Master of Cosplay in the World of Honkai Impact 3rd Chapter 48

"I see," Mei said after a moment's thought. "He'll be our direct superior from now on?"

"You could say that," Fu Hua replied. "Once he arrives, we'll have a proper period of adjustment. While he's not the Captain yet, he's essentially our liaison and battlefield commander."

"But in the future, he should be the Captain."

"Captain... Hmph~" Li Pu snorted unhappily.

If that's the case, what does that make her now that a Captain has arrived?

No way!

She had to find a way to get rid of this guy!

PS: You guys really don't understand what a 'Rabbit' means, do you?

PS: To clarify, in ancient times, a good-looking young man who served others with his body was called a 'Rabbit'.

PS: I haven't decided on the Captain's name yet. Does anyone want to volunteer?

Chapter 74: The New Tool Person

"Red hair. The People's Navy actually allows dyeing hair."

Li Pu, holding a broom, glared at the young man with red hair standing before her.

"Are you really from the Navy?"

"You've dyed your hair red."

"Of course I'm from the Navy, but this hair isn't dyed." The red-haired kid grinned broadly, looking foolishly cheerful, but a hint of shrewdness flickered in his eyes. "My red hair is natural."

"People's Navy Bincheng Naval Vessel Academy..."

The red-haired kid snapped to attention, stood straight, and saluted.

"I understand," Li Pu said, not bothering to listen to the rest. "Get your personal information ready. I'll take you to see the Academy Head and the Dean of Studies."

"Uh, I haven't introduced myself yet," the red-haired kid said. "You're a Valkyrie, right?"

"We'll be colleagues from now on."

"My name is..."

"Tool Persons aren't worthy of names!" Li Pu said impatiently. "Calling you Captain would be good enough. Besides, you and I are not colleagues."

"I'm the cleaner here, and I'm your reception officer."

"A cleaner?" The red-haired kid lowered his hand as well.

He could clearly sense the obvious hostility. After a thorough self-check, he confirmed he hadn't offended the foreign girl in front of him.

The red-haired kid's attitude also lost its earlier enthusiasm.

In any case, he wouldn't be one of his subordinates, a Valkyrie, in the future.

This matter...

It was just how it was. They wouldn't have much interaction in the future, so there was no need to get angry over this cleaner's attitude.

Moreover, as a member of the People's Navy, He still maintained basic courtesy. "Then I'll trouble you."

A slight, not entirely unpleasant unpleasantness wasn't enough to cause any real problems. Although Li Pu desperately wanted to drive away this newly arrived Captain, it wasn't something that could be done immediately.

Furthermore, if she thought about it carefully, if she wasn't qualified to climb to the position of Captain, Pushing him away would only open up a spot for someone else.

Li Pu wasn't foolish enough to expend so much effort on something that so clearly involved others reaping the rewards of her labor. For now, she'd let this kid stay.

Looking closely, this red-haired kid wasn't that annoying after all.

As a kid who hadn't graduated yet, or rather, was about to graduate, This kid hadn't fully learned what it meant to be smooth or to endure. Li Pu's attitude towards him wasn't good. Although he looked polite and didn't directly show his displeasure, he had already created distance.

It was a purely business-like demeanor.

He had completely lost the eagerness he had shown earlier.

"Do you want to see the Dean of Studies first or the Academy Head?" Li Pu asked.

"Let's see the Academy Head first," the red-haired kid said. "Then we'll see the Dean of Studies."

"Oh?" Li Pu said in surprise. "I suggest you see the Dean of Studies first, and then go see the Academy Head?"

"Why?" the red-haired kid countered.

"Because the Dean of Studies is the one with the real power," Li Pu explained. "The Academy Head is just a mascot."

Li Pu considered this the most well-intentioned advice. Although Theresa held the title of Academy Head, the real power at St. Freya was held by Otto.

Theresa was basically like a mascot.

"Let's see the Academy Head first," the red-haired kid insisted.

He felt it from the moment she entered the room; this girl was digging a pit for him.

He needed to stick to his own opinion.

He needed to...

See the Headmaster in the Headmaster's office.

"Hiss..." The red-haired kid was completely unsure, looking at the傻笑ing, big idiot nun in front of him, he quietly said to Li Pu, "This... are you sure she's not an imposter? Is your school's Headmaster a child or a nun?"

"The Headmaster isn't exactly a nun," Li Pu said quietly. "But she is the Headmaster, Theresa."

"This little comrade," Theresa seemed a little displeased that the two of them were whispering and talking amongst themselves.

"Here! Headmaster," the red-haired kid immediately stood at attention and said, "Please give your instructions."

