The elevator door opened, and a familiar figure walked out, causing Seele to widen her eyes and exclaim in disbelief.
"Tsukiyo-jiejie!"
Indeed, the newcomer had an identical appearance to Inaba Tsukiyo, the only difference being that this Inaba Tsukiyo's eyes were golden.
"So you are Seele. I didn't expect you to be able to come to this place. It's truly interesting. Because your souls are in the same body, can you connect to this consciousness space?"
"But… you are actually in this state, a Pseudo-Herrscher. It seems you haven't torn open your human heart and truly become a Herrscher. What a pity."
She shook her head. To become a Herrscher chosen by the will of honkai, one needed to tear open their human heart. Only then could they become a Herrscher that destroys the world.
But Seele still had people she wanted to protect; she still loved this world. This was contrary to the Herrscher's intentions. Even if she became a Herrscher, she would only be regarded as a traitor by the will of honkai.
"Herrscher… no! You're not Tsukiyo-jiejie! Who exactly are you? Why do you have the same appearance as Tsukiyo-jiejie?"
The person in front of her was acting too strangely. Not to mention those strange eyes, even her tone and demeanor were completely different from Inaba Tsukiyo's.
If Inaba Tsukiyo was the type who couldn't stop talking in front of familiar people, this one had a bit of a villainous vibe.
Seele's reaction made this Inaba Tsukiyo unable to help but laugh, a genuine laugh, not a mocking one.
However, Seele didn't quite understand what this person was laughing about and looked to Victorica for help.
"Don't mind her. Honestly, ever since Tsukiyo came to this world, this long-dormant inner personality was born. According to the explanation of the Chaos Shard, she seems to be the so-called Consciousness of Honkai."
"Eh? Wait a minute, Victorica-jiejie. You said she's the Consciousness of Honkai? This… how is this possible?"
Seele stared blankly at this Inaba Tsukiyo, who was still smiling. The Consciousness of Honkai? Isn't that even more powerful than the Stigma carrying memories in her body? This… what exactly is going on?
"Don't be nervous. Just think of her as a memory existence, like your Stigma. In fact, the inner self of this person named Inaba Tsukiyo also has a latent but unawakened personality. It's just that because of my appearance, this consciousness was used to become the phenomenon of so-called multiple personalities."
After a very simple explanation of the situation, this Honkai personality came before Seele and pulled at Seele's body.
Seele's body seemed to be torn apart, and another Seele fell to the ground, rubbing her slightly sore buttocks.
"You… you… this… what exactly is this…"
"Do you understand? It's truly rare that you can coexist freely. But this is also proof of your failure. If you become a true Herrscher, the newly born consciousness will only possess the memories and ideals of the original body, with only the consciousness to destroy humanity. Several Herrschers have appeared in the past, after all, human civilization has already disappeared once."
Humanity in this world was not fighting Herrschers for the first time; human civilization had been destroyed before. In fact, at that time, human civilization could have continued.
The reason for the destruction lay in human foolishness. If they had a little more understanding, a little more consideration, human civilization would not have been destroyed.
"But… when I tried to influence this person, a meddler appeared. Who exactly was that person? Why does this person know such a powerful existence?"
She recalled the powerful figure from several months ago when she first appeared, preparing to erode Inaba Tsukiyo's inner self. That person was far beyond her ability to contend with.
It was precisely because of her that she was sealed within Inaba Tsukiyo's body. At the same time, Inaba Tsukiyo's body also contained an energy she had never seen before, constantly neutralizing her Honkai Energy, slowly strengthening Inaba Tsukiyo, making her feel like a battery.
"In short, you, who were once a high and mighty god, have been forcibly reduced to the humans you once despised the most. And, after seeing Tsukiyo's memories, do you still think humans are beings that need to be destroyed?"
Over these past few months, Victorica had been doing ideological work on this Consciousness of Honkai.
Simply put, the Consciousness of Honkai wanted to destroy everything human, eradicate all civilizations, reset this world, and return it to its original state.
However, during this period, after thoroughly experiencing Inaba Tsukiyo's emotions, the beliefs of this Consciousness of Honkai, which hated and wanted to destroy humanity, gradually began to waver.
Still, this had been her conclusion for countless years, and it was impossible to change it in such a short time.
Finally, the silent Herrscher Tsukiyo could only snort coldly, returning to the elevator and disappearing from Victorica and Seele's sight.
Seele did not tell Inaba Tsukiyo about meeting Victorica, or rather, Victorica did not allow Seele to tell Inaba Tsukiyo.
