Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

There was no standard training duration, but they independently planned an eight-hour training system. As a Chinese, Hua naturally did not follow it and instead became more involved, training for ten hours every day, not including lunch break.

So whether it's after get off work or at noon, if Lin Yu comes over, he'll only see one person on the training field: Hua.

Picking a leaf from the green plant next to the chair, Lin Yu rubbed the leaf and smiled, "You joined the Fifth Squad just to save others; your ideological awareness is quite high."

"And what about you? Why did you join the Fifth Squad?"

If it wasn't to save others, why did you join the Fifth Squad?

Lin Yu asked curiously, "Huh? When did I join the fifth squad?"

A question mark popped up on Hua's head; her brain short-circuited.

"If you didn't join the Fifth Squad, why are you living next to Himeko? And, and you're so strong... weren't you invited to join by Himeko?"

Lin Yu: "......."

Lin Yu paused for a moment, then laughed, a silent laugh, like someone who had heard the funniest joke in the world, laughing out loud but unable to make a sound.

"So, you've come to see me as an invited warrior, someone who's there to protect the other warriors who go out to fight every day?"

I'm so happy! I've been resting for a whole month. I'm a family member, a family member who doesn't have to fight.

Moreover, Himeko never assigns me any missions. She's afraid I'll die on the way if I go on a long journey, let alone let me go into battle. I want to fight and test my fighting ability, but I can't escape Himeko's eyes and ears.

"Isn't it...?"

Hua blinked her eyes, staring wide-eyed in bewilderment like a dove.

"I am a family member."

"Home, family?"

"Yes, I am a family member of Himeko, at least that's how it's recorded in the military records on both the Chinese and Australian sides."

Lin Yu swiped open the virtual screen on the training field, pressed his fingerprint and then scanned his pupils to log in, showing Hua his identity.

"See? I'm a family member."

Hua weakly pointed to the name on the virtual screen, "...It shows that you are a guest account."

Lin Yu's awkward smile froze as he looked down, and he looked up in bewilderment.

"Name: Tourist account 1008610010, Identity: Himeko's family member."

Lin Yu: "Wait, where's my name?"

hua: "It might be a bug. It removed the name card, but fingerprint and iris login can still show your identity."

Hua changed the subject. If they kept talking about this topic, Lin Yu would probably go back to Himeko to deal with the account issue in less than two minutes, and then she would only be able to talk to him for two minutes.

Changing the subject would allow Lin Yu to stay longer.

"With your strength, how come you're just a military dependent? I thought you'd hold an important position in the Fifth Squad."

Lin Yu looked up at the sky. "She probably thinks I'm still a child."

It's just a bug with the name, it's not important. I'll ask about it when I get back.

"Is your body... very weak, unable to fight for a long time?"

If Lin Yu wasn't allowed to fight, Hua immediately thought of this answer.

Yes, whether it was when Lin Yu saved her before or now, his body looks extremely pale and weak. His legs would shake if he stood for a long time. The last time Lin Yu came to see her, he left before she finished a set of training. Hua vaguely saw Lin Yu vomiting blood.

Hua had previously thought that Lin Yu was a core member of the Fifth Squad who had suffered internal injuries while on a mission, but now that Hua knew that Lin Yu was not a member of the Fifth Squad, the only remaining explanation was that Lin Yu's body was inherently weak.

Lin Yu: "I can fight, but Himeko obviously doesn't think so. In her eyes, it's as if I won't live long. She won't let me go too far, nor will she let me leave the military headquarters."

Lin Yu tapped the table lightly as he pondered, "I really want to explain it to her, but it's clear that my physical condition is still too deeply ingrained in people's minds."

Half a month ago, Lin Yu told Himeko that he wanted to join the Fifth Squad to fight against the Honkai Beasts. Himeko was somewhat tempted. That was the first time Himeko hesitated. Before that, she had always refused decisively. Lin Yu was excited. Could it be that I can finally make my move?

However... in a moment of excitement, Lin Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood on the table.

Well, then he was sent to the hospital for a blood transfusion, and Lin Yu's plan to launch an attack was thus shattered.

There was no way to explain it to Himeko, but Lin Yu understood. After all, if a little girl was coughing up blood and trembling, looking at him with unwavering eyes and saying that she was going to kill a Honkai Beast, Lin Yu's first thought would probably be, "Go to the hospital first, don't die in my house."

Lin Yu already felt he had gotten a great deal from Himeko's care, and he couldn't bring himself to ask Himeko for anything in return.

"I just wanted to test my strength and see what level of Honkai Beast I could fight."

As it stands, I could kill a tank-class Honkai Beast with a single sword strike.

However, Lin Yu didn't know what the limit was. He wanted to go with the team to see what his limit was, and then he would know how strong a Honkai Beast he could fight when he made his move.

"You are already very strong. In my opinion, I could never kill a Honkai Beast as easily as you did."

A three-to-five-meter-tall Honkai Beast of the Assault Class can be cleaved in two with a single sword strike, and with remarkable ease. The friends I made at the recruit training ground all learned about the strength of the Assault Class Honkai Beast's body from their words.

Even a rocket launcher might not be able to injure him, yet Lin Yu cleaved him in two with a single blow from a heavy sword.

It was because of that sword strike that Hua fell in love with Lin Yu at first sight. The image of him wearing ancient costume, covered in blood, slaying a giant monster with a single sword strike in a small alley of the metropolis, and then pulling her into his arms was an image Hua would never forget.

Hua: "Are you just testing your own strength? Don't you have any goals in this chaotic world?"

