Four Split Personalities

Yu Chen:

"Yes! I’m a [Witch]! Fourth-year student at Dan Slave Military Academy, last [Warfire League] champion, a super military genius that comes once in a thousand years, the incredibly powerful [Witch] Theresa Tarosa!"

As if convincing herself, Theresa stiffly declared, her face serious, then buried her face in her hands the next second: "Ugh! So embarrassing!"

"Pfft~"

Yu Chen couldn’t help but laugh, nodding in agreement with a smile: "Yeah, incredibly powerful!"

"Ugh, I want to bury my head in the sand."

Theresa mumbled with a despondent look, then took a deep breath, trying to act nonchalant but looking very stiff, asking: "So, did you come alone, Sister Wang Yu?"

"Eh?"

Yu Chen blinked, then smiled and shook her head: "No, I came with friends from the exchange group because Foster invited me. He’s also competing today."

[He’s here!]

"Wow~!"

Theresa’s eyes widened, then instinctively reached for her shoulder, only to grab at air. She remembered she had changed her hairstyle specifically for casual wear and could no longer rely on playing with her braid to ease her tension.

"His name is Hei Fan, he’s also a trainee of the Holy Church Union, just like me. Since you’re the judge, Theresa, you should know him, right?"

Yu Chen smiled sweetly, then frowned slightly: "Oh right! Since you know I have a boyfriend, you must know about Hei Fan too, eh heh, I was slow to react."

[Super! Know!]

Responding loudly in her heart, Theresa only lightly nodded on the surface, obediently saying: "Yeah, I know. Black Vatican Priest is one of the seed players in this tournament, Foster senior said he performed very impressively during the unfortunate disaster in Misha County, so he hopes he can participate this time!"

Yu Chen did not modestly downplay Mo Tan’s achievements, she just nodded earnestly: "Yes, I was there too at the time, it was indeed very difficult, and Hei Fan was under a lot of pressure..."

"Exactly, despite being so busy, he managed to draft so many wonderful plans with limited time for command!"

"Eh? How did you know Hei Fan was busy, Theresa?"

"Ah..."

Noticing her slip of the tongue, Theresa was taken aback for a moment before awkwardly smiling and saying, "I... I definitely know, as someone as outstanding as Black Vatican Priest must have lots of trivial matters to deal with... right?"

At the end of her sentence, the girl was clearly feeling a bit guilty.

Since in her judgment, Hei Fan initially didn’t hold a very high position, and there were influences from various factors all around, it wasn’t until a certain point that he gained absolute authority.

If Theresa’s assessment was correct, apart from commanding battles and overall coordination, Hei Fan probably didn’t have much work, the reason he seemed to lack time might be due to other reasons like being particularly fond of sleep or praying for ten hours a day.

This phenomenon also appeared during the Sumer combat, where the Hei Fan Priest seemed to think even while asleep, often updating proactive plans without losing control of the situation.

Furthermore, Theresa faintly noticed that during that period, the Hei Fan Priest seemed to be in a bad mood, which made her feel a bit saddened upon noticing it.

After hearing this, Yu Chen shook her head with a light smile: "He wasn’t anyone important then, people over in the City of Light didn’t even know of his existence, but... hmm, during that time... ahem, Hei Fan, he... prayed for a long time every day, so he was indeed a little short on time, I suppose."

"Yeah! So that’s how it was!"

Not doubting the hurried explanations made up for Mo Tan’s occasional loss of consciousness, Theresa nodded understandingly, then pretended to ask casually: "By the way, why haven’t I seen Hei Fan Priest? Didn’t you all come together?"

Yu Chen blinked and softly said: "Yes, we did, but he had to leave suddenly for something, so he might not be able to come back for a while. But he’ll certainly be there for the competition!"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Theresa’s eyes, she forced a smile: "That’s quite lucky then, if Hei Fan Priest was there, Sister Wang Yu wouldn’t have been able to save me just now~"

"Pfft, not necessarily."

Yu Chen chuckled lightly, then thoughtfully said: "But speaking of which, if Hei Fan were here, I probably wouldn’t be needed, he’s actually very aware of his surroundings and his decree spell would be perfect to catch you."

To avoid overthinking, Theresa didn’t dare imagine Yu Chen’s scenario, she just lowered her gaze and nodded lightly, then quickly changed the topic.

And so, the two girls who had met inexplicably sat together chatting for about twenty minutes or so, perhaps due to their slightly similar personalities but vastly different experiences, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

Theresa shared many interesting stories about Academy City with Yu Chen, introduced some bakeries she liked to visit with friends, and mentioned a good friend who’s been showering her in love since getting into a relationship.

Yu Chen, on the other hand, shared some things about the City of Light, like the arguments between the bishop of the Justice Church and the High Priest of the Wealth Sect over the price of two copper coins on a bunch of green onions, shattering Theresa’s perception of the Holy Land. Of course, she also talked about matters that would surely catch Theresa’s interest, like the operations of the coalition forces in Misha County.

"So that’s how it was..."

Lowering her eyes slightly, Theresa sighed, murmuring: "As expected, the real battlefield is quite different from color blocks on a sand table. If I, the so-called top student, went to the front line, I’d probably be too scared to even move... thinking that those who laughed and talked with you not long ago are never coming back, I... ugh, how is that boy named Little Wolf doing?"

Yu Chen nodded and whispered: "The child is doing well, he joined the Justice Sect while in Misha County, later went back to the City of Light with the main forces and officially received baptism. He’s already a preparatory Saint Knight; I went to check on him before I came, he seemed very healthy, probably well taken care of."

"That’s wonderful..."

Theresa exhaled deeply, admitting with some embarrassment: "I thought after going through all that, he’d be completely dispirited, but I guess I underestimated him."

Yu Chen’s expression was a bit subtle as she mumbled: "There were changes, but they had nothing to do with being dispirited."

"Eh?"

"The child can now skillfully use lime powder, and fakes death very convincingly."

"Ah?"

"Yes, it was said personally by Gerbin Knight, who claimed Little Wolf would definitely become an excellent Just Knight?"

"Just Knight..."

Theresa swayed slightly, looking completely puzzled and bewildered on her face: "Do you have to learn to fake death and how to use lime powder for that?"

Recalling the style of the Justice Sect folks, Yu Chen didn’t have the heart to tell Theresa that was the very basic of the Justice Sect’s corporate culture, just nodded with a wry smile.

"This is really... ah! It’s already this time!"

Theresa was in the middle of speaking when she suddenly cried out softly, then quickly jumped up from the chair, hastily saying to Yu Chen: "Oh, Sister Wang Yu, I have to go, I have something to do!"

"Yeah, be careful on the road, and don’t fall again."

"Don’t worry, that was just an accident, I’m not usually that clumsy... wah!"
