The other teachers and students at the Academy were unaware of Takatsuki's relationship with Mei and the others.
Moreover, Takatsuki also had the nominal duty of a teacher. After getting Himeko's permission, Takatsuki naturally successfully took Mei away.
Kiana tried to seize the opportunity to escape class, but was, of course, pressed back by Himeko.
"Takatsuki, has something happened?"
Mei followed Takatsuki outside the teaching building. Takatsuki checked the time on his phone, then sat down on a long bench in the garden and patted the empty seat beside him.
"Wait three more minutes, and then we'll go meet someone. Let's sit down first."
Takatsuki found people a bit too quickly; even after walking out of the teaching building, only seven minutes had passed.
He said ten minutes, so he wouldn't go early.
Mei nodded and didn't ask further. The two of them sat on the garden bench.
"Takatsuki, is Bronya really going to be okay?"
"Don't worry, we can go see Bronya when we go meet this person."
"Eh? Are we going to Anti-Entropy?"
Mei was a little surprised. She also knew the name Anti-Entropy. Through Takatsuki's introduction, she knew that Cocolia of Anti-Entropy was the culprit behind Changkong City. At that time, her impression of Anti-Entropy was very poor.
But after knowing that her father was also an Anti-Entropy Executor, her impression of Anti-Entropy changed somewhat.
After all, no matter where it is, there are internal struggles. Even if everyone is working to save the world, their actions are different.
So, when she learned that Bronya was leaving with Anti-Entropy's Leader, she was surprised but didn't say much, only hoping that this Anti-Entropy Leader, whom Takatsuki approved of, could change the radical faction's ways.
"Yes, it's almost time. Let's go."
Time passed quickly. Takatsuki watched the clock reach ten minutes and directly opened a portal to Yang's location in front of them.
An LV8 Nen was already ridiculously powerful, with a range that could cover a quarter of the Earth.
After one jump, the two went directly from the Far East Branch to Anti-Entropy headquarters in North America.
And ten minutes earlier on the other side…
After Welt Yang sent the message to Takatsuki, he looked at the message on his phone with the expression of an old man on a subway looking at his phone.
"Ten minutes… even with a location, that's too exaggerated."
Yang looked at the sky, roughly estimating the distance from Saint Freya to his location in his mind.
"Light speed?"'
Although he had doubts in his heart, he still went to a room and knocked on the door.
A middle-aged man with some stubble opened the door.
"Alliance Leader."
Ryoma greeted Welt Yang, who, despite being older, looked younger than him. He believed that he couldn't compare to the thirty-year-old looking Welt Yang in terms of seniority, status, or age.
"Ryoma, get ready. In ten minutes... no, in six minutes, a guest will arrive."
"A guest?"
Ryoma didn't expect Welt Yang to say this. He thought that he no longer had the value he once had for Anti-Entropy. Although his abilities were still there, his former status was completely gone, and it wasn't his turn to receive guests.
"Yes, he's a distinguished guest of Anti-Entropy, here to see you. Prepare yourself and then come to the reception room."
Ryoma nodded, but he couldn't imagine what kind of distinguished guest would specifically come to see him. Former business partners?
Unlikely. Since he went to prison, he had long since cut ties with those people. If those who knew about Honkai were called the 'underworld,' then everyone he knew in the underworld was from Anti-Entropy. Without a doubt, none of them were qualified to be called a 'distinguished guest' by the Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy.
"I wonder how Mei is doing now."
Ryoma, who had just been released from prison, had no idea about his daughter's situation. He naturally wouldn't directly ask his Alliance Leader about such a private matter.
After quickly shaving his stubble in the room and putting on a decent suit, Ryoma arrived at the headquarters' reception room.
At this time, only Welt Yang was in the reception room.
"Alliance Leader."
Ryoma greeted Welt Yang. Seeing that there was still one minute left, Ryoma asked, "Are we not going to greet the distinguished guest?"
"No need, just sit down first."
Welt said from his seat. In reality, he wasn't sure if he needed to greet him, as Anti-Entropy's headquarters was quite hidden. However, the item Takatsuki gave him had a positioning function.
Ryoma nodded and sat down on the sofa nearby.
One minute was neither long nor short. As the two sat on the sofa, a three-meter-high portal suddenly opened in the middle of the reception room.
"!!!"
"Who!"
Ryoma instinctively wanted to Stand up, but seeing Welt's actions, he restrained himself.
The power of the Herrscher of the Void?
Welt looked at the portal in front of him and thought, recalling Takatsuki's ability to conjure objects from thin air earlier. Welt was certain that Takatsuki was the Herrscher of the Void. It seemed that the other party, like him, had completely controlled the Herrscher Core. He just didn't know how he did it.
Meanwhile, Ryoma on the side didn't think of this.
Space technology?
As a scientist, Ryoma's first thought was this. Someone who could develop space technology could indeed be called a distinguished guest.
He instinctively straightened his back and looked at the portal.
Two seconds after the portal opened, a figure in a school uniform skirt walked out of the portal.
"Mei!"
Ryoma immediately stood up from the sofa.
Mei, who had just arrived at an unfamiliar place, was about to look around when she heard a familiar voice.
Turning her head with some trepidation, she saw that familiar figure.
"Dad!"
Mei didn't expect to see her father again.
At this moment, Takatsuki also walked out of the portal, and as he passed through it, the portal instantly closed.
"Go on, Mei."
The moment Mei saw Ryoma, she knew what Takatsuki had brought her here for.
"Thank you, Takatsuki."
Looking at the father and daughter embracing and weeping, Takatsuki looked at Welt Yang nearby and gestured outside.
Welt Yang nodded and left the reception room with Takatsuki.
"I didn't expect you to appear in such a way."
After coming out, Welt Yang immediately said, "Is this the authority of the Herrscher of the Void?"
"?"
Did the future Welt Yang not tell his current self?
Takatsuki was puzzled by Welt Yang's words, but then he didn't deny it: "How about it, isn't it impressive? This is your headquarters, right? Will Bronya study with you here from now on?"
"Yes, that's right, or perhaps at other branches."
"Oh, then, will Bronya go back to rest at night? That should be fine, right?"
Welt Yang was stunned, not expecting Takatsuki to say such a thing, but then he thought of Takatsuki's recent abilities.
"If you're picking her up and dropping her off, then of course it's no problem. But since you can come here directly through that thing, why did you have Bronya come with me?"
Takatsuki rolled his eyes: "Who knew Bronya would be so silly and run off by herself without a word?"
