The Master Cosplayer in the World of Honkai Impact 3rd

"Conversely, if you want everything and want to take everything, you won't get anything! Only children make choices, adults want it all."

"That statement is incorrect. Adults make choices more often than children do."

"Only children can have it all; adults must understand how to make trade-offs."

"Taking a big step back today is for the sake of taking a big step forward in the future. Retreat to advance; only by suffering small losses can you gain great advantages."

"Mr. Siegfried, what do you think?"

What do I think?! Siegfried suddenly stood up and said, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Who are you trying to fool!"

"You want me to cross-dress? You might as well expect Ganesha to climb a tree."

"Otto!"

Chapter 50: Friends, Relatives, and Family

"I heard a new teacher is coming today," Kiana said excitedly. "I wonder what they'll be like."

"Maybe it'll be my mom."

The reason Kiana said this was largely because the new teacher was a Valkyrie instructor, so at least in Kiana's opinion, this new teacher was very likely to be her mother.

After all, she was a super strong former Valkyrie, even though she was instantly defeated by Ganesha.

But she was still a super strong former Valkyrie!

"It could also be someone else," Fu Hua said calmly. "Cecilia doesn't seem suitable to be an instructor right now."

Fu Hua didn't think it would be Cecilia. She was the strongest before, but that might not be the case now.

"Why?" Kiana waved her hand. "Just because of a mistake during the simulation battle? If it's because of that."

"There was nothing wrong with it."

"It was just a single mistake."

That wasn't just a simple mistake. Fu Hua didn't argue. She knew that arguing wouldn't be of any use. Kiana's current state, to put it nicely, was "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," and to put it bluntly, it was "you can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep." Kiana right now was simply incapable of analyzing calmly or observing seriously.

Although she wasn't usually very good at it either.

But right now, Kiana genuinely believed Cecilia was amazing. Even if she lost, it was just a small mistake, nothing significant.

Arguing with her now, whether with theories or reality, she wouldn't listen.

"I think we'll know once we meet them later," Mei said, trying to ease the slightly tense atmosphere. "We'll be meeting the new teacher soon anyway, right, class president, Kiana?"

Having been promoted from a regular class to a candidate Valkyrie.

There were only three people left in this class now.

Her, Kiana, and the newly assigned class president, Fu Hua.

"Speaking of which, someone else is supposed to come today," Mei suddenly said. "I think it's a transfer student."

"I wonder who it is."

"Who cares," Kiana said, hands on her hips, sounding a little defiant. "As long as they don't just randomly assign another class representative."

"Including this transfer student, our class of four has had two class representatives."

"I can't stand this kind of restriction."

Today feels really good.

At the academy entrance, Li Pu held a large broom and sighed, "Days without anyone bothering me truly feel incredibly relaxing."

No need to face Kiana, no need to face Siegfried. No need to face so many awkward situations.

All in all, it gave him an unparalleled sense of refreshment.

"It's really been a long time since I felt like this," Li Pu muttered to himself as he swept fallen leaves and dust from the school entrance. "It's really... don't..."

"Huh? Is that..."

"The Ghostfire Girl!!!"

The roar of an engine, a heavily modified motorcycle. A spark of lightning, along with crackling and buzzing sounds, charged towards him.

Seeing that it had no intention of slowing down as it approached the school entrance.

With a swish, the rider, a petite and delicate girl whose appearance was completely at odds with the violent, exaggerated, and wild look of her motorcycle, flicked her wrist and swerved the bike. The vehicle screeched to a halt.

Just as it was about to hit Li Pu, it stopped.

"Are you an employee of St. Freya?" the rider of the motorcycle asked.

The girl showed no expression, didn't remove her helmet, and spoke in a monotone voice, "Please open the gate."

"Thank you."

Although she said "thank you," Li Pu couldn't detect any sincerity in her voice.

"You are..." Li Pu felt that the girl's voice sounded very familiar.

He didn't have X-ray vision, so of course, he couldn't see the girl's face through the helmet. But looking at her figure and hearing her voice, Li Pu couldn't help but associate her with someone he knew.

"My name is Bronya Zaychik." The girl removed her helmet, revealing a pretty, expressionless face.

And those twin-tail drill pigtails that looked incredibly unscientific...

*'Ghost Fire Girl Bronya...' *

Li Pu felt he had guessed the girl's identity long ago, but seeing her face now, he still found it a bit hard to accept!

The cute, emotionless, petite, obedient, and sensible little loli Bronya had become the Ghost Fire Girl!!!

