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

A sharp cat's cry suddenly rang out, followed by Pardofelis's scream.

Pardo scratched to the left, bit to the right, making Pardofelis roll on the ground.

Theresa: "Pardo, she's the leader of your Fire Moth, show some respect. And Kevin the security guard is now a high-ranking official at our St. Freya Academy!"

Eden: "You... really let him guard the gate?"

Fu Hua: "To be precise, we couldn't stop him, and Kevin the puppet seemed to have a strong obsession with the gate. After checking our student IDs, he went on duty."

Kiana: "Two seconds of silence for the next batch of freshmen at our school."

Bronya: "Idiot Kiana, you should worry about yourself. If you sneak out by climbing the wall in the future, you'll have more than just the Director and Teacher Himeko to deal with."

Kiana: "I, I'm not scared!"

That's what she said, but Kiana was still a little nervous.

After all, if she dared to climb the wall again, she might have Fehu pointed at her neck the moment she landed, forcing her to climb back over.

Damn it, is escaping class at St. Freya Academy really a battle of wits with the leader of World Serpent?!

What kind of treatment is this for a Herrscher!!!

Kiana: "Besides, Kevin the puppet doesn't look like much. He couldn't even catch Xiao Ran, how could he catch me?"

Bronya: "I don't understand either why a puppet with one percent of Kevin's Power can't climb over the wall."

Raiden Mei: "Maybe he can't double jump?"

Himeko Murata: "Impossible. It must be that Xiao Ran is already skilled, after all, she could go toe-to-toe with the Kevin puppet."

Theresa: "I wonder if there will be other puppets. If I were the Director, I would definitely be much cuter than Xiao Ran and Kevin."

Kiana: "Auntie, why do you still want a puppet at your age? Isn't that something we like? Even if there are, my puppet should be the cutest."

Theresa: "Ki-a-na! Do you know how many ways Judgement can be used?"

The Director's brow twitched, and she even took out Judgement without a sound.

With one Judgement, she could shatter Honkai Beasts! If Kiana dared to spout nonsense again and slander the innocent and cute beautiful girl Theresa, she would disown her own kin for the greater good.

Kiana: "Director, I know I was wrong... Look, a new puppet has appeared!"

At Kiana's words, everyone turned their attention back to the screen. Sure enough, other puppets appeared.

[In the screen, Xiao Ran dodged Kevin's interception with a wall-climbing technique. She leaped from the wall but landed on a doodle drawn by some damn person.

Xiao Ran stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Wow, summoning successful!"

Moon Chaser next to her had stars flashing in her eyes, holding the tools she used for her scribbles.

"Moon Chaser, you're doodling in the academy again!"

Teacher Crimson Bird ran over. Just as she caught the troublemaker Moon Chaser, she discovered that Xiao Ran, whom she hadn't seen in years, had come to visit the school.

As the two friends reunited, Teacher Crimson Bird showed an unprecedentedly happy smile, making Moon Chaser stand at attention with a bucket of water over her head. She then went to catch up with Xiao Ran.

"Xiao Ran, why did you come so suddenly? You didn't even tell me."

"I was just passing by and decided to come see you. Speaking of which, the academy festival is coming up soon. Back when we were still studying, it was much livelier than now."

"Yeah, thinking back to those times..."

Xiao Ran shrugged helplessly, and Teacher Crimson Bird joined her in reminiscing.

—The Puppet Academy Overlord Battle!

The academy grounds were filled with Mortals back then. Many students rose up to resist, with Xiao Ran and Teacher Crimson Bird being among the best.

Xiao Ran took down one Mortal with one slash.

Teacher Crimson Bird was not to be outdone. She let out a roar with her megaphone, which resulted in countless Mortals swarming her and beating her down.

Xiao Ran fought like a one-woman army, quickly defeating the minions bullying Teacher Crimson Bird.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Xiao Ran asked, holding her wooden sword, completely unaware of the danger lurking nearby.

"Watch your back."

Five Honkai Beasts suddenly appeared and exploded behind Xiao Ran, the intense flames sending her to the hospital.

When she woke up again, she was lying in a hospital bed.

"You're finally awake!"

Teacher Crimson Bird grabbed Xiao Ran's hand, guiltily saying, "If it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't have been so seriously injured."

"Right, I've cut up all the apples. Here, I'll feed you."

Filled with guilt, Teacher Crimson Bird was determined to make amends for her mistake and yanked off Xiao Ran's oxygen mask.

Such a suffocating move made it hard not to suspect that her intentions were more than just repaying a debt.

She truly repaid kindness with enmity!

The color of Xiao Ran's face shifted from white to purple. After a few beeps from the heart monitor, he completely passed out.

"What's wrong with you? Hey, wake up!"

Teacher Crimson Bird grabbed Xiao Ran by the neck and shook him several times, just to make sure the person was truly dead.

The scene ends here.]

Kiana: "Pfft, Hahahaha, what kind of World Bubble is this? Aren't these puppets here to be funny? They pulled out the oxygen tube while trying to save him, hahaha."

Bronya: "Bronya is very shocked. This kind of operation is impossible to learn."

Chapter 52: Chakravartin Joins the Death Space

Elysia: "Although it's magical, seeing Kevin working as a security guard makes anything seem normal."

