Honkai Impact, I'm not a Ditto!

“But…you’ve already made up your mind.” Theresa was still perceptive; a hint of worry flashed in her eyes. “Sikong…I think you should reconsider, or perhaps give up…”

After letting out a soft sigh, Theresa slumped onto the sofa and said, "Don't rush into the experiment just because I want you to go, or because of Wendy. Think more about Kiana, Raiden Mei, and the others..."

"It's because of them... that I need to participate in the experiment to transplant the Gem of Desire..."

Sikong kept these words to himself.

If we wait another year, the battle of the gods will begin, and his current strength is really not enough.

Among the A-rank Valkyries, Sikong barely reaches the average level.

How to reach S-rank without cheating?

Sikong still had a long way to go, and he didn't want to wait any longer, so he spoke up as if it were a joke.

"Since the headmaster already knows my decision, please don't try to persuade me anymore. If the headmaster really feels bad about it, then consider it a favor you owe me, which you'll have to repay later, you know?"

Chapter 184 The Dean is the Best

"Sikong, you..."

The dean's expression was complicated.

Sikong had already made his decision, and Theresa couldn't do anything about it. After a few futile attempts to persuade him, she finally gave up on this approach.

Theresa felt a mixture of sadness and joy.

Two conflicting emotions left Theresa speechless for a moment. She simply sat on the sofa, staring blankly at Sikong's profile, which made her feel rather embarrassed.

A moment later, Theresa suddenly spoke.

"Sikong, do you need a lap pillow? The headmaster heard that boys like lap pillows, would you like to try it?"

“But don’t misunderstand,” Theresa said, turning her head. “The headmaster just thinks you’re working too hard, so she wants to help you relax a bit.”

Theresa used to often rest her head on Cecilia's lap.

Although they were the same gender, this lap pillow made Theresa feel exceptionally comfortable.

"It would probably feel even better if it were someone of the opposite sex."

Theresa had often had this idea before.

Unfortunately, neither Cecilia nor Theresa had the ability to transform into a man.

"Ugh?"

Sikong was surprised that Theresa would say such a thing. He stared at the headmistress, who had forgotten to wear her nun's headscarf again, with a look of astonishment.

After a moment of contemplation.

Sikong refused.

"Dean... there's no need for that, I appreciate your kindness."

"What? You actually dared to refuse me? The headmaster clearly struggled with the decision in her heart before saying those words, and you actually refused! What an ungrateful child!" Theresa said angrily, puffing out her cheeks. "Why? Is the headmaster not cute enough?"

Even though Sikong wasn't very emotionally intelligent, he could tell that Theresa was angry.

So he quickly spoke up.

"No! Absolutely not. The headmaster is the cutest person in the world." Sikong waved his hand. "There is no one cuter than the headmaster in this world, I guarantee it."

Theresa did not let him off the hook because of Sikong's praise, but continued to press him for answers.

"Then why don't you agree to the headmaster's lap pillow? At St. Freya Academy, there aren't many students who get to have the headmaster's lap pillow. You're the only male among them. You should feel honored."

"Because the headmaster looks too young..."

Sikong's gaze moved downwards from Theresa's face.

Because of her synthetic identity, Headmistress Theresa's physical development stopped at the age of twelve, making her look even younger and more childlike than Bronya.

It's understandable that Sikong refused; otherwise, the FBI would have been knocking on his door offering help.

"Young? The headmaster is over forty years old! Not young at all!" Theresa's gaze grew increasingly dangerous. "You...where are you looking? You wouldn't be saying...?"

Now it was Sikong's turn to be dumbfounded. He thought to himself, "Dean, what on earth are you thinking! Although some things are quite trivial, how could you have the nerve to say them directly to my face..."

Sikong could foresee that if he didn't explain things properly...

The "Oath of Judah" might come crashing down on him soon.

"Hey, hey, hey? Dean, don't misunderstand." Sikong closed his eyes, leaned back, and kept saying, "Dean, you're not small at all, not small at all, you're big enough, big enough..."

Theresa's face darkened, and she said, "Sikong, do you dare to open your eyes and say that?"

"Why don't you dare?"

After Sikong finished speaking, his eyes widened, and then he saw Theresa pat her slender, straight thighs.

