How to be a Cosplay Boss in the World of Honkai Impact 3rd

"So, mechanical beats biological, biological beats psychic, and psychic beats mechanical?" Li Pu felt a tiny bit more relieved.

Since it was a tutorial stage, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?

"That's right," Himeko said, sounding a little surprised. "I thought you might have forgotten all these basics."

"You should remember that Valkyrie armors are specialized. Different armors will have different effects."

"I know that," Li Pu replied. "It's obvious, White Comet is mechanical."

"Hmm... what does your outfit count as?" Li Pu looked at Himeko's attire. "Does this count as Valkyrie armor? Is it psychic or biological?"

"In terms of setting, this outfit is considered psychic," Himeko said, pushing up her glasses. "After all, it's a simulation battle, you don't necessarily have to wear Valkyrie armor."

After speaking, Himeko glanced meaningfully at Siegfried in White Comet.

"But wearing it is best," Himeko continued. "It makes things more intuitive."

"Then what am I?" Li Pu asked, then immediately understood. "So... I'm biological?"

With this kind of team setup and a beginner tutorial stage focused on elemental advantages, if Siegfried was mechanical and Himeko was psychic, then he was definitely biological.

"Yes," Himeko nodded. "Since you don't have any armor, you're defaulted to biological."

"Oh..." Li Pu nodded. "Alright then."

"Very good," Himeko said. "Then, according to the deployment order, we will now demonstrate to the students the advantages different elements have against different enemies."

"Of course, advantages are never one-sided. Our enemies will still have elemental advantages against us."

"The elemental advantage remains: biological beats psychic, psychic beats mechanical, and mechanical beats biological, forming a triangular relationship."

"Next, you will see the different performances of various elements in the states of advantage, disadvantage, and equality."

"Three different states."

Suddenly, Li Pu felt that the situation was not looking good.

Himeko seemed to be talking to him and Siegfried, but Li Pu knew she was explaining this to Kiana, Mei, Bronya, and others.

"Let's start with you," Himeko said, looking at Li Pu. "There shouldn't be any problem with you like this, right?"

"We..." Li Pu was stunned. It wasn't that there were no problems, it was that there were HUGE problems!

"It's okay," Himeko reassured him. "I've considered it. Your opponents will be a small number of Ranger Honkai Evolved and a small number of Guard Honkai Evolved. Neither are difficult enemies."

"Oh..." Li Pu felt a little more relieved.

It seemed like these were the only two types of enemies from the start. If it were just these two types of enemies, it would only be a few Ranger Honkai Evolved and a few Guard Honkai Evolved, just like in the beginning of the game.

He could still try to fight for it.

"Then, let's begin!"

As soon as Himeko finished speaking, Siegfried and Himeko disappeared from behind Li Pu.

And instantly, the scene changed. It was the same place where they fought the "model worker pig" before.

The difference was...

"You... call this a small number?!"

Li Pu looked at the Ranger and Guard enemies in front of him, enough to form a reinforced company.

His face instantly...

Was ruined!

Chapter 61: Fight Like a Hero

Can I say a curse word?

No?

Then I have nothing to say.

Facing the Guard Honkai Evolved and Ranger Honkai Evolved that were as numerous as the sea, Li Pu's current feeling was this.

This is outrageously ridiculous!

Wasn't this supposed to be a demonstration stage? A training stage? Was it not supposed to have only a small number of enemies? This could form a reinforced company! And you call this 'a small number'?!

Damn it!

Calm down!

Calm down!

Li Pu swallowed.

The Guard Rangers with their long legs were indeed quite beautiful. Their skin was fair, their figures slender and curvaceous. They had neat short hair, and although their faces showed no expression, they looked delicate and cute.

Judging solely by their appearance, they were miles better than Saniga.

But it was true.

How could pigs compare to beautiful girls?

However, facing them, it wasn't a question of charging or not charging. Even if you wanted to charge, you'd have to ask if they were okay with their scythes and bows.

"Guard Honkai Evolved, Ranger Honkai Evolved..."

Li Pu felt his legs trembling. Even though this was just a drill, facing such a massive horde was utterly terrifying. It would be ridiculous not to be scared!

"I can't win!"

It was a blunt admission, and embarrassing too.

Surrendering might be shameful, but if it was useful, then so be it!

"Just as I expected..."

Himeko pressed her forehead.

