Persecuting Theresa is everyone’s responsibility

The view from above showed a beautiful island. Waterfalls flowed down the sides, rivers cut through the middle, and a school with stone buildings stood in the center. One statue caught the eye – a stone Ouroboros, its tail in its mouth. Nearby, a bridge looked like it had been broken in half.

The school grounds were amazing. It was mostly covered in grass and flowers, except for the buildings and paths. Huge waterfalls surrounded the school, making it look like it was under a giant arch.

At the island airport, Theresa, the head of St. Freya Academy, and two others were waiting for someone to arrive.

And five minutes ago…

Theresa had been reading a great comic book in the principal's office when Himeko pulled her away. They flew straight to the airport for what Himeko called "urgent orders from headquarters." But when they got there, it turned out they were just picking someone up.

In the car, Theresa read a message from Schicksal headquarters. It was a personal note from the bishop. She double-checked the calendar, just to be sure it wasn't a joke. It was real. She sighed, realizing she had no choice but to go along with it.

"Ugh, I don't get why Grandma is letting the school work with this person without any conditions," Theresa grumbled. She wondered, was anyone more important than the future leader of Schicksal? Without realizing it, she had shown her ambition.

What's more, I haven't finished reading that Roar comic book yet! It's a limited edition! The moment Himeko came in, it had vanished into thin air.

"Theresa, the bishop is just asking for our help. There's no need to exaggerate," Himeko replied, giving Theresa a look. Did she really not understand how her words could be taken the wrong way?

"But but whatever he asks us to help him before the school closes, and he can select the students in the school to work in his company," Theresa said angrily,

"Our school isn't closing! But it's getting worse. In three months, we won't get money from Schicksal headquarters anymore. Instead, we'll get 49% of the shares in a company called Mihoyo. They'll be in charge of our money from now on, and someone named Luo Mo will be in charge of it all."

"I can't believe it!" Theresa cried, pacing back and forth. "And the worst part is, we have to sell our land. It belongs to Schicksal, the people working there are ours, but this Luo Mo guy gets the shares!"

"Maybe he's really good at what he does," Himeko offered with a helpless smile.

Himeko thought to herself, It's not like our projects make any money. The school depends on headquarters, and you spend all your money on comics. I haven't been paid in two months!

"Ugh, I still can't believe the future leader of Schicksal has to work with someone else."

"Shh! Here comes the plane. Get it together, Theresa." Himeko sighed, then her face turned serious as she saw the plane. She pulled Theresa to her side.

"So this is St. Freya of the Far East? Just a student and a teacher here?" Luo Mo stepped off the plane, feeling refreshed. He didn't wait for introductions, just handed his luggage to the short, white-haired girl. When she didn't move, he shoved the rest into her arms. "Here, help me with this."

The scene was a little awkward for a while, and the St. Freya duo fell silent for a while, especially Teresa.

"Hey! That's rude! I'm the principal of this school!" Theresa shouted, tossing the luggage aside and pointing at him angrily.Himeko quickly picked up the bags, looking back and forth between the two.

Once upon a time he was also Theresa's blade, Luo Mo couldn't help but think back to the past, it was a period of cleaning on the ship's deck, and sometimes there would be an air split, but time polished himself, and he was now a two-handed blade.

Now, Theresa, you can only be persecuted by me!

"You turned out to be the head of this school!" Luo Mo pretended to be surprised and looked at Theresa with an incredulous expression.

"That's right! Now you know who you're dealing with. It's too late to try and butter me up!" Theresa puffed out her chest, her head held high with pride."Ah, so that's why the bishop asked me to help with St. Freya's money problems. I understand now." Luo Mo nodded knowingly.

Theresa seemed to have been hit by an arrow in her body, and her raised head lowered a little.

"So the principal here is just a kid. No wonder there are so many weird problems.""What?! What are you talking about? The school... What's wrong with it?" Theresa's face flushed red, unsure if she was embarrassed or angry. She glared at him.

