Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 244: He's daydreaming again, fantasizing that he's incredibly lucky and will win t

A little earlier.

"Hmph hmph hmph~"

Strolling among the teaching buildings, I felt quite good on March 7th, surrounded by smiling, youthful girls.

"The first phase of the pioneering team's mission is complete!"

When the last lost companion was found, March 7th immediately came up with many plans after a brief moment of joy: such as having Qiong and Uncle Yang tell each other about their experiences after being separated, kicking away Uncle Yang, an adult, and having a pillow fight with Sunday, which she loves the most, looking through her precious photo album together, and going back to steal Pam's train pot... However, none of these were done for the time being.

"Danheng, what do you think we should do to help Qiong fully regain his memories?"

Although Qiong has returned, her mind seems to be damaged—she suffers from severe partial amnesia! She remembers the trash candy in her room, but can't even remember her own room; she can call out Dan Heng's name, but has forgotten what Dan Heng said before they set sail…

However, Dan Heng did not speak, but on Sunday he kept responding to March 7 out of politeness.

In Danheng's view, Qiong's memories can slowly recover after she returns, but there are more urgent matters.

Ironically, the person who should be anxious is completely oblivious to the urgency of the problem; it's truly a case of the emperor not being worried while the eunuch is.

On March 7th, she clenched her fists and waved them twice in mid-air.

"No matter what, I will find a way to help him regain his memory! Even if it means going through fire and water or being shattered to pieces!"

"Miss March, I can feel your determination."

Sunday applauded the spirited March 7th, and the bond between comrades was truly touching.

Perhaps he can learn some admirable qualities from March 7 that he hadn't discovered before but which belong to those who pioneer their own path... As I said before, everyone in the train crew is his mentor and friend!

"But speaking of which, what exactly is the method? Should we ask Ms. Black Tower to conduct experiments? Or ask Ms. White Dew for electroconvulsive therapy? Or should we use Danheng's method, to stimulate her with 'Himeko's terribly awful special blend' coffee?"

"In March, forget about the last one."

Feeling compelled to speak, Danheng interrupted March 7's wild thoughts, because March might actually be forcibly giving Qiong coffee for treatment...

"Excuse me, are you discussing how to torture Senior Qiong?"

Having been assigned a task by Coralie, Helia, who was openly eavesdropping near the group, felt increasingly uneasy as she listened. She moved closer to the three of them and couldn't help but ask.

"It's you, Miss Helia! What torture? How could I possibly torture him? I just want to help him regain his memories."

Helia looked hesitant.

With experiments, electroconvulsive therapy, and a drink that's described as "terribly awful," is this really a treatment or torture?

But March 7's innocent smile made it impossible for Helia to doubt.

"That's right!"

March 7th quickly came up with a great idea that could stimulate memories and enhance relationships with new friends.

"Miss Helia, why don't you invite little Coralie over tonight, let's have a pillow fight!"

Helia: ?

She felt like she couldn't keep up with March 7's thought process.

But in March 7's view, it all made perfect sense: the pillow fight was a special bedtime game initiated by March 7, a member of the Starry Sky Train, and only the younger members participated in (although I don't want to admit it, Dan Heng had the best record).

The clever and quick-witted Little March quickly made up her mind to change the original plan of the pioneer team's bedtime chat into a nighttime chat plus a pillow fight—she believed that this time, many people would definitely participate, and if they hit Qiong's head more often, it would definitely remind him of something!

Oh right, don't forget familiar people, scenes, and objects! Maybe taking Sora to the train will awaken some of her memories?

Thinking of this, March 7th couldn't help but applaud her own wisdom: as long as she followed this method, Qiong would remember everything!

"We're so smart!"

When March 7th suddenly exclaimed that he was clever, Helia, like Danheng, fell silent.

However, one side believes that the March 7th event missed the point, while the other side simply didn't understand it at all.

Unperturbed by Helia joining the group, the four continued their stroll through St. Freya.

