Collapse Iron: Today's mount is the female protagonist.

Page 7

Miss Death Knight didn't do anything to the groping hands; she simply pulled the man up from the ground and nodded slightly to him.

Then... he twirled his weapon, and the scythe was placed against his own neck.

Kiana: "?"

The next moment, Kiana's sharp screech echoed through the stadium.

"Woooooo~~"

Inside the stadium, Kiana was holding the gradually dissipating body of the assassin girl, crying her heart out with tears in her eyes.

"What are you doing?" Qi Shi asked speechlessly as he returned to the other person's consciousness space.

"That was just a suicide soldier; it didn't even have vocal cords."

Clearly, it was the assassin he controlled that saved Kiana. When he possessed the assassin, he also gained two abilities, and...

But they are not very useful.

He's no blank slate. Upon arriving in the original world, he immediately possessed Kiana, the female protagonist of Honkai Impact 3, and the future Herrscher of the End.

Even though the story hasn't started yet, it still stands at the pinnacle of this world, possessing various powerful abilities.

[Honkai Power: Herrscher of the Void], [Honkai Link Permission], [Imaginary Gate], you start with a max-level account.

Kiana possesses exceptional talent in Honkai energy adaptability and control, which is why Kiana is not particularly eager to possess low-level Honkai beasts.

They don't even look at them; all they have are higher-ups.

"I know, but can't you be a little gentler?" Qi Maomao got up from the ground, looking aggrieved and pitiful.

Do you know how much psychological trauma that scene just now caused to a Kiana?

Good news, she seems to have found love again; bad news, the love ended before it even began.

"I didn't say anything when I cut myself, but you're already offering your opinions. What happened to your devoted idiot persona? Didn't you always say 'I love Mei the most'? How come you've already fallen for someone else so quickly?" Qi Shi teased.

I'm not stupid!

Kiana immediately wanted to retort in anger.

But after hearing what the other person said, she suddenly realized that yes, it was Qi Shi who saved her during the crisis, and the assassin was also controlled by Qi Shi.

There was no female assassin.

So, the person she fell in love with at first sight must be Qi Shi.

Kiana's cheeks immediately flushed red, and she quickly dismissed the idea.

No, no, no, that's absolutely not true. I was just a little distracted!

"I... of course Mei is my favorite! Don't talk nonsense!" Kiana stammered, covering her burning cheeks, her eyes darting around as she tried to defend herself.

Oh? I don't believe it.

"Really?" Qi Shi asked.

"What? I... I don't understand what you're saying. I'm a little hungry. I'm going home!" Kiana couldn't hold on any longer, blushing and stammering as she tried to change the subject.

Qi Shi merely let out a cryptic laugh, making Kiana's cheeks flush even redder as she fled in an even more disheveled state.

After finishing work, I went home for dinner.

Kiana quickly regained her energetic self, though her cheeks were slightly flushed. After resolving the crisis that threatened Changkong City, the two finished work and went home.

Before leaving, Qi Shi's gaze pierced through countless walls and saw a secret room hidden deep within the stadium, a huge sealed vessel radiating a deep purple light, filled with concentrated Honkai energy.

The non-cutting-edge, even somewhat careless, disposable sealing device has already leaked slightly, and Honkai energy is infiltrating everything around it.

However, in the end he said nothing and left as if he hadn't seen anything.

Chapter 10 Kiana: Mei must care about me! Mei likes me!

Time flies by.

They go to school together every morning, have lunch with Mei at noon, fight to protect the peace of Changkong City after school, and play games with Qi Shi in the evening.

But Mei, with her sensitive heart, witnessed all these changes in her daily life, leaving her in a dilemma.

The two girls ate together on the rooftop, just like every day.

Kiana was as energetic as ever, her eyes squinting happily as her fork kept falling into her lunchbox.

He fed Mei a bite, then fed himself a bite, then fed himself a bite (Kiana), then fed himself a bite (Kiana), completely immersed in the feeding play.

So here's the question: if the person being fed is oneself, can it still be considered feeding play?

Looking at her from across the table, Mei hesitated several times before finally speaking up.

Kiana, you seem to have changed a lot lately.

"Ah? Is there any?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana, who was eating lunch, stopped what she was doing and looked puzzled, as if she hadn't felt anything at all.

Has anything changed? She's always been the same.

Kiana, who dominates the skies, is still as righteous and as cool as ever, a super beautiful girl who combines beauty, cuteness, and power.

The only change was that she felt she was more dashing than before, handling crises with ease and appearing more like a hero.

Mei hesitated for a moment, but having already spoken, she suppressed her disappointment, pursed her lips, and mustered the courage to ask the question that was on her mind.