The anger on the young woman's face had somehow dissipated.

She spoke calmly.

"The headmaster is giving you one last chance, Sikong. If you refuse, you can forget about it later."

Looking at the extremely serious Theresa in front of me.

In a daze, Sikong recalled Himeko Murata's promise when the Tranquil Gem was transplanted last time.

The red-haired mature woman is really cunning.

They made all the right promises before they left, but changed their minds as soon as they came back.

To this day, Sikong still hasn't returned that slap.

As for promises like dates, Himeko Murata had already rejected them long ago.

Theresa was completely different from Himeko Murata; she didn't say anything about rewarding Sikong with a lap pillow or something after the gem transplant was successful.

Instead, he was to be rewarded before Sikong left.

Perhaps it was because Theresa still felt a pang of guilt towards Sikong.

Sikong and the academy president exchanged a glance for a second.

In the end, he succumbed to her stern gaze.

"Okay... alright, since the dean has said so, it would be too pretentious for me to refuse again."

After Sikong finished speaking, he lay down on his back, resting the back of his head on Theresa's soft thighs. Thanks to the sofa being long enough, he could also stretch his legs out.

Looking down at the headmaster's face, Sikong noticed that it was completely different from usual.

but......

Sikong didn't get to see this scene for long before Theresa blindfolded him with one of her small hands, while her other hand gently ruffled his hair.

"Sikong, you've never been fighting alone. To be honest... the headmaster thinks your strength has improved fast enough, so why are you still pushing yourself so hard?"

Theresa spoke softly, recalling how Otto had told her that Sikong would definitely agree to the desired gemstone transplant.

Theresa didn't believe it at first, but now she does.

Sikong remained silent.

"Although I don't know why you're so obsessed with becoming stronger."

"But... I can sense that you're keeping something to yourself."

"Sikong, if possible, I hope you can tell the headmaster about these things. St. Freya Academy will help you solve the problem."

Theresa is trying to persuade Sikong.

This did not relax him; instead, it made him more tense.

"What exactly did Theresa and Otto talk about before I arrived? Did they discover something? No... that's unlikely. The World Serpent probably won't expose my identity."

"Then... could it be that Otto has already invaded the World Serpent? That's unlikely. The Gray Serpent is not an easy opponent. It would be very difficult for Otto to deal with someone who has been hiding in the present from a previous civilization."

"Without my existence, Otto wouldn't have even discovered the World Serpent so quickly."

Various thoughts collided in his mind, and Sikong carefully recalled whether he had revealed any flaws.

Compared to the world snake.

Sikong preferred to believe that the problem lay on his side.

"I shouldn't have done anything beyond what's expected of me..."

Theresa noticed Sikong's unusual behavior. She gently rubbed his head, just as Sikong had rubbed hers earlier, and said slowly, "Don't think too much. The headmaster wouldn't harm you."

Chapter 185 Preparing to Leave

Sikong knew, of course, that Theresa wouldn't harm him, but he would never reveal his secret before the white-haired, blue-eyed young woman decided to break ties with Otto.

Once exposed, the remaining peaceful life will completely collapse.

Sikong knew without even thinking that countless troubles would come knocking on his door.

I enjoyed using a lap pillow for a while.

Theresa did not get any useful information from Sikong. No matter what the academy dean said, his only reaction was, "I don't know anything."

final......

Sikong left Theresa's office, and by the time he returned to the faculty and staff dormitory, the moon had already risen slowly.

Kiana and the others had already eaten.

Sikong went back and ate some of the leftovers from Raiden Mei's reheat.

Then something was announced.

"I'll be heading to the Destiny Headquarters the day after tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to accompany you all for the Valkyrie final exams and the Valkyrie level assessments. If I have time, I'll watch your performance via live stream." Sikong looked around and made a gesture. "Good luck, everyone."

"Why? Why did headquarters suddenly...?"

Raiden Mei, still wearing her white apron, frowned. She felt a little dissatisfied with the arrangements made by the Destiny Headquarters. The cook, who had just entered a relationship, was very reluctant to part with Sikong.

this is normal phenomenon.

That's how it is during the honeymoon phase.
