My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Kiana looked at the towering giant and wanted to run away, but her body wouldn't obey her and she stood still, watching helplessly as the flaming blade came crashing down on her.

Just as the long sword was about to strike, Kiana woke up from her dream and sat up in bed.

Sweat soaked the girl's pajamas, Kiana's bangs stuck to her forehead, and the sheets were also damp with sweat.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and even though the window was closed and the temperature was comfortable, Kiana still felt a chill.

It took Kiana a while to come to her senses. She curled up into a ball, still feeling a bit scared, with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Honestly, that stinky Luo Chen, he even bullies me in my dreams."

Kiana wiped away her tears, changed her clothes, composed herself, went downstairs, greeted Mei, and silently sat down to drink her porridge.

Kiana, what's wrong?

Mei sensed that Kiana was acting strangely. Usually, Kiana would have a smiling face before breakfast, but now she had a bitter expression and seemed to be thinking about something.

Are you sick?

Mei touched Kiana's forehead with her hand, feeling her body temperature.

"No. I just had a nightmare."

Kiana shook her head in denial, silently finished her breakfast, packed her schoolbag, and sat on the sofa waiting for the others.

"What's wrong with Kiana? Even a nightmare wouldn't cause this, would it?"

Yuno looked at Mei, who shook her head. Then Yuno looked at Bronya, who also shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing.

"Should Mei go and ask?"

Looking at Kiana's depressed state, Yuno felt that it was more than just a nightmare.

"Okay, I'll ask when I get to the school."

Kiana remained silent throughout the journey, which made the others traveling with her quite uncomfortable.

Upon arriving in the classroom, Kiana confirmed that Luo Chen's attention was not on her, so she quickly rushed to her seat, picked up her books, and covered her face.

"Kiana, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Kiana's erratic behavior, Luo Chen leaned closer and asked.

"No, it's nothing."

Recalling the knife wound in her dream and the horrific sight Luo Chen had left Kiana speechless. She put down her book and turned her head away, refusing to look at Luo Chen.

"Are you sure? I feel like you're acting a little different than usual."

"No, you must be mistaken."

Kiana lightly punched Luo Chen's shoulder, pouting as if she was angry, which reassured Luo Chen.

"That's more like it, you should smile more."

"Okay, go back quickly."

"Alright, Miss."

Luo Chen returned to his seat and chatted with Mei. Kiana looked at Luo Chen's profile and couldn't help but recall the scene in her dream. Her right hand unconsciously touched her neck.

When class started, Himeko walked into the classroom right on time, looked at the quiet class, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, the Valkyrie assessment will be held tomorrow. I won't say anything more, just do your best. Let's begin class now."

Because the exam venue needed to be set up in advance, Theresa gave all the students a half-day off.

After finishing his morning classes, Luo Chen grabbed his bag, said goodbye to Mei, and ran out, leaving the whole class looking completely bewildered.

"Mei, where is Luo Chen going?"

A girl sitting near Mei came over and asked her, "Luo Chen usually walks with Mei and the others."

"The dean had to meet with him and left first."

Although that's what Luo Chen told her, she always felt there was something fishy going on, but Luo Chen had already run away, so it wasn't appropriate for her to follow him and find out the truth.

Luo Chen went straight to Theresa's office. He was also curious as to why Theresa had come to see him and why she had asked to come over as soon as get out of class ended.

Pushing open the door, Luo Chen saw Rita Bianca and Himeko, who had just come from the office, sitting on the sofa. All three pairs of eyes were looking at him, making him feel a little awkward.

"Hi everyone."

"Xiao Chen, you're here."

Theresa placed her hands on the table, lowered her head slightly, covered the lower half of her face with her hands, and tried to make a serious expression.

"Aunt Theresa, what do you want from me?"

Luo Chen sensed something was off. He thought back to the fact that he hadn't done anything wrong recently, so why was Theresa making that expression?