After seeing Teacher Crimson Bird pull out the oxygen tube, everyone suddenly felt that no absurd thing was absurd anymore.

Let alone Kevin going to work as a security guard, even if he got bored one day and went to the Puppet Academy to direct traffic, it wouldn't be surprising.

Pardofelis: "This kind of world is so interesting. It would be great if I could go play for a few days. I promise I won't steal too many things."

Theresa: "If possible, please help me pack a puppet, and say I'll provide food and lodging. Thank you!"

Fu Hua: "Director, surely no one would abandon their original world just for a bit of gluttony?"

Himeko Murata: "Theresa, your behavior can be described as human trafficking. Be careful, Kevin the puppet might come to arrest you later."

Kiana: "Three years to start, up to life."

Theresa: "I, I was just kidding. What if a puppet is willing to leave? Like, too many meat buns to eat, or too much bitter gourd juice to drink."

Grassworm couldn't help but roll her eyes at her own Auntie. Did she think everyone was as gluttonous as her, Kiana?

Trying to lure a puppet with mere meat buns? You must be daydreaming.

Elysia: "No Honkai rampages, no funny worlds where death is a joke, even the art style of the Mortals is so amusing. It's making me want to support Pardo's suggestion."

Pardofelis: "See, I told you, Sister Elysia. We definitely have to go stock up when we have the chance."

The Flame-Chasers had already personally experienced how cruel Honkai was in the Previous Era.

Now, seeing the art style of the Puppet Academy, they couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy. If they lived in a world where Honkai didn't happen, or where Honkai didn't lead to death and despair, their destinies would have been different, wouldn't they?

Unfortunately, there are no 'what ifs' in the world.

They had already accepted the failure of the Previous Era, and all they wanted now was to mend some of the regrets in their hearts.

Regret over the brilliant civilization that ended so abruptly in Honkai.

[The quiz begins.]

[As everyone knows, Apponia is a friend acknowledged by Chakravartin. So, how does the hospitable and polite Chakravartin evaluate his friend?]

[A: Apponia, no lewdness.]

[B: Get lost, Apponia.]

[C: Apponia is the cutest in the world.]

[D: Slam that arrogant face to the ground, and break her enviable hands! Watch them be completely stained a dirty red!]

Kiana: "Chakravartin? Who is Chakravartin?"

Pardofelis: "I know! I know him! Chakravartin is the Brother Jie I always mention, the sixth Flame-Chaser."

Raiden Mei: "The one you're always talking about, Pardo? The Flame-Chaser you absolutely can't provoke?"

Kiana: "Even Pardo is so scared of him. He must be a Flame-Chaser with a terrible temper, maybe he even attacks his own people."

Fu Hua: "Uh, actually, it's quite common for us to fight among ourselves in Fire Moth."

Fu Hua's memories contained more than one record of similar incidents, not including those she had deleted.

Elysia: "How should I describe Chakravartin? I can't quite put it into words right now. You can probably understand him as someone carrying endless rage, like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment."

Himeko Murata: "That's a very vivid description."

Theresa: "No way, someone with such a bad temper has friends? Aren't you afraid he'll set himself on fire by accident?"

Pardofelis: "Brother Jie and Sister Nia... they should be friends, right?"

Elysia: "At least Chakravartin himself thinks so, and he acknowledged it."

Bronya: "So, the answer should be between A and C, right?"

With the information received, Duck Duck made the most rational and authoritative analysis.

Since he is a rare "friend" within Fire Moth, Chakravartin must treat Apponia differently than others.

Pardofelis: "Wait, how did you guys eliminate options B and D?"

Theresa: "Isn't it obvious? Who would treat their friend so violently?"

Raiden Mei: "It's unreasonable. It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it."

Kiana: "This kind of elimination method that even a second grader could do, you can rule out those two unnecessary answers without even thinking. What's up with Pardo?"

Pardofelis: "...As long as you're happy."

Oh my god, was her previous explanation of Chakravartin not detailed enough?

Were the "friends" Chakravartin mentioned the same as friends in the normal sense?

And what's with that option for Apponia, the one that says "cannot be lewd"?

Doesn't anyone know Apponia is a devout nun, not to be defiled by even a speck of dust?

When did she ever act lewd?

Kiana: "Now that you know Chakravartin and Apponia are friends, this question is a no-brainer, right? If you don't pick, the reward is mine."

Eden: "I choose D, the last one."

The Flame-Chasers of Fire Moth knew a thing or two about the relationship between Chakravartin and Apponia, and considering their personalities...

Anyone who knew Chakravartin could easily guess the answer.

Correct Answer.

Kiana: "Huh? What?"

Raiden Mei: "!!!"

Theresa: "You guys in Fire Moth call that friendship? The cultural differences are way too big!"

Everyone was so startled they quickly ran back to re-examine the answer.

—Tearing off Apponia's hands and throwing them into blood, watching them get dyed a dirty red.

Good grief, good grief, isn't the relationship between friends in Fire Moth a little too harmonious?!

Pardofelis: "Haha, the things between Brother Jie and Sister Nia aren't something you can explain clearly in a short time."

Raiden Mei: "Good thing I don't know Chakravartin. We're not close."

Death Space expanded. Congratulations to Chakravartin for joining.
