Honkai Exposed, Iconic Scenes of the Elysian Realm at the Start

The two began their usual bickering about whose highlight moment was more impressive. They didn't mention Bronya modifying her motorcycle again.

Meanwhile, in the scene, Bronya was piloting the Heavy Machinery Rabbit, engaging in a decisive battle with a Honkai Beast.

[In the scene, the Honkai Beast's massive claw slammed down, shattering the ground. Bronya, however, lifted the motorcycle's front, skillfully evading the attack with her superb riding skills.

Following that, Bronya used the Herrscher of Reason's authority to create countless platforms, riding the Heavy Machinery Rabbit across them at high speed.

At a speed so fast it couldn't get any faster, the Honkai Beast's attacks never landed.

No matter how it tried to block, Bronya always managed to break through its encirclement.

Constant evasion wasn't a good strategy, so Bronya summoned countless Keys of Truth.

To buy time during the construction of the buffer, Bronya pushed her speed to the limit, causing the Heavy Machinery Rabbit to display red warning indicators.

"One, two..."

The Heavy Machinery Rabbit's alert ended, and it transformed into a beam of light, charging towards the Honkai Beast.

In almost an instant, before the Honkai Beast could even prepare a defense, it was hit by the Heavy Machinery Rabbit's fierce charge.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"

The motorcycle's engine sound had been constant from the beginning. The high-speed Heavy Machinery Rabbit pierced through it in a single blow.

Afterward, Bronya jumped off the vehicle to decelerate, and the Heavy Machinery Rabbit deactivated its motorcycle mode, reverting to its original form.

Her silver hair cascaded down. Bronya, now wearing a long dress, looked like a noble and cool princess.

The Keys of Truth, which had been waiting in the sky for orders, had finished loading and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Honkai Beast's remains.

"Seele, Bronya is coming to find you."

The Honkai Beast's body dissolved into light. Bronya gently touched the arm of the Heavy Machinery Rabbit, as if sensing her lover's presence.

The scene ended here.]

Chapter 40: Who Will Revoke Bronya's Driver's License First

Pardofelis: "Wow! Incredible, incredible! Bronya is actually this cool? And motorcycles can be this amazing too. I've really learned something new. I want to get one for myself someday."

Canned Food: "Meow~"

Even Pardo's Canned Food wholeheartedly agreed with her suggestion.

While Canned Food might not fully grasp Bronya's coolness, having a motorcycle would mean no more planning escape routes when stocking up.

Kiana: "Such a powerful Honkai Beast, and in the end, it was killed by Bronya's motorcycle. It must have died with regrets."

Bronya: "Now you know how powerful Bronya is. If I wasn't reluctant to, I'd build one right now."

Bronya clutched the Herrscher of Reason trial card she had for three days, feeling excited yet very reluctant.

Three days. Only three days.

Once it was used up, there would be no more.

Although they say being cool is a lifelong pursuit, and she could try to use the Herrscher of Reason's authority to repair her legs, she didn't have a Herrscher core right now. What would she do after the trial card expired?

Bronya hesitated between continuing to show off and just going all out for three days.

Kiana: "Bronya, if you're going to build one, remember to make one for me. With three days, you can make quite a few using the Herrscher of Reason's authority."

Pardofelis: "Then I want one too."

Elysia: "I want one too! The world's cutest Elysia wants one!"

Theresa: "Ahem, Bronya, how do you think the Director treats you on a daily basis?"

Bronya: "There's only one Heavy Machinery Rabbit. If you all want motorcycles, turn right, right again, and then right once more. There's a modification shop next door."

Kiana: "That's no fun. What's the point of a motorcycle that can't reach its maximum speed if it's not the Heavy Machinery Rabbit?"

Bronya: "..."

Well, Bronya could see it now.

You all don't actually like motorcycles; you're coveting the Heavy Machinery Rabbit Seele gave me!

Don't even think about it. It's impossible.

That's Seele's token of affection to me. No one else is getting their hands on it!

Fu Hua: "Putting Bronya's matters aside for now, I'm more concerned about Eden's situation. It's been a while since we heard any news. How is your plan coming along?"

Pardofelis: "Heh, don't worry, Hua. You know how capable Sister Eden is. Those who oppose her are the ones who will suffer."

[Twenty-four hours ended. The Life Coin expired.]

Fire Moth Base.

Eden, who was still contemplating how to gain complete control of the Fire Moth or how to disintegrate the high-level meetings, suddenly frowned and returned to Death Space.

Eden: "Is it already time? Twenty-four hours is really not enough. I wish I had a few more days."

Elysia: "Does Eden's tone suggest the plan didn't go smoothly?"

Eden: "Don't even mention it. Those UN higher-ups controlling the Fire Moth, you know how they are. It's not something that can be solved overnight."

Pardofelis: "Don't rush it, Eden sis. We have plenty of time anyway, let's take it slow, slow. What did the System say last time? Let's stir up some trouble quickly, and leave the rest to the Imaginary Law."

Fu Hua: "Then let's change the time next time. Altering the timeline will definitely cause a butterfly effect."

Elysia: "What kind of changes will happen? I'm so curious, I'm really, really curious!"

[Quiz begins.]

[It is well known that the Herrscher of Reason's core is a jinx that causes its host to constantly suffer setbacks. Who was the first person to revoke Bronya's driver's license?]

