I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

The Herrscher of Thunder remained silent in response to Mei's explanation, unsure how to reply.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mei nestled her head closer to her and continued, "So what if you're a Herrscher consciousness? Right now, you're like family to me, so don't worry, I'll protect you when I get stronger."

That's right, Mei figured it out. This Herrscher of Thunder hadn't harmed her. Besides, if it weren't for her, she and Kiana would have died in Changkong City long ago. And since she looks exactly like her, it's okay for her to take advantage of her, right?

Furthermore, in the original work, the Herrscher of Thunder never harmed Mei or Kiana, so Mei simply regarded her as another version of herself and completely trusted her.

"Tsk, don't flatter yourself." The Herrscher of Thunder said, pushing Mei's face aside with her hand in disgust.

"Sister Lei, no, let me lie here a little longer..." Mei said, hugging the Herrscher of Thunder's waist. Mei used to stare at herself in the mirror, and now that the Herrscher of Thunder looked just like her, she felt excited.

The Herrscher of Thunder, seeing Mei trying to lay a hand on her, could no longer contain herself. Although she knew that Mei was a loser in her memories, she still made her want to beat her up!

The Herrscher of Thunder grabbed Mei by the neck and dragged her to the door.

"Uh... Lei... I was just... joking... just being cheeky!" Mei was being choked and couldn't speak.

The Herrscher of Thunder opened the door to the consciousness space, kicked Mei out, and returned to her body.

Then the Herrscher of Thunder clapped her hands and slammed the door shut.

"Tsk, trouble."

The Herrscher of Thunder then returned to the sofa and ate potato chips, but her state of mind was no longer as calm as before.

"Although he's a fool, he's... not bad at all~" A smile appeared on the Herrscher of Thunder's lips.

Mei, lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes, rubbed her neck, and complained helplessly, "Although my body won't be harmed, it still hurts a lot."

And so the Theresa affair came to an end. Several months later, the first real-world test finally arrived.

The first real-world test was in August 2014.

At 6:00 AM, Mei got out of bed, tidied up her room, and then prepared breakfast for everyone. Mei is now 17 years old, and in a few months, the time she has been as Mei will be the same as the time in her previous life.

"I'm really looking forward to today's actual combat~" Mei was filled with excitement, and the black sword in her hand was itching to fight. After studying for so long, she could finally cut down Honkai Beasts.

On the playground of St. Freya Academy—

Mei's class will be led by Himeko-sensei to the actual combat.

After boarding the transport plane, everyone left St. Freya Academy.

On the transport plane—

"Mei, I've been here so long, I can finally show you my skills!" Kiana seemed to have inexhaustible energy.

"Kiana, you'd better be careful. Don't be too careless and get hurt." Mei was quite helpless with Kiana, afraid that she would keep rushing into the Honkai Beasts.

“Mei is right. If Kiana gets hurt, don’t let Bronya have to carry you,” Bronya said.

"Hmph, Bronya, you'd better mind your own business. I'm worried you'll hold me back!" Kiana said disdainfully.

Mei Yi: “…………”

At this moment, Himeko arrived at the transport bay and said to everyone:

"Before your first combat mission, I want to remind you again..."

"In addition to being wary of the enemy in front of you, you must also keep an eye on your comrades' condition at all times."

"Because they are not only your comrades who provide support, but also the possibility of them becoming monsters."

"Every Valkyrie faces this risk in battle, and we utilize Honkai energy to gain powerful combat capabilities."

"But they could also suffer a backlash at any time, lose their minds, and become monsters that want to destroy everything."

"As long as you are fighting as Valkyries, you must be prepared to face the worst possible outcome."

"If one day your comrade goes out of control due to Honkai energy... you must end her life without hesitation!"

At this moment, Kiana, the conspicuous one, suddenly asked, "...If it's Himeko-sensei who's out of control, should we take action too?"

Himeko smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Even if it's me, you absolutely cannot hesitate."

"Trying to protect the life of the out-of-control Valkyrie will only lead to more sacrifices. If you don't understand this, I will not let you set foot on the battlefield."

Kiana replied weakly, "I... understand."

"If one day... I mean, if I lose control, then Aunt Himeko, you must..."

"I won't let that happen," Himeko interrupted Kiana.

