Honkai Simulator: Not for Kidnapping Herrschers!

She wasn't completely ignorant of Honkai-related academics, after all, she was a top student.

However, seeing Chen Ran's confidence, she decided to trust him for now.

Theresa said, "If there's anything you need us to cooperate with, we'll assist you."

Chen Ran made an "okay" gesture.

The four of them stopped chatting.

Himeko went to the cockpit, while Theresa organized the incident and reported it to headquarters.

Chen Ran sat with Wendy, as he had many questions for her.

But just as he was about to speak, Wendy closed her eyes, giving off a "don't disturb me" vibe.

She was being shy, playing dumb.

For a 14-year-old girl, what she had done earlier had taken all her courage.

Back then, on that unfamiliar island, it was pitch black, which allowed her to be bold. But now, Wendy had become shy.

Chen Ran couldn't help but smile at this.

Seeing no one around, he put his arm around Wendy's shoulders. "Get some rest, everything will be alright."

Wendy didn't open her eyes, but her hands fumbled around restlessly.

Only when she found Chen Ran's palm did she seem to relax, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

Three hours later, the Hyperion returned to the Far East Branch once again.

Since there was no wheelchair, Chen Ran simply picked Wendy up and disembarked from the Hyperion.

Wendy seemed a bit confused and instinctively touched his chest with her hand. "Have you gotten stronger?"

The old Chen Ran would have been a weakling crying for mercy after running just five kilometers, but these past two days, he had carried Wendy without even breaking a sweat or complaining.

Wendy hadn't noticed it before, but now that she thought about it, the current Chen Ran seemed much stronger than before.

Naturally, Chen Ran couldn't say it was a reward from the System.

After multiple simulations, the System had improved his body's compatibility with Honkai Energy and his Valkyrie combat skills.

He casually replied, "It's probably just a temporary buff from adrenaline."

"What do you mean?"

"It means you're so beautiful that I can't afford to look pathetic." Chen Ran said matter-of-factly.

Wendy sighed, "Sigh, I still miss being on the island."

"Why?"

"Because you weren't so flirtatious back then."

Even so, Wendy didn't stop Chen Ran's flirtatious behavior.

For a young girl, it was just a minor flaw, and it could even add some spice to life.

Himeko, walking ahead, heard their conversation and couldn't help but smile.

"Youth is truly wonderful."

Just then, Theresa asked, "Wendy, do you mind living with other Valkyries?"

Wendy shook her head. "I've always lived like this, I'm just worried others might not want to."

St. Freya didn't have any Sub-God Machine-type robots, so her daily life required someone to assist her.

Theresa couldn't help but look troubled.

In this situation, having Wendy live with someone else would be a burden to that person.

But having Wendy live alone would be inconvenient for her.

"Then you can stay with me..."

Just as Theresa was about to suggest Wendy stay with her, Chen Ran interjected, "It's better if she stays with me. I've gained some experience taking care of her during this time."

Wendy gave him a sideways glance but didn't refuse.

Theresa tacitly accepted their arrangement. "Alright then, but be careful when you're at the academy. Don't do anything reckless. I'll find you a suitable roommate to share the load."

Himeko, walking ahead, instinctively shook her head. Theresa really didn't understand romance.

Chapter 27: St. Freya's Special Guidance: Wendy

Chen Ran and Wendy had temporarily settled down at St. Freya.

However, Theresa was still worried about them and arranged for a roommate in their assigned four-person dormitory.

"This is Hua, an A-rank Valkyrie. I've already explained the situation to her, so feel free to ask her for help if you need anything."

Theresa introduced them to the two.

Hua adjusted his flat-lens glasses and said, "Hello everyone, I've already understood the situation."

"I will assist you during this time, please leave it to me with confidence."

Wendy puffed out her cheeks subconsciously.

Originally, she thought she and Chen Ran were the only ones living together.

However, Wendy also knew in her heart that if Chen Ran were to take care of her, setting aside the question of whether he could manage it, it would inevitably distract him.

Chen Ran himself was well aware of this, which was why he didn't refuse Theresa's arrangement of a new roommate.

What was unexpected, however, was that it turned out to be Hua.

Speaking of which, in the real world, Hua and Kevin joined the Flame-Chaser at almost the same time.

Chen Ran naturally trusted Hua; at least among the main cast, Hua was one of the more reliable ones. Moreover, the current timeline was 2014, not 2016, so there weren't any major storms to speak of.

He said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Ms. Hua."

The two shook hands gently.

Wendy's cheeks puffed out even more.

For the next period, Chen Ran became completely engrossed in the Science Department of the Far East Branch.

