Chapter 11: Destiny Intersection

arly the next morning, Kiana woke up eagerly, rubbing her hands with excitement.

"Luo Lin! Wake up! Let's go to school together!"

This was the reason for the little white-haired girl's excitement.

Today, Luo Lin was officially joining Senba Academy, and according to her, she happened to be in the same class as Kiana!

"I'm awake, making breakfast... Don't get so close; your hair might fall into the pot!"

Luo Lin nudged Kiana with her elbow, urging her to step back: "And this is a frying pan, be careful not to get splattered with oil!"

Listening to Luo Lin's words, the little white-haired girl reluctantly moved away and sat at the dining table.

Relieved, Luo Lin noticed that Kiana's excitement wasn't just focused on the bread in the pan; it seemed to be directed at her as well!

"Alright, here's your sandwich!"

"Wow! Thank you!"

Kiana grabbed the bread and stuffed it into her mouth, quickly finishing the first sandwich.

Fortunately, Luo Lin knew the little white-haired girl's appetite and made her three sandwiches, leaving one for herself as a snack.

After breakfast, Luo Lin retrieved the uniform of Senba Academy. Compared to the classic uniforms she had seen before, like the ones used at Chinese High Schools, this one was much more finely crafted, and it felt very comfortable to wear.

However, the skirt was a bit short, and Luo Lin tugged at the hem, feeling a bit chilly and insecure.

Together, they went downstairs, where Kiana pushed out her bicycle from under the awning and patted the back seat. "Come on! I'll take you to school!"

Luo Lin's mouth twitched, pointing to another bicycle beside them. "I got a second-hand one too! You just need to lead the way."

"Ah..."

Disappointed, Kiana got on her bike and led the way. They navigated through the city streets, with the little white-haired girl showing an impressive knowledge of the route to school. She even had time to explain which alleys they could cut through to save time.

Neither Kiana nor Luo Lin were ordinary individuals; they were both extremely fit. They made no stops on the way and soon arrived at the grand entrance of Senba Academy.

Luo Lin could see many well-dressed students entering the school gates, some riding bicycles like them, while many luxurious cars were temporarily parked on the side of the street, seemingly there to pick up students.

Senba Academy truly lived up to its reputation as an upscale private school. Luo Lin estimated the price of the string of luxury cars parked on the street, which could probably buy half of a Titan component from Anti Entropy.

Does that sound exaggerated? But Luo Lin knew it wasn't far from the truth; otherwise, why would there be rumors about Queenie nearly bankrupting Anti Entropy?

Luo Lin adjusted the white moon ring on her wrist. The disciplinary committee members at the entrance of the academy seemed unbothered by these accessories; after all, the students here were either wealthy or noble.

As long as it wasn't too outrageous...

One of the disciplinary committee members was shocked and stopped a student who was walking in with colorful hair. "Hey! Hold on! Why did you dye your hair all these colors?!"

"I lost a bet..."

The students who heard him speak showed respect, watching as the boy with colorful hair, his face red with embarrassment, was dragged into the office by the teacher.

As Kiana continued to ride her bike, Luo Lin followed behind, weaving through the streets of the city. It seemed the little white-haired girl knew the route to school very well, even explaining which alleys they could cut through to save time.

Kiana and Luo Lin were not ordinary people; they were both extremely capable in terms of physical fitness. They arrived at the designated bike parking area at the school, locked their bikes, and leisurely walked out.

"The guidance office and the teachers' offices are over there!"

"Okay, I'll go say hello to the teachers first, see you in class later!"

Kiana smiled and made a thumbs-up gesture.

Except for the incident where Luo Lin saw the boy with non-mainstream hair being covered with a black wig and leaving with a sad face, the rest of the process went smoothly.

Luo Lin met with her class teacher and was then introduced to her classmates.

"My name is Luo Lin, and I like beautiful things. Nice to meet you all!"

Luo Lin swallowed the phrase "fight for all the beauty in this world" that surged to her throat. She smiled and looked at the youthful students below, unable to help but sigh at the passage of time...

Perhaps the little rascals she taught in the orphanage in France had grown to be about the same age as them.

After sighing, Luo Lin was startled by her own thoughts.

Oh my, am I already used to being a teacher?!

Kiana watched from below, pointing to the empty seat next to her with a smile.

The teacher also noticed it and instructed Luo Lin to take the seat before continuing with today's lesson.

After class, as a transfer student, Luo Lin was naturally surrounded by everyone, bombarded with various questions.

Luo Lin smiled and exchanged words with her classmates. Somehow, she suddenly exuded a teacher's aura, causing the previously noisy voices to gradually lower until each became more refined and polite, and the atmosphere turned into that of an elegant tea party.

Kiana suddenly felt a chill. When others weren't paying attention, she nudged Luo Lin's back with her finger. "Be normal!"

