Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 28 Welcome to the Far East Branch

"My head hurts so much..."

Another wave of dizziness washed over him, and Qiong opened his eyes. What was happening to him?

"Little Grey, are you alright?"

"Kiana? What's wrong?"

Looking at Kiana, whose eyes showed concern, Qiong was a little confused.

"You didn't get brain damage from your period, did you...?"

Was he stunned by Theresa's attack? Oh, I remember now.

----------------

Although one of Sora's goals is indeed to join the Far East Branch St. Freya and achieve world peace, he must ensure the normality of the world line before that. Otherwise, if things get chaotic, how can he predict and fine-tune the future?

Therefore, after Theresa invited him to St. Freya to "meet the parents," the parent who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Qiong, refused no matter what, citing various reasons such as distrust, unfamiliarity, and unwillingness. Besides, he had finally gotten into university and ended that not-so-pleasant period. Did Theresa think she could pull him back with just one sentence? No way!

Despite Sora's repeated refusals, and the combined efforts of Kiana and Alvite to persuade her to no avail, everyone was exhausted from talking. After all, the main focus at that time was cleaning up the damage caused by the ravens. However, Sora did not notice Theresa's increasingly irritable mood.

"Hey kid, are you coming with us or not?!"

After Theresa asked again, Sora decided to decline once more.

"Let's talk about it later..."

Qiong was still trying to play it safe, but the rather childlike Theresa had reached her limit of patience.

In this situation, the headmaster will not reason with you; he will only use the most efficient methods.

"Give me a straight answer, are you coming or not?"

"A real man means he won't leave if he says he won't!"

"good very good!"

Then Sora knew nothing more.

-------------

"I never expected that my aunt would be as strong as me; she knocked you out with one punch!"

If Theresa had been any more ruthless, Kiana had reason to believe that Sora, who hadn't died at Raven's hands, would likely not have escaped death today.

"No wonder my head hurts so much... Are we in the sky?!"

Qiong rubbed his head and looked around. The sound was deafening, and the clouds outside the window were changing...

Was he tethered to the spaceship by Theresa?

“My aunt said this is Helios, and I was quite surprised when I saw it.”

The Helios? Not the Hyperion?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's just picking up a few people; there's no need to deploy the Far East Branch's best warship. The most durable and frequently used transport ship, the Helios, which has been in use since the beginning of the storyline when it betrayed Schicksal, would be enough.

But Qiong thought it was too extravagant. They were all in the Far East; they could just take a commercial flight, right? Just because Otto reimbursed them, did that mean they could squander resources without restraint? Although he didn't know for sure, he always felt that using this kind of warship was definitely more expensive than taking a commercial flight.

The problem now is, if it were civilian transportation, he would have a chance to escape, but on the Helios, it's no different from being on a pirate ship... He can't get off. Now that he's been caught by Theresa, and Kiana has been taken away by Theresa, the timeline is messed up, who's going to fix it?!

"I don't really like your aunt's unfriendly approach. Who resorts to violence when things don't go well?"

If he really messes up the timeline and ruins his plan to lie low, Qiong will really consider giving Theresa the little doll—cursing her to become a stupid Theresa!

"Let's not talk about that now," Kiana said helplessly. She couldn't stop Theresa either. "I don't think Auntie and the others are bad people. They're probably just not good with words, so they have to resort to violence. Why don't we go see Auntie? Don't worry, I know you don't trust her, but you can trust me! I'll protect you if anything happens!"

After calming herself by glancing at the waves created by the white fluffy ball patting its chest, Qiong's mind immediately determined that these words were not to be trusted.

You, a mere paramecium, are protecting me? I just don't believe you.

"Hehe...I'm getting off! I have things to do in Changkong City!"

"What could a gray-haired guy like you who doesn't remember anything have to do with? Oh right, your baseball bat and that sword are with Miss Liar."

"You mean Alvitt? She's here too?"

“Yeah, yeah, your guardian is here too, so you can’t run away even if you want to,” Kiana shrugged. “Maybe if you go back with your aunt you’ll actually see your family, so just behave yourself.”

"Alright, alright."

Qiong sighed, deciding to assess the situation before making any plans. Since he was currently penniless, he figured he could find a way to raise some funds in a few days. As the appointed time approached, he'd persuade Kiana to run away to Changkong City to save the day. He could easily fool a white-haired girl with an external brain that was about to activate; surely he had that kind of skill?

However, when exactly was the Third Honkai Impact...?

"Oh, you're finally awake? It took me quite a bit of effort to get you, you heavy little guy, onto the spaceship."

"Theresa..."

The culprit who knocked Qiong unconscious suddenly appeared in front of the victim.

"You should call me Headmaster!"

With her arms crossed, Theresa, thinking she was exuding an air of authority, uttered her "authoritative" voice.

"I heard from Kiana that you're just as strong as her, and that you easily took down the thugs and Asakura Miyuki, who was infected by Honkai energy, with a baseball bat, right?"

When Qiong looked behind Theresa and saw Asakura Miyuki, who was still half asleep, she realized that she hadn't paid attention to her for hours since she met Raven.

No, I'm already awake, why aren't you awake yet? Did I hurt you with that stick?

No, it must be a problem with the medication that Yalvit was injected with!

"With some additional information, I deduce that your Honkai energy adaptability is far higher than that of an average male, and may even meet the standards to become a Valkyrie. Fill out an application form and then go for a physical examination."

“Principal Theresa,” Qiong raised her hand, interrupting her, “let alone whether I agree to become your student, what if I don’t meet the requirements?”

After all, he was probably using imaginary energy or a variant of Martian shadow Honkai energy, so it's hard to say whether it can be detected.

"That's alright. Anyway, our health room teacher is short of an assistant, or you can work part-time as a school worker."

To everyone's surprise, the clouds outside the window suddenly began to rise, which meant...

"Reporting to the Headmaster, docking with control is complete, and we are landing!"

The report transmitted through Theresa's earpiece meant that they had arrived at the infamous St. Freya Academy, the Far East Demon Cave that had nurtured the Origin Truth of the End, as well as the five Herrschers of Knowledge and Wind, who possessed a total of nine Herrscher powers.

And now, the first Herrscher student, the prospective Herrscher of the Void Kiana, is about to enroll. St. Freya is about to welcome its most outstanding student in history.

"Alright everyone, welcome to the Far East Branch St. Freya Academy."
