Chapter 381: Mei: I've Become an Important Person Now
After learning about Theresa's "rolling on the ground" tactic from Mei, Welt exclaimed repeatedly that he had never seen such a shameless Principal.
Mei also never expected Theresa to stoop to such levels.
Even as a high school girl, she felt that Theresa had completely thrown her dignity away.
"So, did Theresa end up becoming a pony? I heard every pony has its own unique cutie mark. I wonder what Theresa's is."
Mei couldn't tell if it was her imagination, but she felt that Sovereign Yang had flipped some sort of switch and had completely let himself go.
Mei shook her head and said, "Principal Theresa didn't let us follow her to see. We only know that she did become a pony, but we don't know what kind. She's been hiding from us, not wanting us to know."
"Is that so..." Welt's face was filled with disappointment. He had wanted to know more about Theresa's embarrassing moments.
Mei was sure that Sovereign Yang had been pushed too far by the shock; otherwise, he wouldn't have become like this.
Sovereign Yang had sought out Mei for a legitimate reason. He was preparing to learn how Kiana controlled her own Stigma Space.
"Let's get back to the topic. You said earlier that people with Stigma Battlesuits can establish private server remote connections through the Stigma Space. Won't this be affected by any unforeseen circumstances?"
Welt was very concerned about the Stigma Battlesuits. He didn't want any unnecessary casualties among the users due to improper use.
"Stigmas are connected to the power of the Imaginary Space. Unless the connection to the Imaginary Space is severed, like what can happen in the Sea of Quanta, we'll be unable to contact each other. Otherwise, even if we are on the other side of the Earth, as long as we are immersed in the Stigma Space, we can exchange information in the shortest amount of time."
Mei recalled her insights from the Kaslana Stigma Space and said, "As far as I know, there are two ways to control the Stigma Space. One is to be the original owner of the Stigma, and the other is to be able to control the genetic information that constitutes the Stigma. Kiana used the latter power to ruthlessly erode the Kaslana Stigma Space, completely stripping the original Kaslana Stigma Will of its authority."
"But this requires a very high level of genetic control. So far, only Mr. Noldrei and Kiana have this ability. Even Dr. Tesla can only simply control her own genetic structure."
Welt nodded. He had only known that Stigmas were related to the Imaginary Space, but he hadn't realized they had such a crucial connection to genetic information.
As if remembering something, Mei said to Welt, "I know someone who has done more research in the field of genetic information. I think Sovereign Yang can talk to her for more details. She is an officer of the World Serpent, the Hare."
'World Serpent again?'
Welt had known about the World Serpent for a long time, but because their actions were always rather extreme and covert, he had always kept his distance, only paying more attention when it came to research on Previous Era ruins.
"I understand. Thank you for your help, Mei."
Ever since Raiden Mei took up the job of a housekeeper, she found that everyone came to her for information whenever something happened, making her feel like some high-ranking official.
'Is this the legendary 'seventh-rank official at the prime minister's gate'?'
Mei felt that the world had become too corrupt. Even the Sovereign of Anti-Entropy had to come to her to find out more solutions. What would happen in the future?
Mei knew the Sovereign of Anti-Entropy's character well enough to just act as a simple go-between for him. Otherwise, she would have to worry about whether she needed to keep her mouth shut and not talk to anyone.
After all, Welt still held the title of a teacher at St. Freya High School. After bidding farewell to Teacher Yang, Mei returned to her daily school life.
Not many people in Academy City could experience a normal school life now. Raiden Mei had become a unique figure.
Recently, Miss Mei's club president had been in a state of confusion, wondering if the Hikigaya Hachiman on TV was the same useless head of the security team she knew in real life.
The young lady had probably never encountered anything so dark in her life. The darkest thing she had probably ever seen was someone bringing a suitcase full of cash to bribe her father.
Just a short while ago, Yukinoshita Yukino had been slamming the table and shouting at Hikigaya Hachiman. But in the blink of an eye, he had gone abroad and struck hard, like an imperial demon blade on a killing spree.
This made Yukinoshita Yukino wonder if she had misjudged him. Was Hikigaya Hachiman actually a very capable person? Or had he received excellent training outside?
All of this confused Yukinoshita Yukino to the point where she couldn't eat or sleep.
"President Yukinoshita, President Yukinoshita, are you alright? We should go to the Kengan Ashura ranking tournament today."
Raiden Mei pulled Yukinoshita Yukino back from her thoughts. Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask Mei, "Mei, do you think... I'm really a bad judge of character?"
'This is the third time you've asked me this.'
Raiden Mei had to be blunt. "Is it possible that Captain Hikigaya was just randomly picked for the job?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Yukinoshita immediately dismissed the idea. She said seriously, "Mei, do you think our Chairman is an idiot? Could an idiot run such a large Academy City? Could he even order people to go on a killing spree in other countries?"
Yukinoshita Yukino had an expression that said, "Mei, you're kidding me." She was convinced that Raiden Mei was just trying to fool her due to confidentiality issues.
'Right, President, you're right about everything. You wouldn't believe me even if I told you the truth!'
Miss Raiden Mei was on the verge of a breakdown. Yukinoshita Yukino neither thought there was a problem with her judgment of character, nor did she think the higher-ups were just being lazy and picking people at random. What else could she, Raiden Mei, explain?
"President, I think we should stop worrying about this for now. When Captain Hikigaya is done with things over there, you can just ask him directly, and you'll know everything, right?"
"No!" To her surprise, Yukinoshita Yukino rejected Mei's suggestion again. She said with difficulty, "When he comes back, he will definitely use this to mock me for mocking him. I will not allow that to happen!"
'For fuck's sake, then why are you asking me so many questions?!'
Raiden Mei took a deep breath. She felt that she should give this president a good taste of her iron fist
