My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

"Bronya is analyzing the odds of winning..."

While the group was still chatting, Luo Chen had already moved, swiftly arriving in front of Mei, who was closest to him, and slashing at her neck with his long sword, which was wreathed in flames.

Mei drew her Plasma Shadow to block Luo Chen's attack, while Yuno seized the opportunity to slash Luo Chen's back with her naginata.

Luo Chen vanished in a puff of black smoke, and when he reappeared, he was already beside Lilith. He kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying.

Before Lilith could react, she was sent flying. Kiana caught her and then knelt on the ground, clutching her stomach.

"It hurts!"

Although the pain level in the virtual space was reduced, it still existed; Luo Chen's kick just now was genuinely painful.

"Reload Bunny, fire!"

Bronya controlled the Heavy Bunny to fire several shells, which Luo Chen easily dodged.

The next second, lightning appeared on Luo Chen's body. He sheathed his sword at his waist and unleashed a sword beam at the group.

Just as Yuno was about to step forward, Mei beat her to it. Mei activated her Plasma Shadow Show, unleashing a blade of light that froze Luo Chen's attack before shattering it with lightning.

"Mei, what do we do now?"

Yuno kept a close eye on Luo Chen to prevent a sudden attack, and asked Mei a question.

"Yuno, Kiana, let's hold Luo Chen back together. Bronya and Lilith will wait for an opportunity from behind."

"I will handle it!"

Kiana took the lead, unleashing her Honkai energy as she leaped into the air, kicking out with her right foot. A giant cat paw appeared out of thin air and smashed towards Luo Chen's head.

Just when Kiana thought she was about to defeat him, a skeleton appeared around Luo Chen's body, forming Susanoo's armor.

Susanoo grabbed the cat's paw and crushed it, a long sword appearing in his hand as he slashed at Kiana.

Kiana landed quickly, skillfully dodging the sword strike, and returned to Mei's side.

Everyone looked at Luo Chen's Susanoo with grave expressions. With their current strength, breaking that armor was nothing short of a pipe dream.

"Bronya, how much longer?"

"One minute and twenty seconds to three minutes remain."

Kiana was getting desperate; the situation was practically a dead end. She finally understood the mindset of Luo Chen's enemies—this was simply unwinnable!

Mei looked at Luo Chen in Susanoo, not thinking about how to kill time, but about how to destroy this thing.

"I don't want to be a burden to you."

Mei gripped the plasma screen tightly. What she wanted was not to always walk behind Luo Chen, but to walk alongside him or even in front of him.

Although Luo Chen is rarely injured now, Mei always worries about him every time he goes on a mission, wondering if he will get hurt or never come back. She also blames herself for not being strong enough to fight alongside him.

"Mei, let's break it."

Yuno said, her eyes filled with fighting spirit, clearly having the same idea as Mei.

"Yuno, you're not really going, are you?!"

Lilith looked at the two whose fighting spirit was soaring and was a little at a loss. After thinking for a moment, she decided to go crazy with them.

"Okay. Yuno, let's go."

After discussing it, everyone agreed that they should try to destroy Susanoo instead of simply waiting for time to pass, since that would be more meaningful.

Mei and Yuno moved forward together, followed by Kiana who was shouting, and together they launched an attack on Susanoo's breastplate.

Susanoo's greatsword slashed down, but Kiana blocked it with her cat paw, giving Mei and the others time to dodge.

While Susanoo was sheathing his sword, Mei had already arrived in front of Susanoo, her Plasma Shadow fully charged with energy, and slashed at Susanoo with a single strike. Yuno, meanwhile, unleashed several more slashes while casting poison mist.

Their attacks only left scratches on Susanoo, but this was a good start, showing that they alone could destroy Susanoo.

Just as Mei was about to continue, crimson flames ignited on Susanoo, and a shockwave emanated from it, blowing away the two who were approaching.

Susanoo continued to transform, and finally, the complete Susanoo stood on the field, with Luo Chen looking down at the group from Susanoo's head.

Chapter 108 Beating up my teammates

"It's over now!"

Lilith let out a strange cry, looked up at the sword in Susanoo's hand, and wondered if her short legs could outrun its attack.

