World Modulation Mode in Honkai

Kiana's last-minute cramming, combined with Ye Feng's strict training, really paid off.

After all, if she didn't learn well, she'd get punished—not only herself but possibly Mei as well. Kiana's determination skyrocketed, and last night, she avoided triggering the punishment mechanism.

"Yay!!!"

The girl, dressed only in white ankle socks, jumped up in joy. However, she still got a few questions wrong, leaving Kiana feeling a bit nervous.

"Can I win?"

She had to outscore Bronya. Although she didn't want to admit it, that girl was indeed outstanding in academics.

"You will win."

Ye Feng said confidently. Seeing his self-assured look, Kiana clenched her fists as well.

"Finally, you're saying something that makes sense. Alright! I can't afford to lose either."

Otherwise, all this special training would be for nothing. Kiana had never been this serious before.

"I've systematically organized the key points; just review them, and it'll be enough to glance through."

"Okay. Um... are you going to leave me alone here?"

Seeing Yefeng turn to leave, Kiana almost blurted out, "Aren't you going to punish me?"

Ye Feng looked at Kiana warmly, like a kind father, and said, "After you finish reviewing, you can relax around the school. Here, as long as I approve, you're allowed to do anything."

"Anything...?"

Kiana tilted her head.

"For example, doing things to Mei."

"No way!"

Kiana blushed, clenching her fists, and angrily said, "I'm not like you."

"I don't mind, but you won't get another chance like this. This is a reward for all your hard work recently. Now, keep it up, young lady."

"..."

Kiana silently watched Yefeng leave, without saying another word. Alone in the classroom, she surprisingly settled down as Ye Feng instructed and reviewed the key points. Then, Mei entered the classroom, wearing an adorable skirt. The sunlight danced on her hair and dress—this was the essence of Kiana's youth.

*Gulp...*

In the quiet classroom, Kiana's swallowing was clearly audible. She looked at the radiant Mei, her body trembling involuntarily.

"Mei..."

Kiana approached Mei, her trembling hand reaching out to her fair cheek, just like Ye Feng's trembling hand when he first touched Bronya's black stockings.

The distance from Kiana's hand to Mei's cheek was just a few centimeters, but to Kiana, it felt like time had slowed down.

The journey felt incredibly long, filled with happiness and anticipation.

Finally, she touched her face.

Mei's cheek was so smooth, her skin so perfect. Kiana held her breath, her body heating up, as her fingers gently moved down to Mei's elegant neck.

But then, Kiana's hand stopped.

She noticed that Mei's eyes did not reflect her own image.

*Bang!*

Kiana's hand slammed down on the desk.

"What am I doing? If I really did this, I'd be just like Ye Feng!"

This is a trap! This is definitely a trap that guy set to lead me astray!

Kiana glanced longingly at Mei before dashing out of the classroom like she was fleeing.

"She actually did nothing?"

Ye Feng, observing from the shadows, looked disappointed.

Otherwise, he could have recorded it, and who knows, maybe Mei would enter here someday too. That would be really useful. Plus, Ye Feng could burst in halfway, look at Kiana with disdain, and say, "I didn't expect you to be like this."

Recreating various scenarios and playing with them is much more fun.

But Kiana, her self-control is pretty strong.

Ye Feng couldn't hold back back then.

That day, when he faced Bronya, he was really frustrated.

"Ye Feng! Ye Feng, where are you!"

Kiana ran down the hallway, shouting. Ye Feng silently appeared at the end, and Kiana, seeing his silhouette, ran up to him.

"What do you mean?" Kiana demanded.

"What do you mean by what?"

"Why did you send Mei to me..."

Kiana's voice trailed off. Okay, she was a bit regretful now.

"Whatever you think it means, bug."

"Don't call me a bug! I'm not like you, doing inappropriate things to Mei! Even if I do, it'll be upfront and honest!"

"Is it not upfront and honest right now?"

"Ugh..."

That made sense.

No, no, Kiana shook her head.

"What exactly are you planning?"

Ye Feng said honestly, "You are also part of my play."

"?!"

Kiana glared at Ye Feng angrily, "I knew you were up to no good! I won't let you succeed!"

┑(~Д~)┍: "Whatever, I have all the time and energy to play this game with you."

Finally, the busy and stressful exam week came to an end.

Two days later, students crowded around the big screen in front of the exam bulletin board.

They anxiously searched for their names and scores. Some sighed, some rejoiced, and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Kiana, enduring all her suffering, had indeed achieved a remarkable result.

Even Bronya was shocked, finding it hard to believe as she stared at the list.

"No way, Stupid Kiana actually got second place..."

"Hmph, little dwarf, now you see how amazing I am!"

Kiana proudly placed her hands on her hips, "From now on, you can drop the 'stupid' from my name."

Kiana didn't understand why everyone was so surprised. Could they be more surprised than she was?

During the exam, when she looked at the multiple-choice questions, the four options seemed to speak to her: A, I'm the correct answer. B, A is the correct answer. C, Don't pick me. D, Pick A.

For the fill-in-the-blank questions, her mind automatically filled in the answers.

And for the essay questions, as soon as she read them, the solution paths automatically formed in her mind.

That feeling was amazing.

"But, the first place is actually her!"

The top spot went to "Fu Hua."

Although betting against Bronya was the focus, Kiana was aiming for the top spot this time.

She was confident in her practical skills and had filled the gaps in her academic knowledge, so there was no reason she shouldn't be number one.

"How is this possible?! Damn it! Why? After all the suffering I went through!"

Kiana collapsed, her hands on the ground, arching her back. The smooth curve of her body reflected a soft glow.

Even though she looked dejected, the overall impression was... strangely sensual.

"Kiana, don't do that, there are a lot of people here."

Everyone's eyes focused on them, and Mei shyly tried to help Kiana up, "Getting second place is already amazing."

"Mm, Bronya agrees too. I underestimated you before. Here, have Bronya's favorite Homu doll as a gift."
