Has Hua Gone Dark?
Elysia: "Bishop Otto actually dared to ambush our Hua. I'm writing this down in my little notebook."
Pardofelis: "Hua, you died such a miserable death! How could you get ambushed?! Don't worry, Sister Elysia will definitely avenge you."
Kiana: "Pardo, shouldn't you be saying that you'll avenge her at a time like this?"
Pardofelis: "No, you can't count on me. That Otto guy looks really dangerous, and he can even use Void Archive. There's no way I could avenge Hua."
Raiden Mei: "Void Archive... is that the golden gun-shaped weapon from earlier?"
Hua: "Not exactly. Void Archive can mimic other weapons, even Divine Keys. You can think of it as a knockoff Herrscher of Reason."
Bronya: "Oh, really?"
Only now did Bronya learn that the Herrscher of Reason's power could mimic other Divine Keys.
If that was the case, why would she still ride a motorcycle in the future?
Wasn't Star of Eden good enough?
Wasn't Fehu good enough?
Wasn't Judah good enough?
Could it be that Bronya was too weak to construct other Divine Keys?!
Elysia: "Helping the Herrscher of the Void awaken was one thing, but he even ambushed our Hua. Otto really is detestable. We can't just let this go, can we, Chakravartin?"
Chakravartin: "A traitor to humanity, a disgusting wretch. He deserves to die!"
Raiden Mei: "At times like this, you can really tell how gentle Chakravartin is."
Kiana: "When we catch Bishop Otto, we'll lock him in a little dark room, shut the door, and unleash Chakravartin!"
Chakravartin: "Hah?!! Herrscher, do you want to die once first?!"
The irritable Chakravartin was online, throwing out threats.
If Death Space had not restricted Chakravartin's movements, St. Freya Academy, that Far East Demon Cave, would have long since been purged for the people.
Bronya: "No need to rush. According to the system's earlier Q&A, the Class Monitor will definitely get her payback!"
Kiana: "Punch Schicksal Headquarters, kick World Serpent, and go fifty-fifty against Kevin!"
Raiden Mei: "Beat up Durandal, crush Anti-Entropy, and tear weak Herrschers apart with her bare hands!"
Bronya: "Sister Mei, aren't the three of us Herrschers too?"
"Tear weak Herrschers apart with her bare hands"—Bronya felt that line was not very friendly toward the three of them.
Since when had the illustrious Big Three, the Herrschers of the Void, Thunder, and Reason, been called weak Herrschers?
Kiana: "It's fine. The Class Monitor knows us so well, so she definitely won't beat us up!"
Raiden Mei: "That makes sense."
Theresa: "But didn't Grandpa take Hua down? Even if she wasn't completely dead, she should have been seriously injured. How could she still have such powerful combat strength?"
Pardofelis: "Someone must have helped Hua heal her body."
Hua: "If I recovered to my peak condition, I might be able to accomplish something similar. But setting aside Sword Heart, simply recovering my body would be very difficult."
Hua thought for a long time, but she could not figure out who had treated her injuries.
Anti-Entropy? Their technology had not reached that level yet.
St. Freya Academy?
No, no, no. With Theresa's intelligence, if their medical conditions were really that good, Bronya's legs would have been cured long ago.
Kiana: "It is strange. But it couldn't have been Otto who helped heal her, right?"
Bronya: "Impossible. He was the one who seriously injured the Class Monitor. He might even have wanted to kill her, so why would he help treat her?"
Even without using one's brain—even with Theresa's intelligence—anyone could guess that it was definitely not Otto.
Just as everyone was full of doubts, the screen changed once more.
On the screen, a towering, futuristic structure stood in the center of a plaza. Durandal, Schicksal's Strongest Valkyrie, was locked in fierce combat with someone.
Fire and explosions blasted through the top of the tower. Durandal was sent flying backward, rolling across the ground several times before slowly steadying herself with her lance.
She was clearly no match for that person.
The person fighting Durandal was shrouded in crimson mist. Dark colors obscured her completely, making it impossible to see her face.
But anyone who had spent a long time with Hua and understood her well enough would definitely be able to tell that this person was Hua!
Hua threw a punch at the barrier. Two bursts of light erupted at once, swallowing Schicksal Headquarters whole.
Kiana: "Holy shit! For a moment, I almost didn't recognize that person as the Class Monitor?!"
Pardofelis: "What's going on, what's going on?! Hua, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly become so scary?"
Forget Kiana and the others—no one present was willing to believe that the pitch-black figure was Hua.
Her posture was like that of a madwoman, like a demon, inspiring fear and unease in everyone... except Chakravartin, of course.
Chakravartin: "Hahaha! Hua, have you finally gone mad too? Fight like a beast, throw punches like a beast! Come, let us continue the battle we never finished. Let the flames devour everything!"
Elysia: "Chakravartin, stop causing trouble. Something is wrong with Hua."
Chakravartin: "It doesn't matter. Whether she is Hua or not, she deserves to die!"
Hua: "No, Chakravartin. I don't want to fight you."
At that moment, the Immortal Crimson Bird was also sorting through her thoughts.
Impossible. That person was far too unfamiliar. She was nothing like herself.
Hua even wondered if she had been corrupted by Honkai and become a Herrscher, which was why she was destroying everything without restraint.
But on second thought, there was no way she could ever become a Herrscher!
Theresa: "It looks like this was definitely Grandpa's fault. After Hua suffered that backstab, she began to go dark and wreak havoc at Schicksal Headquarters."
