A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

The stigmata on Yae Rin's hand... isn't it a replica of the stigmata he saw engraved on Lynn Maki's right hand yesterday?!

"I probably understand."

"Maggie! Are you there?!"

After shouting at Lin's room, Gu Yu immediately heard the girl's complaints.

"I've already told you, just call me Lin! Mr. Gu Yu, you're always so formal!"

Slightly annoyed, Lin walked out of the room and stared blankly at Yae Rin, whom she had never met before.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yae Rin looked at Lin Maki and was immediately attracted to her as well.

It wasn't because of his appearance. Although the two women thought the stranger in front of them was indeed good-looking, that alone wasn't enough for them to look directly into each other's eyes.

As if drawn by some force, Lynn Magee raised her right hand, while Yae Rin shakily raised her left hand.

"Um, this lady..."

"This little girl..."

What is your name?

"My name is Lynn Magee, you can just call me Lynn."

"My name is Yae Rin, you can just call me Rin, big sister."

After introducing themselves, Yae Rin and Lin Maki were immediately embarrassed.

The two people's names are pronounced the same, so it's very easy to get them mixed up if they use nicknames in daily life.

"Let's put the self-introduction aside for now."

Seemingly noticing the awkwardness between the two, Gu Yu picked up a glass and handed it to Lin.

“Maki—don’t wait for me like this, you two are too easy to get confused.”

"Try it, release the power from your Stigmata onto this water glass and see what happens. Just a little bit, don't do anything reckless."

"I see."

After seeing the water glass, Lin focused her attention on the Stigmata, and then...

A wisp of black mist floated up near her right hand, instantly swallowing part of the water glass.

Although the black mist dissipated in the next second, Gu Yu was certain that this was part of the Herrscher of Death's power, [Disintegration].

"Then it's Yae, and you too. Try using a stigmata on this water glass."

After hearing Gu Yu's words, Yae Rin nodded and followed suit, focusing her attention on the stigmata and pointing her left hand at the water glass.

Then—the water glass that had just been partially disassembled was instantly restored by Rin's ability.

"Power [Creation]... I think I understand now."

Looking at the water glass that had been restored to its original state, Gu Yu finally figured out what had probably happened.

Yae Sakura said that Yae Rin had been overexerting herself lately, and then Yae Rin immediately restored her physical body.

When Lin Maki's body was corrupted by the Herrscher of Death's decomposition Honkai energy, she directly awakened this Stigmata, which possessed a small portion of the Herrscher of Death's power, upon contact with it.

Considering recent events, the sequence of events is roughly as follows.

After being forced to work overtime, Gu Yu sealed a portion of the Herrscher of Death's essence.

This source flowed into Yae Rin's body by manipulating the space between the cards, granting her the power of creation.

Since Yae Rin already possesses a soul, the Herrscher of Death's negative effect of only restoring the body and not the soul when reviving others naturally has no effect on her.

After unconsciously repairing her body, Yae Rin has naturally become more energetic lately—of course, she's alive now, and living people are naturally more energetic than dead people.

Meanwhile, after the original source of creation flowed into Yae Rin's body, the remaining power of decomposition naturally flowed into the body of this girl who had been corrupted by the Herrscher of Death's Honkai energy after Lin Maki and Gu Yu came into close contact.

Then, Gu Yu was surprised to find that the source of his headache, the Herrscher of Death, had been resolved.

His two roommates instantly received an epic-level enhancement.

"This is really enough. This dormitory feels more and more dangerous."

Gu Yu looked at the two of them, rubbing her forehead as if she had a slight headache, and said.

"Yae, if you can move around like a living person, I won't stop you from going out and about."

"Maggie, it's up to you how you want to act."

"But I have two requests for you two—wear gloves and don't misuse your power."

"If that bastard Otto finds out that the two of you have the power of the Herrscher of Death, this old dog will probably be restless."

"understood."

After saying those words at the same time, the two girls simultaneously sensed a strange sense of tacit understanding between each other.

