The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Feeling the gazes from Bronya and Raiden Mei, Kiana's eyes became somewhat erratic with a guilty look. She raised her arm and scratched her silver hair: "Uh, that, ahahaha, nothing happened! I was just catching up with my aunt!"

"You're lying." Bronya said expressionlessly and concisely.

"Kiana, you're really not good at lying." Raiden Mei agreed with Bronya's point of view expressionlessly, and calmly added: "Before coming to St. Freya, you probably didn't know Principal Theresa."

"It's just like what Mei said, and it's not just that. Even if you need to reminisce about the past, it's hard to imagine that with your personalities, you two would exclude Yulandel alone when your family reunites." Bronya nodded and said lightly, "So, the only reasonable guess is that Kiana and Dean Theresa encountered an emergency that they couldn't even predict, so they didn't have time to explain it to others in advance, and left the dormitory without saying anything."

Bronya thought for a moment and added, "——Just like Yulandel didn't expect that when she was confessing her love to the captain, Silin would use the power of the sky to kidnap her right in front of her."

Kiana and Raiden Mei's steps suddenly froze.

They froze in place, turning their heads like puppets, and at the same time shifted their gazes to Bronya, with their eyes clearly indicating a symbol that is quite commonly used in various situations: "?"

"Look at Kiana and Mei's reaction..." Bronya glanced at Kiana and Mei who suddenly stopped, and her eyes twitched slightly, "Could it be that you two didn't notice what happened last night?"

Nonsense! Who knows about that? ! I wasn't in the dormitory last night! Kiana's face was stiff and she roared in her heart. Is Yulandel a person of that kind? ! Despicable! So despicable! You actually attacked me when I was away! Can you still be called the strongest Valkyrie with the name of the three great holy swords in Europe? The name of the holy sword Yulandel is crying!

Confess... Confess? Captain, you mean Li Shubai, right? Just last night, Yulandel confessed to Li Shubai? Raiden Mei looked a little pale and blank. This happened last night? What on earth did I miss when I wasn't paying attention?

Bronya ignored Kiana and Mei Raiden who had stopped, and continued walking towards the classroom.

She left the two people who were standing stiffly in the same place step by step behind, and muttered in a low voice: "What a mistake. Bronya thought that the other people present at the time should have understood this straightforward story line that did not require any guessing."

Ta-da-da-da-da—Pah! Pah! Accompanied by the sound of rapid and sharp footsteps and the sound of two hands slapping shoulders, Raiden Mei and Kiana rushed behind Bronya with all their strength and pressed the gray-haired silver wolf's shoulders with a smile on their faces.

"Bronya, could you please explain to me everything that happened in the dormitory last night?" Kiana smiled brightly. Her clear voice was brisk and her blue pupils were as cold and dead as if they were frozen. "What happened during my absence? I am very curious about it."

"Yes, yes. Like Kiana, I am also very concerned about what happened last night." Raiden Mei nodded, with her usual gentle smile on her face, and her voice was as gentle and considerate as Yamato Nadeshiko's, sounding no different from usual. "Our lovely Bronya should not refuse to satisfy Mei and Kiana's little curiosity, right?"

"..." Bronya closed her mouth. She glanced left and right at the two white hands pressing on her shoulders, then raised her head and turned her face slightly backwards, expressionless, silently expressing her protest.

Just at this time--

"You two."

——With a mature and cold voice, two thick books were pressed on Kiana and Raiden Mei's hair, one on the left and one on the right.

Because their heads were suddenly pressed down by a book, Kiana and Raiden Mei turned their heads back at the same time.

"The class is about to start, why are you still blocking the classroom door!?" Himeko, who had come behind the three of them at some point, had a dark face and glanced at Raiden Mei and Kiana with a blaming and questioning look, "Are you guys teaming up to bully Bronya? You guys are bullying the weak with your numbers, aren't you ashamed?"

