Chapter 26 Husband and Wife

(Ok i was late because i had school a whole lot of Homeworks and on Sunday we were having our family photoshoot.)

——————————

'Huh?'

Fu Hua was stunned to hear a voice out of nowhere.

'Who are you?'

'Why does she feel so familiar and... sad?' she thought to herself

It seems that she has forgotten who this voice belongs to.

[Ths quiz is over, the next one will be held in five days]

Accompanied by a curtain of white light, everyone was teleported out of the Q&A Space.

"Hmm‚ this time to quiz is shorter than the last one." Himeko picked up a can of beer on the table and took a sip with a blissful face.

"But this time we got some good rewards." Bronya said.

"That's right." Theresa nodded and looked at Fu Hua "Fu Hua, i will leave my Grandfather to you to handle."

"Ok." Fu Hua nodded absentmindedly.

"By the way, Principal Theresa, I just remembered something important." Said Mei.

"Hmm? Mei‚ what did you remember?" Hearing this, everyone looked at Mei curiously.

"I just remembered now that during the time class monitor was betrayed, The Overseer Otto said that the human beings who possess the power of the Herrscher are confirmed the be the 3rd and 4th Herrscher."

"During that time, our attention was on Kiana and we didn't pay much attention to this detail, but now that I think about it. Who is this Fourth Herrscher?"

After Mei made them remembered some important details that was easily missed. It got everyone to think.

'When did the fourth Herrscher appear?'

"Mei is right. This is a very important information. It means that the Fourth Herrscher has appeared before Grandpa had executed his plan."

Theresa frowned "But we haven't received any news about the Fourth Herrscher appearing so far, so maybe its something that happens in the future."

"Theresa, we have to strengthen our defence system as soon as the 4th Herrscher appears." said Himeko

Theresa nodded "You are right, but our main goal right now is to develop St Freya. Only then do we truly have the power to change the future."

After discussing on what to do a little more they then dispersed.

——————————

Ten minutes later, Fu Hua was walking on the path in a garden. Her she was confused‚ too many things happened today‚ even she couldn't help but felt lost.

Before today, she never thought that the human emotions would be so complicated.

In the past, She never thought Otto as a good or a bad person.

She thought that although Otto had some shortcomings, he was working hard to fight against the Honkai‚ So she supported him.

But now‚ knowing who he truly is... He is clearly a madman.

His true purpose was not to fight against Honkai but fighting against the Honkai is just one of the things to accomplish his purposes.

After seeing the man's true intentions, Fu Hua believed without any doubt that if Otto was given the choice of joining the Honkai to achieve his goal‚ then would not hesitate to join them.

This is an extremely dangerous individual, even the former scientist Mobius from the Previous Era in a certain aspects, is not as dangerous as him.

(Smebius: OMG!!!! MOBIUS!!!)

But what can she do now?

500 years ago she was critically injured and since then her strength was constantly declining.

'The broken sword Xuanyuan needs Fenghuang Down as a fuel source just to use it and with my current body, how many times can i still use it?'

Fu Hua thought about it this way, while walking around aimlessly.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Class monitor, so this is where you are!"

Fu Hua subconsciously turned around towards the voice and saw that a familiar white haired girl running towards her.

"Class monitor, you gave me a good run."

"Kiana..."

"Squad leader, what's wrong with you? Why is your face like that?" Kiana walked towards her and looked at Fu Hua with worries.

"Is...is it that obvious?" Fu Hua touched her face, she didn't know what her expression was right now.

"Well, class monitor, are you still thinking about the time Overseer Otto betraying you?"

She quickly guessed the reason for Fu Hua's bad mood.

"..." Fu Hua pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

"Class monitor, don't think too much about it, it's something that will happen in the future. Aren't all of us her and well?" Kiana smiled and patted Fu Hua on the shoulder, comforting her.

"I just...fesl sad."

Fu Hua sighed, looked up at the sky and seemed to be recalling the past.

"Maybe I really am unlucky. From the beginning, I have been experiencing all kinds of failures and betrayals."

"I should have died a long time ago, but I still survived, because it is my mission to fight against Honkai, but my failures are rarely due to Honkai and usually coming from the Humans."

"Kiana...I can't help but wonder now, can us humans really defeat the Honkai?"

Fighting against the Honkai is the only thing that is giving Fu Hua a purpose.

But after countless betrayals and failures along the way. It was Otto's betrayal that became the last straw that has crushed her hopes in humanity.

She is no longer the mighty Immortal Pheonix she used to be... now she is just a Fu Hua someone that can't change anything.

"... Class monitor, humans will definitely be able to defeat the Honkai"

Kiana looked at Fu Hua with a confused face. This was the first time she saw such an expression on Fu Hua's face.

She took a deep breath as she took Fu Hua's hand and passed the warmth of her palm to her.

"Himeko-Sensei said that even if we can't do it, as long as we don't give up and pass on this torch of hope from generation to generation, human beings will one day overcome the Honkai! Even if we meet our end‚ atleast we had a good run."

"Class monitor, I don't know what you have experienced before thjs, but I assure you that I will never betray you!"

"People have both good and evil side just as the world also has beautiful and ugly ones. Just like two face of the same coin‚ they are inseparable. Where there is light‚ there must be a shadow. The only difference is which side you want to see it."

"Class monitor, I believe that you have also received human kindness from others in your life right?"

"..."

Fu Hua looked at Kiana‚ as if she knew the girl even before she met her.

She suddenly understood why her future self choose to be by her side.

'Yes...She is right not all humans are backstabbers.'

'There are selfish people and there are the selfless people.'

'There are people who are malicious and there are those who are selfless and righteous .'

'The world was never beautiful in the first place, but there are people like Kiana who will make the world a better place.'

'Maybe... I can try to trust others again.' as Fu Hua thought.