World! Give me back my pure, cute, obedient, and sensible Bronya!

'But if I look closely, Ghost Fire Girl Bronya doesn't seem so bad.'

Li Pu sized up the girl in front of him.

"Please don't look at me like that," Bronya said, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes, as if she felt offended. "I am indeed a student at this school."

"I transferred today."

Bronya took out a transfer certificate from her backpack and waved it in front of Li Pu.

"Oh, no, it's nothing," Li Pu said, shaking his head. "It's just that, classmate, you shouldn't be of legal age yet, right? Can you ride a heavy motorcycle to school?"

"Doesn't that violate our country's road traffic regulations? Also, do you have a driver's license?"

"This is an electric vehicle," Bronya said very confidently and seriously. "This is not a motor vehicle."

'You're kidding me! I can't tell the difference between a motorcycle and an electric vehicle?' Li Pu complained in his mind.

Well... whatever.

Li Pu shrugged. He didn't want to argue with Bronya about this. "Then follow me, I'll take you to see the Academy Head..."

"Do you want to see the Academy Head or the Dean of Students?"

Whether it was to see Otto or Theresa, if Li Pu remembered correctly, Bronya at this moment was a spy from Anti-Entropy.

But what did that have to do with him? Li Pu was just a cleaner.

At the Valkyrie training base.

As Valkyries, they couldn't neglect their academic studies, nor could their combat skills be lacking. And now, their combat capability might rank first, as they were the ones who would directly face Honkai Beasts in the future.

They were frontline combat personnel; how could they not have strong combat skills?

"A bit slow~" Himeko said impatiently. "I wonder how the new teacher is preparing."

It was indeed a bit slow. The first class was about to start, and the new teacher still hadn't shown up. This was really quite slow.

Click, swish~

Just then, the classroom door suddenly opened.

A pair of large hands were placed on the doorframe...

Squeezing the poor doorframe...

Until it cracked...

Chapter 51: Siegfried, Desu Yo!

"Cl... Classmates... Ev... Everyone... Hello..."

"I am Teacher Siegfried Kaslana..."

Look! Ganesha is dancing ballet on the treetop!

What does the model pig, Ganesha, climbing a tree have to do with me, the model pig?

In short, to sum it up.

The pig climbed a tree!

"Kiana, your dad..." Mei stared dumbfounded at the awkward 'aunt' in front of her. "Does your dad have..."

"No! No, I don't know her!" Kiana insisted. "My dad is currently swimming naked in the big ice lake in the Alps to train his body."

"How could he be here?!"

'This is clearly your father.' Fu Hua also showed a rare look of astonishment.

'Good heavens, it's true that people from the same family think alike.'

'They even talk nonsense in the same way.'

"Otto!!!!" Siegfried roared in a low voice, a roar that seemed to come from hell. He felt like he had been tricked! Faced with the choice between not being able to be a teacher and approaching Cecilia, or sending Ganesha up the tree, Siegfried chose to send Ganesha up the tree.

He thought Otto would give him a minor position and create some opportunities for him.

A job that would minimize the impact.

Otto did just that.

In theory, he was just an assistant teacher for training Valkyries. He wouldn't lead a class or teach directly; he was an assistant to Himeko. It was a minor position.

At the same time, the students he would face were not many, likely only Kiana, Mei, and Fu Hua.

And although the Valkyrie training campus was in the same location as the regular campus, they were actually isolated from each other.

The influence was also limited to a very small group of people.

Theoretically, Otto's arrangements had no flaws.

However, that was just in theory.

But Kiana was his, Siegfried's, daughter! Mei was his daughter's best friend, and that Fu Hua was his wife's good friend! This had a huge impact!

Otto was doing this on purpose! Absolutely on purpose!

Siegfried was certain.

Otto was absolutely doing this intentionally!

"Everyone, quiet!" Himeko finally spoke up. She truly hadn't expected it to be Siegfried. She had only heard Otto and Theresa say that a very outstanding Valkyrie would come to guide these students.

And it turned out to be Siegfried.

This was truly an unexpected turn of events.

"Well then, we..." Himeko tried to speak calmly. "We have a new classmate joining us today."

"She should have already arrived."

"Scrape~"

As soon as Himeko finished speaking, the door was suddenly pulled open. A male voice from the doorway said, "I'm here. This is the Valkyrie training base."

"Why is this door broken... huh?!"

The classroom fell silent once again.

Two people stood at the doorway: a boy holding a bucket and a mop, and a girl with a blank expression wearing another school's uniform.
