“Potential?”
“Do you mean Honkai energy capacity and control?”
[You can understand it that way.]
[The System’s Elite promotion grants abilities and their strongest forms, but Host should have noticed after your first enhancement that merely possessing an ability does not mean you can fully utilize it.]
[For example, Host still hasn’t completely mastered Acceleration.]
[Learning an ability takes time.]
[And after two Elite promotions, further developing that ability requires talent.]
[The higher a character’s rarity, the easier that development becomes.]
“I see.”
“That makes sense.”
“Then go ahead and reinstall yourself.”
“I’ll finally get to experience one night without grinding in the training field.”
[Hey, hey.]
[I never forced Host to live inside the training field every night.]
[Don’t make me sound like some exploitative black-company System.]
[Host’s compulsive-grinder behavior is not the System’s responsibility.]
“Fine.”
“But you have to understand how urgent it feels to have no power.”
The moment she finished speaking—
Xia Ling felt her consciousness return to her body.
At the same time, System uninstall and reinstallation progress notifications began appearing.
…
“Everyone.”
“Today, I’d like to introduce a new teacher.”
After the first class of the morning ended, Himeko did not immediately leave.
Instead, she remained at the podium and made the announcement.
“A new teacher?”
“Male or female?”
“Are they hot?”
“You can’t eat good looks.”
“Isn’t the important part whether they’re strict?”
“Oh, yeah…”
The whispering did not continue for long.
Himeko cleared her throat and called toward the doorway.
“Xia Ling.”
“Come in.”
The classroom door opened slightly.
First—
Xia Ling’s little head poked through the gap and looked around.
Only after carefully checking the room did she step inside.
It had almost become an unconscious habit.
Theresa had noticed it.
But she never directly mentioned it.
Privately, she and Himeko had guessed that Xia Ling had probably developed the habit after living for a long time in a dangerous environment.
Strictly speaking—
That theory was not even wrong.
The Trials really were dangerous.
And at least for now, Xia Ling’s habit of acting like a vigilant little animal apparently counted as an adorable trait in most people’s eyes.
For example—
The students currently watching her.
“Whoa.”
“She’s tiny.”
“So cute.”
“She looks so obedient.”
“She’d probably feel amazing to hug. Hehehe…”
“Hey, why are you drooling?!”
“Kiana.”
“Kiana.”
Mei secretly poked Kiana beside her.
“I have something I don’t understand.”
“Huh?”
“You’re asking me?”
Kiana pointed at herself in shock.
But whenever Mei needed something, Kiana was always enthusiastic.
“All right!”
“Ask away, Mei!”
“I’ll do my best to explain!”
Large question marks practically floated inside Mei’s violet eyes.
“Why is it that Bronya is also petite and expressionless?”
“In fact, even more so than Big Sister Xia Ling.”
“But none of the students ever react to Bronya this…”
“Enthusiastically?”
“Hehe!”
“You asked the right person.”
Kiana looked smug.
At that moment, she finally understood the joy top students experienced when explaining something to others.
“It’s because of the gap moe, Mei.”
“Gap moe?”
“Exactly.”
“They both have the kuudere and loli attributes.”
“But Big Sister Xia Ling has one much more important charm point.”
“She’s a teacher.”
“She has this super dignified profession…”
“Yet she looks like the kind of little girl who’d immediately crouch down and cover her head if someone scared her.”
“Don’t you think that contrast is amazing?”
“Think of it like Auntie Theresa.”
“That’s basically why she’s so popular too.”
While Kiana taught Mei some extremely valuable “knowledge”—
Xia Ling had already finished introducing herself.
The identity had been hastily fabricated the previous day by Xia Ling, Himeko, and Theresa.
The general story was—
She had been a Valkyrie stationed in Shenzhou.
After suffering severe injuries and losing her teammates, she could no longer serve in frontline combat and had transferred into education.
Naturally—
The story was not particularly airtight.
However, although Otto had promised to protect Shenzhou, most Valkyries stationed there operated under concealed identities.
Fu Hua also had not returned to Shenzhou recently.
There was no reason she would specifically contact Otto about a newly arrived teacher.
After all—
Her assigned mission was merely monitoring Kiana.
“For the foreseeable future, Teacher Xia Ling will assist me with class management.”
“If another teacher becomes temporarily unavailable, Teacher Xia Ling may substitute for some classes.”
“If any of you have problems, you may also ask her for help.”
Once Xia Ling’s introduction was basically complete, Himeko stepped forward and concluded.
“All right.” The source of this chapter is g.com.
“We won’t take up any more class time.”
“If you have questions, ask Teacher Xia Ling during self-study.”
“The next class is…”
“Big Sister Himeko.”
Xia Ling quietly reminded her.
“The next teacher has been waiting outside for quite a while.”
“Oh!”
“Teacher Yang!”
“Sorry!”
“I took up some of your time.”
Only then did Himeko notice the history teacher had been standing at the door watching for quite a while.
She hurriedly apologized.
“No problem.”
“If Teacher Himeko has anything else to say, please continue.”
“It won’t delay much.”
Welt waved a hand to indicate that he did not mind.
Then—
He looked curiously toward Xia Ling.
“Teacher Himeko.”
“This is…?”
“Oh.”
“This is Xia Ling.”
“She’s a newly transferred teacher.”
“She isn’t familiar with academy affairs yet, so I’m keeping her beside me as a teaching assistant for now.”
“I see.”
“That explains why I haven’t met her before.”
Welt extended a hand toward Xia Ling.
“Hello, Teacher Xia Ling.”
“I look forward to working with you.”
Xia Ling was somewhat confused by the interaction but still shook his hand.
After a brief exchange of greetings—
She followed Himeko out of the classroom.
Strange…
Welt’s gaze deepened.
Even while beginning his lesson, part of his mind continued examining what had just happened.
There shouldn’t have been any new teaching-staff transfer orders recently.
And when we shook hands, I could clearly sense that the energy fluctuations inside her body weren’t weak.
Where exactly did this woman come from…?
What Xia Ling did not know was—
To prevent Welt from accidentally encountering Valkyries he had previously fought during his infiltration, Dr.
Tesla had always monitored every Valkyrie personnel transfer for him.
After all—
St.
Freya’s firewall might as well have not existed as far as Anti-Entropy was concerned.
Thus—
The identity that looked perfectly acceptable in Xia Ling’s eyes was filled with holes from Welt’s perspective.
Meanwhile—
Completely unaware that she had already attracted attention, Xia Ling continued performing various handover duties with Himeko.