"No...no! Teacher Himeko! I didn't bully Bronya!" Kiana hurriedly loosened her hand.

"Teacher Himeko, we didn't mean to bully Bronya." Raiden Mei also loosened her grip on Bronya's shoulders and slightly turned her body. "We were just asking Bronya something. If this matter caused you to misunderstand, please allow me to apologize."

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher Himeko, but Bronya's practical test score is A, and they don't have the ability to bully Bronya yet." Bronya said lightly.

"Is that so?" Since it was just a fight between friends, Himeko naturally had no intention of intervening. She took back the books that were pressing down on Kiana and Raiden Mei's hair, and pointed to the classroom, "Then quickly find your seats and sit down. I will give you the first lesson from now on. You..."

Whoosh! Before Ji Zi finished her words, a figure flashed over in an instant, accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, and stopped at the door of the classroom with the rough sound of brakes hitting the floor.

"Huh... safe on base... eh?" After explaining for a long time before reluctantly getting Yae Sakura to let him go, Li Shubai, who had been running all the way from the back hill outside the school to the classroom door, hadn't even breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the sharp protrusions of the two index finger joints were pressing against his temples on both sides of his head.

After realizing that the fatal part of his head was being held firmly by someone, Li Shubai's forehead was instantly covered with sweat. His strong desire to survive and sense of crisis made him instinctively admit his mistakes: "Wait, Teacher Jizi, please don't, I was wrong... Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!!!! My head is going to explode! I'm going to die! I'm really going to die!!!"

"My dear little Shubai." Ji Zi clenched her fists and pressed the knuckles of her fingers against Li Shubai's temples. She then pressed her thumb against his head. Then, she used her thumb as a base point to rotate the knuckles of her index finger vigorously while gritting her teeth and saying, "You treat me as if I don't exist, don't you? Do I need to teach you that running in the corridor is prohibited?!"

"It hurts, it hurts! Isn't this just to avoid being late?!" Li Shubai tried to save his head from being crushed by Ji Zi.

"How dare you talk back!" Ji Zi shouted angrily, while exerting more force on her two fingers, "Can't you leave earlier if you don't want to be late? You don't know where to go so early in the morning, you are the only one who has too many things to do!"

"I..." Li Shubai hesitated, feeling sad and aggrieved, almost crying.

I was wronged! I didn't want to run out of the dormitory so early in the morning. It was clearly Theresa who asked me to help her!

But could Yaezakura's affairs be discussed in public? Obviously not, so for the sake of his own life, Li Shubai had to stop thinking about continuing to explain.

Seeing that Li Shubai seemed to have accepted the punishment, Ji Zi snorted coldly, loosened her hands that were holding Li Shubai's head, then raised her palms and slapped him on the back, with a strong and unquestionable tone: "Hurry up and get ready for class! Also! Don't run away after class like you did this morning!

"If you don't explain to me clearly what you did to my body last night... humph, don't even think about getting off get out of class, you won't be able to sleep tonight!" Ji Zi declared loudly in an extremely tough attitude.

For a moment, the air in the entire teaching building seemed to fall into silence.

Whether inside or outside the classroom, the students who had already focused their attention slightly because of the commotion at the door stopped all their movements at the same time.

The students who were talking stopped talking.

The students who were reviewing their lessons closed their books.

Students who were rushing to finish their assignments stopped writing.

Like Li Shubai, students who were racing against time in order not to be late also stopped.

Even many teachers passing by stood there leisurely, looking at Ji Zi from afar with eyes full of admiration and congratulations - among them was a history teacher wearing square-framed glasses.

Everyone simultaneously turned their gaze towards the direction of the classroom door. Apart from the sound of people breathing and the rustling of leaves in the cold wind outside the window, nothing could be heard.

The entire teaching building fell into endless stillness and silence, as if a machine had suddenly stopped.

"I..." Li Shubai stared at Ji Zi who was acting righteously in amazement. He felt his scalp tingling as he felt everyone's gazes were focused on him.

