Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

"When we came back, Bella discovered that she had accidentally lost her student ID. Will we be tracked down because of this?" "We are not afraid of Destiny and Anti-Entropy, let alone the local security forces in the Far East?" Hearing this, Fu You laughed dumbly and shook his head slightly.

"Have Bella ask that principal to apply for a new one tomorrow. As for any trouble that may arise, just leave it to me."

Chapter 103 Bully

The next morning, Fu You kept his promise and arrived at Kiana's bedroom door early.

"Hurry up and get up. Today will be your first day at Qianyu Academy."

Looking at Kiana who was still lying in bed, Fu You spoke slowly.

"Well... can I not go to school?" A lazy voice came from the quilt. Kiana squirmed on the bed and buried herself in the quilt.

"Of course not, Kiana. You are at the age where you should study hard. How can you sleep?" Shaking his head, Fu You once again shattered Kiana's hope.

"Xilin and Bella have arrived a long time ago. I have given you one class period's grace. Just be happy."

Last night, after Xilin and Bella came back, he introduced Kiana to them. Seeing Xilin's complicated expression when she looked at Kiana, Fu You felt that Cecilia's dream from more than ten years ago seemed to have had a profound impact on the child.

"Then why don't Aurora, Agata, and Galina go to school..." "I have another very important arrangement for them, and it's much more important than going to school."

Kiana tried to struggle, but Fu You didn't give her any chance.

"Hurry up and go. Today is your first day of registration. Remember to behave well."

"Ahhh... Fuyou, I hate you so much!" Seeing that she couldn't escape, Kiana went crazy.

"Phew... finally here."

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the class number in front of her. However, after entering, she saw a group of girls surrounding a purple-haired girl and teasing her wantonly.

"Hey, Miss."

A girl suddenly grabbed Mei's long purple hair, which had fallen across her shoulders, and forcibly lifted her face. Tears still clung to Mei's pale cheeks, and the tips of her hair were stained with ink from the spilled ink bottle, creating a large stain across her light purple strands. Bella had invited Celine to a walk around campus, but Mei chose not to go, giving the bullies another opportunity.

"Look at our eldest daughter. It turns out she can cry too."

The bullies around laughed, and the girl in the lead played with Raiden Mei's cheek and spoke jokingly.

"As soon as Xilin and Bella arrived here, you already established connections with them. I never thought that the usually unsympathetic Thunder Queen would also have a sycophantic side."

"That's not the case..." Mei Raiden felt extremely wronged, but faced with this bullying, she chose to swallow her anger. The moment she saw the purple-haired girl being bullied, Kiana's heart was moved - although she didn't know why, she immediately chose to stand up.

"Hey! Don't push your luck!" "Newcomer, let me advise you not to meddle in other people's business!" After glancing coldly at Kiana, the leading bully looked at Mei Raiden and sneered.

"You don't think you are still the young lady from the past, do you? The daughter of a fraudster?" "No... Dad, Dad was framed!" Raiden Mei raised her head stubbornly, tears gathered in her eyes, and whispered, her eyes lacking some spirit.

"You guys... are going too far..." At the same time, a strange feeling welled up in Mei's heart, and she could barely suppress the stirrings deep within her heart. It seemed as if she was about to tear these despicable creatures to pieces in the next moment.

"Hey! This is just some trivial matter that I won't take care of!" Kiana stood fearlessly in front of Mei Raiden, stretched out her hand to her, and said softly.

"It's okay, I will protect you!" Looking at the hand extended by the strange white-haired girl in front of her, Mei Raiden was slightly dazed and involuntarily pulled the other's hand.

"You really take yourself too seriously..." The leading girl gestured to the surroundings. The bullies approached Raiden Mei and Kiana with malicious intent. Damn it... Do they really have to force me to fight? Glancing around, Kiana gritted her teeth and decided not to hide anymore. However, if she started a fight on the first day of school, it would cause trouble for Fuyou.

"What are you all doing?!" However, at that moment, a furious shout erupted from the doorway, and everyone froze. Xilin's face was filled with rage. She pushed through the crowd and saw the pitiful sobbing Raiden Mei. Instantly, the pitiful and helpless Raiden Mei brought back Xilin's deepest memories, sending a surge of inexplicable rage.

"He only knows how to bully the weak..." Xilin said lightly with her eyes darkening.

"Bella, remember not to cause any casualties."