You shouldn't be so docile at your age. At least think about saving the world, piloting a Gundam, or becoming a world-destroying demon king. People your age can use a stick as a White Emperor's Holy Sword. With your great strength, how could you not have dreams?

Hua clapped her hands, startling Lin Yu out of his reverie. Hua said, "With such great strength, why don't you go save the world and instead hide in the military as a family member who can't do anything?"

Lin Yu hesitated for a second before slowly saying, "I just want to live, to live to the end."

At this moment, Lin Yu, who had been hesitant, mustered all his courage.

The seemingly gentle and weak little boy can really make all girls feel a desire to help him.

"If you don't have a goal, then be like me. We can save those who need to be saved, protect those around us, and destroy the Honkai."

Saying these words made Hua blush; she felt a little embarrassed.

No, what am I thinking? Wouldn't I be embarrassed if Lin Yu refused now?

Why did I suddenly say something so childish? Am I going through a rebellious phase too?

Sixteen-year-old Hua's sincere eyes held a hint of hesitation, yet she still mustered her courage, which made Lin Yu tighten his grip on her hand.

"Alright, it's a deal then. Anyway, I don't know what to do right now, so let's do as you say: save humanity, protect the people around us, and then destroy the Honkai."

Hua breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Lin Yu hadn't refused.

"When the war ends, we'll probably find it a little funny when we think about how two sixteen-year-old boys and girls made a pact to save the world today."

Hua said somewhat embarrassedly, but did not let go of Lin Yu's hand.

Lin Yu: "Perhaps we will feel gratified, but I firmly believe that your name will be on the list of those who will eliminate the Honkai in the future."

What's so funny? These are some of my fondest memories from my childhood.

Chapter 40 For example, when you came

Drinking milk tea made Lin Yu feel refreshed; today was the best day Lin Yu had since arriving in Australia.

Hua stood quietly and obediently in front of Lin Yu, watching him.

To be honest, spending most of the time with a well-behaved girl like Hua is boring.

Lin Yu didn't know if this kind of ordinary daily life, without any ups and downs, was a good or bad thing, but sitting in front of Hua and looking at her was quite comfortable.

"So what's our first step? Should we sneak out and do a few missions, and save a few people?"

Lin Yu said eagerly.

Hua quickly made a gesture to stop her, "It's not time to work yet. I need to wait until I can fight Honkai Beasts before I can participate in missions. I haven't met the standard yet."

Hua is now even worse than a new recruit. Although she has been training on the recruit training ground for a month, she is still inferior to the most ordinary soldiers who have been in the army for two years.

However, this is normal. After all, Hua is only sixteen years old, and just a month ago she was a student who liked to travel on a budget. Now that she has suddenly started training, how could she possibly compare to the soldiers outside?

If Hua can see a Honkai Beast without his hands shaking, he's already ahead of 99% of his peers.

"So you're going to try your best to meet the standards? The standards for the Moth Chaser are very difficult, aren't they?"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Hua scratched his face awkwardly, "That's right, I can kill more than ten assassins by myself in the simulation training, not just with light and hot weapons, but those assassins are too coordinated. I always get ambushed. The instructor said I'm too dull and not really suitable to join the Fifth Detachment."

Lin Yu nodded as if he understood, "So, you lack the results of actual combat exercises, which is why you can't go on missions, right?"

Hua nodded quickly. Her slightly chubby face made her look a little dazed, and what the instructor said might not be a lie.

"Ten assassins are easy, right? They're not like Honkai Beasts. Those things are weak and can be dealt with if you're a little careful. But if you can't even handle ten assassins, maybe the instructor is doing this for your own good by not letting you participate in actual combat."

No way, no way, no way, it's impossible that a warrior like Yingjie couldn't even handle ten assassins when he joined the Fire Moth.

Lin Yu put it tactfully, and Hua gave a dry laugh, "Ha, maybe I'm just too weak. Um... Lin Yu, what did you usually do every day when you stayed at Himeko's place?"

Hua changed the subject; they couldn't continue the conversation, or they'd probably feel even more awkward.

However, the topic that Hua wanted to know the most was what Lin Yu did on a daily basis.

"Well... basically, I don't do anything. I just wander around the Himeko office building every day, watching the clerical staff discuss which Honkai energy data is wrong, and then watching them send the Fifth Division to deal with it."

"I'm so bored every day that I've started cleaning for Himeko. I've also learned some recipes to cook for her when she comes home. In the evenings, I just rest because I get really sleepy every night."

Lin Yu explained that it's abnormal for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old to have no nightlife at all. Normally, sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers, without anyone interfering, would either play games at night, or spend a lot of time online or chatting. If they didn't stay up until one or two in the morning, they would be embarrassed to call themselves young.

Hua: "What a coincidence, I've also learned some cooking, and I go to bed early at night."

"really?"

Hua nodded quickly, then looked a little disappointed. "Well, I've been training for so long every day lately that I haven't cooked a meal. I can fry eggs, make egg pancakes, egg noodles, and egg fried rice."

"Why is everything related to eggs?"

A meal consisting entirely of eggs? It's not illegal, but it's still quite strange, isn't it?

"My mom loves to cook eggs, so I learned how to do it after being influenced by her."

Hua unconsciously stirred the coconut jelly in her milk tea cup with the straw. "Plus, the training time is very long every day, and I'm very tired when I get back to the dormitory. I just take a shower and go straight to sleep."

"You're just an ordinary person, there's no need for you to work so hard. It's best to give yourself some rest time."

Hua's behavior reminded Lin Yu of involution, but involution requires at least two people, right? If it's just one person, can it still be called involution?

"I kept it."

Hua retorted.
