Honkai, but Behind the Scenes

Following the system's last prompt, the scene in front of Tian Shi's eyes changed.

Soon, two images appeared in his field of vision.

One was of a white-haired boy playing wildly on the playground.

The other, a dark-violet-haired girl quietly reading a book in the classroom.

And really, it's babysitting again.

Tian Shi sighed.

Obviously, the system didn't allow him to choose the "starting point."

"Let's go with MEI to start calmly anyway."

Seeing the white-haired boy playing wildly on the playground, Tian Shi was truly tired.

At least wait until he calms down.

After making the decision, the scene around Tian Shi changed again.

When the surroundings became clear, Tian Shi had already appeared behind MEI.

Speaking of which, it seems Kevin and MEI are elementary school students now?

To confirm this, Tian Shi went out to take a look at the grade.

Good heavens... third grade of elementary school.

That being said, the Third Honkai is still far off.

The timing is much more suitable than Fu Hua's previous simulation.

Thinking of this, Tian Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he didn't have to race against time.

If the opening had been with the start of the third Honkai impact, Tian Shi could only let MEI and Kevin follow the original plot.

Tian Shi focused his attention on MEI, who was seriously looking at the book.

How should I put it...?

Although she is still an elementary school student, MEI has an aura about her that keeps people away.

"Do you like physics?"

Although he felt a sense of guilt for disturbing other people's studies, Tian Shi bit the bullet and asked softly.

"Um."

MEI replied without looking back.

It seems many people had asked her this question, so MEI didn't notice that the questioner this time came from thin air.

"How much have you learned from this book?"

"One-fifth."

The answer was still neat and too lazy, as if even turning around was a waste of time.

"Although it's very basic knowledge, it's incredible that you can learn one-fifth."

Basic?

MEI then looked away from the book.

"This is a university textbook."

MEI finally spoke a long sentence with some emotion.

Although most of the feelings were of questioning.

"It also depends on who you're comparing yourself to; if you ask a scientist, this is, without a doubt, basic knowledge."

Tian Shi commented objectively.

"Previous things are too simple for a true scientist."

"..."

MEI adjusted her glasses and turned her head curiously.

Who dared to make such a comment?

The teacher?

The dean?

Or the principal?

Although it sounds young.

Of course, MEI didn't discover the existence of any "person."

"A prank?"

Looking at the empty classroom due to the end of the school day, MEI lowered her head in confusion and looked under the table in the last row, wanting to see if some boys in the class were deliberately playing tricks.

"It's not a prank, I'm a Guardian Angel, and probably also a top scientist, right?"

Tian Shi said with a bit of arrogance.

As far as his current level, let alone practice, in theory, he wasn't worse than Einstein; after all, it was the ability he got for free from Einstein.

"Guardian Angel... Scientist?"

"That's right, the scientific angel, Tian Shi."

Tian Shi introduced himself upright.

After MEI heard this sentence, there was an obvious confusion on her face: this was an expected reaction.

Although MEI is not interested in anything other than studying, she knows about the word ghost.

But... are the terms ghost and scientist really compatible?

Elementary school student MEI, who is determined to become a scientist, is still very materialistic due to her family and personality.

Suddenly, a boy appears claiming to be a ghost, which makes her unable to react.

"Since you are a scientist, can you explain your existence in a scientific way?"

MEI raised a very pertinent question.

Even if she is still an elementary school student, MEI is MEI, and even if she asks questions, she is fresh and refined.

"If everything in the world is known, what do scientists do?"

Tian Shi asked again.

"A scientist's job is to study those unexplored territories, and this process doesn't happen overnight."

Tian Shi replied in a very methodical way.

"However, if it's about the current research results, I can share some with you; I call it the Guardian Angel mechanism."

Speaking of research on the Guardian Angel...

Although Tian Shi hadn't studied himself.

Hadn't Einstein and the others?

Moreover, as the research subject at that time, he naturally had those conclusions.

"First, the Guardian Angel cannot leave the host by 50 meters, if it exceeds this range, it will be instantly teleported back to the host. "

"This has been confirmed through experiments."

Although MEI couldn't see him, Tian Shi raised a finger.

"Secondly, as an Angel, I can possess or haunt some objects"

"While possessed, I can control them and give them some characteristics, from small modifications to teleportation, anything is possible, and possessing is performing a process on people or things, a curse of a debilitating nature..."

Tian Shi spoke endlessly, and MEI listened very attentively.

Tian Shi really knew how attractive he was to scientists.

An angel that doesn't appear is called theology, and an angel that can appear is already materialism.

This represents a completely new field of science, a new continent that no one has ever explored.

Einstein and her eagerness to study it remained in his memory.

"It's a little unbelievable."

After listening to Tian Shi's long speech, accompanied by a sound of [MEI compatibility +10%], MEI couldn't help but sigh.

"No, not a little, it's very unbelievable."

This tone is completely like that of a little scientist.

"So, according to what you said, I was the one you chose?"

Mei asked softly.

"Yes, but you're not alone."

"Umm."

MEI nodded first, then thought with a sullen face.

In any case, now MEI is only a third-grade elementary school student.

Although her speech is clear and her progress is moderate, her experience is not deep, and MEI, who is addicted to learning, is not very good at communicating with people.

After all, in normal times, the only people she needs to communicate with much are her parents.

