Bronya: Teacher Himeko! I'm Done Pretending to Be Dignified!

The ability to connect to the brain and induce consciousness or other spiritual powers could indeed interfere with these devices.

Fortunately, due to hardware limitations, this interference is not too strong.

For example, Sirin wants to create a Ganesha, but anyone with a brain knows that a training trial program can't possibly completely replicate Emperor-Class Honkai Beast.

Even if Liu Bai doesn't have traffic restrictions, it's still a weakened version.

Neither the computing power nor the output can meet the standard for replicating the Emperor-Class Honkai Beast.

Hmm... wait a minute. If Sirin can achieve this kind of influence, can I go a little further besides limiting traffic?

For example...

Liu Bai gave the hardworking pig, which was beginning to build its skeleton, a strange look.

Using your own account to have someone else play for you?

Chapter 213 Bronya: Himeko- sensei! I've lost all shame!

"... This is really weird."

Kiana, rubbing her shoulder, walked out of the exam room with Bronya Mei.

"What's wrong, Kiana?"

Seeing Kiana's expression, Mei a little curious.

"Were the opponents in this mock exam very strong? I saw that the headmistress and the others seemed quite shocked when you took off the synchronization device."

"Strong... well, not really strong. It was just a big white wild boar, something like Ganesha... that name sounds familiar."

Kiana scratched her head.

"It's just for show, it can't really do anything to me!"

Ganesha...

Mei and Bronya exchanged a glance—they weren't like Kiana, that good-for-nothing academic failure.

This is clearly Emperor-Class Honkai Beast that appeared in history textbooks.

"Isn't that a good thing? Kiana, what are you upset about?"

"Um... actually, I didn't beat that big wild boar at first." Kiana said, inexplicably annoyed. "That big wild boar used to chase me and beat me up—of course, that's not a big deal, since Himeko sometimes chases me and beats me up too."

Mei and Bronya exchanged a few smiles.

They all agreed that Himeko would definitely not be happy to hear this.

"But! But what's most infuriating is that I always felt that wild boar was looking down on me! That look definitely meant that!"

Bronya thinks this is just Kiana's delusion stemming from her unwillingness to admit defeat.

How could a data-generated monster possibly show a look of disdain?

"Is... is that so?"

Kiana hesitated for a moment when she heard Bronya's statement.

After all, her brain isn't a tumor on her neck; she still understands some principles.

For example, the monsters in the simulation training are just a bunch of data.

But on the other hand... Kiana really felt that the Great Honkai Beast's gaze towards her was full of contempt.

Hmm... it seems there's also some pleasure involved?

Kiana has always trusted her intuition.

Surprisingly, Kiana felt like she had seen a similar look in someone else's eyes somewhere before.

Hmm... it was a hazy, confused feeling, but Kiana herself couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Perhaps it was because he lost to that maid and couldn't adjust his mindset in time?

Kiana felt like something was off.

"So, Kiana, how did you win?"

Bronya asked with some curiosity.

"Hmm... you just won while fighting?"

Speaking of this, Kiana was clearly a little insecure.

"Although it's quite big, it's much weaker than I expected... or rather, weaker? Like the high-attack, low-health monsters in the games you play, Bronya?"

Because she's been close to Bronya, Kiana has played quite a few games over the years.

High attack, low health?

Bronya's expression was a little strange. Could Ganesha's physique really be associated with "high attack and low health"?

Kiana's words made Bronya feel that the whole thing was being "handled" (meaning the game was being played unfairly).

"Never mind! As long as I passed the exam, that's all that matters. How about we have a party tonight? I just finished the exam, so I don't have to go to Himeko's for tutoring... although it would be terrible if I failed."

"Party... never mind, I want to get some rest tonight."

"Bronya thinks so too."

Mei and Bronya reached an agreement.

"Are you guys that tired? Um... I feel that way a little too."

Nonsense, it would be strange if someone who fought two rounds of exams and then took a written test didn't feel tired.

Mei and Bronya exchanged a silent glance.

"In that case, let's take a day off... By the way, Kiana, are you confident you can pass the written test?"