The girl rolled her eyes at the white-haired one, realizing that when she communicated with these classmates, the inner peace and care for juniors she felt seemed to affect others.

So Luo Lin coughed and changed the topic to something that could liven up the mood, but it seemed to have little effect.

Clear footsteps approached from behind Luo Lin. She turned her head and saw the classmates who had surrounded her willingly making way for someone else.

It was a girl with a cold and somewhat proud demeanor, her long hair tied back in a ponytail. Even though she was wearing the standard uniform of Senba Academy, she couldn't hide her aristocratic aura. She stared at Luo Lin with sharp eyes.

Behind her, several people followed, forming a sizable entourage.

"I'm Raiden Mei." The girl spoke with a seemingly calm but internally proud tone, extending her hand. "Nice to meet you, Luo Lin."

"Ah! Nice to meet you!"

Luo Lin flashed a bright smile and shook her hand.

Raiden Mei nodded arrogantly, then turned and left, followed by a group of people.

Luo Lin noticed one of them gave her a disdainful look, mouthing something like...

"Ignorant"?

The girl chuckled softly and shook her head.

At that moment, Kiana leaned over and whispered in Luo Lin's ear,

"Raiden Mei, also known as the 'Thunder Queen,' heiress of the ME Corporation!

She's actually a good person, gentle in character, just a bit annoying with her entourage. Don't hold a grudge against her because of that!"

"Don't worry, I can tell."

Luo Lin patted Kiana's hand and asked, "But Kiana, how do you know she has a gentle character?"

The white-haired girl froze for a moment, then chuckled nervously. "Ahaha, just, you know, paying attention... a bit more..."

"I see. Seems like you've done some reconnaissance on the girl you're interested in, huh? Planning your moves ahead?"

Luo Lin patted Kiana's hand, which had unknowingly rested on her shoulder, and whispered, "It's time for class, let's focus..."

"Right, right."

Kiana nonchalantly returned to her seat, fidgeting with her pen, a strange smile on her face.

Luo Lin sighed and, with the help of the system, projected the textbooks from the Valkyrie Academy onto a panel invisible to others, pretending to diligently study the lessons. After all, reviewing old lessons was always beneficial!

The first day at Senba Academy passed uneventfully.

Returning home, Luo Lin placed the completed homework aside, summoned the system panel, and gazed at the flames burning in the display.

"The Second Eruption..."

"Let me see who's behind this..."

She pressed the button, her consciousness gradually sinking.

At the same moment Luo Lin pressed the button, in the Nagazora City International Airport, a girl with a backpack and a low ponytail stepped out of the building, looking at the serene night sky, adjusting her glasses.

"Location... Hmm, I better observe Luo Lin first..."

Fu Hua put away her personal terminal, flagged down a taxi in a hurry. She was anxious; she wasn't sure about the taxi prices in the Far East.

When she stopped to check the fare, her expression turned quite hilarious.

...

On the other side, Raiden Mei was tinkering with her bamboo longsword, practicing sword techniques in the spacious room.

"Transfer students who come to Senba Academy at this time... interesting, they don't seem to be ordinary characters..."

"Thud, thud I'm back!"

"Ah! Father!"

Raiden Mei quickly stood at attention, saluting her father, Raiden Ryoma.

"We're family; there's no need for that..."

"Yes..."

The man hung his clothes on a hanger and sighed, "Ah... Well, since I'm home today, does my Mei have any interesting stories to tell me?"

"Oh! Today, we had a transfer student in our class..."

"Transfer student?"

Raiden Ryoma raised his eyebrows, rubbing his chin, his eyes involuntarily sharpening, "Tell me more."

"Yes, father..."

A rare reunion between father and daughter became tense because of this small matter.

...

Finally, let's turn our attention back to Kiana.

The white-haired girl stared blankly at the homework on the table, as if her soul could escape her body at any moment.

"Completely... clueless..."

Kiana pulled her twin ponytails, feeling a bit frantic.

"Oh right! Luo Lin is from Shenzou! She seems like a studious kid; I remember she used to finish all the assigned homework at school!" The white-haired girl remembered something and clapped her hands joyfully.

"Now I don't have to worry about not copying anything!"

Solving this life's dilemma, Kiana relaxed, turned around, and threw herself onto the single bed, wrapped in a blanket, enjoying the cool breeze from the air conditioner.

"Huff, I'll take a nap first, then ask Luo Lin for the homework when I wake up..."

She squinted her eyes, a barely perceptible golden light flickering deep in her pupils.

"Zzzzzz..."

The bright moonlight illuminated the little white-haired girl's face, and after a few seconds, Kiana fell asleep.

"Mei... Luo Lin... mine... hehe..."

On this seemingly calm and sultry night, no one could have imagined that the destinies of several girls would gradually intertwine, stretching into a distant and unknown future...
