Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"Well…"

Misha lowered her head and was at a loss for words. She didn't know how to explain it. Her indigo eyes were darting around, as if looking for a crack in the ground. She completely lost the momentum she had when she just grabbed the photo.

"Ship, Captain..."

"Xiao Misha, what's in your arms is..."

"Um...no, this is, that, I..."

The girl's face had already turned red because of shame, and even her ears, which were slightly covered by her silver hair, turned red. She was thinking hard, trying to make up a reasonable explanation, but she didn't think she could survive after being discovered. Successfully deceived the captain.

"This, this is, war, strategic reserve..."

"Strategic reserve?"

"No, no, that's not right, this is, that..."

"From the part that was released, it seems to be a photo related to me?"

"Well……"

The girl fell silent for a moment, but the bag in her arms was held tighter by her slender arms. While the students passing by said hello to the captain, Misha simply lowered her head and ran away. Before the captain could say anything, she had already fled far away.

"..."

Seeing the girl running further and further away with her head lowered, the captain just sighed helplessly.

He didn't intend to stop Misha, he just wanted to ask about the photos. If he really didn't want Misha to leave just now, he might have caught Misha as soon as he took the first step.

However, one person said that the captain did not expect Misha to run so fast. If he represented Hyperion in the school sports meeting, he might even win a prize.

He thought so, then smiled and nodded: "Let's also sign up for Misha in the next school sports meeting."

Seeing that it was getting late, the captain continued towards the training ground. As for the photo, it was not too late to ask Misha later.

After all, there is another thing that is more important than this at the moment, and that is Jizi's problem, how to make up for the disadvantages and flaws that occur when using a heavy sword in combat.

Regarding this matter, the captain also thought about it last night. In fact, someone had asked him the same question in the past, but... everything was so regrettable.

Questions that can no longer be answered, skills that can no longer be granted, and...friends that can never be seen again.

"Ragnar..."

The young man called his old friend's name, his tone was so gentle, yet so heavy, full of sorrow.

It was obviously just a short separation, but when I came back, there was only bad news...

"How would Himeko react if I told her the name of this school?"

The captain thought so, he adjusted his mind, and finally opened the door of the training ground. Mei and Himeko had been waiting for a long time.

The captain, as agreed yesterday, taught Himeko a certain sword skill that she had never had the chance to understand in the past, and also answered some of Mei's questions about the "Beichen Two Sword Style".

When today's training was over, the captain unexpectedly declined Mei's suggestion that he go to the Valkyrie dormitory to have dinner with everyone.

He returned to Hyperion, sat alone in his room, and used a private channel to connect to the communication of the "Destiny Saint 1504 Research Institute" that he had not had the opportunity to visit again for a long time.

"Hi~Who is this?"

Before the image appeared on the projection screen in front of the boy, a bright and cheerful female voice came from it. The captain looked calm. He obviously knew who the owner of the voice was. However, the tone was indeed too cheerful. It would be difficult for anyone else to distinguish the owner of the voice from the current director of the "Saint 1504 Research Institute". Keep in touch with each other for a long time.

"If it's about a meeting, I've already finished get off work today. I'll meet again tomorrow... Hey, what's this ID?"

The owner of the voice seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then his face appeared on the screen in front of the captain.

This person has a bright and young face and a rose-like complexion. He is wearing a white coat. His long dark red hair extends to his waist. There are two silver hairpins at the back of his hair. His bright purple eyes reveal rationality and gentleness. , the monocle worn on the right eye adds a bit of color to this unique temperament.

There is no doubt that from the outside, the other party is a beautiful woman in her prime, but her unique temperament also signals to the outside world that she is a learned person with genuine talent and knowledge.

In fact, this woman is the current director of the "Holy 1504 Research Institute" at the headquarters of "Destiny": "Chang Guang".

Of course, to be precise, he is the "current" director. According to rumors circulating within "Destiny", the director of "Holy 1504 Research Institute" is a legendary figure who has lived for nearly a thousand years. He is the person from the Far East. The legendary swordsmith.

But the reason why the rumors are just rumors is because of the presence of the woman on the screen in front of the captain. Although the work content is very confidential, "Destiny" staff who have met "Chang Guang" in person will insist that "Chang Guang, the swordsmith who has lived for nearly a thousand years, is just a rumor."

Anyone who knows the internal cause understands that "Changguang" is just a pronoun for the directors of the "Saint 1504 Research Institute" from generation to generation since the institute was established in 1504. It is a title with a special reputation.

Each generation of directors known as "Changguang" has its own name, its own experience, its own life, and the "current" director of the institute is no exception.

But what is the reality? Letting the name "Chang Guang" be passed down from generation to generation of directors may be regarded as "living for a thousand years", but there are only a few people who really understand the truth of this matter, including the captain.

"Long time no see, Elizabeth." The captain greeted in a gentle voice.

Elizabeth McSmith, this is the real name of the "Long Light" lady in front of the captain.

"Oh, this is such a rare visitor~" Chang Guang joked. At the same time, she deliberately cleared her throat and said the same greeting:

"Ahem, long time no see, Mr. Zhi, oh no, course teacher."

"Were you infected by Bianca?"

"Hey, she and Rita call each other more happily than I do. Every time I talk to them about you, there's a teacher on your left and a teacher on your right, and I'm Mr. Zhi's teacher in Nazhi."

"Haha, how are they doing recently?"

"Very good. Rita also told me that when she went to inspect the Far East Branch, she worked as a maid for you for a few days after a long absence. She also said that she couldn't bear to leave the course teacher~ Is this the case?"

"You believe it?"

"Uh-huh, I can't say~"

Elizabeth smiled evilly, as if she was confident about this, and it seemed that she had eaten a lot of strange things from Rita.

"So, Commander of the Hyperion of the Far Eastern Branch, what kind of wind brought you here today?"

"Actually, I have something to ask of you."

"Oh ho? Tell me."

Elizabeth immediately became interested when she heard that this young man with an extremely mysterious background and special experience, who was obviously an ordinary person but was also the teacher of two S-class Valkyrie "destined", said that he had something to ask of her.

She sat on the chair and reached out to bring the hot coffee in front of her. Everything was ready, just waiting for the other party to speak in detail.
