I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

Chapter 18 Thunder Dragon Horse Finally Imprisoned

Mei sat blankly on the bed with empty eyes.

That excruciating pain, like being on the verge of death, is deeply etched in my mind.

It was described as a dream, yet the impression was incredibly profound, as if my soul had been extracted, then brutally beaten, and finally returned to my body with my memories.

Mei carefully touched her chest again and found that she was indeed not injured.

Mei was puzzled, but couldn't figure it out.

But what should I do if that scenario actually happens in the future?

Mei felt panicked and conflicted.

"Sigh, forget it, there's no use thinking too much. I'll just see Kiana when I get there." Mei had given up on thinking about it.

Finally, adjust your mindset and welcome a new day.

In the early morning, I prepare my own breakfast and lunchbox before heading to school.

I attended classes at school as usual, went to the rooftop for lunch, and then went to the Kendo Club in the afternoon to organize the members.

After everyone else had left, Mei remained waiting at the neighborhood office.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the familiar yellow figure reappeared, Mei picked up the wooden sword and walked over.

"Hehehe, little girl, why are you here again today? Aren't you afraid of being defeated again?" Houmu Sword Saint said with a teasing smile.

Holding the wood in her hand, Mei took a deep breath and said, "Houmu Sword Saint, you can't defeat me. You can only make me stronger, so please teach me!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

Both sides kept swinging the wood, the sounds of banging echoing back and forth.

Finally, the duel ended with Mei's sword being knocked away.

Looking at the Houmu Sword Saint, Mei felt a mix of emotions.

"Even with the hood and costume, they're already this strong. I need to train more," Mei thought to herself.

Mei bowed deeply to the Homu Sword Saint and said, "Homu Sword Saint, let's fight another day."

"Hehe, looking forward to your challenge, little girl!"

Houmu stared at Mei until he left and disappeared.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In the days that followed, Mei spent her days at school alone, except for the lessons in class. She would always eat lunch on the rooftop and relax in the breeze.

When school is over in the afternoon, I will go to the Kendo Club to spar with the Houmu Sword Saint.

The Sword Saint of Houmu said that he might not be at the dojo every day, so he made an appointment with Mei.

Unlike the original story, Mei knows his true identity.

The two made a promise, and neither of them ever broke their word.

The repeated clashes of knives and the casual conversations allowed the father and daughter to express their love for each other as friends.

At night, Mei was also very puzzled as to why she would sometimes faint on the bed as soon as she took off her clothes, and then dream of those familiar faces.

Hatred, jealousy, and ferocity surfaced on their faces.

Sometimes they would change their fighting style, but Kiana was always the most aggressive. After that, Mei would personally end her own life, squeezing her heart and severing her throat.

Fortunately, it was only pain in the soul; the body remained unharmed in real life. Once you think about that, it doesn't matter anymore—it's just a little pain.

However, what frustrates Mei the most every time she wakes up is that in the dream, out of guilt towards them, she didn't fight back and was beaten to death. After waking up, she remembers the pain in the dream very clearly.

Next time, when I dream about it, I want to take revenge on them directly, but I have no memory of it at all, as if it were the first time I was beaten like this.

And then this cycle continues indefinitely.

Mei had questioned herself countless times, wondering who she was. Everyone else who transmigrated had various systems, so why didn't she?

Mei thought about it for a long time, but eventually came to terms with it.

"Forget it, forget it, there's no point in thinking about these useless things. Just live life as it comes."

"However, I still have the ability to do something for my father, Raiden Ryoma!"

I don't know how much time has passed —

That afternoon, as agreed, Mei arrived at the kendo club to take on the challenge.

As the two swung their wooden swords, Houmu Sword Saint's sword was knocked away.

"Heh heh, I lost this round," said the Houmu Sword Saint.

Mei reciprocated with a gift, saying "I appreciate your kind consideration."

Then the two sat in the dojo and chatted.

