Chapter 106 Simulation Training?
……
One week after Seele's disappearance.
Even though it's already autumn, the weather is still muggy, and it looks like it'll rain soon.
"With the convection of cold and warm fronts, there will definitely be a heavy rain. This is why seasonal changes are often marked by rain and snow."
Yun Fuyu was casually reciting some high school geography trivia when she suddenly heard a very low "Huh?" She immediately looked around in confusion to find the source of the sound. But all she saw was Xi'er's innocent, puzzled gaze, and there was no one else around.
"Are you hallucinating again?..."
He always felt that there was something slightly strange about his condition, which seemed to have started after he became a fusion warrior. He often heard some strange mutterings.
Seele nudged him: "Shall we continue?"
Yun: "That's all, I'm done."
"……Oh."
Seele remained uninterested throughout.
Yun Fuyu could sense her unusual behavior, but she also knew why—she had promised to confess her feelings, but a week had passed and there was still no sign of it.
Well, there's no way around it. Confessing your feelings always requires choosing the right moment; it's not something you can just do whenever you want, no matter what. Especially in a situation like theirs where both sides have a tacit understanding, it's even more important to choose the right time to touch their hearts.
After walking a little further, they entered the simulation training room for the first squad together.
Alicia kept her promise; she really went to Mei and begged her to leave Seele on the Mu Continent. During those days, Mei's gaze towards Yun Fuyu was strange.
Since Yun Fuyu had also sided with Mei, she tried her best to remove Xier's name from the list of the fifth squad, and then they would study together with Kevin.
But what could Kevin, this taciturn guy, possibly teach? He thought about it seriously for a long time and finally decided to proceed step by step, continuing to let Yun Fuyu and Xier train every day until Yun Fuyu completely mastered his power and Xier could defeat an Emperor-level Honkai Beast.
This goal isn't too far or too near; it'll be enough for Kevin to manage for a month or two.
As I stepped into the training room as usual, after a brief period of darkness and loss of sensation, all sensation gradually returned to my body.
The gray city ruins came into view, and the surroundings were quiet, without the sounds of Honkai Beasts causing destruction or roaring.
It seems this is a mission-based training exercise, and it might even be an online version.
Yun Fuyu was not surprised. She first checked her equipment to make sure it was complete, and then took out her communicator to see if there was any intelligence.
As the messages scrolled by, the general situation became clear: this was the central area of a certain Great Collapse, and Yun Fuyu's mission was to find the Herrscher and delay their actions. As for which specific Great Collapse it was, it was marked with an asterisk, meaning it could be a replay of history or a randomly simulated scenario that didn't exist in reality.
In the "mission storyline", he got separated from his teammates and was then attacked by Honkai Beasts, causing him to fall into a coma. He has just woken up.
"This feels so familiar..."
Never mind, let's see if there are any teammates around.
He gripped the weapon in the most comfortable position, then raised the detector and began to explore forward along the indistinct path.
Only three to five minutes had passed when the sky suddenly darkened. Yun Fuyu looked up and saw an enormous Honkai Beast spread its two wings and soar past. Its figure flashed by in an instant, incredibly fast, and it probably didn't even notice the tiny humans beneath its feet.
After comparing the directions, Yun Fuyu headed in the direction that the flying Honkai Beast had gone.
Soon, the communicator beeped, detecting that someone else wearing a communicator was nearby. Naturally, it was Seele who joined them.
The little girl was wearing camouflage clothing, carrying a large military bag, with a small bag slung around her waist, and holding a large detector in her hand, making it seem as if every step she took was difficult.
Yun Fuyu offered to help Xi'er with some of the weight. She gave him a subtle look and gently shook her head in refusal.
Alright, let's keep moving forward.
There wasn't much communication along the way. Firstly, completing the training mission was the priority, and secondly, the scenarios in the simulation room were recorded and backed up for future research. They couldn't very well let others study how they dated, could they? ...
Afterwards, according to the map, they traveled a full ten kilometers, from the edge of the city to the central area. The surroundings were no longer silent, but filled with the sound of rushing-class Honkai Beasts flapping their wings, and occasionally there were gunshots, explosions, and roars.
There is likely a battle taking place ahead.
A soft, sweet voice sounded in my ear: "Yun... Fuyu, what should we do?"
As expected of my Xier, her voice is so beautiful.
Perhaps this is what Yun, blinded by love, thought of first.
Coming to his senses, he pondered for a moment, and finally, relying on his superior strength, said, "Let's get closer and observe, since we still don't have enough information."
Little Seele frowned slightly: "But it could be a Herrscher there, or it could be that giant Honkai Beast that floated by in the sky before. It's too dangerous."
When she said "Great Honkai Beast," she exaggeratedly stretched out her arms and made a very big gesture, which looked super cute.
She got a little too caught up in the acting. Even if Seele herself didn't portray the strength that well, everyone thought that Yun was already at the level of a Herrscher.
He shook his head: "Don't worry! Please trust me, I will definitely protect Seele!"
"Uh... okay, alright..."
Sometimes he would say something really inspiring for no reason, but Seele had no idea why he was so inspiring... It couldn't be because of her, could it?
Looking down at her heels, Seele realized she was completely out of sight. (In contrast, Alicia or Eden, when looking down, couldn't even see their toes.)
They trudged on for a while longer, but Seele was carrying so much that she was finding it increasingly difficult to breathe. Think about it: a fourteen-year-old girl carrying so many supplies and equipment, walking over ten kilometers in just two hours—even few adult men could do that, right?
This is thanks to the Honkai energy that strengthens the body; otherwise, there was a risk of being overburdened and dying.
Yun Fuyu reached out again, indicating that he could help Xier with some of the weight. This time, she stood still for a few breaths before agreeing to his request.
Yun's superhuman strength is practically a cheat code. He easily hoisted Xier's bag onto his back, walking ahead with lightning speed, while casually exchanging a few words:
"The personnel sent by the Firemoth were too scattered, and I accidentally got separated from the group. After that, I was chased by a Honkai Beast and barely managed to escape. When I woke up after being unconscious, you happened to be nearby."
Seele followed behind him, head down, and said, "What a coincidence, Seele is about the same age as you."
He turned around: "Then, shall we keep this a secret from each other?"
"?"
Seele looked at him with some doubt, then nodded in the end: "Okay, Seele will keep it a secret."
Yun Fuyu remained silent, turned around, and continued on his way.
