Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

"The Knights' vice-commander, Holder, held his greatsword and spoke with sharp eyes."

Arya's strength is second only to Roland. She killed Holder, but ultimately could not escape, and could only create an opportunity for you to kill her at the last moment.

"I will dedicate my life to the fire and earth. Thank you, my dear teacher." The girl smiled gently.

You killed Arya.

...

Chapter 5 Join the Earthfire, Rosalyn! [Fifth Update!]

West Wind Church.

As one of the most famous buildings in Mondstadt, the church is frequented by a constant stream of people praying every day.

Listen to the divine pronouncements of the Anemo Archon and spread the ideals of freedom to every corner of Mondstadt and even Teyvat.

Sunlight streamed through the rose window overhead, casting pale light on floating dust motes as the nun moved back and forth.

"Captain Rustan, is there anything I can help you with?"

A nun stopped in front of Su Chen and asked.

"Thank you, I just wanted to sit alone for a while."

Su Chen chuckled.

May the wind god protect you.

The nun walked away.

Su Chen sat alone on the bench, looking at the people who were praying, as if he were seeing Arya.

"I should have gotten used to this kind of thing by now; after all, it's just a simulation..."

He looked up, sunlight falling into his eyes, and familiar faces surfaced in his memory.

Those people were the ones who had left him in each of the previous simulations.

Some die from birth, aging, illness, and death, while others die from accidents.

But Arya was killed by his own hands.

You look at your hands, the lingering warmth of blood still clinging to them, and the burning dreams of a young girl. You need to carry on her journey.

[But you know this can't go on. Mondstadt may very well become a battlefield between the Earthfire and the Knights of Favonius, which was not your original intention in creating the Earthfire.]

You realize that to change all of this, you must become someone who can set the rules.

[You have awakened the dark will, and your power has greatly increased.]

At the age of twenty-one, you were appointed as the deputy commander due to your outstanding performance.

The activities of the Earthfire continue, but their missions are no longer just simple assassinations. They appear in every corner of Mondstadt, helping those in need while punishing those who deserve it.

The ranks of the Earthfire have steadily grown, evolving from assassins to a diverse group of individuals: merchants, adventurers, chefs... Anyone with a passion for protecting Mondstadt can join the Earthfire after a selection process.

The earth's fires begin to burn, their will spreading throughout Mondstadt.

Gradually, the existence of the Earthfire was accepted by the people of Mondstadt, but the Knights of Favonius clearly would not approve of such an organization that violated Mondstadt law. Under the orders of the Mondstadt nobility, one operation after another against the Earthfire began. You learned from previous lessons and kept the Earthfire members well hidden.

At the age of twenty-two, you were awarded the title of 'Young Wolf,' while Erendel was awarded the title of 'Lion of Light.'

According to the rules of the Knights, those who possess the titles of Lion and Wolf are eligible to compete for the position of Grand Master, thus making you and Erendrin the focus of everyone's attention.

[Your goal is clear: to become Grand Master. But Erendrin clearly won't give up, whether it's due to family demands or his own pride as a nobleman.]

More importantly, the nobles would not allow a commoner to become a Grand Master.

You must make a decision: to become Grand Master, you must defeat Eren Delin and destroy his beliefs until now.

You were hesitant and troubled until that day in Mondstadt, when you heard a young girl's song.

The western winds will carry away the aroma of the wine.

The mountain breeze carries news of victory.

The wind from afar stirs my heart.

[The soft murmur of my longing for you]

Mondstadt, beneath the colossal statue of Aeolus.

Su Chen subconsciously stopped and looked toward the source of the sound.

Rosalyn Cruzshika Loefat.

That is, the Lady, the Executor of the Fools in the game.

She had beautiful long white hair, light purple eyes, and delicate features that, compared to Su Chen's memory, had a more youthful and innocent look, full of girlish vitality.

