Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

The officer snatched Lin Yu's phone and saved his number on it, saying, "If you need a car in the future, just contact me. I'll be there anytime."

The officer handed the phone back to Lin Yu, a twisted smile on his face. Finally, finally, he had a chance to get rid of those troublesome students. One by one, they were either feeling unwell or had some personal issues to resolve.

As an instructor, he had no choice but to stay here unless there was an emergency. With Lin Yu as an excuse, he could finally get rid of these brats for the time being.

The officers haven't had a break for a whole year, with no holidays or vacations whatsoever.

He was promoted quickly, going from lieutenant colonel to colonel in just one year. Before becoming an instructor, he was a major. As soon as he became an instructor, he went directly to lieutenant colonel, and after a year of working without a break at the recruit training ground, he became a colonel.

But life was tough. He couldn't afford a Land Rover, only a pink Jeep, and he had to put up with those brats all the time.

Twisted, every time I get home, I want to lie on the bed and twist into an earthworm, wrapped in a blanket and crawling around. I can't even sleep soundly. Every few days, those little bastards will call in the middle of the night to ask if I'm asleep.

Finally, finally, I found a chance to take a vacation, and with a legitimate reason! Himeko couldn't scold me; if Himeko did, I would just expose her little brother.

Without a family, there is no weakness. Sir has a younger sister in high school, but Himeko didn't have a family before.

Now she finally has a weakness, and we must exploit it.

Having caught Lin Yu, he would have plenty of time to go out for fresh air. Yes, fresh air, because staying on this recruit training ground made the officer feel like he was in prison all the time.

Lin Yu: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

“If you need anything in the future, just call me and I can take you there. Don’t stop other cars on the way. It’s not safe. Besides, every car you stop might have an important mission. In order to prevent those cars with important missions from being interrupted by you doing such trivial things, I’m going to sacrifice myself and endure humiliation to save my phone number in your phone. If you need anything, just contact me.”

Chapter 50 I'm not afraid of you

The officer's expression was serious, as if he were talking about something extremely important. His imposing expression made Lin Yu swallow hard and make a "gulp" sound.

The jeep slowly drove out of the recruit training ground, its leisurely pace more like an old car that had run out of gas than a jeep.

"Um, instructor, what's your training schedule this afternoon...?"

Is the afternoon training okay? Without you, the other recruits would probably start to slack off. Five minutes of training followed by two hours of rest is the norm.

As one of the most competitive members of the recruit training camp, no one understands the recruits' thoughts better than Hua.

The instructor took out his phone and dialed the assistant instructor's number, then sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it; after all, your side is clearly more important."

The call connected, and the officer casually raised his head and said, "Hey~, I have something to do this afternoon. I'm taking an important person to a place. The afternoon training is in your hands. What? What if they don't listen to you? What's the gun you're holding for? Shoot them in the legs first, and they'll obey immediately."

"You can't hit me? Nonsense. If you could hit me, why would I let you hit me? Those girls are easy to scare and they'll obey. I'm a woman too. How can you assume my gender? Alright, see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, the officer was in a very good mood.

Lin Yu was a little afraid to look at the scenery outside the window. He sat quietly in his seat, just like Hua, obedient and well-behaved.

Lin Yu was simply afraid of Hua, which is why he was a little nervous.

Officer: "Actually, I'm quite mild-mannered when I'm not working. I'm only fierce when I'm a coach because the students are so disobedient."

The officer nodded as he spoke, as if explaining to Lin Yu and Hua, but he didn't turn to look at them, as if he were talking to himself.

"I'm not afraid of you; this is the first time we've met."

Hua didn't speak, but Lin Yu coughed and spoke.

"Oh? Is that so? But this is the second time I've seen you. The last time I saw you in real life, you were sitting across from me, chatting happily. You just didn't notice me then."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Wait a minute, my eyesight should be pretty good. You didn't see me on the security camera, did you?

Officer: "Although I don't quite understand the thinking of you young people, if you want to find a partner, my advice is to have Hua quit training."

Joining the army means going to the battlefield, and going to the battlefield means getting hurt and dying.

If Hua wants to fall in love, he is not someone who can easily survive on the battlefield with his talent. Even if he survives the first few times by luck, there will always be a battle in the future that Hua cannot resist.

