Two weeks passed quickly. After two weeks of campus life, Lu Ze gradually got used to it, but he didn't particularly like a plain life, so he essentially started slacking off.
Since he couldn't understand anything anyway, he might as well just sleep on his desk.
The most complex subject taught in class, besides Chinese, Math, and English, was History, as it could recount the previous civilization, making it very intricate.
"When will this mundane life ever end?"
His current strength had almost reached the physique of an A-rank Valkyrie, but he hadn't developed the corresponding attributes. He wished he had a space attribute, then perhaps he could be as cool as Sirin.
"Lu Ze, what's wrong with Mei recently? She hasn't been here since Monday, and even when she did come, she seemed a bit down. Even the teachers aren't as enthusiastic about her anymore."
"I don't know, maybe she's having some difficulties at home? How about... you try to find out?"
Kiana nodded with a slightly dazed expression and was about to inquire about what had happened. In reality, it was all very simple.
Half an hour later, Kiana returned. After all, it wasn't a minor issue and had already been revealed.
"I know! Mei's father... was arrested and sent to jail. The Raiden Group has fallen from its leading position, and it's declining day by day."
Lu Ze's face showed no surprise, but rather a sense of "as expected." According to the original timeline, this was indeed how it happened.
"Now you know why Mei isn't coming, right?"
Kiana pondered for two seconds and immediately said, "Why don't we go see her? I don't have a habit of abandoning my friends. No matter how big the difficulty, I believe she can overcome it."
"It's no use. She probably wouldn't be able to hear a single word right now..."
In a villa, Raiden Mei was curled up by the bedside, her face full of disbelief.
"Father... how could he possibly commit a crime? I don't believe it, I don't believe it... How can you make me believe it?!"
Not long ago, Raiden Ryoma, Mei's father, was implicated in forging financial documents. Not only was he removed from his chairman position, but he also faced imprisonment, and all his assets were frozen.
The only thing left was likely this villa.
"Angry? Outraged? Look at them, not a single person extended a hand to your father; they even attacked him. This is humanity! Accept my power and rescue your father!"
Unlike her usual self, Raiden Mei remained silent. Her entire demeanor darkened. She lay on the bed, her thoughts racing, as if she had come to a realization...
"I agree to accept your power, but... a little later, okay?"
The voice chuckled, with an unrestrained laugh. She could already envision the scene of the apocalypse, with countless Honkai descending, tens of thousands of Honkai Beasts occupying cities... That scene was too beautiful...
"What if it's later? However, I can't wait too long. I hope you keep your promise."
"Mhm..."
Meanwhile, in a prison cell, a tall woman walked in. The sound of her high heels echoed on the floor, step by step... like the voice of a demon, yet possessing a human form.
"Long time no see, Mr. Raiden Ryoma. If you had agreed to me earlier, perhaps I wouldn't have done this."
Raiden Ryoma, confined in the cell, was unusually calm. He didn't want to say anything, but leaned against the wall, slightly opening one eye, as if disdainfully looking at the woman before him.
"What's with that look? Heh, I've made Schicksal flourish under my leadership! If you don't comply with me, I'll kill you all! Do you want to be next?"
"Cocolia, I don't understand the thoughts of you lunatics. You can touch me, but if you dare to touch my daughter, I'll fight you with my old life! Don't think a few broken robots can stop me!"
Cocolia laughed arrogantly and beckoned to the side. A familiar figure emerged. Those who recognized him would surely identify him as the leader of Schicksal, Welt.
"Look who it is. With him here, are you sure you can kill me? Although this is the first model and not yet perfected in all aspects, it can still deal with a small fry like you."
Raiden Ryoma's pupils gradually widened. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. When did Mr. Welt join her side? Wait... the first model?
"What did you do to the real Mr. Welt?!"
"I don't have that much capability to harm him. It's just that he's currently missing, and I don't know where he went. Raiden Ryoma... work for me obediently. Don't worry, I won't treat you poorly! If you agree, I can release you right now."
Raiden Ryoma was silent for two seconds, then could only nod. He didn't want to stay imprisoned any longer. He wanted to see his daughter and still had many things to do. He could only temporarily submit to this woman.
"Hahaha, excellent! Release him. I, Cocolia... will eventually unite... all of Schicksal!"
It was evident that Cocolia's ambition was immense, even boundless.
Time quickly flew to the evening. Lu Ze lay on his bed, feeling somewhat exhausted. He didn't know what to do. He was tired but simply couldn't fall asleep.
"Lu Ze...!"
Hearing Kiana calling him, Lu Ze weakly replied:
"What is it? Why are you calling me so late at night?"
"Can you come out and watch a horror movie with me? I'm... scared to watch it alone..."
It turned out Kiana was bored in the evening and had put on a horror movie on TV. Perhaps because she was alone, she almost died of fright during a terrifying scene, even reaching for her gun to shoot the television. However, at the crucial moment, she remembered it was a TV and would be reprimanded if she broke it.
But her curiosity urged her to continue watching, yet she was afraid of the frightening scenes. In her conflicting emotions, she could only call someone to accompany her.
"No way, Kiana! Watching horror movies late at night, you'll scare yourself to death. Alright, alright, I'm coming out."
Because it was a bit chilly in the evening, Lu Ze came out wrapped in a quilt. He sat quietly on the other side of the sofa. Seeing him arrive, Kiana pressed the remote and resumed playback.
Ten minutes later...
"Ah!"
Kiana was so scared that she hugged the person next to her tightly, even squeezing them with all her might, almost suffocating them.
"Let go... I'm suffocating."
