Raiden Mei

Raiden Mei is the only daughter of Raiden Ryoma, the president of massiveelectric (abbreviated as ME Company).

In 1999, her mother passed away from cancer.

In 2004, Mei was kidnapped by a terrorist group. After being rescued, she spent three years recuperating at ME Company's private facility due to psychological trauma.

As the daughter of the ME Company president, Mei received the finest education and upbringing. From her prominent background to her exceptional appearance, from her social graces to her achievements, nothing was wanting.

Sometime ago, the nickname "Queen Raiden" began to spread through Senba Academy, gaining traction.

However, just recently, ME Company was suddenly embroiled in a scandal involving economic fraud. Her father, Raiden Ryoma, was implicated in forging financial documents. He was not only removed from his position as president by the board of directors but also faced imprisonment, his reputation plummeting.

Adults coveting ME Company tried every means to get close to Mei, while friends who were once incredibly close to her began to distance themselves.

It was then that Mei realized they had never cared about her as a person, only about the title "Raiden Mei."

Only now, this young lady living in an "ivory tower" began to truly face the monster known as reality.

It was clear that society was heartless, and no inexperienced young person could avoid being hit by its blows.

However, this beating from society, from reality, was still a bit too soon for this girl named Mei.

She became reclusive and indifferent, starting to doubt everything.

In truth, the upheaval in her family couldn't have affected her that much.

She had simply seen reality...

Or rather, what she thought was reality.

She began to question her own meaning and grew increasingly disgusted with this "real" world.

In the terms of the kendo she practiced, she had already "gone mad."

If things continued on this path, then when a certain trigger (Honkai) arrived, she might truly transform into a demon (Herrscher)!

However, a month ago, a young man named Dong Moxuan entered her life.

To be honest, Mei's initial impression of the young man was not good.

After all, he was someone who, under the guise of her father's friend, shamelessly moved into her house by clinging to her.

Given Mei's near-blackened psychological state at the time, it was a testament to her own moral fortitude that she didn't try to get rid of him, let alone feel any affection.

However, as time went on, Mei's impression of the young man gradually changed.

Although it had only been a short month, Dong Moxuan's concern for her and his gentleness towards her were deeply imprinted in her heart.

This was because Dong Moxuan didn't just freeload at her house; he cared for her, cherished her, and acknowledged her like a true elder.

Care, affection, and acknowledgment were things Mei's parents should have given her.

However, Mei's mother had passed away early, and her father was constantly absent due to work.

Therefore, Dong Moxuan's appearance fulfilled Mei's craving for these emotions, replacing Raiden Ryoma's original position in her heart.

(One could imagine that if Raiden Ryoma knew about this, that his brother was taking such good care of his daughter, he would be immensely grateful to his younger brother!)

For Mei, who had grown accustomed to solitude after suddenly facing great change, Dong Moxuan's presence was like a ray of light in the darkness, captivating her.

However, Dong Moxuan was, after all, not Mei's father, and could not truly replace Raiden Ryoma's position in her heart.

Instead, Dong Moxuan's youthful appearance and his unrestrained, casual demeanor, devoid of any elder's airs, caused Mei's affection for him to develop in an unspeakable direction.

But, no matter what, Dong Moxuan was an intimately close presence to Mei, like family. This was an undeniable fact.

And precisely because of this, when that will capable of instantly destroying the minds of ordinary people appeared, this girl named Mei was able to barely maintain her true self...

Zzzzt...

On the rooftop of Senba Academy, the purple-haired girl stared blankly ahead, her eyes filled with confusion.

Where was she?

Who was she...?

After a long while, a jumble of fragmented memories slowly surfaced in her mind.

Only then did she recall her identity...

She was Raiden Mei, the young lady of ME Company, the "Queen Raiden" admired by all!

And then...

The ME Company scandal, the ugly faces of those adults who approached her, the departure of her so-called friends...

These memories flashed through her mind, causing her to clutch her head in pain.

"These things... what exactly..."

Mei groaned softly, taking several seconds to sort out her thoughts.

Then, an incredibly potent wave of negative emotions erupted. The dark thoughts that had been deeply buried in Mei's subconscious almost instantly flooded her mind.

Right, she was the young lady of ME Company, the "Young Lady of ME Company"!

In this world, no one cared about Raiden Mei; they only cared about the identity of the "Young Lady of ME Company."

So, after her father got into trouble, those disgusting people shamelessly approached her, and those so-called friends distanced themselves from her…

And her father, he didn't tell her anything either.

Even what happened this time…

She…

Knew nothing!

In the end, Raiden Ryoma…

Did he really care about her, his daughter?

No one cared about her at all!

She had no value in existing!

Raiden Mei had no value in existing!

Therefore, this world that didn't acknowledge her also had no value in existing!

That's right, such a world is truly too ugly!

This world (humanity) needs judgment!

This world (humanity) needs to be destroyed!

The girl looked ahead, the darkness in her eyes deepening. Even the arcs of electricity on her, which were less than a centimeter long, had evolved into pillars as thick as an adult's arm.

That's right, this world (humanity) is wrong, and she would destroy everything in the world!

Destroy everything in the world?

Suddenly, the image of a certain silver-haired youth appeared in the mind of the girl who was about to fully transform into a Herrscher.

Her body trembled slightly, and the concentration of Honkai Energy on her began to decrease significantly.

No, it's not like that!

As if finding a pillar for her soul, the girl's eyes became increasingly radiant.

Her existence was not meaningless, nor was she uncared for!

Although he approached her as a friend of her father, the boy's concern and care for her were absolutely pure.

So…

"Jun Xuan…"

The girl softly called out the name she used for the boy, and then…

"Bang!"

She turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

Mei saw the boy, and…

The silver-haired girl holding the boy's wrist.
