He absolutely wasn't ashamed of watching another Kevin's experiences be exposed.
Yeah, absolutely not.
Su Nian continued writing enthusiastically, getting more immersed with every word.
Mei's Father was a world-renowned electromagnetic physicist, and she had made becoming a scientist her own goal in life.
Thus, Mei focused solely on her studies and had no interest in anything else.
No matter what methods Prince Kevin used, Mei could ignore him perfectly.
By this point, Kevin no longer had the courage to keep watching.
He was as red as a boiled crab.
Kevin had been out of school for a long time. Those memories of youth had gradually faded from his mind, yet Su Nian had now directly awakened them.
Whenever he thought of the childish methods he had often used to please Mei in his youth...
Whenever he thought of all those embarrassing experiences being seen by others...
He wanted to run away.
Su Nian was still considering the important parts of the story. Kevin's experiences had been rather fragmented in both the manga and the games.
Besides pursuing Mei, he had other experiences too. For example, he was good friends with Su, and they had once attended Eden's concert together.
Su Nian felt these details were necessary as well.
In the next era, ideological differences between Kevin and Su would arise, which was why Su had temporarily stayed out of the story, giving the protagonist group time to grow.
Wasn't this peaceful period precisely a contrast to the later era?
Old Mi might retcon things, but it was also good at patching them up.
Su Nian continued writing, adding the characters Su and Eden to the story.
Kevin transferred to Senba Academy, but he never lost contact with his friend Su.
The two were close friends who discussed everything from hobbies to ideals. Kevin would even show off the progress of his relationship with Mei to Su, and the two often went to Eden's concerts.
His relationship with Mei was progressing smoothly as well, and their feelings continued to deepen.
The storyline of Kevin's early days at Senba Academy had now been sorted out.
Su Nian wondered what kind of reactions they would have when they saw what he had written.
It should be quite entertaining.
However, the story still hadn't entered its main theme.
Su Nian continued refining the development of the story, but the tone of his writing suddenly shifted!
If the peaceful days could have continued...
Perhaps Prince and his best friend could both have fulfilled their ideals and achieved their dreams.
Perhaps Prince and Bookworm Girl could have reached a beautiful ending...
Unfortunately, that tranquility was completely shattered on this day...
But Fate Had Never Been Fair
The harmonious, peaceful atmosphere from before—the youthful atmosphere most people had experienced, tinged with the sour sweetness of romance—vanished completely.
The setting Su Nian had established earlier, that Honkai ran through the entire story, was no lie.
Honkai was the beginning of everything.
Personal feelings, ideals... even everything else.
Everything you believed to be important was insignificant before the cruel Honkai.
The sorrowful tone had been destined from the very beginning. This story was bound to be tragic and magnificent.
On that day, the Third Honkai Outbreak erupted.
Amid the crowd, Kevin protected Mei as they tried to escape that hell.
At that moment, a man in black found them and invited Mei to join Moth of the Fire, an organization that fought Honkai, in the name of science.
Moth of the Fire had noticed Mei's previously published paper on Quantum Entanglement.
Unwilling to be separated from Mei, Kevin also requested to join Moth of the Fire as a soldier.
And so, the destinies of the boy and girl became intertwined.
The first stage of Kevin's life came to a temporary close here.
Afterward, when Kevin appeared in the manga, it seemed to be during the Sixth Honkai Outbreak.
He had leaped from an ordinary person to an outstanding warrior against Honkai.
However, he hesitated when killing the Herrscher that time, causing people who should not have died to lose their lives. This further changed Kevin's view of Honkai.
In meme terms, that was when Kevin began to lose it.
The destinies of the boy and girl intertwined, yet they failed to reach a beautiful ending.
No matter how many times Su Nian thought of that ending, or of Kevin's tragic character, she still found it hard to accept.
Their destinies intertwined, but fate had never been fair.
Su Nian typed another line, but this time it was not to write the direction of the story.
It was only that fate had never been fair.
An ordinary high school student had been swept along by fate and pushed into the position of savior, bearing the hopes of an entire era.
One person bore everything. One person abandoned everything.
A common dream, unaware this body was bound, stood at the cusp of fate's storm.
Wielding a flaming sword, he burned all things; ice hid in his heart, freezing the feelings of the world.
