Everyone didn't pay too much attention to Takatsuki taking Seele to another world.
Of course, it wasn't because they didn't care, but because…
Everyone was captivated by Seele's transformed appearance.
"Wow, Seele is so beautiful."
Kiana stared blankly at Seele's transformed look, subconsciously wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth.
Bronya, however, looked utterly dejected.
"Seele no longer needs Bronya's protection... OTZ"
Seele quickly floated over and hugged Bronya: "Sister Bronya, no matter what Seele becomes, Seele is still Seele."
"Ah... Seele..."
Bronya, looking completely healed, hugged Seele tightly.
If not for the others pulling Bronya away, there's no telling how long that hug would have lasted.
When Seele stood by Theresa's window, looking at the girl lying on the bed who appeared even smaller than her.
"Um... is that child the Principal?"
Seele blinked, looking at the girl on the bed. Takatsuki immediately leaned in and whispered in her ear: "The Principal is already over forty years old this year."
"Eh?"
Seele looked at Theresa on the bed, utterly bewildered. This... over forty? Even fourteen would sound too old to me.
But Seele naturally didn't question Takatsuki's words. Instead, she focused her mind and raised her hands.
Abundant life force resonated within Theresa's room.
The power of Abundance was naturally more than enough to heal one Theresa, but if the power of Abundance was misused, it would become another kind of disaster.
Although it would still take nearly a thousand years to become Mara-Struck even for a long-lived species, Seele still controlled this power herself, not letting it overflow too much.
"This power, it's not Honkai Energy, nor is it magic?"
Fu Hua looked at Takatsuki. The power Seele was using was beyond any power she knew.
"Mm, yes, this is pure Imaginary Energy. The world I went to with Seele is similar to a parallel world to ours, except there's no Honkai Energy there. If there were no Honkai Energy, perhaps our world would be like that one."
As worlds on the same Imaginary Tree, there's no reason they shouldn't be able to utilize Imaginary Energy.
It's just that for some reason, the Original World of Honkai Energy 3 hasn't received the gaze of the Aeons. Perhaps the Imaginary Tree played a trick.
"This is some basic information about that world. You can take a look. Just stick it to your forehead to use it."
Takatsuki copied a Light Cone from his memory and handed it to Fu Hua.
"This is... memory?"
Fu Hua placed it on her forehead, read the information inside, and then opened her eyes.
"I see, Aeons, huh? But why are there no traces of them in our world? And I've never heard of Paths or anything like that."
"Class Monitor, Class Monitor, I want to see too."
Kiana hopped over, took the Light Cone from Fu Hua's hand, and stuck it to her forehead.
Soon, everyone learned about the information of that world from this Light Cone.
"Paths, huh? If possible, this power is indeed much safer than Honkai Energy."
Himeko put down the Light Cone in her hand and returned it to Takatsuki.
"But there's nothing we can do. This should be the Imaginary Tree's choice. The Aeons don't seem to be able to gaze upon this place. However, due to special reasons, Seele can still use that ability even here."
Takatsuki looked at Seele, who was treating Theresa. For the treatment of her own people, she naturally used the safest and most stable method, so Seele didn't heal Theresa in one go.
"It might also be due to crossing worlds. After all, my Blessing can't provide you with power across worlds."
Hestia suddenly spoke, her words leaving Takatsuki puzzled.
"No way? But when I was in other worlds, there was no effect at all."
Hestia: "Of course! Takatsuki-kun, you don't even look at what you took from me."
"Uh..."
Seeing the immediate gazes from everyone else, Takatsuki broke out in a cold sweat.
"Me? I didn't take anything..."
"Ha! Takatsuki-kun, are you trying to deny it now! That thing cost Hephaestus and me a great deal..."
"Wait!"
Seeing the increasingly dangerous looks from those around him, Takatsuki suddenly realized, mainly because Hestia mentioned Hephaestus.
"Hestia, are you talking about this sword?"
Takatsuki took out Hestia's Edge from his backpack. This was a true divine artifact, capable of easily harming the flesh generated from the Ambrosial Arbor fruit.
"That's right, what else? You know, to forge this sword, I paid a lot of divine blood. So, as long as Takatsuki-kun carries this sword, it's like I'm by your side, and it can maintain the effect of your Falna."
"So that's how it is. Thank you, Hestia. This sword has helped me a lot."
"Hehehe, as long as it helps Takatsuki-kun, that's great."
Seeing the sword Takatsuki took out, the others also withdrew their scrutinizing gazes, allowing Takatsuki to escape a predicament.
And while they were talking, Seele's treatment also concluded.
"Um, why hasn't Theresa woken up yet?"
Himeko asked, looking at Seele who had finished her work.
"Seele clearly finished the treatment completely, so is there still a part that wasn't healed?"
Seele looked at Theresa, who was still lying on the bed, with some confusion.
"Let me do it."
Hestia volunteered and ran to Theresa's bedside, then leaned over the bed frame and whispered softly into Theresa's ear: "Theresa, I've taken all the comics you hid under the bed~"
"No!"
Hestia activated her deception, and the effect was outstanding.
Theresa sat up from the bed in one swift motion and saw the circle of people gathered around her: "Why is everyone here?"
"Aunt, you're finally awake! You've been unconscious for a long time."
Kiana quickly hugged Theresa. Although she already knew her true identity, Kiana still regarded Theresa as her own family.
But Kiana's explanation was a jumble—Aeons one moment, Takatsuki the next, then Seele, then foxes—leaving Theresa completely bewildered about what was going on. Fortunately, Himeko explained from the side.
"Theresa, you've been unconscious for a long time. This time, Takatsuki brought Seele back, and she helped you wake up with her treatment."
"Takatsuki, huh? I was planning to give you a good scolding when you came back, running off by yourself like that. But since it's like this, I'll let it go."
Theresa struggled free from Kiana's embrace: "But still, thank you. And you, little girl, your name is Seele, right? I'm Theresa, the Principal of St. Freya Academy. Welcome to St. Freya Academy."