[A: Kevin.] [B: Thousand-Man Herrscher.] [C: Fu Hua.] [D: Rita.]

Raiden Mei: "What do you mean, the Herrscher of Reason's core is a jinx that causes its host to suffer setbacks? Is that true? How come I've never heard of it?"

Himeko Murata: "I haven't heard of it either. At least it's not in the history books."

Kiana: "So, in summary, Bronya, who was just looking cool and awesome, is now going to suffer setbacks, right?"

Bronya: "..." You're the one suffering setbacks, your whole family is suffering setbacks!

What is this System's deal? It just exposed Bronya's cool moment, finally letting her hold her head high. How can you say she's suffering setbacks before she even has time to drink a cup of tea? Are you targeting Duck Duck?!

Theresa: "Bronya, look on the bright side. Life has its ups and downs. It's just occasional setbacks; losing isn't shameful."

Fu Hua: "Yes, Bronya. Victory and defeat are common in warfare. Don't take it to heart; you'll get used to it."

Elysia: "Are you two really trying to comfort her?"

Bronya: "Bronya understands the logic, but what does the System revoking her driver's license mean? Could it be that she actually got caught by traffic police while driving?"

Kiana: "But Bronya, you're underage, do you even have a driver's license?"

Bronya: "Of course I do. This kind of thing just requires hacking into Schicksal's database and making a few adjustments."

Duck Duck nervously fumbled in her pocket.

Luckily, her driver's license was still there. Once her legs healed, she could still be the phantom fire girl speeding across the land. Replacing that thing would be a huge hassle!

Theresa: "Among the answers, there's a Herrscher, a Flame-Chaser, and Schicksal Valkyrie Rita. There isn't a single traffic cop. Who would revoke your license?"

Bronya: "Bronya thinks revoking her license is just symbolic. It probably means she was defeated."

Pardofelis: "Then the question is much simpler. Boss Kevin, Hua, Thousand-Man Herrscher, and that Rita... Who do you think Bronya can defeat?"

Fu Hua: "Uh, I don't think I would fight Bronya."

Bronya: "Then first, let's exclude Class President. If it's a choice of three... Bronya guesses it's Rita. I'll choose D!"

The other options were either the leader of the Previous Era's Flame-Chasers or a terrifying Herrscher. Bronya felt the possibility of fighting them was minuscule, so she narrowed down the answer to Schicksal Valkyrie Rita. You could say she was picking on the softest target, choosing the theoretically weakest one!

[Incorrect answer.] [Correct answer is A, Kevin.] [Bronya receives a penalty: Heavy Machinery Rabbit will be paralyzed for a whole month. The Stand User is offline.]

Bronya: "Wait, Heavy Machinery Rabbit, what's wrong with Heavy Machinery Rabbit?"

As soon as the System's penalty took effect, the Heavy Machinery Rabbit behind Bronya suddenly appeared, then collapsed on the ground, paralyzed, with occasional sparks flying. Bronya shouted at it for a long time and even shook it hard, but it didn't react at all. The phantom fire girl's motorcycle seemed to be broken.

Chapter 41: Bronya Suffers Setbacks

Kiana: "Heavy Machinery Rabbit is paralyzed. It looks like even with the Herrscher of Reason experience card, Bronya won't be able to speed anymore."

Bronya: "Not happy. Bronya is very unhappy! Just seeing the name Kevin makes Bronya's head hurt."

Who could have guessed it would be Kevin? It just had to be the leader of the Fire Moth revoking her license. Who could have predicted this? You, the leader of the Fire Moth, with the great responsibility of saving humanity and fighting Honkai head-on, instead of fighting Honkai, you're moonlighting as a security guard and revoking her license? Is bullying Duck Duck fun?

Pardofelis: "Unbelievable, it was actually Boss Kevin? So, Boss Kevin is already on the path of fighting Honkai and striking down Herrschers."

Elysia: "After all, it's Kevin. He gets restless if he doesn't kill Honkai Beasts for a day."

Eden: "Eli, it's not as exaggerated as you say. Kevin just carries too much responsibility on his own."

Elysia: "Hehe, I was just kidding."

The sprite blinked, gave Eden a cute look, and was then drawn to the scene on the screen.

[On screen, Bronya stood in front of Seele. The man before them was Kevin Kaslana, the former leader of Fire Moth.

"We meet again, Herrscher of Reason, and your successor."

Kevin crossed his arms, his calm gaze seemingly devoid of all color, showing no hint of joy or sorrow.

'He's talking to me. He can sense my presence?'

Welt, who was still connected to Bronya, was shocked. He hadn't expected to be detected by the other party before even making an appearance.

"I thought you were an apostle of Honkai, but I saw your past in that labyrinth. Your will is not a pretense; you are indeed fighting for humanity."

Kevin spoke as if ignoring the wary expressions of the three before him.

"That's why I helped that girl, hoping she could bring you to me. Fighting Honkai is our shared mission, and I have no intention of being your enemy."

Having already witnessed the pasts of Bronya and Welt, and their stance against Honkai, Kevin didn't want to resort to a massacre.

Otherwise, facing a Herrscher, he would have pronounced their death sentence the moment they met.

"Sweet talk. I won't let you leave here!"

Bronya said, shielding Seele behind her.

Whether it was because she had gained the authority of the Herrscher of Reason or because she was protecting someone important behind her, she was incredibly brave at this moment.

He's just some unknown sunny boy, after all.
