When Their Hero, A Person in Honkai Impact 3, Part 5

"Ah, yes. Good morning to you too, Bai Ge."

"Oh, right. Here's your lunchbox. It was really delicious, thanks."

After returning the girl's lunchbox to her, Bai Ge yawned and went back to his seat to catch up on sleep.

Yesterday, excited about just arriving, Bai Ge had spent several hours surfing the web before falling asleep.

He eventually discovered that Honkai, Herrschers, and similar topics were all blocked, and he couldn't find anything anywhere.

Otherwise, everything else was the same as his previous life.

It was mostly gossip headlines, funny videos, and seemingly impressive national news. Honestly, Bai Ge felt a sense of familiarity online.

Bai Ge: "This is it, this is it! Seeing these silly netizens really feels like coming home."

He slept through the first two of the four morning classes. The teachers didn't dare say much to these rich young masters and ladies, treating it as if they hadn't seen anything.

If they had been more responsible, Mei wouldn't have been bullied so severely at school.

The remaining two classes in the morning were physical education. It was fitting for a school in the Far East to have swimming lessons for PE. Bai Ge swam to his heart's content.

However, when noon arrived.

Just as Bai Ge was thinking of an excuse to mooch another meal from the "cooking lady," he noticed that Raiden Mei was nowhere to be found in the classroom.

"Could she have gone to the rooftop yesterday?"

[Host, Raiden Mei is not there. Her current location is the girls' locker room at the gymnasium.]

"Huh? If they're ostracizing her, don't they usually eat on the rooftop or in the restroom? What's with the girls' locker room?"

As Bai Ge was wondering, the girls who had bullied Mei yesterday walked into the classroom triumphantly.

Although the classroom was noisy during lunch break, Bai Ge, with his keen hearing, overheard a few nasty snippets—"Take her clothes," "Don't even think about resisting," "No one's saving her this time," "Let that swindler's daughter never come to school again."

Bai Ge: "...Damn it!!!"

The next second, he rushed out of the classroom.

Sixth update! The new book released 10 chapters in the first 24 hours! I keep my promises!

To all my wise, mighty, and handsome reader dads, I'm not asking for much, just some free flowers!

Does anyone know where to buy the instant noodles in the illustration? I want to slurp them up!

Chapter Seven: Becoming Raiden Mei's Hero (New Book Seeking Collection)

"...Damn it!!!"

After understanding what those girls had done again, Bai Ge cursed and immediately rushed out of the classroom.

He hadn't expected that after he had just taught those girls a lesson yesterday, they would do something even more outrageous today.

Bai Ge didn't know what these girls were doing to Raiden Mei now, but he was certain of one thing.

With Kiana not having appeared yet, he was the only one in this academy who could help her!

Images of the girl recalling her painful school experiences from the game flashed in his mind, and Bai Ge gritted his teeth, quickening his pace.

Meanwhile.

"...Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?"

Tears welled up in Mei's eyes.

She was currently curled up in a corner of the locker room wearing a thin swimsuit. After the swimming class, the girls had suddenly snatched Mei's clothes and locked her in the locker room.

No matter how much she called for help, no one responded.

No matter how much she apologized, she was met with mockery.

No matter how much she pleaded, she was met with laughter.

"It's so cold, so painful. I don't want to get hurt anymore. I've had enough of this... Anyone, please, someone save me."

Mei's pale lavender eyes became incredibly bright at this moment. Purple arcs of electricity flickered across her delicate skin, and Honkai Energy gradually intensified around her.

A new consciousness emerged, unnoticed by anyone. It was whispering, urging, and commanding Raiden Mei to destroy everything.

However, just as this consciousness, with its irresistible omnipotence, was about to usher Mei into a new life.

"Mei! Are you in here?"

Clang—!

With a loud crash, the door to the girls' locker room was violently kicked open.

A young man burst in, with snow-white short hair and light golden eyes filled with obvious anxiety and concern.

"Bai Ge... classmate."

Mei stared blankly at the boy who had barged in. In her vision at that moment, he was as dazzling as a prince charming from a fairy tale.

The despair, sorrow, and self-abandonment of moments ago ceased abruptly, like a drowning person finally grabbing the last straw.

Seeing that Mei was unharmed, Bai Ge breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly walked over, draped a coat over the girl's shoulders, and comforted her, assuring her that she was alright.

He also noticed the flickering purple arcs of electricity on the ground around him, immediately realizing that the consequences would have been dire if he had been a moment later.

Although the Honkai Energy concentration was definitely not enough for Herrscher transformation, the signs had already appeared.

"Aiyoh~ Mei, you got bullied again? But it's okay now, so don't worry. I'll teach those people a good lesson later."

Bai Ge raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the girl's eyes. It was the first time in his life he had comforted a crying girl, so he seemed a bit flustered.

Mei tightly gripped the corner of Bai Ge's clothes with her small hands, as if silently begging him not to leave.

After a slight hesitation.

Bai Ge reached out and patted her head.

"It's okay now, don't be scared."

"Mhm, Bai Ge, you came to help me again..."

"Then, this time, you can have my bento as payment. Uh, if you're hungry, then forget it."

"Mhm, okay, I'll give it to you. Really, thank you so much, Bai Ge."

An indescribable feeling welled up in Mei's heart. She couldn't accurately describe her current emotions.

It felt like being suddenly saved by someone when she had fallen into despair and was about to give up.

If possible, she wanted to maintain the current situation a little longer, so they sat together in silence.

The girl lowered her head and pressed against Bai Ge's arm, while Bai Ge looked up at the ceiling, contemplating how to punish those girls later.

"...Um, what about this outfit?" Mei finally spoke.

"Oh, I borrowed it from the drama club when I came. Does it fit you well, Mei?"

Bai Ge explained.

Thanks to the system's reminder, he remembered that Raiden Mei's clothes had been taken by those girls.

Otherwise, he might have had to make another trip.

"It, it's okay, just a little tight."

"..."

It could only be said that she was indeed the best-figured among the "Big Three." Even at such a young age, she was already developing a formidable physique.

Bai Ge glanced at the girl's chest. The buttons of the clothes were bearing a strain they shouldn't have, as if they would snap and fly off at any second. (See picture)

"Speaking of which, Bai Ge, you've been calling me by my name since just now," Mei said softly.

"Eh? Have I? Oh, my apologies. It just slipped out. Mei... Raiden Mei, if you don't like it, then forget it." Bai Ge scratched his head.

"No, I don't dislike it!"

"...Is that so? That's good."

Bai Ge's face lit up with a smile upon hearing this. He found it difficult to call her by any other name.

After all, he had always called her Mei in the game. For a while, Bai Ge had even forgotten that this girl had the surname Raiden, just as he had almost called her by her name when they first met.

For people in the Far East, names were only used by close friends or family. But for any Captain, they were accustomed to calling her Mei, not Raiden.

"It's me who should be thanking you, Bai Ge, for calling me that," she replied with a smile.

Raiden Mei was truly happy that there was someone in school willing to call her by her name.

Instead of being called "the swindler's daughter" or "the sinner's daughter."

"In that case, Mei, you can just call me Bai Ge too. Hehe, it's only fair."

"Okay, then... Bai Ge."

As if doing something incredibly challenging, Mei carefully uttered Bai Ge's name. She could clearly feel the difference from the past.

Unlike those who befriended her solely for the Raiden family's wealth and her reputation.
