"I'm going to be late!" Kiana said helplessly, and had no choice but to burst into a suitable speed and continue running. There were still many pedestrians on the streets of Changkong City, and Kiana did not want to attract attention.
"Those two idiots☆"
Sirin, inside Kiana's consciousness space, let out a speechless laugh and curse.
Behind Kiana, another swaying figure appeared and slowly followed.
Fortunately, Kiana managed to arrive just before the opening ceremony of Chiba Academy began, and she practically ran into the academy right on time.
Then, under the watchful eyes of many students and teachers, she and Penglaiji Jiuxiao entered the academy's auditorium together.
"Sister Jiuxiao, why are you late too?"
Kiana, feeling slightly uncomfortable under the gaze of many people, asked in a low voice.
"Find a place to park," Penglai Temple Jiuxiao sighed in frustration.
"Hey, you two students, hurry up and find seats. Wait, why aren't you wearing your school uniform?!" someone couldn't help but say.
Penglai Temple Nine Heavens calmly took out the teacher's certificate personally issued by the principal of Qianyu Academy.
After she and Kiana found their seats, the opening ceremony of Chiba Academy officially began.
Kiana clearly didn't care about the opening ceremony. She avoided the gazes on the stage, looking around as if searching for something. Soon she saw a gentle, purple-haired girl sitting obediently, looking like a young lady from a wealthy family.
"Sister Jiuxiao, she's so beautiful!" For some reason, Kiana felt as if she had been instantly attracted to that gentle girl.
"It's Raiden Mei, the young lady of ME Company and a first-year student at Chiba Academy High School!"
Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens immediately recognized her identity and name.
Then he leaned close to Kiana's ear.
"Also a Herrscher of Thunder"
Kiana stared intently at Raiden Mei, then noticed that Raiden Mei seemed to have noticed her gaze and looked back at her. For the first time, their light purple eyes met each other's deep blue eyes.
After the opening ceremony, Houraiji Kyusho discovered that Kiana was missing. When he looked for her, Kiana had already moved close to Raiden Mei.
Raiden Mei immediately noticed that Kiana seemed to be heading straight for her with great enthusiasm, which puzzled her.
The girls surrounding Raiden Mei also saw Kiana. Before Kiana could speak to Raiden Mei, a girl gracefully blocked the way for the energetic Kiana.
"Good morning, student. What can I do for you?"
Upon hearing the haughty voice, tone, and title of the unknown young lady before her, Kiana raised an eyebrow, and then saw that Raiden Mei seemed to be preparing to leave.
"Hello, classmate, I really look forward to making friends with the daughter of the Raiden family."
The next second, Kiana gave a slight bow with impeccable elegance, smiling gently as her gaze passed over the girl before her and landed on Raiden Mei. Kiana's demeanor and movements were like those of a true European noblewoman; her azure eyes revealed a gentle yet subtle arrogance, completely disregarding the girl before her.
The stark contrast between her before and after almost made the girls, who were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, lose their composure.
After all, the girls studying at Chiyu Academy had never seen such a noblewoman's demeanor, which seemed to be cultivated only by the most elite noble families in Europe. Compared to Kiana, they were just like ordinary people.
Even though Kiana felt like throwing up inside, putting on such polite gestures made her feel uncomfortable and out of place.
Raiden Mei also looked surprised, but she quickly composed herself and smiled at Kiana, because she could tell that Kiana disliked such etiquette.
"Okay!" Raiden Mei immediately shed her pampered princess demeanor and lightly raised her hand to Kiana.
Raiden Mei didn't really know why she was so interested in this white-haired girl with two Roman curls.
"Let's go!" Kiana instantly abandoned her previous demeanor, grinning foolishly as she excitedly pulled Raiden Mei away.
Only a group of stunned girls remained standing there.
"The gears of fate have begun to turn," Penglai Temple Nine Heavens nodded in satisfaction.
Chapter 523 is very simple.
On the afternoon of December 6, 2013, in Changkong City
After the midterm exams at Qianyu Academy, the young boys and girls flocked to the results board to look for their scores.
"This exam was so difficult!"
"I think I bombed the exam."
"I shouldn't have done that question the way I did it!"
However, they all looked surprised when they saw the name that was ranked first in the grade on the results board.
"She's in first place? How could this be?"
"How could Sister Thunder only be ranked second? Is there something wrong with that?"
