Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Another teacher said your excuses for taking leave were too outrageous. What do you mean, "Jiuxiao had a car accident and I'm going to see him"... "Jiuxiao choked on his chicken leg and I'm going to see him"... Even more outrageous, you actually dared to say Siegfried died and you're going to see him off. You! You? You.

"Come on, have some water, rest a bit before you start yelling," Kiana handed Jiuxiao a glass of water. Although she looked guilty, her eyes seemed to say, "Go ahead and yell at me, I won't dare next time."

Chapter 23 How was I supposed to know it was PE class? I thought school was over.

In the end, Jiu Xiao didn't really scold or reprimand Kiana, since Kiana wouldn't listen anyway. Children of this age don't listen to their parents' teachings, and may even have a rebellious streak.

Kiana didn't do anything particularly bad; she just slept in class, skipped lessons, got into fights, and broke other people's arms and legs. Hmm... wait, perpetrators of school violence aren't considered human. Besides, the school hasn't said much, which means they condone Kiana's actions, so Kiana is just a sleepy kid. Don't ask, it's the juvenile protection law.

"Wait, what kind of trash school is this? How can they not do anything about such serious school violence?" Jiu Xiao wanted to go to the school right now and ask those lousy teachers how they were managing things.

Kiana nodded, agreeing with what Jiuxiao said, and then told Jiuxiao.

“The teachers tried to intervene, but it didn’t work. Every time they brought the perpetrator to the office for a talk, the perpetrator would only bully the victim even more severely next time.”

"That's why I hate little kids the most. They have no sense of guilt at all and derive pleasure from the suffering of others. And the perpetrators are always the top-tier ones, standing on the moral high ground, making it impossible to punish them." Jiu Xiao sighed helplessly. School violence is something that no world can escape. It's a flaw in human nature. After all, schools nowadays only teach knowledge but don't teach people to establish correct values ​​and morality.

Kiana, one foot on a chair and the other waving a baseball bat, laughed and said, "This world is sick; it's been crumbling in another form. But now it's ending, because I've arrived! The great savior of Chiba Academy has arrived!"

"Where did you learn all this? Kiana's little brain can come up with such cool things."

"Hehehe, you taught me well..."

"..."

--------

After that, everything continued as usual. Jiu Xiao played games, while Kiana slept in class and resorted to violence after class.

But as Stigmata said, do you believe in fate?

As if woven by the threads of fate, Kiana Kaslana still met that girl.

Just as there are bad students, there are also good students. The ace of Chiba Academy, the Queen of Lightning—Raiden Mei.

As the heiress of ME Company, Raiden Mei has lived a life of privilege since childhood. However, under the strict tutelage of Raiden Ryoma, she has developed a noble air that combines elegance, grace, maturity, and sensitivity. She is polite and courteous in her interactions with others, and has a caring nature.

Raiden Mei has long, straight black hair typical of Japanese girls, and deep black eyes. Mei often ties her hair back with a ribbon and a bow. Her appearance possesses a mature beauty beyond her years, but she is somewhat unapproachable, like a flower on a high mountain.

The perfect Raiden Mei is the object of countless boys' and girls' fantasies, and every day many boys from other schools and girls from her own school confess their love to her. However, in order to focus on her studies and to make those who confess to her give up completely, she uses extremely ruthless methods.

So fewer people confessed their feelings, but at some point, the title "Queen of Raiden" spread like wildfire. Raiden Mei didn't reject the title, perhaps because she felt it suited her well?

However, Kiana didn't care about all that. The moment she saw Raiden Mei, her heart pounded. The last time Kiana felt this way was when she was with Jiuxiao.

From the moment I saw Raiden Mei, I knew that this woman could be my mother!

"Hey, hello. My name is Kiana Kaslana, let's be friends!"

Kiana ran straight up to Raiden Mei, flashed her signature Kiana smile, and extended her hand to her.

"Hello, I am Raiden Mei."

Raiden Mei answered politely. She was a little startled by Kiana's sudden appearance, but her good upbringing made her appear not to be flustered.

