Honkai Impact 3rd: My Days as a Captain in Schicksal

"Kiana, tell me where the first Honkai occurred." In class, Keng Huo said coldly.

"call……"

"Kiana... Kiana..." The girl next to me nervously nudged the white-haired girl who was sleeping soundly.

"Hehe, Mei, don't touch me here..." Kiana, who was having a wonderful dream, obviously couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.

"Kiana!" A furious roar echoed through the clouds, startling even the neighboring classes, but they quickly returned to their usual routine and continued with their lessons.

"Huh?! The Honkai Beasts are attacking?" Kiana looked up abruptly, meeting Keng Huo's furious face.

"Kiana! You're sleeping in my class again!" Keng Huo roared angrily.

"I couldn't sleep well last night because of you!" Kiana retorted without backing down, slamming her hand on the table and standing up, meeting Keng Huo's gaze head-on without yielding an inch.

Completely unaware that their classmates' gazes towards the two of them had begun to turn strange.

"These two really are in the relationship that's been rumored, right? Now the evidence is conclusive..." The girl in the front row whispered to the girl in the back.

"To do something like this at school..." The girl sitting in the corner looked at Keng Huo with a strange look in her eyes.

Upon hearing these discussions, Keng Huo's heart tightened immediately. How could these students have such vivid imaginations! Although Kiana's statement was also problematic... but... but it really was all Kiana's fault!

"What does Mei scolding you have to do with me! Answer my question! Which continent did the First Honkai Impact take place on?!" Despite his anger, Keng Huo clearly remembered that he absolutely couldn't reveal that he stole Himeko's greatsword to use for barbecue. Otherwise, given Himeko's popularity at school, he'd be in for a world of hurt by these students who idolized her mature, feminine charm. While seemingly refuting Kiana, Keng Huo was actually trying to curb the students' wild imaginations with this statement.

I truly am a genius; I resolved such a huge emergency with just one sentence… A sense of beauty welled up in my heart.

If it weren't for Kiana's shocking remark, Keng Huo's little scheme would have been flawless.

"I got scolded by Mei because of you!" Kiana's tone was unwavering. Although her words were just as terrible, she at least remembered not to mention stealing the sword. "And now you're turning on me?"

A sudden jolt went through Keng Huo's mind: It's over, everything's collapsed.

The students' expressions, which had just calmed down a bit, immediately turned strange and even excited again: "Just as I thought! I never imagined that Teacher Keng would be this kind of person..."

"Damn heterosexuals...damn life winners..."

"Could this be the legendary...love triangle?"

"What? Tell me quickly..."

Keng Huo's mind went blank. At that moment, he wished he could twist Kiana's head, which was about the size of a paramecium, off and kick it like a ball: "Kiana! You think you're right for sleeping in class?! Go stand at the back!"

"So what if I sleep in class! I helped you carry such heavy things yesterday, of course I'm tired! And I still got scolded by Mei! What right do you have to talk to me if you didn't do anything!" Kiana's temper flared up, and she openly challenged Keng Huo.

"Then answer me! On which continent did the First Honkai Impact occur?!"

"You!..." Kiana's eyes widened. "I'm not telling you!"

Keng Huo was almost laughing out of anger at this unreasonable guy, and even the students around him couldn't help but laugh, with some of them even starting to laugh.

Before Keng Huo could say another word, Kiana turned and walked to the back of the classroom.

"I'm not going to stoop to your level. I'll just stand here. It'll be good to wake up and refresh myself!" With that, she stood at the back of the classroom, her smug expression like that of a victorious general.

Keng Huo had a bellyful of words to say, but he couldn't utter a single one at this moment.

Meanwhile, his classmates were already laughing.

"Ahem, let's continue the lesson." Keng Huo turned around somewhat awkwardly and walked to the podium, trying to defuse the increasingly heated discussion among the students below.

"On this planet, disasters called 'Honkai' occur periodically. Whether it's the Black Death, tornadoes, or sudden earthquakes, they can all be manifestations of Honkai."

"Some beasts were even corrupted by the strange energy brought about by the Honkai, becoming powerful Honkai Beasts that feed on human flesh and blood."

"In the war against the Honkai that lasted for thousands of years, humanity gradually mastered the power to fight against the Honkai."