As a warrior bearing the Insignia of the Savior, he was the one who would cross beyond The End.
Savior—Kevin.
This passage would serve as the end of his youthful days, and as the prologue to the story of Kevin, Savior and first among the Thirteen Heroes of Fire.
Su Nian stopped writing for the moment and sighed.
Seeing those words, everyone was stunned for a while.
The enormous amount of information was even more baffling than the previous mentions of the various Honkai Outbreaks.
But those who had been watching Su Nian's livestream thought about it briefly and immediately understood.
It connected. This passage connected with the setting he had just written.
The man who bore two eras upon the Insignia of the Savior!
Was all of this within your plan?
That sudden final passage caught them completely off guard.
It could be written like this?
The doggerel-like lines were not particularly outstanding on their own.
But the amount of information they contained was truly considerable!
Otto could see it. Those words summarized Kevin's entire life.
Both the parts that had been written and the parts that had not were all contained within them.
They could absolutely serve as a summary of Kevin's character at the very end of the story.
Yet this was only the beginning.
He had not even paused before writing down those lines.
Could Su Nian's brain truly be some kind of supercomputer?
Creating while maintaining control over everything—at such a young age, she already possessed this level of ability!
Even a genius and old fox like Otto would have needed to deliberate before writing such a story without any preparation.
And he could not casually decide on the ending either. If he settled it this early, even Otto himself might make major revisions later.
The time wasted on that could very well become the cause of defeat.
"Even an experienced creator could not possibly achieve this."
"But Su Nian dared to write it this way."
"Since we entered Su Nian's livestream, she has not even lifted her head. She has remained immersed in her creation the entire time."
"This kind of ability is truly precious."
Her ability to conceive and create stories made Su Nian seem born for this line of work.
Otto could hardly imagine what Su Nian would achieve in the future. Securing an excellent ranking in this New Youth Creation Competition was practically guaranteed.
Her future was limitless.
Otto was already considering recruiting Su Nian into Schicksal.
At this stage, Schicksal truly lacked people with this kind of talent.
No, it was not only Schicksal. Organizations around the world were desperate for talent in this field.
Once the first day of the competition ended, he would immediately seek Su Nian out privately to discuss it.
Huh? The judge gave such high praise? This was my first time seeing anything like this after watching for so long.
Don't question it. The judging panel this time was ten times more impressive than the last one.
If it were me, I'd be excited too. Do you understand the value of pulling an S on a single draw?
No, it felt more like graduating in five pulls.
The former Schicksal Archbishop looking like this was truly incredible. Su Nian would soon reach the peak of her life.
Bro, please don't take off. I'm getting jealous.
Would Honkai descend upon the world if there were one more talented person like me?
"Attention, all contestants. The preparation period has ended. To prevent contestants from mismanaging their time, please complete the basic setting and outline of your story within the next eight hours."
"This announcement will be repeated once every two hours."
Su Nian raised her head tiredly. There was a broadcast speaker at the edge of the studio, and it was currently playing the reminder.
The competition was only officially beginning now.
But for Su Nian, she had already gotten far ahead of the others and was somewhat tired.
Constant thinking was a burden for anyone.
She needed to stop for a while and rest before she could maintain her condition.
After the preset announcement played automatically, not only did the contestants become anxious, but the judges and hosts still on site were also roused.
They had wanted to remain in Su Nian's livestream and watch until she fully wrote and perfected the complete story.
They wanted to see those drafts as soon as possible!
But Su Nian had stopped to rest now, which was truly regrettable.
Still, it was indeed time to check on the other contestants and see whether anyone else was as brilliant as Su Nian.
"Shall we take a look at Contestant No. 31 next?"
"No rush, no rush. There will be a work presentation segment during the final stage of the competition."
"Once Su Nian finishes writing the story, we can ask Kevin to read it aloud with feeling. That will definitely be interesting."
Guiding the audience, the large screen switched to Contestant No. 31. Contestant No. 31 was Rita Rossweisse, recommended by Otto.
Genius young beauty writer had always been a gimmick capable of attracting attention.
Who would not like a woman who was both talented and extraordinarily beautiful?
And that was merely Rita's most insignificant advantage.
