"Supreme Leader..." Bronya looked at the man before her, testing the waters.
Though she didn't know what relationship her future self had with Anti-Entropy, judging by his expression, it couldn't be bad.
Sure enough, hearing Bronya's form of address, Welt only showed slight awkwardness without any other reaction.
"Bronya..., just call me Mr. Welt." Looking at this still young heir before him, Welt pushed up his glasses, "If that feels uncomfortable, you can call me Teacher Yang."
As he spoke, Welt made subtle adjustments to his appearance.
During this period, he should still be teaching at St. Freya Academy. To help Bronya feel more at ease, Welt took the initiative to reveal his identity.
However, seeing that familiar face, not only did Bronya freeze, but outside the instance, Theresa, left in the frozen world, also widened her eyes.
What was going on? Could someone explain this to her?
To ensure the students' privacy and safety, she had spent huge amounts of money and effort.
From admissions to safety facilities, from training halls to student dormitories, every step had been personally overseen by her, Theresa!
She had put in so much effort just to prevent spies from organizations like her grandfather's and Anti-Entropy from disrupting the students' daily lives.
And now you're telling her that she, the mighty Principal, after busy recruiting teachers herself, not only failed to stop spies but actually hired the BOSS of their rival organization?!?
Thinking this, Theresa immediately went red with anger.
If the spectators' panel functions hadn't been temporarily disabled, she would have definitely given that guy a piece of her mind.
"T-teacher?!" At this moment, even Bronya's typically expressionless face clearly showed her surprise.
After all, this was truly shocking.
Imagine your ordinary teacher who was solving problems in class yesterday suddenly doing a complete 180 today, becoming the leader of the world's second-largest organization, and even becoming your nominal superior.
What would you think in that situation?
"Ah! Teacher?!"
Nearby, the onlookers' eyes began to sparkle upon hearing this news.
Feeling their gossip souls burning brightly, March 7th and Stelle rushed to their side, their curiosity completely unconcealed.
"Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang, you were actually a teacher? Is this child your student?"
"What about you? Little Bronya, can you tell us what Uncle Yang was like before? Was he strict in class? Was he a boring adult?"
March 7th giggled, asking questions here and there, while Stelle was completely like a curious baby, her mouth never stopping.
"You guys... that's enough." Welt's mouth twitched, but in front of Bronya, he still wanted to try to appear reliable.
So he reached out and placed his hands on March 7th and Stelle's shoulders.
Originally, he had planned to show some adult authority, but the moment his hand touched Stelle, a strange sensation suddenly came over him.
"Uncle Yang, I have something fun that can help you shed that boring adult label~"
Before his eyes, the girl's form changed dramatically, her originally tall figure rapidly shrinking until she became a petite girl wearing a mask.
"?!"
Welt pushed the girl away in surprise, but before anyone could react, a huge bomb appeared above everyone's heads.
"Quick, scatter!"
Himeko's box instantly transformed, a saw-equipped drone flying out at high speed, heading straight for the bomb in the sky, planning to detonate it mid-air.
Welt also summoned the Star of Eden, using gravity to make the bomb float higher into the sky.
Under this coordinated combo, the bomb quickly moved away from the ground and was safely detonated in the air.
"W-what? Confetti?!" Seeing this scene that looked like a prank, March 7th was completely confused.
The bomb didn't produce the deafening explosion they had expected.
Instead, after it burst, confetti rained down from the sky, sparkling with a unique gleam under the neon lights.
And in the center of all that confetti, a masked girl was cheering and clapping, looking extremely happy.
"Ta-da! The great Hanabi makes her grand entrance!"
With the girl's appearance, fireworks burst forth one after another, attracting more and more attention.
"Hey, look, what's this?"
"Don't know, some special Penacony performance?"
"Who cares, let's watch first. It's just a dream anyway, what's there to be afraid of?"
Crowds began to gather. In Penacony's special zone, death didn't exist.
So even those VIPs who were usually most afraid of death gradually became bolder.
"Hi~ everyone, welcome to Hanabi's Fun Little Theater."
Hanabi spread her arms and pulled out a red carpet under everyone's gaze.
"Now, let me introduce today's performance~ The name of this show is—!"
She deliberately paused, then cheerfully announced: "Run, Lightning!"
The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck, igniting the red carpet in Hanabi's hands.
And behind that burning carpet stood Mei, now wearing a mask matching Hanabi's, in a hypnotized state.
"Hehe! Run, that's right, those who run too slow will be turned to charcoal~"
Starting with that lightning bolt, the entire Aideen Park was now covered in lightning like divine punishment, ball lightning appearing constantly, violently ravaging the crowds below.
Even knowing they couldn't die, most visitors still panicked. Under this natural disaster-like lightning, humanity's most primitive fears were stirred up, especially since those gathered in Penacony were the world's most death-fearing wealthy elite.
So they ran frantically through this dream world, trampling each other, exposing humanity's ugliest side.
"Mei has... become a Herrscher!" Bronya looked at the figure in the sky, her eyes full of anxiety.
First Kiana, then Mei - if they returned to St. Freya Academy like this, the consequences would be unthinkable.
However, fortunately, current Bronya didn't lack allies.
"Teacher Yang, please save Mei."
"Heh~ Of course." Welt chuckled, immediately agreeing.
He reached out, constructing a scarf for himself, and like pre-battle preparation, tied it around his neck.
(Welt's classic Honkai 3rd look)
"Fighting a Herrscher, it's been a while since I've felt this fired up!"