"That is, you, the students of St. Freya Academy, the future Valkyries."

The whispers in the classroom gradually subsided, and all the students listened attentively to Keng Huo's lecture, because this period of history was not only very serious for all mankind, but also of great significance to these reserve Valkyries.

Who told Keng Huo to specifically set aside this class to cover the key points for the final exam?

"【Honkai Antibody】, this magical substance has only a one in a million chance of appearing in a girl's body. In the very few people who possess the antibody, the antibody can even create tattoos with special patterns in their bodies."

"We call it the [Stigmata]."

"By using Stigmata, Valkyries possess the ability to control Honkai energy, thereby gaining powerful strength that surpasses human limits and allows them to directly confront Honkai Beasts."

"In the outside world, many illustrious figures in human history, such as Shakespeare, Li Dan, and Catherine, were all top-tier Valkyries who possessed holy marks. In their time, their names represented invincibility."

“Shakespeare? Isn’t that a playwright?” The freshmen were clearly in a state of shock. “And… wasn’t he a man?”

“That’s right,” Keng Huo smiled and looked at the girl. “Shakespeare did have a secondary job as a playwright, but her main job was a Valkyrie belonging to the British branch of the Destiny Organization. She was skilled in using the three elements of ice, fire and lightning to make magical attacks. It is a very, very rare fantasy-type stigma. Among all the stigmas that have existed so far, only three people’s stigmas can give Valkyries the power to manipulate elements. Shakespeare is one of them.”

After saying that, Keng Huo shrugged: "Out of the need to protect information about the Valkyrie, there are still some rumors circulating among the people. Besides, in that era, women's status was not like it is now."

"Unfortunately, we have not yet discovered the process and principle of the birth of natural stigmata. We can only obtain samples of Honkai antibodies from the bodies of the two families of the Destiny that produce warriors, the Kaslana and the Shaniat. After centuries of research, we have finally made a breakthrough in modern times."

"By injecting artificially synthesized Honkai antibodies into the bodies of young girls who have a certain affinity for Honkai energy, [artificial stigmata] are formed, making it possible to mass-produce Valkyries."

"Next, I will talk about the three most significant collapses in human history."

"The Honkai outbreak known as the 'First Honkai' occurred in 2717 BC. In the southern part of Asia on the continent of China, animals infected and mutated by Honkai energy appeared for the first time. They were the earliest Honkai Beasts. According to records, their body structure was unique, and they were beings that only cared about killing humans and did not consider their own survival."

"At that time, humans on the Shenzhou continent lived in tribal communities, and civilization gradually began to take shape. At this time, the Honkai occurred, and the tribes living on the Shenzhou land were attacked one after another by Honkai beasts from the [Nine Netherworlds]. With the technological capabilities of humans at that time, they were powerless to resist."

"At this moment, a mysterious girl named Ji Xuanyuan appeared. In the legends of the Divine Continent, she is known as the Yellow Emperor and is the first human recorded in history to possess the ability to fight against the Collapse."

"However, this mysterious girl appeared alone, and single-handedly eliminated all the Honkai Beasts that appeared. After that, she disappeared without a trace, and to this day, the Destiny Organization has not obtained any information about her whereabouts."

"The Second Honkai Impact occurred in 14th-century Europe, where Honkai Beasts reappeared and evolved to be even more powerful. However, by then, the Destiny organization had already taken shape in Europe, forming the Knights Order to fight against the Honkai and developing special weapons to combat the Honkai Beasts—that was the first time humanity gained the upper hand in the war against the Honkai."

"Because of the Honkai Beasts' incredibly powerful regenerative abilities, humans were unable to completely eliminate them at the time. They could only imprison and capture them after rendering them unable to fight. The captured Honkai Beasts were imprisoned in the basement of the cathedral at the European headquarters of the Destiny Organization."

"But the good times didn't last long. Humanity, which thought it had finally won, encountered an unprecedented crisis."

Keng Huo took a deep breath to calm herself down and continued, "This is the most important part. Underline it. You'll need it when you become official Valkyries and carry out missions."

"With the defeat of the Honkai Beasts, Honkai has turned to appear as a disease, the name of which I think you are very familiar with."

"The Black Death, a demon that swept across Europe and claimed the lives of 25 million people in six years."

“Researchers from the Destiny Organization wore raven masks and collected samples from all over the place for research.”

