Honkai Impact 3rd: Catching the Herrscher of Sentience at the Start

At this moment, Fu Lin was blushing, pressed against the ceiling, watching as Fu Hua leisurely removed her clothes, feeling intense inner turmoil.

'Hiss! Is this something that I can see!? I'm still just a 18-year-old baby.' Fu Lin held his breath, staring unblinkingly at Fu Hua below, afraid of missing a single detail.

It wasn't until Fu Hua entered the bathroom that he finally withdrew his gaze and silently dropped to the ground.

------------------------------

"My evaluation is average, heh~ boring." Fu Lin rubbed his nose, recalling what he had just seen, and said with disinterest.

"Who's out there!" Fu Hua poked her head out, looking at the empty room and said, "Could it be that I'm being overly suspicious?"

"Luckily, I was quick; otherwise..." Fu Lin looked at Fu Hua's head peeking out and felt a lingering fear.

Until the sound of running water came from the bathroom, Fu Lin cautiously descended from the ceiling and glanced at the figure in the bathroom, his mouth unconsciously curling into a smile.

The time is up... also the stage is set.

Retracting his gaze, Fu Lin picked up a set of clothes he had just borrowed and changed into them, pausing for a moment before silently leaving Fu Hua's dormitory.

....

After exiting Fu Hua's dormitory, Fu Lin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, straightened his clothes, and leisurely strolled to admire the beautiful scenery of Saint Freya Academy.

'I wonder how Fu Hua will thank me when she sees the surprise I left for her~ Hehehe!' Fu Lin imagined Fu Hua's furious expression, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, attracting strange looks from the surrounding Valkyries.

Noticing the gazes around him, Fu Lin found it hard to keep laughing, so he cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness.

"Class monitor, I didn't expect to find you here!" Fu Lin heard a familiar voice call from behind, and when he turned around, it was none other than the carefree Kiana Kaslana.

Fu Lin asked "Kiana, is there something you need from me?"

"Tonight, I'm having a party with Mei, Bronya, and Aunt Himeko. Do you want to join us?" Kiana nervously looked at the 'Fu Hua' in front of her.

"Sure!" Fu Lin thought of Mei's cooking and agreed, internally mourning for Fu Hua 'I'll enjoy your portion, Fu Hua. Peace out!'

"Great!" Kiana excitedly grabbed 'Fu Hua's' hand and ran toward Himeko's apartment.

'Isn't it a bit wrong to treat Fu Hua as Fu Lin's substitute? Should I ask the class monitor?' Kiana thought to herself, unconsciously slowing her pace.

"What's wrong?" Fu Lin asked with concern when she saw Kiana suddenly looking down.

"Class monitor, I mean, if I invited you thinking you were someone else, would you be angry?" Kiana awkwardly glanced at the 'Fu Hua' behind her.

Fu Lin nodded and replied, "Of course I would be angry. Anyone would be upset about that."

"Let's hurry up," Kiana said, shaking her head as she pulled 'Fu Hua' along to keep running.

'Kiana wouldn't have invited Fu Hua thinking she was me, would she?' Fu Lin suddenly realized, unable to suppress a laugh. 'What would she think if she knew the real deal was right in front of her?'

But recalling Kiana from the previous parallel world, Fu Lin instinctively felt a chill, as if he was being watched.

"Bang!" Kiana burst through the door and shouted, "Mei, I brought the class monitor!"

"Kiana, be quieter when you push the door open!" Mei said, exasperated at Kiana's clumsiness.

"I was just too excited! I'll be more careful next time!" Kiana exclaimed as she hugged Mei, nuzzling into her shoulder, lost in bliss.

Bronya couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to pull Kiana away. "Silly Kiana, stop acting like a lovesick puppy."

"I don't wanna (｀へ´)! Let me go!" Kiana protested, flailing her arms, but Bronya firmly held onto her, using her Project Bunny 19C to carry her off to the living room.

"Pfft! This is so interesting" Fu Lin couldn't help but laugh at the scene.

"I'm going to cook first." Mei turned her head and saw Fu Lin nearby, her face immediately turning red as she hurried back to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Fu Lin smartly moved to the living room and watched as Kiana and Bronya played "Homu Battle."

Sitting down next to Kiana, Fu Lin quietly observed their duel with great interest, and as expected, Kiana ended up losing spectacularly.

"Ah! How did I lose again?" Kiana looked at the screen with frustration at the words "Game Over."

"Class monitor, do you want to give it a try?" Kiana asked as she handed the game controller to the 'Fu Lin' beside her.

"I'll give it a shot." Fu Lin took the game controller and shot a challenging glance at Bronya.

...

Meanwhile, the real Fu Hua...

"Ah, showering feels so good." Fu Hua dried her hair with a towel, but then her attention was caught by something on the table.

"This is Spring Vegetables!" Fu Hua tossed aside the towel and, with tears of excitement in her eyes, gazed at the jar of Spring Vegetable Pickles on the table.

She excitedly picked up the jar, and a piece of paper fell out from underneath.

"What is this...?" Fu Hua looked at the paper on the floor, feeling an ominous premonition for some reason. She nervously picked it up and read the contents, causing her veins to bulge and her face to flush red.

[Good evening, Ms. Fu Hua.

Since my clothes are slightly torn and damaged, I took the liberty of borrowing a few of your outfits. I know you'll be angry, but please don't get upset just yet, because what you find out next will make you even angrier.

"This jar of pickles is made from the vegetables you grew, Ms. Fu Hua. Consider this jar as payment for the clothes.

Your average figure has caught my attention. I recommend you try some breast enhancement massage methods!

—The Mischievous Thief (??????)?? ]

"Too much! This is too much!" Fu Hua's face flushed red as she angrily tore the paper into shreds.

She instinctively wanted to throw the Jar in her hand to the ground but managed to hold herself back.

"When I find you, you'll know the power of 'Inch Force' and 'Sword of Taixuan' (??益?)!"

With that, Fu Hua picked up a steamed bun and took a bite of the pickles, cursing under her breath as she ate.

Her remarks were somewhat lacking, repeating a few phrases while tears glistened in her eyes as she gazed at the moon.

...

"Achoo! Achoo! Someone must be missing me," Fu Lin thought, rubbing his nose.

"Class monitor, you're actually pretty impressive," Kiana complimented as she watched Fu Lin and Bronya engaged in a fierce match, evenly matched.

"Of course! I'm super amazing!" Fu Lin proudly patted his chest, only to sneeze again right afterwards.

Bronya, with a deadpan expression, said, "It seems I've finally met a worthy opponent today. Bronya will have to get serious now."

"Just as I wish," Fu Lin replied, wiping the sweat from his forehead and trying to appear calm, while mentally calling out to the Herrscher of Sentience.

"What is it?" The Herrscher of Sentience's voice echoed in his mind.

"Fu Shi, quickly lend me your powers," Fu Lin said in a coaxing tone.

The Herrscher of Sentience haughtily replied, "You think you can just borrow them? What if you deceive me?"

"A simulated core of the Herrscher of Sentience," Fu Lin immediately stated his offer.

"Deal!" After saying that, the Herrscher of Sentience transferred her powers to Fu Lin. She had no choice; he had given her too much.

"Phew, get ready to admit defeat, Bronya! You have no chance of winning now." Feeling the power, a surge of confidence rose within Fu Lin.

Channeling the Herrscher of Sentience's attitude, he silently chanted in his mind, "You've lost, you've lost, you've lost, you've lost…"

"Bronya… is Bronya really going to lose?"

"It can't be! Bronya clearly has the advantage."
