"Ah, you... I..." Theresa was at a loss for words and couldn't form a complete sentence for quite some time.
In the end, she could only stomp on Luo Mo's foot in frustration and walk away with gritted teeth, causing him to exclaim, "Ahh!"
"Okay, okay, the act is over," Kallen said with a muffled chuckle, secretly covering her mouth as she smiled. She found her granddaughter's reaction rather amusing, and the situation at St. Freya's Academy had been adequately explained.
Kallen took a moment to compose herself, her serious blue eyes focused on the young Valkyrie in front of her, Kiana.
Kiana's reports were a frequent sight on her desk – a constant since the girl was born, and even more so since the release of Honkai Impact 3rd.
Of course, this is more out of concern for the younger generation.
"Kiana, do you feel anything abnormal now?"
"Abnormal...?"" Kiana touched the back of her head, looked at her ancestor, who grew up listening to it, and said with a giggle, "If you want to say it's abnormal, I'm extremely hungry now; does that count?"
"Oh, Lord Bishop, I'm really hungry now. I feel like I can hold my nose and drink even my aunt's bitter melon juice."
"Kiana ~, you don't think I can't control you after becoming a Herrscher, do you?" Theresa said,
Sadly She didn't expect that her own niece would come to make trouble for her.
How could she bear this?
Luo Mo chimed in with a mischievous Smile. "Besides, don't forget there's a whole program designed just for Herrschers like you!"
"Huh? They have classes for Herrschers too?" Kiana looked surprised.
"That's not all, Kiana; there are a few more courses you need to learn," Mei added, placing a hand on Kiana's shoulder, A humorous expression crossed her face as she spoke.
Although it was not a good idea to think so, the knowledge of electromagnetism she learned every day made her really feel haggard, and Kiana was still playing around.
She thought about this more than once.
Would it be better if Kiana and I also studied together? ~
"Wait, what?! Seriously? Do I get a refund on this core or something?" Kiana's eyes widened in dismay. The idea of even more studying felt like a punishment, The original study task was already heavy enough, so she had to learn one more subject.
Damn it, is it too late for me, Kiana, to regret it?
"Obviously, that's not going to work."
Luo Mo nodded and blocked Kiana's last path.
He tilted his head, thought for a moment, and chuckled. "Hey, on the bright side Kiana, maybe you'll get to use the Judgment of Shamash 'Suicide'... sorry, sorry, the Judgment of Shamash zeroth power Might of An-Utu!"
The moment the words "Judgment of Shamash 'Suicide'" left his lips, the room seemed to shift.
Kallen pressed her temples, a headache forming – that was an accurate description, but a terrible one.
The Kaslana's had seen too much sacrifice; the last thing they needed was jokes about their ancestral weapon.
Better to change the subject and stop listening to his nonsense.
Kiana's eyes lit up. She'd been itching to try out that massive sword, especially after hearing all the stories about it.
"So, what's the next game about?"
Kallen asked the question out of simple curiosity. Her mind was already drifting back to all the paperwork waiting for her at headquarters.
The matter with Cheng Lixue seemed settled, and she had no intention of pushing things further.
"Oh, I know this one!" Kiana chirped, remembering the sneak peek she had gotten. "It's all about the legendary strategist, Kongming!"
"... Kongming?"
Kallen looked at Kongming, who had her head lowered and covered her face with a fan, wondering what she was thinking.
The names were identical, after all.
Considering what happened Luna Kindred story at that time, that is to say, will the other person's story follow next?
"Well, then," Kallen said, a touch of anticipation in her voice, "I'll be looking forward to it."
...
During the afternoon self-study period, the class known for its exceptional students and high standards set by the entire school was supposed to cater to each individual's strengths and provide tailored learning experiences.
Kiana once wondered why she learned like a normal person.
Now, staring down at her textbook, she finally understood.
"Ugh, this is so frustrating," she groaned, throwing her hands up in the air. "I might be a little slow, but come on! Why do I still have to learn all this stuff?"
Kiana felt a throbbing headache coming on. Suddenly, she slumped forward onto the stack of books on her desk, her head colliding with the table with a dull thump.
The topmost book was a brand-new textbook titled "Fundamentals of Thermodynamics."
Who would have thought that not only would she have to attend classes immediately upon returning, but in the blink of an eye, the class monitor Fu Hua had already placed a fresh textbook on her desk?
No, this was happening way too fast!
Was Fu Hua really that efficient? Kiana wasn't prepared for this at all.
"Stop complaining, Kiana; start studying; think on the bright side; at least, your books are not as many as Bronya's."
Bronya on the side said without any fluctuations in her voice, but those who are really familiar with her will feel the smile and gloating in her voice.
Kiana has also become a Herrscher, and she can finally feel the pain of learning.
I didn't expect you would be here today, Kiana.
This is really awesome! The weight of knowledge is so heavy.
Compared to Kiana, her books are obviously thicker and thicker.
but so what? we will walk through this hell together hahaha
"No, something's not right here..." Kiana sat up straight, a determined frown on her face. "These books appeared way too quickly. It's like there's some evil mastermind behind all this!" She glared at the textbooks like they were her sworn enemies, ripping open the packaging with a flourish.
