A/N: YATTA!

Narrator POV

Schicksal and World Serpent got attacked 10 days ago, by an unknown attacker

Otto has gone missing, the HQ of Schicksal have been destroyed, and Durandal took over until then

World Serpent have received colossal damage too, and the attacker managed to escape Kevin

For the group? Y/N was teaching Kiana and Bronya about one of his technique

Y/N: Alright class! Today's lesson is, the Honkai Flash. Training dummy please!

A training dummy was placed at his side, as he pat it

Y/N: I'll be clear with you 2... Your control over Honkai energy sucks ass

Bronya: But we can still use our Herrscher power, so how can it be ba-

Y/N: Can you open an Authority?

Kiana: I... don't want to try

Y/N: If you two control your honkai energy better, your Herrscher power would be more precise, and way stronger. A control of Honkai energy like me, no one at the moment could stand in your way. Well, except me, of course

Bronya: Woah....

Y/N: Kiana, come and hit the dummy with all your strengh

Kiana: Uh.... sure?

She approached, before taking a deep breath, and hit the dummy at full force with a punch

The dummy moved, but was still intact

Y/N: This dummy have been reinforced so it could tank an S-rank hit

He hit it too, as the impact made a huge sound, but the dummy was still fine

Y/N: "How can we destroy it then?" is what you may think. Well, it's easy

He took a step, as sparks appeard around his fist, and he hit the dummy

Y/N: Honkai Flash!

The dummy exploded in pieces, as Bronya and Kiana looked shocked

Y/N: Gathering the Honkai energy around you, and focus it on your next hit. It will be like landing a critical hit, doing 10x more damage 

He turn to them, hands on his hips

Y/N: But of course, it's not easy because...

He point at Kiana

Y/N: You lack the brain

Kiana: Hey!

He point at Bronya

Y/N: You lack the brawn

Bronya: Bronya take offense of that

Y/N: That would be a problem, if I wasn't the teacher. And what's the best way to train?

Bronya: Kiana, a portal now-!

Kiana: Yes-!

He was already at their size, with a smile on his face, eyes closed

Y/N: Real life situation!

They tried to get away, but sadly, they couldn't, as his grip on them was too strong

He was about to continue, before he blinked, and sigh

Y/N: Or maybe it's not the good thing.....

Instantly, Kiana and Bronya hurried to leave, to their next destination, Mount Taixuan

Now that Y/N was alone in the training room, or in the Hyperion, he could finally start

Y/N: I know you're here. So let's not play hide & seek

???: Oh, so you could sense me already, that's why you let them leave?

In front of him, something slowly appeard, as he smiled

Y/N POV

I knew it. After Schicksal and World Serpent, she came here to meet me

I may know everything that will happen in the game, but I don't know what will happen to me. It's like knowing the world's future, but not yours

Which means me being here and being this powerful altered things, and how they will happen

I wonder what would have happened if I was a weakling instead?

(A/N: He doesn't know)

In front of me stood Hua, who smirked

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

Y/N: Indeed. Been what, 6 months? You look a bit more energetic and expressive now

Fu Hua(?): Yes! It feels so wonderful, to be alive once again!

Y/N: Anyway, who are you? I don't remember Fu Hua being like this, and having so much killing intent in her

Fu Hua(?): It's easy! I am her, but just, better!

She started to laugh, as I was unfazed, looking at her with the same smile

Fu Hua(?): But if I'm here, it's for something you can understand

Y/N: Oh? And what is it?

Fu Hua(?): I'm here to fight you, Y/N! I fought Kevin, and had a blast doing it! So now, I want to see if you can be as good as him!

Y/N: Oh? So you fought Kevin? Maybe you're someone I can consider fun fighting against

Fu Hua only smirked, as she got in position

Y/N: And I can see how confused you are.... Then let's do something. If, during our fight, you manage to land one hit on me....

I smirked, challenging her

Y/N: I'll admit you are the real Fu Hua

Her eyes gleamed in excitement, as the smirk on her face grew, and she instantly launched herself at him

Fu Hua(?): That's all I need to know!

She appeard in front of him, fist in front of his face, as he only smiled

Flashback

Fu Hua(?): In term of power, how stronger do you think I am compared to Y/N?

Otto: If I am generous enough.... You wouldn't stand a chance, old friend

Fu Hua(?): Oh? He is that strong?

Otto: Compared to the Current and Previous Era, Y/N is as strong as Kevin

Flashback

Fu Hua(?): Otto.... You damn liar...!

She was currently in the air, after being tossed, as she was recovering from her injuries

???: Is that all you've got....

She regained her focus, as she yelled

Fu Hua(?): Not yet!

In front of her was Y/N, who was rushing at her at greater speed

Y/N: Fu Hua?!

In half a second, he sent 4 blows at her torso, before appearing behind her, and toss her a giant rock he had taken before rushing at her

In the old city of Nagazora, happened something

It couldn't be called a battle, or a tragedy

It was hell

In mid air, Fu Hua recovered from her injuries, before using her ki to attack him in the air

Y/N dodged them all, landing on the side of a building

He destroyed a window, and got inside the building, walking in the corridors, casually

Fu Hua(?): I have the power of Fenghuang Down and of the Phoenix with me! So don't think I'm some small fry!

