In Honkai with Tom Cat

Chapter 14: Chapter 14: The Idea



The ancestor often had to be cautious with their words and actions. Many times, impulsiveness or being provoked by something bad could lead to doing or saying things one shouldn't, which could easily lead to big problems.

Moreover, one should never provoke women, especially those who are known to be difficult from the start.

The lesson from blood and pain made Li Huan understand this truth.

If heaven gave him another chance, he would definitely say to the system:

"Fuck you, asshole."

In the home economics classroom, Li Huan and Tom were kneeling side by side on the floor. Not far from them, Kiana sat on a chair, with one leg crossed, watching them.

One person and one cat were bruised and battered, both keeping their heads down and not daring to look at each other.

Meanwhile, Kiana looked at them with a disdainful expression.

There was a cold atmosphere of silence between them. It was only natural—if you woke up from a coma to find two idiots making fun of you and saying your father was dead, you'd also look at them with disdain.

Li Huan, kneeling on the floor, seemed like he wanted to say something.

He had been kneeling for about half an hour; his legs had started to go numb, and if he continued any longer, he might not even be able to stand.

After a moment of internal struggle, Li Huan finally spoke: "Um, can we get up now?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Kiana showed an impatient expression: "Why?"

"We've been kneeling for half an hour. You must be calmed down by now, right?"

"Do you even understand what you've done?"

Kiana slammed her hand on the table and pointed at herself: "Making such a joke about a girl who suddenly fell unconscious—have you lost your mind?"

"Uh."

Li Huan closed his mouth. At this moment, he was relieved that Kiana had no memory of how he fell unconscious; otherwise, things would be more complicated.

"Forget it, you can get up."

It seemed like her anger had indeed subsided, and Kiana did not insist on keeping Li Huan and Tom kneeling.

"Um, thank you. Thank you."

Li Huan quickly nodded his thanks and got up from the floor. At the same time, he grumbled inwardly: "System, look at the trouble you've caused."

[How can you blame me? You're the one who chose to do this.]

"If it weren't for your terrible idea, I wouldn't have done this. Now it's going to be difficult to communicate with her."

[I didn't force you. It's you who were black hearted. If you were truly an honorable person, you wouldn't have followed my suggestion.]

The system said with a flat but direct tone: [In the end, you had this tendency in your heart. I bet that if it were a familiar person who fell unconscious, you would have thought of playing a prank even without my suggestion.]

Li Huan was immediately displeased: "What do you mean?"

[Hehehe, let's not discuss this.] The system let out a very irritating laugh,[ Besides, what I suggested wasn't to harm you. Your actions earlier actually brought you some benefits.]

?

Just as Li Huan was puzzled, Kiana looked at him and Tom and suddenly said: "Let's put aside the previous account for now. Who are you?"

Hearing this question, Li Huan cleared his throat and introduced himself to Kiana: "I'm Li Huan, a janitor who just started working at this school today. This is my cat, Tom…"

Click.

With the crisp sound of a gun being cocked, Kiana pulled out two pistols from behind her waist and aimed them at Li Huan and Tom.

"I'm not asking that. What I'm asking is, who are you really?"

The last four words were pronounced heavily, and there was no expression in the girl's eyes other than chilling murderous intent.

"In the center of this Honkai outbreak, where almost everyone has become a death soldier, and a man and a cat are unaffected… Do you think I'm an idiot?"

The gun barrels glinted with cold light, and her fingers were on the triggers.

It seemed that unless Li Huan provided an acceptable answer, she would pull the trigger without hesitation.

Facing the black gun barrels, Li Huan felt a bit nervous. As for Tom, seeing Kiana draw her guns, the cat had already cowered behind Li Huan, trembling in fear.

Kiana's reaction was a bit beyond Li Huan's expectations, but it seemed reasonable.

Although Kiana was often described as dumb due to poor academic performance and susceptibility to deceit, dumb didn't mean she was foolish.

According to the setting, Kiana had undergone extensive training with her father and had traveled alone from Siberia to Far East for a secret mission.

Such a person would have long been dead in some corner if she were truly stupid.

Therefore, she at least retained basic judgment and logical thinking.

There is a peculiar setting in Honkai: Except for those with specific bloodlines or those who have undergone modifications, normal men have significantly lower resistance to Honkai than women.

Moreover, the Honkai in Thousand Feathers Academy was meticulously controlled and triggered.

The entire academy was filled with intense Honkai energy, and in this situation, the appearance of a human and a large cat unaffected by the Honkai energy would make anyone suspicious.

Seeing Kiana getting so worked up, Li Huan wasn't really worried.

Firstly, he had Tom. With the invincible Tom around, even if Kiana wanted to act, she couldn't take Li Huan's life with Tom's help.

Secondly, even without Tom, Li Huan still had a trump card, a special card that could save his life in a crisis. Once used, Kiana, no matter how capable, wouldn't be able to match up to Li Huan.

But was it necessary? Turning hostile with Kiana seemed like a foolish move from any perspective.

As a Honkai heroine, although her combat power couldn't be said to be the strongest, having Kiana around during the zombie crisis in Thousand Feathers Academy was like having a free bodyguard. Following her through the plot was the best strategy.

According to the plot, Kiana would eventually enter the Valkyrie Academy run by her aunt. Although it wasn't particularly safe there, there wouldn't be any major dangers before the formal plot developed.

Given this, there was no reason not to cling to this safe opportunity.

After much consideration, Li Huan had made up his mind.

"If you're going to ask like that… then I'll tell you."

Li Huan said seriously to Kiana:

"I'm really just a janitor who started today, and I have no other identity."
