Chapter 73 Don't tell anyone
Chapter 73 Don't tell anyone
"Come on, let me show you the results of my training these past few days!"
After spending several days, half laughing and joking and half cramming, Kiana finally faced her makeup exam.
Kiana, brimming with confidence, entered the classroom and received her make-up exam paper from the Great Demon King Welt.
Five minutes later, one sentence kept repeating in her mind:
It's over, it's over.
Miracles do exist, but Bronya isn't a god; she couldn't carry Kiana. Even after Bronya's virtual tutoring in multiple subjects, including history, geography, and biology, Kiana only went from knowing nothing to knowing a little bit about everything. As a result, Kiana failed her exam again, and her dream of passing the makeup exam vanished.
Of course, passing the test is not entirely impossible, as long as Lao Yang and the other examiners are kind enough to give Kiana several tens of points for neatness on each paper.
Kiana walked out of the exam room one after the other with a dejected look on her face, inwardly groaning. She had thought she would pass the makeup exam easily, but now she was certain that she would fail.
"How did the exam go, Kiana?" Sora and Bronya, who were just playing games, waited for Kiana to come out. Kiana had been saying that she wanted to go out for a nice meal after the exam.
"It still doesn't work... I feel like I bombed the test! Little gray-haired Bronya, it's not that I didn't try, I tried my best!"
Qiong, on the other hand, seemed quite calm.
"It's okay, we can always try again next time."
"Kiana, your hard work is evident to your teacher."
Walter gently patted Kiana on the shoulder. At times like these, encouragement is necessary; one must never scold someone and dampen the student's enthusiasm.
"I took a quick look, and you got at least 30 points in history this time. There's a lot of room for improvement. Good luck on the next exam!"
"Thank you, teacher. I will do my best!"
The extinguished flame of confidence has been rekindled, but how long will it last? Nobody knows.
Looking at the spirited Kiana and Old Yang beside her, Qiong felt like she had forgotten something.
Oh, I remember now, it's the Rift.
"Uncle Yang, could you come over here for a moment? I need to talk to you about something."
"what's up?"
Walter walked up to Dora with a puzzled look on his face.
"I feel like the star core must have exploded a little."
Qiong made a gesture of pointing to the universe.
"It was suppressed by something afterward, but it still seems to have created a small rift at Qianyu Academy—Uncle Yang, please don't look at me like that, I'm scared..."
"Little Grey, what did you say to Teacher Welt? Why did he suddenly act like he wanted to eat people? Bronya, what do you think?"
"It must be that idiot Kiana's fault."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Okay, stop guessing, it has nothing to do with you guys."
Before Welt could unleash his fury, Qiong successfully pulled Kiana and Bronya out of Old Yang's sight and they were safe.
"Didn't we say we were going to eat out? Come on, let's go out with Mei."
-------------
"Sure enough, no matter what kind of school it is, there will always be a food street outside."
"You could have come much earlier, but I forgot to call you."
"So, you still skipped class? That doesn't make sense, where did you find the time to skip class?"
"What do you mean by skipping class? I was just forced to come out occasionally to improve my meals while I was in the hospital because my aunt's bitter melon was so awful!"
The four of them arrived outside the school. Except for Kiana, who hadn't left the school many times, they were all looking around.
Suddenly, Bronya couldn't move.
"What's wrong, Bronya?"
Raiden Mei was the first to notice Bronya's unusual behavior. Following Bronya's gaze, Raiden Mei saw a yellow rabbit icon.
"Mei-neechan, you guys go ahead, Bronya still has some things to do!"
After greeting the three, Bronya floated towards the Houmu specialty store.
But Bronya was stopped by Kiana after only taking one step.
"Bronya, there's no need for that. You like the Houmu comics, right? Auntie has a whole set! I'll lend it to you! Let's eat first!"
Since Kiana had said so, Bronya naturally couldn't insist on leaving the group. She should eat first, since they had agreed on that.
I'll come back later.
"Seriously, Bronya, what's so great about those Houmu comics? Every time I go back, I basically see my aunt hugging a Houmu doll, drinking bitter melon juice, and reading comics. She even tries to drag me over to read and drink with her! Does she think I'm a child?"
Bronya was convinced that Kiana couldn't understand the passion of Houmu fans. In her opinion, this was the best way for Houmu enthusiasts to get closer to each other. Theresa wanted to get closer to Kiana, but the idiot didn't even realize it and was complaining to them!
The bitter melon juice portion is excluded.
"And for some reason, almost every book has Mr. Walter's name on the first page. I even asked my aunt if these were borrowed from Mr. Walter, but she said no... Isn't that strange? My aunt bought them herself, so why is Mr. Walter's name written on them? Bronya, do you know that?"
Bronya couldn't understand why the headmaster did this.
"So there are things you don't know?"
“Bronya isn’t omniscient or omnipotent, of course there are things she doesn’t know.”
"What do you guys think of Mei and that little gray-haired girl?"
"Forehead……"
Bronya noticed that Sora seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"Qiong, do you know something? You promised Bronya you'd tell her everything you knew!"
"Hey, hey, hey, didn't I promise you about the projector?"
Bronya shook her head.
Bronya's request was "to tell me everything you know," not just to project it.
Bronya has an unusual obsession with Houm. On one hand, there's Bronya who's determined to get what she wants, and on the other hand, there's Sora who feels a little guilty about having to trick Bronya later...
Oh well, it's not a big deal. Anyway, Theresa found out, and everyone else will find out sooner or later.
"Uncle Yang, he, he..."
"What about him?"
Kiana, while eating some kebabs she bought from a roadside vendor, interjected, "Hey, why don't you say something! Everyone, buy something to try first. We came out here to enjoy good food! Eat up, eat up!"
"He is the author of Houmu comics."
Bronya, who had reached out to take the skewers from Raiden Mei's hand, trembled and almost dropped the food.
"Are you serious? Bronya didn't hear me wrong, did she?"
"Why would I lie to you? Uncle Yang is actually a cartoonist in private."
However, considering the expression on Old Yang's face when Theresa found out and saw him again... Qiong decided to add one more sentence.
"Don't tell anyone, whatever you do, don't tell anyone! Even if you do, don't say I told you! Otherwise, we're done!"
To reassure Qiong, Bronya gave a proper salute.
"Bronya would never betray her comrades!"
-----------------
"Ain, do as I say. Send several more mechs to closely monitor Senba Academy, hiss..."
Walter Young suddenly shivered.
"What's wrong, Alliance Leader?"
"It's nothing, just your imagination."
