Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Spare Keys
Hearing this, Fu Hua frowned and looked at Ivana, "You used Herrscher authority on ordinary people?"
"Just a teeny bit~"
Ivana made a "just a little bit" hand gesture, "Anyway, St. Freya Academy is so big, adding one more transfer student from Shenzhou doesn't matter. If something really goes wrong, worst case, I'll just go all out and modify the consciousness of everyone in St. Freya Academy."
After confirming Ivana had really used her ability, Fu Hua's expression instantly became serious.
"Ivana, abusing Herrscher authority could potentially bring uncontrollable consequences to this world, it might even be like the former Flame-Chasers Project…"
"Okay, okay~" Ivana waved her hand and interrupted Fu Hua, "It was just an emergency. I'll try my best to avoid using Herrscher authority in the future…"
Speaking to this point, Ivana silently added in her heart, 'Of course, as long as no one finds out I used my authority, then that means I didn't use it.'
Looking at Fu Hua still earnestly trying to advise her, Ivana couldn't help but complain inwardly, 'Old fossil is just old fossil, after all these years, still so rigid and inflexible.'
'If it were me and Van spending tens of thousands of years together, whether it's the things we should do or the things we shouldn't, probably all would've been done by now…' But thinking again, Ivana felt she was being a bit nosy.
Even the old fossil herself isn't anxious, why should she be? Anyway, she's not like those women constantly fighting over Van's ownership.
In Ivana's view, her feelings for Van seemed like romantic affection on the surface, but in reality, were more like family love.
What she really wanted was simply to be together with Van, that alone was enough.
As for how many emotional debts Van owed in the past, and how many women would be around him in the future… those had nothing to do with Ivana.
On the other side, seeing Ivana admit her mistake, Fu Hua didn't pursue the matter further.
Then, Fu Hua suddenly seemed to remember something. Her cheeks turned rosy, and she glanced away as she softly said, "By the way, Ivana… In public places, could you stop calling me… that title…"
Fu Hua's girlish demeanor immediately stirred Ivana's mischievous spirit. She blinked her big sparkling eyes, putting on an innocent look.
"Why not~ Could it be you don't like the title 'Mom'?"
"D-Don't call me that!" Fu Hua replied shyly.
"It's just… just that… the impression isn't too good…" Fu Hua's voice got softer and softer, eventually as faint as a mosquito.
In response, Ivana outwardly agreed enthusiastically, saying "Okay, okay, okay," but inside, she was beaming with joy.
'You don't let me call you that when nothing's going on, so I guess that means I can call you that when something's going on?'
As the three of them arrived back at the dormitory entrance, they saw a graceful figure in purple quietly standing there, seemingly waiting for a long time.
Their laughter and chatter instantly drew her attention.
The four of them encountered each other like this in the narrow corridor.
After making eye contact, Van noticed that although Raiden Mei's face wore her usual gentle smile, there were faint flashes of lightning hidden in her eyes.
On the other side, looking at the three people in front of her who resembled "a family of three," Raiden Mei couldn't help but feel a wave of defeat. But she quickly composed herself.
Just as she was about to speak, Ivana beat her to it, "Mei, hello there~"
As she said this, Ivana stepped forward and enthusiastically extended her hand toward Raiden Mei.
"I'm Ivana, currently also the Herrscher of Consciousness. Please take care of me from now on~"
Ivana's energetic smile made Raiden Mei freeze for a second. Because in Ivana's brilliant smile, she seemed to catch a glimpse of Kiana's shadow.
Affected by Ivana's warmth, Raiden Mei's expression softened back into her usual gentleness. "Hello, Ivana. Please take care of me as well."
Off to the side, Van, seeing how easily Ivana resolved the awkward situation, quietly gave her a thumbs up in his heart.
'Ivana, well done, worthy of being the god-tier teammate I acknowledge.'
Van really didn't expect that the one once known as the "three-year-old troublemaker Ivana" had now faintly developed the qualities of a social expert.
After all, with the aid of the Herrscher of Consciousness's authority, unless it was deep-seated hatred, Ivana's appearance generally wouldn't provoke others' dislike.
Meanwhile, while everyone exchanged pleasantries.
Fu Hua had already silently opened the door and welcomed everyone inside, faintly giving off the vibe of a hostess.
Seeing this scene, Ivana teased Fu Hua, "Old fossil, how come you have a key to Van's house? Don't tell me your relationship's already progressed that far?"
As soon as Ivana said this, a burst of sparks and lightning instantly flared up around Raiden Mei, while Fu Hua's face turned crimson.
As for Van, he looked at Ivana with a totally dumbfounded expression.
'Ivana! I just praised you for being a god-tier teammate, and now you pull this on me? Could it be… you're the legendary teammate with dual personalities of angel and devil?!'
Seeing Van's bewildered look at her, Ivana's face instantly bloomed into a joyous grin.
'As expected, coming to Van's side is the most important decision I've made in this life. So much fun to watch, it's really delightful!'
Though she was enjoying it, Ivana still understood social cues. Therefore, when she noticed Raiden Mei's mood wasn't right, Ivana naturally decided to... continue fanning the flames...
"If you ask me, Van, you might as well give everyone a key~"
Ivana said with a cheeky smile, "After all, everyone here has shared life-and-death experiences with you. Giving each of them a spare key isn't too much, right?"
'You little brat, so this is how you want to play it? You say we have life-and-death experiences? Sounds more like you're trying to end my life!'
Truly worthy of the great Herrscher of Consciousness, achieving what ordinary people couldn't do with a single sentence.
Just one line made the expressions of the three others shift dramatically. Except for Van.
Fu Hua also looked at Ivana in shock, her confused gaze seemingly saying, 'Aren't you on my side?!'
Here, Van was about to say something, but a soft cough from the side interrupted him.
Turning his head toward the sound, Van saw Raiden Mei speaking shyly, "About the spare key… isn't that kind of… inappropriate?"
Though that's what Raiden Mei said, her eyes were locked tightly on Van, and her meaning was obvious.
Under Raiden Mei's burning gaze, Van could only pull out a bunch of spare keys from a drawer and hand one to Raiden Mei.
After receiving the key, Raiden Mei's mood instantly brightened.
Then she politely said, "Please take care of me in the future. Of course… if there's nothing urgent, I won't disturb you suddenly…"
After that, Van immediately called everyone to the living room, afraid more chaos might happen.
But unexpectedly, this troublemaker Ivana opened her mouth again, "By the way, usually people only have two or three spare keys at most, but Van, how come your spare keys are counted by the bunch?
Could it be that you're planning to distribute them all, one by one, to… mmph mmph mmph..."
Before Ivana could finish, Van quickly covered her mouth and dragged her into the living room.
