Chapter 158 Who is she?
After the meal, Kiana led the group on a tour of Theresa's residence, which included Theresa's private training room.
"This is a special training room for Aunt Flo, and it's said to be several times more effective than the ones we usually use! Although I haven't seen Aunt Flo use it much myself."
"As expected of the headmaster's training room, the equipment feels very advanced."
Although Raiden Mei didn't understand what was so impressive about it, she still exclaimed that it was amazing. Bronya, on the other hand, was preoccupied with something else. She had just received a limited edition Hoomei body pillow from Theresa, which was now in her hands.
Qiong immediately started touching the control panel, almost pressing the buttons one by one. But just as Qiong was about to touch the switch, Kiana stopped him.
"Grey Fur, you can't touch this thing! If you mess with it, its period will get angry."
"Ok."
Qiong pouted. It was rare for something that looked so high-tech to pique his curiosity, but Kiana jumped out to stop him from exploring further... No fun.
"Kiana, how could you say that to me? I, the headmistress, train all the time, you know! I've just been a bit busy lately!"
"Auntie, you heard that? When did you get your period?"
Outside the training room, a furious Theresa walked in. Kiana was somewhat embarrassed for being caught talking behind someone's back.
To be honest, is Theresa busy? The answer is definitely yes. For example, Kiana often sees Theresa engrossed in reading comics…
"Auntie, I was just joking."
Theresa, who highly values her non-existent authority as a school principal, is extremely unhappy about people talking badly about her behind her back. But what can she do when it's her niece who's talking badly about her?
Theresa glared at Kiana helplessly.
"Alright, alright, we're already here. How about we try out the headmaster's training room?"
"Auntie, don't you usually tell me not to use it?"
"If you're not capable enough and no one's supervising you, that definitely won't work!"
Walking to the control panel, Theresa looked at the four people. Kiana would definitely agree, but as for the other three...
Bronya?
Bronya didn't say anything. She reluctantly put down Houmei and went to the center of the training room.
Raiden Mei nodded as well.
Theresa turned her gaze to Sora, who had already put on her hat and picked up her baseball bat.
"Come on, my bat is itching for a fight!"
Theresa pressed a few buttons, and the training room instantly became an empty space.
"Let me tell you first, this training room will read your brainwaves, which means it will search for powerful enemies from your memories! After all, you're still children... so let's start with the simplest things!"
Upon hearing this, Qiong immediately thought of four words.
Online mode.
"Qiong, what's wrong?"
The instrument showed violent fluctuations in the brainwaves of Theresa, which seemed a bit strange.
"Headmaster, shouldn't there be a limit of three people allowed in this kind of training room?"
After all, shouldn't a Valkyrie team be limited to three people?
"Who told you that? Theoretically, a dozen people could do it, okay?"
"Oh, then I must have made a mistake."
After everyone took their positions, the training room slowly activated. With a flash of light, a group of Assault-class Honkai Beasts appeared in the open space.
"It feels pretty much the same as taking an exam! It's just that I'm not wearing a helmet!"
Upon seeing the Honkai Beasts appear, Kiana was the first to rush forward, continuously firing her dual pistols at the Honkai Beasts charging at the forefront.
Bronya then summoned Heavy Bunny to assist Kiana in clearing out the Honkai Beasts with artillery fire.
The Honkai Beasts kept surging in, their numbers increasing. But as long as Kiana stood in front and Bronya fired from behind, not even a mosquito could get through. Meanwhile, the melee fighters, Sora and Raiden, could relax and take a break.
"Isn't this just using a cannon to kill a mosquito? A formidable enemy? A bunch of mosquitoes don't even deserve it!"
Not long after, the last Honkai Beast fell and turned into specks of light, disappearing from sight.
From beginning to end, no Honkai Beast could get close. Qiong just wore a hat and jumped around a couple of times in the back, slacking off until the end.
Qiong scoffed at this, thinking that any one of the four of them could easily clear the level with a swarm of Mosquitoes of the Rush level.
This is a very simple field that you must fill in.
Theresa naturally heard Qiong's words, which she considered to be incredibly arrogant.
"Young man, do not underestimate your enemy. Although the simulated enemy is far inferior to the real one, but..."
"Huh? No wonder it was so easy. So this is an enemy that even a group of Rush-class Honkai Beasts can't compare to. Auntie, bring on the real deal, don't underestimate us!"