"I really don't understand why my father is so busy with work and doesn't have time to come back and see me. Does he think I'm too much trouble?" Mei suddenly said, then looked at the Houmu Sword Saint.

"Ahem...ahem, little girl, I think your father must have his reasons. Just like me, I'm away from home, but I love my daughter very much and can't wait to see her," the Sword Saint Houmu said awkwardly.

"Haha, I think your daughter definitely understands you. Please don't ask why, it's just a gut feeling~" Mei laughed.

"Okay, I have to go now. Dad called me today and said he's coming home to have dinner with me."

Mei stood up, dusted off her bottom, and prepared to leave.

"Really? That's great! Then you should go back and be with him," said the Sword Saint Houmu.

Mei smiled and looked at the Houmu Sword Saint, saying, "Don't rush, let him wait~ Houmu Sword Saint, you're more important~"

Raiden Ryoma: "…………"

Mei took a greeting card out of her pocket.

The greeting card is beautifully designed, well-packaged, and the perfect size for easy carrying.

Mei handed the greeting card to Houmu Sword Saint, smiling as she said, "Here, this is for you."

"What's this?" The Sword Saint took it, looked at it, and then thought about taking it apart.

Seeing what he was doing, Mei hurriedly stopped him: "Hey~ hey~ don't take it apart."

Seeing him stop moving, Mei looked at the Houmu Sword Saint seriously and said, "Houmu Sword Saint, I hope you will grant me a request."

The Sword Saint Houmu was a little puzzled, but still said, "Please speak."

Mei took a deep breath and said seriously, "Promise me that you will carry this greeting card with you at all times. If one day in the future you are sure that you will not come here again, then open this greeting card. But before that, please do not open it."

Looking at Mei's serious expression, the Sword Saint of Houmu laughed and said, "Hehe, I agree."

"Alright, that's all for today. I'm going home now. See you later."

Mei's figure receded further and further into the distance until it finally disappeared from sight.

Houmu Sword Saint then removed his headgear, revealing his appearance as the Thunder Dragon Horse.

"I didn't expect Mei's swordsmanship to improve so quickly in just a few weeks. As expected of my daughter, but, sob, this Homu Sword Saint's identity is actually more important than me, her father~"

"Wait, Mei's waiting for me to come home for dinner." Raiden Ryoma suddenly remembered.

I sped to the parking lot of Qianyu Academy, floored the gas pedal, and drove home.

The two cherished this rare opportunity to have dinner together.

The night passed, and life returned to normal. Raiden Ryoma went to the company early. Mei went to school as usual.

Days passed, until today, November 16, 2013, when this mundane life came to a complete end.

After a day of studying, Mei returned to her large villa and had dinner.

I practiced my strength at my home dojo for a while, then did some physical training. After taking a shower, there was still some time before bedtime.

Mei was bored, so she sat on the sofa in the living room and played on her phone and watched videos for a while.

Even though she's Mei now, she still enjoys secretly watching videos of beautiful women.

Swipe up for beautiful women, swipe down for funny videos.

Mei laughed heartily, continuing to scroll through videos on her phone.

"If you scratch any more, it'll be terrible!" Mei's eyes widened, and she sprayed the juice from her mouth directly onto the guest table.

"On November 16, 2013, at 6:34 PM, Ryoma Raiden, president of the world-renowned multinational electronics manufacturer Massive Electric, was arrested by the police on suspicion of economic fraud. It is reported that Raiden defrauded approximately US$34 billion under the guise of financing the development of ultra-high frequency electromagnetic field confinement, but the project was recently abruptly terminated. The incident is currently under further investigation."

Mei looked at the news on her phone, somewhat incredulous.

"Holy crap, Dad finally got arrested?"

"Hiss~, the good days are over."

Mei wasn't worried about her father Ryoma getting hurt, since she knew the plot.

Mei put away her phone, walked to her room, summoned her black sword, and put everything she needed into the black sword's space to take with her.

After Mei finished getting ready, she lay down on the bed to go to sleep.

