"Huh? What kind of logic is that? Just because I think this outfit suits you, you want to fight me? Just how much do you love fighting?" Fu Yuan said helplessly.
"Because other than fighting, I have no interest in anything else," Scáthach said calmly.
That was right. Queen Scáthach of the Land of Shadows was someone who had no interest in anything beyond training and battle. It was precisely because of that mindset that she had remained alone in the Land of Shadows for thousands of years.
Fu Yuan turned his head to look at the calm-faced Scáthach. As a transmigrator, he knew her circumstances; she had been alone in the Land of Shadows for thousands of years.
So Fu Yuan felt a little sorry for her. She clearly had so much time, yet she could not properly enjoy the beauty of life, having been rejected by the Counter Force to the outer side of the world all along.
"Interests need to be cultivated. Besides, some things only become fun when two or several people do them together. So, Scáthach, why don't you try developing some other interests?"
"Are you interested in skiing? We're heading somewhere covered in ice and snow next, so how about we go skiing while we're there?" Fu Yuan suggested.
Scáthach looked at Fu Yuan, who had said those words to her. She had heard the clumsy concern in his words, and she smiled beautifully.
With that breathtaking smile on her face, Scáthach replied, "I'm not very interested in skiing, but I am interested in something else. Something that can only be done by two people together."
Something only two people could do together... What could it be?
Fu Yuan looked at the smiling Scáthach and swallowed. "Don't tell me it's..."
"That's right. Fighting."
"...Hahaha! Of course it's fighting."
"I refuse!"
Scáthach watched Fu Yuan briskly walk toward the car after refusing her. Smiling faintly, she stretched out her long, slender legs and followed him.
By car, Fu Yuan and Scáthach returned home from Mount Ensō. Next, Fu Yuan began buying plane tickets to Germany for the day after tomorrow.
Two tickets—one for Fu Yuan and one for Scáthach.
Although Fu Yuan was a transmigrator, the Honkai System had provided him with forged identification in this world, so buying plane tickets was no trouble at all.
As for Scáthach, who had spent thousands of years in the Land of Shadows, she had no identification. But that was not a difficult problem. On the way home, Fu Yuan stopped by a police station and got her some identification.
As for how he got it, that was simple.
It was roughly similar to the method of "Isn't the sidewalk quite spacious?"
In other words, the illegal kind of method.
Why were they going to Germany the day after tomorrow instead of tomorrow?
Because Fu Yuan wanted Scáthach to set up a Magic Barrier around his home that could gather Great Source Mana, making it easier for him to cultivate the true qi of Great Void Sword Qi.
Besides that, Fu Yuan had something else he needed to do.
That was to test the power of the Shadow Knight: Moon Halo character template. After completing today's Daily Quests, Fu Yuan had received the Shadow Knight: Moon Halo character template and 2,800 crystals from the Honkai System.
If he did not figure out the specifics of Shadow Knight: Moon Halo, Fu Yuan would not be able to sleep.
So, after booking plane tickets to Germany for himself and Scáthach for the day after tomorrow, Fu Yuan came to the spacious courtyard, intending to conduct some tests related to Shadow Knight: Moon Halo.
Scáthach, still dressed in her JK uniform, sat on the courtyard platform and watched Fu Yuan standing in the yard. She knew he was about to test his new power, so she was very curious to see what would happen next.
The updates begin! This is the first chapter!
Shadow Knight: Moon Halo II
In Honkai Impact 3rd, Shadow Knight: Moon Halo was a prototype fourth-generation Valkyrie God-Slaying Armor.
Unlike White Knight: Moonbeam, which possessed powerful long-range attack capabilities, the armor known as Shadow Knight: Moon Halo was different.
The Shadow Knight: Moon Halo armor was not equipped with any ranged weaponry at all. It was armor completely specialized for close combat.
But in exchange, it possessed an extraordinary level of mobility that even other God-Slaying Armors could not match.
Once its limiters were released, Shadow Knight: Moon Halo would be unleashed and enter a state known as Eclipse Form.
With the limiters released, the highly concentrated compressed particles within the armor's power core would be discharged at maximum speed.
Then, the two sets of blade thrusters at the waist would fully unfold, while the armor across the entire body would turn an orange-red color like a total lunar eclipse.
With its limiters released, the output power of the Shadow Knight: Moon Halo armor would rise dramatically, while its already remarkable speed would reach the utmost extreme.
It would close in on its enemy with lightning speed, followed by a barrage of blows as fierce as a raging storm.
Using Shadow Knight: Moon Halo was actually quite simple. Once Fu Yuan obtained the armor, the system had accepted the template belonging to Shadow Knight: Moon Halo.
With just a thought from Fu Yuan, he could activate the Shadow Knight: Moon Halo armor directly.
Under Scáthach's beautiful gaze, Fu Yuan, who had activated the Shadow Knight: Moon Halo armor, began to change.
Orange-yellow particles of light began radiating from Fu Yuan's body. Like the glow of mana, they wrapped themselves around him.
Watching Fu Yuan's body become covered in light particles, Scáthach murmured in surprise, "Is this an ability woven from mana?"
It was only natural for Scáthach to be doubtful now, because Fu Yuan, having activated Shadow Knight: Moon Halo, truly looked as though he had been wrapped in mana.
Then, as even the air trembled, the particles of light surrounding Fu Yuan's body began to twist and stretch, seemingly taking shape into something.
Fu Yuan could now clearly feel something covering the surface of his body, and he even developed a subtle sensation toward those things.
It was as though the things covering his body had been part of him since birth. He felt no discomfort or awkwardness whatsoever.
Once the particles of light dispersed, Fu Yuan's appearance was completely different from before.
The clothes Fu Yuan had been wearing had been replaced by a tight, sleek bodysuit.
Moreover, components resembling mechanical armor were scattered across various parts of his body over the bodysuit.
Fu Yuan, having activated Shadow Knight: Moon Halo, clenched his hand and muttered, "So this is Shadow Knight: Moon Halo."
Then Scáthach's voice came over. "I don't know what this 'Shadow Knight: Moon Halo' you speak of is, but isn't what you're wearing now also a bodysuit?"
Fu Yuan froze upon hearing that. He glanced at Scáthach, sitting on the courtyard platform, then lowered his head to look at what he was wearing.
It really was!
After activating the Shadow Knight: Moon Halo character template, Fu Yuan's current outfit looked much like the bodysuit Scáthach had worn earlier. The only difference was that he had many mechanical armor-like components on him.
"..." Fu Yuan fell silent for a moment. Then, beneath Scáthach's half-smiling gaze, he said in a perfectly nonchalant tone, "I think bodysuits are pretty great. They're not only lightweight, but also convenient for fighting. Wearing something like this in battle is completely fine."
