Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Chapter 157 Urgent! Physiological Reactions After Drinking Too Much Water

Pa slipped and landed, feeling that she had slept quite comfortably.

He stretched on the sofa, smacked his lips, and his memory was still stuck on discussing with Principal Oss about the layout of the underground sewers and how to attack.

A large face suddenly appeared in my line of sight: "You're awake?"

Pa slipped and landed: ?

He rolled over and stood up from the sofa, stretching his limp limbs, before striking a pose befitting the head of a school:

“Rui Busi, how could you barge into the principal's office without permission? Do you know that doing so is a violation of school rules…”

She seemed not to hear him and continued, "Head Nurse Big Sweetie seems to have said she's taking Cute Knight into the sewers."

The smooth flow of her thoughts suddenly came to an abrupt halt as the cloth slipped to the ground.

"You can still make it in time to collect their bodies!"

Before he could sort out his thoughts, he grabbed the pointer he always carried and ran frantically toward the underground sewers.

“Oh dear, young people these days are so impatient. I haven’t even finished speaking yet,” the principal’s office door had already closed, and she chuckled mischievously, “‘There’s still time to collect their bodies,’ if they had woken up a few days later.”

I tidied up the bottles of potions on the table. Hmm, hopefully Director Pa won't be in a rush to go to the bathroom later.

However, after drinking so many potions, if they don't work and I have to keep pouring them in... She glanced at the somewhat messy but still clean sofa: "Sofa-chan, congratulations on escaping this ordeal."

Sofa: (￣_￣|||)

Before leaving, I studied the underground sewer map hanging on the wall and counted the tunnels on my fingers:

"Huh? Only twelve floors? No wonder Director Pa didn't believe Principal Os could successfully defeat the Dark Emperor. Wow, the underground sewers must be very lively now."

It's a pity I can't see it with my own eyes.

However, the thought of her former boss's incompetent rage made her feel good.

Be careful not to overdo it.

"Why worry unnecessarily, System? Things are going in the direction you predicted, so what's wrong with letting me have some fun?"

A hand entered the field of vision and flipped the topographic map over.

The remaining floors then came into view.

"Oh, I see." Rui Bu Si suddenly realized. "Thank you, Teacher Victoria."

"You're welcome, Rui Busi. There's something I'm curious about that I haven't figured out yet. I was wondering if I could take a few minutes of your time?"

As she spoke, her voice remained as gentle as ever, and the melancholy that had been lingering on her face since she started teaching was gone, as if she had emerged from the shadow of the dark curse.

"No." A very decisive and straightforward refusal.

"Hmm?" The smile unconsciously faded a bit, and realizing that her expression was a little stiff, she forced a smile back, which looked somewhat distorted.

Unfortunately, Rapunzel didn't have the habit of carrying a mirror with her so that Victoria could look in it.

Her roommates all have them.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the habit of bringing her roommate with her.

She struggled to hold the empty potion bottle with one hand. If Miya Xing hadn't told her seriously before leaving that the potion bottle needed to be properly disposed of and returned to the infirmary, and that it couldn't be thrown away directly, she would have already thrown it all into the trash can.

I still really want to just throw it away.

However, it does sound like the consequences could be quite severe...

Wait a minute, how did Miya Star know she would want to throw the potion bottle in the trash?

Wait a minute, why does she insist on helping to deal with these potion bottles?

But if she already has it in her hand, wouldn't it make her seem like she has something wrong with her brain to put it back?

She looked at Victoria, winked meaningfully, and snapped her fingers in front of Victoria's face with her free hand: "Because I don't like talking to puppets, it feels weird..."

"Ugh—" he muttered to himself as he left, a shiver running through him. "This is really unsettling."

Walking towards the direction where her hands could be freed, Victoria remained standing behind her. A moment later, as if waking from a dream, she looked around blankly, fragments of memory returning. She stared in despair at her empty wrists—

The two magical binding rings above had somehow fallen into some corner, and all that remained in my memory was a mysterious figure and the bell that controlled her.

Pa slipped and landed, panting as he rushed to the entrance of the underground sewer, startling the few people who were secretly lying in wait.

"Director Pa, you're awake?!"

Looking at the students with their surprised faces, he was briefly confused, but then he gradually sorted out his thoughts. He recalled Rui Bu Si's expression just now and belatedly realized that he had been obviously scammed in his haste.

"It's really too..."

"That's really great!" Ukunana interrupted his anger, which had not yet been vented.

One second they were thinking that there was no movement down there, so why not go down and check it out without waiting for news? The next second, Director Pa, who should have been unconscious, was standing right in front of them, perfectly fine.

He was pulled by the students to jump into the sewer. The moment he landed, he felt the normal physiological reaction that occurs when the body drinks too much water.

Looking up at the light at the cave entrance, I realized that the person had already come down.

As a shout of "attention" echoed through the sewers, he felt as if he had returned to the glorious days when he fought alongside his teammates.

No, no, no! He quickly shook his head to clear his mind. Now was not the time for him to reminisce about his passionate past, and besides…

He closed his eyes. He hadn't drunk much water before bed. What had Da Tian Tian done to him while he was drinking Sleeping Beauty? Oh no, he had to finish this quickly!

……

"I do not wish to be the morning dew, nor the evening glow..."

In the eleventh level of the underground sewer, the two guards were driven to distraction by the singing.

The people inside were originally on the eighteenth floor, guarded by the Emperor himself.

However, the constant chanting annoyed the emperor so much that he threw it to the eleventh floor.

Heaven knows how this human could read the book in the underground sewers, which are usually dark. However, two unlucky guys were assigned to guard it and threatened her in a harsh voice that they would tear up the book if she continued reading.

So the heavy book was closed, the chanting stopped, and they breathed a sigh of relief. But the peace and quiet lasted less than half a day before the singing returned.

"...I wish to be a seed, buried deep in the ground, taking root, sprouting, bearing fruit, and spreading to the ends of the earth."

"She has to recite it before meals, she has to recite it after meals, and she has to hum a song every now and then. She's the one who's locked up, but we're the ones who are being tortured!"

In theory, guards are not allowed to communicate with prisoners.

Now people treat individuals like they're being tortured; who cares about the theory anymore?

The singing stopped.

They changed to another song.

"The stars illuminate the mountains and rivers, and light is drawing near to us..."

The guard grew impatient again: "So much time has passed, and we still have to bring her food every day, and she's still picky. How long is the Emperor going to keep her locked up?"

Originally, it wasn't just those two unlucky guys.

It was supposed to be a shift system.

The other Dark Soldiers couldn't stand it and tried to leave through connections. The leader felt that guarding a weak human was unnecessary, so as the shifts continued, the names on the list became the two of them every day.

His companion comforted him, "Just bear with it a little longer. I heard that she will be sent on her way soon."

The thought that this person had little time left to live made the noise that echoed through the eleventh level of the underground sewer suddenly seem less unbearable.

On the bright side, tolerating the noise is better than being sent up to besiege the cute warriors.

At first, it was a highly coveted job.

However, I heard that the Emperor suddenly insisted on capturing a cute warrior alive.

Then it was said that a cute knight had infiltrated the area, and the emperor insisted on killing the cute knight.

The faint sound of the headmaster's magical incantation could be heard overhead, and the two of them instantly felt a sense of relief.

The fight has only been going on for a short while, and a golden opportunity to inflict heavy damage on Moe Academy has slipped away. The Emperor is sure to lose his temper and kill indiscriminately again.

Sure enough, the Emperor's roar and his companions' screams echoed from the depths once more.