She was also very clear about the transaction between Inaba Tsukiyo and alaya. If she revealed her existence so quickly, it would only dampen Inaba Tsukiyo's enthusiasm.
Victorica loved Inaba Tsukiyo. Their decades of affection had integrated love into every detail of their daily lives.
Just like a couple in love, after living together for a long time, they no longer had the initial intensity of their first meeting.
This wasn't because their feelings had faded, but because they had grown accustomed to each other's presence; they had become an inseparable whole.
Just like now, Inaba Tsukiyo always thought Victorica was in her heart, but Victorica was actually within her body.
So… until they could truly meet, Victorica would not expose herself. Even if she saw many scenes that angered her, she would only be angry and feel nothing else.
Two days later, the test results were finally announced.
Unlike Bronya and Raiden Mei, who ranked second and third, Inaba Tsukiyo was in ninth place.
This was also because she lost more points on the written exam, even though her practical test was a perfect score.
Just as Kiana naively thought that first place would definitely be hers, she found that the top spot belonged to Fu Hua, their class monitor.
"What's going on! Why is she first! What about me? Where is my name?"
Kiana desperately searched for her name on the list, but after checking the top hundred, she couldn't find any trace of herself.
"Um… Kiana, your name… seems to be here."
Raiden Mei and Bronya found Kiana's name in the corner of the blackboard, in the corner of the corner.
"Something big happened… Older Sister Mei."
"Ah, just as expected. This person is really going to get a beating."
Compared to Kiana, who naively thought she did well and would be singled out for praise, Inaba Tsukiyo and Seele, who knew exactly how Kiana performed, couldn't bear to look.
"Why!!!"
As expected, a large "Fail" was written next to Kiana's name, and she was the only one who failed. For the entire St. Freya Academy to have only one person fail, it really brought shame to her maternal aunt, Theresa.
"I originally thought you'd cram at the last minute, but did you not even bother to do that, Kiana?"
At this moment, Welt appeared, holding Kiana's report card, displaying her test scores in front of her.
She gloriously scored zero in history, and the total for biology, history, geography, physics, and chemistry combined was only fifty points. Not only was Welt stunned, but even the other teachers who graded the papers were shocked.
Even an Elementary School Student doing these questions, even by guessing, could get a higher score than this. How on earth did this girl study?
While Kiana was wailing, Inaba Tsukiyo came to Welt's side, secretly took Kiana's report card, and walked towards Theresa's office.
Raiden Mei noticed Inaba Tsukiyo's actions and was about to stop Inaba Tsukiyo, but Bronya grabbed her.
"Older Sister Mei, you can't spoil this idiot too much. If you don't give her some pressure, she won't study seriously. Have you forgotten that those who fail the make-up exam cannot become a Valkyrie?"
"I… this… sigh~ I understand."
Realizing she had to be firm, Raiden Mei sighed helplessly, watching Inaba Tsukiyo leave.
Turning her head, Raiden Mei looked at Kiana, who was lying on the ground panting, and the pitiful Welt, and felt that Kiana was finished.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
"Come in."
Opening the door, Inaba Tsukiyo entered the office. At this time, Theresa was sitting in her office chair, looking a bit anxious as she waited for something.
Hearing the door close, Theresa looked up, saw that it was Inaba Tsukiyo, and couldn't help but jump up, asking anxiously.
"How is it? Tsukiyo-chan! How are the scores? How are Kiana's scores exactly?"
It felt as if Theresa was the one taking the exam, not Kiana.
It was like parents waiting outside the school during the college entrance exam, but the final result would only disappoint Theresa.
"Didn't you know Kiana's scores beforehand, Headmaster? With your privileges, that shouldn't be difficult, should it?"
She could have gotten Kiana's test scores in advance, so why did she need her to bring Kiana's scores over?
"Well… there's nothing I can do about it. If another teacher brought them over, they would definitely see Kiana's scores. If the scores were good, it would be fine, but if they were bad, it would be too embarrassing. I take good care of Kiana, and all the teachers at the school know this. If my niece's grades are poor, my authority as the Headmaster would be damaged."
'Please don't say something that doesn't exist.'
She almost blurted out her thoughts. Regarding Theresa's words, Inaba Tsukiyo wisely chose to remain silent, only silently handing the report card in her hand to Theresa.
As she took the report card, the smile on Theresa's face began to change, from an initial slight smile, gradually twisting, and finally, she directly tore the test paper into pieces.
"You're so disappointing!!! You idiot niece!!!"
