Honkai: Strijder (Honkai Impact 3 Male MC)

"Relax, control your emotions, do you want to be controlled by the power of the gem?"

"Stop babbling, just get on with it, I'm not afraid."

"If your eyelashes weren't trembling, I might have believed you."

"Why do you care about my eyelashes? Just focus on your job!"

Wendy's face turned red, unable to tell how much was due to anger and how much was due to shyness.

After all, she was a girl. The fact that such a subtle gesture as the trembling of her eyelashes was described—didn't that mean Sigurd was seriously looking at her, how could she not feel embarrassed?

"The surgical procedure is like this: use a sufficient amount of Honkai energy to extract the gem, separate the gem, use Soul Steel to isolate the power of the gem, remove the gem, and finally save your life. Do you understand?"

"You're being so vague, there's no way I can understand!"

"If I explain it too complicatedly, you won't understand anyway. You just need to know the general process."

"Anyway, let's get on with it. If I call out, I won't be a Valkyrie of Schisckal anymore!"

Wendy said disdainfully, closing her eyes proudly, even though she was firmly tied to the operating table, she acted as if she were the one in control, particularly dominant.

Sigurd raised an eyebrow.

Courage is commendable indeed. Removing the gem is equivalent to removing the Honkai energy that currently supports her special body structure, and this naturally comes with intense pain.

But the real challenge comes after removing the gem, when the mutated body loses its power and collapses from within.

That would be unimaginable agony.

Sigurd made the necessary preparations, but it might not alleviate much.

However, since the girl was so brave, there was no need to waste time on preliminary preparations. Let's just get started.

Sigurd activated a series of equipment expressionlessly.

With her eyes closed, Wendy suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

"Did you just think of something bad?"

She asked, sensing something keenly.

Sigurd replied calmly as usual:

"No. I've started."

"Wait— Aaaaahhh!!!"

A piercing scream, filled with agony, echoed throughout the entire base.

With a wooden expression, Sigurd continued to manipulate the instruments while looking at the convulsing girl on the operating table with dead fish eyes.

She rolled her eyes back, crystal-clear drool dripping from the corners of her mouth. Her body writhed and convulsed, emitting high-pitched screams of agony.

So much for not making a sound, right?

Is this it?

Sigurd pursed his lips, inserting his prepared backup plan to alleviate her pain and continued with the surgical process.

Meanwhile, in the distant Far East region, Welt met with Theresa.

"Headmistress, long time no see. It seems like you haven't grown taller at all."

"...You won't be leaving this academy today, I assure you."

"Here's the 'Homu' series anniversary commemorative artbook for you."

"Hmph! Do you think I'd like such childish things? But seeing as it's your gesture, and you must have prepared it for quite some time, I'll reluctantly accept it."

Theresa snatched the comic book from Welt's hands, flipping through it. Her eyes immediately sparkled with excitement.

"Oh, is this the excellent history teacher that the Headmistress has been so fond of? I've heard so much about you."

A lazy yet charming voice came from behind Welt, and a majestic red-haired woman entered the pavilion.

Welt turned around, looking at her, and remained silent for several seconds before sighing deeply.

"Himeko, I didn't expect you to walk down this path. I've learned about your experiences, and I regret that I couldn't be of help. I'm sorry."

Himeko Murata was taken aback.

The Welt she first met was an associate professor at Caltech, a young scholar with profound knowledge and charismatic personality.

Later, after a series of events, this professor mysteriously disappeared.

Himeko later investigated his whereabouts—the true identity of the Anti-Entropy Lord, while it was kept secret, for a bright and A-rank Valkyrie like Himeko, it was only a matter of time before she found out.

Upon arriving at St. Freya's, Himeko immediately recognized Welt from personnel files, but due to time constraints, she never got to meet him.

Regarding the stance of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, Himeko was quite open-minded, and she also trusted Welt's character. She had intended to help him conceal his identity properly, but she didn't expect Welt to openly acknowledge their relationship.

"None of your concern, probably. That's just fate, isn't it?"

Himeko Murata gave up on concealing her emotions, her eyes revealing a complex expression that eventually faded into a faint melancholy, lingering around her graceful and voluptuous figure, making her look pitifully poignant.

"No, fate is in our own hands. I don't believe that destiny is inherently tragic. If it is, I'll shatter it and rebuild everything."

Welt said calmly, extending his hand, with a blue syringe appearing on it.

"What's this?"

"Honkai Suppressor, capable of even suppressing a Herrscher awakening, it's highly effective against the Honkai Erosion. Use it when you return. Your life has just entered its best phase, and I won't let you wither away."

"...In what capacity are you saying this to me?"

"Perhaps, as an elder? After all, I am your teacher!"

Welt flashed a gentle smile, as usual, his image matching Himeko Murata's memories once again.

However, she wasn't pleased. Instead, she frowned and suddenly didn't want to say anything.

Welt, puzzled, tilted his head and gradually moved the syringe closer to Himeko Murata.

Himeko Murata stared at him, and after a moment, snatched the syringe from him and casually tucked it into her clothing.

Then, Theresa, holding the comic book, glanced at Welt and then at Himeko Murata, a large exclamation mark appearing above her head.

"Wait a minute! Do you two know each other? No, wait, how do you have something like the Honkai Suppressor? Who exactly are you!?"

"I, ah, am just an ordinary—what do you mean, who am I?"

Bang!!

Welt made a defensive move, but the lightning-fast fist easily broke through his guard, landing squarely on his cheek, sending him flying.

"Who!?"

As Welt flew backward, Theresa quickly grabbed a nearby giant cross, while Himeko assumed an attacking posture.

What they saw before them was a petite, tender girl with dazzling golden hair, shining like flowing gold.

"Anti-Entropy Lord, I never thought you'd dare to come and kidnap Lady Theresa. You're really daring!"

Durandal's elegant eyebrows furrowed, staring fiercely in the direction where Welt was sent flying.

As the dust settled, however, there was no trace of anyone in the cracked ground.

"What? It should have hit, right?"

Durandal looked around cautiously, but suddenly, a hand rested on her shoulder.

"Calm down young lady, how about taking a seat for a moment? Gravity, multiply by fifty thousand."

"Eh!!!"

Under the heavy pressure, Durandal was momentarily unable to control her body, kneeling on the sunken ground, but she gritted her teeth and glared at Welt defiantly.

Welt rubbed his sore cheek and said:

"Those who are watching from the sideline, you can come out now, let's have a face to face talk."

Welt looked up at the sky, where two graceful and beautiful figures descended like goddesses in the moonlight.

'He really turned into a woman. You're truly remarkable, Otto.'

Welt scratched his head, looking at Hera with a strange expression, and finally managed to force out a peculiar smile.
