The light emanating from Judah was too dazzling. Everyone quickly covered their eyes, but at that moment, Ryn felt someone embrace him. He instinctively reached out and wrapped his arms around her.
Is that Kiana? Wait, why is Chest so big?!
Ryn pinched her to confirm it wasn't Kiana. He cautiously peeked open his eyes and then...
A pure and flawless beauty, her snow-white hair cascading down to her waist, adorned only by a few golden chains.
"Kallen! Why aren't you wearing any clothes?!" Ryn exclaimed in panic, then quickly withdrew his hand after two quick pats.
But as soon as he pulled his hand back, Kallen's chest was completely exposed again. Ryn couldn't let her be seen like that, so he reached out and touched her again.
Ryn's startled cry jolted everyone awake, and they witnessed him groping Kallen.
Wait, Kallen's still here!
"Pervert, die!" "Bastard, what are you doing to me?!" "I'm still here, you know!!!"
Theresa, Kallen, and Kiana leaped up in fury and aimed a flying kick at Ryn.
"What the hell! How are there two Kallens? I didn't mean to!" Ryn immediately raised his hands and shouted.
But their flying kicks never landed. Instead, the fake Kallen used chains to bind all three of them in midair. They were yanked down from the sky, bound together, and forced to kneel before Ryn and the fake Kallen.
"..." "..." "..."
Theresa, Kallen, and Kiana were still reeling from the shock when they found themselves kneeling before Ryn.
The fake Kallen remained silent, merely standing beside Ryn with the chains still in her grasp.
"Aaaah, not these chains again!" Kiana cried out in frustration. She had been bound by Theresa with these same chains at the hospital before.
Seeing the familiar chains around their bodies, both Kallen and Theresa were stunned.
"Judah?! Are you Judah?" Kallen asked tentatively.
"Noooo, my Judah—" Theresa wailed in sorrowful tears.
Kallen was already heartbroken when Judah abandoned her. Now, Judah had transformed into a beautiful girl who still looked exactly like Kallen! Even worse, her Judah had tied the three of them up for that bastard Ryn.
Judah maintained her cold, emotionless expression, but she nodded in response to Kallen's question.
"Judah, release me at once! That bastard Ryn just manhandled you! Shouldn't you be teaching him a lesson?!"
Theresa shouted at Judah to free them, but Judah remained completely unmoved, ignoring Theresa's pleas entirely.
Ryn finally took a closer look at the current Judah. Not only did she look exactly like Kallen, but her body shape was identical as well. The only differences seemed to be Judah's perpetually stern expression, compared to Kallen's frequent smile, and their eyes: Kallen's were ice-blue, while Judah's were golden-yellow.
As Ryn was studying Judah, Sparkle crept up behind him and viciously pinched his kidneys, causing him to wince in pain.
Before Ryn and Sparkle could exchange more than a few words, Sparkle was bound in a turtle-shell bondage and forced to kneel before Ryn.
"Uh... why can't I... use it anymore... I'm..." Before Sparkle could finish her sentence, she fainted.
Theresa and the others hadn't harmed Ryn, so Judah hadn't harmed them. But Sparkle had attacked right under Judah's nose and injured Ryn, which Judah couldn't accept. So Judah added a binding force to the chains restraining Sparkle, and her fragile body immediately collapsed.
"Sparkle!" Ryn rushed to help her, but found she couldn't do anything about Judah's chains. Using his Authority can harm Sparkle. Ryn could only shout at Judah.
"Release them, Judah!"
"As you wish."
Judah immediately retracted the chains binding them, then stood silently to the side, making no further move.
Mei carefully draped a blanket over Judah, then went to check on Sparkle.
After examining Sparkle, Ryn shook her head at the worried Mei and the others, signaling that there was nothing to worry about.
"It's nothing serious. Sparkle's Honkai Energy suddenly vanished, triggering a shock response that caused her to faint."
"Thank goodness..." Mei patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief.
"So what's going on now? Judah has turned into a beautiful girl, Kallen, and she's no longer obeying our orders," Kallen whispered to the group.
"According to Bronya's observations, Judah attacks anyone who tries to attack Ryn. Moreover, she now completely ignores her original master, Kallen, and the Principal's commands, only listening to Ryn," Bronya explained her analysis.
Theresa desperately wanted to punch Ryn, but she knew she couldn't defeat Judah. She could only glare at him fiercely.
However, Theresa might not realize how adorable she looks when she's angry. Her current fierce expression only makes her even cuter. Kiana couldn't resist pulling Theresa into a hug, burying her face in Theresa's cheek and slobbering all over her.
Hmm... Kiana is also a closet lolicon, even more serious than Mei. She's the type who could be easily lured away by a cute lolita photo.
"Though I'm not sure what's going on yet, someone must know..." Ryn said as he activated his Imaginary Space.
After feeling around inside for a moment, he pulled out a small figure—Cortana, who had fled the scene the moment she sensed something amiss.
"Hello there~ Cough, cough... system crash..." Cortana feigned death.
Things weren't going as she'd expected. For the sake of her own safety, she decided playing dead was the best option for now.
"Speak!" Kallen and Theresa glared at Cortana, their fists clenched and cracking ominously. "What did you do to my Judah?!"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Cortana raised her hands in surrender. "But promise you won't hit me later!
The Oath of Judah once resonated with Kallen Kaslana's will, giving rise to self-awareness. That's why Judah currently appears in Kallen's form...
Turning a weapon into a beautiful girl—a phenomenon I learned about from across the Sea called Divine Awakening—usually requires a mysterious artifact. However, due to Judah's unique nature, I wanted to see if it was possible without one.
The result? The Divine Awakening was a complete success.
But as everyone knows, Divine Keys choose their own masters. When I asked Ryn to infuse Judah with energy, Judah refused. So, I forcibly restrained it.
After Ryn's energy was forcibly injected, Judah was completely reshaped by Ryn's power, truly taking on Ryn's form in every sense of the word."
