Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

Page 186

Please pay attention to discipline and integrity during the exam. I'm saying this for your own good. I'm here to proctor the exam not to make things difficult for you, but to protect you.

Yes, you're already juniors. If you get disciplined at this point, it'll be very difficult to get it removed. Remember not to cheat. Um, Kevin, I think you heard me too.

Melutina stood on the podium, her gaze sweeping from Mebius, who had finished answering and was fast asleep in the first row, all the way down to Alicia in the last row, who was using a pencil with ABCD markings to divine the options.

She silently flipped through the test paper...

Yes, they're all simple answers.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I have something to do later. Can I hand in my paper first?"

A quiet girl with a black ponytail handed over the test paper, adjusted her glasses, and said...

"Okay, Mei, you can go now... While you're at it, could you please collect Möbius's test paper? Her drool is practically dripping onto it."

Melutina glanced at Mebius, who was starting to drool, and said helplessly.

"Ok."

Mei nodded, turned her head and pinched Mebius's nose with her right hand, and after Mebius hummed twice, she successfully pulled out the test paper.

"Kevin... if you don't want to fail, please don't hand in your paper early."

"Okay, teacher..."

Kevin silently sat back down.

but……

Melutina glanced around the classroom and sighed.

Looking around, she saw familiar faces everywhere. It seemed she'd spent a different amount of time in this world compared to her own, at least...

She couldn't possibly be bigger than Mebius.

Kevin, May, Sue, Möbius, Sakura, Vervi, Alicia, Aquila, Hen...

All the early members of the Firemoth are here.

No, wait, are all these guys in the same major?

Melutina opened the exam paper again—

A brief history of Metis University.

"..."

Melutina couldn't help but wonder why a university would offer its history as a general education course.

……

"Aaaaaah, 59 points! What is that person?! A demon?! They must be a demon!"

Looking at the make-up exam notice on her phone and the heartfelt greeting from her counselor, Wilvi said somewhat frantically.

"That's because you stayed up all night playing games yesterday."

Mebius put his legs up on the table and put his hands behind his head.

"So, Mebius, what's your score?"

"Vellvier turned her head and asked."

"98 points."

Mebius stared at the pet livestream on the screen and blew a bubble.

"..."

Velvi turned her head away, not wanting to talk to this guy.

"What about Alicia? You weren't in the dorm last month, were you?"

"A twenty-year-old girl shouldn't waste her life on exams."

Alicia said this while combing her hair in front of the mirror.

So, what was your score?

Vervi's eyes lit up.

"60 points~"

Alicia stuck out her tongue.

"traitor!"

Vilvi let out a wail.

"Don't worry, at least Kevin will be there for you during your make-up exams this semester."

Mei looked away from the documents and adjusted her glasses.

"...Just asking, class monitor, how much is it?"

"99 points."

"Ahhh, I knew it! I shouldn't have asked!"

Vilvi slammed her head on the table.

"However, even for a course like this, the results are available on the same day..."

Mei looked at her phone with a puzzled expression.

"Is Ms. Melutina... such a diligent person?"

……

At this time, the counselor's office

"Hmm...is this time it's a university?"

Melutina knocked the counselor unconscious, skillfully hacked into his computer, and viewed student information.

According to the information, Melutina in this world seems to be a professor in the biology department. Although she became a professor at a young age, she is lazy and indolent, and has been criticized by name several times.

"...So, where is she?"

Melutina pressed her forehead, never expecting her counterpart in another world to be so unreliable.

However, there was another thing that surprised her.

"Vilvie... does she fail courses frequently? Hmm, there's no unusual record. This world's Velvie doesn't seem to have any special abilities."

Melutina crossed her arms over her chest.

"Wait a minute! This photo?!"

Suddenly, Melutina brought her face close to the screen, carefully examining the ID photo of "Melutina"—

His chest.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Melutina slammed her fist on the table.

"Ugh... my head hurts so much..."

Counselor Otto Apocalypse groaned, and Melutina punched him again without turning her head.
