How About You Call Me "Teacher"?

Kiana let out a happy sigh.

It's so delicious... This porridge is definitely better than what my dad makes.

Kiana was somewhat unwilling, but the facts were undeniable.

"Alright, now that we've regained our strength, it's time to run!"

Kiana put the iron pot back in its place, patted her slightly bulging belly, and her fighting spirit rose again.

"Are you full?"

The sudden sound made Kiana deflate again.

"Um... what, Himeko?"

"... It's Murata Himeko."

Himeko's playful expression instantly turned speechless upon hearing Kiana's words.

Your own name shouldn't be hard to remember, right?

This girl can be surprisingly infuriating.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter what happens in that kind of thing! Are you going to block my way?"

"Uh-huh?"

Kiana's fearless and bold attitude almost made Himeko laugh.

If it were the golden-eyed Sirin standing in front of her right now, she would definitely turn around and leave.

But you're just a young girl...

Himeko pouted – judging from this expression alone, the two of them were about the same in a way as annoying people.

"You look down on me?"

Himeko's expression was so obvious that Kiana immediately bristled like a wildcat.

"Uh-huh."

The identical humming sounds directly revealed Himeko's attitude.

"You bastard..."

Kiana gritted her teeth in annoyance.

... Is this guy a cat?

Himeko stretched, feeling completely relaxed.

"What's wrong, little wildcat? Are you going to pounce on me?"

"Who's the little wildcat?!" Kiana continued to bristle—yes, that's exactly how she looks like she's looking for a wildcat.

"I think it should be a white kitten."

Liu Bai kindly corrected him.

There's absolutely no need for a stray cat and a white cat to have any connection, right?

Himeko thought to herself, while Kiana finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Even without her dual pistols, Kiana charged straight at the unsuspecting Himeko.

The Kaslana family's Gun Kata of physical combat is also quite strong.

"She's already quite good at this level for her age."

Liu Bai commented on the scene of Kiana attacking Himeko.

He had previously obtained a certain level of Gun Kata from Bianka for free, and even taught them to Sue.

However, Bianka doesn't use dual pistols much anymore in the future.

"That's still a newbie."

Himeko instantly anticipated Kiana's movements and swiftly knocked her to the ground.

Thump.

"???"

What just happened?

In the blink of an eye, Kiana, lying on the ground, began to question the meaning of life.

Isn't this script wrong?

Shouldn't she have easily dealt with this Wuliangta thing who looked down on her?

Then I fought my way out of this St. Freya Academy...

... Could it be that this guy is actually very strong?

No, no, no, this person doesn't have any of the strong demeanor of the man in Dad's stories at all, okay?

"Hmm... that's a good expression, kid."

Himeko revealed a rather wicked smile.

"Let me introduce myself again, Murata Himeko, your teacher for... perhaps many years to come, or one of your teachers."

"..."

Kiana's eyelids twitched.

A teacher or something... Is this woman serious?

"Consider today my first lesson for you."

Himeko's smile grew increasingly sinister.

"—Avoid strenuous exercise after meals."

Kiana: "?_??"

Chapter 201 Call Me Teacher, Let Me Hear You?

Ring ring~~

Just as Himeko was giving Kiana her first lesson, which she didn't quite understand, a melodious and cheerful bell suddenly rang throughout the academy.

"Oh, class is over." Himeko looked out the window.

"... Class dismissed?" Kiana tilted her head.

Because Siegfried would teach her a lot of common sense from time to time, Kiana wasn't as clueless as a caveman about what it meant to go to class or leave class, but hearing it with her own ears still gave her a strange feeling.

"Never heard of it?"

Himeko looked at Kiana sitting on the ground.

When I was her age... well, age comes first.

This child is completely different from me.

"I've heard of it, but... it feels quite strange, it sounds even better than what Dad said?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the school bell is definitely the most beautiful sound in the world," Himeko couldn't help but agree.

"Hey, Himeko, you're a teacher now."

Liu Bai reminded him.

"How about we learn how to ignore the bell and go overtime, then assign double the amount of homework and emphasize that we've assigned very little, and then tell a student who forgot their homework, 'If you didn't bring it, you didn't do it,' or 'You're the worst class I've ever taught,' and so on?"

"... What kind of demon are you?"

There are just too many flaws in what you said.

"Are you a little bit dark inside?"

"No, this is a tradition."

"This guy has 'I want to take revenge on society' written all over his face! And he even came up with a high-sounding reason!"

"Um... who are you talking to?"

Kiana looked at the woman named Murata Himeko with a strange expression.

This guy... could he have something wrong with his head?

Yes, after being knocked to the ground, Kiana remembered Himeko's name.

... This temperament is really like that of a wildcat.

"No, it's nothing."

Himeko turned her gaze back with a slight change of interest.

To be honest, Himeko felt quite pleased after taking down Kiana and seeing Kiana shocked expression.

Cough cough, no, no, I'm going to be a teacher in the future, how can I let Liu Bai lead me astray?

Himeko immediately corrected her mindset.

And speaking of which, Liu Bai is actually quite good at teaching people, isn't he?

Back when Ji Zi was pursuing her doctoral degree in university, Liu Bai taught Himeko a lot, so Himeko had a clear understanding of Liu Bai's teaching abilities.

Top-tier, the really top-tier kind—a renowned tutor who revolves around you 24/7 and doubles as your nanny.

"Since Kiana is interested in the school, how about I take you for a walk around?"

"Take a stroll..."

Kiana's face lit up with excitement—for her now, the outside world was full of surprises.

And maybe we can find a chance to escape... although it seems like they really didn't kidnap me?

"Okay, okay!"

"Himeko, remember to keep an eye on this child," Liu Bai reminded Kiana, whose eyes were sparkling. "This child might be the kind who disappears the moment she's distracted."

After all, in the original timeline, Kiana spent two years traveling from Europe to Asia alone after Siegfried left—what kind of incredible drive is that for a little girl?

"I can tell."

Himeko nodded.

This girl is a spitting image of Rita from back then.

"What did you see?" Kiana asked, looking puzzled as Himeko suddenly started talking to herself again.

"I can tell you're a little idiot." Himeko chuckled. "Alright, remember to stick close to me. Like I said, if you get lost, I won't be able to find you."

"Oh..."

Kiana nodded, patted her bottom, stood up, and obediently followed behind Himeko.

However, as soon as they stepped outside, Himeko and Kiana encountered Ragna, who was accompanied by a girl and carrying luggage.

"The child is awake?"

Ragna gave Kiana a gentle smile—clearly, Ragna was much more approachable than Himeko.

Kiana cautiously took a step back, but nodded in response.

"It's awake, a little wildcat, completely different from Rita."

Himeko ruffled Kiana's white hair.

"Speaking of which, Captain, the person next to you..."

"Wendy."

Ragna patted the girl next to him on the shoulder, and the girl then showed a shy expression.

"She was the class monitor in Principal Theresa's class, but now she's the class monitor in mine."

"Uh... what do you mean?" Himeko was a little confused.

"That means we've been divided into classes. Principal Theresa will be in charge of one class, I'll be in charge of another, Himeko, you'll be in charge of the third—by the way, Kiana has been assigned to your class."

"Uh... I thought they would stick to the original teaching method and I would be the teacher..."
