Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Ji Zi came back to her senses and took the wine, gulped down a big gulp, then looked at Jiu Xiao with a bit of resentment and anger, but it was more like she was looking at Jiu Xiao's teacher behind him.

"Your teacher is absolutely a rubbish teacher. He has no sense of responsibility at all. He not only condones but also forces his students to drink. You are so unlucky to have met such a teacher."

Jiuxiao turned his head sideways and looked at Ji Zi with a smile.

Looking at this still young girl, he reprimanded his teacher.

"Jizi, it's not bad luck. Meeting the teacher is one of the luckiest things in my life."

"Oh, then I won't change my opinion."

Ji Zi snorted coldly and gulped down the beer in her hand in a depressed manner.

Jiuxiao also picked up the bottle and drank it in one gulp with Ji Zi.

After drinking, Ji Zi didn't throw the bottle away, and Jiu Xiao didn't throw it away either.

The cool breeze in the early morning blew slowly, brushing against Jiuxiao and Jizi's skin. Under the influence of the wind and alcohol, their cheeks and skin were slightly rosy.

Himeko: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have commented on your teacher so casually."

Jiu Xiao: "No, no need to apologize. Because in the eyes of outsiders, she is indeed a guy who only knows how to drink..."

Jizi: "With such an obvious shortcoming, you still feel lucky to have met her... That proves that she is indeed a good teacher."

Jiuxiao: "Hmm...good teacher, very good one."

The two were silent for a while, and then Ji Zi looked up with a bit of melancholy, and said intermittently:

"Actually... I also had a good teacher. When I was fifteen, I was admitted to California Institute of Technology..."

Jiuxiao paused in drinking and turned to look at Ji Zi in disbelief.

Ji Zi received Jiu Xiao's shocked look and felt very satisfied and proud.

"Hehe, you can't believe it! Even though I don't look like I can read, I'm pretty good at it!"

Jiuxiao's hands were trembling slightly. He thought Ji Zi was admitted normally, but he didn't expect that she would skip a grade and go to Caltech at the age of fifteen!

What was I doing when I was fifteen? Begging on the streets with Kiana?

That's fine.

"Very impressive... When I was fifteen, it was still there. Never mind, let's not talk about it."

"Skipping class? No way, you look very elegant!" Ji Zi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"No wonder you think your teacher who taught you how to drink is a good teacher."

"Ji Zi..."

Jiuxiao glanced at Ji Zi dimly.

Ji Zi also reacted, clasped her hands together and tilted her head to make a cute apology gesture.

"Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have commented on your teacher so casually!"

"Forget it, you can comment however you want, I don't mind."

"No, no, actually I'm not qualified to say that. Because I also skipped class."

Jizi's tone softened, and she began to chug her drink again.

"Is it the certificate of withdrawal?"

"Well... Senior Jiuxiao, it's not a good habit to peek into other people's things."

"Just put it on the bedside table. It's hard not to see it in such a small room."

"Humph……"

"You can lean on my shoulder."

"I'm not that weak."

"Then stay away from me. I'm afraid you'll vomit on me."

"You are such a humorless guy, take my punch."

Ji Zi said that, but actually did not throw a punch. Instead, she leaned sideways and leaned on Jiu Xiao's shoulder.

Ji Zi: "Senior Jiuxiao... before going to bed, will you blame yourself for disappointing a good teacher who has focused on cultivating you?"

Jiuxiao did not answer, but fell into silence.

Seeing that Jiuxiao didn't react, Ji Zi subconsciously said to herself: "That's right... Senior is already an S-level Valkyrie, and her life has reached its peak... How could she feel guilty like a loser like me..."

Jiuxiao looked up at the moon, thinking of the two girls named after the moon.

"Yes, I will blame myself and feel guilty..."

"Huh?!!!" Ji Zi shouted in surprise.

"Don't be so surprised. Just like you don't look like you can read, I'm not as good as I look."

Ji Zi looked at the bottle of wine in her hand and wanted to say to Jiu Xiao, "You have a story, I have wine..." But she just thought about it.

Both of them thought of bad memories and fell silent.

The atmosphere became gloomy for some reason. The two of them were thinking about their own things and drinking alone.

Jizi thought of her university teacher Walter. She still admired and respected him very much, and he had always taken good care of her.

He is not only a master, but also more like a father, but... Walter is ashamed to face Jizi, and Jizi also suspects that her father's disappearance is related to him.

After asking Walter to no avail, Ji Zi, despite Walter's opposition, insisted on dropping out of school and joining the Destiny Organization to look for her father.

This eventually led to the two of them parting ways and becoming strangers to each other as teacher.

Human beings are a combination of contradictions. As students, they will always hate their teachers, but at the same time, they will always remember the teachers who have played an important role in their cultivation and keep them in their hearts.

This feeling is especially strong when the teacher has high hopes for you, but you fail to live up to the teacher's expectations and trust because of your stubbornness. That deep sense of self-blame is hard to get rid of.

Jizi did not regret it, but she blamed herself and felt guilty towards Walter. She felt guilty for being a teacher who had focused on cultivating her. In the end, she could only watch with regret that she stubbornly submitted her application for withdrawal and embarked on a completely unexpected path.

Jiu Xiao also felt this deeply, because he had failed everyone's expectations and cultivation...

Teacher Jizi taught me a lot, telling me how to love, love correctly, love people, love the world...

But he ended up being a complete bastard. Not only did he fail to live up to the expectations of his teachers and friends, but he also became overwhelmed by lust and emotional debts.

The world nurtured Jiuxiao with love, but Jiuxiao gave the world an eternal nightmare.

On the rooftop in the early morning, two people, feeling guilty and self-blaming, drank in silence, one bottle after another.

But alcohol could not numb Jiuxiao's already numb heart, and reflection could not transform Jiuxiao from a world-destroying demon into the savior of light.

Once the flame is ignited and begins to spread, it is no longer under the control of the person who started it.

The seeds of destruction have been planted, and a tree of resentment burning with raging flames has blossomed.

They grow, they spread, they will devour the entire world, burning everything to ashes, until the origin of everything, everything - the tree of imaginary numbers.

The wine that Ji Zi brought was gradually running out, and both of them were emitting a strong smell of alcohol.