Theresa crossed her arms in exasperation. These brats, so full of themselves… they're bound to suffer! Anyway, with her watching over them, nothing would go wrong. Theresa immediately switched to the control panel, turning the difficulty to the maximum!
"Then I'll do it for real!"
She had tried this difficulty level before, and the monsters that came out were Emperor-level Honkai Beasts like Ganesha, Parvati, and Lava Emperor. Back then, when she wasn't particularly strong, she was once beaten to a pulp by simulated Emperor-level Honkai Beasts at this level.
"Hehe, don't blame Aunt Flo for not warning you, don't get beaten up and cry next time!"
"Wow, that's blinding! Let me see what this is—a monster?"
Judging by the intensity of the light, this light is even more dazzling, and the resulting Honkai Beasts must be even stronger.
However, nothing happened. When the light faded, a silver-haired girl with blue and pink eyes appeared in front of the four of them.
Kiana's eyes widened, Bronya put away her Heavy Bunny, and Raiden Mei instinctively dropped her knife and grabbed Sora.
They knew each other, or rather, they all knew this seemingly delicate and innocent girl, Liu Ying.
The three families all looked at Qiong in unison, their eyes conveying a clear message: You consider this kind of girl a formidable enemy?
Qiong: ...
"Auntie, your machine must be broken from not using it for so long!"
"How is this possible? Why would Qiong's subconscious mind see this girl as an enemy? Has she really gone mad?"
While Theresa was still checking the control panel, Qiong was already in a state of utter confusion.
"Qiong, aren't you going to introduce your friend?"
"Forehead……"
Bronya keenly noticed the expression on Qiong's face—three parts embarrassment, two parts anxiety, five parts helplessness, and ninety parts confusion—and knew something was definitely wrong.
Brother Qiong and this girl are not simple.
Qiong didn't react to anything anyone else said, because the rhythm of "deng deng deng deng deng deng" was already playing in his head...
"It's you, it really is you. But who are they?"
The three did not regard the suddenly appearing firefly as a major enemy, and were more interested in questioning Qiong "who she is". Perhaps because they were ignored, the simulated firefly seemed unhappy.
Such a good opportunity immediately piqued Kiana's interest, who already had some ideas.
"Hello beautiful, I'm Kiana Kaslana, the one with the gray fur—"
Kiana waved to the fireflies with a grin, but received no response.
"A sea patrol knight, and..."
Although her voice was very sweet, Qiong suddenly had a bad feeling.
A sword suddenly appeared in Liu Ying's hand.
Suddenly, Firefly, wielding a longsword, lightly swung it towards Kiana's neck. Kiana was terrified and quickly retreated to dodge.
"Hey, hey, don't hit me!"
Kiana's shouts had no effect; Firefly completely ignored her, her eyes fixed on Sora, who was being held by Mei.
"Kiana, this is a simulation in the training room, of course it will hit you!"
Taking a sip of bitter melon juice, it seems there's something wrong with my training room; there's a problem with the level parameters.
How could the most formidable enemy be such a delicate young girl?
Why are you holding her?
However, being able to see what's inside Qiong's head is an unexpected bonus, isn't it?
Qiong, whose legs were inexplicably trembling, wanted to explain, though explaining to a simulated data entity was of no use.
"Fireflies—"
"So she's Miss Liuying?"
Raiden Mei smiled at Hotaru. Even though it was a simulated person, Raiden Mei felt she should take it seriously.
"Hello, Ms. Ryuki, I am Sora's girlfriend, Raiden Mei."
"Girlfriend?"
The girl in front of them didn't cry and shout "I was here first!" or rush over with a sword saying "I'll stab you to death!" as others had expected. Instead, she put the sword away.
But the tension was building, and even the battle-hardened Bronya sensed something was off. The person in front of her was far too calm. Just to be safe, she summoned Heavy Bunny again and hid behind Mei. Mei, standing in front of Bronya, had been ready to clash with the crazed Firefly at any moment, but she was quite surprised to see Firefly sheathe her sword.
Surrendered? That was the first reaction of everyone except Bronya and Sora.
"Leaving him will ensure no one gets hurt, otherwise..."
Firefly sheathed her sword and instead revealed the Sam transformation device. Qiong felt her hands begin to tremble; she shouldn't be afraid… was it just an unconscious tremor?
If this weren't a real-world simulation, Raiden Mei would have easily discovered this.
"You will all die!"

I've been so busy these past few days... so it's understandable that I'm taking a break, right? (Hehe!)