For March 7th, due to various reasons, she hadn't had a chance to properly explore this beautiful school last time, but now she finally had the time to appreciate it! Danheng and Sunday had no objections, but Helia…

She felt strange walking around the academy with Mei-sensei's rival.

"Miss Helia, you and little Coralie both graduated from here, right?"

"Ah."

Helia responded, "That's true."

"Do you know where the most fun place is?"

Helia paused for a moment; this question seemed to be a bit difficult for him.

"Let me think it over..."

To be honest, she didn't know.

Not to mention that during her school years, she devoted most of her energy to training. Her occasional relaxation consisted of a jog followed by a big meal, and at most, she would go for a short stroll with Coralie (just a short stroll, after which she had to go back to training). Asking her to know which restaurant in St. Freya's food street was the best (however, the food street was so different ten years ago and ten years later that she couldn't say which was good) and recommend fun places to tourists was a bit...

"I think the training grounds are probably the most fun place in the academy, right?"

"Training ground?"

March 7th was a great disappointment.

"What's so fun about that?"

"There are all kinds of advanced training equipment there, and we can also conduct live-fire simulations."

He remained unmoved on March 7th.

"And every now and then, Valkyries would spar there..."

"A sparring match between Valkyries?"

March 7th's eyes lit up: This seems interesting!

"I've never witnessed a battle between Valkyries before!"

As he spoke, March 7th grabbed Helia's arm.

"Can you take us there?"

--------------

"You idiot Helia, who brings people to visit the training ground!"

"I didn't expect this either..."

The strategist ran while cursing his teammate as a brainless idiot, and this time Helia was powerless to refute him.

Qiong really wanted to say yes, like him.

He once took two S-class Valkyries to visit the training ground.

"So, how exactly did the fight start?"

"In short, Miss March 7th said she could take on ten..."

--------------

The training ground was already packed with Valkyries, three or four deep, around one particular area.

"I wonder what their battle will be like?"

March 7th was so excited that she danced around, her eyes fixed on the two people on the field, as if she could see a local version of a martial arts ceremony or a Beloberg boxing match at any moment. She had already imagined several scenarios for this.

"Go! Beat her up!"

"I can't believe it!" March 7th shouted excitedly, and Helia behind her instinctively took a step back.

"Be careful in March."

The Valkyries on the sidelines all looked at March 7 with eyes that looked at him as if he were an idiot—this was a friendly spar, not a life-or-death duel!

The two Valkyries on the field quickly clashed, one wielding a spear and the other a longsword. The weapons collided, sparks flying everywhere.

At first, March 7th was very excited and couldn't help but rub her hands together and mutter, "I can't resist trying it out too," which made Danheng have to be distracted and ready to hold her down at any time. But soon, March 7th lost interest.

After Yanqing and Yunli's hellish special training in the absence of someone, March 7's swordsmanship, though not enough to fight against the company's mechs, was at least somewhat accomplished. She could tell at a glance that the two of them hadn't gone all out.

It's pointless not to give it your all! It's not even as good as the Berloberg boxing match where the cool-faced little dragon fights the robot!

"It's not that great..."

"March, be careful!"

Dan Heng sighed and rubbed his forehead. When you're on someone else's turf, you should maintain the proper manners and respect.

"Miss March, is there a problem?"

Sunday was puzzling. Aside from the slightly lower intensity of the competition, was there anything wrong? The winners were clean and decisive, and the losers' performances were also commendable…

"I'm a seasoned veteran, and I feel like they're not up to the task..."

Such offensive remarks naturally attracted the hatred of others, and countless eyes were fixed on March 7th and her friends (except for Helia).

"You say we're no good? Then come and have a go at us!"

In the crowd, someone's words reached March 7th's ears.

"we?"

March 7th pointed to himself.

"What, you're afraid?"

"March--"

Just as Dan Heng was about to dissuade him, March 7th had already walked to the center of the field and casually picked up two training swords.