"Almost... almost? The AI teacher explained a lot of the questions to me. Well, although I've forgotten a lot of them, passing shouldn't be a problem."

"Kiana, your statement is really unsettling."

Mei was speechless as she watched Kiana laughing foolishly without a care in the world.

(My brother really works very hard...)

Mei thinks that according to Kiana, Liu Bai has already gone so far as to reveal the answer key, right?

Just like university courses, as long as you understand the problems the teacher explains, you can consistently pass...

Kiana has absolutely no awareness of this...

"Hehehe... Mei, don't worry! You'll definitely pass this time!"

"I'll trust you this once."

Mei couldn't muster any anger at Kiana's expression.

Okay, it's not like the silly little sister hasn't seen it before.

... Mei inexplicably thought of Rosalia from the orphanage.

Well...

Mei also felt mentally exhausted.

"... I'm going back to my dorm now. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"Bronya too."

See you tomorrow!

"Call..."

Liu Bai floated beside Himeko, looking refreshed and invigorated.

"I feel like I'm in a good enough mental state to hold out against that brat Kiana for another three or four years."

"... You're really something."

Himeko was grading papers in the office, looked speechless.

"You actually went and beat up students yourself... and you're surprisingly pretty strong?"

"Don't you remember who taught you how to counter Ragna's moves after he finished training you?"

Liu Bai said with great pleasure.

Himeko couldn't find fault with what she said; in fact, her current swordsmanship even showed traces of Liu Bai's style.

"... But no matter what, it's still too much for you to personally beat up Kiana, isn't it?"

"First, I'll let Kiana pass. Second, find Kiana's test paper."

Liu Bai pointed to the scroll in front of Himeko's desk.

"Found it." Himeko found it with a casual flip through the pages.

"Grading papers."

A strange smile appeared on Liu Bai's lips.

"..."

Seeing Liu Bai's attitude, Himeko inexplicably understood something and looked down.

"... Didn't I cover the third question in class yesterday? How could Kiana get it wrong?"

Himeko quickly noticed the cause of her high blood pressure with a single glance.

"There's a sixth question! I even called her into my office to teach her last time. Doesn't this girl have a memory?... Okay, no."

Himeko, who had high blood pressure, silently put the test paper back, then glared at the gloating Liu Bai with displeasure.

"What are you laughing at? You've taught her way more times than I have, haven't you?"

"But I just beat up that brat Kiana today, and that got me some revenge."

Liu Bai said cheerfully, "Besides, didn't she pass the test? I saw it when she took the exam; she barely passed."

"... You've had your fun, but I've got high blood pressure."

Upon hearing the words "card line, "Himeko felt her blood pressure rise another notch.

"You know, if Kiana could remember all the knowledge we taught her..."

"Perfect score—but unfortunately Kiana can't remember it."

Himeko was in charge of the daytime, and Liu Bai was in charge of the nighttime; they really taught him everything that needed to be taught.

"... Next time you beat up Kiana, take me with you."

Himeko felt she wouldn't be able to outlast Kiana at this rate.

"By the way, you still have Kiana's report card, right?" Liu Bai asked abruptly.

"... Everyone's here, what do you want to do?" Himeko felt that Liu Bai was a bit out of touch.

Is this a side effect of releasing stress?

"Send a copy to Siegfried —since you can't alleviate the pain, then inflict pain on more people."

Liu Bai had an expression that said, "I'm the one who's having fun."

... Isn't this already considered taking revenge on society?

"... Don't upset a middle-aged person who's down on their luck."

Himeko could tell that Liu Bai was clearly a little out of his mind because he was too happy.

Moreover, Siegfried doesn't seem to be the type to prioritize grades.

... But even so, seeing Kiana's report card with all her failing grades would probably raise your blood pressure, right?

After all, not valuing grades and not caring about one's daughter are two different things.

"Alright, let's stop grading the papers here for today."

After this whole thing, Himeko's work enthusiasm dropped significantly—although Himeko herself didn't have much of that stuff.

"But then again, I thought you would say a few words to Rita, but you really didn't say a word."
