[Holy crap! Auntie Hiko is so cool!]
[Who are you calling Auntie? Call her Big Sister!]
[A powerhouse who heaves a God-Slayer Claymore with one hand—what's not to love?]
[No kidding! Hiko is the ace of our Far East Branch!]
The mont Murata Hiko appeared on screen, dragging her massive blade and clad in crimson armor, the atmosphere in the livestream was instantly ignited! Confident, mature... a reliable adult, a reliable Big Sister Hiko!
Players had already witnessed the power of the [Fusion Armor: Crimson]in the side story of the Third Honkai Impact. Clad in Crimson and wielding her claymore, Hiko had linked with the Hyperion to unleash power capable of rivaling even the Third Herrscher in her enraged state! Of course, this armor also perfectly accentuated Hiko's curves... and the most eye-catching detail was naturally that mole on her chest! A stroke of genius! Much like Rita's teardrop mole, it was an absolute bonus point.
"Auntie Hiko is this cool? I couldn't tell at all..." Watching this, Kiana couldn't help but complain.
After graduating from Chiba Academy, Kiana, Raiden i, and Bronya had entered the University Division of St. Freya. This was Theresa's arrangent. In this world, St. Freya Academy was a comprehensive institution covering middle school, high school, and university. Backed by the Schicksal Consortium—one of the world's top financial groups—and enjoying a partnership with Shenzhou, it was a world-renowned school. Don't ask how Kiana got in; just assu she used the "back door."
Murata Hiko was a professor at this university. Being close friends with Theresa, she naturally looked after the trio. Though "looking after" was a bit of a stretch; the woman was a completely disorganized adult. She was the polar opposite of mature, frequently organizing drinking parties and getting blackout drunk. Her drinking buddies were all heavyweights: Professor Mobius, who always asked Kiana to be a test subject; Professor Ruan i, who wanted to study Kiana's "idiot body" to see if idiots truly don't get sick; and Professor Herta, who felt Kiana's constitution was perfect for testing her puppets... though Herta was only a professor in na.
Every mber of that drinking club was a big deal beyond their academic titles. So Kiana was genuinely confused. How did Auntie Hiko get mixed up with these geniuses? Is this drunkard actually capable?
"Kiana, it's clear you haven't been paying attention in class... Don't you know? Professor Hiko's father was the director of Schicksal's St. 7308 Research Institute. He had major breakthroughs in aerospace, and Professor Hiko is a genius too," Raiden i explained helplessly. "At 15, she graduated top of her class and applied for the Interstellar Flight Dynamics program at Caltech. By 19, she had earned her doctorate..."
Kiana's expression turned to shock. "Wait, for real? That drunkard Auntie Hiko is that smart?!"
[19-year-old Ph.D.? That's insane!]
[Hiko is a straight-up prodigy in the academic world!]
[They say all geniuses have quirks; I guess Hiko just really likes her booze.]
[Suddenly Auntie Hiko feels out of my league...]
i's explanation set the chat on fire. Information about Hiko could actually be found in the HOMU-pedia, so i was simply reciting facts.
In the ga, Pardo was controlling Murata Hiko, clearing the deck of Honkai Beasts. It had to be said that [Fusion Armor: Crimson]felt great to play. Timing attacks correctly allowed Hiko's claymore to release long-range shockwaves. In Su Mu's previous life, Greatswords in Honkai 3rd were notoriously clunky until later optimizations. In this life, with improved technology, the Greatsword gaplay was no longer a point of criticism, finally allowing players to experience the visceral impact of a heavy blade!
However, after clearing a wave of beasts, a world-shaking roar rang out. The Judgnt-class Honkai Beast—Benares—arrived with overwhelming presence! Benares was deep blue with white outer plating, featuring azure stripes on its neck and abdon, and four eyes. Its massive wings were blue with white skeletal structures, while the claws and wing mbranes were azure. Those azure parts would shift colors based on its form: purple for Lightning, deep blue for Ice, and orange for Fire!
[The 'Claymore stopping a Dragon Charge' segnt is here!]
