Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

(Continuing from the previous chapter, after Long Qiao, Qing Mo, and Men Mo killed the monster, they became a true family with Ming Hai and the others. Half a month had passed by then.)

"—Ahem," Narumi walked over with three envelope-like objects in his hand.

"Uncle Narumi, what are you holding?" Long Qiao ran up to Narumi and asked, looking at the three envelopes.

“You all come here. It’s been half a month since Qiao came to our side last time, and you two have been with me for quite a while now, but none of you three have found suitable jobs yet, so I went to help you find some,” Minghai said to Long Qiao and the other two.

"Huh? Could this envelope contain—"

"That's right, it's the place where you work."

"Will the three of us separate?"

"No, you work in the same place, just taught in different ways."

Where is it?

“Chiba Academy,” Narumi said.

"Huh??? X3"

"Isn't Qianyu Academy an all-girls school?" Qingmo asked.

"correct."

"Wouldn't it be very awkward for us to go there?" Men Mo commented.

"You're just going there to teach."

"???"

“You all work at Qianyu Academy. Qiao is a physical education teacher, Qingmo is a chemistry teacher, and as for Menmo, you are a cafeteria cook.” Minghai said, his hands behind his back, facing away from everyone.

“Uh… but I think I’m only 18,” Long Qiao said.

"You can look for a job when you turn 18."

"Huh? Okay."

"But why am I the chef?!" Men Mo said with a displeased look.

"Because you used to be a hoodlum, and another reason is that your cooking is really delicious," Qingmo said.

"You...you, fine, fine, I'll be a chef then," Men Mo said helplessly.

"And one more thing, don't come back on weekdays, only on weekends, understand?" Narumi shouted.

"Ah?! No!!!"

"Alright, alright, you three should get to your posts now, stop talking so much."

"Ugh!"

----split line----

"Oh my god, we've been kicked out like this," Qingmo said helplessly.

"A bit unlucky."

As the three were wandering along the road, they suddenly encountered an Orphnoch and two Honkai Beasts. The Orphnoch even looked down at the three of them with its nostrils.

"Tsk, we're already unhappy about being kicked out, and now even Orphnochs and Honkai Beasts dare to provoke us?" Menmo said, veins popping out on his forehead.

"Three of you beat them up together?"

"Yes" x2

"Henshin"X3

With a sound effect, standing before the unfortunate Orphnoch and the Honkai Beasts were Kamen Rider Faiz, Skull, and Decade—

Long Qiao removed the faiz instruction memory and inserted it into the faiz camera, turning it into a faiz punch gun (don't ask where it came from, it was redeemed from the system store).

Long Qiao pressed the "Enter" button on his Faiz phone. After hearing an "Exceed Charge" sound effect, Long Qiao started throwing punches wildly. Each monster he hit had a question mark on it, and then it crumbled into a pile of sand.

"Hey, I've taken care of things here, how about you guys?" Long Qiao said to Qing Mo and Men Mo after de-transforming.

"Solved." Menmo used a Knight's Kick to destroy the last one.

"I'm all set on my end." Qingmo also deactivated his transformation.

"Phew, these weirdos came at just the right time, they gave us a good chance to vent our frustrations."

“In terms of universal truth… that is indeed the case,” Long Qiao said.

"Alright, let's hurry up, we seem to be going to be late." Qingmo said hurriedly, glancing at the time.

"Holy crap!!! Run! I don't want to get my pay docked on my first day!"

"Me too."

----split line----

"Phew, I finally made it."

"Ha...ha...so tired."

"But don't you guys feel something's a little strange?" Qingmo said.

"Now that you mention it, it's true."

Men Mo felt uncomfortable seeing all the stares from the opposite sex around him, and then said, "Brothers, I'm leaving first. These stares are making me very uncomfortable."

"Looking at the information, I seem to be our class's homeroom teacher, but I'm actually the PE teacher." Long Qiao looked at the information speechlessly. "Alright, I'll be going now."

"Class 3 of Grade 1 is... Ah, found it, it's here." Long Qiao found the class's location by looking at the information.

On stage, a teacher was giving a passionate speech—until he saw Long Qiao…

"Ahem—classmates, please be quiet for a moment. Today I'm going to introduce you to a new teacher, who is also your new homeroom teacher. Please welcome our new teacher in. Okay, I'll be going now." A teacher on the stage said, and then left the classroom.

"Um... Hello everyone, I'm a new teacher, who is both the homeroom teacher and the physical education teacher." Long Qiao walked onto the podium amidst applause.

"Wow! So handsome!"

"What a young teacher!"

"And he's also very tall."

"Teacher, how come you're so young? Unlike our teacher from before, who had a receding hairline—" a white-haired girl in the audience said to Long Qiao.

"Ah, ah! Well, I'm only 18, so I'm definitely young. This is my first time being a teacher," Long Qiao said.

"Huh? Only 18 years old? So young and already teaching?" Immediately, everyone was talking about it.

"Yes, but... let me introduce myself first. My name is Qiao, I'm 18 years old, my birthday is May 5.20th. As for hobbies and interests, I don't have any."

"Teacher, do you have any dreams?" the white-fuzzy ball of fur asked.

“Ah, dreams. I have no dreams, but I can protect your dreams,” Long Qiao said with a smile.

“Now that I’ve finished my self-introduction, it’s your turn to introduce yourselves. Let’s start with you—” Long Qiao pointed to the white-haired girl.

"Eh? Me? Hmph, my name is Kiana Kaslana, and my hobbies are eating and playing video games."

"Hmm~ Not bad, next up is the student with black hair."

"Um... my name is Raiden Mei, hello teacher..."

"Ah hello."

The self-introduction session then concluded amidst laughter and cheers.

"Oh right, let's go, time for PE class," Long Qiao said, stretching.

"Great!!!"

----split line----

Soon it was time for school to end, and Long Qiao was waiting for someone by the roadside when he ran into Kiana and Mei.

"Kiana, Mei! Want to grab a bite to eat together?"

"Eh? Teacher, um... sure. But I'm a big eater!" Kiana patted her chest proudly and said.

"Oh? That's great!"

The three then went to a restaurant during their conversation.

"Give it a try, it's really delicious here."

After eating with Kiana and Mei—

"Ah, I'm a little full."

"Yes."

"Hey? What's that?"

"Ok?"

"Holy crap? Gurongi? What are they doing here? And they seem to be chasing someone?"

Long Qiao exclaimed in surprise, "There are still three of them. Mei, Kiana, you two go first."

"And what about you, teacher?" Kiana asked.

"Me? Of course I'll go and meet the enemy."

"Heh—I haven't played for a day, and my hands are itching to play," Long Qiao said excitedly.

"Henshin."

"Complte"

"Wow!!! Teacher, what are you doing? You look so cool!" Kiana exclaimed, looking at Ryuu Takumi, who had transformed into Kamen Rider Faiz.

"This form of mine is Kamen Rider Faiz, or you could say Kamen Rider 555, and all of these are collectively called Kamen Rider."

"That's so cool."

"Alright, let's run first, so you don't get hurt if a fight breaks out."

"Okay okay."

"Gulangji!!! Stop!" Long Qiao, camera in fist mode, charged forward—