For the teacher's question, those simple questions are not a problem for MEI at all, just answer them normally.

As for her classmates...

From MEI's response to Tian Shi's first few sentences, Mei's indifferent way of answering along with a cold temperament is very easy to kill the conversation.

So now, suddenly, wanting to talk to a stranger, MEI doesn't know what to say.

Of course, on the other hand, MEI has to absorb and digest what Tian Shi just said.

After all, an angel really appeared in front of her eyes, and also summarized some of his own characteristics.

If the current moment didn't allow it, MEI would want to take notes.

"May I ask, why did you choose me? Randomly? Or something else?"

"Probably destiny?"

Tian Shi thought for a moment and replied.

This is really a dishonest answer, but it is undoubtedly a good one too.

"Unconvincing but irrefutable reasons."

The elementary school girl in front of him sincerely expressed her feelings, to which Tian Shi could only smile bitterly, although MEI couldn't see Tian Shi.

"But then again, are you really a great scientist?"

"Although it's not good to say it, but if you compare yourself to your father as a standard, I can probably call it incredible."

Tian Shi made a somewhat crude and direct comparison, but obviously MEI didn't mind.

On the contrary, a trace of approval appeared on MEI's face.

"Although I don't want to admit it, if a scientist who has become an Angel said it, I think it's still convincing."

MEI explained very rationally.

"After all, the only known angel in the history of science is Dr. Tian, right?"

After learning of Tian Shi's identity as a great scientist, MEI's tone became much more respectful.

"At least I haven't seen a second of this type."

Tian Shi shrugged.

He had become a guardian angel by relying on the system, and if there are people of the same type, there will be more angels.

"I'm probably the kind of isolated case that has never been seen before, right?"

"But my matters will be set aside for the time being."

"What about something more important?"

"Something more important?"

After MEI heard Tian Shi's serious tone, her face became solemn.

There's another advantage to her being a third-grade elementary school student: with a little skill, he can mobilize MEI's emotions.

The current MEI is too far from the level where happiness and anger are not shown on her face.

Even MEI, a middle school student, showed a flattered expression on her face after being praised by Mobius at an academic seminar.

"Yes, there's something more important, like the world being on the brink of destruction or something?"

Although there's plenty of time now, for confrontation against the Honkai, there's nothing wrong with maintaining a tense attitude against time.

"Eh?"

This news is, indeed, very important news.

"The world is sliding to the brink of destruction?"

She couldn't believe it.

Although she is very indifferent to the outside world, she also knows that most parts of the world are peaceful and stable.

Now, suddenly, someone tells her that the world is on the brink of destruction?

If it weren't for the fact that the invisible Guardian Angel in front of her had already demonstrated his wisdom, MEI would not have believed such nonsense at all.

"In this regard, we have to start with an existence called 'Honkai'..."

Although it's cruel to tell such a thing to a third grader, it's inevitable.

The sooner she prepares, the less she will lose in the future.

"Ah, of course, you don't have to worry too much about this. "

"After all, I'm your Guardian Angel. "

"I'll remind you of the key things."

After a brief introduction to the existence of the "Honkai," MEI's face truly showed the emotion of "worry," which is the expression everyone will have upon learning about the Honkai.

"In this case, I still want to become a scientist."

MEI said very firmly.

"Even if Honkai becomes stronger with the development of civilization, I have to become a scientist; after all, even I know that I cannot simply sit and wait for death by suffocation."

It's hard to imagine a small third-grade girl saying such a thing.

This kind of mental toughness has already made many adults feel ashamed.

In MEI's opinion, this question is very simple.

It's nothing more than the difference between standing still and going all out.

The latter still has a chance at life; the former... Perhaps there's no other advantage than being "comfortable"?

"Dr. Tian, can you teach me the knowledge of fighting Honkai from now on?"

"I can."

For this request, Tian Shi agreed without thinking.

Now MEI's fighting spirit is exactly what Tian Shi wants her to have.

"Let's start by studying and understanding the university textbook you have in your hand."

"Understood, Dr. Tian."

MEI nodded.

[MEI compatibility +5%]

The child's compatibility is really good.

However, the time for worrying about compatibility has long passed, and now he pays more attention to the process and results.

As for compatibility...

To be honest, if compatibility wasn't related to the final score, Tian Shi really wouldn't care if it was lower.

"If there's something you can't do, just write it down in notes, and you can ask me for advice when you find time."

"Doctor, what do you mean...?"

"Besides you, I have chosen another person, and I will go see him."

"I see."

MEI nodded, indicating that she understood.

MEI and Kevin are not in the same school, and even now they are quite separated.

It wasn't until middle school that Kevin transferred to the "remote" Changkong City to go to school.

But speaking of that, looking at the quiet little loli who has re-entered the learning state, and thinking about the Kevin I saw at the beginning playing wildly on the playground...

I'm getting a bit of a headache.

Let's just pretend there's no one named Kevin in this simulation, can we?

—Just kidding.

Complaining is complaining, but Kevin can't be left alone.

After all, the current Kevin is still a very valuable piece of jade; if he's left alone, Tian Shi won't be able to live with it.

But...

When it comes to a hyperactive child like Kevin, the normal way of communication, like MEI and I used, is probably a bit difficult to use.

It seems I have to think of a move that is very useful for this kind of mischievous child, and I must be the first to take the initiative!
