Brain Storage (`?ω?′)ゞ

3:14 PM, Previous Civilization Era, above Luoyan City. Dark clouds gathered, and rain mixed with snow poured down onto the land. However, the two individuals mid-air were completely unaffected by their surroundings, continuing their life-or-death struggle.

With a dull thud, the man clad in blue and white armor was struck on his shoulder guard by the girl's punch. He stumbled back a few steps. Strangely, no bright red blood seeped from the wound. Instead, a dark, inky black mist emerged.

"Hehehe, you damned Fusion Warrior, did you really think you could defeat Honkai just by eliminating me? Stop dreaming! After me, even more powerful Herrschers await you. And even if you defeat them, what then? Before Finality, you are all doomed! Hahahahahaha..." the man said with a sinister grin to the expressionless girl opposite him.

"Are you done talking? Then, welcome your death! Sword, arise!" The girl opened her left hand, her right hand in a chopping motion. A massive longsword materialized out of thin air in the sky and slashed down towards the man.

The man spread his arms indifferently, facing his death. Before he turned to dust, his maniacal laughter still echoed in the girl's ears: "I'll be waiting for you in hell... Hahahahahahaahahahahaha..."

The girl raised her hand, catching a shard of debris. After crushing it lightly, she said, "Herrscher of Finality... We will not give up... Hey, this is Fusheng. Yes, the Herrscher of Judgment has been eliminated. I'll rejoin the team immediately..."

"Ah!" The boy woke up from his dream, gasping for air. After calming himself down slightly, he realized his clothes were soaked in cold sweat. He got out of bed helplessly and walked into the bathroom. He cupped his hands under the faucet, splashing cold water onto his face. The shock of the cold water finally cleared his head. He sighed again as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.

He had lost count of how many times he had been woken by nightmares since birth. Ever since he could remember, he had been plagued by the same nightmare for seventeen long years.

In his dreams, he was always an observer, watching a man in armor with an obscured face and a girl in a gray coat battle. They clashed in the air, throwing punches and blocking each other. They fought back and forth in the pouring rain, but in the end, the man would always be killed by the giant sword summoned by the girl after exhausting his strength.

The boy always wondered why he had been dreaming of the same scene for over a decade. He often asked his companions if they dreamed of similar scenarios, but he was always met with their ridicule.

As the boy grew, he began to realize that he had no memories before the age of twelve. Ever since he could remember, he had been in an orphanage in Changkong City, one of the many children left homeless by the Honkai outbreak.

After five years of stable and uneventful life, just when the boy thought he would live a mundane life, disaster struck Changkong City once again.

One afternoon, without any warning, Honkai Beasts descended from the sky, brutally slaughtering the people of Changkong City. Those struck were also transformed into bloodthirsty creatures, attacking friend and foe alike, turning their claws against their former families.

The city's forces engaged in fierce battles with the monsters to protect the survivors. However, due to a lack of reinforcements, they were gradually annihilated. Without the protection of the troops, the people became like meat on a chopping block, slaughtered wantonly by the Honkai creatures.

The same happened in the orphanage where the boy stayed. But no one knew exactly what transpired in that orphanage. When the Schicksal Far East Branch's rescue team arrived, the boy was the only survivor in the entire orphanage.

The Valkyrie leading the team brought him back to the branch. After a thorough full-body examination, the researchers were astonished to discover that the boy's compatibility with Honkai Energy reached an astonishing ninety-five percent. It was known that normal males rarely had a compatibility exceeding thirty percent, yet the boy's reached a staggering ninety-five percent.

After a brief discussion, the leader of the Far East Branch and the principal of St. Freya Academy, Theresa Apocalypse, decided to take the boy in as a student at St. Freya Academy. Thus, the boy became the sole male student at St. Freya Academy. Today was the boy's first day at the academy.

The boy organized his thoughts, walked out of the room, and pulled open the curtains. The sun was slowly peeking over the horizon, illuminating the land like a brilliant gem. He didn't know that his story was just beginning
