——You have also noticed that Kiana and Bronya are getting stronger, but you are the only one standing still. In most critical moments, you can only rely on your Herrscher consciousness to save the situation, and you haven’t even won the battle yet.

The light screen ended, and Sword Saint Houm once again returned to the posture of crossing his arms across his chest, looking down at Mei Raiden condescendingly.

——Where is your dignity as a master of the Hokushin Ittoryu Menkyo Kaiden? Where is your pride as the Queen of Thunder? Where is your determination to protect your companions? Do you think you are a cook just by cooking?

——What’s the point of cooking delicious food? I can’t eat it!

"This...I..."

Mei Raiden was suddenly awakened by the scolding of Swordmaster Houmu. Because she was taught by the other party in childhood, when facing this skin, Mei Beichen felt the debuff like a student facing a teacher. For a moment, she was really immersed in reflection, and subconsciously ignored the last sentence of Swordmaster Houmu, which was not right.

——Ahem!

The big yellow rabbit, pronounced as Houmu Jiansheng and written as Chenshi, realized his slip of the tongue and immediately put his hand in front of his mouth and pretended to cough. Well, his cough was also made through telepathy.

——Do you want to know why you fell into this state, Raiden Mei?

"Please teach me, Sword Saint Houmu!"

Brought back to her senses by Chen Shi's cough, Mei Raiden looked at her "teacher" as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"It's a goal! Mei, you lack a goal to motivate yourself. The overly comfortable current situation has satisfied you without a goal, and you have stopped moving forward. But Kiana and Bronya have clear goals. Kiana wants to find her father, and Bronya wants to rescue Seele. What about you? What is your goal?"

"I……"

Mei Raiden thought of a lot of things at once, but when it came to her lips, she was unable to say it out loud.

Is it for father?

No, after she learned that Raiden Ryoma was safe with the help of the anti-entropy conservatives, her thoughts on this matter were no longer so strong.

Is it to master the power of the Herrscher?

No, if she were honest, she was afraid of the power of the Herrscher and was even unwilling to face the questioning of the Herrscher's personality.

So, is it for the safety of your companions?

No, this means nothing is protected!

Mei Raiden's expression became more and more frustrated as she denied the reasons that popped up in her mind one after another. In the end, she could only come up with an answer that surprised her.

I actually wasted so much time in Saint Freya without any goal. No wonder I am the only one who has been standing still.

Seeing Raiden Mei's current appearance, Chen Shi knew that he had almost finished KFC and should move on to the next stage.

So, he conjured up a big screen and a game controller out of thin air, walked over to Mei Raiden and patted her shoulder gently.

"Phrynthion?"

Facing the blank look in Mei Raiden's eyes, the yellow rabbit showed a warm smile as a responsible ship servant.

——Come and try this game, I believe you will find your goal, Mei!

How can playing games be considered suffering?

Chen Shi thought so with principle, and gave a thumbs up to Raiden Mei who chose to believe in him without reservation.

This castrated version of Honkai Impact 3rd, which he created temporarily and only has the main storyline and ends with the plot of Sinner's Elegy, really made Raiden Mei feel the positivity of miHoYo, and she looked at Chen Shi with tears in her eyes.

"Hum Sword Saint, what on earth is this?"

——This is just a game, but if you continue to be in this muddle-headed way, this is the reality you will have to face.

"How could this be?"

Mei Raiden wiped her tears and had no idea that the Sword Master Houmu, whom she respected, was secretly taking a photo of her.

After Chen Shi was satisfied, he put the camera back into its cotton-filled body, then took out a pointer from it, making a very vague sound.

——What's wrong with your tears? What's wrong with that look in your eyes? Can your tears save Kiana? At this point, don't you know what you should do?

"!?"

Chen Shi's words were like a revelation to Mei Raiden, and she suddenly reacted.

"Yes! That's right! I want to become stronger! I want to master the power of the Herrscher of Lightning and never let Kiana bear it alone again..."

——Big mistake!

"Snapped!"

The teaching stick was swung down mercilessly and hit the back of Raiden Mei's hand. The slight pain made the purple-haired girl tremble all over, and she looked at Chen Shi strangely.

She thought this was clearly the optimal solution in the game, so why was she being scolded?

Chen Shi looked at Raiden Mei with disappointment.

——Looking for a solution to the collapse, a certain idiot deserves to be locked up on the moon for 8 years! Since you know it's not a good thing, you should cut it off! This is the power you really want to master!

As he spoke, Chen Shi pulled out a 30-centimeter-thick book from the doll's body and slapped it into Raiden Mei's hand. The thick weight of the book made Raiden Mei's heart suddenly tremble.

She looked down and saw the words "Introduction to Physics" in large letters.

"Ugh?"

