Changkong City, near the Beichen Yidao-ryu Dojo

After kicking a Meele flying, Bronya slowly approached the target area.

Since Cocolia had chosen Raiden Mei as the vessel for the Conquest Gem, she naturally would have made preparations before triggering the Third Honkai Outbreak.

Thus, after calming down, Cocolia immediately transmitted information related to Raiden Mei to her daughter, Bronya Zaychik.

Although Bronya was only a fourteen-year-old girl, the Bronya lying low in Changkong City was stronger than most adult men in this world.

After becoming an orphan because of the Second Honkai War, she had been taken in by a military organization and trained into an elite assassin.

Because of Bronya's exceptionally outstanding record, she gradually earned a title within the military organization—the Silver Wolf of the Urals.

The profession of an assassin required not only knowing how to end others' lives in the simplest way possible, but also mastering knowledge and skills that seemingly had nothing to do with assassination.

Infiltration and disguise went without saying. Intelligence analysis and hacking skills were practically standard issue as well. Combining these skills, Bronya easily deduced the two places Raiden Mei might have gone.

After Raiden Ryoma was framed, Raiden Mei could only live alone in an apartment. Other than occasionally going to the Beichen Yidao-ryu Dojo to practice swordsmanship, she did nothing else in her spare time.

And since the Beichen Yidao-ryu Dojo was closer to Senba Academy, Bronya naturally chose to check the dojo first.

"Mother, Bronya has arrived near the Beichen Yidao-ryu Dojo. For now, Bronya has not discovered any powerful Honkai Beasts nearby."

"Mm, understood. Notify us immediately once you confirm the target. We will arrive at once."

"Bronya understands."

After cutting off the communication, Bronya silently made a light leap like an elegant panther and landed in the dojo's inner courtyard.

Then, after landing perfectly, the girl immediately held her breath and began listening for sounds nearby.

There were two faint breathing sounds in the western lounge.

There also seemed to be a breathing sound at the central entrance. Judging from its volume, it was heavier than the other two.

Mm, barring any surprises, it should be a man.

After confirming the distribution of people here, Bronya quietly attempted to approach the entrance.

Since she had already confirmed someone was at the entrance, Bronya did not mind dealing with the guard at the door first.

With her abilities, silently taking down an ordinary person would take only an instant.

After dealing with the gatekeeper, would the two people sleeping inside not be at her mercy?

This was in the bag.

After silently approaching the entrance like a cat, Bronya slightly lowered her body, then...

—She suddenly flung open the door and kicked straight at the figure's head.

Yet after Bronya launched her kick, she felt as though the enemy's head were a steel plate, directly knocking her mechanical prosthetic aside.

Then, as crimson light erupted, Bronya immediately stomped hard and sprang back to a spot two meters away from the entrance.

"Hoh, not bad speed."

A longsword slashed out from the crimson light.

Had Bronya remained where she was, she would certainly have been in danger now.

"Strange."

Bronya slightly furrowed her brow as she looked at the Armored Man before her.

"Mother, Bronya has discovered a strange person in armor beside Raiden Mei."

"Considering Schicksal's technological system, this person may be using the latest Valkyrie Armor."

After seeing the crimson knight once the light faded, Bronya added another sentence.

"This enemy may be male."

"I understand. Keep him occupied for now. I will send a mech unit immediately!"

After saying that, Cocolia promptly hung up.

Then she clicked her tongue in irritation.

"That bastard Otto actually sent Schicksal warriors to lie in wait beside Raiden Mei long ago?"

"No, I need to speed things up. The Conquest Gem absolutely cannot fall into Schicksal's hands!"

Meanwhile, after Bronya ended her communication with Cocolia, she began warily assessing the crimson warrior before her.

"Strange. Bronya should not have made any sound just now. The infiltration angle Bronya chose was also a blind spot from the entrance."

"Could there be cameras installed here?"

"Uh, listen..."

Attack Ride Blast

Watching Bronya continuously analyze the situation, Gu Yu drew a card and flicked it into his Driver.

"Isn't it a little disrespectful to ignore me right in front of me, kid?"

Then, once the card completed its loading, Gu Yu directly transformed his sword into a gun and aimed its ominously glowing muzzle at Bronya.

"Surrender quietly, or I cannot guarantee your safety."

"Do not expect me to go easy on a pretty girl. I believe in equality. Even if you are a woman, I will give you an equal flying kick."

"Bronya hates you!"

Sensing the energy gathering at the muzzle, Bronya waved a hand, causing her longtime companion to absorb the nearby Honkai Energy and manifest on the battlefield.

"Project Bunny, hit him!"