If Hua's talent were exceptional enough to allow him to advance to the point where he wouldn't have to directly confront Honkai Beasts or zombies in a short period of time, Sir would never have suggested such an idea.

“You’re Himeko’s underling, so I can’t possibly betray you. Have you ever thought about what would happen if Hua suddenly disappeared one day?”

The officer wasn't trying to break up the couple. It's definitely not because she hasn't been in a relationship yet that she thinks Lin Yu and Hua's relationship is heretical. She's only twenty-five and isn't in a hurry at all. She's exceptionally talented, and it's definitely not because she was rejected on a blind date after graduating from university with the excuse that "you want to join the army, I want to be a civil servant, we have different paths and can't work together" that she's saying this.

Lin Yu: "Hua won't die. She's always been very lucky, especially when it comes to surviving."

Lin Yu felt that Hua had used up all his luck on surviving, which was why he would be so unlucky in the future.

"Oh? So confident? I thought you'd think about it."

Is it really normal to support Hua's work without hesitation? Is this the thinking of an ordinary boy? That's the recruit training ground for the Fifth Detachment! She's joined the Fifth Detachment, aren't you afraid you won't see her again someday?

"And I will protect her."

Lin Yu seemed to think that simple trust wasn't enough for the officer to accept as a reason, so he added that he would protect her.

The officer remained noncommittal and did not offer any rebuttal, but he could already see Hua's moved expression in the rearview mirror.

You actually believe that a frail, sickly, and weak boy who is only 1.7 meters tall and weighs less than 120 pounds can protect you.

You're still too young. At most, Lin Yu, the son of a high-ranking official, might ask his older sister Himeko to help you a bit, and that's only if Himeko agrees.

Himeko has exceptional military command abilities. If there isn't a major Honkai outbreak, she might subtly suggest that Hua's teammates take better care of her. However, if an unexpected event occurs, even Himeko wouldn't risk sending her soldiers to their deaths to save you.

You wouldn't actually think that Lin Yu, a teenager with so much of his youth ahead of him, would personally accompany you to various battlefields to experience life and death, would you? No way, no way, no way, surely no one would actually think that way.

“If Hua goes to the battlefield, I can go with her. I’ve already spoken to Himeko, and she agreed.”

Lin Yu nodded as he spoke, "At least until she is capable of protecting herself."

Officer: "!?!"

ha?

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying? The battlefield is not child's play, and I will take it seriously. If you're lying to my student, I don't care who your sister is. Even if the King of Heaven himself comes, I'll beat him up."

Lin Yu pouted. The officer had lost his composure. Knowing that the officer would lose his composure, Lin Yu was no longer nervous at all. Losing composure meant being unsteady, and being unsteady meant being an idiot.

Although he didn't know why she broke down, Lin Yu wouldn't lie about such a small matter.

Officer: "Have you ever seen a dead person? Crimson blood-stained curtains flutter in the wind in the deserted alley, and countless assassins wander the streets without any sign of life."

"The city was silent and desolate, making people lose their way. Walking on that land, all that could be felt was despair. The streetlights were dim, the sunset was dark red, and the roars of the Honkai Beasts were as long as broken bellows. That was the battlefield that the Fifth Division had been about to arrive at countless times."

A young person like you must be well protected by Himeko. You might not even have seen a Honkai Beast, let alone a zombie.

The real battlefield is not where heroes arrive, but where the stench of death permeates everything, and nothing can help you except luck and past training.

Chapter 51 We Can't Wear Children's Clothes

Lin Yu remained silent. The officer's words reminded him of the day he saw Hua in Canghai City.

Under the dim streetlights, Hua squatted behind the trash can like a frightened child, completely different from the immortal from the divine land he remembered.

Lin Yu saved her.

Hua also thought back to the day she first met Lin Yu a month ago. The officer's words were so vivid: the image of Lin Yu holding her and lifting her up, and her first words were something that she still felt ashamed to think about now: Where did you buy your sword and clothes...?

“Any random assassin can easily tear a car apart. Humans are like mud in their hands. Honkai Beasts are even more terrifying. Even the weakest Rush-class Honkai Beast is something that ordinary rockets cannot kill. They can flap their wings and fly into concrete buildings, causing huge damage.”

