To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

[It's a pity. If I had just coaxed her a little more, pleaded with her a bit more, and softened my tone, this breakdown would have been a perfect disaster. Don't you know how to comfort a child? Maybe the headmistress is better at it? After all, she's a child herself...]

"That idiot Kiana only shines like that in games." Bronya decided to shatter Kiana's arrogant smile.

And what about herself... It's almost the end, why isn't she showing some backbone and joining in the fight against the boss? Usually in games, by the end, only her character is left, but here it's the other way around? No way, she should participate a little more, Bronya bit her lip.

"Wow, Kiana's words are very well said; they comforted Hua's heart," Alicia said approvingly, looking at Kiana.

"Kiana, keep up the good work! I believe you can do just as well in real life," Mei encouraged Kiana, sounding somewhat pleased.

"Haha, I'm sorry Xiaoshi, but I looked so cool just now!"

"Hey, you—you're asking for it!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge and Kiana were playfully shoving each other around.

Fu Hua closed her eyes slightly, pondering how she would comfort the other person if she were in that situation.

...

"...Hmm?" A question mark appeared above Celine's head, and she blinked, her eyes filled with confusion.

That was... said by her younger sister?

If you had used even a few sentences in your essay, you wouldn't have ended up writing so many disparate pieces that it felt like a daily diary.

Surprisingly... that makes sense; in any case, she couldn't think of a suitable rebuttal from the opposing side.

"I see now, both you and Kiana are hiding your true abilities!"

Cecilia exclaimed, "They all speak with reason and insight, and you can't tell they have bad grades at all!"

Kiana's debating skills in the game were quite impressive. I never expected my silly girl to have the verbal sparring ability that a protagonist should have. She always thought that the other person never thought before speaking.

Even though she hasn't skipped class recently and has been training diligently, Cecilia only considers her as someone who can become a qualified Valkyrie.

"I really don't know how, please stop pressuring me, Mom. It's obviously all the work of those damn screenwriters,"

Cecilia said sweetly, pressing her chest against Cecilia's arm and resting her head on Cecilia's arm, trying to stay close.

"That also shows that you two have great potential. Kiana's assessment is quite accurate. You should learn from her."

Cecilia smiled, stroked Sirin's hair, and comforted her.

...

"Fine, if you want to fight, then fight! I'm ready to fight to the bitter end!"

Seeing the stubborn look in the other person's eyes, the Lawbringer felt his anger surge even higher.

What are you guys doing? You want to get that feather back, steal her body, and even expect her to willingly provide energy to that imposter? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Along with her voice, the world began to bend and twist, becoming a gigantic vortex. Streaks of light shot out from within, flying towards the Herrscher.

"Kiana, you old fogey, since you two are so stubborn, don't blame me for getting serious."

"I am kind to my friends, but I never show mercy to my enemies."

"This is the complete Crimson Falcon, the complete Fu Hua—the complete me!"

"The Herrscher of Knowledge spoke coldly," she said, as countless black feathers covered her clothes, instantly changing her appearance and overturning the attire she wore when impersonating Fu Hua.

The dazzling red light from the gem in the center of her forehead shone brightly, and the bewitching red light in her eyes was exceptionally bright. Three blades floated in mid-air around her, and she looked at the two people opposite her with a somewhat morbid smile.

Well, it's best to fight!

Now that's settled, let's have a match!

Whether it was an illusion or a powerful force,

The clouds in the sky were swirled into patches by the wind, blurring the view to a slightly reddish hue, indicating that this was no longer a normal, tangible space.

A stone platform appeared out of thin air, suspended in mid-air, surrounded by countless enormous stone swords that seemed to reach straight to the sky, their blades piercing the clouds.

Countless enormous chains hung down from the sword, as if locking away a portion of her power.

The confident voice of the one who understands the law rang out.

"Since my resurrection, I have never been defeated."

"Hmph... Kiana, how do you think you compare to Otto, Kevin, and Durandal?"

"fool!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge gestured and closed one eye, preparing to formally test her skills against Kiana.

Chapter 143 This is my mission + 3/4

Battle is imminent.

The person who consistently identified himself as Hua (?) in the game has officially changed his name to Herrscher of Knowledge.

After a few simple exchanges, it was merely a warm-up and a probing exercise.

"Alright, Kiana, I value fairness above all else. If you use a gun, I'll use a gun too. I want you to accept your defeat convincingly!"

As she spoke, the Herrscher of Knowledge stretched out her hand to the side, and a long spear appeared in her palm at the opportune moment.

As soon as he got his hands on it, he brandished it and charged forward, unleashing a powerful dance routine that mimicked the moves he remembered.

"This is a long-handled..." Kiana pursed her lips, looking at the other person's gun.