Xilin hadn't expected that even though she hadn't bothered to deal with these bullies, they would only intensify their violence. Now that Mei Raiden was her friend, these guys were still pushing her too far. Xilin wouldn't tolerate them.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Before she could finish her words, Bella's figure shot out like a sharp sword. Everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and the next moment, the bullies all screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Not far away, Asakura Miyuki watched Bella's fight, her eyes brightening as she couldn't help but think of what happened last night. Bella-san, what a gentle person! Looking at Bella, who had beaten the bullies to a point of wailing, Asakura Miyuki's eyes were hazy.

At night, at the ME Club headquarters, several furtive figures slipped in. Upon closer inspection, they were the bullies from the day.

"You losers can't even do such a simple thing!" The blonde beauty flew into a rage as she looked at the injured bullies in front of her.

"I told you to provoke her as much as possible. Why did you make yourselves so embarrassed instead?" The blonde woman was Cocolia. She was planning to create an artificial collapse in Changkong City to serve her unknown plan.

"It was Xilin and Bella. They interrupted our behavior, and Bella even beat us up..." The leading bully spoke tremblingly, completely lacking the arrogance he had during the day.

"And their backgrounds seem to be very mysterious. Even the principal of Qianyu Academy treats them with great respect."

"Background? Ha, what a joke!" As an executor of Anti-Entropy, and having recently defeated Thunder Ryuma, Cocolia didn't care about background at all. No matter what the other party's background was, could it be higher than hers? "One week, I'll give you another week..." Cocolia began slowly, but was interrupted by a discordant voice.

"I think we can waive this week's time."

Looking up suddenly, Cocolia was shocked to find four faceless figures standing behind her. The leader spoke jokingly. Turning back again, she saw that the bullies she had sent out had been eroded by the black mist and dissolved silently.

"You..." Seeing the other party sneaking in quietly, Cocolia's pupils shook.

"Don't worry about those guards. They've been dealt with long ago. To be honest, this place is pretty easy to find."

The leader sneered, slowly raised his head, and a few vermilion feathers slowly fell.

"Yu Duchen."

Chapter 104 Bad Fate

"So he's a survivor of the Second Great Collapse... and he even met Cecilia?" Fuyou pondered after reading Cocolia's memories. These uninvited guests were none other than Fuyou, Aurora, Galina, and Agata. Ever since he'd spoken with Mei about Raiden Ryuma, Fuyou had begun to pay attention to the ME Club in Changkong City. The reason was simple: Raiden Ryuma, the anti-entropy executor, had been overthrown by Cocolia, and Cocolia would inevitably accept Raiden Ryuma's business in Changkong City. And when Cocolia personally went to the ME Club, it was time for him to take action. What Fuyou had said to Kiana that morning was more important than going to school, and it wasn't just about playing games.

"Framed Raiden Ryoma, took over ME Club, artificially released Honkai energy..." Fuyou understood after a quick glance at Cocolia's memories. One can't judge a person by appearances. Fuyou hadn't expected this Cocolia to do such a thing—as one of the few survivors of the Second Great Honkai, no one knew the devastation it brought better than she did. But Fuyou chose not to intervene. After all, he had come here solely to investigate the current situation within Anti-Entropy. Artificial Honkai would only further confuse the situation, and the global trend wouldn't be altered by Cocolia's small actions. Even if Raiden Mei went berserk, she was just an immature, single-core Herrscher, easily suppressed. In short, Cocolia's plans were within his control. As for the results of the investigation into Anti-Entropy... they were exactly as Fuyou expected. Because Walter hadn't appeared within Anti-Entropy for a long time, the Executors were eager to make a move, and Cocolia, at the forefront, had ulterior motives. Conflicts abound between the progressives and conservatives, and the various executors engage in intrigue and self-determination, leaving Anti-Entropy in disarray. While Anti-Entropy appears to be actively innovating, with various experiments and technologies advancing, Fu You knows full well that without Walter, Anti-Entropy is utterly useless and unworthy of mention. After revising Cocolia's understanding of Silin and Bella, Fu You leaves the ME Club with the three children.

After school, Bella wandered around the living room, feeling distressed. This story all started this morning. ... "Bella, this is your student ID. Return it to you."

When the get out of class was over, Asakura Miyuki, who was a stranger to Bella, suddenly walked up to Bella and returned her lost student ID card to her.

"Thank you..." Before the confused Bella could finish her words subconsciously, Asakura Miyuki spoke again.

"Is Bella free tonight?" Asakura Miyuki spoke slowly into Bella's ear, ignoring Xilin's dangerous gaze.

