You Have a New Job (Continued)
Kiana has mastered an incredible skill, usually the kind of ability possessed by mental Fusion Warrior or Herrscher. However, considering her record of mastering the Sword God in just a few months in another timeline, it doesn't seem so unbelievable. She does have this talent; it's just that no one helped her discover it in the past.
Anqi took control of the body, ostensibly bickering with Kiana, but actually carefully sensing every detail of the body to confirm that everything was healthy and that the little idiot's spirits were also good before she felt relieved.
No, I'm not completely at ease yet.
"Hmph! Speechless now? She already said she was just a projection of your memory, yet you still can't forget her. You really are an idiot."
"The Babylon Experiment Tower and the childhood Sirin in your Dreamscape are also projections of memories. I didn't see you being very calm."
Kiana replied curtly.
"!!!"
Anqi's eyes widened, a hint of astonishment showing in Kiana's golden eyes.
No, the kitten has learned to bite?
If Sirin were here, wouldn't she jump up and down in anger at what he said?
"She said she wasn't the real Anqi, and rationally I know it couldn't be, but I still feel... Anyway, I will remember how I felt then, and I will never let such a thing happen in the real world. Okay, that's enough time. If you want to experience the real world more, we can discuss it later. Now I have to go see Mei; I can't let everyone worry about me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Anqi sensed Kiana's mental power activating, intending to forcibly seize control of the body.
To be honest, the technique was very crude, relying entirely on instinct to attack, and such mental strength was far too weak for Anqi.
But after her initial shock, a smile appeared in Anqi's eyes as she let Kiana push her back into the depths of her mind without any resistance.
"Snort!"
Leaving behind an unfriendly snort, Anqi stopped bothering Kiana.
Kiana, having regained control of her body, stumbled a couple of steps, then steadied herself by grabbing the sink. Looking up, she saw in the mirror a pair of beautiful heterochromatic eyes, one gold and one blue.
"This is..."
The power of the Herrscher?
Kiana touched the golden pupils in the mirror, lost in thought, then turned and reached out towards the water glass on the table outside.
Space distortion.
A water glass appeared in her hand a few steps away.
Kiana blinked, drank the water, and then used the same method to put the glass back in mid-air.
"Magic."
Kiana commented.
She had experienced spatial powers before, in the previous world of Stigmata, and even in her past dreams of welfare.
In reality, this was my first time experiencing it, but I was very skilled and comfortable with it, all thanks to the various exercises in my dreams.
Kiana looked in the mirror and blinked again; her golden pupil quickly returned to its normal sky blue color.
She rubbed her cheeks, and after a while, she finally smiled.
"Whether it's the real Anqi or the fake Anqi, I know you'd prefer me to keep smiling, right? Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. We promised each other we'd face things bravely... Even though it seems you broke your promise, I don't mind. I'll keep my vow to the end. After all, we're best friends."
"Stupid!"
"Are you jealous of me? I remember you didn't have any friends, you were so lonely that you created Honkai Beast as your friends."
Are you out of your mind?!
Kiana heard the Herrscher of the Void's seemingly broken defenses shouting in her mind, but she smiled slightly, went out to change out of her hospital gown, and prepared to be discharged, not caring how that guy was roaring in the mental world.
'Serves you right for always avoiding me and arguing with me! You deserve to be so angry!'
Kiana thought to herself with a sense of peace, and her gloomy mood suddenly brightened a little.
She stood by the door, took a few deep breaths to compose herself, then pushed the door open and suddenly hugged Raiden Mei tightly, a radiant smile on her face.
"Mei, why are you being so formal? Actually, I don't mind you standing inside looking at me. What kind of relationship do we have? Is there anything about me that you can't see, right? Hehe!"
Kiana... stop joking!
The proud Thunder Queen, however, seemed unusually thin-skinned in front of this shameless white furball.
Kiana's ambiguous words and the infatuated look in her eyes as she rubbed against her chest made Raiden Mei blush instantly, revealing a pure and shy girlish charm.
Bronya reached out at the opportune moment and punched Kiana on the head with her little fist.
"You stupid Cabbage Worm, don't act like a hooligan outside and cause trouble for Mei."
"Hey! What business is it of yours, you little shorty, if Mei and I are just being affectionate? Do you live by the sea or something? Why are you being so nosy?"
"From a purely rational perspective, Mother Cocolia is currently living on the East Sea Base, Bronya does indeed live by the sea."
The double-helix Bronya crosses its arms over its chest, stands upright with its head tilted back, and has no expression on its face.
Kiana choked for a moment, then hugged Raiden Mei's soft, fragrant body even tighter, and sneered:
"You just wait, I'll teach you a lesson next time you're in the practical class!"
To be fair, this threat is quite powerful.
Under the guidance of Anqi and Fu Hua, and with Kiana's own hard work and determination, her combat abilities are now vastly different from before. She's no longer a match for Bronya, and even the Heavy Cannon Rabbit would be a tough opponent.
However, Bronya showed no fear, and simply said woodenly:
"I hope you won't come to Bronya for tutoring before your next theory exam."
"... Um, I'm sorry, I spoke a little too loudly just now. I apologize."
Kiana, who was still full of vigor after just arguing with the Herrscher of the Void, obediently placed her hands on her lower abdomen and bowed with a sincere and humble expression.
In Anqi. St. Freya's absence, the only person who could effectively salvage Kiana's theory grades was the humanoid database, Miss Bronya. The cold, hard reality completely shattered Kiana's newly inflated confidence.
"Puff!"
Raiden Mei couldn't help but laugh.
Kiana scratched her face in confusion, chuckled dryly, and remained silent.
This is strange. I've clearly leveled up quite a bit. Logically, shouldn't I be unleashing my power and receiving admiring glances from everyone? Why does it feel like I leveled up almost nothing?
Sure enough, the school and she were incompatible; she shouldn't have gone to school!