"They are so terrifying that even a veteran soldier in the detachment has to be cautious when encountering them alone; they are extremely dangerous."

"You have to understand that if a single assassin or Honkai Beast is like this, then war is about the strength of countless assassins and countless Honkai Beasts. In that situation, even the soldiers of the squad can only hope to complete their mission. Barely being able to protect themselves and hold the line is the best outcome for them."

"If Hua successfully joins the Fifth Squad, do you think you'll personally protect her? If you see a suicide squad, you'll probably be so scared that you'll hide behind Hua. Wake up, kid, you're the one who needs protection."

Lin Yu: "...I've seen assassins and Honkai Beasts."

Although the officer spoke in a very tactful way and was advising Lin Yu to see reality clearly, Lin Yu felt as if she thought what he said was ridiculous.

Officer: "All you've seen are dead, right?"

himeko must have shown Lin Yu the corpses of assassins or Honkai Beasts, Sir thought to himself.

Lin Yu shook his head. "They were alive before they touched my sword."

Although I don't know how strong I am right now, I feel like I'm pretty strong.

The fifth squad should be dealing with a large-scale Honkai Beast horde, the kind that is relatively weak but has a huge number of Honkai Beasts.

The Australian army was dealing with groups of suicide soldiers, while the Fifth Squad, which was led by Himeko himself, was fighting elite-level Honkai Beasts, similar to or higher than the Overseer-level Honkai Beasts.

If it were just a group of weaklings, Lin Yu felt he could still fight them.

After all, it's all about meeting instantly.

Have you ever killed assassins or Honkai Beasts?

The officer's gaze changed slightly; the initial disdain for the child lessened a bit, at least the contempt in his eyes was gone.

"I came from Changkong City. I traveled from Changkong City to Canghai City and then encountered the Honkai outbreak. I saved Hua from the Honkai Beasts' attack and then went to Changkong City alone to find my friend. I couldn't find him, so I left Changkong City with my friend's mother."

Lin Yu really enjoyed watching the officer's changing expressions, from disdain to bewilderment to shock, as if she had witnessed something unacceptable. He found it particularly amusing.

Lin Yu crossed his legs, holding a self-heating bottle of mineral water he had taken from next to the car seat, and smiled quietly at the police officer.

Hua nodded quickly, "Yes, Lin Yu saved me. He cut that rush-class Honkai Beast in half with one sword, and then went to Changkong City alone."

Officer: "...If you really did escape from Changkong City alone, taking your friend's mother with you, then I apologize to you."

You're frail and sickly, aren't you? Your profile just now says you're frail and sickly, please take good care of you, and it's even in bold font, written by himeko herself.

Moreover, Lin Yu's voice sounded so weak, and his gait was somewhat unsteady, making him seem completely unlike someone who could fight a Honkai Beast. However, in Lin Yu's eyes, the officer saw calmness and composure. He had indeed walked through the battlefield alone and returned alive.

Lin Yu took a sip of water. "There's nothing to apologize for. If an ordinary teenage boy who looks like he has no power at all told me that he survived the Honkai outbreak and the city where the Herrscher was born, I wouldn't believe it either. I would just think he's having a fit of chuunibyou."

"I still have some power. At least, those below the rank of warlord don't need to worry about my safety. And I will protect Hua, and by the way, protect some ordinary people as well."

"Then why didn't you join the Fifth Squad to deal with those elite Honkai Beasts?"

Although the Fifth Squad has participated in fewer battles, every battle they have participated in has been extremely difficult. The boy possesses great strength; wouldn't it be better for him to join the Fifth Squad?

"Ah, I'm frail and sickly. Himeko was afraid I'd die, so I had to beg Himeko for a long time before I could even go on an attack with Hua."

Lin Yu pointed to the kangaroos grazing in front of the car, and the officer quickly turned the car around, almost hitting them.

The two chatted for a while and ended up talking about the original topic again, leaving the police officer speechless.

Hua stepped in at this crucial moment, changing the subject so the three of them started talking about topics that serious young people should discuss.

The bumpy ride didn't take long; in less than half an hour, we entered a city that looked quite developed.

During the break, just as the officer had said, her personality wasn't as irritable as it was on the training field; instead, she was quite funny.
