In the classroom, seeing "To Be Continued" appear on the big screen, the entire class felt unsatisfied and still wanting more.
This Honkai Impact 3rd is indeed nice to watch, the only drawback is that it's too short.
'Damn it, why can't this Ai-chan be a little more diligent, and update seven or eight or even ten times in one go?'
Looking at the classmates around him all expressing that it wasn't enough, Van had something he wanted to curse but didn't know if he should say it or not.
It wasn't your relationship being exposed, so of course, you all don't care, right? But really, you can't say it... really can't.
As for Kiana and the others, whose relationships were exposed, their attitudes toward the video were unexpectedly calm.
They were originally celebrities of St. Freya Academy, so the exposure of the video could be considered neither painful nor itchy for them.
And someone like Theresa, who was trying to use the video to boost her own prestige in the real world, was even wishing for more exposure of her heroic presence.
To prevent her big toe from scratching out a whole apartment (three-bedroom and one living room) on the classroom floor out of embarrassment,
Van escaped the classroom at the first opportunity after class.
...
On the other side, St. Freya Academy, Conference Room No. 1.
Many of St. Freya Academy's senior members gathered in one place.
Since the principal Theresa was not good at handling this kind of occasion, Himeko gloriously replaced her and became the "One-Day Principal."
"You all are saying that one week from now, Dr. Mobius from the Infinite Lab and a group of scientists from the Anti-Entropy Lab will come to our school for academic exchange?"
Looking at the complicated expressions on the academy leaders' faces, Himeko felt that this world was becoming something she could no longer understand.
If it weren't already confirmed that the news was real, Himeko would have thought they had been targeted by some organization in northern Myanmar.
After finishing all the preparations, Himeko announced the meeting's end.
Looking at the documents the school had sorted and handed to her, Himeko's thoughts had already flown out of the atmosphere.
She didn't know why, but her sixth sense told her that the true purpose of these labs was not the academic exchange shown on the surface...
Though St. Freya Academy is considered a top school in Changkong City, looking at the entire Far East region, it still wasn't much.
And all those labs mentioned were world-renowned scientific teams. What capabilities or merits did their St. Freya Academy have to warrant such an academic exchange?
"So, what exactly is their goal?" Staring out the window, Himeko muttered to herself.
Ding dong~
Himeko felt the phone in her pocket lightly vibrate. She took it out and looked.
[Your specially followed UP host @MiHoYo's No.1 Idol Ai-chan has updated, come watch now!]
Looking at the message in the notification bar, a ridiculous thought suddenly popped into Himeko's mind.
"They... couldn't have come because of this video, right..."
———
At night, after a whole day of busyness, Himeko finally returned home. Pushing open the door, Himeko leaned against the wall at the entrance. Thinking of the overwhelming work that left her dizzy all day, she sighed helplessly.
"Theresa really left me with a big mess..."
As she spoke, Himeko bent down, hooked the heel of her high heel with her finger, and gave a gentle pull. The high heel smoothly slid off her foot with a soft "tap."
Freed from the restraint of the heels, the thin black stockings like cicada wings revealed a delicate gloss under the light. The seam of the stockings stretched along her long instep, outlining perfect curves.
She lifted her other foot, toe gently touching the floor, the heel dangling in the air swaying a little. Then with a light push from her fingertip, the shoe dropped onto the floor not far away.
"Whew~ I'm exhausted!"
After lifting the seal, Himeko couldn't wait to open the refrigerator and took out a can of beer.
Her throat gently moved as she swallowed, the refreshing taste of the beer spread from the tip of her tongue to her stomach, dispelling the fatigue of the day.
"Ah~ so satisfying!"
Casually pulling out her phone from her pocket, Himeko quickly browsed through the work group chat. After confirming there were no missed messages, she glanced at the class group chat.
Just like always, the little ones in the group were chatting about the trendiest topics among young people.
Seeing all the new buzzwords popping up in the group, Himeko instantly felt like she had already fallen behind the times.
"Unknowingly, I'm already 30 years old huh~"
She casually threw the beer can in her hand into the trash bin, feeling the youthful energy coming from the other side of the screen,
And sighed, "Maybe, after this busy period is over, I'll find time to date someone?"
Then, Himeko shook her head in self-mockery.
Women of her age already had trouble finding a partner, not to mention her kind of work made it even more difficult.
After all, the well-known "three types to avoid in blind dates" included teachers like her.
"Forget it, I'll just put all my heart into the education industry. After all, love hurts, but teaching doesn't."
After saying that, Himeko undressed as she walked toward the bathroom.
However, what Himeko didn't know was that in another timeline, teaching and nurturing students would not only bring pain, but also death.
———
[The next morning.]
Just like usual, Himeko walked into the office in her high heels. But if you looked closely, her steps were a bit slower than usual.
Looking at the desk full of densely packed lesson plans, Himeko couldn't help but yawn, a bit of physiological tears seeping from the corner of her eyes.
Raising her hand to rub her temples, she felt her head groggy, as if it had been filled with lead.
"Teacher Himeko didn't rest well last night?" The math teacher from the neighboring class peeked out, asking with concern, "You don't look so good, was it because of the academic exchange?"
Himeko forced a smile, tidied up the lesson plans and held them in her hands.
"Yeah, I didn't sleep well last night." She said, standing up and getting ready to leave.
"Sigh~ I haven't been sleeping well these days either." The math teacher sighed.
"Dealing with those brats in our class is already exhausting, now the school wants to take away even our rest time just to prepare for that so-called academic exchange. Don't you think that's just utter nonsense?"
"This job of ours... it's killing us..."
After leaving the office, the complaints slowly faded into the air.
The weather outside the window was gloomy and gray. Himeko walked down the corridor of the teaching building just like that.
Thinking of last night, Himeko couldn't help but yawn again.
She really hadn't slept well. Because she had a dream, and in that dream...
She died.
She died to save her student, Kiana Kaslana.