"Don't be nervous, we just want to discuss something with you."

Chapter 106 is now in chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) time!

On St. Freya's training ground, all the students stood neatly, waiting for Theresa to speak from the podium.

"Ahem, hello everyone, students of St. Freya. Today is our academy's annual Valkyrie assessment, and I'm sure you've all made ample preparations. Before the assessment begins, I'd like to introduce two people to you."

Theresa took a step back, while Rita and Bianca stepped forward to meet the gazes of the audience.

"Wow! It's Lady Durandal and Lady Rita!"

The students in the first row had already seen the two when they came on stage, and they were all talking about it. Some of them even opened a barbershop.

"Ah! Lady Durandal, you're so handsome! Ah, I'm dead!"

"Lady Rita, I am your Xiu Gou!"

"Can you please stop acting crazy? I'm clearly Rita-sama's dog!"

Himeko, standing behind Theresa, looked utterly helpless, as if the academy was beyond saving.

Standing at the back of the line, Luo Chen vaguely heard the outrageous remarks of the people in front and covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing out loud. However, he soon found himself caught in the middle of the drama.

"By the way, where's Luo Chen? Where did it go while Lady Durandal was on stage?"

"It seems to be in the back, and Mei and Yuno are there too."

"Oh! I can sense the air of gossip."

Bianca, who was on stage, heard their whispers and searched for Luo Chen in the back row. Sure enough, she saw Mei and Yuno next to him.

"Mei, look, Bianca is looking this way."

"Yes, I did look over here."

"No, I'm going to cause trouble!"

Yuno beckoned to Bianca with an excited look on her face, a mocking expression on her lips.

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Theresa cleared her throat to quiet the people below, and at the same time looked at Yuno with her eyes to signal her to stop making a fuss.

"I won't waste any more time on small talk. Now it's time for the exam. Everyone, give it your all and show headquarters our true abilities!"

"This round of assessment will be conducted in pairs. Your opponents may be Honkai Beasts, assassins, or even fellow students from your cohort. The examiners will score you based on your performance, so good luck everyone."

"Is this the competition format?"

Kiana was surprised by the assessment system and looked at Luo Chen, who seemed to be doing nothing, wondering who she would run into.

Theresa returned to her seat and said to Himeko beside her, "Himeko, isn't the surprise we prepared a bit too big?"

"I think it's okay."

Himeko crossed her arms, looking at Luo Chen yawning below, and smiled with satisfaction: "That kid is still yawning. He probably played games all night last night."

"But the person he faced in the first match was really unfortunate."

Theresa silently prayed for the unfortunate man, while also wondering who it could be.

As the identities of the participants were gradually confirmed, Kiana unsurprisingly ran into Bronya, Mei faced off against Lilith, and Luo Chen himself unexpectedly encountered Yuno. This made Luo Chen suspect that there must be something fishy going on.

"It can't be such a coincidence."

Looking at Yuno, whose face was ashen, Luo Chen patted her back with concern and assured her that he would go easy on her.

"let it go."

Yuno shook her head in refusal. She took the assessment very seriously and didn't want to just coast through it.

"Alright then, I'll go easy on you later."

The two came to the stage. Yuno held the naginata and didn't dare to be careless for a second, for fear that she would be kicked out by Luo Chen if she wasn't careful.

Luo Chen took out the Earthly Treasury Soul, and his movements of drawing the bow and shooting an arrow were fluid and graceful.

Yuno raised her hand and summoned vines to precisely catch the arrow, then dragged her naginata and slashed upwards at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen dodged to the side and lashed out at Yuno with a whip kick, which she blocked with vines as well.

Yuno brandished her naginata with wide, sweeping movements, surrounded by black mist, preventing Luo Chen from getting close.

"If you won't let me get close, then I'll come from afar."

Luo Chen took a few steps back, his hands flashing with lightning, his hair flying wildly with the lightning, and his whole body filled with blue light.
