A/N: Nah, I'd get depressed

Narrator POV

Training time! And Y/N was being used as the training dummy

Y/N: Why did I accepted that again?

Theresa: Don't be a baby. It's not like it will hurt, right?

Y/N: It still feels wrong to let people attack me at their free will

Kiana: It'll just be me and Bronya, so there's no need to worry

Bronya: Or is Y/N scared?

Y/N: As if I'll be scared of you 2 pipsqueak

This hit a nerve, as Kiana changed into her Void Drifter form, while Bronya changed into her Herrscher of Reason form

Bronya: No mercy

Kiana: No mercy

Bronya charged her canon, before shooting at Y/N, as the said one didn't move

Before the laser could hit, it was blocked by a sort of barrier, deflecting it

Kiana didn't lose time and run around Y/N, shooting at him with her guns

But all the bullets stopped mid air, before it could touch him

Kiana: If ranged fight won't work, then, I go for what I do best!

She charged at him, a spear of the void in hand, and tried to hit him with it

But no avail, this barrier around him was far too strong for them to even land a hit

Theresa looked at this, before turning to the side

Theresa: Seele, Rozaliya, Liliya, go too. It'll be a good training

Seele: R-Really? We won't be a bother?

Rozaliya: It'll be fine! Bronya keep saying Y/N is super duper strong! So even in 5v1, he won't be bothered!

Liliya: For once, Rozaliya isn't an idiotka

Theresa: Now go! Or else it would be too late

The 3 of them nodded, before rushing in

Seele: Bronya-Onee-chan! We're here to help!

Bronya: Seele! 

Rozaliya: No need to worry! The Olenyeva twins have arrived to save the day!

Liliya: Rozaliya jinxed it again...

Kiana: Girls! Thank you!

As the 5 girls started to attack, no matter what they tried, they wouldn't even be able to graze him, or even land a hit on him

They were breathing heavily, as Y/N yawned, looking at his phone

Kiana: Not yet....! We need at least one hit....!

Rozaliya: I knew Y/N was super duper strong, but not super duper hyper strong!

Liliya: This doesn't make sense, idiotka

Seele: It feels like... that no matter what... We can't reach him...

Bronya: Tch....

She used her canon one last time, as it ended up like any other attempts

They all stopped, exhausted, and defeated, while Y/N didn't fought back, or even budge once

Y/N, noticing there weren't anymore attack, looked up, about to talk, until he saw their state

Exhausted, frustrated, and mostly, sad

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't even hit him once

Rozaliya: I wish I could be this strong...

Liliya: It would be so much easier...

Seele: Why am I so weak....

Kiana: It's still not enough...

Bronya: It feels like we're not moving...

This barrier between them and him, what prevented them to reach him

Y/N looked at them, silent, before he walked past them

But not before speaking up

Y/N: You all can grow stronger. So keep moving, so you can keep up with me

Their eyes widened, as Y/N walked away, yawning

Y/N: I'm so beat, I'm gonna take one hell of a nap

And the only thing they could see, was his back, as he walked away

Timeskip - Y/N POV

I was on top of the Hyperion, laying down, looking at the sky

???: Well, quite the spot to take, don't you think?

Looking to the side, I saw Theresa, walking to me, before sitting at my side

Y/N: Meh, it's calm, and the view is nice

Theresa: On that, we can agree

We stayed silent, looking at the sky

Y/N: So, here to know how I feel, eh?

Theresa: You really know everything, seriously...

Y/N: Always thinking of what a customer would want. That's what I learnt from work

Theresa: I saw you looked.... a bit down

Y/N: Hm. I guess I am

Theresa: You can speak to us, Y/N

Y/N: No point in doing so. No offense or anything, but you all wouldn't understand

Theresa: But still! You need to get it off your chest at some point-!

Y/N: The loneliness that comes with unrivaled strengh. That is my curse as the strongest

I jumped back to my feet

Theresa: If we go, and fight Otto or Kevin, will we be able to help you at least?!

I turned to her, my eyes glowing blue

Y/N: No. A hundred percent no. I can say that with certainty

She tensed at my cold voice, before I chuckled

Y/N: Okay!

I ruffled her hair, smirking

Y/N: Leave the rest to me

I turned around, going for the other way

Y/N: But I might need you all to push yourselves a bit, though. So grow stronger! I'll be off for a bit, I have a place to be, see ya!

Timeskip - Narrator POV

Y/N was sitting on the grass, a bottle of alcohol and flowers near him

Y/N: Yo. I guess I'm an ass, coming this late to visit....

He smiled, looking in front of him

Y/N: Kiana and Bronya are doing fine. They had a lot of hard moments, but they went through it, and managed to overcome it. Mei also had a hard time, but she grew up, and managed to become a real warrior, ready to do anything to save her loved ones...

He looked at the sky

Y/N: I feel bad for not being able to be there for them during those moments. But it was needed, since they grew stronger, and now have the resolve to be better, to protect everyone they love

Closing his eyes, he smirked, letting a breath

Y/N: It's going to be tough. Handling all the Herrschers, Otto, World Serpent and then the Honkai, while making sure no one dies... But I'll manage, because after all, I'm the strongest! So you can rest assured...

He got up, turning around, confidently smiling

Y/N: I will win, and make sure they can end this story the way they want

Where he stood, was a tombstone, written on it

'Here rest Himeko Murata'

Y/N have freed his mind from any grief

He is the freest he ever have been, as from now on, he is speeding things up

Y/N L/N, have awakened, to what he truly can be

And it was at this moment... the balance of the world altered

Humanity wasn't the prey of Honkai anymore

They were a challenger

Timeskip

Back on the Hyperion, Y/N was instantly engulfed by a hug by everyone

Y/N: Huh?

Kiana: You are not staying alone on this, Y/N!

Bronya: You have been there for us, so we won't leave you alone!

Seele: You are so kind too, we can't let you be lonely!

Rozaliya: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'M SO SORRY FOR BEING AN IDIOT BIG BRO Y/N! I SHOULDN'T HAVE MISJUDGED YOU!

Liliya: I-Idiotka, you shouldn't be crying....

Rozaliya: YOU'RE CRYING TOO!

He looked confused, before he understood

Theresa snitched that he might be depressed, and that his overwhelming strengh could separated them from him

And his response? A snarky remark? A rude comment? A heartful talk?

No, he only smiled gently, hugging them back

Y/N: Heh.... I guess this curse was all bullshit in the end....

Chapter 18: Finished

A/N: In the next chapter! ALL HAIL THE HERRSCHER OF SENTIENCE- Wait I never said that

'Chapter 19: The realest Fu Hua'

Fu Hua(?): Yo, long time no see!