"This isn't the army, nor is it a military academy," Theresa said, standing on her chair. "You can relax a bit. There's no need to be so nervous."

"I've already looked through all your information. The military recommended you, which means you'll be a very excellent commander."

"The person standing next to you now is an S-rank Valkyrie."

"You can get acquainted first."

"Her name is Cecilia."

"Isn't she the cleaner?" the red-haired kid blurted out in surprise.

It was no wonder he was surprised. When he arrived, he had already gained some understanding of Schicksal's organizational structure. Among the Valkyrie rankings, S-rank Valkyries were very high-level and very rare Valkyries.

This was probably equivalent to the golden skins, five-star operatives, or SSRs in some gacha games.

Although in reality, there wasn't the process of gacha that depended mostly on luck and bloodline.

But if you wanted to apply for an S-rank Valkyrie to join your combat team.

It depended not only on qualifications but also on luck.

He had originally thought that when he arrived, the Valkyries he needed to communicate and integrate with would start from C-rank, and only after officially becoming a team commander would he get B-rank Valkyries.

Only after serving as Captain would he be qualified to command A-rank Valkyries and apply for S-rank Valkyries to join his team.

Was it true that he was getting a legendary S-rank Valkyrie right from the start?

His luck had exploded!

"S-rank Valkyrie?" The red-haired kid tilted his head and looked at Li Pu, saying, "You're not the cleaner?"

"Yes," Theresa said. "When I was first assigned a job, I was assigned to this post. Don't you always say I'm a brick of the nation, moved wherever needed?"

"Oh, oh, oh," the red-haired kid said happily. "My name is..."

"But she's not your subordinate Valkyrie for now," Theresa added. "I've already looked through all of this."

"Cecilia, take him to Otto."

"Get the final paperwork done."

"Yes, I understand," Li Pu said, pulling the door open. "Let's go, let's go meet the Dean."

"Oh... okay." The red-haired kid was both happy and disappointed. He was happy that there was an S-rank Valkyrie right in front of him, and he could get the advantage of proximity.

He was unhappy that this S-rank Valkyrie didn't belong to him for the time being.

But it didn't matter. As long as he worked hard, he would eventually be able to bring her into his team.

"Hmm~ Speaking of which," the red-haired kid intended to get closer.

He stared at the tuft of hair bouncing on Li Pu's head and asked, "Is that hair of yours real?"

As he said this, he was so curious that he directly reached out.

And tugged it!

On Shelf Announcement

Although I don't really want to write this, I still have to.

Thank you all for your support.

This is a polite remark.

Thank you all for your support.

This is a sincere remark.

I saw some readers say that the protagonist of this book is as useless as the Elemental Spirits. Li Pu in this book has similarities with Kyouko, but saying they are equally useless is hard to say.

Regarding the Captain, I saw some people mentioning it suddenly.

Well...

How should I put it? I know Himeko is the Captain. When I was writing before, Himeko often said, "I used to be the Captain."

Before writing this book, I had already considered this issue. Personally, I feel that instead of saying Himeko is the Captain, it would be more accurate to say she's a frontline commander or a squad commander.

When I read the manga, Himeko charged into battle herself.

I complained at the time, if the Captain is carrying a gun and going into battle, are there no other crew members working on the ship? The Captain should be a comprehensive commander, not someone who directly carries a gun into battle.

If either the protagonist or Himeko is the Captain in the book, I feel that they would both become background characters later on.

So, they simply arranged for a Captain to be deployed.

That's all there is to it.

The readers who have made it this far should also understand that although this book is a Honkai Impact 3rd fanfiction, it does not follow the established settings or the original plot.

It's the author's own interpretation, so please don't say things like "this is different from the original setting."

Finally, thank you all for your support.

Chapter 75: Cut Down to the Point of Going Offline

"An explosion? What happened?"

Kiana, who was walking with Mei and Bronya towards the new training area, suddenly noticed a violent explosion occurring in the corridor on the third floor of the old teaching building.

The school has a very complete fire prevention system, safety system, and surveillance system.

Normally, nothing would happen here; if something did happen, it would be a major event.

The three of them exchanged glances. While Mei and Bronya remained very calm, Kiana's face was already brimming with excitement and eagerness.

"Could it be terrorists? Or the legendary Collapse?"

Kiana excitedly pointed at the explosion site and said, "Let's go see what happened!"

"Maybe this will be my first battle as a Valkyrie!"

This wasn't exactly her official debut. However, for a girl who was only 16 years old, she already knew that her future held infinite possibilities and the power that ordinary people could not even imagine.
