From the mont the broadcast rang out through St. Freya Academy, to the mont it was physically silenced, Theresa and Hiko saw the entire thing happen clearly.
The two looked at each other, exchanging frantic eye contact.
Hiko, "Now do you believe ? Your niece really is a Herrscher."
Theresa, "Impossible…"
Although she had suspected that the Kiana in front of her wasn't the original Kiana but rather a product of her grandfather's experints, Siegfried giving that girl the na Kiana ant he had truly accepted her as his daughter.
So as her aunt, how could she possibly reject her own niece?
But what she never expected was that her niece's real identity would be so terrifying.
After hearing from Raiden i what kind of surgery she was going to have, Levi asked, "Is this sothing you agreed to on your own?"
Raiden i nodded. Seeing this, Levi didn't say anything to stop her.
After all, that thing wouldn't cause her any harm.
Even if it were triggered, she could easily nullify it with the power of the Herrscher of Thunder.
Installing it on her was purely for peace of mind.
After that, Raiden i left with Theresa, and seeing them go, Hiko also prepared to leave.
Before walking out, she said to Levi, "St. Freya's pretty big. If you get bored, you can look around… just don't cause trouble."
Levi smiled and nodded.
Once Hiko left, he stretched in the now-empty room.
"Mission complete, ti to go!"
As he spoke, the scene before him shifted again.
Levi returned to his small house, where the sa jars and bottles sat on the table as before he left.
[Ding! Mission complete!]
Regaining control of her body, Kiana wobbled a bit before adjusting, then sat down on the edge of the bed with her hands supporting her.
Just as she was about to open the group chat to give Levi a thumbs-up, her body suddenly jolted as if hit by an electric shock.
Kiana's eyes went wide with shock.
Monts later, she poked her head out of the room and tiptoed away, planning to ask Theresa where her dorm was.
After all, the clothes prepared for her had been sent there by Theresa, but Kiana herself had no idea where that was.

Levi stared at the item that had suddenly appeared in his hand, his expression a mix of confusion and disbelief.
He never expected the system's rewards to be mandatory.
If Silver Wolf hadn't transferred the money to him in ti last ti, the system would've just directly pulled the credits from her account into his.
But…
'Did Silver Wolf even have any credits?'
Levi tilted his head. "This system's making look like a total pervert."
He was a decent man, seriously. A very proper kind of decent man.
Bang!
"Levi! I heard you bought a bunch of poisons from the Alchemy Commission, you..."
"…"
"Don't tell you're planning to, huh?"
The girl in blue robes who burst in froze on the spot. Levi did too, except there was sothing on his head that no normal person should ever have.
Levi stared blankly at the girl standing by the doorfra.
She stared back at him, just as blankly.
Neither of them spoke. They just stood there, eyes locked in mutual awkward silence.
Finally, Levi couldn't take her strange stare anymore.
"Uh… Qingque…"
"No need to explain! Everyone has their own little quirks, I get it! It's my fault for not knocking first. I'm the guilty one here!"
"It's not what you think!"
Just as he tried to explain, Qingque suddenly slamd the door shut and yelled from outside, "The Diviner's calling for ! I have to go!"
Footsteps hurried away. Seeing there was no explaining his way out now, Levi sighed and went back to what he was doing before.
He took a deep breath and resolved to explain next ti they t.
"My good brother will believe !"
But for now...
"It's harvest ti!"
He hadn't claid his system reward yet.
Just like last ti, Levi opened the system panel and clicked the "Claim" button.
A glow of light flashed, and the reward na appeared on the screen.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained, The Kaslana Super Strength!]
"Yoo-hoo!"
Seeing that na, Levi couldn't help but cheer out loud.
———
Not far away, Qingque, who hadn't gone far, heard the noise and shook her head.
"Ahh~ to think my old friend would fall to such depravity…"
Should she report him to the Cloud Knights? She might even earn so credits for it.
"No! As his friend, how could I sell him out like that?"
But she couldn't just let him go on like this either.
At this rate, it'd probably escalate into actual cri, and when that happens, the Cloud Knights would haul him straight to the Ten Lords Commission.
Then they'd never get to play tiles together again.
"So it's up to , his friend, to set him straight!"
Qingque's expression hardened as she made her decision.
Objects are no substitute for people, if she could just help him find a girlfriend, his condition would definitely be cured!
And she already had soone in mind.
"If we're talking about the most beautiful woman in the world, the number one has to be..."
"...our great Diviner from the Divination Commission, of course!"
There could be no other choice.
"Bullshit! The number one beauty is clearly Chief Helmswoman Yukong from the Sky-Faring Commission!"
Qingque froze and turned toward the speaker.
He was dressed in the uniform of the Sky-Faring Commission, no wonder he'd say that.
She shook her head, not wanting to waste ti arguing.
She'd already snuck out just to visit Levi; she'd spent enough ti as it was.
If she wasted any more, she'd miss her off-hours, and that ant no tile gas later.
Qingque hurried off, while behind her, voices started to rise.
"Bullshit! The number one beauty is obviously Tingyun from the Whistling Flas Trading Guild!"
"Bullshit! It's Xueyi from the Ten Lords Commission!"
"You're all full of crap! It's clearly Miss Daiqing!"
"You're the one full of crap! Daiqing's just an online scamr! Only idiots like you would think she's number one!"
They didn't even know if that person was male or female, and they dared to call that number one?
"I'm telling you, the number one beauty is exactly who the Diviner said, our Divination Commission's Diviner!"
"..."
The argunt grew louder and louder until it turned into an outright brawl.
A few patrolling Cloud Knights noticed the commotion, but by the ti they arrived, the argunt had already escalated into a mass fight.
Hearing the noise behind her, Qingque quickened her pace.
"Not my business, not my business, not my business!"
Monts later, a group of Cloud Knights blocked her path.
"Excuse , miss..."
"Ah! It's not my fault! It's not my fault!"
Seeing her panicked reaction, the knights, who had only wanted to ask about the situation, exchanged looks.
Their captain nodded, then said sternly to Qingque, "Sorry, miss. We now suspect this matter is connected to you. Please co with us to assist in the investigation."
"..."
———
Inside his room, Levi frowned when he heard the noise, then walked to the window and shut it.
After that, he eagerly turned his attention to the system panel and the description of his new ability, "Kaslana Super Strength."
