Ability: Mental Enhancement—Conceptual Interference Type Attack Power: F~B? Defense: C Mana: S Mana Control: F Physical Ability: A Luck: A
Profile: The younger brother of Toudo Touka, Student Council President of Hagun Academy. He was once a highly anticipated A-Rank Knight and formerly ranked first in the world for mana reserves. His mana was so immense that it could not even be measured, and among all confirmed Knights, he also ranked first. However, due to
unknown reasons, he went berserk and lost control. His A-Rank Knight title was temporarily revoked, and he subsequently vanished from public view, his records sealed away in classified files. Though his A-Rank Knight title was revoked, he undeniably possessed the qualifications of an A-Rank Knight—a genius among geniuses. Admission recommended.
Blazer rankings were established to classify every Blazer.
Under the standards that had been established, Blazers were divided into six ranks: A, B, C, D, E, and F. These rankings were also used for various ability values.
A-Rank was the highest, while F-Rank was the lowest.
As for S-Rank, no S-Rank Knights existed in this world. When an S appeared in an ability rating, it did not mean it was higher than A-Rank, but rather that current instruments and methods could not measure it. It would then be designated as S-Rank.
This ranking standard applied to all Blazers.
Shinguji Kuroko looked at Toudo Miohua's entrance results and could not help but get a headache. "That brat really knew how to pick his timing to enroll."
So Shinguji Kuroko looked over the documents...
"Approved."
She stamped the papers with the seal of admission.
"Well then, let me look forward to it..." Shinguji Kuroko took a drag from her cigarette and gazed out the window.
And there was another set of documents on the desk...
Name: Stella Vermillion Title: "Crimson Lotus Princess" Age: 15 Nationality: Familiaron Empire Ability: Fire Manipulation—Natural Manipulation Type Attack Power: A Defense: A Mana: A Mana Control: B Physical Ability: B Luck: A
Profile: The second princess of the Familiaron Empire, a once-in-a-decade genius. She held the highest entrance score in Hagun Academy's history. Her overall ability values were exceptionally high and perfectly balanced, making her a pure genius and all-around fighter. Her mana reserves were also dozens of times greater than the average incoming
student's. She currently ranked first in the world for mana reserves and was therefore granted the highest Blazer rank—A-Rank.
Standing by the window, Shinguji Kuroko seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Since that brat is here, I'll assign him a room next to Kurogane's. Stella... Miohua's room... No, that won't do. Given the special nature of that brat's power... Ah... Isn't Kurogane's room missing exactly one person? Hehe."
Luo Mio stood in front of the student dormitory entrance, looked around, and said, "Whoa, the student dorms are pretty huge too. Good thing I kept it from Sis and enrolled a few days early. Otherwise, if Sis had brought me to the dorms, with a place this big, how many people would've seen us? Let's see... the dorm number is
...Building One, Room 404...?" Luo Mio looked at his room number and could not help falling into thought. "404... This room number... Forget it, whatever."
Luo Mio looked at the scenery around the dormitory and said something.
"Hey, Teacher, between St. Freya and Hagun Academy, which one is bigger?"
"Huh? You don't know? I don't believe it."
"No way, no way. The holder of a Divine Key doesn't know how big St. Freya Academy is? No way."
"Training tonight? No, no, no. I finally got away from that damn old man. I don't want to get dragged out in the middle of the night to be beaten up during training again."
As Luo Mio walked, he muttered strange things to himself and made strange gestures. If there had been more people around, he would probably have left everyone with the impression that he was sick in the head on his very first day.
The Meeting of Three
"So this is it, Room 404. But... school hasn't started yet, so there really aren't many people..." Luo Mio stood outside his room, recalling what he had seen along the way.
That was perfectly normal. Due to its system, Hagun Academy covered an area roughly equivalent to ten Tokyo Domes. There were several student dormitory buildings on campus alone.
The dormitories were sparsely populated because many upperclassmen were still on vacation. The entrance examinations had only just more or less ended, and there was still some time before the term began. Aside from a small number of upperclassmen who remained at school to train, everyone else had basically
gone home.
Therefore, when Luo Mio entered the dormitory, it was extremely quiet, and he had barely seen any students.