In her puzzled eyes, she only saw Chen Shi jumping and skipping away, pulling out another "self" with a streak of dark purple highlights from behind a bush, grabbing the back of her collar and dragging her to his side, and then doing the same thing and throwing an identical book to her.

——It’s just right, there are two of you learning together, so the teaching speed can be doubled.

Afterwards, Raiden Mei and her Herrscher consciousness were taught physics knowledge by the terrifying Sword Saint Houm for a whole night. It was only just now that Raiden Mei woke up from her sleep and started a new day.

"Have I watched too much Kamen Rider? Why would the Sword Master Houmu come to teach me physics?"

She still felt a little unbelievable about last night's dream, but perhaps because that inexplicable game left such a deep impression on her, Mei Raiden couldn't help but decide to prepare breakfast and pick up the morning exercise that she had been suspended for a long time.

But when she came to the kitchen, she saw Theresa rummaging through the refrigerator.

"Huh? Dean, you came so early today?"

"Oh, it's Mei."

Theresa poked her little head out from behind the refrigerator door with a bitter gourd in her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa called me this morning and told me that the captain had returned with one of my students. I had to go pick them up right away, and I didn't have time to eat breakfast, so I just grabbed something to make do."

As she spoke, Theresa found a few more slices of bread and sausages.

"student?"

"Well, Wendy was once my proudest student, but after I recommended her to the Oceania branch, we rarely contacted each other. I asked Grandpa to transfer her back several times, but she refused every time. I didn't expect that the captain would succeed in poaching her this time. Hehe, well done."

After swallowing the food whole, Theresa licked her fingers and seemed to be in a good mood.

"That's it. You don't have to prepare breakfast for me. And please tell Kiana and the others that Wendy may be your new roommate."

"Okay, I understand. Take care, Dean."

Mei Raiden nodded and watched Theresa walk away with her short legs.

"Captain?"

Mei Raiden had naturally seen the captain before. He was a witty and humorous young man. His good looks and rare male identity made him quite popular among the female students of St. Freya. However, because he liked to travel everywhere, he was rarely seen.

However, what has left the deepest impression on Mei Raiden recently is that Mebius in the video always likes to speak in his voice after transforming, which makes Mei Raiden feel a little ptsd when she thinks of him.

"What am I thinking? The captain is a nice guy. It's all Mobius' fault."

Patting her cheeks, Mei Raiden started making today's breakfast. If she worked quickly, she should be able to squeeze out half an hour of morning exercise.

After completing morning exercises, Mei Raiden returned to the dormitory and saw Kiana and others who had already started enjoying the breakfast she had left for them.

Because of the "Honkai Impact 3" she played in her dream, the way she looked at Kiana became a little subtle, but she couldn't help but wonder if the other person really had a Herrscher personality in her body like her.

But after all, it was a dream that could not be verified, and Raiden Mei could not drag her to have a physical examination.

And if the dream is true, his behavior is likely to be noticed by Fu Hua, who is still a spy, and then attract Otto's attention.

While thinking, Fu Hua, who had keen senses, noticed Raiden Mei's wandering gaze and looked back with some curiosity.

"Mei-san, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh! Nothing, I'm just a little tired after the long-awaited morning exercise."

Mei Raiden smiled and shook her head, then chose to take a seat.

Fu Hua didn't doubt anything, she just pushed her glasses up.

"Indeed, Meiyi gave up the opportunity for morning exercises because she had to prepare breakfast for us. It's a pity. How about this? Meiyi and I will take turns preparing breakfast from now on. This will also reduce some of your burden."

"Bronya can join, too."

After swallowing the food in her mouth, the petite gray-haired girl raised her hand. Seeing her rival being attentive to Raiden Mei, Kiana couldn't sit still anymore.

"Me, me, me! And me! I can help, too, Mei!"

"Ronpa, there's no way that lazy Kiana will wake up early, and in the end everyone will just not have breakfast that day."

"What did you say, little brat!?"

Seeing the two of them starting their familiar quarrel again, Raiden Mei felt helpless but also a little warm.

——As expected, even if it’s just to protect the present life, I must become stronger!

"Mei, what do you think?"

Seeing that Mei had not responded yet, Kiana couldn't help but ask, thus attracting the other party's attention back.

"Well, I think it's okay. Why don't we try it first? We can arrange the order in the evening?"

"Great!"

Looking at Kiana's pleading eyes, Raiden Mei finally agreed to the proposal of several people. She really needed more time for training now.

At the dinner table later, Mei Raiden explained to everyone why Theresa was not there.

Just when Kiana became interested and wanted to call the captain to ask him if he had brought back any delicious local specialties, she suddenly noticed that the video on her phone went black, and then the TV in the living room suddenly turned on by itself.

Then, everyone turned their eyes to the TV. They were already used to it and knew what was going to happen next.

As expected, the Zi-O logo was seen slowly emerging in the center of the screen, and a new trailer appeared.
