Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

After the first round of the outdoor "simulated battle" exam, the next natural step was the "combat against Honkaimon" exam in a large training ground.

The "Fighting Honkaimon" link mainly tests the Valkyrie's comprehensive combat capabilities when dealing with Honkaimon. Through the synchronized immersion device worn by the candidate on the head, the trial program responsible for the virtual battle will select suitable enemies from the database. As opponents, they range from ordinary dead warriors to the highest-ranking "Emperor-level" Honkaimon.

Of course, unless there are special needs, under normal circumstances the academy will not allow virtual enemies with "imperial level" strength to appear. The reason is, of course, because the difficulty is too high.

"The above are the precautions for the second round of exams. Candidates please pay more attention."

Jizi's voice echoed through the loudspeaker in the spacious and bright training ground. At this moment, she was standing in the main control room above the side edge of the training ground, looking through the glass at the candidates below entering one by one.

After reciting the precautions she was already familiar with into the microphone, she breathed a sigh of relief, plopped down on the chair behind her, and calmly rocked around.

"Phew~ This is much easier."

Ever since Jizi discovered that being an examination room manager was much easier than being an examiner, she had never been an on-site examiner. Just read the report, pull the switch, sit with Theresa and wait for the exam to end. Who wouldn't be happy with this kind of good job?

She closed her eyes and nodded proudly, as if she was congratulating herself for being "smart", and even took out a can of beer to drink from without knowing where. But before she could open it, the can in her hand disappeared from under her nose.

She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was Theresa's extremely kind face.

"Ji~zi~"

"Theresa!?"

Ji Zi kicked off her legs in shock, and the chair carrying her slid backwards under the wheels. After sliding for a few meters, it immediately stopped.

"You started drinking in broad daylight, as expected of you."

A calm voice came from above her head. Ji Zi raised her face, just in time to see the boy's face turned upside down. The captain was right behind her. He smiled gently and slowly pushed the chair forward.

"Uh...ahem, I haven't had a drink yet."

"You have to tell the principal about this."

"???Wait, Captain!"

Theresa stood there, already gearing up and eager to try. The captain deliberately walked very slowly, and Jizi looked at Theresa who was getting closer and struggled to remember, but her shoulders were pressed by the captain, and she couldn't use her strength, "What are you doing???"

"I heard it's a massage."

"?"

"It's just a massage~" Theresa added with a smile.

"Not only are you lazy during working hours, but you are also planning to drink in the control room. I must be very tired, Major Himeko, right?"

"No! Theresa, I didn't!"

"It's okay, it's okay. Let me give you a good massage to relieve your fatigue."

"Then I have to die without my body intact!?"

Jizi felt a big crisis in her life. She struggled more violently, and the chair under her body was shaken and creaked. Normally, the shoulder would hurt for a long time even if Theresa casually tapped her twice. If she got a massage like this, I would probably die on the spot in the end, right?

"Help, help..."

The voice was so small that she couldn't hear it clearly, but the whining that followed from the control room successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the venue.

"Major Himeko... seems to be very pitiful?"

"Uh... I should be fine."

"Bronya seems to have guessed the reason."

The three of them sat side by side on the bench, looking at the control room above. They were used to this situation, especially Kiana and Bronya, who quickly looked away as if nothing happened. When he came back, only Mei Yi still had a worried look on her face.

"Candidates No. 21 and 22, please prepare for the exam and go to the A3 training area to take the exam within 1 minutes!"

After hearing the radio summons, Mei and Bronya stood up. They happened to be numbers 21 and 22, while Kiana was number 42.

"Come on, Mei, and Bronya!"

"Well, let's go, Bronya."

Bronya nodded, said goodbye to Kiana, and then the two of them went to the designated place to prepare for the exam.

On the other side, in the main control room, under Theresa's kind and gentle "massage", the red-haired woman had been "relaxed" and unconscious. She lay motionless on the chair, as if she had suffered some inhuman torture...

"Major Jizi, are you okay?"

Although the captain was also an accomplice, he still asked with some sympathy. Jizi turned her head with difficulty and seemed to be mumbling something. When the captain leaned closer to listen, he heard what she said: "Already, dying, what else?" Why don't you give me a good time..."

"..."

The captain glanced at Theresa who was standing aside. She narrowed her eyes and stuck out her tongue, as if nothing had happened. But as for the captain who witnessed the whole process, he felt that this kind of experience, he hoped it would not happen to him one day...

"Speaking of which, where is the maid? Doesn't she like to cling to you?"

Theresa inadvertently gave the captain a wink, and the captain naturally understood that he had actually sensed the aura of someone nearby earlier than Theresa.

"Rita...yesterday she told me very confidently that no matter when and where, as long as I call her name, she will appear..."

"Oh? It's interesting. You want to try it?"

"emmm..."

The captain nodded, then took a deep breath and shouted in a low voice: "Ahem, Li-ta-!"

Crunch!

As soon as he finished speaking, the door behind him was pushed open by someone.

"Are you looking for me, Captain?"

The maid whose name was called appeared in front of the two of them, with a confident smile on her delicate face.

It seems that what I said yesterday was more than just casual remarks in a sense.
