Someone in Honkai, the Cheat is Bouncing

She couldn't calm down at all and asked in surprise:

"Teacher, how old are you now?"

"Nineteen."

Ren Yu was concise.

"Teacher, since you're so strong, why aren't you teaching us combat instead of being that psychological guidance counselor?"

"..." How should I know!

Bringing that up, Ren Yu felt a bit speechless.

He'd originally planned to teach martial arts here, but who knew Theresa would insist on him taking that figurehead psychology advisor role.

Had she seen through something?

That made sense—his credentials were all from the Americas, so it was natural to be linked to Anti-Entropy.

Forget it.

Ren Yu shook his head. It didn't matter.

His mission was just to confuse the trail and let Old Yang, aka Miss Wadeline, go deeper undercover anyway.

Besides, after this job, he wouldn't owe Anti-Entropy any favors. Then the sky was the limit—with his skills, where couldn't he go?

"How would I know? Maybe the students here need a teacher to help with their psychological issues."

Ren Yu gave a vague, made-up answer.

"Is that so?"

Kiana rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

Huh, that kind of made sense!

St. Freya Academy was an all-girls school, and recently the Valkyrie candidates had been clamoring louder and louder to introduce male students.

Maybe this teacher was here to address that psychological issue?

"Then you've got your work cut out for you."

Out of nowhere, Kiana said that.

But Ren Yu didn't catch it at all.

He looked at the students coming and going around him, feeling oddly like he was back on Blue Star.

A year had passed!

Yes, Ren Yu was a transmigrator. It had been a year since he'd gone from being plagued by illness to crossing over into this world.

Aside from the occasional 'Honkai' phenomenon, the Honkai Impact 3rd world was actually extremely similar to Blue Star.

As for what Honkai was...

It was pretty much like the famous "Great Filter" theory.

—Countless civilizations evolve and develop, eventually entering the Great Filter for screening. Those that pass continue to survive; those that don't get a GG and all perish, waiting for the next cycle.

Except Honkai was far stricter and crueler than the Great Filter mechanism.

It was like a clinging bone cancer—the stronger human technology became, the more violent the Honkai phenomena grew.

So far, Honkai manifested in various forms: massive natural disasters, lethal contagious viruses, meteor impacts, summoning powerful Honkai Beasts, or even Honkai Herrschers.

They did everything to hinder civilization's progress, preventing humanity from using existing tech to deal with disasters without losses.

That was Honkai's method.

As he thought, Ren Yu's mind drifted off.

Suddenly, Kiana's crisp voice pulled him back.

"Teacher, what are you still daydreaming about? If we don't leave soon, don't blame me for not warning you when we miss dinner."

Ren Yu shot Kiana a glare, grabbed the suitcase behind him, and followed.

"Lead the way!"

Chapter 3: Embroidered Badge on the Body

The dormitory St. Freya assigned to teachers was a single suite, about a hundred square meters, fully furnished with everything.

After stowing his luggage, Ren Yu went back downstairs and followed Kiana to the legendary Valkyrie training grounds.

Besides the two of them, there were many female students there—whether they were in class or training, Ren Yu didn't know.

By then, Kiana had changed out of her everyday dress into a fitted Valkyrie combat suit.

"Hey, teacher, where are you looking?"

"Not at you. Don't flatter yourself."

Kiana raised an eyebrow and snorted.

"Other people won't do either—who knows what you're thinking."

Ren Yu was simply too young, so young that Kiana forgot he was a "teacher"; he felt more like a senior to her.

Since he was like a senior, it was fine to talk about topics between young people.

"I'm not thinking anything."

Ren Yu shook his head and spread his hands.

Having lived through the era of information explosion, he had seen all kinds of big scenes and had very high standards.

The sight of female students training in form-fitting attire was nothing he took to heart.

"Don't go spreading rumors. If any gossip actually gets out, what am I supposed to do?"