"I heard that her class's homeroom teacher, Ms. Hōraiji, is her older sister? Could it be true?"
"The questions for this exam were randomly selected; how could anyone have known them beforehand?"
"Oh dear, Sister Thunder and that person are coming together!"
Raiden Mei and Kiana came to the results section together, but Kiana was just accompanying Mei.
Some students from Chiyu Academy greeted Raiden Mei and Kiana, while others quickly avoided them. The students of Chiyu Academy each had their own distinct cliques, and joining a clique that didn't belong to them would only result in ridicule and exclusion.
Changkong City, including Qianyu Academy, is basically the home of the Raiden family. As the eldest daughter of the Raiden family, Raiden Mei naturally forms her own little circle. The only people who can come into contact with her are girls from similarly wealthy families, most of whose families are closely related to the Raiden family.
However, their little circle, which had always consisted of only them, was suddenly disrupted by an outsider, who then dragged Raiden Mei, the core of their circle, away.
This made many young girls very resentful, feeling that he was too xenophobic.
Raiden Mei nodded slightly in response, while Kiana stared intently at Raiden Mei, occasionally grinning foolishly.
The surrounding students quieted down for a moment and secretly watched the two of them.
Raiden Mei was slightly disappointed after seeing her grades. Since meeting Kiana, she had never seen Kiana study seriously, if simply glancing at the textbook and supplementary materials counted.
"Hmph? You're actually surprised by my grades?" Kiana glanced at the results board, saw that she was ranked first in the grade, and then looked at the disappointed Raiden Mei.
"Aren't these questions very simple?"
Raiden Mei blinked her light purple eyes and saw Kiana's somewhat foolish look, realizing that Kiana seemed to really think that way.
Those questions were really easy for Kiana.
“But it’s really difficult for me,” Raiden Mei said, looking troubled.
Raiden Mei usually doesn't have much time or energy to focus on her studies at the academy in the evenings. She also has to practice kendo, learn advanced electromagnetism, hone her Honkai energy skills, and manipulate her Herrscher powers.
"That's easy! Leave it to me! I'll teach you!" Kiana puffed out her chest and confidently gripped Raiden Mei's hand.
“Well, I can only schedule it from four to five in the afternoon each day,” Raiden Mei replied after considering her schedule, without rejecting Kiana’s suggestion.
"Sure! How about coming to my house?" Kiana was a little disappointed, but quickly nodded and invited with a smile.
"Okay," Raiden Mei nodded naturally. She was a little surprised that she didn't seem to be against it, and besides, tomorrow was Kiana's birthday? Raiden Mei pondered what gift she should prepare for Kiana.
However, Raiden Mei completely failed to notice the resentful looks from the girls around her, who were gritting their teeth.
Class was about to start again, and Kiana and Raiden Mei quickly returned to the classroom together.
"Ahem, your math teacher is sick today, so I'll be filling in," Penglaiji Jiuxiao said as he entered the classroom, coughing lightly and looking sternly at the students.
However, the students in the class relaxed as soon as they saw Penglaiji Jiuxiao. Although Penglaiji-sensei was a new and young homeroom teacher, her relaxed and approachable teaching style was unique in the past few months, and the students were more willing to attend her classes.
That's right, it seems that Teacher Penglaiji hasn't graduated from his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) yet.
After school ended at 4 p.m., Kiana excitedly dragged Raiden Mei out of the school.
A black Maybach was already parked at the school gate.
Kiana familiarly pulled Raiden Mei into the car.
"Uncle, come to my house!" Kiana called out happily to the driver.
Wearing a disguise mask, Siegfried nodded sadly and drove in silence.
After Kiana arrived in Changkong City, Siegfried also took the opportunity to contact his old friend Raiden Ryoma. Unfortunately, he was under Sirin's constant surveillance, and if he wasn't careful, he would have to return to his strange state of being unable to contact anyone. Siegfried had no way of telling Sirin about her.
During this period, he could only temporarily act as the driver for the Raiden family's Maybach, responsible for picking up and dropping off Kiana and Raiden Mei.
However, just as Siegfried was driving close to Kiana's apartment, he suddenly sensed something and immediately contacted Raiden Ryoma.
Kiana and Raiden Mei, who were quietly discussing the upcoming study session in the car, suddenly fell silent.
