Honkai Impact, I'm not a Ditto!

St. Freya Academy is located on a small island in the far east.

Moreover, in the center of the lake, the only connection between the academy and the outside world is a large bridge. Ordinary people cannot even get close to the bridge. The surrounding lake water is the best protective barrier, completely isolating the Valkyries of St. Freya Academy from ordinary people.

Perhaps it's because I got up early.

So as he walked, Sikong saw the Crimson Iris Immortal jogging in the morning.

Fu Hua, dressed in sportswear, had a white towel draped around her neck to wipe away sweat. Although the exercise didn't make her sweat, she still wore it.

perhaps......

There must be some little secret hidden behind this.

"Squad Leader Fu Hua is up so early to exercise again today."

Sikong greeted her, and Fu Hua, who was jogging in the morning, stopped and said, "The early bird catches the worm. Getting up early to exercise is good for your health. Do you want to run with me?"

Sikong's brain, having accepted Fu Hua's invitation, began to function.

"Raven said he would send an undercover agent to monitor me. I can't tell if that's true or not, but based on my previous wanderings, I didn't find anyone following me at all."

Neither last night nor today did Sikong notice anything unusual.

He considered that the reason might be his own lack of strength.

However, the Crimson Iris Immortal is different. She is very powerful, and if someone is following her, Fu Hua will definitely find out.

So Sikong agreed to go for a run with Fu Hua.

"It's been a while since I've gone for a morning run, Squad Leader Fu Hua, let me keep you company."

"it is good."

Fu Hua nodded, and the two began jogging slowly around the entire St. Freya Academy.

The speed wasn't fast, but I felt pretty good running and breathing in the fresh air.

After running around for a few laps, the Crimson Iris Immortal did not find anything unusual.

This put Sikong at ease. It seemed that no one was following him for the time being. Perhaps the World Serpent's order had not yet been issued, or perhaps the other party was just observing from a distance to grasp his general movements.

Morning run complete.

Sikong and Fu Hua were taking a walk together at St. Freya Academy.

"This morning run reminded me of the time when our class monitor, Fu Hua, lived across from me. We used to go to and from school like this all the time. It's really something to miss."

Sikong said as he walked.

"Sikong, if you can become an A-level Destiny Knight, you can also move into the faculty and staff dormitory."

Fu Hua remained calm.

Having witnessed too many partings and deaths, this brief time together would not stir any emotion in the Crimson Kite Immortal.

"A-rank Destiny Knight... Squad Leader Fu Hua really thinks highly of me. Major Himeko made me a B-rank Destiny Knight, which I already found difficult, let alone A-rank."

Compared to Himeko Murata, the threshold for becoming the Red-Oriole Sage is much higher.

With just a few words, he made Sikong an A-rank Destiny Knight.

“That’s not difficult.” Fu Hua gave Sikong a deep look. “A few days ago, I learned from the academy director that after headquarters studied your experimental data, they felt that your body was very suitable for implanting the Tranquility Gem.”

"Cough..." Sikong almost choked on his own saliva. "Squad Leader Fu Hua, what did you say? Implanting the Tranquility Gem?"

After the previous civilization was destroyed.

A portion of the Honkai God's power was sealed on the moon, and this power was transformed into four gems.

Modern civilization.

The four gems were brought down from the moon by the Second Herrscher, Sirin.

In history class, Sikong learned about the existence of four gems. He believed that if one could obtain even one and master its power, one could possess strength comparable to a Herrscher.

Raiden Mei currently possesses the Conqueror Gem, one of the four gems, within her body.

The Tranquility Gem represents the power of the Herrscher of Death, whose abilities are creation and decay, or decomposition and creation.

"Yes," Fu Hua asked, "Are you willing?"

"I need to think about it."

Sikong didn't agree on a whim; he needed to consider more things.

"There's no rush. Tell me when you've made your decision, and I'll take you to see the Dean."

The daytime passed slowly.

Sikong visited St. Freya Academy several times.

It's euphemistically called "scouting."