"They're all guns anyway!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge pressed forward, his spear hurtling straight at Kiana with the force of a thousand pounds. Kiana dodged immediately, looking somewhat disheveled amidst the dust and smoke.

On the other hand, the Herald of Knowledge was quite adept at wielding his weapon, responding to Kiana's counterattacks with ease.

He strolled leisurely, dodging Kiana's attacks with unhurried ease, and then seized the opportunity to deliver a powerful blow to Kiana.

He even had time to mock and provoke Kiana.

"Is that all you've got, Kiana?"

"What? You think I can let you go if you surrender now..."

"Now, be careful!"

As darkness descended upon the battlefield, the figure of the Herrscher of Knowledge vanished, replaced by several red phantoms speaking simultaneously.

"Come on, Kiana, guess which one is me?"

All the phantoms attack simultaneously, making it even harder to distinguish the real one while dodging.

[Has Xiao Shi become careless? Is he already toying with the other party?]

[What should I do? It feels like the ending is already set. Wait, are they going to start killing people?]

Even after the fight started, Xiao Shi didn't initially consider them opponents. They were a pretty good bunch... ugh, a pretty good rule-breaker.

[Haha, Fu Hua's chapter is also coming to an end. She's not part of the main cast anymore, more like an elder or even a teacher... Why does it feel like her buffs are about to be maxed out?]

"Haha--- They're all guns, just long-handled ones. You're really something, Xiao Shi."

Alicia covered her mouth and chuckled, and the others couldn't help but smile at the sight.

This Herrscher of Knowledge is indeed just like a child, only caring about his own emotions and preferences, and even with Hua's memories, he lacks any sense of importance for battle.

"By the way, why do you keep mentioning Kevin?" Fu Hua asked curiously.

"Doesn't everyone assume that Kevin is the strongest from the previous civilization? Durandal is from the current civilization, so if I successfully challenge both of them, wouldn't I be the strongest in the world?"

The person who understood the law spoke with conviction, and she felt that what she said made a lot of sense.

Even if it's not considered a success, finishing in a tie for first place isn't bad.

Then, glancing at Kevin, she added that he was indeed quite strong, and that time it was just a friendly spar, so she couldn't really gauge his abilities. "Never mind, it's better not to be so definitive; let's give him some face."

"..." Kevin remained unmoved; this was the most bizarre reason he had ever heard to challenge him.

"Uh... is being number one really that important?" Fu Hua asked after a moment of silence.

"Of course, if I get first place, I can definitely do whatever I want freely, and I think I can even try to surpass Kevin and become the World Serpent Lord."

The one who understands the laws speaks frankly, making no attempt to conceal his thoughts.

“You can give it a try…” Kevin said briefly.

"Tsk, tried it, it's a 50/50 chance. Adding other people, it probably won't work." The Herrscher of Knowledge shook her head seriously.

...

Kiana used her Herrscher of the Void powers to suddenly dash forward, shattering the opponent's spear and sliding backward a distance.

"Hehe—" The Herrscher of Knowledge quickly stood up, her body emitting a black and red light, symbolizing that she was beginning to fully utilize her power. She gazed at Kiana with a serene expression.

He kicked off the ground and threw a punch at Kiana, who was getting angry and was about to get serious.

Using spatial powers, a black hole was created, instantly dodging the attack.

This time, Kiana had no choice but to leave the stone platform and go up to the chains, where she looked at the conspicuous figure from afar.

She rushed towards the figure, determined to defeat him for the sake of her class monitor!

Countless blades flew past above or directly in front of the chains, their speed so fast that the wind they stirred could ruffle Kiana's hair. She became even more focused and tense.

Kiana either dodge or shoot them away; she swiftly ran towards the opponent along the chains.

Outside the game, it has become a parkour game, and Luo Mo has added difficulty options accordingly.

"Idiot Kiana, Bronya can't stand it anymore. If you were put in the game, you'd die in this battle sooner or later."

Bronya couldn't stand Kiana's abysmal gameplay with the controller, and yet she dared to snatch it from everyone, even though her reasons were quite reasonable.

--Hey, of course I'll control myself! I'm sure I can beat Xiao Shi!

So, Bronya tried to lend Kiana a hand. By the way, wasn't the other side embarrassed seeing Kiana taking sword strikes head-on every time in the game?

"Oh, okay, okay, I'm just not very good at this kind of game." Kiana blushed slightly, but only for a moment.

Thinking that she could easily beat the game, he assumed that he would have even less trouble in real life, and under their encouragement, he directly chose the highest difficulty level.

To paraphrase the Herrscher of Knowledge, how could choosing the easy difficulty level demonstrate her strength? Therefore, Kiana awkwardly discovered that while her opponent was indeed powerful, her own skill level was insufficient...

"Tsk, I'll do it. As expected, only I can defeat myself!"

As if finding some solace, the Herald spoke.
