Four Split Personalities

"I don’t remember, I was probably in Inner City District for a meeting at the time. When I came back, I only heard that it caused quite a stir."

"She secretly burned Dean Andre’s beard that day! Said she wanted to recall childhood memories!"

"Such adorable childhood..."

"Anyway, Meili won’t do!"

"What about Ji Liang? Ji Liang is very reliable."

"Ji Liang is so stubborn... Aren’t you afraid that after hearing about this, he’ll sneak into Black Vatican Priest’s place and kidnap him? Or threaten Prince Chen Wangyu with death? Are you trying to completely offend the Church of the Dawn?!"

"What about Qian Bird? Isn’t Qian Bird in a hot romance with Ji Liang, and she’s Teresa’s roommate, she should be able to provide some constructive opinions?"

"Thanks to you, Mr. Chairman, Qian Bird has been busy with matters of the [Warfire League] recently, sleeping less than three hours a day. Are you planning to have me call her now?"

"Ah..."

Foster felt he had never been so troubled since birth, desperately closing his eyes.

"Little Teresa."

Lian also sighed, promptly ignoring Foster, who was rarely of no use, and seriously asked the evidently distracted Teresa, "Do you... really think you’ve fallen for that Black Vatican Priest?"

"It’s not just thinking!"

Teresa played with her braid, slightly blushing, and murmured softly, "I really like him..."

"Honestly, I’ve always wanted to chat with Little Teresa about love topics."

Lian rubbed his forehead, the curve of his mouth exceptionally bitter, "But never thought it would be in this situation."

"Thumping."

Danu’s [Witch] pursed her lips and hugged her shoulders, "My heart, it’s thumping."

"Normal, it would be problematic if it didn’t thump."

Foster, in a hopeless sarcastic manner, muttered, "In any case, Teresa definitely shouldn’t let the Dean see her like this, or it will absolutely... absolutely... absolutely become a diplomatic issue in their eyes."

"If you have no ideas, then say fewer sarcastic remarks..."

Lian gave Foster a sideways look, then turned to Teresa with a serious face, "So, Little Teresa, assuming... well, I already know you like that Black Vatican Priest a lot, then what? What do you plan to do?"

"What to do?"

"Mm, what do you think you should do?"

"Um... join the Church of the Dawn?"

"..."

Lian slapped Foster’s thigh forcefully, pausing before tremblingly saying, "Are you serious?"

"Um, not really serious."

Teresa shrank her neck, lightly coughed, then looked down her little face with a bit of confusion, muttering, "But I also don’t know what to do."

Lian gave a bitter smile, shook his head, "Who could know such things... No matter how you look at it, it’s too ludicrous... Honestly, Little Teresa, if you’re just trying to pull a prank, I admit Foster and I indeed got scared."

Teresa pursed her lips, didn’t say anything, and only shattered Lian’s last trace of fantasy with silence.

"Seems like we can only admit..."

Foster gently patted his cheek, his ability to manage expressions finally gradually returned to normal, and he softly said, "Teresa has some level of affection for that Black Vatican Priest from the Church of the Dawn, at least right now."

Teresa looked down at the tip of her shoes, her cheeks flushed, while Lian deeply sighed.

"But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just like Teresa mentioned before, the Black Vatican Priest and Prince Chen Wangyu are merely boyfriend and girlfriend, although not single, he indeed also has the right to be liked by others, and Teresa has the qualification to like him, haha, on an objective level this doesn’t violate morality."

Foster slightly curved his mouth, the style gradually shifting from a ’worried older brother’ back to ’one of Academy City’s most excellent students in nearly a century, the most influential captain of the Law Enforcement Force,’ briskly saying, "Of course, this merely doesn’t violate morality on an objective level. Honestly, Teresa, if your feelings for the Black Vatican Priest become known, the vast majority of people will not stand by your side, they’ll even criticize and harm you, that’s undoubtedly a foreseeable result."

Teresa slowly nodded, her delicate shoulders seemingly carrying something, constantly trembling.

"Are you ready for this?"

"..."

"Do you know what you’re about to face?"

"..."

"Are you sure you can bear those possibly unrewarded consequences?"

"..."

"Do you think you’re more suited to the Black Vatican Priest than Prince Chen Wangyu?"

"..."

"Can you guarantee your feelings won’t be trampled by him?"

"..."

"You..."

"Foster!"

Lian embraced the almost curled-up Teresa, rarely giving the man beside her a reproachful look, "That’s enough!"

"Not enough."

Yet Foster simply gave a flat response, even adding, "Not nearly enough."

After several seconds of staring, Lian silently released the trembling delicate girl from her arms.

"If you can bear it."

Foster gently tapped his temple, calmly said, "Then I personally am willing to support you unconditionally, the reason is simple, because you are Teresa Tarosa, a junior I cherish deeply, so regardless, I will stand by your side, but the prerequisite is you can bear it."

Teresa lifted her little face, her eyes reddening as she looked at Foster, just as she was about to say something, he suddenly changed the subject—

"But, if you’re not ready yet, Teresa."

Foster’s smile grew, smiling softly, "Then I can tell you, the time you have to ponder is really much more than you imagine."

The girl stared blankly at her senior, stammering asking, "Wha... what do you mean?"

"Quite simple, for instance, you can first ’get to know’ that Black Vatican Priest."

Foster held up one finger, gently shaking it, "’Friendship’ lasts quite long, long enough for you to think out a reason that can perfectly convince yourself to do this or that, and work for it."

"Reason..."

After muttering softly, the girl curled up in the chair, falling into deep thought.

Silence lasted for around five minutes, finally—

"I understand what senior means."

Raising her head again, the blush had quietly faded from Teresa’s face, she softly smiled, then slightly bowed to the couple in front of her, "I’m sorry for causing trouble for Senior Lian and Senior Foster."

"Oh dear..."

Lian gasped softly, then stood up to walk behind Teresa, affectionately hugged her shoulders, "Being bothered by cute younger generations often can be quite enjoyable, though earlier my heart almost jumped out."

"Ehhehe."

Teresa rubbed her nose awkwardly, then turned with a rather serious expression to Foster, "Senior..."

"Yes, I’m here."

Foster immediately replied comfortingly without delay.

Then—

"I want to participate in the thirty-two to sixteen match."

"Hmm, that is quite troubling indeed, given that the tournament has reached this point."

"Also, I want to face Black Vatican Priest in a match."

"Haha, not only to suddenly compete but to secretly manipulate too? You really are getting more and more excessive."

"Yes, so can senior help me?"

"Ah, it’s something you shouldn’t even need to think about..."

Foster sighed, then took out the previously mentioned bottle of [Compound Water Agent], and placed it gently on the table, "If possible, who would refuse a request from [Witch]?"

"Thank you, senior!"

"Go back and rest."

"Mm!"