Opening the door, Luo Mio looked over the furniture inside. A bed sat quietly in one corner, while the air conditioner, television, and wardrobe had all been set up. The kitchen utensils were arranged and fully stocked, and the bathroom and toilet were the same. Everything was basically complete.
"Not bad, not bad. Everything's here. I'll take a shower first."
After showering, Luo Mio sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, "Come forth, Eternal Twilight Wolves."
A flash of blue light appeared, and a pair of gauntlets materialized around Luo Mio's arms. His arms were wrapped in black-and-white armguards, while a layer of dark-blue glowing patterns circled the gauntlets. A dark, butterfly-like ornament covered the backs of the gloves, and faint wolf howls could even be heard.
This was the weapon manifested when a Blazer turned his own soul into a physical form—his Device.
Swords, bows, spears, shields, blades, and countless other forms existed. Blazers used their Devices as mediums to unleash their abilities—their Blade Dance Techniques.
Luo Mio looked at his Device, and several lines of data appeared before his eyes.
"Eternal Twilight Wolves" ★★★★☆/★☆ Level 40 Blade Dance Technique Sun Chasing Shadow After activation, continuously releases shockwaves around the user, blocking all damage from the surroundings. The greater the damage negated, the greater the mana consumption. Blade Dance Technique Moon Smasher's Fang After activation, forms an irregular spectral layer of mana wolf fangs around the gauntlets. Possesses anti-magic properties. Second Form The weapon form transforms into a living Device form. Correspondingly, the abilities granted by the weapon form can only be released in the living form. Weapon Profile A "God's Throne" weapon originally created by the Schicksal Organization in the Honkai World. Its name came from Skoll and Hati, the twin wolves from Norse Mythology who pursued the sun and moon. Legend said that when they descended, they would devour the sun and moon, plunging the Nine Realms into eternal chaos. The weapon itself was forged from Soul Steel. Brought into the Chivalry of a Failed Knight World by its host, it became part of the host's soul. Because it had been forged from Soul Steel, the weapon itself had also developed consciousness.
Looking at his own data, Luo Mio could not help sighing. "In fifteen years, relying only on the Character Carrier's aptitude... Even though the Character Carrier is SS-Rank, my Device can only reach Level 40. Looks like I'll have to rely on main quest rewards if I want to keep advancing." After sighing, Luo Mio pulled up his own data again.
Luo Mio Carrier: Night Squire SS-Rank Weapon (Device): Eternal Twilight Wolves Level 40 Medals: None Basic Attributes Ability: Mental Enhancement—Conceptual Interference Type Attack Power: F~A?

Quest Reward: Eternal Twilight Wolves upgraded to Level 45. 2. Complete a battle against either Kurogane Ikki or Stella. Quest Reward: Eternal Twilight Wolves upgraded to Level 50.
"By the way, System, didn't you say you wouldn't give out any rewards? What are these main quest rewards, then?"
"Replying to Host, these rewards are issued according to the Host's own circumstances and abilities. If the Host completes a quest but fails to meet the required standard, the reward will still not be issued."
"Is that so?" Luo Mio could not help sighing. "But the top four of the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival... I might not even be able to beat them right now. I haven't beaten Sis even once." Luo Mio sprawled across the bed with his limbs spread wide.
That was only natural. Those capable of participating in the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival were undoubtedly the finest Blazers from each academy. Take Luo Mio's older sister, Toudo Touka, for example. She had reached the semifinals of last year's Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival. Her Blazer rank was B, and all her ability values were incredibly high. In particular, her Blade Dance Technique, "Raikiri," had become synonymous with her name. Her attack power stood at the absolute peak, and to this day, no one of her age had defeated her at close range.
Furthermore, as Hagun Academy's strongest student knight, she had taken part in several organizational operations and fought real criminals and Blazers. In the eyes of the higher-ups, she had even become a rising genius.
"Forget it. There's no use dwelling on this now. Teacher, I'll leave it to you."
"Mm, leave it to me," the voice in Luo Mio's heart replied.
Luo Mio shook his head, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged on the bed. A layer of white mana then emerged around his body, but it was extremely unstable. That was no surprise. The system carrier Luo Mio had bound to came from the Honkai World. In this world, the power was mana, whereas the Honkai World used Honkai Energy. When Luo Mio descended into this world, Honkai Energy had begun surfacing along with his body. But Honkai Energy was not something ordinary people could come into contact with. Once exposed to it, they would become Shiits. Although the System and Teacher had helped him suppress some of the Honkai Energy and convert it into mana, the result was that his mana became abnormally violent and difficult to control, constantly contaminating both his body and mind.
