"Isn't that normal?"
Einstein was even more confused upon hearing that. Lin Nai was a normal person, so wasn't it perfectly normal for his test results to come back normal?
"That's exactly what's abnormal! What normal person can use an ahoge to unleash power?!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Lobster Doctor! This isn't a fucking ahoge!"
Lin Nai promptly corrected her. This was just ordinary hair!
According to the system, the red strand of hair was a manifestation of his power and a symbol of recognition.
It was not necessary, though. In other words, he could actually shoot beams from an ahoge too.
Tesla: 6.
"Fine, fine, it's not an ahoge. But what normal person uses their hair to unleash power?!"
"Mm... if you put it that way, Dr. Tesla..."
Einstein silently took out a pair of scissors and studied Lin Nai with curiosity.
Lin Nai shuddered under her gaze, his whole body trembling as he instinctively took a step back.
Then Einstein smiled and put the scissors away.
That wicked woman had done it on purpose!
"Were there any other issues with the physical examination?"
"Not really." Tesla flipped through the report. It was precisely because everything was so normal that it felt strange.
"Then isn't that enough? Lin Nai is just a child, and they're just children too. There's nothing wrong with them."
Einstein took a sip of coffee and said, "Besides, the testing comes next. A physical examination can't reveal anything about their combat ability."
"That's true, but..."
Tesla scratched her head. The power Lin Nai used was not so-called Honkai Energy.
Otherwise, why would she have thought of running blood tests to see whether anything was wrong?
But in truth—
Lin Nai's examination report showed that he was an ordinary person, ordinary to the extreme.
Yet his combat power was absurdly strong.
"The testing will settle it. Welt, I'll have to trouble you to take the field yourself."
"Huh? Him? Not a mech?"
"Fuck! Kid! Were you actually planning to tear apart my mech?!"
Tesla heard the disappointment in Lin Nai's voice and immediately flew into a rage!
You brat!
You really hold a grudge!
It was just waking you up at eight in the morning for a physical examination! Was that really necessary?!
Lin Nai: Disturbing someone's sweet dreams deserved a beating!
"You little—"
Tesla had barely started speaking, before she had even begun swearing, when Einstein pressed the mute button.
This little thing really was useful.
At the very least, whenever Einstein was around, Tesla could not get a single curse out.
Welt watched Tesla's mouth with a complicated expression. Her language was outrageously foul.
He truly did not know how Dr. Tesla had become like this.
"Huh? I... I'm going?"
"Mm, just be careful."
Einstein nodded.
Mechs were simply too expensive. If one really got smashed up, she and Tesla would have nowhere to cry.
So the best option was to send Welt in.
Otherwise, why had they brought this guy along?
Tesla poked Einstein, making the blue-haired Bird's Nest Head look over.
Tesla wore a deeply resentful expression.
"What is it, Dr. Tesla?"
"Dead Bird's Nest Head, could you stop using the mute button whenever you feel like it?"
Einstein hesitated for only two seconds before shaking her head. "No."
"Why not?!"
"Because they're all children, and Dr. Tesla mustn't corrupt them."
That was what Einstein said.
Tesla glanced at the awakened Kiana, the expressionless Bronya—
And Lin Nai, who was drinking a beverage.
She could accept saying the first two should not be corrupted!
But!
That little bastard Lin Nai!
Tesla dared to guarantee that this guy knew no fewer swear words than she did!
Roads Are Countless, Safety Comes First
Since they needed to test their combat capabilities—
Everyone took a flying vehicle to an empty, deserted place.
Einstein was the one driving.
As for why Tesla was not allowed to drive—
Well...
Tesla might drive the vehicle too fast, and then everyone would end up throwing up.
Einstein even gave examples afterward, such as Tesla being caught and thrown into a cell more than three hundred times for speeding and street racing.
It was hard to imagine just how many times Tesla had gone street racing.
Lin Nai was dumbfounded just listening to it.
Was bringing Bronya to Anti-Entropy really the right choice?
Still, Lin Nai did not forget to use this opportunity to educate Kiana and Bronya.
"Do you see that? Street racing turns you into something like Dr. Tesla, so you absolutely must not race."
"Setting aside the risk of having your license revoked, getting thrown into a cell clearly isn't something worth bragging about."
"There are countless roads, but safety comes first. Drive improperly, and your family will shed tears."
There was an illustration here. It can be viewed after updating to a newer version.
Bronya and Kiana obediently nodded.
When they thought carefully about what Tesla was like...
Mm... Anti-Entropy's telegraph machine?
Clap clap clap—
Einstein applauded in cooperation, then turned to look at Lobster Doctor beside her. "Lin Nai put that very well. So, does Dr. Tesla know she was wrong?"
Lobster Doctor's mouth twitched. "Bird's Nest Head, you..."
"Dr. Tesla, actually, I also think street racing is a little..."
"Welt, shut up!"
"Mm..."
Welt took a Lion's Roar from Tesla and successfully went silent.
It was hard to imagine what Welt's life after Honkai had been like...
Just kidding.
Thus, Tesla spent most of the journey grumbling and swearing.
Then Lin Nai pulled out the mute button and successfully muted Dr. Tesla.
Tesla: ???
And so, with nowhere to vent her frustration, the pitiful Tesla could only swallow her anger and start reading.
Tsk tsk tsk, that book was practically about to be squeezed into a ball.
Sob, sob, sob, how pitiful.
Of course, he was not talking about Tesla. He meant the book.
Lin Nai looked around. He was actually rather curious about how there could be such an empty valley nearby.
"Since we needed to avoid attracting attention, we just found an open area." Einstein saw Lin Nai's confusion and answered.
Lin Nai blinked. This counted as just finding somewhere?
Mm...
Well, whatever.
The sooner they finished, the sooner they could eat. To be honest, he was already hungry.
"But am I the only one going?"
"Who else would go?"
Tesla raised an eyebrow. "Kiana is from the Kaslana family, while Bronya is merely an ordinary... assassin."
Thinking about it carefully, Bronya was not exactly an ordinary person anymore.
What normal person knew the Stocking Murder Technique?
Right?
She was from the Kaslana family, but with Kiana's size and height—
Tesla's assessment was that she would struggle against a mech.
The same went for Bronya.
So naturally, Lin Nai was the only one taking the field.
Still, those words did remind Lin Nai that Bronya was currently just a highly skilled person.
She was not the Herrscher of Reason, nor did she have the invincible stand user, Project Bunny.
Perhaps he really needed to think of something.
Mm...
Should he teach Bronya the Cosmic Fist?
Better not. Teaching that required driving a jeep while chasing someone.
Mm... it was not strictly necessary, though.
But that would make it feel like something was missing.
No one else could learn his set of skills anyway. He could not possibly find a way to make her build a set of weapons, could he?