"Kiana, have you made some new friends outside?"

"Huh?" Kiana was completely stunned.

"Of course not, I love Mei the most, I don't have any other friends. These days I've been going out to protect you as usual, it's all just chivalrous behavior to help others. Mei, you have to believe my sincerity!"

Upon hearing Mei's words, she immediately began to clarify her situation, adopting a serious demeanor, as if she had never met any vixens outside. In her hasty explanation, she almost let slip the truth.

Mei was taken aback. She could tell that Kiana wasn't lying; Kiana really hadn't made any friends outside. She hadn't expected this to be the result of her worrying for so long. It seemed that she had been overthinking and worrying for nothing.

As for the topic that Kiana accidentally let slip and then quickly covered up, she didn't pursue it further.

Raiden Mei had known for a long time that Kiana was somewhat mysterious. When she was rescued during their first encounter, she felt that Kiana's temperament was like that of a knight from a legend.

The girl who goes to school with him every day is actually a pure white shooting star guarding Changkong City in the dark night. That's... kind of cool.

Mei, who is a bit of a chuunibyou at heart, has completely accepted this setting, but she actually prefers characters like the Judgment Queen, Blood Moon Blade, and Raven Reaper.

However, Mei was still a little worried and asked again.

"Kiana, you haven't met any strange people online, have you? You can't just believe what people say online; you have to be careful."

Although she felt it wasn't right to interrogate her like this, as if she were investigating an affair, she couldn't help but ask.

If such a thing really happens, as a friend, she should have a responsibility to keep an eye on things.

Yes, she was just concerned as a friend, to prevent Kiana from being deceived by some shady character. That's right, it's something a friend should care about.

The moment this thought crossed Mei's mind, she immediately found a reason to justify it.

Kiana tilted her head, then immediately shook her head and waved her hand.

"No, no, that's even more impossible, Mei! I wouldn't talk to just anyone."

She wouldn't possibly get to know any random online acquaintances.

There were some gamers who reported her, but when she was using her cheat to gank lower-ranked players, many of them were so frustrated by the attacks that they reported her, even wanting to add her as a friend and verbally abuse her family. As a result, Kiana didn't accept any of their reports.

Honestly, Mei is overthinking things. She's not a child; she wouldn't get to know just anyone. The only person she's been in contact with lately is Qi Shi.

Thinking this to herself, Kiana wasn't angry at all. Seeing Mei's caring and concerned expression, she felt overjoyed.

Mei must care about me! Mei likes me!

"No, no?"

Is nobody here...? That's good.

Upon hearing the answer, Mei realized she had been overthinking things and was completely relieved. She even felt a little happy when she learned the answer.

No, no, how could she be happy that Kiana didn't make any other friends? That's so wrong of her.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Mei immediately shut herself off.

But if that's not the case, then what caused the changes during this period?

Thinking that she would need to be more careful in the future, Mei ended the conversation.

Although doubts remained, once the worries subsided, lunch became as enjoyable as before, a peaceful moment that the two finished eating while chatting intimately.

The teacher was lecturing on today's lesson, and Kiana was sitting at her desk, her eyes glued to the screen, seemingly listening intently.

My thoughts had actually been wandering for a while.

However, she is indeed learning, and is learning from Qi Shi.

After this period of time, having mastered the advanced use of Honkai energy, Kiana's combat skills improved rapidly. Qi Shi could clearly see every bit of her progress, because these improvements would also be reflected in him, causing his own power to continuously grow stronger.

As for her knowledge level, it's hard to describe. Compared to her dedication and enthusiasm in combat, she's a complete academic failure when it comes to knowledge; she gets dizzy and lightheaded just looking at a textbook.

Kiana had been a wanderer for a long time, and it was obvious that even Chiba Academy didn't know how she got in.

During his life as a wanderer, he naturally had no opportunity to learn, and his progress fell far behind.

Qi Shi is giving her extra lessons.

With such meticulous care, Kiana felt like she was becoming a useless person.

Kiana: Qi Shi, I can't live without you anymore.

Although Qi Shi himself had little teaching experience and studied economics in college, which had nothing to do with education, it didn't matter; he had a cheat code.

He wandered among the teachers at Chiba Academy and also visited several nearby universities, absorbing a great deal of knowledge.

Through his unremitting efforts and hard work, when he returned, he was already a Grand Perfection of the Ninth Star of the Teaching Master, a learned and erudite professor of all subjects.

He directly took over the other party's learning plan for the next ten years, which moved Kiana to tears.

Qi Shi: Every drop of sweat earned Kiana's 'moved' tears, it was worth it.

Kiana: Listen to me, thank you.
