Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

(Continuing from the previous episode, after the battle with the Orphnoch, Long Qiao and his group ran towards the outer perimeter...)

"Ugh, damn it! How come there are so many weirdos in Changkong City!" Long Qiao led her group to hide in a corner.

"Haha—by the way, what are those green, worm-like things? Why can't we see them anymore once they change their appearance?" Himeko asked.

"That's a strange insect. It can transform into a human. After molting, it becomes an adult insect. Adult insects can move at supersonic speeds, which ordinary people cannot see," Long Qiao explained.

"Huh? How am I supposed to fight like this? I can't see anything at all!" Kiana said dejectedly.

"By the way, Brother Qiao, don't you have a speed boost? Why doesn't this work?" Mei asked.

“Oh right, Qiao-ge, you do have a speed boost,” Kiana said.

"You overestimate me and underestimate the Zerg. My acceleration time is only 30 seconds, and the accelerated form can only be maintained for 1 minute. If it exceeds this time, I will die, and I can't keep accelerating indefinitely," Long Qiao said helplessly.

"Huh? What should we do then?"

“Actually, it’s still possible to fight, as long as you can predict the outcome,” Bronya replied.

“That’s right, that’s just one method. Another method is to use the corresponding knight to solve the problem,” Long Qiao said.

"Knights? Could there be knights who can counter the Zerg?" Bronya and the other two said in unison.

“Yes!” Long Qiao then pulled out a picture of Kabuto from his person.

"Where did you pull that out from?" Menmo teased from the side.

"What kind of knight is this? He looks so cool!" Himeko said, looking at the picture.

“Of course, this is the rider known as the sun god, Kamen Rider Kabuto, also called Kamen Rider Kabuto. However, there are some riders of the same kind as Kabuto who can also accelerate. I don’t have a picture, but they are all pretty powerful,” Long Qiao said.

"Moreover, there are not only Zerg here, but also Grongi, Orphnochs, and hybrids. I can fight them all except the Zerg," Long Qiao said as she led the group on their way.

"Bang—" A blast of light shot towards Long Qiao.

"Ah!" Kiana and the other two were knocked unconscious on the spot by the explosion. Himeko, being an A-rank Valkyrie, withstood the blast, as did the three main characters.

"Hahaha, Lindo—you guys are really pathetic," the tortoise Gurongi laughed.

"You son of a bitch! You stinking turtle!" Long Qiao cursed at the tortoise Gurongi who was firing at them.

What followed was a series of bombings.

"Damn it, there's absolutely no time to transform!" Menmo cursed.

Just as everyone was dodging, a cannonball hit the turtle Gurongi.

"Huh! What is that?"

"Mobile Pegasus? Thank you." Long Qiao said, looking at the Mobile Pegasus that was covering them.

"Henshin!" x3

"Complete!"

"KamenRide, Decade"

"You damned turtle, prepare to die!" Zhang Qing said.

"FINAL VENT" Zhang Qing got into position, and with the help of the Peerless Dragon, he leaped into the air and used the Knight Kick on the Gurongi.

"Hey! Xiaoqing! Hey, Brother Mo, come along too, after all, Xiaoqing has already started a group."

"Oh!" Menmo replied helplessly.

"Crimson Smash" Long Qiao attached the faiz cursor to his right foot and unleashed a Knight Kick at Wang Ba.

"Fourth brother, why are you so reckless? Sigh, there's no other way, I'll accompany you this once." Men Mo said helplessly.

"Final AttackRide De-De-Decade" - Insert the Ride Card into the Driver to unleash the ultimate attack.

With a flash of fire, the Gurongi was kicked to death by the three men.

"Let's go now!" As Long Qiao finished speaking, the motorized Pegasus transformed back into a motorcycle.

"We really owe this to the Motorized Pegasus. If it weren't for it, we wouldn't have been able to transform." Long Qiao said as he carried the three unconscious people onto the motorcycle.

