Collapse, I save everything alone

——I don’t know when my own sword ended up in Fu Hua’s hands.

"Ta...Tachitori?!"

she exclaimed.

In Shenzhou's words, it is a technique similar to disarming.

"My swordsmanship is pretty good, but... I'm still quite unfamiliar with the use of Honkai energy. Forcing it to work makes it difficult for me to adapt."

Fu Hua smiled and returned the weapon to Mei.

This is natural. After all, before entering St. Freya's Academy, Mei had never had any serious contact with Honkai energy - Raiden Ryoma took great care of her.

This is exactly why Theresa wants to take the Herrscher into the academy, to teach her how to master the power in her body and control herself.

“Thanks for the guidance.”

Mei took the sword, thanked politely, and returned to her seat.

——Mei, was defeated gloriously.

There was no need for Fu Hua to say much, as the third challenger had already appeared on the training ground.

"...Bronya."

After a brief self-introduction, the silver-haired girl arched her body, shot out like an arrow, and engaged in close combat with Fu Hua.

Fu Hua's eyes also became solemn.

——This solemnity is not because the opponent's skills pose a threat to her, but because of the source of these skills.

What Bronya used were all killing techniques.

If Kiana's fighting skills are half-baked and have no power, and Mei's swordsmanship is just to make the opponent lose the ability to fight as quickly as possible, then the most petite Bronya in front of her is using the most dangerous skills, and every move is aimed at taking the opponent's life.

There are no unnecessary movements, no unnecessary purposes, every attack is to take away the opponent's life, and every attack is aimed at the most vulnerable part of the human body.

This child’s background…I’m afraid it’s not very good.

Fu Hua thought silently in her heart.

The only place where young children would be taught this art of killing is almost exclusively the military.

Considering her Siberian origins... the result is of course obvious.

This child must be a victim of the second collapse fourteen years ago.

As a Valkyrie who had personally experienced that battle, Fu Hua sighed softly.

Then, as expected, Fu Hua interrupted Bronya's attack with a palm and knocked her away.

However, at the moment when Bronya was knocked away, a huge mecha appeared out of thin air, and the mechanical fist smashed down almost at the same time.

"……oh?"

The floor beneath her feet cracked. Fu Hua took the heavy punch from the Heavy-Armored Bunny with one hand and looked at the huge mecha in front of her with some surprise.

This thing looks like a product of a previous civilization... or at least it uses technology from a previous civilization.

Is close combat just to create opportunities for its sneak attack?

It’s a pity that it’s still a little off.

"…The sneak attack failed. Bronya admits defeat."

The silver-haired girl got up from the ground and admitted defeat honestly.

She could clearly feel the huge gap between herself and Fu Hua.

——Bronya, was defeated.

"You three are very talented, but at this stage, I can only rank you as B-level Valkyries."

Fu Hua looked at the three girls and said with a faint smile.

She immediately looked at the last person, the young man who was sitting obediently on the bench.

"Okay, then next, it's your turn... Mingyu."

Chapter 22 Coach Fu Hua, I want to learn boxing!

There was a reason why Fu Hua wanted to keep Ming Yu until the end.

"I saw you defeat many tactical mechas of Anti-Entropy alone in Changkong City at that time."

Facing Mingyu who came to the training ground, Fu Hua said with interest.

That dazzling super-railroad cannon was indeed very powerful, but unfortunately...

——That move is too energy-consuming, and he will have nothing left after using it.

Mingyu's mouth twitched slightly.

This kind of self-destructive tactic should only be considered in times of crisis.

For a serious fight, a more energy-efficient approach would be needed, just like he had considered yesterday.

Taking a deep breath, Mingyu used the fighting skills he had just figured out last night.

Wisps of electric light surrounded his body, causing his hair to slightly rise.

Theoretically, if an ordinary person came into contact with him in this state, they would be paralyzed and fall to the ground due to the electric current.

Of course, for a being of Fu Hua's level, this level of electric current probably wouldn't cause any interference.

Ready for battle, Mingyu rushed towards Fu Hua at high speed with a sword in hand.

Because of his experience of being possessed by Yaezakura and sparring with the Herrscher of Thunder, it was no surprise that he chose the katana as his weapon.

Her sword skills are much inferior to Mei's, but her speed is better... Overall, she should be on par with Mei.

After a brief fight, Fu Hua made a judgment in his mind.

Just when she was about to knock Mingyu away with a light palm like she did with the three girls before her, her attack missed.

"……Um?"

Mingyu's body suddenly turned with the sword as the center, completing an inhuman movement and forcibly avoiding her fatal attack.

Fu Hua was slightly stunned, then she saw through Ming Yu's actions.

By using the attraction of electromagnetic force, can you perform actions that are impossible under normal circumstances?

