I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

Mei looked at Himeko basking in the sun ahead and replied, "Not bad, Himeko."

"Really? That's good~"

Himeko turned her head to look at the rising sun in front of her, her eyes filled with hope.

Mei looked at Himeko in the wheelchair and suddenly asked, "Himeko, what do you plan to do in the future?"

After all, Himeko's current physical condition prevents her from becoming a Valkyrie, and Mei doesn't know what Himeko's future plans are.

Himeko said helplessly, "I may never be able to be a Valkyrie again, nor can I go to the front lines to fight."

"However, Theresa still appointed me as the captain of the Hyperion to command the battle from the rear."

"Honestly, that shorty always tries to squeeze every last drop of value out of me!"

"Haha, that's good, Himeko-neechan," Mei said jokingly.

“Okay, Mei, you say it too.”

"But Mei, do you know how Kiana is doing now?"

Himeko asked Mei, "Although that troublesome girl can be really a headache sometimes, everyone's love for her hasn't diminished at all."

"Himeko, Kiana... I don't know about her now... But I want to go back to Changkong City to see her."

Mei said, recalling her past with Kiana, how she, Bronya, and Kiana isolated the entire school at Chiba Academy.

“Changkong City? I remember that place. It was there that I brought all three of you back,” Himeko said, recalling.

“That’s right, that’s where it was back then…” Mei hadn’t finished speaking when her communicator started beeping.

The person who arrived was Theresa. After the communication was established...

"Mei, Mei, are you free right now? If you are, come to the bridge."

"What's wrong, Dean?"

"Actually, Dr. Tesla would like to meet you."

When Mei heard Tesla, she thought, "Isn't that the lobster-headed doctor that the captains tease?"

"Okay, I'll be right away."

Mei finished speaking and said to Himeko through the communicator, "Himeko-nee, I'm going now."

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."

After Mei greeted Himeko, she went to the bridge and saw Theresa talking to a little red-haired girl.

When Theresa saw Mei arrive, she said, "Mei, you're here!"

"Let me introduce you. This is Dr. Tesla, a senior executive at Anti-Entropy."

Mei extended her hand, smiling, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lobster... Dr. Tesla."

Tesla also shook Mei's hand. Although he was a little puzzled as to why Mei seemed to suddenly pause, he still politely said, "Nice to meet you, Mei."

Mei said, "Yes, I heard from Dean Theresa that Dr. Tesla wants to see me."

Tess nodded and explained to Mei:

“That’s right. In the four months you’ve been gone, the Far East branch of Schicksal and our Anti-Entropy have formed an alliance.”

"Also, regarding the arrangements for your return, let me explain them beforehand. You have no objections, right?"

Tesla asked Mei.

"I have no problem with that, Dr. Tesla, please make the arrangements."

Tesla then explained the relevant arrangements and tasks to Mei, and after explaining everything, Tesla...

Tesla asked Mei somewhat embarrassedly:

"Ahem... Um... Mei, Theresa and Himeko said you have a magical black sword~"

Tesla's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Mei understood Tesla's meaning perfectly well; he simply wanted to examine her knife.

Then, Mei stretched out her right hand into the air, then clenched it, and a purple-black knife appeared out of thin air, radiating a chilling aura.

Tesla's eyes lit up when he saw the knife, and he excitedly asked, "Um... Mei, can I borrow it to take a look?"

"Of course~"

As Mei spoke, she handed the knife directly to Dr. Tesla.

Tesla took the Purple Lightning Blade, a chill filling her mind. She examined the blade closely and discovered that its material seemed to be something she had never seen before.

Most importantly, how did this knife appear in Mei's hands? Was it some kind of spatial technology?

Mei watched Tesla fiddling with the knife and said, "Dr. Tesla, feel free to take it and study it at your leisure."

"What, Mei, really?" Tesla asked expectantly.

Mei laughed and said, "Really, you can take it back and study it. It's okay if you break it~ Of course, I might be very happy if you manage to break it~"

Mei wasn't worried at all that her knife would break, because it was just too hard... too hard...

"Thank you so much! Don't worry, I'll definitely return it to you in a while!" Tesla said, then excitedly took the knife and headed towards his laboratory.

"Headmaster, I'd like to make a trip to Changkong City in a while," Mei stated directly, since Kiana would be there.

"Changkong City? Mei, why would you want to go there?" Theresa asked, puzzled.

Mei said to Theresa with a melancholy look on her face, "Headmistress, the world is so big, I want to go and see Changkong City~"

Theresa: ………………

Seeing Theresa's speechless expression, Mei quickly changed her words and said, "Ahem...ahem...actually, I have a feeling that Kiana will appear somewhere."

Theresa asked, puzzled, "Kiana will appear in Changkong City? Mei, are you sure?"

"Dean, I'm sure I'll go to Changkong City."

Theresa looked at Mei's determined eyes and knew she couldn't persuade her, so she could only say, "Then... when are you planning to go?"

"I'll complete the tasks assigned by Dr. Tesla first, and then depart in about three days," Mei replied.

.......................................

One day later, in Tesla's laboratory—

On the experimental table, a laser beam filled with destructive energy struck a purplish-black knife, causing intense sparks to erupt. Even the surrounding Shenzhou-made glass became somewhat liquid and was about to melt.

"Warning! Warning! The quantum laser cannon is overheating!"

The laboratory finally dimmed as the quantum laser cannon stopped.

After turning on the lights, Tesla rushed to Black Knife's side to take a look.

"Hiss~ What kind of material is this? It didn't even leave a mark?!" Tesla couldn't help but gasp.

During this period, Tesla tried every method imaginable—plasma cutting, acoustic resonance, and finally, thermal melting—but none of them left a single mark on the blade…

Tesla examined every inch of the blade meticulously, trying to find some clues. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't analyze the material of the knife.

Previously, Tesla believed the blade appeared to be made of a very hard metal and tested it with various chemical reagents, but to no avail.

The knife was made of a very unusual material; it didn't seem to belong to any known metal or alloy. Tesla began to suspect that the knife might be made of an unknown substance, or perhaps a substance that had disappeared.

Tesla was very confused and curious about what the knife was made of.

To determine its material, Tesla, with Mei's permission, directly and destructively dismantled the blade.

However, even the high heat generated by the final quantum laser cannon was completely useless...

Just as Tesla was trying to find new ways to research, a communication suddenly came through.

"What? The Herrscher of the Void has been detected? And the location is Changkong City?!"