[This is a legendary part of the experience!]
[Benares is too cool!]
[This chapter is so intense! We're fighting Benares already?]
Watching the battle between Hiko and Benares, many viewers felt their blood pumping, wishing they could jump into the ga right then! As the fight intensified, it beca clear the Helios wouldn't last until a winner was decided. At that mont, a brilliant light pierced the sky! It was Fu Hua in the Shadow Knight: Moon armor! She used herself as bait to draw Benares away, helping Hiko escape the predicant!
"What is the Class Monitor up to?" Kiana was baffled. "Isn't she supposed to be our enemy? Why help us now?"
Pardo thought for a mont. "I think Sister Hua has a hidden reason, like being used by Otto? Based on the previous plot, she's stiff, but she doesn't seem like a bad person." Raiden i nodded in agreent.
However, even though Fu Hua lured Benares away, the battle wasn't over. A constant stream of Honkai Beasts kept harrassing Hiko. While they were no match for her, there were too many for one person to handle. But then, to everyone's surprise, Einstein and Tesla from Anti-Entropy dispatched chs for support!
Honkai Beasts, tremble! Your Titan Daddy is here!
[Titan Daddy!]
[Dash, charge, ground smash! I was tortured by Titans in the Abyss, now it's my turn to use Titans to torture Honkai Beasts! Hahaha!!]
Among the many Anti-Entropy ch models, the Titan was the most imposing. In the early "Bleeding Abyss" days of Su Mu's previous life, un-nerfed Titans could practically teleport, and getting hit once usually ant ga over. Honkai Impact 3rd was known for "igniting the action soul," and back then, the brutal Abyss and terrifyingly strong enemies made for legendary combinations like Lier Scarlet and nto's Freeze-loop. Players fought tooth and nail, embodying the spirit of action gas to the extre.
In this life, Su Mu hadn't brought over that nightmare-inducing Abyss yet. For a mainstream ga, making it too difficult wasn't always a good thing. With Anti-Entropy's support, the beasts were like grass before a mower. After clearing the deck, Einstein finally appeared before Hiko. Blue curly hair, youthful appearance... Tesla called her "mop-head," which was quite an accurate description.
As for why Anti-Entropy was supporting Theresa, it was because Einstein and Tesla belonged to the "Conservative" faction. They weren't aligned with Cocolia. In fact, during the Third Honkai Impact, Cocolia had acted behind their backs, which was why her ch count had been limited. Having witnessed the disasters brought by the Honkai, Einstein and Tesla chose to cooperate with Theresa to stop the Second Herrscher and attack Schicksal. They deployed nearly 70% of their chs—their elite forces. Though they worried about what Cocolia might do at headquarters, they had to prioritize stopping the Herrscher first!
Theresa and Hiko split up. Hiko led the chs into Schicksal's Third Airport, while Tesla stayed on the Hyperion to arrange the "secret weapon," planning to rendezvous at the airport.
At the end of Chapter 7, a new CG played. Fu Hua, in the Moon armor, stood above the clouds. Below her, a massive shadow manifested. The dark silhouette carried imnse pressure!
[The Judgnt-class Honkai Beast, Benares, breaks through the clouds and appears before Fu Hua.]
[Its massive body seems to blot out the sun, its roar echoing through the world.]
[Facing the overwhelming Benares, Fu Hua is completely unfazed. Her armor begins to change!]
["Fourth-generation Valkyrie God-Slayer Armor, Shadow Knight: Moon—Limiters Released!"]
[With the limiters released, Fu Hua's visor closes, and her armor glows with golden light fueled by Honkai energy!]
Seeing Fu Hua take on a Judgnt-class beast alone, Kiana couldn't sit still. "The Class Monitor is this cool?" Thinking of Fu Hua's majestic appearance here, and rembering how she had just lost to Fu Hua and been captured in the previous chapter, Kiana felt a surge of indignation!
"Curse you, Su Mu! Writing the Class Monitor so heroically while making this Lady look so pathetic! I'm so mad!!"