"Bella, can I have you for dinner tonight? I have so many feelings I want to share with you... I love you so much..." A hint of attachment filled her eyes, a blush creeping up the girl's cheeks, while Bella, standing beside her, was bewildered. Looking at the angry Xilin, Bella felt even more utterly utterly helpless. What was going on? ... "Senior, the girl the Queen and I rescued last night came to see me today with my student ID..." After much deliberation, Bella slowly approached Fu You, her face agonizing, looking quite conflicted.

"Huh? Is she using this to threaten you?" Upon hearing this, Fu You spoke subconsciously, and all kinds of scenes of ingratitude and destroying bridges after crossing them instantly emerged in his mind.

"Don't worry, Bella. If the guy you rescued is as bad as Chi Yuan, I won't let him go!" Thinking Bella had been backstabbed, Fu You cast a sympathetic look at her and vowed to take action. Glancing outside, Fu You understood.

"You have lured her here? But this saves trouble..." "That's not the case, senior!" Bella shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this.

"Today at the academy, she suddenly came up to me and said she liked me, so I brought her back."

"Oh, so that's how it is...ah? What did you say?" He nodded slightly, but then Fu You suddenly paused. After realizing what he had heard, he slowly turned his head and looked at Bella.

"She said she liked me, so I brought her back."

Believing Fuyou hadn't heard clearly, the honest Bella repeated the story, not finding anything wrong. After all, this was her first time encountering such a situation, and at a loss, she made a surprising decision—to take Asakura Miyuki home and let her seniors make the decision. However, Bella clearly hadn't considered the potential impact of her actions. Her words immediately sent Fuyou reeling.

"But it's been less than a day, and you've already reached the stage of meeting the parents?" Fu You, having successfully misunderstood Bella, looked at her carefully, feeling somewhat bewildered. Back in Shenzhou, he'd often sneaked down the mountain to eat and drink at weddings, so he was naturally aware of the Shenzhou custom of in-laws "meeting the parents."

"I don't really understand the thoughts of you young people...but if you really love her, go for it. I will support you unconditionally."

After finishing these words with difficulty, Fu You felt like he was going crazy. For the first time in all these years, Fu You felt that he had been left behind by the times. Fortunately, he was extremely open-minded. If it were Cang Xuan, Chi Yuan, or Dan Zhu, any of them would probably resist such an outrageous thing. If Bella really did fall in love with that human, he would certainly not hinder her happiness... but he might need more time to calm down. However, Bella's next words silenced Fu You again.

"But I love the Queen!" Bella said in confusion with a matter-of-fact look.

"Why are you eating and taking at the same time? This is not good, Bella."

Covering his face helplessly, Fu You could only sigh that young people nowadays are really extravagant.

"I told her that I could be friends with her, but this requires your permission and that of Her Majesty the Queen, Senior."

Looking at Fu You innocently, Bella continued to explain.

"It's your freedom to make friends with anyone, Bella. There's no need to tell me. You're one of the only two Judgment-level Honkai beasts in the world with self-awareness. I hope you can learn to be independent."

With a light sigh, Fu You hoped that Bella could stand on her own in the future rather than letting her listen to Xilin and himself every day.

"But since you're here...let them in first."

Speaking lightly, Fu You nodded at Bella.

"Hello...I'm Bella's classmate, Miyuki Asakura."

Shocked by Fuyou's aura, Asakura Miyuki felt a little nervous.

"I know, Bella told me before."

Afterwards, neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence. Yu Duchen was on his back, and Fu You spoke slowly.

"If you pay attention, you will find that Xilin and Bella are not ordinary people."

Asakura Miyuki nodded repeatedly. Of course she knew this - how could a normal girl have that kind of fighting power? So, Asakura Miyuki took a deep breath and said loudly.

"But I really like Bella. She is like a ray of light that pierces the darkness and saves me!" "..." Looking at Asakura Miyuki's eyes that were almost shining, Fuyou fell silent again. He really didn't have any experience in emotional counseling!

Chapter 105: Unexplained Knife

"Bella makes me feel very safe. She is now deeply engraved in my mind..." Asakura Miyuki continued to talk, not paying any attention to Fu You's increasingly strange look. Fu You did not say anything, but just thought quietly. He always felt that there was something strange about Asakura Miyuki, but as for the specific reason, Fu You could not tell.

"I want to ask, even though Bella saved you, it shouldn't be like this, right?" Fu You finally spoke weakly. He really wanted to keep up with the thinking of today's young people.