In particular, among these gazes, there were three that were scrutinizing and cold.

That was the sight of Kiana, Mei Raiden, and Bronya.

Li Shubai knew very well what it meant when three people make a tiger. After Ji Zi did that to him at the classroom door today, he probably wouldn't be surprised if he heard people say tomorrow that he had made Ji Zi pregnant.

For the sake of his own reputation, Li Shubai knew that he had to thoroughly clarify this rumor before it spread. He tried his best to deny it angrily: "Don't slander my innocence with empty words! What do you mean by what I did to your body! I clearly didn't do anything last night!!"

"Then how do you explain why I fell asleep last night?" Ji Zi snorted coldly at Li Shubai's desperate eyes. "Last night, there were only two of us in the room, and everyone knows that as Valkyries, we can't fall into a deep sleep just because we can't control our sleepiness. So... apart from you doing something, I can't think of any other possibility."

"I……"

Li Shubai, there is no point in making excuses.

Chapter 4: Kiana Can't Be Learned (k)

The bell announcing the end of classes slowly echoed in every corner of St. Freya's College.

"Then this class ends here. get out of class dismissed."

After saying the last sentence, Ji Zi glared at Li Shubai who was lying on the table without disguising, then walked through the classroom door and headed towards the corridor outside.

The students in the classroom stood up consciously and watched Ji Zi leave.

The clock that had been moving at a snail's pace in the classroom since eight o'clock finally pointed to half past nine. After Ji Zi's figure disappeared from the students' sight, an atmosphere of relaxation and relief suddenly spread throughout the spacious classroom.

Liberated from the hard work of studying, the girls began to gather in groups of three or four. Soon, the classroom was filled with laughter and chatter in a youthful and lively atmosphere.

Needless to say, Li Shubai, who started to slouch on the table and slack off halfway through the class, was the worst offender. For other students who were trying their best to listen carefully, the break time, which was already extremely precious, seemed even more impossible to waste compared to the one and a half hour long class.

Although their behaviors are different, both Li Shubai and the other students have the same philosophy of making the most of every second.

In Saint Freya Academy, it is quite common for the same teacher to teach different subjects. People with Honkai resistance are rare, and among them, Valkyries with teaching qualifications are even more difficult to find. In addition to the practical classes that everyone knows, in this grade, Wuliangta Jizi also teaches two other courses: [Basic Honkai Theory] and [Identification and Basic Application of Standardized Weapons].

Strictly speaking, today is the second day of school, so most of the knowledge Jizi taught was quite simple and easy to understand.

Just like the basic knowledge points taught at the beginning of most junior high schools, St. Freya's College, as the only Valkyrie training college in the world, has further optimized its courses according to the abilities of the students enrolled.

This part of the course on basic knowledge of Honkai Impact 3rd was originally prepared for students with relatively poor foundations. For students like Li Shubai who can get high scores in the theoretical entrance examination for various reasons, it plays more of a consolidation role.

Plus... Li Shubai now has the assistance of the Stigmata Space Rialto, and his ability has recovered to the point where he can even use the Key of God, so it should be no problem for him to graduate immediately.

So, after seeing Li Shubai starting to slack off in class, Ji Zi simply glared at him at the end of the get out of class, instead of using her authority and responsibility as a teacher to wake him up immediately.

But on the other side, Kiana, who was limp and half lying on the chair, was not so lucky.

"Teacher Jizi is partial..."

She collapsed on the chair, with a red spot on her forehead and a bunch of big bumps on her head. White mist like a soul floated in her mouth, and in that white mist, she made sounds that were dry for various reasons.

Based on the teaching philosophy of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, Wuliangta Jizi did not disturb Li Shubai when she saw him sleeping in her class. Jizi knew that Li Shubai had achieved a remarkable high score in the entrance examination, and since he was able to achieve high scores through self-study at the beginning of his enrollment, it meant that Li Shubai had his own set of mature and complete learning concepts.