As Luo Mio delved deeper into his consciousness, his mana grew increasingly unstable. His expression became more and more twisted, sweat emerged across his forehead, and even the normally white mana gradually began turning purple. Purple lines slowly appeared across his face as well.
At that moment, a faint red glow emerged around Luo Mio's body. Its appearance gradually allowed him to relax.
Within that mana, Luo Mio sensed countless negative emotions: savagery, anger, hatred, despair, pain, collapse... every kind of negative emotion. Once these emotions sensed Luo Mio's arrival, they frantically pounced toward him, and Luo Mio could only endure them.
At the same time, feeling the Honkai Energy rushing toward him, Luo Mio felt a trace of confusion in his heart.
The Honkai Energy within him did not seem to want to burst free and contaminate the world. Instead, it seemed intent on contaminating him alone.
Luo Mio closed his eyes and cultivated the Great Void Sword Qi. Perhaps because he had chosen Fu Hua as his character carrier, Luo Mio had possessed some of Fu Hua's memories from her time as Immortal Chi Yuan ever since childhood. Among them were complete memories of it, not to mention that Fu Hua herself was guiding Luo Mio within his soul.
The Great Void Sword Qi was also known as Divine Sound. Rumor had it that it was an unparalleled martial art created by Immortal Chi Yuan of Great Void Mountain in the Divine Land.
But in truth, it was a method created by Dr. Mei during the Previous Era civilization to modify the human body. It stimulated the human brain at the subconscious level, gradually transforming the entire body into a vessel and channel for Honkai Energy. It could both increase an ordinary person's capacity to contain and use Honkai Energy while avoiding the associated risks.
To the outside world, the Great Void Sword Qi consisted of five quintessences: Heart, Form, Intent, Soul, and Divine. It was a highly refined martial art specialized in projecting true qi outward. However, the original name and incantations of the Great Void Sword Qi were obscure and awkward, extremely strange. Immortal Chi Yuan had also relied on the help of an old friend to
organize and rewrite them into the Five Quintessences using the Divine Land's traditional culture, making them more fitting to local characteristics.
Of the Five Quintessences, Heart Quintessence was the entry-level quintessence and also the most difficult one besides Divine Quintessence.
When the heart's realm merged with the lake, it became "Still Water." When the heart lake froze, it became "Stainless." When the ice in one's heart became transparent, it became "Clear Mirror." When the heart's qi became formless, it became "Great Void."
Because Luo Mio possessed Fu Hua's memories from her time as Immortal Chi Yuan, his understanding of it was exceptionally profound.
However, Heart Quintessence was fundamentally the same as Form Quintessence: it existed to allow the human body to control more Honkai Energy. Yet because of Luo Mio's own circumstances, rather than controlling Honkai Energy, it was more accurate to say he was restraining it—and not just any Honkai Energy, but the Honkai Energy inside his own body.
It was precisely because of this that Luo Mio could endure each time the Honkai within his body erupted.
Over all these years, the only time he had lost control was due to an accident when he was young. The Honkai Energy hidden deep within his body had run wild, causing him to indiscriminately destroy everything around him while unconscious.
Although it had been publicly announced that there had been no casualties, only a small number of people knew that after that rampage, Luo Mio had been subdued by one of Japan's only three Majin working together with her close friend.
The matter was then discussed with the national government. The final result was that his A-Rank Knight title would be temporarily revoked, his identity concealed from the public, and he would be placed under the guardianship of that Majin.
Fortunately, before Luo Mio became famous, the people of the country only knew that a new genius A-Rank Knight had emerged within Japan. They did not know who he was or what his name was.
Later, Luo Mio asked the System about it. Although Majin stood at the pinnacle of this world, suppressing such a massive Honkai Energy rampage was definitely not something that could be accomplished in merely a day or two.
And the thing suppressing the Honkai Energy within his body had actually been a red-and-white feather. As an old Honkai Impact 3rd player, Luo Mio naturally knew what that feather was.