"Zhang Qing, you can leave Kiana with you. Himeko-sensei can stay with Mo-ge. I'll take Mei and Bronya with me," Long Qiao said.

“Speaking of which, Xiaoqiao—” Himeko said, looking towards Longqiao.

"What is it, Himeko-sensei?"

"Your motorcycle can actually transform? That's so cool!"

"Right, right? I also think the Motorized Pegasus is pretty good!"

After that, the group escaped directly from the encirclement of Changkong City.

"Let's go to the Hyperion first."

“Give me directions, I don’t know where you stopped,” Long Qiao said to Ji Zi.

"Right there."

"understood!"

----after a while----

"Phew, finally... finally made it up," Long Qiao said wearily.

"Ah, this fight was really tough," Zhang Qing remarked.

“Indeed, and we’ve also lost some people.” Following Menmo’s words, the group fell silent.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things for now. Who exactly are you three? What are your armors? And what are those monsters besides the Honkai Beasts? Qingmo's explanation was so confusing that I couldn't understand it at all."

"I see. The armors we transform into are collectively called Kamen Riders, and Kamen Riders are people who protect the world and burn their own lives. As for the monsters we fight, some are real monsters, while others are people who have abandoned their dignity as human beings. We have to fight them, and we will die if we are not careful. That's the gist of it." Long Qiao said, looking at the monsters and Honkai Beasts under the Hyperion.

"How do those monsters and Honkai Beasts you're going to fight compare?" Himeko asked.

“An ordinary cannon fodder is a rush-class Honkai Beast, an elite is a tank-class Honkai Beast, the weakest of the officers is at the Temple to Emperor level, a small boss is at the Judgment level, and the big boss has reached the Planetary and Herrscher levels. These are the ones we need to deal with,” Long Qiao said helplessly.

"Moreover, these monsters are not like Honkai Beasts. If we use the Valkyrie standard, even an ordinary one would be a B-rank, which you might not be able to defeat, Himeko-sensei. Not to mention, these monsters are all kinds of different. Sigh!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

“No, this is nothing. Protecting this world is our duty!” Menmo said.

"Indeed, but our current strength is far too insignificant."

During the conversation, they arrived at St. Freya Academy.

"Wow! Is this St. Freya Academy? It's huge!" Zhang Qing exclaimed excitedly, looking at the building in front of him.

“Yes, indeed, it would be great if Brother Qing were here too,” Long Qiao said.

"Alright, let's take the wounded inside first," Himeko said.

"okay!"

----after a while----

"Damn, I'm so tired." The three of them collapsed in the corridor.

"Alright, the three of them are already receiving treatment."

"That's fine."

"Let me ask you a question: Would you like to join St. Freya Academy?" Suddenly, a short, white-haired boy walked over and asked.

"Huh? Little brat, who are you?" Menmo asked.

“Little brat? I’m the headmistress here, Theresa Apocalypse. Just call me Theresa.” Theresa extended her hand to Long Qiao.

"Eh? Dean? You must be Dean Theresa. Hello, my name is Qiao." Long Qiao shook hands with Theresa.

"Hello Dean Theresa, my name is Menmo, and I am Qiao's second brother."

"Uh... hello, my name is Zhang Qing, I'm the youngest among them, I'm their fourth brother."

"Hello, everyone. Getting back to our previous topic, would you like to join St. Freya Academy? And you can also go out and improve your strength at will."

“Is that so? Then I’m willing. I want to avenge Brother Qing!” Zhang Qing said first.

"Let's go too!"

"Alright, you're now students of St. Freya, but right now there are only three boys in this school~"

"(⊙o⊙) Huh?" The three of them were stunned for a moment. "No way! How come there are only three of us boys?!"

"Alright, let's go to class to register together after Kiana and the others wake up."

"Ah—I understand."

----split line----

(What kind of story will unfold for the three of them at St. Freya this time? And when will Qingmo be able to meet everyone again? Please look forward to the next episode, where he officially joins St. Freya Academy.)