In addition, through yesterday's mission in the South China Sea, Ji Zi also learned from Li Shubai's actions that he liked to prepare everything very well, and his excellent quality of not being averse to learning.

Through all this, Ji Zi realized that since the general courses at St. Freya College were no longer meaningful to him, it would be better to let Li Shubai study in his own way, and when he encountered a bottleneck in his studies, help him to fill in the gaps at a deeper level, rather than forcing him to repeatedly learn knowledge that he already knew well and consume the learning interest that ordinary people would never have.

But because of this reason, after setting the teaching policy for Li Shubai and making the decision, Ji Zi, who was already resentful about the meaningless incident that happened last night, was even less able to vent her emotions.

Coincidentally, there was another poor student among the students present who needed her good care.

So, seeing Li Shubai openly showing off, Kiana, who wanted to imitate him and doze off, suffered a big disaster as expected.

"Pfft, you, can't you let Teacher Jizi worry less?" Raiden Mei came to Kiana's side, stretched out her finger, gently touched the big bumps standing proudly on the forehead of the white-haired ball, and then looked at Kiana's painful expression, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Teacher Jizi's technique is quite accurate. She can actually hit all the chalk heads in the same place without any deviation."

"Woo... Why can he sleep during class, but I can't?" Kiana made a tearful sound like a kitten whimpering, her nose twitching accurately.

"Bronya thinks that if Kiana can get a high score close to full marks in the entrance exam, Teacher Himeko will not use this method to force Kiana to stay awake during class." Bronya said lightly, "Unfortunately, with Kiana's IQ level, it is probably a fantasy to want to do this."

"Damn it, isn't it just that my brain is a little smarter?" Kiana gritted her teeth, her words full of resentment, "Obviously, my IQ is not bad either..."

"Then why can't you learn even such simple things?" Raiden Mei, who has known Kiana for a while, has no objection to Kiana's evaluation that "my IQ is not bad". "Whether it is the entrance examination or the knowledge taught by Teacher Himeko, it should not be difficult to understand. With Kiana's thinking, if you are willing to work harder, you should be able to master it easily. Why are you unwilling to spend even this little energy?"

"Wow... I don't know either." Kiana slapped her head on the table, and a voice mixed with fatigue and confusion came out from the gap between her face and the table, "But as soon as I saw the textbook and heard Teacher Jizi's lecture, I couldn't concentrate at all..."

For some reason, for Kiana, who is not stupid and can even be said to be quite smart, studying in class is a more arduous battle than anything else.

Kiana was not a lazy person at heart, so when she was listening to Teacher Jizi's lecture, she had been trying to force herself to listen carefully. But for some reason, the distracting thoughts in her mind had always been like chewing gum stuck to the ground, entangled with her thoughts, and were unwilling to separate.

No matter what she did, Kiana just couldn't concentrate in class, and without enough concentration, she naturally couldn't keep up with what Jizi was saying.

What was the reason why I couldn't concentrate on reading... Kiana had thought about this question several times.

Physical fatigue? Impossible. As a member of the Kaslana clan, Kiana was aware that her physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, and she was always proud of it. So this reason was simply ignored.

Mental fatigue? I can't really say. From a very young age, Kiana has been determined to fight against Honkai in order to protect others. Kiana is sure that she has always had a strong interest in Honkai. In addition, Jizi's teaching level is quite good. Even ordinary people will not find Jizi's class boring. This reason is naturally untenable.

But for some reason, in her eyes, no matter how fascinating what Teacher Ji Zi said was, as long as it was during class, everything else, such as the clouds outside the window, the angle of the sun, the sound of the cold wind blowing through the branches in winter... all these things that were originally very ordinary would naturally become inexplicably interesting, and turn into unnecessary distractions that invaded her thinking.