He didn't specifically seek out Kiana, Raiden Mei, and the others who had recently joined St. Freya. For Chen Ran, finding them would only satisfy his curiosity and serve no other purpose.

Earlier, Chen Ran had wanted to find Raiden Mei to see how her body differed from Wendy's, but it seemed there was no difference between the two.

The Divine Right Plan had a high chance of success if no one interfered.

All he was doing now was ensuring the experiment, which was destined to succeed, proceeded according to the original plan.

Hua faithfully fulfilled her role as an assistant, escorting Wendy between the Science Department and the dormitory.

Wendy also fully cooperated with Chen Ran. As Chen Ran conducted experiments, she could feel her lower limbs slowly regaining sensation, a sign that success was approaching.

She was somewhat delighted and looked forward to that day.

St. Freya, on the training grounds.

Kiana had been appeased by Theresa and finally agreed to become a student at St. Freya, hoping to find Siegfried after becoming an A-rank Valkyrie.

Currently, she, Raiden Mei, and Bronya were engaged in two-on-two combat training.

Aside from them, all other Valkyrie students were doing the same.

Just then, Himeko entered the training grounds and cleared her throat.

"Today, I've brought you a new combat training instructor, Wendy."

Hua pushed Wendy's wheelchair forward. The young girl felt no apprehension, calmly accepting the confused and even pitying gazes from everyone.

Himeko said, "Wendy graduated as an A-rank Valkyrie this year. Of course, due to a recent accident, her mobility is somewhat impaired."

"However, her theoretical foundation, historical combat achievements, and knowledge of weaponry and combat techniques are absolutely solid. I spoke with Wendy for a long time before convincing her to guide you."

"Similarly, you should all know that the path of a Valkyrie is full of unexpected twists and turns."

It was Wendy herself who requested to instruct these students.

She wasn't trying to be a know-it-all; rather, she felt it was necessary for all students to understand the unexpected dangers they might face when confronting the Honkai.

St. Freya had a very relaxed academic atmosphere, which Wendy was aware of.

However, after confronting the Honkai, such leniency would no longer be possible.

She didn't mind using her own pain as a warning to others; if it could serve as a reminder to the students, Wendy would be happy.

Only, she didn't notice that after she came out, one girl stared at her, almost entranced.

"Seele..."

Wendy wasn't the type to be overly dependent.

Even sitting in a wheelchair, she wasn't.

Although some students looked down on her due to her inconvenience, after she demonstrated near-perfect accuracy with a standard Colt pistol, everyone retracted their condescension.

Shooting training was the most basic training for Valkyries.

But even basic training didn't mean all students could master it completely.

Even at the Oceanic Branch, Wendy had never slacked off after her legs were injured.

However, due to her physical limitations, she couldn't provide individual guidance and could only briefly explain the key points of the training.

The young girl's expression was focused and serious, which made Bronya stare blankly.

"Hey, Little Pudding, you're staring at that girl and you're completely spaced out."

Kiana teased from the side, "While I understand that pretty girls always attract attention, you can't be that obvious about it."

Bronya stated calmly, "Idiot Kiana doesn't have the right to say that to Bronya yet."

It was Kiana herself who couldn't help but flock to pretty girls, so what right did she have to criticize anyone else.

Bronya was furious.

Kiana said with a grin, "So, Little Pudding, you're not denying it? That's great! That means no one will be fighting me for Mei."

Bronya stated flatly, "Mei-sister is mine."

"Uh-huh, do you want to say that in front of her?"

Kiana thought she had Bronya completely figured out.

Bronya remained expressionless, "That Wendy... she looks a lot like one of Bronya's younger sisters."

Kiana tilted her head, "Little Pudding, you have a sister? Is she as cute as you?"

"Seele is cute. Definitely way cuter than Kiana."

Only when Seele was mentioned could a subtle tenderness flicker across her cheek, a cheek that had been damaged.

Kiana scratched her head, "So, what if your sister had a boyfriend?"

Bronya froze for a moment, then saw Chen Ran had arrived at the training ground at some unknown time. Under everyone's gaze, he was talking intimately with Wendy.

The two of them were clearly more than just acquaintances, given their affectionate interaction.

Bronya suddenly spoke up, "He's a liar."

Kiana teased, "Bronya, don't tell me you're letting jealousy cloud your judgment."

The girl shook her head, offering no explanation.

Before assassinating Cocolia, she had already been an assassin on the [Charon's List]. Despite her young age, she had encountered many people, and observing micro-expressions was an essential part of her training to assassinate enemies.

Bronya quickly detected that Chen Ran's expression towards Wendy was feigned.

He hid that hint of guilt very well.
