(You guys missed me?)
:)

"You're right, I didn't expect you to be so lucky, class monitor." Kiana said with emotion.
'I think when she answered the question for the first time, she got it wrong.'
"Sigh..."
Fu Hua was suprise. She was prepared for her lifespan to be deducted by a year, but unexpectedly that never happened.
Could it be that... this is her time to shine and luck is starting to get better?
Fu Hua looked at the material box in her hand and suddenly came up with a bold idea.
Since the 100 consecutive lottery draws in the game hall have only drawn consolation prizes, Fu Hua has lost hope in luck.
but now...
Fu Hua hesitated for a little, but finally gave up the idea of opening the box.
After all‚ she has been accumulating many unlucky lottery draws from the game hall. Now she fears the idea of opening it.
"Principal, I'll give you this." Fu Hua handed the material box to Theresa.
The appearance of the material box is not large, only 50cm in diameter and there is a picture of Homu printed on it.
"Why are you giving this to me?"
"Well... it's not very useful to me anyway."
"Alright then I'll accept it. This material box could be helpful for St. Freya."
Theresa took it with a smile because St. Freya Academy is short on materials. As the saying goes‚ 'Take advantage of every opportunity that is given to you'.
At this moment, the Q&A Space reappears in front of them.
Everyone quickly looked at it seriously.
They saw that the background in the scene was a ship at a high altitude. Like last time, the protagonists in this video is Fu Hua and Otto.
The only difference this time is that Fu Hua is on the ground who seemed to be seriously injured, and Otto was standing in front of her.
Then, everyone heard Otto speak.
"Ah... It's really embarrassing, old friend. When was the last time i saw you this seriously injured? Was it on the Taixuan Mountain 500 years ago?"
"Forget it, let me treat you first. It's a celebration of the successful conclusion of the first phase of the experiment."
Fu Hua raised her head with difficulty, looking at Otto with a puzzled and angry eyes look.
"Why....why did you let the Second Herrscher go? Don't you know her goal is..."
"It's Theresa, I know."
Otto said calmly. his expression did not change at all, as if the name that came out of his mouth was a person completely irrelevant to him.
When Theresa outside the screen saw this happen, she couldn't help but felt betrayed in her heart.
Just thinking of how Otto spoiled her and let her act like a spoiled child and then seeing his indifferent and ruthless expression in the video made Theresa very scared and confused she as didn't know which one was the real Otto now.
"It won't be long before they catch up right? No one is going to interfere with them and they will their last moments in battle."
"What did you say...?" Fu Hua looked at Otto in disbelief.
"Oh right, I haven't told you yet, K423 is not dead yet as I needed her to be alive."
"...!!!"
"Right now, there are two consciousnesses residing in that body, one is K423, whom you call 'Kiana' and the other one is called Sirin the Herrscher of Void."
"After absorbing The Gem of Tranquility and The Gem of Conquest, as well as a large amount of high-purity Honkai Energy, Sirin's consciousness began to awaken in which she successfully occupied K423's body. This eventually led to the awakening of the Herrscher of Void."
"But, this is not the ending I want."
"K423's consciousness didn't disappear, she just fell into a deep sleep because of Sirin's awakening. So if the other way around happens and K423's consciousness overcomes Sirin's consciousness, then what will happen?" ask Fu Hua
"The answer is that a human with the power of the Herrscher will be born!"
"This has been confirmed by the Third Herrscher and the Fourth Herrscher."
"After all, manipulating a human is much easier than manipulating a Herrscher, isn't it?"
"Of course, it won't be easy for K423's consciousness to defeat Sirin, but it's not impossible either."
Hearing this, Fu Hua's eyes suddenly widened, and she said in a trembling voice,
"Could it be that...."
"That's right, it's feelings, feelings which in turn can create miracles."
"During the two years that K423 entered St. Freya, their relationship has long since turned into an unbreakable bond. These happy and warm memories will be K423's most powerful strength and she will tear apart the hearts of the Herrscher who do not know what love is."
"They... will be killed...! Don't you care about Theresa and the others?!" Fu Hua roared.
"I understand that the disparity in strength between the two sides is clear at a glance."
"But it is precisely because of this that when people are in desperation, they can often bloom to the most dazzling brilliance."
"According to my calculations.... K423 will take back her body when she appears Infront of her."
"I believe in Theresa because she believe in her students‚ which will kill the Herrscher with love. This is one of the greatest feat that only they can accomplish."
"Son of a bitch!"
Seeing this scene, everyone outside the screen immediately exploded in anger, and Kiana gritted her teeth, wishing she could punch Otto in the screen!
Now she finally understands why she will become a Herrscher in the future, it turns out Otto is the perpetrator all along.
And it was also because of him that Himeko-Sensei died to save herself.
"Grandfather...."
Theresa clenched her fists, and even her body kept trembling. She never thought that the grandfather who had been pampering her would be so ruthless.
Sure enough, in his eyes, she was nothing but a toy, a clone that could be created at any time by playing games with him on a whim.
'Grandpa‚ since this is your true self then I won't be so kind when the time comes we become enemies.'
'Goodbye, grandpa and... my cowardice.'
"..."
Inside and outside the screen, the two Fu Hua laugh at the same time.
"Haha....hahahaha..."
On the screen‚ Fu Hua suddenly began laughing. The laughter was full of self-deprecation and irony.
She laughed at herself because she actually believed in Otto's nonsense and betrayed everyone in St. Freya, but in the end she was betrayed instead.

"My friend, I'm officially asking you now because you are now beyond my control."
"Are you still going to resist against me? Are you still going to try and stop me?"