The rapid flipping of pages was her futile attempt to vent her frustration.
But barely fifteen minutes later, she slumped back down with a defeated groan. "Ughhh, just kill me now. Being a Herrscher is no excuse for this torture!"
Kiana was half lying in the smell of books, looking sideways at Mei, who was reading a book with glasses on, and suddenly felt that Mei with glasses also had a very good temperament.
It perfectly shields the sense of oppression caused by the two horns and is different from simple gentleness.
The glasses brought not only quietness but also cold and scrutinizing questions, which inexplicably made Kiana want to see Mei blush like this.
"Hm?" Mei pushed her glasses up, sensing a pair of eyes on her. She glanced over curiously.
Upon seeing Kiana's dejected state, she offered an encouraging smile before diving back into the vast ocean of knowledge before her.
"So, why does being a Herrscher mean you have to study this stuff? As long as you don't go around attacking people, why do Herrschers need all these lessons?" Kiana grumbled in despair, kicking her legs out and accidentally striking the chair in front of her, causing its occupant to turn around.
Fu Hua turned around, ready to lecture Kiana, but Kiana squeezed her eyes shut and braced herself for the scolding. It was all so predictable...
Suddenly, a muffled voice rose above the classroom chatter: "Let this world be destroyed."
The words tickled Kiana's memory – where had she heard that before?
She glanced across the room and spotted a flash of purple hair and a familiar scowl.
She looked back and said, Well, it's the second sister; she's an idiot.
"Ahem——, Sirin? What's wrong?"
Himeko didn't know when she appeared on the podium, and she might have been listening for a while.
She glared at Kiana, who immediately picked up the book and read it intently, without even realizing that the book was overturned. Then she walked slowly towards Sirin, but her expression didn't seem to be very worried.
To talk about why, if she was still prepared to treat the opponent the first time, it was because Herrscher's personality had awakened, and if it happened once a day, it seemed like that.
"Teacher, I don't know how! I really can't understand this math problem."
Sirin said loudly, "Who knows how troublesome spatial ability is and why there is so much to learn?"
If advanced math made her want to ditch her Herrscher core entirely, she couldn't even imagine what came next.
Her powers weren't improving, and it felt like they were just throwing problems at her for the sake of torture, Imaginary number theory was hard enough, but apparently, it was just the beginning...
I made a mistake; please punish me instead of asking me to continue reading Advance Math book.
If she were really asked to start over and pray again, she would want to go to a world with a mother and no high math.
"Sirin, study hard; you can do it."
"Sirin, keep at it. You'll get there." Himeko's encouragement felt weak, but Sirin forced a smile. Then Himeko's eyes widened as an idea struck her.
"Actually, your sister Kiana could use some extra study time too..."
"No worries, teacher," Sirin cut in, a surge of confidence washing over her.
A flicker of defiance sparked in her eyes.
Just two more hours until freedom! That thought alone was enough to fuel her through the rest of the day.
Himeko stood up and glanced at Sirin with complicated eyes. The Second Herrscher, who had caused huge disasters in the past, was now having a headache and learning advanced mathematics. She suddenly felt so disconnected from history.
It was as if legendary tales described a brutal warrior, only for that warrior to show up at your door...in a fluffy tutu, singing nursery rhymes.
Okay, it's time to explain Kiana's problem.
She cleared her throat and looked around the classroom. Except for Kiana, who was holding her books upside down, everyone was studying.
They were all her outstanding students.
Unfortunately, they were all Herrschers.
Himeko felt a little emotional. Only class monitor Fu Hua could give her some comfort, and there were so few normal students left.
"Now, about those textbooks Kiana mentioned. The whole 'Herrschers are the enemy of mankind' thing? Yeah, that's being revised this year." Himeko paused, a wry smile playing on her lips.
"Don't think I need to explain why, especially not in this classroom. Speaking of which, in addition to standard courses, you all have the option of selecting an elective..."
Himeko reached the end of her carefully prepared speech, and zeroed in on Kiana with a sigh.
"...And then there's Kiana."
The pointer tapped against the board as she continued. Seele, bless her diligent heart, was scribbling notes furiously. No surprise that Kiana, on the other hand, looked completely lost.
"Ah? " She raised her head blankly.
"Alright Kiana, why don't you read us a short paragraph from that book you're holding?" Himeko's question was laced with a hint of mischief.
"Um, sure! I mean, this, uh..." Kiana's confidence quickly faded as her eyes darted across the page.
Panic set in - why were these words gibberish? does being a herrscher scrambled her brain?
Mei stifled a giggle. "Kiana, you might want to...ah, flip your book over," she murmured.
Kiana immediately went bright red, quickly fumbling with the book.
"Kiana..." Himeko's voice held a teasing lilt. "Looks like someone's a little out of it today..."
Seele tried to be helpful. "Perhaps Kiana-san is still a bit tired from the mission?" (my angel)
...
"Ellie, why do you seem to be in a good mood?" Eden took a sip of her tea cup and asked the girl in front of her.
It was obvious that Elysia had been waiting for this question for a long time.