After exchanging a few words, the two parted ways; they weren't in the same class. Although Kiana wanted to chat longer, Raiden Mei felt she was going to be late for class.

Raiden Mei didn't pay much attention to Kiana, simply assuming Kiana was someone who had heard of her name and wanted to get to know her. Raiden Mei was very popular in class; her classmates loved playing and joking around with her, and they would all gather with her at lunchtime, where she would share the bento boxes made by her family's maid.

Kiana, however, didn't see it that way. Raiden Mei was only her second friend in all this time; the first was Kurai Miyuki. The Nine Heavens weren't just friends, they were family.

As for why she has no friends... she either sleeps or skips class. Aside from knowing the teachers and where her seat is, she knows nothing else. She's even forgotten her grade and class; when Raiden Mei asked her before, she stammered for a long time before she could remember.

Oh dear, I must have left a bad impression on Mei. Oh well, at least I know Mei's class now, so I can go visit her later.

Kiana hummed the song she learned from Jiuxiao and skipped back to the classroom.

I'm in a good mood today, so I'll try to change myself and study hard!

zzz——

Kiana, Kiana, you can't keep going like this. Two classes have already passed; you must stay awake for the last two.

zzz——

Ah! School's over already? Looks like I studied too hard. I'll treat myself to a good meal when I get home, and keep up the good work tomorrow.

Kiana was startled awake by the school bell. Seeing everyone packing up, she assumed school was over and ran straight home. Not seeing Jiuxiao at the door, she ran home on her own.

Jiuxiao was building a data model with Cortana to simulate the game environment. Suddenly, a white furry ball attacked with a headbutt and crashed into his arms.

"Cortana, you can run the deduction on your own first. Kiana, I'm sorry, I was busy with work and forgot to pick you up." Jiuxiao patted Kiana's head and said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm Kiana Kaslana, I can get home by myself! I studied really hard today, time flew by, and school was over in the blink of an eye."

"Kiana actually studied hard! Thumbs up! You'll get an extra treat tonight!"

"Great!"

Kiana hugged Jiuxiao, jumping up and down happily. Just then, Cortana's humanoid projection walked over and said to Jiuxiao:

"Master, Kiana's teacher is calling you. Do you want to answer?"

"Oh, Kiana, have you gotten into trouble again?" Jiuxiao looked at the phone display on the projector in front of Cortana and vigorously rubbed Kiana's little face.

"No, absolutely not! I've been very well-behaved lately!" Kiana quickly waved her hand. They had all been scared of her lately and hadn't caused much trouble, so Kiana naturally wouldn't go looking for trouble either.

"Hello, teacher. I'm home. What's up?" "What? Kiana is missing!" "Okay, okay, I understand. Leave the rest to me. You don't need to look for her. Thank you for your help."

Jiuxiao's face grew darker and darker as the phone call went on, and finally he grabbed Kiana, who was trying to escape after realizing something was wrong.

"You idiot, did you sleep too long? How did you sneak back after just one PE class? The teachers have been looking for you like crazy."

"Hey... I thought school was over when I saw them packing their things..."

"Hey, you idiot..."

Chapter 24 Colorless Glowing Flame

Time flew by, and soon it was 2013.

Jiuxiao finally completed the development of "Kallen Sakura Dies Twice". On the day of its official release, the world learned the name of Jiuxiao and people also rediscovered the relationship between Kallen, Otto and Yae Sakura.

Otto was particularly happy that day and personally invited Jiuxiao to dinner. During the dinner, he also mentioned that he was preparing to customize an A-rank Valkyrie armor for Jiuxiao, but he requested that some research be conducted on Jiuxiao's Stigmata.

After consulting with the Stigmata's consciousness, Jiuxiao did not refuse Otto. She couldn't refuse the offer of the A-rank Valkyrie armor; it was already one of Schicksal's most advanced technological achievements.

Although Schicksal possesses S-class Valkyrie armor, most of it consists of relics from a previous civilization unearthed from ruins, and Otto is still researching and modifying it. However, it's rumored that a prototype fourth-generation Valkyrie armor is already in development, but Otto certainly wouldn't give it to him for no reason.