"Huh?" Kiana asked, puzzled.

Himeko continued with a smile, "As your instructor and captain, I will do my best to protect each and every one of you and keep you from danger."

"What... what a cunning statement!" Kiana exclaimed.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Himeko, however, said with a serious expression, "This is my principle. Alright, prepare for landing; the mission is about to begin."

Everyone donned the basic armor set provided by the Valkyrie of Destiny, primarily in silver-white, and then chose weapons that suited them best.

The transport ship slowly descended from the sky and landed in an abandoned village.

The hatch opened, and the Valkyries lined up in formation.

Himeko looked at the team below and said, "This village in front of us has been attacked by Honkai Beasts. This battle is to clear the Honkai Beasts in this area. The data devices on your wrists will record the Honkai Beasts you kill."

"Remember, the Honkai Beast ranks are divided into Assault Class, Knight Class, Ballista Class, Chariot Class, Temple Class, Emperor Class, and Judgment Class."

"The academy has already scouted this area. The highest level is tank-level, which is a level you can handle. Do not leave a 3km radius from here."

"If you encounter an enemy of tank class or higher, immediately activate your communication devices and do not act alone!"

"Do you all understand?!" Himeko shouted.

"Understood!!!" everyone shouted in unison.

The team then disbanded, and Mei, Bronya, and Kiana formed their own team.

"Mei, they've all left. What should we do now?" Kiana asked.

Mei looked at the village in front of her and suggested, "Why don't we go into the village and take a look?"

“Bronya agrees with Mei’s opinion,” Bronya said.

The three entered the village, where a dilapidated scene came into view. Suddenly, they discovered a small, rush-class Honkai Beast wandering around in front of them.

Although it is the worst Honkai Beast, it is still a one-sided massacre when dealing with an ordinary adult.

"Ha, just one Honkai Beast? It's not enough for me to fight~" Kiana said disdainfully, then went to attack the Honkai Beast.

The charging Honkai Beast spotted the three people and quickly flew over to kill them.

"Your breasts are perky enough!" Kiana performed a front flip followed by a split kick that landed squarely on the Honkai Beast's forehead.

After the dust settled, the Honkai Beast's forehead split open, and it was stuck in the crater, unable to get up, and remained silent.

"Too weak~ You agree, right, Mei!" Kiana said proudly.

"Okay, okay," Mei gave a thumbs up.

Bronya suddenly summoned Heavy Bunny, and the cannon was pointed in another direction.

"Fire!"

After an explosion, the corpse of a tank-class Honkai Beast lay before them.

Bronya said softly, "Threat eliminated."

Mei stepped forward and looked at the corpse on the ground. The ferocious appearance of the Honkai Beast was right in front of her.

The three then continued their journey. Mei took out Kiana's weapon from the Black Blade's storage space—a giant titanium chainsaw. Because it was inconvenient to carry, Kiana had Mei put it into the Black Blade's storage space.

After entering the village, there weren't many Honkai Beasts along the way. They killed any Honkai Beasts they encountered, making the three of them feel like Japanese soldiers invading a village.

Kiana's giant chainsaw ripped open one Honkai Beast after another, creating a horrifying scene.

Bronya also used the firepower of the Heavy Bunny, firing a barrage of shells and turning the Honkai Beasts into sieves, with limbs and broken pieces scattered all over the field.

Kiana and Bronya stole most of the kills, and Mei even had to chase after Honkai Beasts herself to kill them, otherwise she wouldn't have enough points.

Mei wields a black sword, targeting weaknesses with a single, fatal blow. Wherever the blade passes, it leaves behind the heads of Honkai Beasts, and some are even dismembered before they die.

The battle only ended when Himeko sent a call to gather everyone together.

Aboard the transport ship, the group began their return to St. Freya Academy.

This practical training allowed Mei to witness the ferocious faces of the Honkai Beasts. Unlike the models in the game, the Honkai Beasts were real, bloodthirsty monsters.

Kiana had already fallen asleep, leaning against Mei's lap.

Mei gently stroked Kiana's hair, gazing at the vast sky outside the window; everything was so beautiful.

Mei gazed at Kiana in her arms and murmured, "Don't worry, I will do everything in my power to pave the way for your dreams in the future."
