"You motherf***er!"

Tesla immediately cursed out loud. This Bird's Nest Head really didn't know when to stop stirring up trouble!

Watching Tesla go bother Einstein.

Lin Nai casually constructed a Desert Eagle. He had learned this after Bronya disassembled a gun and reassembled it right in front of him.

Thanks to Bronya, Lin Nai could now construct firearms.

Although he could only construct a road roller as a vehicle.

After all, he didn't know how to build vehicles since he'd never seen one.

The one that left the deepest impression on him was the road roller.

After fiddling with it for a while, he noticed that Tesla and Einstein weren't paying attention to him.

His eyes darted around, and a sly smile appeared on his face.

He got up and tiptoed away.

Heh heh heh! Skipping class!

Einstein, who had been listening to Tesla's nagging, glanced at Lin Nai, who was sneaking out.

She didn't say anything more, her eyes full of amusement. She'd let it slide this time.

"Hey! Bird's Nest Head! Are you even listening to me!" Tesla glared at Einstein with dissatisfaction.

Einstein glanced at Tesla. "Hmm... What did Dr. Tesla just say?"

"Bird's Nest Head, you motherf***ing *****! ****!!"

Einstein silently pressed the mute button. This was one of Tesla's ultimate weapons.

It worked very well.

"Alright, Dr. Tesla, stop messing around. Lin Nai has already skipped class."

"Huh? That kid ran off again?!"

"He needs some time to relax occasionally. After all, he's been studying for forty minutes."

Einstein put away Lin Nai's book and placed it on a nearby cabinet.

Tesla pouted. "His progress is already lagging behind! I was hoping he could help out once he learned it!"

"Dr. Tesla, there's no need to worry. Lin Nai is actually learning quite quickly."

Einstein glanced in the direction of the door before looking away. "Let's go, we should get back to our research."

"That's true, I'm so busy!" Tesla stretched. "Speaking of which, where is Siegfried now?"

"Welt seems to have taken him to the Schicksal headquarters. He should be near Kiana."

"I see."

Chapter 40 · Sour Glances

During this week.

Ever since Lin Nai's tendency to get lost was discovered, Einstein had specifically added navigation to Lin Nai's phone.

Of course, the phone was bought by Tesla.

After the phone was bought, Einstein modified it slightly.

She increased its lifespan.

Not only Lin Nai, but Kiana and Bronya also received this upgrade.

Following the navigation, Lin Nai arrived at a relatively spacious area.

This was a training room specially approved by Welt.

It couldn't be helped. Schicksal's combat style involved piloting mechs, which was completely different from the Valkyries of Schicksal.

What did piloting a mech rely on?

The mech's performance, and your skill as a pilot.

"Aiya! Bronya! I'm teaching you Kaslana Gun Fu very seriously, you little runt! Pay attention!" Kiana said, hands on her hips, looking displeased at the short girl in front of her.

Bronya: (? ? ?)

"Bronya is an ordinary person. There's no way she can be like the idiot Kiana, right?"

She didn't have Kiana's strange super strength.

What normal person could disassemble a mech?

An illustration is provided here; you can view it after updating the version.

"Hey! This is self-defense!" Kiana said earnestly.

Lin Nai, standing at the doorway, looked complicated. Kaslana Gun Fu is for self-defense?

Kiana, are you serious?

Self-defense... specifically for fighting Honkai Beasts?

But Bronya's physique wouldn't be able to handle that either, right? Like kicking a Honkai Beast to death with one leg.

If it's for self-defense against people, then Bronya doesn't need to learn it at all.

As the Ural Silver Wolf, Bronya is a professional when it comes to dealing with people.

Especially killing with stockings, no one can do that!

"Idiot Kiana, instead of practicing, you should think about how to pass this week's exams."

"Uwa!"

Kiana's face instantly fell: "Why did you have to bring up exams..."

Exams are the worst!

"It's all Lin Nai's fault! If you wanted to learn, fine, but why did you have to drag me along!"

"Hm? Bronya, what's with that expression?"

Noticing Bronya had taken a few steps back and was looking at her with a "save yourself" look, Kiana didn't react for a moment.

Meanwhile, our Duck Duck had already turned her head away.

"Cough, cough."

"Gulp!!"

Hearing Lin Nai's voice, the Grasshopper's body instantly became stiff.

She slowly looked behind her.

Lin Nai was staring at her with a very friendly smile.

Kiana flashed an awkward smile: "Heh... hehe, Lin Nai, good afternoon?"

"Good afternoon, Kiana."

Lin Nai reached out and flicked Kiana's forehead.

"Oof... Be gentler next time!" Kiana rubbed her forehead, complaining as if spoiled.

"Next time for sure."

Lin Nai's gaze shifted to Bronya: "So Kiana didn't do her homework again?"

"Mm."

Bronya nodded, then glanced at the time, a slight smile curving her lips: "Lin Nai, you skipped class to come out, didn't you?"

"Gulp..."

Being found out, Lin Nai stiffened.

Kiana blinked, then her expression turned extremely playful: "Lin Nai, how dare you say that about me~ You skipped class too~"

"Because you're last place," Lin Nai said without thinking.

This stunned Kiana for a few seconds.

"..."

Right, she was last in the exam...

Which means Lin Nai could never be last place?!

"Awooo!!"

Kiana, displeased, bit down on Lin Nai's arm.

"Kiana! Are you a dog?!" Lin Nai was startled and immediately tried to stop Kiana.

Seriously, his skin couldn't even be penetrated by bullets, what about Kiana's teeth?!

But Kiana wasn't stupid enough to bite down hard.

So she just made an "awoo" sound, not biting with force, but rather gently rubbing her teeth against his skin.

Lin Nai's hand rubbed Kiana's head in annoyance, messing up her head of white hair.

"Honestly."

"Lin Nai, don't get cocky! Maybe you'll be the one at the bottom this time!"

Kiana released her mouth, let out a displeased hum, and then turned to call Bronya, leaving.

Lin Nai didn't seem to care. If nothing unexpected happened, Kiana would fall asleep within three seconds of entering study mode.

Looking at Bronya's face, you could tell what was going on.

Although Duck Duck usually maintained a (? ? ?) expression, her expressions were now much more varied than before.

Bronya's face was full of helplessness as she whispered to Lin Nai as she passed by.

"Lin Nai, you'll teach Kiana tomorrow. Bronya needs to rest."

"Eh?"

"Idiot Kiana is just too difficult to teach. Lin Nai, you don't want Bronya to be angered to the point of fainting, do you?"

Duck Duck gazed deeply at Lin Nai with her silver-gray eyes.

"Fine..."

Lin Nai sighed, it seemed like she would be the one with a headache tomorrow...

This is really troublesome.

But she really couldn't let Bronya get so angry she fainted.

"Mhm."

Bronya nodded, then stopped in her tracks, not leaving.

"What's wrong?" Lin Nai asked, looking at Bronya who was still lingering.

Bronya pondered for a few seconds: "Bronya hasn't been sleeping well lately, so Bronya needs Lin Nai to tell stories."

Lin Nai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but she still nodded in agreement.

After all, it was just telling stories.

Bronya left with satisfaction.