In front of Y/N was a door,who instantly burnt, as fire aimed at him

He rushed inside, before jumping off through the wall, as Fu Hua was heading his way, fist ready

He blocked it, before blocking a kick from her

She tried to use her other fist to hit him, but he spin her, making her fail her attack

Using the power of the Phoenix, her hands started to glow, as Y/N kneed his chin, making her lose focus for a second

But she instantly attacked with a giant ki attack, that destroyed the building behind Y/N

Fu Hua's hand were free, as suddendly, the back of her collar was pulled, spin around, and tossed to the ground

On the way, she hit multiple signs, windows and cars, as she catched herself

But before she could understand, she got hit on top of her head, as she crashed down through multiple layers of concrete, and land in the sewers

She was laying down, unmoving, before her fist clenched, and a burst of fire got out of the hole

She was in the air, glaring furiously at Y/N, who was smiling casually, hands in his pockets

Fu Hua(?): As strong as Kevin he said... How wrong could he be...

She started to use Fenghuang Down to create thousand of sword, all rushing at Y/N, as he blocked or dodged them casually

Fu Hua(?): Compared to the Kevin I know and remember......

Y/N jumped on a building, rushing from down to top, avoiding the swords, as in a flick of his hand, they all shattered

Fu Hua(?): That guy is a freaking anomaly...!

She saw him, in mid air, as a rock passed for half a second, as he wasn't there

Panicking, she tried to search for him, before she turn around, and see Y/N was already in front of her, with a giant smile on his face

They crashed through multiple buildings, as inside one, Fu Hua was sliding on the ground

But before she could catch herself, Y/N kicked her body, making her cough blood, and slide back again

When she bounced off the ground, Y/N kicked her stomach, making her fly in the air

Fu Hua(?): To think there was this much difference between us....

He appeard above her, smirking, as he grabbed her head, and slammed her to the ground, creating an immense shockwave

Fu Hua(?): Just what the hell are you, Y/N L/N?!

When the dust died down, Y/N was Fu Hua was gone

Y/N: Oh, she's gone. Guess it was too much for her to handle

He looked around, and see the old city was burning, and destroyed

Scratching his head, he sigh

Y/N: Welp, have to rebuild it I guess. All of my Minecraft skills will be put to test now...

Timeskip

Kiana and Bronya, who were on the fake Mount Taixuan that Hua created for them, got ready to fight the "Fake" Fu Hua, who was surprised

Fu Hua(?): You two want to fight me? Okay, I guess I have no choice but to persuade you with fists

She took her stance, and went to fight them

And no surprise, she was far stronger than them, by the control of Honkai energy she had compared to them

They got pushed back, as Hua smirked

Fu Hua(?): Is that all you two can do? No wonder you rely on Y/N so much with this pathetic strengh of yours!

Bronya acted as the bait, so Kiana, who was talking with Fu Hua(the real one), could make a plan to take her down. A barrier envelopped around Bronya and Hua, as they started to fight

But before the plan of Kiana and Fu Hua could be discussed further, the barrier broke, and Bronya was sent flying

Kiana: Bronya!

Fu Hua(?): And that settles it-

CLAP!

But Bronya disappeard from their sight

Fu Hua(?): What the? Don't tell me-!

???: Yo. Sorry for being late, but it's ok now

Kiana turned around, as her eyes light up, and she smiled

Y/N: Reinforcement is here now

Kiana: Y/N.... You always arrive at the worst timing, you know?

Y/N: Yeah Yeah, I know

Hua was... conflicted

Why does Y/N looked.... weaker? Why doesn't he emanate that overwhelming and absolute power she felt when she fought against him?

Then it hit her, as she smirked widely

He cannot go all out when there is someone with him, or people he care for near

He have to restrict himself, to make sure he don't accidently hurt them, either by his Authority, or by his power

And since Mount Taixuan was her domain of Authority...

Victory was right in front of her

Y/N: Kiana, I'll be clear with you

He lay Bronya near a rock, before sitting down next to her, his arms crossed

Y/N: I won't lay a finger until you land a Honkai Flash. And if you cannot do it and I have to step in, don't even think of talking to me again. Am I clear?

Kiana: Crystal clear!

Everything was going right for Hua

She just have to overpower Kiana, and make sure to not kill her, and then, she can take care of Y/N without any trouble

And so, boosted by the sight of victory in front of her, she decided to let Kiana attack her

Kiana went to do her attack, as the will to win, save her friend, and protect everyone... empowered her anger of her weakness

And this, was instantly seen by Y/N

The hit landed, but it didn't worked, as Hua just slided back, smirking

Fu Hua(?): Ah, I guess you truly failed here, Kiana

Y/N: Kiana

Her eyes widened, as she turn around, and see Y/N

Before she could speak, he slapped her. Not hard enough, but still to snap her out of her state

Y/N: Calm and confidence is an important trigger to use Honkai energy correctly. Sometimes, people can be taken down purely because they accidentally angered their foe. And the opposite is also true

He turn to Hua, who was smirking at them

Y/N: You may think you are weak, yes. However, it doesn't mean it is true. This feeling is holding you back from controlling your energy. Get rid of it, and stay cool

He smiled at her

Y/N: Are those stray thoughts gone now?

Kiana: Yeah, not a single one left

She smiled, before turning back to Hua

Kiana: Thank you so much, Y/N!

Y/N: Then go, and do that blow!

She nodded, rushing at Hua, who rushed back at her

Kiana managed to dodge a blow, as sparks gathered around her gloved fist, and she hit Hua, who grew surprised by the power of the blow

Kiana: Honkai Flash!

Hua was pushed back, as Y.N smiled proudly

Y/N: She's grown

He started to walk forward, at Kiana's side, as they both got ready

Hua extended her illusion again, as now, Kiana, Y/N, Hua and Fu Hua were back at the attack of Schicksal

Fu Hua(?): Now, let me show you everything... so you can understand me better

She smiled, as it started....