After seeing the two skipping and jumping to the side to start exchanging affection, Gu Yu felt that things around her were getting increasingly strange.

Of all the girls in the dorm, he figured out that Himeko Murata was the most normal, both mentally and physically.

Then, Headmistress Theresa was responsible for training Kiana and Mei, and all the paperwork fell to Himeko.

"Wow, no wonder Sister Himeko looked so reluctant when she went out today."

Recalling Himeko's expression when she left home today, Gu Yu suddenly shivered for some reason.

No, something's not right. After ROS is resolved, according to the original storyline, I should be able to rest for at least a month or two...

"What's wrong, Mr. Gu Yu?"

Seeing the same exhaustion on Gu Yu's face as Himeko's, Yae Sakura asked in confusion.

Didn't you get enough rest yesterday?

"No, it's nothing."

I only had one day of rest, they can't possibly open a new instance for me right now...

It shouldn't be... right?

PS1: First update. Regarding the bounty, I want to emphasize again: please do what you can afford, don't force yourself, really don't force yourself.

It's definitely not that I chickened out.

Absolutely not!

PS2: I'm going all out! Let's continue with three updates today.

Chapter 119. They gave up thinking.

Tianming Far East Branch - Office of the Person in Charge

In Theresa's office, Himeko Murata looked at the mountain of documents in front of her and slumped helplessly onto the desk.

"Theresa has changed so much... but she hasn't changed at all when it comes to shifting blame!"

After venting her frustration by roaring at the table, Himeko looked at Theresa's photo on the table.

In the photo, Theresa and a silver-haired woman are smiling happily.

The woman was holding a two-year-old girl in her arms.

Himeko already knew from Theresa's words that this was Theresa's deceased friend, Cecilia Schariac.

"Ha... an S-rank Valkyrie."

Looking at her right hand, Himeko said nostalgically.

"That used to be my goal too. But I've given up on it now."

"After injecting that stuff, my strength almost dropped below A-level. Why should I think about it so much?"

After Himeko gave the HSN-b46 serum to Theresa, Theresa told Himeko a few days later that the drug trial was successful.

Although Himeko didn't learn from Theresa who injected the diluted serum, she thought, "Anyway, this guy won't cheat me," and began injecting the diluted serum in stages.

Then, during a recent medical check-up, Himeko discovered that her body, which had been ravaged by Honkai energy due to artificial stigma experiments, had actually been repaired by this serum.

If Theresa hadn't coldly told her that "her condition is unstable and needs further observation," Himeko would have almost asked for leave on the spot to go out and have a three-day, three-night trip.

After the medical examination report came out, according to the data analysis conducted by the medical staff, Himeko Murata's strength as a Valkyrie had indeed decreased significantly.

However, in return, her life, which was originally on the verge of ending, was significantly extended.

Even if I don't live to be seventy or eighty, as long as I don't mess around, it's perfectly fine to live another ten or twenty years.

If it weren't for her already fading image, Himeko would have loved to protect Theresa and shout "Yay!"

Then, the next day, Himeko discovered that she had been given a new mission.

Theresa is always running off somewhere, and she's the one who has to handle all the documents for the Far East branch!

Despite her resentment, Himeko had observed Theresa's office during the time Theresa was frequently disappearing.

Inside an empty bookshelf, there was a copy of the Houmu comic that Theresa had originally hidden away.

When Himeko gently brushed her hand across the comics, she noticed a few specks of dust on them.

Considering Theresa's previous announcement to increase the difficulty of the A-rank Valkyrie assessment, Himeko knew that Theresa had been incredibly busy lately.

I'm so busy that I don't even have time to read the Houmu comics, which is really unusual!

"No, I have to think of a way."

"I'm fine with dying from overwork, but I really hope that Theresa doesn't collapse from exhaustion at a time like this."

"She is the foundation of St. Freya Academy. If she falls, the academy will be finished."

………………

Several days later, the headquarters of Destiny

Inside the headquarters of Destiny, Otto listened to Amber's reports over the past few days, feeling his hands trembling.
