Sirin's Training Diary

"Of course! How could you hide anything from Grandpa? But don't worry, it seems Grandpa isn't concerned yet. Just focus on your studies and make progress every day!"

Theresa scratched her head and chuckled optimistly. On one hand, she had absolute confidence in Otto's abilities, and on the other hand, she was very optimistic and didn't think Bronya's identity was anything special.

Ultimately, St. Freya was her territory, and Theresa didn't think protecting a student would be difficult.

Bronya was silent for a moment, speechless. She looked at the moon in the sky, thought for a moment, and sent a message to Cocolia.

"Mom, I arrived at school safely. Everything went smoothly, don't worry."

[OK.]

The other party replied almost instantly.

Bronya paused for a moment, then gently pressed the cell phone-like communicator to her chest, recalling her brief time at home.

Although there were many things she didn't quite get used to at first. For example, Cocolia always liked to hug her, as if to make up for a long-lost intimacy; for example, Anzu learned to do housework and is now the little housekeeper; for example, Ninti, her new well-behaved and adorable little sister.

But in the end, home is always warm, possessing a magical power that allows you to let down your guard and relieve all your stress. And once you're away from it, you immediately start to miss it.

The feeling of going from having no home to having one again is indescribable, but it brings an unparalleled sense of peace.

Bronya looked up at the moon, as if she were seeing scenes from home again. A soft shimmer appeared in her eyes under the moonlight.

"Teacher Himeko, um, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I have some questions, but I really don't know who to talk to."

Late at night, Himeko, who was lying alone in bed with her pillow, lost in thought, suddenly received a call from Fu Hua.

Himeko's expression was blank, and she said weakly:

"Speak."

"Well, it's like this, I... I have a friend who bumped into a friend he's known for a long time who said he liked him, and then, well, uh..."

"Is this friend of yours actually yourself?"

"Ahem! We're just friends!"

Fu Hua hurriedly covered up her words.

Himeko gave a cold laugh.

"Oh! So, is your friend male or female?"

"A woman."

What about the friend who confessed their feelings to your friend?

"She's a woman too."

Fu Hua replied quickly.

Himeko took a deep breath, turned on the speakerphone, held the phone to her mouth, and roared:

"Another lesbian, huh? I'm already annoyed with myself! Go find someone else, get lost!"

"Smack!"

Himeko hung up the phone, tossed it aside, and then curled up, hugging the pillow in her arms tightly.

"Although it's soft, it's different!"

"She must be angry, right? Or maybe she was scared? Otherwise, why would she suddenly go to Kiana's room to sleep?"

"Waaaaah! I'm so lonely all by myself!"

Himeko writhed uncomfortably, her devilishly alluring body bouncing up and down on the bed without any regard for her image.

She was completely unaccustomed to sleeping without Anqi by her side, and she couldn't help but wonder what Anqi was thinking, making it even harder to fall asleep.

I can usually use alcohol to help me sleep when I can't sleep; I just drink until I'm drunk and fall asleep.

But she's decided to quit drinking again today!

"Can't sleep~"

"(╥╥) Waaaaah!"

"Anqi, I can't sleep~~"

While Himeko tossed and turned, unable to sleep, Kiana slept soundly.

"Hululuulu~~"

"Hehehe! Mei, I want more food!"

"Anqi ~ Anqi ~ So soft~~"

"Snoring~~"

The white-haired girl was talking in her sleep, with glistening drool dripping from the corner of her mouth. Her silly, smiling sleeping face was so adorable that it was almost unbearable to look at, yet one couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Looking at Kiana's flawless, fair face so close yet so close, Anqi couldn't help but pinch it, then revealed a gentle and affectionate smile.

"So naive, it's enviable."

Anqi said so.

At the same time, it also makes people want to protect this innocent joy.

Especially now that Anqi was so close to her and had gradually gathered some strength, this protective feeling, akin to that for her own silly daughter, grew even stronger.

But how far can she ultimately go?

With a growing sense of composure, but also with uncertainty and a sense of crisis about the future, Anqi slowly closed her eyes. In Kiana's warm and sweet embrace, her mind sank into the realm of power.

At this moment, in the realm of consciousness, in a pure white space.

The Queen of Void, as white as snow, sat cross-legged on her crystal throne, slurping instant noodles while watching the latest anime that Kiana had been watching during the day, completely at ease.

Suddenly, the world before my eyes changed drastically.

Sirin keenly sensed that the space she was in had changed.

The sky was filled with countless giant, spinning golden gears, and beneath one's feet lay a smooth, solid gray stone floor. Towering, imposing walls enclosed a vast arena.

In the center of the arena sat Sirin, while in the stands on the high walls sat one Anqi after another.

"It's you again, you ant!"

Sirin casually tossed the instant noodles aside, the scalding broth spilling onto the stone bricks.

With a cold expression, Sirin slowly raised her right hand, summoning countless black spatial portals. One after another, gleaming Void Lance emerged from the portals, their violent killing intent descending like a heavy rain curtain.

At the same time, a petite figure jumped down from the high wall, then slowly drew the ancient, crimson Han sword and walked step by step toward Sirin.