Bronya: "She picked up the strongest Valkyrie, Durandal, and beat her up directly. The Class Monitor after going dark is exceptionally violent."
Hua: "I-Is that what happened?"
To be honest, that explanation really did make some sense. Hua herself believed more than half of it.
She had been shot in the head. It would not be strange if she woke up and went dark, right?
Kiana: "Although the Class Monitor is terrifying after going dark and is wrecking Schicksal Headquarters, why does thinking about Otto backstabbing her earlier feel so satisfying?"
Pardofelis: "Me too, me too! Go, Hua! Take down that lance-wielding woman!"
Elysia: "Looks like the Thirteen Flame-Chasers won't even need to vent our anger for her. With Hua's abilities after recovering, she can completely turn Schicksal Headquarters upside down."
After recovering her strength, dark Hua was like a god of slaughter. Gods would fall before her, Buddhas would fall before her.
Durandal was completely being beaten down, and at least half of Schicksal Headquarters would probably be demolished.
Bronya: "Bishop Otto basically made himself a new father. This is so satisfying to watch. What was that saying again?"
Kiana: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never bully the poor youth!"
Raiden Mei: "When the dragon finally reaches the water, I'll make Schicksal's waters flow backward!"
Elysia: "Mei, it has to be you!"
With that one line alone, Raiden Mei was starting to show a few chuunibyou tendencies. No wonder the future her on the screen could say all those chuunibyou lines.
Bronya Had Her License Revoked
Hua: "Ahem, don't misunderstand. That was me after going dark. Normally, I still intended to confront Otto with an attitude of friendly discussion and settling old scores."
Bronya: "Just answer this: did you enjoy watching it, Class Monitor?"
Hua: "Tch, it was incredibly satisfying!"
She had just been backstabbed and was full of pent-up anger. Now that she saw herself displaying such overwhelming power, how could she not be happy?
It was fortunate that she had gone dark. Otherwise, with Otto's scheming nature, he might really have found a way to persuade her.
Hua almost wanted to thank that dark version of herself.
Pardofelis: "All of a sudden, I'm kind of looking forward to seeing Hua fight Boss Kevin. Just thinking about it gets me excited."
Elysia: "That would definitely be a breathtaking battle!"
Kiana: "Uh, I think they're already fighting."
The screen shifted, directly arriving at the center of a battlefield. Kevin held Fehu in his hand, engaged in a rare fierce battle.
"Friend or enemy? Choose!"
Fehu unleashed scarlet flames, shattering the surrounding buildings. Blazing fire wrapped around the entire space, and scorching heat churned through the air, yet it could not harm the person within.
"Everything in the past ended only in failure."
"Those you wished to protect gradually faded away as well."
Black feathers drifted down from the sky, enveloping Kevin. Hua crouched atop Kevin's greatsword, her ghostly silhouette resembling a fiend.
"Only regret carved into the bone can give rise to growth that transforms one's very being!"
The scattered feathers turned into blades and rained down like droplets. Kevin's eyes widened in surprise at Hua's strength.
And Durandal was even less of a match. Even her stand was smashed to pieces.
Kiana: "Strong! She's seriously strong! The Class Monitor looks terrifying after going dark, but she's just too powerful!"
Fighting Kevin, beating Durandal.
Normally, it was enough just to imagine something like that. Who would have thought someone could actually do it?
The strongest combat forces of Schicksal and World Serpent—she beat them whenever she wanted, without showing the slightest mercy. As expected of you, dark Immortal Crimson Bird!
Pardofelis: "Sister Hua is mighty, Sister Hua is amazing! That's it, show them the deterrence of our Thirteen Flame-Chasers!"
Bronya: "Your Fire Moth's deterrence is ignoring even your boss's dignity and charging in headfirst?"
Pardofelis: "W-Well, I'm just helping Hua build up her momentum. It's rare to see her fight so happily. She's really gotten into it."
Kiana: "You can tell. If she hadn't gotten carried away, she definitely wouldn't have challenged Kevin to a solo fight."
Hua: "..."
Getting carried away and fighting too hard... that was really embarrassing.
Besides, that was what the dark version of her did. What did it have to do with Hua?
Theresa: "I can understand beating up Durandal. She's Grandpa's subordinate, so it makes sense for you to seek revenge on her. But why wouldn't you spare even Kevin, Hua? You were colleagues, after all. Isn't it bad to fight each other?"
Hua: "Maybe... I just got carried away?"
Raiden Mei: "You went to find Bishop Otto to get revenge, got carried away without noticing, and then, because you didn't have enough fun fighting, went to challenge Kevin to a duel? As expected of you, Class Monitor."
Kiana: "If I got carried away, I'd be even more arrogant than the Class Monitor..."
Forget tearing down Schicksal Headquarters and beating up Durandal.
Kiana felt that if she had the strength to overturn the three major factions by herself, she would slap even a dog she saw by the roadside twice.
Elysia: "She has fought Kevin and beaten Durandal. Next, Hua will tear a Herrscher apart with her bare hands. I really want to know which lucky person will receive that special attention."
Bronya: "Elysia, I suspect you're taking a jab at us."
Theresa: "No, St. Freya Academy is a united and loving collective. How could internal conflict possibly happen here? We aren't Fire Moth."
Pardofelis: "But as far as I know, the only Herrschers from your era are you girls."
Theresa: "..."
Well damn. After thinking for one second, the Headmistress realized that it really fucking was true.
Was this why they were called the Far East Demon Cave?
Raiden Mei: "Don't look at me. By then, Kevin should have talked me into joining World Serpent. There's no way she'd fight me."
