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

The screen changed, showing Fu Hua's profile on the left, with various female characters appearing on the right for comparison.

At first, all the comparisons were with well-endowed women, and everyone found it amusing but unsurprising. But then...

Everyone,〈Ssss! Now that's a true Shenzhou Tablet!〉

Fu Hua,〈Inch Force warning!〉

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

〈The class monitor actually can't even compare to Miss Lily!〉" Kiana looked at the screen, shocked, seeing Fu Hua being compared to Otto.

〈Kiana, watch your language!〉Mei reminded Kiana, who had spoken without thinking. If Archbishop Otto decided to hold them accountable...

That's right, it wasn't until Fu Hua was compared to a male figure that they realized her chest wasn't even as large as a man's pecs! It was a lifetime humiliation for Fu Hua, with only Hu Tao from the neighboring world to rival her in this regard.

Otto, "..." The real clown is me, it seems.

Fu Hua, "..." How is this thing not dead yet?

"Next, we'll take a one-minute break for commercials" said Fu Lin. There was no way he would move on to the third question so quickly; ad time was a great way to earn more from the livestream.

〈What?! There's even an ad now? The thing I hate most is when an ad pops up right when things are getting exciting!〉" Kiana complained, visibly displeased.

...

"Pffft!" x n

"Cough, cough!" x n

Everyone watching the livestream burst out laughing; some spat out their water, while others choked on their saliva. Meanwhile, Fu Hua's expression darkened even more.

〈This is basically a personal attack. I won't say another word until my lawyer gets here〉Fu Hua said, looking helplessly at Fu Lin. In reality, she didn't even know where Fu Lin was, but if she did...

"Alright! The ad is over, welcome back! Did you all miss me?" Fu Lin waved enthusiastically, full of energy.

〈...〉 The audience looked at Fu Lin, having figured out his personality by now. He loved to tease and dig up embarrassing moments — definitely someone you don't want to offend.

"Oh dear, no one paying attention to me? I'm so heartbroken! π_π" Fu Lin pretended to faint, dramatically pressing the back of his hand to his forehead.

〈Stop acting and get on with it! I'm all ready to answer the questions and get the rewards〉Kiana said confidently, eager to begin.

〈Silly Kiana, you should just give up. This time, the question is meant for Bronya〉Bronya looked at Kiana with a disdainful gaze (if she had any expression).

〈Darn it, don't underestimate me!〉Kiana stomping foot.jpg

"Please look at the question."

[Question]

[There are two legends in this world. On the boundary between life and death, two individuals endlessly jump back and forth, treating death like a game and survival like a pastime. They are known as 'Fu Push-ups' and 'Yang Sit-ups.'

Who is the 'Yang Sit-ups' referring to? ]

"Wow, that's amazing!" Paramecium shocked.jpg

"There are actually people in this world who aren't afraid of death?! Whatever, it's none of my business. I still need to focus on making money to buy that island — the kids are waiting for me." Raven popped up from lurking briefly before vanishing again.

"Fu Lin, this 'Fu Push-ups' isn't referring to that old antique, is it?" the Herrscher of Sentience asked via telepathic message.

"Hmm~" Fu Lin glanced at the Herrscher of Sentience with a knowing look, as if saying, "You got it."

[Options]

[A: Fu Hua]

[B: Siegfried Kaslana]

[C: Pardofelis]

[D: Welt Yang]

"Even Dad's name is on the list! I wonder where he is now. If I find him, I'll definitely give him a punch," Kiana grumbled as she looked at Siegfried's name.

"What a good daughter I have~ You're going to love me to death!" Upon seeing Kiana's comment, Siegfried immediately deleted the greeting message he was about to send, deciding it was better not to show up in front of her right now.

"Pardofelis... " Kevin couldn't help but fall into nostalgia when he saw the name of his former comrade.

Einstein, looking at the name Welt Yang, murmured to herself, "Leader, if you don't come back soon, Anti-Entropy will be completely taken over by Cocolia."

In St. Freya Academy, Teacher Welt sneezed. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

[Answerer: Kiana Kaslana]

"Huh? It's actually me!" Kiana saw her name chosen as the contestant and, in her excitement, hugged Mei and showered her with affection.

"Don't get too excited. Aside from the question itself, we have absolutely no useful clues. We don't know the answer at all," Bronya's heavy words echoed in Kiana's ears.

"Oh, right! What should I do?" (?○Д○)? Kiana looked around in panic, only to see everyone giving her helpless looks.

"Mei~ help me analyze this," Kiana pleaded privately with a pitiful expression, using her best puppy eyes.

"You're being like this again, Kiana. Pay attention to the question! All the clues are already given," Mei bit her lower lip, unable to handle Kiana's adorable pleading.

"Pay attention to the question? Emmm, where?" Kiana squinted at the question, looking it up and down but failing to notice any clues.

Everyone〈...〉

The obvious "Welt" in the question — do you really not see it?

"Sigh~ Kiana, just pick option D. Didn't you notice the 'Yang' in 'Yang Sit-ups'?" Himeko sighed, feeling a headache coming on from Kiana's cluelessness.

"Really? I think it makes perfect sense" Kiana looked at the character for "Yang," completely oblivious.

"I told you to study properly, but you insisted on goofing off! Now you can't even read basic characters. From now on, you'll be learning with Fu Hua," Himeko said with a kind, yet menacing smile, stepping in front of Kiana with words that filled her with dread.

"Nooo! I'm sorry, Teacher Himeko!" Kiana's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Himeko as if she'd rather face death than this punishment.

"Fu Hua, I'll leave Kiana to you from now on," Himeko said to Fu Hua.

"Understood, Teacher Himeko," Fu Hua nodded in agreement.

"Class monitor, you can't do this!" Kiana turned to Fu Hua, clutching her leg with a look of pure desperation.

"Kiana, your answer time is running out," Fu Lin reminded her, seeing that she was stalling.

〈Ugh... I choose D〉(t_t) Kiana whimpered. She hated this livestream now; if it weren't for this, she wouldn't be getting extra lessons.

"Congratulations... Kiana... you answered... correctly!" The Herrscher of Sentience took on the task of announcing the result and cheered.

Fu Lin, looking disappointed, said, "I can't believe you all answered the three questions correctly. What a pity~ I really wanted to see what the punishment would look like."

Theresa: 〈...〉

Otto: 〈...〉

Kiana: 〈...〉

Seriously, is this something a normal person would say?

"Now, please look at the screen," the broadcast announced.

The screen displayed a scene of the moon. As the camera zoomed in, the figures of the Second Herrscher, Sirin, and the First Herrscher, Welt Yang, came into view.

At this moment, Welt appeared battered and exhausted, kneeling in front of Sirin.

"It seems you've exhausted all your strength. The fight is over~"

"Now, let me claim my spoils of war" Sirin declared with a smirk.
