"Current Location: St. Freya Academy (Reverse World Version)."
Lucas opened his eyes and saw a line of text that was all too familiar. His expression was serene, and his breathing was calm.
The first time he saw the words "Inner World."
Lucas was very excited, thinking he could do whatever he wanted until he died of exhaustion.
However, he quickly realized that this Inner World was not quite what he had imagined.
Although there were many alluring scenarios here, what was difficult to accept was...
Lunatics.
All the Valkyries at St. Freya Academy were lunatics.
From the first time until now, Lucas had died ninety-nine times.
The first time, he was stabbed to death by Kiana.
The second time, he was neatly beheaded by Raiden Mei.
The third time, he was assassinated by Bronya and Seele working together; they each carried half of his body, chatting and laughing on their way home.
The fourth time, he had a mental breakdown and tried to escape St. Freya Academy, then was caught by Himeko Murata, had his legs broken, was imprisoned and abused for half a month, and finally died due to severe injuries.
The fifth time...
Lucas made many attempts, but ultimately could not avoid the outcome of death.
This St. Freya Academy (Reverse World Version) was like a yandere den.
All the Valkyries were yanderes; with the slightest mistake, he would be killed by them.
As an ordinary person, trying to save his life in front of Valkyries was truly too difficult; they killed Lucas... as if they were killing a chick, effortlessly.
As for killing a Valkyrie?
Impossible.
Lucas couldn't do it. After ninety-nine deaths, he understood one fact—only a Valkyrie could fight a Valkyrie.
He skillfully closed the light screen in front of him.
Then he subconsciously looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.
Two o'clock, but it was two in the morning.
The world outside the window was pitch black.
During the day, St. Freya Academy was safe, but from midnight to six in the morning, it was a chaotic and extremely dangerous place.
"If I'm not mistaken, Kiana should be knocking on the door soon."
Lucas turned his head and looked at the dormitory door. The knocking sound, thump, thump, thump, arrived as expected, sounding very abrupt in the terrifyingly quiet surroundings.
Open the door?
Open it, my foot!
Lucas's experience told him that opening the door meant certain death.
The first time he transmigrated, he was unprepared.
Lucas opened the door, and Kiana rushed in, crashing into his arms, stabbing his stomach with a small knife while shouting, "I'm sorry, I love you! I'm sorry, I love you..."
That's right.
Lucas's first blood in this world was shed by Kiana.
Listening to the thump, thump, thump of the knocking, the man in white pajamas walked barefoot to the door and quietly locked it.
It's hilarious.
If he didn't lock the door, Kiana might use a key she somehow acquired to open the door and enter the room.
Lucas once had the experience of being half asleep and suddenly hearing "I'm sorry, I love you" in his ear.
It still sends shivers down his spine thinking about it now.
"Kiana is squatting outside the door, and as expected... she will stay there until around five in the morning before leaving. If I want to go out and explore, I can only climb out the window."
Lucas walked to the window, looking at the night outside.
Although St. Freya Academy was dangerous at night.
But...
Night was also the only hope to break the cycle of reincarnation.
If he did nothing at night, he wouldn't live long at all.
After all...
In a month, St. Freya Academy's daytime would become like its nighttime, a chaotic mess, even more terrifying.
Lucas had to prepare before the deadline arrived.
He searched the bedroom, found some useful tools, and equipped them.
Then, taking out a small mirror, Lucas walked to the window, slowly pushed it open, and extended the small mirror outside.
Using the moonlight, he began to survey his surroundings.
This was the Valkyrie Dormitory.
Lucas's room was on the third floor, about ten meters from the ground. After confirming that there were no strange things crawling on the outside wall, he confidently pushed open the window, stepped onto the windowsill barefoot, and then grabbed the external drainpipe.
He hung his entire body on it, slowly climbing down little by little.
This drainpipe.
Lucas had climbed it countless times during his ninety-nine reincarnations; he was very familiar with it and agile in his movements.
In a short while, he had climbed from the third floor to the first.
Only then did he take out a pair of soft shoes from his person.
As for why he didn't wear shoes just now...
Of course, it was because bare feet provided greater friction, preventing falls.
Lucas once had the experience of falling and breaking his leg while climbing a pipe at night.
The outcome, well...
Naturally, he was killed by a passing Valkyrie.
Encountering a Valkyrie outside at night was a very dangerous thing.
Especially those patrolling St. Freya Academy at night.
Once caught, he would be directly executed for violating academy rules.
Valkyries at St. Freya Academy must sleep after midnight and are not allowed to go out.
At this point, some people might be confused.
Didn't it say Valkyries weren't allowed to go out?
Why could Kiana appear outside Lucas's dormitory door?
Is there a possibility?
The Kiana outside the door was not the Kiana of St. Freya Academy.
Through Lucas's repeated explorations, he discovered a shocking fact.
The daytime Valkyries and nighttime Valkyries were not the same person; although they shared one body, they were like two souls in one, with a one-sided memory connection.
The nighttime Valkyries knew what happened during the day, but the daytime Valkyries did not know what happened at night.
This meant Lucas also had to be careful of his words and actions during the day.
If he became too close to a certain Valkyrie and was seen by others, something terrifying would happen.
The Valkyrie who witnessed this might directly awaken her night form.
She might even disguise herself as a normal person and approach Lucas.
In such a situation, he had only one path: death.
......
The dark night had no lights.
Lucas moved in the dark; he dared not take out a flashlight or similar items. Daring to take such a thing out would be courting death.
Light was the best beacon.
As long as he dared to use a lighting tool.
He would quickly be surrounded by a group of patrolling Valkyries, followed by an indescribable harmonious scene.
The faint moonlight was his only aid.
His visible range was only three meters; he couldn't see anything further away, as if it were covered in a layer of mist... Fortunately, Lucas had walked this path many times, he was already familiar with the route, and could even walk it with his eyes closed.
Whether there was light or not was irrelevant.
Next.
Time passed quietly as he moved in the dark...
Every time he heard footsteps, Lucas would immediately hide. Since there was no light, avoiding the patrolling Valkyries was actually very simple.
If he couldn't see the patrolling Valkyries, they also couldn't see him.
It was mutual.
Lucas wore soft indoor sports shoes, so his walking was completely silent, while the patrolling Valkyries, some wearing high heels, some wearing sneakers, all made sounds when they walked, which could be heard from far away.
Soon...
Lucas arrived at St. Freya Academy's Maze Garden.
Here, there was someone he absolutely had to meet: Raiden Mei!
