Instead...home?
Gaspar hesitated for a long time, then, with all his might, he stretched out his pale little hand and placed it on Zhou Ye's hand.
"I...I'll participate..."
Her voice, still as faint as a whisper, was no longer filled with fear, but rather with a trembling hint of new life.
Chapter 226 Gaspar's Major Transformation Plan
The automatic upload from the stove's backend is a nightmare; it's all in Japanese and it even makes mistakes.
----split line----
Rias, standing to the side, watched as her "bishop," who had just mustered a little courage, was easily coaxed into submission by Zhou Ye with a few words, and her feelings were extremely complicated.
She stepped forward, pulled Gaspar up from the ground, and shielded him behind her, watching Zhou Ye warily.
"Ye, what are you planning to do now?"
“It’s not what I do, it’s what she wants to do.” Zhou Ye stood up, dusted off his pants, and said, “Three days from now, the enemy won’t show any mercy just because she’s a socially awkward homebody.”
"Her [Evil Eye to Stop the World] is an area-of-effect ability. If it gets out of control, the first to suffer will be our own people. I don't want to be caught in the middle of a heated battle with someone else and get frozen by being betrayed by my own people."
Zhou Ye's words were direct and realistic.
Cang Naxi pushed up his glasses, indicating his agreement: "Zhou Yejun is right. Gasparvaldi's power is a double-edged sword. Before putting it into actual combat, it must undergo high-intensity adaptive training."
“But three days is too short…” Li-Yas looked troubled.
Gaspar's social anxiety is a psychological problem that has accumulated over many years. How could it possibly be cured in three days?
"Who said we only have three days?"
Zhou Ye gave a mysterious smile.
He snapped his fingers.
Snapped.
In the center of the activity room, the space was torn apart once again.
But this time, instead of a communication screen, what appeared was a square door emitting a soft white light.
Inside the door was a strange, pure white space with no visible boundaries.
“This is…” Rias and Sona’s pupils contracted simultaneously.
They could sense that the spatial laws behind that door were completely different from those of the outside world.
"The House of Time and Spirit".
Zhou Ye explained succinctly.
"Time flows differently inside than outside. A year inside is equivalent to only one day outside. You all trained inside, how could you forget everything in such a short time?"
boom!
The recent impact of Zhou Ye has been so great that Rias and the other girls have forgotten about this leveling and cultivation artifact.
He turned to the vampire girl who was already terrified.
“Gaspar, for the next three days, you will undergo hellish rehabilitation training inside.”
"Hellish...?" Gaspar's legs started to go weak again.
“That’s right.” A devilish smile appeared on Zhou Ye’s face.
"But don't worry, I have tailored a scientific, efficient and humane rehabilitation plan for you."
He cleared his throat and began announcing the training content.
"Phase 1: [Self-affirmation]. Every day, look in the mirror and shout a hundred times that I am the best vampire, I am super brave, and if my voice is not loud enough, I will not get any food."
"Phase Two: [Relaxation Training]. I will use various methods to make you tense, such as playing horror movies in your ear or putting fake snakes on your bed. You must calm yourself down within three seconds by taking deep breaths. If you can't, I will give you an electric shock."
"Electric...electric shock?" Gaspar's face turned pale.
"The third stage: [Cognitive Reconstruction]. I will have you read a lot of shonen manga and wish-fulfillment novels so that you will understand that a character like you, as long as he gets out of the shadows, can become an invincible being like Long Aotian."
“Phase Four: Low-Stress Social Training.” Zhou Ye’s smile became even more amiable. “I will arrange for everyone in the department to take turns going in and chatting with you.”
"Of course, to make the conversations more interesting, there are themes. For example, discussing the compatibility of the Holy Sword and the Demon Sword with Kiba Yuuto, discussing the direct correlation between the calories in sweets and combat power with Toujou Shiroe, and discussing with Himejima Akeno..."
Zhou Ye paused, glancing at Zhu Nai, who was laughing hysterically.
"Discuss how to effectively punish disobedient juniors."
Himejima Akeno's smile deepened: "Oh my, this is my specialty."
Gaspar was on the verge of tears.
This isn't low-stress socializing! This is public execution!
"Finally, and most importantly, [live-fire drills]." Zhou Ye's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.
"Inside, I will simulate all kinds of enemies. What you need to do is to use your power accurately and effectively with the cooperation of your teammates."
“Every success comes with a reward. For example, a rare model or figurine, a current season's anime Blu-ray, or... an autographed photo of a popular voice actor.”
Zhou Ye waved his hand, and from somewhere produced a signed board with the name "Minase Inori".
Gaspar's eyes widened instantly.
That...that's her favorite voice actor!
"Of course, if we fail..." Zhou Ye changed the subject, "the punishment is to confiscate all your home-related items."
"do not want!"
Gaspar let out a heart-wrenching scream.
That would be worse than killing her!
"Very good, it seems you are very motivated." Zhou Ye nodded in satisfaction.
He looked at Rias: "Minister, no objections, right? For the sake of your most important family member, and so that we can have one less useless teammate in three days."
What else could Rias say?
She looked at Zhou Ye's training plans, which sounded unbelievable but, upon closer inspection, seemed to make some sense, and could only nod helplessly.
"Then... I'll leave it to you, Ye."
"rest assured."
Zhou Ye grabbed Gaspar by the back of his collar, as if he were picking up a kitten.
"Go in, your new life begins today."
"Wait...wait! I'll be scared if I'm alone!" Gaspar struggled.
“Who said you were alone?” Zhou Ye turned around and looked at the others in the activity room.
"You've been chosen as our sparring partners for the first day."
His finger pointed at Toujou Shiroto and Kiba Yuto.
Tajiro Shiraine remained expressionless, silently taking a chocolate bar out of her pocket.
Yuto Kiba smiled gently and said, "It's my pleasure."
"No! No!"
Amid Gaspar's desperate cries, Zhou Ye, carrying her, along with Bai Yin and You Dou, walked through the pure white door.
The door slowly closed.
Inside the event room, only Rias, Sona, and Akeno Himejima remained.
"Rias, aren't you worried?" Sona asked, looking at the vanished door.
"What are you worried about?" Rias smiled wryly. "Are you worried that Gaspar will be ruined by him?"
"Given Zhou Yejun's style of doing things, it's very likely."
“What can we do?” Rias sighed and sat back down on the sofa. “Once that man makes up his mind, no one can change it. And… he’s right.”
"I have always been too protective of them, treating them like family, but I forgot that they are first and foremost warriors."
A look of relief and resolve appeared on Rias's face.
"Perhaps it's time for them to truly grow up. Having Zhou Ye, this unconventional guy, as their instructor might... produce unexpected results."
Akeno Himejima walked behind Rias and gently massaged her shoulders.
"Minister, don't worry."
Her breath was sweet and fragrant, her voice alluring.
"Although Ye likes to tease people, he knows his limits."
"and……"
"Being personally trained by him is an honor that many people would rather die for."
"Maybe by the time Gaspar comes out, he'll have become a qualified, masochistic vampire who will surprise us all."
“Akane!” Rias blushed at her words.
But deep down, she couldn't help but start to look forward to it.
three days later.
What will Gaspardraud become after emerging from that "House of Time and Spirit"?
And what kind of magnificent stage will the "performance" Zhou Ye mentioned be?
Chapter 227 The Old Demon King's Faction in Action
The underworld, a distorted dimensional rift somewhere.
There is no light, no sound, and no stable matter here.
Only chaotic energy turbulence and fragmented space remained, like a pot of boiling, highly poisonous soup.