"This sword was forged from Soul Steel and the Herrscher Core. Its name is Fire Essence. The blade is three feet and seven inches long, and it weighs seventy-three pounds and sixteen ounces. It can cut a hair with a single blow and can read minds—please enlighten me!"

Anqi dropped her sword sheath, gripped it with both hands, and gradually shifted from a leisurely stroll to a sprint, instantly thrusting it straight at Sirin's chest.

Sirin's eyes were icy as she looked at the spectators on the high wall, her murderous Anqi growing stronger.

"How dare you underestimate me?!"

Countless sharp spears rained down like a storm, leaving the cobblestone arena riddled with holes.

Amidst the rumbling and shaking, a red phantom moved freely through the rain of death, and soon brought its blade to Sirin's feet.

"Clang!!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed in all directions as the crimson sword and the Void Lance collided, sparking flashes of light and creating aftershocks of sword energy that tore the ground apart.

Facing each other, Sirin's expression was icy, while Anqi smiled slowly.

St. Freya Anqi is an individual with a relatively average physical constitution and has not obtained those high-level amplification cheats. However, the combination of the fourth layer of sword heart's Taixu Sword Qi and the Key of Domination is quite powerful, although the extent of its power has not yet been tested.

But tonight, the Anqi will get an answer.

Anqi would sometimes unleash powerful sword energy from her hands, and sometimes fly her crimson sword through the air, making it impossible to defend against. She moved calmly in and out of the death zone where the Void Lance flew, repeatedly getting close to Sirin.

However, limits do exist.

After a long and drawn-out struggle, Anqi, covered in wounds, was pierced through the body by several Void Lance. Her crystal-clear purple eyes gazed at Sirin with a hint of regret before her figure transformed into specks of light and vanished from the space where the power struggle was taking place.

"37 minutes, this number is not surprising considering the weakened state of my older sister."

"She is much stronger than the usual Himeko, but the Himeko during the Last Lesson was different in terms of combat power, so they cannot be compared."

"Unfortunately, none of us have fought Rita. I feel that I am stronger in St. Freya, but I can't be sure."

"The threshold of S-rank, or maybe a little higher, is still far from that of a true Herrscher. That's about the level?"

The Anqi commented on the battlefield performance, completely indifferent to the defeat and death of St. Freya Anqi.

Sirin's face darkened, and she waved her hand, intending to cover the faces of these onlookers with the Void Lance.

Then, an even smaller figure slowly landed in front of Sirin.

"Big sister, you can call me Ninti. I will compete against you in this match."

The little girl, with golden hair reaching her thighs, had a blank expression. Her tail swayed behind her, slowly revealing two sharp fangs, like a newly drawn sword.

At the same time, an immense Honkai Energy spread out from that small body as if the sky were collapsing.

Sirin's icy expression stiffened for a moment.

"What a joke! Die!"

Sirin transformed her two spears into ribbons that could cut through anything, intertwining as they flew towards Ninti.

At the same time, in the audience seats atop the wall, Ji Lin stroked the Xuanyuan Sword, Delta caressed her thermos, and the massive mecha slowly clenched its fist... There were also over a hundred individuals like St. Freya Anqi, eagerly rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

Dear sister, don't worry, we'll be coming to play with you for many days to come~~

Chapter 112 Sirin's Training Diary

Ninti brutally murdered Sirin.

Then Delta was also killed.

Next up was Ji Lin. She didn't get a kill, but she also managed to get one without much effort.

Same as above for Yae Sakura.

There's no way around it; Sirin currently lacks a physical body and a core, and her Imaginary Gateway is merely a sliver of a connection. She only possesses an incomplete consciousness, and usually has to hide in the deepest part of Kiana's mental domain, finding it difficult even to venture out.

In this situation, facing the Fusion Warrior of the continent-class Honkai Beast Chiyou, the Herrscher wielding the core, the ancient super-powerful beings wielding the strongest Key of Domination, and the holders of the Jizo Mitama —the best Sirin can hope to die without looking too gruesome is her limit.

"Why..."

After being slain by Yae Sakura, Sirin returned to the Theater of Domination and looked at her hands with a puzzled expression.

In theory, Sirin had already lost four times in the power struggle within the Theater of Domination, and Anqi could have long ago stripped Sirin of her Void Authority. But clearly, she didn't do that; instead, she returned the power to Sirin, thereby pulling her back into the Theater.

Sirin didn't understand the situation; she just stared blankly at the Theater.

"He was so weak last time..."

"Who exactly are you...?"

"What's going on?!"

Sirin roared excitedly.

I felt confused, humiliated, disbelieving, and even a little afraid of the unknown before me.

Sirin had completely lost her composure.

Just then, hundreds of unarmed Anqi and a hundred giant mechs descended almost simultaneously in the middle of the Theater, surrounding Sirin.

"My dear elder sister, we are not only to determine who is superior, but also to decide our fate! Please enlighten us!"

"I beep—beep—beep!"

What followed was a chaotic war. Sirin unleashed her power with all her might, but the Anqi did not seem to be so united. Some of them were knocked away and crashed into each other, and some even abandoned Sirin and started fighting amongst themselves.

However, after all that trouble, they eventually wore down Sirin.

Before disappearing, Sirin glared fiercely at the ravaged Theater, and even more so at the disheveled yet nonchalant Anqi group:

"You all better remember this!!"
