That female teacher looks like a man, said the expressionless girl with hair styled into exaggerated double-drill pigtails who felt like a stoic girl—and in fact was one—pointing at the person who had completely and utterly frozen in place. Is she a teacher?
No, no, no, no, no!!!!!
A wail suddenly erupted throughout the entire base.
That wail echoed around the base for three whole days without stopping.
Please listen to my explanation! Listen to my explanation! Siegfried said anxiously: Cecilia! Um, my, this... I...
No, Mr. Siegfried. Li Pu hurriedly explained: I am not Cecilia, my name is Li Pu! Li of Li Pu, Pu of Li Pu. Please do not explain anything to me.
Besides, this outfit of yours isn't bad at all~ It looks quite nice.
Didn't Master Lu say that the best art in the world...
Is a man dressing up as a woman!
Believe me, Master Lu definitely said that!
Did Siegfried have this hobby? Who knew; could it be that someone had played him for a fool? Hard to say.
Li Pu didn't show the slightest bit of surprise; for this sort of thing, he felt it could at most be considered novel. From certain angles, he even felt a bit of shared sympathy.
After all, his own system had tried every trick in the book to trick him into cross-dressing not too long ago.
No, Cecilia. Siegfried struggled to defend himself: It's not like that, listen to me, no! No!
It's fine. Li Pu gave a thumbs-up and said: Mr. Siegfried, I have high hopes for you!
And please call me Li Pu, thank you.
I!!! Siegfried seemed as though he still needed to explain something to himself, but Li Pu's smiling attitude instantly made him shut his mouth.
Although looking like this really was a bit foolish and embarrassing, vaguely, Siegfried felt that Li Pu didn't hate him quite as much as before.
Moreover, the worst-case scenario he had imagined hadn't happened.
So...
Did this Otto lie? Siegfried suddenly calmed right down.
It seemed, felt, probably, more or less, Otto hadn't lied.
Acting foolish and making a fool of oneself—although it looked quite shameful, it worked! These silly, self-deprecating actions did indeed shorten the distance between him and Cecilia to a certain extent.
My name is Chigetsuko~ desu yo~ Siegfried also gave a thumbs-up, revealing a set of front teeth that vaguely flashed with a glint, and said: Please treat me well~ desu yo~
Li Pu~ Li Pu returned the same smile and gave a matching thumbs-up as he said: I'm counting on you~ Chigetsuko~
The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly turned bizarre.
Bronya looked left, then right. She had long since felt that the person guiding her was a bit strange, but she hadn't expected them to be this strange. Could this be the legendary gay bar?
It felt totally homoerotic in here.
Had she come to the wrong place? This wasn't a philosophy locker room, nor was it the Demon King's cabin.
Ahem... Himeko coughed once more, a somewhat inexplicable light flashing in her eyes as she said: Ms. Chige... zuko... Please pay attention.
Class is about to start; as a teaching assistant, please do not disrupt normal classroom order.
That girl. Himeko walked up to Bronya and said: You must be the new transfer student, right?
Yes. Bronya said expressionlessly: My name is Bronya Zaychik. I am a new student, officially entering St. Freya today for Valkyrie training.
Oh~ You know quite a bit. Himeko paused slightly and said: Looks like someone introduced you well.
It wasn't me. Li Pu immediately waved his hands and said: I didn't say anything at all, I just bumped into her at the entrance and brought her to see Theresa along the way.
I didn't say it was you. Himeko said: By the way, you stay too.
Attend the first class.
Chapter 52: Siegfried's White Comet
To think she wants me to audit too.
Li Pu sat in the back row with only a stool and nothing else left.
Auditing truly meant auditing.
However, the few other people didn't have it much better either. Aside from having one more desk than Li Pu and not needing to crouch against the wall, they lacked all remaining textbooks and similar materials entirely.
So this is training? Li Pu leaned against the wall, feeling somewhat listless.
Compared to the Valkyrie training he had imagined, everything here appeared much more crude. As for the lecture, it revolved first and foremost around a substance called Honkai Energy.
As one of the fundamental pillars of this world's worldview, Honkai Energy was not only the source that triggered the Honkai, but also a kind of usable energy.
Himeko was popularizing what Honkai Energy was, but this whole heap of stuff was far too profound for Li Pu.
He didn't understand it, and naturally had no heart to study it seriously anyway; either way, as long as he knew this stuff could be useful, that was enough.
As for the theory class, she wasn't the only one lacking interest.
Take Kiana, for instance. She had been able to maintain a certain level of interest and an earnest attitude right from the start, but she quickly plunged headfirst onto her desk and fell asleep soundly.
Truly a family...
Himeko shook the book in her hand and glanced over the people below.
If she had to name the most earnest student in her studies, it would be Fu Hua, followed by Mei. Bronya always wore an expressionless face and a look of confusion with a lack of focus in her eyes.
This made it hard for Himeko to judge whether this Bronya was studying hard or just zoning out.
