I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

"I must say, the St. Freya Academy library is indeed very well built," Mei said admiringly.

There are many people studying in the library right now, after all, the Valkyrie Studies exam is just around the corner.

"Let me look for books about the history of collapse."

After Mei found the book she wanted to read, she found a secluded corner to read it. Before she could even sit down, she heard a complaining voice and the sound effects of a game.

"What's that noise?" Mei asked as she approached, and found two people around a corner.

"Bronya, take this! Homu Impact!"

"Idiot Kiana, you think you can defeat Broodmother with moves like that? Broodmother is the strongest!"

"Ah! I'm dead again!!!"

Meiyi:………………

"Bronya, come again! Ouch~ Who's pulling my ear?!" Kiana whirled around. Who dares to pull my ear?

"Huh? Mei! You... how did you get here?" Kiana's aura suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon.

"Kiana, you're having a lot of fun? You even came all the way to the library, you must have gone to so much trouble~" Mei said kindly.

"No, no, no, Mei, let me explain!" Kiana pleaded, clutching her ear.

"No need to explain, let's go, Kiana, I'll take you to the training ground." Mei pulled Kiana and headed towards the training ground.

"Bronya, I'm going with Kiana now."

"Okay, goodbye Mei-neechan."

Bronya then went to browse the library as well.

The two had barely arrived at the training ground when one of them was already sweating it out.

Fu Hua unleashed a powerful punch, shattering the titanium alloy palladium into dust.

"Huh? I didn't expect Kiana to come to the training ground too." Fu Hua said with a hint of surprise.

"Squad leader, what are you doing here? Do you sleep on the training ground every day?" Kiana asked.

"Haha, not really. Mei, are you here to practice too? I heard you got injured during the mission in Canghai City."

"It seems to be just a misunderstanding now. I'm glad you're alright."

"No, that's not a misconception. I was indeed injured, and I almost died." Mei shook her head and told the truth.

"Huh? This... then... are you alright now?" Fu Hua asked with concern, taking Mei's hand to check on her.

"Cough... I'm fine now. After some time to rest, I'm all better," Mei said awkwardly, looking at Fu Hua's concerned eyes. She regretted being so cheeky...

"Ahem, class monitor! What do you want to do to Mei?" Kiana said with a jealous look, asserting her dominance.

"Hmm, my apologies. I'm relieved to hear what Mei said. I'll continue my training then. Kiana, you can come too," Fu Hua invited Kiana, since she still needed to tutor her.

“Go ahead, Kiana, I’ll go with you,” Mei said. After all, she needed to train too; she’d been the third-best for far too long…

According to the plot, Mei understands that this is the last exam.

After the practical training ended, Fu Hua took Kiana to have a private tutoring session.

Mei went back to prepare dinner, and the day quickly came to an end.

"Phew~ Tomorrow is the Valkyrie exam, and soon my wonderful academy life will be over..." Mei said with a melancholy look, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, the day of the Valkyrie exam—

"Hey~ The exam is about to begin. This practical exam will use a single round-robin competition system, and the Valkyries will be divided into pairs."

"Victory or defeat is not the only criterion for judgment. The examiners will evaluate whether the Valkyrie is qualified based on her performance in battle."

"Examiners and students, please be prepared."

Theresa's voice echoed on the radio, reaching every corner of the square.

"Huh? Kiana, why do you look so pale? Did you secretly stay up all night playing games last night?"

Mei looked at Kiana's face with some concern. She tried to persuade Kiana to take less medicine at night, saying it was bad for her health, but Kiana wouldn't listen.

"Hmm, I've been having all sorts of strange dreams these past two days," Kiana said listlessly.

Mei was puzzled. "A dream? What kind of dream? No! Ouch!!! That part of the plot!"

Mei looked at Kiana with a conflicted expression.

"But when I woke up, everything in the dream was blurry, I couldn't remember it... I only remember Mei was going to abandon me..." Kiana said, a little scared, worried that the dream might come true...

Mei raised her hand and flicked Kiana on the forehead.

"Hey, Mei, what are you doing?" Kiana rubbed her forehead and looked at Mei.

"Kiana, that was just a dream, and I will never abandon you, never. That's my promise. In the future, no matter how many people tell you that you are all alone."

"You just need to know that I will always be by your side. I will always be there for you and I will never abandon you!"

Kiana, do you know?

Mei looked into Kiana's eyes and said earnestly.

"Mei... um, I understand," Kiana cheered up again.

"Valkyrie Raiden Mei and Valkyrie Kiana are preparing for their exam," the announcement came over the loudspeaker.

"Hehe, Mei, it's our turn to compete! Will you go easy on her?" Kiana asked expectantly.

"Yes! Of course I will! How could I bear to hit you, my dear Kiana? Alright, go change into your battle suit." Mei said with a smile, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"Okay, I'm going then!" Kiana ran towards another entrance to enter.

On the stage—

Kiana looked at Mei across from her and couldn't help but think to herself, "Phew~ Seriously, putting us in the same group, you should at least go easy on Mei."

The exam has begun!

"Mei, you... huh?" Kiana hadn't finished speaking when she saw Mei approaching quickly, and then Mei kicked her with a whip kick, sending her flying and rolling several times on the ground.

"Ahem... wait a minute," Kiana said, quickly regaining her composure.

【Heavenly Overlord Fist】! Mei throws a punch at Kiana.

"Pfft!" Kiana was knocked to the ground again by this punch, rolling several times, with drool still lingering at the corner of her mouth...

"Kiana, hang in there! You won't be defeated like this!" Mei shouted, her legs still moving as she charged towards Kiana.

Kiana gritted her teeth, quickly stood up, and swiftly blocked Mei's fist, then questioned, "Mei, are you sure you held back?"

"That's right, I did hold back, Kiana, you're standing up now, aren't you?" Mei said. If she hadn't held back, she would have unleashed another barrage of attacks while Kiana was down.

"No, Mei's attacks are too fierce, I can't withstand them, I have to create distance!" Kiana quickly retreated.

Mei saw through her plan. After a feint, she successfully clamped Kiana's neck with her legs, then used her waist and hands to slam Kiana to the ground.

After Mei and Yana got up, they launched another attack!

"Mei, I'm getting serious!" Kiana got into a fighting stance and launched an attack on Mei.

The exam ended shortly afterward...

"Kiana performed well; she's improved a lot compared to before!"

"Waaah... Mei, if you don't cook me something delicious tonight, I won't forgive you..." Kiana stumbled out of the exam room, looking resentful.

"I'm sorry, Kiana, I got a little carried away just now. I'll definitely make it for you when we get back."

Mei went over and helped her sit down to rest, since she had an exam later.

Mei's current fighting strength is even higher than in the original storyline, after all, she has undergone so much training and has been learning various fighting techniques and swordsmanship since she was a child.

The next exam is here. After a few hours of rest, Kiana has recovered. Although Mei hit her hard, it only hurt for a moment.

After two more matches, Theresa arrived at halftime, followed by another person.

"During the halftime break, let me introduce you to the inspector from headquarters, Ms. Rita Losweather."

"She will also be observing the Valkyrie assessment during her visit to St. Freya Academy. I hope everyone will perform well."

Theresa introduced the woman behind her to the crowd, who was elegant, beautiful, and full of poise.

"Wow~ She's really beautiful~ Is this the maid Rita?" Mei stood below the stage, looking at Rita and murmuring to herself.