"Hmm… For example, teachers' salaries have been delayed, account deficits are extremely outrageous, school bitter melon ingredients are consumed hugely, and documents are always processed until the last minute. "

Luo Mo tried to give an example, he just guessed, how could he know the specific situation, and he didn't have time to look at it, but he thought that his guess was not far from the truth.

Theresa was hit by several arrows in her body, suspected of being seriously injured, and could not get up again, so she could only be helped by Himeko to the school. After Luo Mo's operation, the introduction of the two sides was temporarily suspended.

The two women walked ahead, barely speaking. Luo Mo and Fu Hua followed. When they were out of earshot, Fu Hua looked up with her red eyes and sighed. "Didn't Bishop Kallen send you a picture of Principal Theresa?"

"Of course I recognized her! She's my favorite!" Luo Mo's mouth curled up at the corners as he looked at Delisilly, who was being teased up front.

He believed that teasing the school principal was everyone's responsibility.

"Favorite?" Fu Hua glanced at Theresa's young figure. She didn't know what to say. The thought of calling the police crossed her mind, but she didn't know the local police number.maybe contact interpol?

As they were about to reach the school, Theresa stopped and said in a serious tone: "Saint Freya is a girls' school. I can't let you two enter as you please. This is my bottom line."

It was obvious she hadn't paid much attention to Luo Mo's companion. Fu Hua might be wearing plain clothes, but she was far from ordinary.

Luo Mo felt a wave of intense anger coming from beside him. It vanished as quickly as it appeared, but he heard a distinct crack. Tiny cracks had formed on the road beneath Fu Hua's feet. She adjusted her glasses, and the sunlight made it impossible to see her eyes.

"But…" Luo Mo tried to save Teresa, believing that she shouldn't meet her end here.

"No buts. No boys allowed," Theresa cut him off, her tone firm and uncompromising.

This might be the last ultimatum she ever gives, Luo Mo thought to himself.

"Farewell, my dear Theresa," Luo Mo said, closing his eyes with a dramatic flourish.

"I'm a girl," Fu Hua stated flatly. The corner of her glasses had snapped while she was adjusting them, and someone had just dared to say those words to her face. She looked at Theresa calmly, but something in her eyes had changed.

"Ahhh! This, this..." Theresa stammered, flustered. She couldn't believe there was someone with a flatter chest than her. She puffed out her own chest defensively.

Wow, look, a talking corpse, Luo Mo thought, watching Theresa with amusement.

"Theresa, what are you saying? Did you even read the notice?" Himeko felt the tension rising. She sensed danger and quickly jumped in. "Hello, you must be Miss Fu Hua. The bishop mentioned you'd be joining us as a new student on a mission. The school won't interfere."

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Theresa mumbled, blushing.

In this life, St. Freya Academy was on good terms with headquarters. Theresa had chosen to become the principal herself, encouraged by Cecilia.

Cecilia had said, "The principal of St. Freya should be a true S-class Valkyrie!" She sounded a bit sad as she said it. She didn't have the fighting power she once did, and because of money problems, Theresa, as the bishop's granddaughter, was the best choice.

Theresa agreed, but only because Cecilia promised to live on St. Freya Island.

"Hmph, Siegfried, I'm sorry!" Theresa thought to herself.

So, headquarters could send people to the academy without any trouble, but it was rare for Valkyries to actually come there for missions.

After all, her school wasn't exactly a dangerous place. Theresa couldn't imagine why Valkyries from headquarters would ever need to come here.

But then she remembered Sirin and Raiden Mei. There were no orders about Mei yet, but Sirin was definitely here. For Cecilia's sake, she could tolerate headquarters sending one Valkyrie. The wise and understanding principal thought this to herself, trying to justify the situation.

In a slightly awkward silence, the four of them finally introduced themselves and headed towards St. Freya.