She had already anticipated that Li Pu would likely avoid the fight. Throwing her in as the first fighter was meant to temper him. After all, a former Valkyrie shouldn't be this pathetic.

But still?

Heh! He really was this pathetic!

Surrendering as soon as he appeared.

Would he be instantly defeated next?

It would be one thing to be defeated by Saniga, but to be defeated by Guard Honkai Evolved. This former Valkyrie was truly useless now!

Seeing that the Guard Honkai Evolved were about to attack, Himeko decided to stop the fight for now.

"Do you have any ideas?" Himeko turned her head. She had no intention of letting Li Pu withdraw right now. Instead, she turned to Siegfried and asked, "Do you have a solution for her condition?"

"This..."

Siegfried was genuinely stumped by the question.

He knew very well that the current Li Pu was not the same as the Cecilia of the past. In terms of fighting will, he couldn't compare to Cecilia back then.

However, this was also a good opportunity.

The first step to awakening Cecilia was to awaken her fighting will!

"I... might... have a little bit." Siegfried scratched his head and said, "Perhaps I have a way to help Cecilia reawaken her fighting will."

"Please!"

Himeko didn't hesitate. Right now, it was whoever could do it, that's who should step up. If you can do it, you do it. If you can't, you back down. Since Siegfried claimed he had a method.

Then let him try.

"You need to cut off the public broadcast. It has to be just me and Cecilia, one-on-one," Siegfried requested.

"Alright." Himeko tapped on her tablet a few times and said, "Please be quick, time is precious. I don't have that much time to waste."

"I know! I know." Siegfried cleared his throat.

"Ahem~ Cecilia."

"Either fight now," Siegfried's voice suddenly became very playful and teasing, "or come fight me tonight. You choose."

"Don't worry, I don't care about your current situation, or rather..."

"Aren't cute boys the best?"

Li Pu's expression changed drastically.

He really hadn't expected Siegfried to pull a stunt like this.

"You're into that?" Li Pu felt goosebumps erupt all over his body. "That joke isn't funny at all."

"This isn't a joke." Siegfried seemed to turn serious. "As long as it's Cecilia, no matter what form she takes, I will love her."

"Cecilia, you should know the severity of the Honkai."

"You can't stay in the academy forever, and you can't live a life confined to a simple routine forever."

"The Honkai will descend again, and you'll have to face it sooner or later."

"If you can't reawaken your fighting will at this moment," Siegfried said sternly, "if you can't fight like a hero, then find a hero to protect you."

"And I very much want to be that hero."

"This is just acting." Li Pu couldn't help but say, "It's not that serious, is it? I think I can handle it when it's time to fight."

"Cecilia," Siegfried said with a hint of disdain, "stop deceiving yourself."

"Let's be realistic. Someone who shrinks back even from an exercise..."

"Will they become fearless on the battlefield?"

"I don't think so."

"You only have two choices," Siegfried stated. "Either fight like a hero, or find someone like a hero to protect you."

"Now, fight, or I'll step in."

Either fight the Guard Honkai Evolved, or be "ridden" by Siegfried.

Li Pu chose the former!

Fight like a hero.

It sounds easy to say, but in reality, it's not as simple as it seems. Even with the intention to rise up and strengthen one's will.

However, suddenly facing all of this, I still can't truly confront it in my heart.

'I'll go for it!'

Li Pu finally decided to face it all. One step back would lead to steps back. One moment of weakness would only lead to everlasting cowardice.

Although I don't know if Siegfried's tastes are truly unique, at least some of his words weren't wrong.

If I can't fight like a hero right now.

Then in actual combat, I'll only be able to run away like a coward.

'Like a hero... like a hero...' Li Pu still felt his legs trembling. Truly being like a hero is indeed difficult.

This feeling is too vague!

The Guard Honkai Evolved in front of him started moving again. They took their long strides, walking with a catwalk-like gait. Like elegant ladies, they slowly approached Li Pu.

But each step didn't feel pleasant at all. The giant scythe in their hands was the scythe of death!

As long as the distance is right, they will mercilessly reap your life!

'Be more specific! Fight like a hero.' Li Pu was anxious, but he gradually found something for himself. Fighting like a hero is too vague.

Finding a more concrete target to imitate might be a good choice!

A more practical goal.

With such a goal, Li Pu suddenly felt a more specific and vivid figure appear before his eyes.

That girl declared with such conviction!
