4 Chapter 3: Fight for a Chicken leg

Hearing the girl calling him "class monitor," Xuan paused, quickly turning away from her to extract the memories from his head, to get a basic idea of who he is.

"What's wrong, class monitor?" Kiana Kaslana curiously tilted her head to the side, seeing him abruptly turning around.

After a few moments of silence, accompanied with a sigh. "It's nothing." Fu Xuan turned back to her waving his hand, but inwardly felt a bit overwhelmed.

First, he is in the same class as Kiana Kaslana, the protagonist of this world. Secondly, he is the damn class monitor of the class! Things were already out of pocket from the start!

What's even more annoying is that his school persona is actually a silent and reserved, often solitary, depressed youth, while at home, he's like a sunshine boy with a second personality.

'Was the original Xuan an idiot before I took over?' Xuan couldn't help but think that way. The original Xuan, to him was like a blank slate, existing only for the current him to take over.

"Class monitor, here's your takeout." Kiana handed the takeout to Fu Xuan, but her eyes were fixed on the food.

"Rumble ~ Rumble ~"

"Do you want to come in and 'eat' a bit, Kiana?" Hearing Kiana's stomach growl, Fu Xuan took the takeout and extended a hand, along with an invitation to her.

"I'll pass, thank you." Kiana shook her head lightly with a flushed face, despite her words, she had already entered Xuan's apartment. 'Oh, my stomach, why are you so rebellious?'

Kiana thought before glancing over Xuan, who only shook his head. "It's okay, make yourself at home." His lips curled up slightly, but remembering his depressed youth persona, he forced his lips back down.

"Since you said so, I won't be polite then."

Kiana turned and happened to see Fu Xuan's raised lips, combined with his somewhat ambiguous face, Kiana had to admit to herself that she felt a hint of attraction, but her Mei-senpai was still more appealing.

Although Kiana had just transferred not long ago, she had heard some rumors about Fu Xuan, such as being a depressed youth, solitary, and unwilling to communicate with others, but now, seeing him, it was all lies. He was clearly easy to get along with.

"Mn…" Fu Xuan mused for a moment, before sending a telepathic message to Senti, who had gone to his bedroom some minutes ago. 'Senti. Hide your Herrscher aura or still, hide your Honkai energy.'

Receiving the telepathic message from Fu Xuan, Senti protested back, 'Why should I hide? Kiana can't defeat me anyways!'

'It's to avoid complications. Be good, you don't reveal yourself too early.' Xuan mentally sighed.

Afterall, there is a woman name Cocolia hiding around here. If any ruckus happens here, it might further complicate things.

There is also his matter, he looks like Fu Hua, and by the time Hyperion would get over here in the third collapse, when Kiana gets taken to St. Freya, she would meet the OG Hua.

"Fine, I'll do as you wish." Senti boredly replied, she wasn't interested in Fu Xuan's thoughts but cooperated nonetheless.

Kiana glanced around the room in skeptism, she was sure she sensed something wrong when she entered, but now… Now there isn't any.

"What's wrong, Kia—Miss Kiana." Fu Xuan watched as Kiana looked around his apartment, staring at her menacingly, his hand, moving to his pocket where his [Broken Ultra Stopwatch] is.

'You may be the protagonist, but currently, you're not a complete Herrsecher yet.' And besides, if she tries to do anything, he and Senti can easily jump and subdue her.

Erasing her memories is also an option.

'No, what the heck am I thinking!' But on the other hand, he didn't want to get involved with her this early. But it seems like there is no choice now.

"It's nothing, class monitor." Kiana looked towards Xuan, shaking her head, with a smile, before looking at the table. "Am I smelling barbecue?"

"Well... yes, I was planning to barbecue but didn't have all the ingredients." Fu Xuan quickly replied, running towards the dinning, clearing away the abominations he had previously cooked.

"Sis~! Come out for dinner." Fu Xuan tidied up the dining table, arranging the takeout one by one, on the table.

"I'm coming! I'm coming. Stop shouting my name so loudly." The door to the bedroom opened, as another female that looked like Xuan came out while rubbing her head, before locking gaze with Kiana.

¹Seeing Kiana too looking intently at Senti, Xuan coughed lightly. "Kiana-san, this is my older twin sister, Fu Shen."

Seeing Fu Shen, who looked exactly like the class monitor, Kiana's gaze went from her head to her chest, incredulously comparing the two and finding no difference.

"Hello, I'm a classmate of the class monitor, Kiana Kaslana." Kiana scratched her head, showing her classic smile, and introduced herself.

"Hmph~ Hello." Senti couldn't help but glare at the position where Kiana's gaze lingered, reaching out to pinch Fu Xuan's waist, causing Fu Xuan to inhale sharply in pain.

'I don't want to be your sister! Who the hell wants to be your sister!' Senti was quite displeased with the identity arranged by Xuan, expressing protest through thought communication.

'Ouch, ouch, ouch! I'm sorry, but I've already said it. Besides, we look way too alike for us to not be related. Ouch!'

'Have you forgotten that with just one word from me, I can handle everything?' Senti's mind voice was somewhat exasperated, as Xuan went silent.

'I forgot…' Xuan inwardly facepalmed, for a moment, he had forgotten what he and Senti actually were.

Seeing Fu Shen glaring at him, Kiana looked away nervously.

²Staring at the class monitor's sister's chest right after meeting isn't something a Kaslana should do. Besides that, Kiana felt something was off but she couldn't put her hands on it.

"Let's eat first before it gets cold." Fu Xuan, seeing the strange atmosphere, attempted to break the tension.

"Yeah, yeah, I agree." Kiana, hearing the invitation to eat, immediately threw her thoughts out of her mind, picked up her chopsticks, and sat on the chair ready to eat.

Seeing Kiana about to start eating, Senti also hurriedly joined in, fearing all the food being eaten up by Kiana... it seems the Kaslana family's stomachs indeed are capable.

Originally intending to savor the meal and maintain elegance, Fu Xuan abandoned the damn elegance upon seeing the food gradually disappearing.

"No one is allowed to snatch from me, the last chicken leg is mine, no one is allowed to snatch." Fu Xuan looked at the last chicken leg on the table, warily eyeing Senti and Kiana, issuing a declaration.

"Let's compete fairly, whoever gets it, keeps it." Senti didn't hesitate to counter Fu Xuan's words.

"Sen-san is right, whoever gets it, keeps it." Kiana felt the oppressive atmosphere and stared solemnly at the chicken leg. Kiana was already determined in her heart: "I, as a Kaslana, naturally deserve the last chicken leg."

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Senti was the first to wield her chopsticks, but Fu Xuan's chopsticks swiftly knocked hers away, just as Fu Xuan was about to grab it...

...Kiana, unwilling to be outdone, launched an attack on the chicken leg, only to be rebounded by Fu Xuan's counterattack, slapping her chopstick away.

In this way, a battle for chicken legs began, with an endless stream of moves, and the sound of chopsticks colliding fiercely resounded throughout the room.

³[High-dimensional observers: Are they children? Fighting over a chicken leg like this.]

Soon, the noise quieted down, as there would be only be one winner...

PS: From the Author. This is my first time writing a novel, my writing is very poor, and the story isn't good, so it needs repeated revisions. (๑＞؂＜๑.)

¹ — The "h" in the Shen is silent, so it's actually Sen.

² — From what I read here in the og, I think Senti altered her memories slightly. Because she sensed Honkai energy in Xuan's house. 

³ — Yes, this is from the original too.
