination!
"Mom? What are you doing here?"
"Lady Reanna dragged me here to join the fun."
Seeing the immense hostility Bronya harbored toward her own chest, Cocolia couldn't help but sigh and reflect deeply.
How is it possible that my daughter ended up like this? It is truly lamentable that at seventeen she still doesn't have much chest.
She was already the most beautiful girl in the military academy when she was seventeen...
"Bronya, why are you poking your sister with that stick?" Cocolia asked.
"Bronya is punishing a traitor of the orphanage," Bronya replied, returning to her usual nonchalant attitude.
"You two... never mind, I won't ask again."
Cocolia sighed, looking at Reanna helplessly.
"Miss Reanna, why did you bring me here?"
Cocolia had no intention of getting involved in her own leader's mess.
"Of course you had to come and leave your mark on such an important day."
Reanna chuckled and said.
"And, by the way, take a few hits for the leader."
As she spoke, Reanna looked at Bronya with a smile, and Bronya immediately lowered her head guiltily.
Reanna is, without a doubt, the mother of Anti-Entropy, and no one in that faction dares to disrespect her.
"What kind of knife can my small body block...?" Cocolia was left speechless.
She was the worst fighter in the room, you understand? Block a knife? At best, she'd survive a punch.
"Just watch your little daughter."
Reanna replied with a smile.
Cocolia was puzzled by these words, but she immediately understood.
"Ehm... Lady Reanna, you have come here to..."
"Of course I am here to help the alliance leader solve his problem. You don't think I'm here to socialize with these young girls, do you?"
Reanna sighed as she looked at the entrance, which was blocked by members of the Valkyrie Squad, but then she smiled again.
"Although I do not entirely approve of the Alliance Leader's reckless actions on this occasion, I am sincerely happy for him. He has a body and has fulfilled part of the most important task of his life... While it was reckless, it also makes me happy."
Having lived through nearly three hundred years of history, her experience and mentality are undoubtedly among the best.
The only person present who could compare to her in this sense was her old friend...
Reanna looked at Hua.
Despite having arrived only recently, Reanna seemed to understand everything and gave her a slight smile.
"..."
Hua responded with silence.
She could tell that Reanna had truly accepted things, but for her, Master Tian...
I'm sorry, but Master Tian has become her obsession.
Hua shook her head.
Reanna smiled again and then looked away.
"So they couldn't reach an agreement?" Cocolia understood immediately what was happening upon seeing the expressions on their faces.
"They are simply angry."
Reanna didn't take it seriously.
"Who would throw out the pot just because they ate earlier?"
Reanna understood that many people were simply angry and that their rationality had vanished.
Once they calmed down, Rita would only suffer a little.
Is there any idiot among those present?
No.
Although some people may have more muscle than brain matter, all of them have normal intelligence.
Seeing that Hua now had control of the body, Reanna understood immediately that everyone who knew the value of the situation knew this matter couldn't be ruined.
If even someone like Senti knows this, wouldn't the others present know it as well?
Anyone of those people in the hallway could easily order the girls blocking the door to disperse.
But is anyone giving that order now?
No, everyone is waiting for someone else.
Rita had no choice but to face the consequences, given the truly atrocious nature of her actions today.
But killing him is not an option either; cutting off all ties with Tian Shi is something only a fool would do.
Didn't you see that everyone present was only talking about bothering Rita, but apart from Reanna, no one mentioned Tian Shi's health?
The latter is the main event, okay?
"Let me see how many people have arrived..."
Reanna roughly calculated the number of people present.
"Hmm... it seems Nancy and the others are here too, Otto and the others, plus Dra. MEI..."
Although there are still a few people scattered outside, the main force is already here.
Shortly after, Nancy, Tesla, and Schrödinger approached with disgusted faces, while Einstein followed them, apparently absorbed in her thoughts, eating chocolate.
"Doctor Einstein was always an unconventional person."
Reanna smiled.
Otto and the others arrived shortly after, followed by Kallen and three women dressed in ancient Chinese costumes.
"Where is that vixen who seduced our Grand Master?"
Cheng Ling Shuang unsheathed her sword with a somber expression.
She really wanted to kill someone.
"It's okay, Ling Shuang, aren't you ashamed?"
Su Mei sighed softly as she pushed Cheng Ling Shuang's sword aside.
"Why unsheathe your sword in front of everyone, with the Master and Grand Master present? Does that make us, Miss Cheng, the only ones in our sect, the only ones upset by this?"
"..."
Cheng Ling Shuang's face darkened even more after her second older sister's reprimand.
Qin Su Yi, standing by her side, laughed to herself.
She knew that her fifth older sister had used similar words to scold her sixth older brother.
Undoubtedly, today she found it curious to receive the reprimand from her second older sister.
But Cheng Ling Shuang put away her sword obediently.
Since Tian Shi remained silent, Su Mei, her second older sister, became her pillar of support.
"Besides, even if we take a step back, it is not our business what our Grand Master does. First, let us pay tribute to our Master, and then, later, we will pay tribute to our Grand Master."
Su Mei waved her sleeve and sighed.
How could they, as the younger generation, act as teachers to their Grand Master?
She knew that her two younger sisters... and even she herself had ulterior motives, but that would only be valid if the Grand Master recognized it.
She couldn't force it, or things would go wrong.
Our master has been extremely kind to us, so how could we dare to ask for more?
If I get it, it will be a matter of luck; if I lose it, it will be a matter of fate.
While thinking, Su Mei guided Qin Suyi and Cheng Ling Shuang to briefly greet Hua, then stepped aside clearly and picked up the useless girl Li Sushang.
Shortly after, the last group of people arrived.
Dra. MEI approached with a frigid expression and asked those present without any courtesy:
"I heard they make profiteroles here. Are there profiteroles?"
...
Profiteroles: refers to a stuffed food, alluding to what Tian did to Rita.