"How do you fight this thing?"

Yuno was on the verge of tears. The half-body Susanoo was already difficult enough, and now there was a complete one. How could anyone live like this?

"Why don't we just wait for the time to pass?"

Kiana swallowed hard, her legs went weak at the sight of the familiar Susanoo, and she had no intention of resisting at all.

As they spoke, countless vines appeared on the ground, intertwining to form a dense vine thicket resembling a forest, controlling their movements. At that moment, Susanoo's greatsword fell, eliminating them all.

After emerging from the virtual pod, Mei stood there for a while before she came to her senses, never expecting to be eliminated like this.

"I feel so dizzy."

Kiana emerged in a daze, overwhelmed by the dual stimulation of her dream and reality, to the point that she was now somewhat afraid of Luo Chen.

"Played well."

Luo Chen walked over with a smile, his smug expression making most of the Valkyries present dislike him, especially those teams that were instantly defeated as soon as they entered the arena.

"How dare you say that."

Yuna punched Luo Chen in the chest and said defiantly, "You really don't hold back."

"Let me state upfront that it's not me, it's my virtual image. And the idea was actually suggested by Aunt Theresa."

Luo Chen swiftly shifted the blame, placing the responsibility on Theresa. What's wrong with the headmaster taking the fall for his student?

"That's all because of you!"

Yuna ignored Luo Chen's smooth talk and decided it was him.

"But we really didn't expect your final blow."

"Of course! This is a high-octane combo between a vegetable and a punk rocker!"

"What is all this about? I don't understand at all."

Not only Yuno couldn't understand, but Mei and the others also looked puzzled, having no idea what crazy Luo Chen was going on about.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"Forget it, not many people can understand your strange ideas anyway."

"Everyone, are you surprised by this team battle?"

Theresa gathered all the students in front of the stage. Looking at the frustrated expressions on the faces of most of the students below, she knew that the surprise she had prepared this time would definitely exceed expectations.

"Judging from your expressions, you must be quite surprised."

Theresa wanted this expression. The students already had enough experience fighting Honkai Beasts and zombies, but in order to train their ability to adapt to changing circumstances, Theresa decided to use this method.

"This is the course we will be offering next. You will fight against various A-rank and even S-rank Valkyries in the virtual space in order to further enhance yourselves."

"I was very satisfied with the performance of several teams in this team assessment. I hope you will continue to do your best."

Theresa spoke at length, mostly encouraging words for the students, which Luo Chen found tiresome.

"Lady Theresa, the Valkyries you've trained have truly broadened Rita's horizons. I can't help but want to join the battle."

Theresa was a little surprised. It was a rare opportunity to be taught by an S-class Valkyrie in person, and she didn't want to miss it.

"Really? Then I'll have to ask Rita to give my student some pointers."

“Okay. I have a few Valkyries I'm particularly interested in, so Rita will spar with them.”

Rita's gaze fell unabashedly on Kiana, and the smile on her face made Kiana feel a little strange.

"Kiana and Yuno from the third squad, please have a match with Rita."

Luo Chen wasn't too surprised by Rita's choice. Kiana was chosen by Otto, and choosing Yuno was probably also related to Otto.

"It's not fair for one to fight two."

Kiana expressed her doubts, completely unaware of the difference in strength between the group.

"Kiana, what are you thinking? You and Yuno combined aren't even a match for Rita."

Luo Chen spoke up to remind her, patting Yuno on the back to encourage her, "Come on, don't be too nervous. It's just a normal sparring match."

"Even if you say that, the other party is still an S-class Valkyrie."

Yuno smiled wryly as Kiana hurriedly dragged her to the virtual pod to prepare for battle. Rita also entered the fray at the same time, heading to the prepared virtual pod.

As Rita stepped off the stage, she bumped into Luo Chen, who had just arrived, and nodded to him, saying, "Little Chen, is there anything I can help you with?"

"nothing."

Luo Chen shook his head, walked past Rita, and stood behind her, saying, "I don't want to be on the opposite side from you, Sister Rita."

"Xiao Chen, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"It's nothing, Rita, you go ahead."

After Luo Chen left, Rita's smile disappeared, replaced by helplessness and regret.