Elysia smiled softly and spoke out the lyrics in her heart.
Oh, there's nothing I can do about it, It would be embarrassing if she always took the initiative to say it.
"Because today I saw the birth of something I like again ~ I'm looking forward to it! ♪ "
"Just like the spring breeze meets the rain and dew, the earth puts on new clothes. I am indeed very happy today ♪. Moreover, Luo Mo is also very honest this time. "
" Oh? Because he clearly said it was about the plot is knife plot?."
Eden looked at her friend in front of her with a smile, and when she saw the other person's happy look, she felt inexplicably in a good mood.
As for what she liked, Elysia didn't want to talk about it, so she had no intention of asking.
"Yes! It's always nice when someone finally tells the truth...though I did give him a playful little shove before I left, just for old times' sake." Elysia Smile, a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
"But those plot twists won't get me this time! I'm ready for whatever he throws at me - I've learned my lesson."
"Speaking of, should we make this a watch party? Maybe invite a few others?" Eden paused, a thoughtful look crossing her face.
"Actually, let's make it more fun! How about we pick two random Flame-Chasers who wander downstairs? That way, it'll be a surprise for everyone!"
...
Luo Mo winced and rubbed his back, sucking in a sharp breath. Seriously, he was going to remember that punch!
He'd promised a playful kick, and instead got a solid hit.
Elysia could be ruthless when she wanted to be.
As for the reason for the plot, Luo Mo said that he told the truth this time, so there should be no big problem in future(at least for Elysia).
But after being injured, he naturally had to lazy hard (read it as Recovery time), so this time, he wanted to go home and see!
Anyway, the plot of "Kongming" has already been produced. At most, it's just dubbing polish.
But he thought about it and realized there was no need to give up just because of this delay.
…
New Character 'Kongming' fragments were obtained during this dairy activity and watch new event Trailer.
[Something is wrong; something is very wrong.]
[For the character fragments, i just gave Lament of the Fallen a five-star rating for give me free new battle-suit, and now it's a familiar scene again.]
[The knife is shining brightly; it doesn't matter. Ha-ha, let me try the knife! S-level, I'm determined to eat the knife for free new S-level!]
That's right, regarding the acquisition of fragments, Luo Mo's setting is to log in plus watch and praise three activities, for a total of four-character fragments.
Other fragments were in new event, player need to play finish the event first to get other fragment.
Hahaha~
He worked hard to earn a lot Crystal with less money for company, but he also wanted to turn everyone into pawns.
Only those who have experienced the joy of being a crewmember will understand; Luo Mo firmly believes in it.
…
The story began abruptly, and the meaning was a bit muddled at first.
The opening scene felt familiar – a slightly faded, yellowish room that brought back memories.
The pink and blue-haired twins sat on the bed, gazing down at you.
"Liliya, Liliya! Look, he's finally awake!" one of the girls chirped.
This trick, the beautiful girl waking you up – it was the same scene players had witnessed three times in the previous chapter.
It was clear this time the story was picking up right where the last one left off.
Suddenly, Rita appeared – the maid, or was she more like the Prime Minister of the Huang Empire? She gestured towards the curtain, a hint in her eyes that she wanted a private word.
Then it changed… the Pirate Federation, and there was Himeko… but you weren't her comrade. You were tied down, a helpless hostage, forced to look up at her as their leader.
Before that, there was the quest for the sword in the stone. Fu Hua, the King of Heroes, standing strong, and that watchful angel behind her.
"Familiar... nostalgic? Wait, "
"Obviously, it was just an experience not long ago; why?"
Your head pounded, a wave of pain, yet you couldn't stop piecing it together.
There wasn't much else you could do anyway.
There are also some scenes that have never been experienced before, and players are confused. They are from another wonderful adventure.
The spirit of the Fountain lives alone in the desert pyramid.
Woman who stepped into the Jedi alone just to find the whereabouts of her sister?
A powerful witch casting a freezing spell, transforming the battlefield into a wasteland of ice, all to seal away a terrible evil...
"Hmph, have you finally remembered?" The girl holding the feather fan said, with two maids behind her, one on the left and one on the right.
Yes, he remembered.
forcibly transported to a certain "fragment of the world" by unknown means.
A fierce battle raged between three nations, all desperate to claim the ancient ruins said to hold the legendary wishing machine. You had finally harnessed its power, but for your own reasons, you hadn't wished to escape this world.
Then Rita, the Huang Empire's prime minister, revealed a secret: the first generation of sage kings had used the machine to become immortal. Maybe there was still hope for you.
You uncovered a mysterious diagram, but it seemed something had gone wrong. In the desperate attempt to save you, Sage King Kongming had been caught in the chaos and was pulled into another world entirely.
"Because, for some reason, when I see you, I always think of an old friend unconsciously."
The girl chuckled with melancholy and concern.
But that's it; the memories are over.
But the memories faded as quickly as they came. Your vision blurred, then slowly sharpened, revealing new surroundings.
"Ha...huh...Ms. Kongming..." You struggled to breathe, finding the girl in front of you strangely familiar, yet something felt off.
A voice echoed in her mind, a stark reminder: she was not Kongming.
