Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

Then I was called to the principal's office.

I didn't have time to grab my bag, so I couldn't take any photos of Theresa in her everyday clothes, which is a real shame.

"Ahem," Theresa cleared her throat, standing on the chair and looking down at Bai Yan, "Your recent exam results have been outstanding, and you've become a role model throughout the school. You must guard against arrogance and complacency, and not let your guard down easily."

"The headmaster is right."

Bai Yan was somewhat puzzled; Theresa's style was nothing like her own.

“Therefore,” Theresa’s gaze sharpened, “in order to better help you make up for your shortcomings, after discussing it with Teacher Himeko, we believe that outstanding students like you should be given more care and encouragement.”

Bai Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Fu Hua!

Bang! The door was opened.

A gray-haired female student wearing glasses walked straight in.

"From today onwards, you must help this student and strive to raise her practical course grades to the school average."

"Yes, Headmaster!"

Fu Hua pushed up his glasses and walked up to Bai Yan: "Bai Yan, please guide me in the future."

Bai Yan felt as if the pressure from her serious attitude was as great as Mount Taixu.

Theresa smiled, her cherry-like mouth even forming an "ω" shape.

She thought to herself: Now you won't have the chance to spend all your time with Kiana.

Moreover, there is nothing wrong with what she did.

What? Kiana can't study properly without her?

Then let me ask you, didn't Kiana affect Bai Yan's actual combat performance and hinder her progress?

She, the principal of Theresa Academy, is impartial and treats all students equally, never showing favoritism towards any particular student just because they are her niece!

As for Kiana, she has other plans, so don't worry about it!

Bai Yan and Fu Hua met eyes, but Bai Yan did not receive any other information besides Shan.

Clearly, Fu Hua herself was unaware of her own identity; she had done a good job of keeping it a secret...

Now, practical training has become Bai Yan's biggest headache.

This act is not easy to perform. Unless experienced figures like Otto and Fu Hua are not watching closely, it is difficult for someone of their level of expertise not to be seen through.

Perhaps Jingliu could offer some suitable advice, or even teach me a quick and easy ultimate technique that I can just unleash at the crucial moment.

I need to find Master Jingliu tonight.

Volume 1: Chapter 23: Fu Hua: Numb, but it's alright.

The only exit was closed, and only Fu Hua and Bai Yan were in the room.

The immortal, who had lived a second life, looked at the test results of the simulated battle, and black lines covered his entire forehead.

59 points, 59 points, 59 points...

Attitude is the mask of the heart.

Miss Bai Yan took out her makeup box and was touching up her makeup, carefully repairing the parts that had been scratched by the equipment.

He crossed his legs and swayed them gently without any restraint, secretly observing Fu Hua's reaction while applying his makeup.

The immortal seems to have already reached a reddish-brown hue.

Encountering such a formidable opponent, Fu Hua's expression was on the verge of collapse.

Bai Yan looked at the makeup mirror and secretly glanced at her a few times.

Alas, his resolve is not stable; the elderly are still too restless.

"Bai Yan, you..."

"What? The test is over. From now on, I'll be a C-rank Valkyrie in charge of logistics. Also, please don't look at me like that. I don't like your type. Now!"

"And putting aside the facts, are C-rank Valkyries inherently inferior?!"

"The C-rank Valkyries are also fighting against the Honkai, it's just that they have different roles."

"..."

Fu Hua has never been this speechless.

"Your abilities are clearly more than this, why do you have to do this?"

Bai Yan raised his eyebrows.

I closed the makeup box, took my bag, and stuffed it inside.

Miss Bai Yan stood up, carrying her bag.

"I'm leaving now if there's nothing else."

"Wait a moment!"

Bai Yan slapped her hand away with a look of disgust and said disdainfully, "Men and women should not touch each other. Don't get handsy."

Fu Hua felt as if she had been punched in the chest.

"Oh...you're a girl? Sorry, I didn't notice earlier. Don't mind." Bai Yan suddenly realized and waved his hand casually.

Fu Hua: -_-#

"Hey, the test is over, can I go now?"

"Give up on me, I'm really not cut out for this. You should focus your energy on other promising talents, like Kiana, who's quite good."

"She's the headmistress's niece, and a warrior of the Kaslana family. With just a little guidance, she can undergo a qualitative change..."

Fu Hua quickly suppressed her negative emotions and said calmly, "No, I think Bai Yan has quite amazing potential and is no less than Kiana."

