——The immortal who has protected Shenzhou for thousands of years.
Anyone who knows a little about the history of Shenzhou can recognize the existence of this figure.
At some point in the past, Einstein even conducted a special investigation into the existence of this immortal.
Unfortunately, the investigation yielded no results.
This led Einstein and the others to believe that the so-called immortal had died long ago—
Or that the so-called immortal was nothing more than a fabrication, much like the legend of King Arthur in England.
"I didn't expect to see the real person today."
Einstein looked at Fu Hua with some emotion.
This Shenzhou immortal turned out to be a pioneer left over from the previous era.
It made sense that he could protect Shenzhou from destruction for thousands of years.
"Let's talk about feelings later."
Reaching out and knocking on Kiana's head as she played a prank on the side, Mei adjusted her glasses and spoke slowly.
"The most urgent thing is to get the correct answer."
"The content of this question focuses on the greatest threat during Bronya's journey—not the threats in the Sea of Quanta."
"Although the two are not vastly different, I think you should understand the distinction between the former and the latter."
Mei spoke slowly.
Off to the side, Kiana watched Mei speak gracefully to Einstein, her eyes flashing with joy and complexity.
Back in Nagazora City, Mei had seemed so… ordinary.
But after this not-so-long period of time, Mei had transformed from an ordinary cook into a super cook and a wise woman.
Having witnessed these changes, Kiana was sincerely happy for her.
But at the same time, she couldn't help feeling a bit discouraged.
Mei had changed so much.
But what about me?
Aside from the slight change in mood after watching the last lesson video, her combat experience and skills had only improved thanks to the efforts of Fu Hua and Himeko.
Everything else was basically the same.
Kiana lowered her head slightly and clenched her fist in silence.
She...was little unwilling.
...
During this time, Enstein have discussed the answer to the question with Mei.
"The option we discussed is A."
After announcing the answer, Mei focused her attention on Bronya.
"Bronya, this question is for you to answer."
Since it was about Bronya saving Seele, it was only natural for Bronya to be the one to answer.
Einstein naturally had no objections to this.
Bronya, without asking why, accepted the answer that Mei and the others had discussed.
"Bronya chooses A!"
Bronya made her choice under the gazes of everyone.
A short while later—
[Error]
Seeing this result, Mei and Einstein, who had discussed the answer, frowned.
Then, the correct answer was revealed:
[Correct answer: B. Attention from the pioneers]
After seeing the answer, Einstein glanced at Mei helplessly and sighed.
"I should have listened to you."
In the earlier discussion, Mei had insisted on choosing answer B. If they had followed Mei's choice, they would have gotten it right.
Mei shook her head slightly at Einstein's words.
"There's nothing to regret. After all, your answer was more convincing than my guess, wasn't it?"
Whoever makes the most sense, we follow them. It's always been that way.
"Rather than dwelling on this mistake, I think we should focus on the information revealed by the answer."
A glint flashed across the lenses of her glasses, and Mei's eyes were filled with solemnity.
The pioneers, like Fu Hua, were survivors from the previous era.
And as the question title suggests, the attention of this unknown pioneer will become the greatest threat to Bronya during her mission to rescue Seele.
Having experienced Fu Hua's strength firsthand, Mei placed this unknown pioneer on the same level as Fu Hua—no, even higher.
After all, according to Fu Hua, she had been seriously injured, and her current strength was only a tenth of what it used to be.
In response to Mei's concerns, Einstein calmly replied.
"Dr. Tesla and I will investigate this later."
Tesla was somewhat dissatisfied with Einstein's habit of making decisions on her behalf
"Hey, Mophead, take care of the work you volunteered for yourself! Don't drag me into it!"
"Huh?" Einstein tilted her head slightly and stared at Tesla with her usual, somewhat disinterested expression.
Mei also glanced at Tesla.
Under the weight of both gazes, Tesla quickly caved in.
[3. In order to rescue Seele, under the guidance of Joachim, Bronya successfully found the core of the Herrscher of Reason hidden somewhere in the Sea of Quanta and inherited Yang's will, becoming the third acting Herrscher of Reason. ]
[Question: Which of the following Honkai Beasts obstructed Bronya from obtaining the core of the Herrscher of Reason?]
[A. Benares]
[B. Chiyou]
[C. Tlaloc]
[D. Janna]
Looking at the new question, Einstein showed no signs of surprise.
After learning that Bronya became the Herrscher of Reason, she had already guessed most of it.
But she hadn't expected it to happen in the Sea of Quanta.
The Leader should still have been hiding at St. Freya Academy teaching.
And Bronya obtained the core in the Sea of Quanta and inherited the will.
So that means—something must have happened to make the Leader go to the Sea of Quanta.
Wait, was it that one...?
Since they already knew that Bronya would become a Herrscher, the people of St. Freya weren't too surprised by the question.
The only strange part was—
"Can a status like being a Herrscher be passed down?"
Theresa was a bit curious. It was the first time she had heard that a Herrscher could have a first and second generation.
"Well… because of its special nature, the core of the Herrscher of Reason has the ability to be inherited. As for other Herrschers, I'm not sure if they can be passed down."
Tesla carelessly revealed this detail about the Herrscher of Thunder.
Einstein was somewhat helpless, but said nothing.
After all, at this point, St. Freya Academy was worthy of their trust.
So sharing this information wasn't a big deal.
"As for this question, the Honkai Beasts mentioned in the books..."
Mei was a little confused. She had recently read many reference books, but few focused on Honkai Beasts. At most, she recognized the more common ones recorded in the Schicksal Library.
Of the options, Mei only recognized Benares from option A.
"Rule out option B."
Fu Hua suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention.
Then, she quietly shared what she knew:
"Chiyou is a Judgment-level Honkai Beast that appeared in Shenzhou thousands of years ago."
Fu Hua didn't say anything more—mainly because she had forgotten the rest.
However, this brief information was enough for Mei and the others to eliminate Chiyou as the correct answer.
How could a Honkai Beast from Shenzhou appear in the Sea of Quanta?
With Chiyou excluded, Mei and the others were left with two choices:
[C. Tlaloc] and [D. Janna]
