Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Perhaps this is the characteristic of gold-rarity dolls; it's normal that she's not used to it since it's her first time using a doll of this level.

Without thinking too much, Guan Xing left the room.

Ziyao, who was the main body, felt a little sleepy and went back to bed for a nap.

St. Freya Academy is located on an artificial island.

The girl's physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary Valkyries; with a few light leaps, she quickly reached the rooftop.

All around was the sea, but fortunately it wasn't far from the land, only a few hundred meters away.

I jumped down, and the scenery kept expanding before my eyes.

The fan stirred up waves, creating ripples on the water's surface.

Like walking on fine sand, the water surface was soft, easily offsetting the potential energy of falling from a great height.

The girl did not fall into the water, but stood on it as if walking on flat ground.

Walk all the way to the shore, and you'll find a commercial street nearby.

It took quite a while to travel several kilometers by tram to see the stars, and I even got to taste the osmanthus cake from my hometown.

Practice has proven that there are no longer any restrictions on the use of dolls.

It's a pity that it can't be deactivated remotely; it has to be returned to a certain range, otherwise it would be perfect.

The next few days were uneventful, except for attending classes and studying.

Because of her good grades and her past as a school nurse, she quickly gained the attention of the students and became second only to Mei in popularity.

In reality, Ziyao didn't want to get involved in this matter, and her equally indifferent attitude was seen as a cute contrast.

..

Friday has arrived in the blink of an eye, and tomorrow is the weekend.

Today's lesson focused on practical training, which will affect individual assessments.

They made a special trip to the remote mountains of the Far East, where a collapse had recently occurred.

Ziyao was a little weak and almost fell while walking on the mountain path, but fortunately her classmate helped her up.

The village was in a state of chaos, with ruins everywhere.

The culprit who caused the disaster appeared shortly after they stepped inside.

I never expected that such a small place would produce a Temple-level Honkai Beast.

It held a shield in one hand and knew how to block, making it a troublesome opponent for ordinary Valkyries.

However, their massive, fortified bodies could not sustain their lives. A flash of cold light, and several Honkai Beasts were sliced ​​in half together.

Several Valkyries watching exclaimed in surprise, "Mei is so powerful!"

Aloof and taciturn, with outstanding achievements and abilities, he perfectly embodies the protagonist image in a hero's story.

The so-called layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

The girl's movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

Fu Hua looked at the smooth cut surface with slight surprise and couldn't help but sigh.

In just under a month, Mei has broken through her bottleneck and cultivated her swordsmanship to such a level that calling her a genius is no exaggeration.

Moreover, it seems to bear some resemblance to the Taixu Sword Technique...

"You flatter me, class monitor. It's all thanks to Ziyao. I was just doing what she said."

"Insightful understanding is built upon accumulation; there's no need to be modest."

Similarly, the teacher who provides guidance is also very important.

Thinking about this, Fu Hua became even more curious about what Zi Yao had taught her.

Otto had mentioned her before, but after spending a few days with her, Fu Hua only knew that she was an ordinary student and that her way of speaking was very similar to Otto's.

"Is it my turn?"

The girl belatedly realized what was happening and looked around.

"Kiana, it's very dangerous to get distracted during battle. Don't expect your opponent to be lenient with you."

Fu Hua criticized him mercilessly, saying that it was one thing to attend class, but how could he be so inattentive during actual combat?

The other students had all dealt with the Honkai Beasts to varying degrees, leaving only Kiana and Ziyao.

If we don't step up our efforts, we'll probably end up at the bottom.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm very capable."

Kiana took out her dual pistols and quickly dealt with several troublesome enemies.

However, due to his exaggerated fighting style, although the Honkai Beast was smashed, it attracted more companions.

"Step back and let me handle this."

Looking towards the distant valley where there were about thirty, Fu Hua stepped forward and said.

The students thought dealing with this number was too dangerous and that she had to step in to solve it.

Unexpectedly, as if the Honkai Beasts had conspired together, a group of them also surged out from the right, forming an encirclement.

With many students around, Fu Hua couldn't act freely, so he couldn't help but frown.

"Please move aside, be careful not to get hurt."

A soft voice came from behind, and Ziyao was seen holding a feather fan, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

I didn't want to get involved, but with this number, it's inevitable that someone will get hurt.

"Is it okay?"

Fu Hua hesitated.

"Do not worry."

All eyes were on the girl, who waved her hand gently, and the branches and leaves of the forest began to rustle.

After the prelude, a strong wind swept through, snapping several thick trees in half.

Thanks to its elevated location, the wind was amplified.

The main force of the Honkai Beasts in the valley was instantly overturned, and a few of the slightly weaker ones fell directly off the cliff.

This was just the beginning. Another gust of wind swept in, and the remaining Honkai Beasts quickly couldn't hold on any longer and were swept off the mountain.

Fu Hua quickly finished cleaning up and looked at the barren valley, unsure of what to say.

"you're good."

She never hesitates to acknowledge talent; it's a sign of respect for ability.

The students kept looking at the broken trees around them, the scene they had just witnessed deeply etched into their memories.

Unexpectedly, the frail Ziyao possessed such great power.

Volume 1: Chapter 98 A Changeable Heart (Part 1)

in the afternoon.

After the practical test was completed, the group went to a milk tea shop near the town and ordered a few cups at random.

Ziyao noticed that Fu Hua was paying close attention to Kiana.

He would observe from time to time, looking as if he were deep in thought.

"So sweet! Adding some double-skin milk pudding would be the perfect match!"

"Mei, would you like to try it?"

On the way back to the academy, the white-haired girl took out a cup of milk tea that she had bought in advance.

She had the shop assistant mix the ingredients according to her idea, and it seemed to work quite well.

Mei smiled and declined her offer. Outside the window, the clouds drifted by, tinged with crimson.

I was able to sit in the same seat as Ziyao this time, and the air seemed to become sweeter, which put me in a great mood.

"You, you saw it too, it's not something I'm giving to you. We can't waste food..."

Kiana clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with one hand, awkwardly handed over the milk tea, and turned her head away.

Standing in front of Ziyao, the girl hesitated, trying her best to explain that she hadn't intentionally prepared it specifically for her.

"Thank you. Kiana, would you like to come along?"

Taking the milk tea, Ziyao moved closer to Meiyi, leaving the inner seat empty.

Because girls are generally petite, it can just accommodate three people.

Kiana carefully sat down inside, her face slightly flushed.

For some reason, it was difficult for him to meet Ziyao's gaze.

Noticing that she and Mei were very close, he felt a vague discomfort and a sense of irritation rose within him.

It's like scratching an itch through a boot; the feeling of being neither close nor distant makes it even more unbearable.

Last week's confession, though it didn't stir any emotion in my heart, I just can't forget it.

I can recall the girl's face under the moonlight as soon as I close my eyes.

"How does it taste?"

Kiana asked softly, trying to start a conversation.

"good."

While others took their time, spooning it out slowly, Ziyao lifted a corner of the seal and swallowed it instantly.

Nothing is more satisfying than eating jelly or similar gelatinous foods straight away.
