Otherwise, St. Freya Academy would be even more fitting for the concept of the Inner World.
"Hm? Why should I feel regret? Night Valkyries are impossible to conquer. Lucas, oh Lucas, you must calm down. You absolutely cannot fall into depravity. Think carefully, how can a wild flower compare to the fragrance of a home flower?"
After a harsh self-criticism in his mind, Lucas then quietly entered the back kitchen with Kiana.
Compared to the dining area of the cafeteria, the emergency lights in the back kitchen flickered much slower.
The interval between flashes was also longer.
Outside, the lights would only go out for 0.5 seconds before relighting, but inside, they would remain off for a full second.
Lucas and Kiana could use this to their advantage.
After some delay, four full minutes had passed.
Lucas had six minutes left; he had to quickly get near the four-leaf clover and pull his finger out.
Otherwise...
Kiana's mouth would show no mercy.
You can always trust a Valkyrie's bite force.
The two hid under the stove and moved quietly... In fact, as long as one understood the layout of the back kitchen and accurately predicted the Night Valkyrie's next move, the picking process would become simple.
The four-leaf clover in the back kitchen was located in a corner by a window, where someone had planted a pot of flowers.
The four-leaf clover was among them.
Compared to other places, the four-leaf clover in the cafeteria's back kitchen didn't require searching a larger area; as long as one could reach near that flower pot, Lucas could quickly find the four-leaf clover within it.
Not daring to even breathe, Lucas hugged Kiana, bent his body, and moved forward in small steps.
After walking for almost five minutes, the two finally reached the location of the four-leaf clover.
Lucas exhaled in relief, pulled out his finger, and wiped off the moisture on his body.
Entering the cafeteria to pick the four-leaf clover meant he had to keep Kiana's mouth covered the entire time.
This also meant Lucas only had ten minutes, and he had already started his final countdown in his mind.
He was terrified that the Paramecium would clench her teeth and directly bite off his three fingers.
At this moment, Kiana began to zone out. When she got near the four-leaf clover, she would experience this condition.
Thinking back then...
Lucas noticed that the four-leaf clover had an effect on Kiana due to her own actions.
During a certain reincarnation, Lucas, having nothing to do, took Kiana out for a wild hunt and arrived at the location of a certain four-leaf clover.
After dealing with the nearby Night Valkyrie at that time, Lucas noticed Kiana's unusual state, so he secretly noted the location. Half an hour later, he brought the Paramecium back, and she herself found the four-leaf clover in the grass and ate it.
Lucas naturally did not ignore this miraculous phenomenon.
And so, the journey of searching for the four-leaf clover began.
Meanwhile, in the Faculty Dormitory on the other side, Academy Principal Theresa clutched her head in agony, exclaiming, "Ahhh! My key! Why is my key gone? Who? Who dared to steal the Headmaster's key!"
"But... hehehe... the Headmaster probably knows who it is."
"Lucas... you bad student, there's no student worse than you in the entire St. Freya Academy, it must be you..."
"Hehehe... you did it, right, Lucas... why are you going to Hyperion? No... you can't go there, I'll stop you, you must... hehe..."
Lucas in the cafeteria had successfully obtained the third four-leaf clover.
After inserting it into Kiana's mouth, the two immediately left this dangerous place.
They left the same way they came.
The journey was safe.
However, shortly after leaving the cafeteria, the side effects of eating the four-leaf clover erupted, and Kiana tackled Lucas in a small grove, like a kissing maniac, unreservedly showering him with kisses.
Their passion ignited instantly.
Only after satisfying the white-haired beauty's wild demands was Lucas able to escape from the small grove.
Next, the two were to proceed to the teaching building and the Central Church in sequence to pick the other two four-leaf clovers.
Compared to the cafeteria, the four-leaf clovers in the teaching building and the Central Church were much easier to pick.
Lucas even managed to obtain two four-leaf clovers without alarming the Night Valkyrie.
The mission could be said to have been completed perfectly.
Outside the Central Church, wiping the moisture from his neck and face, Lucas turned around and looked at Kiana, who was sleeping on the ground.
That's right, the Paramecium had been ambushed by him again, with an anesthetic needle stuck in her butt.
Now that the medicine had taken effect, Kiana was fast asleep, ensuring she wouldn't react no matter what Lucas did.
Unfortunately, the effects of the medicine only lasted a few minutes.
Quickly stuffing the person into a trash can, Lucas turned and left.
It was 2:30 AM.
The night was still long.
Lucas's next destination was Hyperion.
With the key in hand, he could open the door of that floating battleship.
Hyperion's lock was not something he could pick with two bobby pins.
If his hacking skills were strong enough, he might be able to hack into Hyperion and open the door.
However, Lucas's hacking skills were not good enough; he could only open the door with the key.
The captivating floating battleship was located behind the Central Church.
Hyperion rested in the lake, like a ferocious steel beast. Its streamlined body and metallic luster fully showcased the crystallization of human technology.
Hyperion could single-handedly defeat even ordinary Emperor-class Honkai Beasts.
Only Judgment-class Honkai Beasts could put pressure on this floating battleship, like Chiyou.
As Lucas pondered, he had already arrived in front of Hyperion. He looked at the magnificent floating battleship, feeling a slight thrill.
"Finally, I can go inside."
Lucas had been coveting Hyperion for a long time, but previously, he lacked the ability to explore it.
Now that he had the key, he naturally wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
The area around Hyperion was also a very special place, similar to the teaching building's rooftop and the Martial Arts Arena.
As for how Lucas determined this? It was simple; he could tell by the scenery.
Special places would have exceptionally good scenery and no Night Valkyries to disturb them.
The calm lake surface was unruffled, and the steel beast Hyperion slept within it... The moon hung high by the lake, and together with its reflection in the water, they formed a beautiful painting.
Just like the center of the Maze Garden, the moonlight here was beautiful. Lucas had even brought Raiden Mei and others here for dates before.
Aside from needing to be careful of the original owner and other Yandere Valkyries, there was nothing else worth noting.
It was strange, however.
Hyperion seemed to have no owner.
Logically speaking, such a special place should have an owner, like Raiden Mei in the Maze Garden, Fu Hua in the Martial Arts Arena, Mobius on the teaching building's rooftop, and Aponia in the infirmary.
That's right, Aponia's infirmary was actually her exclusive special area.
Lucas had entered Aponia's infirmary once when he was hiding from Himeko Murata.
It was after that incident that Lucas discovered that certain special places could block other Valkyries.
These special areas, or rather, safe zones, played a significant role in his subsequent evasion of Himeko Murata's pursuit.
If Lucas hadn't intervened, no other Valkyries would have approached Hyperion... It was as if it had no owner.