He actually went sightseeing. The scenery here was quite nice and beautiful. While strolling around, he was thinking about the Tranquil Gem.

That evening, Sikong went to Himeko Murata's house for a free meal.

I went shopping in the city yesterday.

Raiden Mei had invited Sikong before, and everyone had bought a lot of fresh ingredients to hold a celebration party tonight to celebrate the group's success in passing the Valkyrie exam.

The proposer was Himeko Murata.

The participants included Raiden Mei, Bronya, and Shiku.

Kiana, who failed the test, was not included in the celebration list.

If Himeko Murata hadn't gone to a party yesterday, this celebration party would have been held yesterday.

It wouldn't have dragged on until today at all.

"I'm full, I'm full... Mei's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Kiana, sitting in the chair, patted her slightly bulging belly without any regard for her image.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Thoughts

"This wasn't supposed to be a victory celebration for Kiana, but that idiot Kiana still ate the most..."

Bronya said expressionlessly.

"What do you mean it wasn't a celebration banquet prepared for me? I'm sure I'll pass this make-up exam. Don't underestimate me, Bronya. I just had my own celebration banquet in advance."

Kiana and Bronya started arguing again.

Sikong did not get involved.

After learning about the Tranquility Gem from Fu Hua.

This man often fell into a deep thought and was always absent-minded while eating.

"I was thinking of sneaking into the dean's office before, but now that we're on good terms, there's no need to sneak in at all."

"I can go see Theresa if I agree to have the Tranquility Gem implanted."

"Although I have special abilities, isn't it a bit strange to implant gems into me so quickly? Is there a trap?"

Sikong thought about it carefully and felt that even if there was a trap, there was no need to go to such great lengths and give a negative option.

Judging from Fu Hua's tone this morning.

Sikong knew he could refuse.

This gemstone implantation program is not mandatory.

"Currently, only the World Serpent Organization should know that I am related to a creature that can substitute for me. Other organizations are unaware of this, and they don't even know that such creatures exist. Therefore, we can basically rule out conspiracy theories."

"However, the World Serpent Organization's mission is a bit unusual. Did they know I was nominated to have the Tranquility Gem implanted, which would allow me to meet Theresa, and that's why they gave me this mission?"

Sikong was unsure, but he had asked Crossing Raven what to do yesterday, and the gray-haired lady's answer was quite simple—"Find a way yourself."

After thinking for a long time, Sikong concluded that the World Serpent was unaware of this.

"Why is Sikong spacing out again? Is it because my cooking isn't good?" Raiden Mei's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Since yesterday, she had been constantly spacing out, which worried the cook. "Or has something happened?"

After thinking for a moment, Raiden Mei asked the only man present.

"Sikong, is the food to your liking today?"

Come back to your senses.

Before Sikong could speak, Kiana interjected, "Mei's cooking is absolutely delicious, don't you agree?"

The beautiful girl with white hair and blue eyes stared at the man, as if she would pounce on him and cover his mouth the moment he said a negative word.

"Yes, that's true."

Sikong nodded in agreement.

Raiden Mei's cooking is delicious, but he has a lot to think about, and even if he tries to force his thoughts away, he can't completely get rid of them.

"I see. Has everyone eaten their fill?"

Bronya, your stomach is bloated.

......

"Now that everyone has eaten, could you please wash the dishes, Mr. Sikong?"

The cook's statement was met with unanimous agreement.

Himeko Murata, blushing, shouted while holding a beer can, "That's right! Mei has been busy for so long, she should take a break. Shiku, go wash the dishes! Show some responsibility as a man!"

After drinking, the red-haired mature woman was like a delicate rose, and her words became even more bold.

Bronya agrees.

The girl with no connections or income was talking while playing a game with her head down.

Judging from the slight dark lines under her eyes, Sikong could guess that Bronya had been playing games like crazy these past two days.

"Go quickly, go quickly!"

Kiana shooed Sikong away like she was swatting flies.

"Okay, don't rush me. It's just washing dishes. It's a piece of cake for me. I'll make sure they're clean in no time. You guys can rest now."