"The research results are shocking. They unanimously believe that the Honkai possess a certain degree of intelligence and may even have its own independent personality—or something similar to a personality. It is this possibility of 'intelligence' that leads the Honkai to choose to destroy humanity, and when one method fails, to switch to a new mode of outbreak."

"That concludes the Second Honkai Impact. Now, I'll discuss the topics that won't be on this exam."

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember what I just said after this exam, but I really hope that you can remember what I'm about to say."

"Three months ago, the energy level of the collapse that broke out in Changkong City was A-level 7, with a peak of 3710 standard energy indices and a trough of 2985 standard energy indices."

"Perhaps you don't quite understand the meaning of these data, so let me put it in a way that you can understand."

"Right here on the island in the far east, on the land beneath our feet, the Third Honkai Impact is about to occur! This A-level Honkai outbreak is just a harbinger."

"Now... it is a time of war. I hope you can study hard and learn what you can learn in this academy, and then survive."

"This is also the purpose of St. Freya Academy: to cultivate Valkyries who love their own lives as much as they love the lives of others."

"You are human beings first, and then Valkyries."

"get out of class dismissed."

How about a game of Honkai Impact 3rd?

As the bell rang, students left the classroom one after another, some going to the cafeteria and others back to their dormitories.

Aside from Keng Huo and Kiana.

The two were staring at each other in the classroom, both looking furious, as if they were both in the right.

"It's all your fault!" the two roared at the same time, drawing chatter from the students who had just left the classroom.

"Tch, there are too many people here, and to avoid some white-haired idiot with a negative IQ causing unnecessary chaos with his childish remarks, how about we change the location for our duel?" Keng Huo said with a sneer, arms crossed.

"Hmph, I'm just taking care of a weak man like you who can't even kill a chicken. Only a weakling like you would care about what others think." Kiana crossed her arms with a look of disdain, standing in the same posture as Keng Huo, as if she were a reflection in a mirror. "It's just a bunch of idle gossip."

"Oh? You don't care even if the classmates think we're in that kind of relationship?" Keng Huo's contempt was almost overwhelming as he looked down at Kiana with a disdainful gaze. Kiana also wanted to look down at Keng Huo from that angle, but unfortunately, her height didn't allow it; Keng Huo was at least a head taller than her.

So she took a different approach and leaned her body back, so that from her own perspective, it was no different from looking down at Keng Huo.

Although it looks very funny to outsiders.

"What do I have to be afraid of? I've already told you, only a weakling like you cares about the opinions of ordinary people." Kiana was very satisfied with her current posture, and a strange sense of superiority arose within her.

"Well, that's good then. Actually, I was a little worried..." Keng said leisurely, "I'm not afraid, after all, I don't have a girlfriend, so it's a sure win for others to make up rumors about me..."

"But what will Mei's reaction be if she hears this?"

Kiana's expression immediately changed: "No...it's impossible! My love for Mei is as clear as day and night, Mei would never believe such baseless rumors!"

"Oh...no reason at all?" Keng Huo, knowing he had Kiana cornered this round, appeared calm and collected. "It's just a rumor, what need is there for evidence? As long as the listener believes it, that's enough. Besides, what you said in class just now was so suggestive, believe me or not, you could hear three different versions of it within two hundred meters of you right now?"

"You...you're shameless!" Kiana roared in anger.

“A powerful figure like Miss Kiana would surely disdain such baseless rumors and gossip…” Keng Huo continued to slowly add fuel to the fire, “I admire you, I admire you.”

"Enough talk! Let's duel!" Kiana roared in fury.

“Fine,” Keng Huo said dismissively, “I’m not scared at all.”

"Help me up first!" Kiana's tone was a little urgent.

"Huh?" Keng Huo looked puzzled. "Why would I ask you to help me when you were standing perfectly fine? Are you trying to scam me? Dream on!"

"I...I've been in this position for too long, and I twisted my waist when I exerted myself just now...Can you help me up?" Kiana stood at a 45-degree angle with her head tilted back, laughing, with a mournful face.

“Kiana…” Keng Huo’s expression was somewhat complicated.

"What's wrong? Are you going to help him up or not?!"

"You're the dumbest idiot I've ever met," Keng Huo said sincerely, his face full of admiration.
