For a while after the mission ended, Kiana avoided Fu Hua every day.
Because the other her in her dreams kept telling her to challenge Fu Hua.
Until one time, the Kiana in her dream yelled back at the other her, "You keep telling me to challenge the squad leader! Why don't you go?!"
Then, the other her fell silent, and only then did Kiana get a few good days of rest.
But later, it got even worse; she was made to train with Fu Hua every day.
Finally, the Kiana who couldn't take it anymore, which is now, said,
"Squad leader, can you help me train? Just, the normal kind is fine." Kiana carefully said to Fu Hua.
"Normal training?" Fu Hua asked, a bit strangely.
"Yeah, just the kind that suits me, like Elysia, a moderate amount is fine." Kiana had now learned the word 'moderate'.
She was really afraid that Fu Hua would train her to death.
"If you want to train with me, then train with me when we have a break."
"Mm-hmm, thank you, squad leader!" Kiana breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Fu Hua agree.
At the same time, she also said in her heart, 'Is this enough? Can you please stop disturbing my sleep!'
'Hmph!'
Kiana seemed to hear a cold snort. After looking around, Kiana scratched her head.
"Squad leader, did you just hear someone 'hmph'?
"No, I didn't." Fu Hua shook her head and said, 'Can the other personality already communicate with Kiana?'
"That's strange, I seemed to hear someone snort coldly behind me." Kiana turned her head and looked behind her again. "It can't be, is it haunted?"
"Kiana, ghosts do not exist." Fu Hua pushed up her glasses.
"And, if we don't go to class soon, Mei might get angry."
"Class..." Kiana took out her phone and checked the time, then anxiously said, "Squad leader! I'm going to class first!"
Then Kiana ran off in a flash, disappearing from sight.
"Kiana is really energetic." Aili walked out from the side.
"Yes." Fu Hua looked in the direction Kiana ran, "However, Aili, the other personality inside Kiana can now communicate with Kiana."
"Hua, don't worry about that. Just have some faith in Kiana." Aili took Fu Hua's hand.
"Just like you trust me and Mei, give Kiana some trust ♬~"
"I'm not distrusting Kiana." Fu Hua sighed, "What I don't trust is Otto."
"Otto must be planning something, and it's related to Kiana."
"Otto's plan is indeed related to Kiana." Aili also sighed.
"Aili, do you know about Otto's plan?"
"I know a little, but not much. Even if I told you, it would only add to your worries."
Aili didn't know how to explain, because Otto's plan, in a sense, was also to end the Honkai in advance.
And Aili's goal was to change some of the processes in between.
At the very least, Himeko was fine now, and the Final Lesson wouldn't happen.
However, the Key of Blankness, Aili only remembered it now. Wasn't the Key of Blankness the armor Himeko used in the Final Lesson?
"Hua, can you do me a favor?" Aili asked Fu Hua very seriously.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to test the armor Otto gave us." Aili said seriously.
"Is there a problem with the armor Otto gave us? If there is, we just won't use it."
"Never mind that, let's go test it first!" Aili pulled Fu Hua, about to run towards the Memory Battlefield.
They could now apply to use the Memory Battlefield.
Standing at the entrance of the Memory Battlefield, Aili directly teleported the Key of Blankness over, completely without Otto's permission.
Fu Hua also teleported Moonbeam over.
There were no students in the Memory Battlefield now, only the two of them.
Aili looked at the armor on her body; it had no color at all.
This armor required a herrscher gem to be used in conjunction.
Aili took out the box containing the gems and retrieved the herrscher gem.
Now, only one gem was left in the box. The shattered gem seemed to have been absorbed by the complete gem.
She pressed the gem onto the armor at her collarbone, and the gem immediately melted into the armor.
Subsequently, the color of the armor also changed.
Most of the original white armor was dyed black, or rather, a very deep blue-purple, just like the Black Abyss of the Black Abyss White Flower.
At the entrance of the Memory Battlefield.
"Hua, with this armor, what monster should we challenge?" Aili held out her hand, looking at the black mist on it.
"Challenge what monster?" Fu Hua began to check the panel on the Memory Battlefield.
As she flipped to the later pages of the monsters they could challenge, Fu Hua saw an option.
"Aili, should we try challenging other Valkyries?"
"Other Valkyries? Sure." Aili nodded.
"Then, let's challenge her." Saying that, Fu Hua pointed her finger at the projection of the blonde girl in blue and white armor.
After confirming, Aili and Fu Hua walked into the Memory Battlefield.
As soon as they entered the arena, Aili and Fu Hua quickly dodged to both sides.
Where they had just stood, a black and white lance was stuck in the ground.
"Hua, who did you choose?" Aili took out her bow, and with her other hand, she condensed an arrow from black mist.
"Durandal." Fu Hua said briefly, then wiped her hand across her face.
A blue-purple mask appeared on her face.
Regarding Fu Hua's choice, Aili now only felt that it was a bit bad!
Why would she choose Durandal!
A greatsword swept horizontally towards Aili.
Aili hadn't even nocked her arrow yet when she quickly leaned back, and the greatsword swept past the tip of Aili's nose.
Using her hand to brace herself on the ground, she dodged the greatsword's downward smash, and Aili also saw Durandal's position clearly.
Durandal was currently floating in the air, with two silver-white half-body mechs guarding her on either side of her body.
Fu Hua also reached Durandal's side at this moment.
Regarding Fu Hua's attack, the drone mech holding a shield quickly blocked Fu Hua's attack.
It could even deflect the shield's direction to negate Fu Hua's attack.
The mech holding the greatsword also smashed its greatsword down at the moment Fu Hua's attack was deflected.
Such a simple attack would undoubtedly not hit Fu Hua.
Aili also shot a black arrow at Durandal's main body.
As the arrow flew, it split into another arrow.
After Durandal dodged the first arrow, she was hit in the arm by the second arrow.
The corrosive ability of the black mist was rapidly taking effect.
But the lance - Black Abyss White Flower - that Durandal had thrown earlier, now flew back into Durandal's hand.
The arrow stuck in her arm slowly disappeared, and the wound that had just been corroded on her body was also rapidly healing.
"Hua, you tricked me!" Aili looked at Durandal, who was making the motion of throwing a spear, and shouted at Fu Hua.
