“My dear student Kiana, if you keep sleeping during self-study, I’ll have to limit your game time at night, you know.”
“Oh, no, that doesn’t seem to solve the root problem.
How about this: I’ll team up with Bronya and we’ll open smurf accounts to snipe you in whatever game you play, leaving you with no gaming experience whatsoever.
How does that sound?”
Standing next to Kiana’s seat, Selia reached out a hand and vigorously ruffled the white-haired furball sleeping on the desk.
“Wah, Sister Selia, are you a devil?
You must be a devil!” Kiana’s head was being tormented by Selia, but she didn’t dare to resist at all.
She could only lie on the desk, wailing: “I won’t sleep anymore, I won’t sleep anymore, is that okay?
Sister Selia, please don’t ruin my gaming experience!”
“Hmph, with your skill level, you wouldn’t have a good gaming experience even without being sniped.”
Selia finally let go of Kiana’s soft white hair and tapped on the desk: “Hurry up and read for a bit.
You’re still sleeping when school’s about to end.”
“Okay, okay.”
Watching Kiana pull out a book with a troubled expression and start reviewing, Selia nodded in satisfaction and slowly walked back to the podium.
Unbeknownst to her, four days had already passed in Selia’s life as an assistant teacher.
The teachers of Saint Freya were all very capable.
In these four days, no teacher had asked Selia to substitute for them due to personal matters or other reasons.
So, during these four days, Selia only appeared in the classroom during the self-study period before school ended each afternoon, and during the midday break.
Although her appearances were not frequent, Selia left a very deep impression on the students in the class.
Aside from her high-intensity supervision of Kiana in class every day, Selia’s sense of direction, or lack thereof, was also fully exposed during these few days.
The first and foremost victim was our honest Fu Hua.
In four days, this dedicated class monitor had given Selia directions to the office a total of five times, and personally led the way three times.
Other students also, more or less, experienced scenarios where Selia would randomly appear somewhere and start asking for directions.
It wasn’t until Bronya, who couldn’t stand it anymore, risked violating school rules to secretly modify the navigation function of Selia’s teacher terminal that this phenomenon finally slowed down.
However, Selia’s authority probably wouldn’t be returning (sad).
However, for Selia, today was a long-awaited day.
Because once midnight passed tonight, it would have been seven days since her last trial.
In other words, tonight, Selia would embark on a journey of trials once again.
However, if it were just the trials, it wouldn’t have made Selia so excited.
What truly gave Selia immense motivation was the compensation she received after the System upgrade was completed three days ago.
In the System mailbox, besides the six originium shards from the newcomer gift pack, there was also a long apology letter and a compensation gift pack.
And in the compensation gift pack, lay something that made Selia’s eyes light up.
“Advanced Veteran Operator Training Invitation Letter”
“Allows you to directly promote one acquired character card to elite 2 stage.”
Selia was no stranger to this item.
In the Arknights gift packs of her previous life, its appearance frequency was not low.
However, for Selia at this moment, this item was extremely precious.
Just Elite 1 alone allowed Selia, an ordinary person, to gain abilities sufficient to contend with B-rank Valkyries.
Selia dared not imagine what kind of strength a six-star character would have after elite 2.
She should at least be able to contend with Sister Himeko.
This way, at least in the early stages of the story, she would have the capital to participate.
And now, she only needed to acquire five more originium shards, and Selia could get the half-price six-star voucher from the shop.
After asking the System, Selia learned that after clearing the third layer, the total rewards from the trial would be 6 originium shards, 2 hope, and one random collectible.
Isn’t that just perfect?
Exactly enough.
So Selia was now full of confidence, ready to contend with the mini-boss of the third stage.
Time quickly came to night.
With Kiana’s puzzled expression, Selia turned off the game early, citing that she was very tired today due to staying up too late yesterday, and returned to her room early.
Although “early” here referred to almost midnight.
After taking a shower beforehand and returning to her room, Selia, as she said, went to bed early and closed her eyes.
“System, hurry, hurry, I can’t wait, bring on the new trial already.”
As soon as she entered the System Space, Selia impatiently called out to the System.
“I know, I know, Host.
You’re so anxious, aren’t you afraid of an emergency blockade?”
“What’s there to be afraid of?
I’ll just kill, kill, kill.
If it’s too much, I’ll just restart.”
Selia stood with her hands on her hips, very confident.
“You’d better be this confident when you’re being chased by a group of people.”
The System grumbled, then started the trial.
“Please select difficulty.”
“Challenge Nature – 1”
“Challenge Nature – 1 selected.
Enemy difficulty +0, cipher modification probability 0%, normalized environment.”
“Cultural Comparison Buff Level: 43”
“Please select squad.”
“Choose Logistics Squad.”
A logistics start, this was the best starting method Selia found after her Elite 1.
After Elite 1, Selia had the strength to fight in most normal combat stages, and could directly escape from emergency operations, so the skip-stage strategy with three Foldartals, like when she first transmigrated, was no longer very suitable.
Since Selia currently didn’t have any other characters, various tactical squads were also largely useless.
Then the only choice was the Logistics Squad.
Not only could she gamble for collectibles on the first layer to strengthen herself, but even if she couldn’t get any, she could choose to save money.
Facing a saving System that wouldn’t malfunction, Selia’s saving efficiency was still very high.
“Please select recruitment combination.”
“As I please.”
Due to the special nature of Selia’s weapon, the System judged her as being able to be any of a Guard, Sniper, or Specialist.
So most of the time, Selia would choose “As I please” to start.
Anyway, if she really didn’t get any of the three classes, she would just restart.
Three recruitment vouchers slowly reappeared on the light screen in front of Selia: Advanced Defender, Guard, Medic.
Skillfully clicking on the Guard recruitment voucher and selecting herself, Selia was about to proceed to the next step when she was suddenly stopped by the System.
“Wait, Host, don’t rush to continue.”
“Look, isn’t the Support Recruitment on your recruitment voucher lit up?”
“!” Selia quickly clicked on the Advanced Defender recruitment voucher.
Sure enough, in the upper right corner of the screen, the Support Recruitment option had changed from dull gray to orange-yellow.
“Because the Host has already formed bonds in reality, everyone who considers you a friend in their heart will appear in Support Recruitment.”
“Wow, is this the legendary truth detector?” Selia was a little eager to try: “By the way, System, what if no one appears after I click it?
That would be too embarrassing.”
“You need to have more confidence in yourself, Host.
Whether it’s what you think or not, you’ll know if you just open it and see.”
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