Her singing was very moving, her voice gentle and sweet, completely different from that of the mad flame witch.

Su Chen swore he hadn't come here intentionally to seek an encounter, because it was a simulation, and he wasn't particularly interested in experiences beyond his purpose.

But then again, the simulation could affect reality, which made him suddenly think of a problem.

If Rosalyn's experience is changed here, will the Fools of the future reappear?

For example, let Rosalind join the earth fire.

...

You stood aside and listened to the girl sing. Those who had been drawn by her voice gradually left, but the girl remained, smiling at you.

"I know you," the girl said. "You are a hero of Mondstadt, the valiant Vice-Commander."

Rosalyn wore a shy smile; she knew all about your deeds. Young girls often idolize heroes, which made you realize that your plan wasn't so difficult to achieve.

【'Beautiful girl, you sing so well.'】

【'Thank you for the compliment.'】

【'May I have your name?'】

【'Rosalyn.'】

For a while afterward, you frequently visited Mondstadt, and Rosalind would sing to you where the wind blew, and you quickly became friends.

At dusk.

Su Chen stood in front of the statue of the Wind God.

"What are you thinking about?" Rosalyn walked over from a distance, skipping happily with a smile on her face. "Do you know what? I've qualified for advanced studies at the Sumeru Order Academy!"

Su Chen smiled faintly: "Congratulations, you've finally gotten what you wanted."

"Hehe! Thanks to you for answering those tricky questions for me, Rustan. I'm really curious. Even the most brilliant scholars are not as wise as you. Could you be an emissary of the Wind God?"

Rosalyn had been preparing to enter the Sumeru College for further studies.

However, the assessment standards of the Order Academy are notoriously difficult. She was not very confident at first, but with Su Chen's help, she finally passed the assessment today and received the admission notice from the Order Academy.

"What do you think?" Su Chen asked with a smile.

I think it definitely is!

Rosalind lifted her skirt with both hands, squatted slightly, and said in a proper manner, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

"Haha, I'm almost convinced myself... But Rosalyn, entering the Faculty Academy is just the beginning. The research topics there will make you feel bored and tedious, so you should be mentally prepared."

Su Chen initially obtained the position of Sage because of the help of simulation and the blessing of talent.

But I have to say that the Order of the Fathers is really boring.

Well, for some people it might be the opposite.

Rosalyn smiled playfully: "Don't worry, you won't have to think about this for at least a year."

"Why? Isn't the enrollment period for the Order of the Fathers supposed to be within a month?"

"Because I postponed my enrollment." Rosalyn rubbed her hands together, her head lowered, looking somewhat shy.

She postponed her enrollment because she wanted to spend more time with Su Chen.

Su Chen remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at the enormous statue of the wind god.

“Do you know why I come here so often?” he asked.

Rosalyn looked up, curious: "Why?"

Su Chen said in a calm tone, "Because at that time, I personally killed the student I had taught."

Rosalyn was taken aback.

She knew everything about Su Chen, at least after he joined the Knights.

The girl from the Earthfire organization who was killed here?

...

You revealed your identity to Rosalind, but didn't extend an invitation. You merely explained the meaning of the Earth Fire's existence: it is protection, change, creation... and also destruction.

The next day, Rosalyn found you and asked to join the Earthfire.

"I'm willing to follow you forever, even if endless hell lies ahead. Let the flames burn upon me, bringing you light." The girl's voice drifted away on the wind.

You have earned the achievement 'Poaching'.

...

P.S.: Fifth update, let's go!

Chapter 6 Conversation [Sixth Update!]

"Success."

Inviting Rosalyn to join the Earthfire was originally just a spur-of-the-moment idea from Su Chen.

But to my surprise, it succeeded so easily.

"As it turns out, these existing interpersonal relationships will all change at some point in time. This was true for Erendlin, Rosalind, and Roland, who was Rustan's apprentice."

Su Chen had not encountered this situation in the previous simulations.