To be honest, Mei was quite flustered after Raiden Ryoma was captured, not knowing what to do.

It's like a child who hasn't reached adulthood, suddenly losing their parents and feeling lost about the future.

Mei kept telling herself: "Phew, calm down, it's cold..."

"Snapped"

Mei fell asleep again after only taking off half of her clothes.

The red stigmata on its back still emitted a faint red glow.

In the boundless, endless darkness —

Looking at her surroundings, Mei was surprised: "Huh, why has the environment changed?"

"No, I remember, I was still conscious, oh wait, that's not right either."

Mei pondered for a moment.

"I should say—I was aware that I was dreaming!"

After clarifying this thought, the boundless darkness began to change and gradually turned white.

"Hehe, Hu Ritian."

Mei suddenly turned around and saw Mei wearing a black JK uniform.

Mei frowned and asked, "Are you Mei?"

Mei seemed to have heard a joke and burst into laughter.

Mei just watched her laugh until she finished laughing.

A hint of ferocity appeared on Mei's beautiful face as she retorted, "What? If I'm not Mei, are you still Mei?"

Mei's heart sank, her clenched fist suddenly loosened, and she said with shame, "Yes, I'm definitely not Mei..."

[Mei] spread her hands, happily saying, "Since you're not Mei, then give my body back~"

"No, it's not the right time yet," Mei said weakly.

Upon hearing this reply, Mei seemed to laugh in anger, and said disdainfully, "Then go die!"

"What!?"

In an instant, Mei instinctively raised her hands, but the other Mei was as fast as lightning, easily grabbing Mei's neck and lifting her up.

"Click"

Mei could feel the bones inside her neck shatter into pieces in an instant, and then her consciousness gradually faded away.

In real life, Mei woke up suddenly from her bed again, quickly touching her neck with both hands.

Mei calmed down and said helplessly, "I'm speechless."

Mei didn't know if that was the original Mei's consciousness. If it was, then she would have to return it to its rightful owner and give the body back to the real Mei.

This time, I met the real [Mei].

Thinking about my experiences growing up over the past 16 years, I suddenly felt a sense of unreality, and those beautiful memories became as hazy as mist.

But Mei still has some things she wants to do, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.

As usual, I prepared breakfast and lunchbox and went to school that morning.

"Holy crap!"

Mei, who was still half asleep, perked up as soon as she saw her desk.

On her own desk, patches of graffiti stood out, filled with insulting words like "criminal," "disgusting," and "violent woman," written in various colors like scribbles.

There was even trash in my own drawer.

"Calm down, calm down," Mei forced herself to suppress her anger.

Then he quietly cleaned his own desk and chair.

"Look, isn't this the young lady from ME Company?"

Mei turned around and saw that it was Aya.

Mei frowned slightly and said, "What are you trying to say?"

Looking at Mei's appearance, Caiyi chuckled inwardly and said sarcastically, "Heh, I wonder whose father is a conman, and his daughter actually has to come here to study. Isn't that ridiculous, Mei-kun?"

Mei: "Childish, elementary school behavior."

Mei then ignored it and continued cleaning the tables and chairs.

A malicious glint flashed across Caiyi's face, and she could only curse Mei in her heart: "Do you still think you're the young lady of ME Company! You're just the daughter of a fraudster now, what right do you have to ignore me?"

However, I will settle accounts with you.

When it was time for class, even the teacher's gaze towards Mei was unfriendly.

"Damn it, ME Company really tricked me this time."

Yes, this teacher was also one of the victims.

As expected, Mei was targeted at every turn in this class.

Mei suppressed her anger and patiently finished the class. The last few classes were a little better, continuing until after noon.

After class, Mei took her lunchbox and went to the school rooftop.

"She went to the rooftop."

"Don't panic, sisters, follow them!"

The group then followed Mei to the rooftop.

Mei walked up the stairs, opened the rooftop door, and a gentle breeze swept in, calming her restless heart.

Feeling the freedom of the sky and the gentle breeze blowing in the wind brings joy.
