Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Your Circle is Really Messy..

Wraith glanced sideways and saw a coin embedded in the wall behind her. It appeared she had just thrown it at her.

However, this girl had a terrifying high level of skill, and the angle of attack was precise. She only managed to scratch her outermost fake face, without actually harming her real skin.

"Oh." Wraith immediately tore off her disguise, reverting back to her true form as a girl. "Does Saint Freya Academy teach how to see through disguises? Why is everyone able to see through me so easily? After yesterday's lesson, I even hid my scent today."

The immortal ignored her words and coldly repeated, "More information."

"Okay, I knew you'd be too lazy to respond." Wraith pursed her lips helplessly, then brought a glass of water. "According to the latest information, after the explosion at the Queen's Hotel last night, the Singapore government cut off contact with Schicksal, and the local police launched a manhunt for you."

"No wonder there are high-definition wanted posters of me everywhere. It seems Singapore and Cocolia have struck some sort of deal." Fu Hua rested her chin on one hand, deep in thought, before realizing the other party had more to say.

"By the way, you mentioned 'last night's lesson'? Did someone else show up last night? Who was it?"

"It was Miss Ling Ling, your girlfriend." Wraith responded casually, showing no particular surprise that Fu Hua had a girlfriend.

After all, she was born a Valkyrie, and the fact that Fu Hua was a lesbian didn't surprise her.

"Huh? My girlfriend? When did I get a girlfriend..." Fu Hua was momentarily startled, but then quickly realized the situation.

'Well, this strange way of speaking must be from Lin Ling. Really, even now, she's trying to take advantage of her... But thankfully, it seems she escaped.'

"So, was it just her? Was there a white-haired girl with two braids?" Fu Hua asked.

Wraith shook her head. "No, she was the only one who came last night."

"In that case, it seems Kiana has really fallen into the hands of Anti-Entropy? This is troublesome." Fu Hua looked uneasy and continued, "Wraith, any news from Otto? Since the Singapore government is no longer neutral, Schicksal can send large-scale support, right?"

"The Overseer? He sent word ten minutes ago, saying your mission will continue as usual. He even said he hopes your mission fails, as it would make the next part of the plot more interesting."

"That guy!" Fu Hua stood up, clearly displeased. "He can forget it, my mission won't fail! Wraith, go investigate any information on Kiana and the Herrscher Gem for me, and get me a new combat uniform."

Currently, Fu Hua was wearing an ill-fitting wide hood she had taken from Watt. Although it could cover her face, it made her more conspicuous now that the Singapore government had sided with Anti-Entropy.

"No problem." Wraith nodded in agreement and led the immortal to the dressing room.

As Fu Hua was changing clothes, Wraith pointed to a room in the back. "By the way, do you want to call your girlfriend to join you? She's resting in the room and probably hasn't woken up yet."

"No need." Fu Hua shook her head slightly. "Let her rest. What comes next isn't something an reserve Valkyrie can handle..."

"No, I have to save my wife, Chongchong, too!"

But before Fu Hua could finish speaking, a fully armed white-haired girl burst from the inner room.

This girl was Lin Ling. She had known the immortal would come this morning and had been waiting for her.

"I suggest you don't go." The immortal immediately refused. "Kiana is likely under strict Anti-Entropy supervision. It's too dangerous to bring a trainee Valkyrie who's just started at the academy. But don't worry, I will save her."

"You might not believe it, but I've suddenly gotten much stronger. I'll definitely help you and won't be a burden."

However, Lin Ling, who had other important goals, insisted on going.

"No!"

But the immortal still rejected her.

"Wife?" Wraith was taken aback by Lin Ling's earlier statement.

Didn't this girl claim to be Fu Hua's girlfriend? How does she also have a wife? And Fu Hua didn't seem to mind her calling another woman in front of her... Tsk tsk tsk, I'd heard that Saint Freya Academy had a relaxed atmosphere, but I didn't expect it to be this relaxed and chaotic. Good thing I never went to school there...

After hearing Wraith's muttered remarks, the immortal turned her head, puzzled. "Wraith? What's up with you?"

"Nothing, just surprised at how chaotic your circle is..."

Fu Hua tilted her head. "Huh?"

"Ahaha, I won't bother you. I'll continue investigating the information. I'm off."

Fearing she might get entangled in this complicated relationship drama, Wraith quickly made her exit.

Meanwhile, Lin Ling and Fu Hua continued arguing.

"In any case, I won't let you come along. Just stay here safely..."

Naturally, Fu Hua was firmly against Lin Ling taking such risks.

"But... huh?"

Before Lin Ling could argue further, the immortal suddenly knocked her unconscious with a swift chop to the back of the neck.

Then Fu Huq sharply turned her head, sensing a powerful presence approaching.

The person lingered by the door for a moment, as if trying to catch her attention.

After a moment's thought, the immortal jumped out of the window and followed.

Shortly after she left...

"Ouch~ That was harsh."

Lin Ling, who had been knocked out, stood up again, rubbing her sore neck.

"If I hadn't just received a major boost to my basic attributes from Rita, I would've been down for at least a day and a night after that hit."

Then, seeing the open window, Lin Ling realized Fu Hua must have been lured away by Siegfried.

"Well, I'll take this opportunity to slip away too."

With the immortal gone, Lin Ling quietly sneaked off in another direction...