She pushed up her glasses, carefully examined the other person as if confirming her judgment, and then nodded in deep agreement.

Bai Yan's glasses were dazzled by the reflection from her lenses. He turned his head and said, "Doesn't the martial arts of Shenzhou emphasize temperament?"

"I'll help you hone your skills."

"I can't keep going."

"I'll find a way."

"I hate having a flat body. Can you change it before you come back?"

"???"

Bai Yan felt completely numb, so he simply attacked directly.

"Glasses, a braid, and such unfashionable clothes—I feel like being around you makes me look bad, so please move aside, I'm leaving."

Fu Hua is even more confused.

However, she withstood these words with unwavering will and remained standing at the door.

"This is the headmaster's order."

They actually took Theresa's words seriously?!

If Bai Yan didn't know a little about her personality, he would have suspected that she had other ideas.

Bai Yan sat back down, pondered for a moment, and sent a message to Kiana.

He feigned a sigh, and after a brief standoff, said to Fu Hua, "Let's practice, let's practice. What should we start with?"

Fu Hua breathed a sigh of relief and then began to systematically plan the tutoring program.

However, just as the two were beginning...

bump!

The door was suddenly kicked open, and Kiana strode in with a nonchalant air.

"Xiao Yan, what did you call me over here for—uh, class monitor?"

Both pairs of eyes turned to Bai Yan at the same time, but the latter remained calm and composed.

"Mmm, much better," he said, looking refreshed. "I can only train properly with Kiana by my side; otherwise, it's incredibly uncomfortable."

Fu Hua glanced at Kiana's braids: "Doesn't she have braids too?"

"But Kiana's white hair is very pretty."

"..."

Kiana, not understanding what the two were talking about, asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, so the headmaster made me take extra combat lessons, but I can only practice properly with Kiana around..."

As he spoke, he gave Kiana a look.

Regardless of Kiana's interpretation, she gave Kiana a knowing look.

Bai Yan turned to Fu Hua with satisfaction and said, "Let's practice together."

Fu Hua thought about it and realized that they were all problem students, so as the class monitor, she had no reason to refuse.

She nodded and said, "Okay."

night.

Kiana helped Bai Yan upstairs slowly.

"That class monitor is pretty good, he's almost as good as me; but Xiaoyan, you really need to train more, you're already like this after just a short while."

Bai Yan's lips twitched, and he forced a smile: "Yeah, yeah."

The phrase "on par" means that she was the bull the whole time, while Fu Hua was the matador the whole time.

Bai Yan himself had anticipated this, but he hadn't expected his problem to be so serious.

Previously, he only learned swordsmanship from Kagami-ryu and paid no attention to physical fitness or strength; but with Kagami-ryu's level of skill, he wouldn't care about such things at all.

Since you've learned my swordsmanship, you must be practicing standing meditation every day, right?

Bai Yan was helped into the room and lay down on the bed, intending to rest for a while before going to see Master Jingliu.

The next moment, Kiana lay down next to him.

"Whew—that was a really good fight today!"

She turned to Bai Yan and said, "Xiao Yan, do you think if things continue like this, I'll be able to become an A-level soon?"

"I think it's possible."

"Hehe... Ever since I arrived in St. Freya, I've felt pretty happy every day, except for the fact that I'm always getting scolded by Aunt Himeko."

Bai Yan sighed inwardly, thinking that she really should change the way she addressed her as "Auntie".

"Mom" is okay, but "Auntie" isn't, just like "Dad" is okay, but "Uncle" isn't.

The reason is the same.

I'll correct her later; I'm not in the mood today.

Kiana casually moved closer to Bai Yan, took his arm, and rubbed against him.

"But she hasn't said much about me lately. Xiaoyan is really great."

“No, Qi Bao is great too,” Bai Yan said, feeling the soft, bouncy sensation on his side. He steadied himself before continuing, “I feel like if Qi Bao is here, I won’t be afraid even if I’m surrounded by Honkai Beasts.”

"Hehehe, don't worry, I will definitely protect Xiaoyan when the time comes."

As she spoke, Kiana simply wrapped her arms around Bai Yan's waist and nuzzled her head against his neck, in an extremely intimate manner.

The hot breath blew in, but quickly calmed down.

Bai Yan was about to speak when he turned around and found that the other person had already closed their eyes.

"Wait, how did you fall asleep so quickly?"

Looking at the time again, it was almost time to meet with Kagami.

I tried to move, but found that I was being held very tightly and couldn't break free.