...After all, why can this young man also control lightning?

Fu Hua was puzzled by this.

It's a pity that she is not a talent in scientific research and cannot figure out his nature.

Because this move was so unexpected, she had to use just a little force to knock Mingyu away. At the same time, just like she disarmed Meiyi, she easily knocked the sword out of Mingyu's hand.

However, the sword that was knocked away was not held in his hand as expected, but flew into the air and returned to Mingyu's hand at a strange angle.

"I see... So they used electromagnetic force to hold the weapons that were blown away."

Fu Hua nodded appreciatively.

His ability to adapt to changing circumstances during battle is quite outstanding.

“…There is another trick!”

Mingyu jumped a little further, stood still, and released the power in his body.

In an instant, all the equipment on the weapons rack not far away was attracted to him.

In an instant, dozens of weapons of different types floated around Mingyu.

Using the weapons in the sky as cover, he rushed towards Fu Hua again.

The gray-haired woman stopped, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly punched out with her fists controlling the wind.

【Inch power·Thunderbolt】!

Just like a tornado suddenly appeared out of nowhere, all the approaching weapons were disrupted from their original trajectory and were blown aside.

Mingyu, who was approaching again with the cover of the weapon group, was also knocked to the ground as expected.

"Ha... I lose, I lose."

——He has tried many times through backtracking, and the current level is already the best result he can achieve in sparring with Fu Hua.

Although he was able to dodge some fatal moves in advance and slightly prolong the game time by getting beaten, all his attempts became meaningless once Fu Hua became more serious and used the Inch Heart Fist.

This is probably what is often called "stuck at a level". No matter how hard Mingyu tries, at this stage, it is impossible for him to defeat Fu Hua, or even injure her.

Of course, knowing Fu Hua's true identity, he would not say that he would defeat her like Kiana did.

He knew that the gray-haired woman in front of him had more than 50,000 years of life experience and was a pioneer from the previous civilization era.

Although her strength has been greatly reduced due to years of wear and tear and various events, it is now clear that Fu Hua is far from being a mere A-level Valkyrie.

This identity was simply forged by Otto to facilitate her activities in St. Freya Academy.

In fact, even though Fu Hua is so weak now, in the entire destiny, only Youlan Dell and Li Suchang who is still sleeping can be compared with her.

The reason why he keeps trying is...

"You are very good. You have the potential to be a warrior."

Fu Hua came up to him with a smile, and stretched out her hand slightly, trying to pull him to take it.

"By the way, Senior Fu Hua, I have a favor to ask..."

Ming Yu, who was knocked to the ground, suddenly raised his head and looked at the other party with sparkling eyes:

"The boxing technique you just used looks quite exquisite. I am very interested. Could you please teach me how to practice?"

——Well, this is his real purpose.

The techniques used by Fu Hua were his improvements based on the fighting techniques of previous civilizations, supplemented by Shen Yin's Taixu sword energy and the accompanying Cunxin boxing.

The famous [Inch Power·Open the Sky] is one of them.

Since he wants to become stronger, he naturally cannot miss any possibility.

However, when Fu Hua dealt with the three imperial families before, she easily defeated them without seriously using the Inch Heart Fist. If she wanted to bring up this matter, she would have to force out her fist skills on her own.

Well, that's why he keeps trying.

"...If you can master the basic fighting techniques of the Valkyrie, I can teach you, no problem."

Fu Hua was slightly stunned and replied.

As expected of the former Red Kite Immortal and pioneer, he is not stingy in teaching his skills to others.

Of course, if you want to learn this set of boxing from her, it is quite difficult in itself. After all, the essence of Cunxin boxing is the opening sword form in [Taixu Sword Qi].

——Five hundred years ago, there were only seven people in the entire Shenzhou continent who were qualified to practice Taixu Sword Qi.

Although Fu Hua no longer remembers that past, she knows one thing that remains unchanged: if she wants to practice, she must first lay a solid foundation.

"I understand. A tall building is built from the ground up...right?"

Mingyu nodded.

What he can do now and what he needs to do most is to lay a solid foundation.

Even if one could face danger countless times to find the optimal solution through backtracking, even if one could gain extraordinary abilities through feedback... but if one did not have the basic strength to exert them, they would not be able to unleash their full power.

Similarly, if one is not strong enough and faces great danger, it is very likely that one will not be able to find a solution to the situation, just like the result of the current battle with Fu Hua.

Fu Hua nodded slightly, smiled softly and said:

"But...if you really want to, you can come to the forest east of the academy at six o'clock every morning. I will do morning exercises there and can guide you at the same time."

Chapter 23 Girl, You Are in Love

After the rehearsal battle was over, Mingyu and the other three members of the Yu Sanjia were all rated B as the standard, as expected.