In contrast, the squeaking sound of chalk and blackboard rubbing against each other, the sound of Ji Zi lecturing, and the rustling sound of turning pages of a book, all become lullabies that try to lull your consciousness into sleep.

This situation seemed wrong no matter how she thought about it, but Kiana, who was unable to solve the problem, could only despairingly attribute it to talent or something like a curse, and helplessly recognized and accepted the fact that she just couldn't learn anything.

"Really?" Mei Raiden tilted her head and looked at Bronya. These two top students who could naturally concentrate in class expressed confusion and sympathy for the predicament Kiana encountered.

Even though I don't understand, but... every individual is indeed quite different. Some people can do things that others just can't. Both Raiden Mei and Bronya are well aware of this fact.

So, apart from joking, they naturally would not seriously ridicule Kiana for such things.

"Come to think of it... Li Shubai seems to have really fallen asleep." Raiden Mei looked up and looked at Li Shubai, who was lying motionless on the table, with some concern. "He looks very tired. Let's not disturb him for now."

If Li Shubai could hear Raiden Mei's kind words that contained love and concern, he would probably rush to her and shout, "Wake me up immediately, I'm not tired at all."

But unfortunately, after falling into a deep sleep, Li Shubai's consciousness once again entered the stigmata space, but he was unable to hear Raiden Mei's words.

In the holy scar space.

A large group of people surrounded Li Shubai aggressively, with cold expressions as if they wanted to eat him.

Among them, the most imposing is Wuliangta Jizi, who is the will of the Holy Mark.

Li Shubai knelt in the center of the group of Stigma Will, looking aggrieved, like a husband being scolded by his strict wife. He did not dare to breathe, racking his brains to think about how to overcome this unexpected and sudden difficulty.

Last night——

——After using Yu Duchen to forcibly hypnotize Wuliangta Jizi, Li Shubai's process of healing Jizi's body was quite tedious and bloody.

Because he was not sure whether Jizi's body could withstand accepting another natural stigma from the outside world, he used the Black Abyss White Flower to adjust his body to a similar state as Jizi, then implanted the stigma into his own body and completed the work of awakening and activation.

After confirming that his physical condition was normal, Li Shubai transplanted his body to Ji Zi bit by bit, starting with his blood.

Although he knew from the beginning that he would not die easily because of such a thing, he made the decision with confidence. However, because he needed to cut off and give up his body bit by bit while maintaining consciousness, the process was too painful. After fainting from the pain, he unconsciously stopped the healing of the Black Abyss White Flower and fell into the vicinity of death due to excessive blood loss, so he had to waste the remaining emergency resuscitation injection.

Fortunately, Ji Zi's transformation surgery was successfully completed in the end.

However, the mental damage he suffered still caused Li Shubai's consciousness to fall into an extremely exhausted state uncontrollably. When it was time for class, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and inevitably fell into sleep, and unsurprisingly entered the Stigmata space.

Then, the situation became like this, where he was surrounded by the wills of the holy marks, staring at him with angry eyes.

Although they surrounded Li Shubai in an extremely oppressive manner, the wills of these holy marks, including Wuliangta Jizi, fell into a state of aphasia at the same time.

Ji Zi stared at Li Shubai, who looked aggrieved. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she sighed as if exhausted.

The silence lasted for a long time, and Ji Zi spoke first: "I know that the captain's choice was made after careful consideration."

"Because you know that although you will pay a price for such behavior, the price is not yet unacceptable." Ji Zi's voice sounded a little dry. "After carefully weighing the pros and cons, you believe that the benefits of your choice far outweigh the costs, so you put your ideas into action without hesitation. This has always been your character."

"But have you ever thought about it?" Ji Zi looked at Li Shubai with a complicated expression, "Your choice is to let me in the original world bear the guilt of hurting others?"

Chapter 4 Li Shubai: Impossible! Absolutely impossible! (k)

After listening to Ji Zi's words, Li Shubai did not agree.