"No! My heart tells me that I can't leave Bella anymore..." As she spoke, Asakura Miyuki could hardly control herself. She held her face with her hands, looking intoxicated.

"If Bella-san agrees, hehe..." At this moment, Fuyou finally realized where the strange feeling came from—for a normal girl, Asakura Miyuki's emotions were far too intense and excited. Combined with her unusually abrupt emotions and seemingly extreme behavior, Fuyou became suspicious. Without interrupting Asakura Miyuki, Fuyou carefully examined her, and then, indeed, he noticed something unusual. An extremely faint, almost imperceptible trace of Houkai energy emanated from her. To Fuyou... no, even to Galina, it was completely negligible. However, the Houkai energy emanating from Asakura Miyuki was enough to transform an ordinary human into a mortal. However, her Houkai energy was so tiny and imperceptible, even less than that of a single Advance-level Houkai beast. So much so that even Fuyou subconsciously ignored the presence of Houkai energy within Asakura Miyuki.

"Bella already has someone in her heart. If you want to be friends with her, I have no objection, but if it's a deeper relationship...it's better not to waste your time."

Seeing Asakura Miyuki gradually pause, Fuyou spoke slowly. By this point, he almost understood the reason for her and Bella's "love at first sight"—humans corrupted by Honkai energy have poor mental function and extremely unstable emotions. In ancient Shenzhou, this condition was called "demon possession."

"What?!" After hearing Fuyou's words, Asakura Miyuki suddenly froze, covering her head and muttering to herself in a slightly crazy manner.

"No, Bella is mine... She can only be mine... No one can stop me!" As expected... Looking at Asakura Miyuki, Fuyou shook his head. With a sickly smile on his face, Asakura Miyuki suddenly looked up, as if greatly stimulated, and swept away the previous tranquility and elegance, looking at Fuyou with hope.

"I know Bella listens to you very much. Can you let her fall in love with me?" "With your current mental state, you can't give Bella happiness. Give up."

Looking coldly at Asakura Miyuki, Fuyou whispered that he knew there was nothing to talk about with these guys whose minds were full of Honkai energy (physical meaning).

"Damn it! How dare you stand in the way of my love for Bella-san... Then die!" Unable to contain herself any longer, purple-red lines appeared on Asakura Miyuki's face, and the faint traces of a death warrior appeared on her body. Then, roaring in fury, she lunged frantically at Fuyou. With strength and speed far exceeding that of an ordinary human, Asakura Miyuki's face was horrifying. In an instant, she flashed in front of Fuyou and stabbed him in the throat.

"Alas... Bella, it was you who caused this, why do I have to take the brunt of this?" Without even noticing the attack, Fuyou casually struck down Asakura Miyuki with a single blow. Looking at the unconscious girl on the ground, the exhausted Honkai Beast helplessly complained.

"Awake?" After an unknown amount of time, a calm voice reached her ears. Ignoring the excruciating pain, Asakura Miyuki struggled to her feet. Her madness had completely faded, replaced by renewed clarity in her eyes.

"..." There was no answer. Asakura Miyuki looked terrified, her chest heaving violently. It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from her recent outburst. Her face was flushed hot, thinking about what she had done recently: inexplicably expressing her love for Bella, and then violently hurting people like crazy... Why did these bizarre things happen to her? At the same time, a trace of doubt arose in Asakura Miyuki's heart - yes, how could she do such a thing? "Thank you... I'm so sorry..." She apologized repeatedly, and Asakura Miyuki, who really couldn't figure it out, gave up thinking.

"It's okay. After all, it's not entirely your fault in a situation like this."

Fu You shook his head slightly, not caring about the other party's previous offense. There are only two reasons why the other party was eroded by Honkai energy. Either he was affected by the artificial Honkai created by Cocolia, or Bella did not hold back when she killed those thugs that night. In this regard, Fu You is more inclined to the former. Unlike Aurora and the other three, Bella can better control her own power. When faced with ants that can be easily crushed to death, Bella would not use Honkai energy. Then the answer is obvious. Asakura Miyuki became a victim of Cocolia's plan and was affected by the artificial Honkai. Thinking about the cause and effect, Fu You looked at Asakura Miyuki with a hint of pity in his eyes. The erosion of Honkai energy is irreversible, otherwise the old Red Kite Sage would not have emphasized so much that "those who are possessed by the devil must be killed without mercy."

"I can keep you conscious, but the transformation of your body is irreversible. In the end, you will become a complete monster."