Naturally, the least earnest and most provocative of all was naturally Kiana.
Sleeping in class really was the ultimate provocation to a teacher!
Equally provocative was that Cecilia sitting in the back row. She also seemed utterly unconcerned with all of this; although she wasn't sleeping, she was hardly any better off.
Clap~
Himeko forcefully closed her book, knowing that theoretical knowledge was terribly boring for many people.
These Valkyries hadn't been issued textbooks because they didn't need to delve too deeply into Honkai Energy. After all, this wasn't something they needed to understand thoroughly.
These girls were still centered around actual combat.
Since it was actual combat...
I've said this much about Honkai Energy. Himeko said solemnly: Then let's move on to today's real main subject.
And the things we are truly introducing to you.
Clap, clap~
Himeko clapped her hands and said: Then you may come in, teaching assistant Chigetsuko.
Everyone's gaze concentrated on the doorway.
Including Li Pu.
This Siegfried really knows how to pull off crazy stunts. Li Pu thought to himself as he cradled the back of his head with both hands and gazed at that door: I wonder what kind of stunt Siegfried can pull off this time.
Last time he wore women's clothing, what will it be this time?
Last time he wore women's clothing. It wasn't anything extremely rare, nor was it a cosplay outfit, and of course it wasn't some revealing, seductive costume either. Siegfried wore a very ordinary office lady outfit.
Right, a black mini-suit jacket and white shirt on top, a form-fitting skirt on the bottom, and further down were stockings and high heels.
Moreover, Siegfried naturally had long hair, which seemed to have been specially styled into a capable short haircut.
A woman's short haircut, not a crew cut.
In short, one sentence.
Utterly sultry!!
And now?
Still not seeing the person first; what appeared first were hands! Hands gripping the doorframe—a pair of hands capable of crushing the doorframe until it cracked.
This?! Li Pu felt that the gloves on those hands looked somewhat familiar.
His eyesight in this lifetime was quite good.
Siegfried wore gloves that felt somewhat like the color scheme of labor protection gloves. Of course, they weren't labor protection gloves; they should be some kind of leather variety that fit closely against the skin.
The backs of the hands were white while the palms were orange-red, and the gloves looked quite long, connecting across the entire arm.
The main color naturally remained white.
Ah...
Siegfried felt completely wrong with himself; he lowered his head, his face as dark as the bottom of a wok. Although Otto had previously said that when it came to cross-dressing, there was only a difference between zero times and infinite times, and once you wore it you would definitely wear it more!
Hence, once the precedent was set, there was no stopping afterward.
Siegfried didn't think so; although the precedent had been set and it felt like it had shortened the distance to Cecilia, none of this had developed in the direction he anticipated.
Today's first class was meant to introduce these Trainee Valkyries to the equipment they would frequently use in the future.
Namely, Valkyrie battle armor.
Siegfried naturally knew about this stuff; he also owned a set of similar armor. Different armor possessed different traits and would exert different combat effectiveness when facing different enemies.
Moreover, as protective gear frequently worn by Valkyries, this set of armor possessed no weak defensive capabilities.
At the same time, its design fit the body closely, while warmth, breathability, and mobility were all quite good.
One could even say this outfit was designed so well in terms of skin-tightness, breathability, and physical sensation that it would make a person feel as though they were running around naked.
Naturally, this sensation could be ignored.
However...
Why... why... Siegfried thought through gritted teeth: Why do I have to wear my daughter's Valkyrie battle armor!
Right, this was the armor prepared for Kiana. It wasn't just for training and selection.
Valkyrie armor was custom-made, basically belonging to the category of exclusive, one-on-one items.
Basically, different armor between different people had almost no versatility to speak of.
Therefore, the armor prepared for Kiana was only useful when worn by Kiana.
However, that didn't mean others couldn't wear it.
This outfit possessed super-great elasticity, so other people could still squeeze into it if they forced themselves.
It just felt awfully tight.
Right now, as he, Siegfried, wore this outfit, he not only felt as though he were running naked, but he also had the sensation of sneaking into his daughter's clothes, coupled with a feeling that his balls were being squeezed to the point of pain.
This...
This truly was a despair-inducing sensation!
E... Everyone... Siegfried lowered his head and finally walked into the classroom. He forced a smile and braced himself as he said: My name is Chigetsuko...
As a teaching assistant, I... I will personally... explain this Valkyrie armor to everyone!
Right now, the outfit I... I am wearing is called the White Comet battlesuit.
It is about to be assigned to...
Siegfried's expression stiffened; he really didn't want to say it... extremely didn't want to!
This Otto was definitely making fun of him!
This was literally ripping out his heart and lungs!
However...
What good was not wanting to say it? Siegfried cast his gaze toward the boy in the corner at the very back of the classroom, whose mouth was open wide enough to fit an egg.
This damn figure is actually not bad! Li Pu blurted out almost instantly: You've got it, Siegfried!
Kiana's White Comet battlesuit.
You actually managed to squeeze into it?!