"Alright, alright, who wants to spar with me!"

The Valkyries were amused by the arrogant pink-haired girl who suddenly barged in, but one blue-haired Valkyrie stepped forward, ready to spar with March 7.

"I'll do it!"

For such an arrogant person, take them down in one move!

The blue-haired Valkyrie threw her spear into the middle of the arena, but this was just a distraction—before she finished speaking, she grabbed another spear and aimed straight for March 7's shoulder.

March 7th remained motionless, seemingly unaware of the impending crisis, but...

Before the spear tip arrived, March 7th proactively swung his sword to block the opponent's fierce thrust. Using the recoil, he nimbly twisted his body and then unleashed a flurry of sword strikes with both hands at the still-recovering blue-haired Valkyrie's vitals. The blue-haired Valkyrie, surprised that the seemingly foolish March 7th possessed such strength, hurriedly raised her spear to parry.

"You lost."

Smiling, March 7th withdrew the sword that had reached the other person's waist.

The onlookers, who were originally waiting to see a good show, were all stunned. It turned out that he wasn't just talking big; he really had real skills!

"Is there anyone else who wants to have a match with us?"

On March 7th, having achieved a resounding victory, his playful spirit was aroused, and he successfully provoked yet another white-haired Valkyrie who wielded a dagger.

"Don't think you're so great just because you beat her. I'll show you what I'm made of!"

Two minutes later...

On March 7th, he turned around, plunged his sword into the ground to block the dagger, used the sword as a fulcrum to leap up, and kicked the white-haired Valkyrie in the face, knocking her to the ground.

"That's boring, I could take on ten of them!"

At this moment, due to the exclamations of the surrounding Valkyries, half of the Valkyries in the training ground surrounded them. Seeing how arrogant March 7 was, they decisively chose to... attack one by one.

After all, it's impossible for ten of them to gang up on a girl who only has two swords, but...

When the fifth Valkyrie wielding dual pistols was taken down by March 7's sword aura while March 7 remained standing on the stage drawing aggro, they really started to consider the possibility of taking on one more enemy.

"Is that Chinese Kung Fu?"

"Definitely! Also, I feel like I can't hurt her even at close range! She definitely has some kind of protective inner energy from Chinese novels!"

Just as some Valkyries hesitated about whether to launch a group attack, a calm voice rang out.

"Very good swordsmanship."

"Fu Hua!"

On March 7th, the crowd parted automatically, and a gray-haired girl walked in. She glanced at March 7th, who was still full of enthusiasm, and then at the Valkyries around her, whose faces were full of resentment.

"Young man, your skills are outstanding, but let's stop here during our sparring. That student was almost injured by you just now... Alright, shall I spar with you? You study Shenzhou martial arts, right? Which school or sect?"

Seeing Fu Hua on the stage, Helia, who couldn't get through to Coralie's phone no matter what she did, decisively rushed out the door—if things get this bad, whether Fu Hua wins or March 7 loses, the relationship will be very strained and it won't end well, right?

We must go and call Senior Qiong over!

"Sect?"

March 7 scratched her head. The heroes of the Immortal Boat Fantasy Play did have the habit of announcing their names before the battle. Since she was standing here, she couldn't let her two masters down!

We need to come up with a good name!

"This young lady is the peerless heroine, the Glazed Sword that cleanses away evil spirits, March 7th!"

"Excuse me, I was asking about the sect..."

Fu Hua adjusted her glasses with her hand.

"Sects... but there are no sects! You probably don't know our masters either, one is named Yun Li, and the other is named Yan Qing..."

"Yanqing..."

For some reason, upon hearing this name, Fu Hua felt a faint, phantom pain in her right foot, hands, internal organs, chest, and entire head...

"Please give me more advice."

Perhaps, it would be a good choice to teach this girl, who's gotten a little too carried away, some real skills.

I need Sunday!

Although the email I finally received was from Silver Wolf.
