Chapter 25: Fu Hua's Dark Past

(Holy fuck the old title was actually low key racist if you want to know what is it here.)

[Original title: Fu Hua's Black History]

——————————

"As expected of the class monitor, what she said makes sense." Kiana clapped her hands and looked at Fu Hua with admiration.

Fu Hua turned her head around in embarrassment. After all, she knew how bad her luck actually was.

However, she also felt lucky because

What if among these people, she is not the one with the worst luck?

"That's still the same, let's just eliminate one of these answers." Himeko said.

"Then let me answer this time." said Theresa.

"No, Principal, let me do it." Fu Hua stopped her.

"No, no, you've already answered two questions, how can i let you? If you answer incorrectly, your lifespan will be deducted." Theresa shook her head quickly.

Answering the question is risky, but Fu Hua got it all right. No matter how shameless Theresa is when getting Fu Hua's reward‚ she would still feel bad.

So she couldn't let Fu Hua answer this question.

"It's fine, Principal just let me do this question. My physique is quite special, and even if one year of lifespan is deducted, it will not affect me in the slightest." Fu Hua said.

"That doesn't work either. I'm the Principal of the academy. Even if it doesn't affect you‚ you're still my student. How can I let the student take the risk?"

Theresa yelled the answer at the Q&A Space before Fu Hua could answer.

"I choose B!"

[The answer is...wrong, the correct answer is Fu Hua]

Theresa suddenly felt her body became numb, as if something has been pulled out of her body and then she felt fatigued.

Fortunately for her‚ Kiana has been right by her side and quickly caught her.

After a few seconds, this feeling of fatigue gradually dissipated.

"Huh....Is this what it feels like to be deducted from your lifespan? It doesn't seem to have much effect on me."

Theresa open and closed her fist a couple of times. Feeling fine from it as it did not affect her that much.

"Maybe it's because Principal Theresa has a higher life expectancy more than a normal Valkyrie." Bronya said.

"Speaking of which, it said the correct answer is the class monitor?" Kiana looked at Fu Hua in a strange way, "Class monitor, didn't you just said you were lucky?"

"..."

Fu Hua pushed her glasses and silently turned around out of embarrassment.

At this moment, a video popped up in front of them.

In the video, Fu Hua is playing an arcade machine at the game hall of St. Freya Academy.

(Smebius: the previous chapters did say game hall.)

She doesn't have any hobbies. Usually, after practicing shadow boxing, she will occasionally take some time off and go to the game hall to play games and relax.

As soon as Fu Hua finished the game‚ She looked at the time and felt that it was time to head back to her dormitory.

However, she still has a few tokens left. Fu Hua thought about it and walked to a lottery machine in the game hall.

In this lottery machine, you only need to put the coins in and align the right patterns to get the prize.

(Smebius: For those who don't understand. The patterns are randomised and you have to get the right pattern to win.)

However, the probability of winning the lottery machine very high. The game hall is open to let the Valkyrie students to relax and have fun, so Theresa adjusted the probability of winning the lottery machine to be very high‚ even if they close their eyes they can get the 1st or 2nd prize.

However, After Fu Hua put in the last of her coins she played it but she never won the jackpot, not even a consolation prize.

Seeing this happen, Fu Hua was stunned for a moment, she then called the staff and said that their lottery machine might be broken.

Because she has seen other students win the lottery when they play this game a few times before and they are all grand prizes, how come she didn't even have a consolation prize?

If the machine is not broken, what else could it be?

Outside the screen, when Fu Hua saw this happening, she silently closed her eyes as couldn't bear to watch any more.

Because, she knew the result.

And this is also the day when she knew she has very bad luck.

In the video, after checking the machine, the staff said with a puzzled look that the machine is not broken.

Fu Hua did not believe the staff‚ so she then tried it herself.

The result was that she won the second prize.

At this time, Fu Hua didn't think too much about it and just thought that she just have a bit of bad luck.

So she exchange dozens of tokens and went on to play it again.

However, the ending was very tragic.

After playing dozens of times in a row, Fu Hua did not win a single time.

She doesn't know if it's a coincidence or not. Everytime she chooses a pattern she did not get the right one.

There was this one time where she chooses the same pattern a couple of times in a row and did not win a single time.

And when she tried changing the pattern to a different one‚ she did not win anything...

The staff next to her were all dumbfounded.

She has worked here for several years and has never seen someone this unlucky.

In the end, Fu Hua went crazy and exchanged more than 100 tokens.

Finally, after using more than 100 tokens, she finally won a consolation prize.

On that day, the sunlight was shining, but Fu Hua's head was down her face was covered in darkness.

No one knew how Fu Hua was felt at this time, because everyone outside the screen couldn't help laughing.

If the staff weren't concern for Fu Hua, they would be laughing their ass off while holding their stomach

Although she was very pitiful its also a very funny moment.

"Pft-... so what Fu Hua, no need to feel bad about it. maybe that was the only unlucky day for you."

Himeko held back her laughter and was trying to comfort Fu Hua.

But seeing Himeko's face‚ she knew that Himeko was holding back her laughter.

In the end Fu Hua couldn't help but sighed and said while holding her forehead.

"Forget it, you can laugh all you want. I'm just that unlucky."

"pft- Ha ha ha ha!!"

As soon as Fu Hua said these words, everyone started laughing. For a time, the Q&A Space was filled with a cheerful atmosphere and laughters.

Even Bronya, who is expressionless chuckled a bit.

Fu Hua originally felt embarrassed. After her dark past was revealed to everyone in the Q&A Space.

But after seeing everyone laughing happily‚ it was like and infection to her and she couldn't help but had a smile on her face. All of her feelings of embarrassment disappeared.

In a trance, she seemed to hear a familiar and yet unfamiliar voice in her ear.

"Fu Hua, why can't you just smile a bit more? it suits you. Smile, just like me~."