'Honkai energy?'
The same question arose in the minds of the three of them.
"Sister Sirin! How come there are Honkai energy appearing in Changkong City?!" Kiana hurriedly asked Sirin.
【Huh?】Cirin, who was happily eating snacks and playing games, was taken aback.
Honkai energy? Hmm? Honkai energy on Earth? Oh~ guided by that cocoon on the moon.
[Ask your sister Jiuxiao] Xilin immediately threw the question to Jiuxiao without hesitation.
[Sister Sirin, you've changed!] Kiana misses the strict Sister Sirin from before. The current Sister Sirin seems to have become a homebody.
【Huh?】Cirin was stunned.
However, while Kiana contacted Jiuxiao and prepared to rescue people, she discovered that someone seemed to have been infected with Honkai energy.
Kiana!
"Mei!"
But Kiana and Raiden Mei spoke almost simultaneously.
"Let's go rescue them!" Kiana said immediately.
"?" Raiden Mei was stunned for a moment. She didn't know Kiana's identity, nor did she sense any Honkai energy on Kiana.
Siegfried had already parked the Maybach on the side of the road. Before Raiden Mei could even ask any questions, Kiana pulled her out, and the two of them headed together to the location of the small-scale Honkai outbreak.
"Hiss, I still can't figure it out." Siegfried stood by the car, took out a cigarette and smoked it while looking very troubled.
How could Sirin and that girl have raised Kiana to be such a perplexing person? Not only is she intelligent, resourceful, and capable, but her manners are also completely unlike those of someone from the Kaslana family. Although Kiana occasionally makes silly mistakes, she also has a strong sense of justice and often helps ordinary people affected by the Honkai during her travels around the world.
He doesn't look like a Herrscher at all.
"Is this still a Herrscher?" Siegfried asked, puzzled.
"Thump!" Siegfried's head was suddenly hit hard by a baseball bat formed from Honkai energy.
"Sirin!!!" he gritted his teeth and roared. It's happening again! Every time Kiana and the Herrscher are mentioned these past few years, he gets a beating.
"Heh heh heh, what right do you have to judge us Herrschers?" Sirin's arrogant voice reached Siegfried's ears.
Siegfried sulked and remained silent.
the other side
Kiana and Raiden Mei rushed into a small alley and rescued the students of Chiba Academy who were being attacked by Honkai zombies infected by Honkai energy.
"Asakura-san, are you alright?" Kiana kicked the Honkai zombie away, saving Asakura Miyuki, and then quickly checked her condition.
Kiana remembered the appearances and names of all the students at Chiba Academy, so she naturally recognized this classmate.
"Kiana? Huh? Raiden Mei?" Asakura Miyuki looked at Kiana with a lingering sense of shock, and then saw Raiden Mei holding a katana.
Raiden Mei gripped a katana formed from Honkai energy and slashed at the neck of the Honkai corpse.
This was also the first time she had seen the Honkai Corpse her father had mentioned, and her first real combat experience. However, Raiden Mei was very steady in her movements and dealt with the Honkai Corpse swiftly and decisively.
Miyuki Asakura was completely stunned. She didn't notice that Kiana had absorbed the Honkai energy from her, nor did Raiden Mei.
"Let's go back to the car first," Kiana said calmly, glancing at the dismembered Honkai corpse before speaking to Raiden Mei and Asakura Miyuki, whose faces were somewhat pale.
"Hmm," Raiden Mei nodded, then took out her phone and contacted ME Company staff to handle the situation.
Miyuki Asakura was completely stunned, unable to come to her senses. What was going on in this world?!
After returning to the Raiden family's Maybach, Kiana then spoke to Raiden Mei.
"Asakura-san is alright now, just a bit shaken up."
"Should we get it checked out?"
Raiden Mei was somewhat worried. After becoming the Herrscher of Thunder a few years ago, she had already learned about the cruel truth of this world from her father. It was different from what she had imagined; people could die!
"I've already removed the Honkai energy from her body," Kiana replied casually.
As soon as she said that, Siegfried, who had been pretending to be a wooden doll, immediately turned around and looked over, while Raiden Mei looked at Kiana with confusion.
Raiden Ryoma told Raiden Mei that ordinary people without Honkai energy resistance would only be infected and turn into Honkai corpses after coming into contact with a certain concentration of Honkai energy!