After all, Schicksal currently only has three S-class Valkyries: a teenage girl, Otto's granddaughter Theresa, and another unknown hidden figure. Even they haven't been equipped with fourth-generation Valkyrie armor yet, so it's even less likely that Otto would give it to them.

(One is Durandal, who acquired the Holy Sword in 2012 and changed her name to Bianca Durandal Atagina. Theresa refused the S-rank Valkyrie coronation ceremony, but she is still recognized as an S-rank. The other, unknown to many, is the sleeping Li Sushang.)

After completing the development of "Kallen Sakura Dies Twice", Jiuxiao planned to strike while the iron was hot and continue developing "Honkai Alliance". However, after discussing with Otto, they decided to change the name to "Houmu Alliance" because all information related to Honkai in this era was controlled by Schicksal, and now was not the time for people to know about Honkai.

Kiana was having a great time at school, making many friends including Raiden Mei, Miyuki Kurai, Shiru, and Kagashira. However, she still slept like a log in class, barely absorbing anything.

Kiana often invited Colorless Blaze and Raiden Mei to her home, and over time, Jiuxiao became quite familiar with them. Jiuxiao wasn't very close to Raiden Mei, but he had a good relationship with Blaze.

Kaguya has red pupils, a doll-like face, and long black hair that reaches her calves, with dark red inner strands and a small tuft of bangs on her forehead. She wears an off-the-shoulder dress that is predominantly white with red and black accents, tied in two sections with a red daimen-style ribbon at the back, and white furisode kimonos for the sleeves.

She wore a dark brown pleated mini-skirt, a white knee-high sock on her right leg, and a short sock on her left, paired with wooden clogs. There was a kind of asymmetrical beauty to it all.

Illustration.

Huihuo has a particular fondness for desserts, bordering on an obsessive-compulsive obsession. Knowing this, Kiana often teases Huihuo with sweets. The first time Kiana brought Huihuo to her home, she tricked her by saying she had lots of delicious sweets. To avoid upsetting Huihuo, she even had Cortana expedite the purchase and delivery to her home.

Huihuo has a very lazy personality. He doesn't compete or fight for anything and is the kind of person who will just lie down wherever he falls.

Kiana first met Huihuo at a dessert shop outside. Because the desserts at this shop were particularly delicious, many people bought them.

Huihuo was queuing to buy donuts, but she hadn't gotten her turn even after waiting for a long time. Because it was a school, everyone knew each other. Often, if someone they knew was ahead in line, they would simply call their friend behind them to cut in line.

Huihuo didn't say much; she was too lazy to argue. As a result, she waited a long time before it was her turn, and by then they were all sold out. Huihuo was a little frustrated. She had already done more exercise queuing today, but in the end, she hadn't bought anything and was exhausted.

Just then, a white fluffy ball appeared in front of her, smiling as she handed herself a donut, while also carrying a large bag in her arms.

"Here you go. You've been waiting in line for so long, you must really like donuts."

Huihuo took the donut and glanced at Kiana. With her sharp tongue, she retorted.

"Hmph, minding your own business..."

"Then don't eat it, give it back to me." Kiana didn't tolerate her and snatched the donut back from her hand.

Huihuo comes from a declining family, but she is still a young lady. This is the first time she has met someone like Kiana who directly snatches back what was given to someone else, and she is so anxious that she is almost in tears.

"Give me..."

Hui was desperate; she felt like she'd die without sweets. But unfortunately, with her terrible physical condition and being a shut-in, even Kiana couldn't reach the donuts, no matter how hard she tried.

Kiana, seeing that Huihu was about to cry, seemed to have discovered something and decided to tease Huihu.

"Say thank you, Lady Kiana, and I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, Lady Kiana, for giving it to me."

Hui Huo wasn't embarrassed at all; after all, she might even kill a god for sweets. Well, that is, provided she had some ranged weapons. In melee combat, the opponent would be begging for mercy in less than three seconds.
