Chapter 3: This is my promise

"I don't have alot of time so here i am to accompany you!"

After some firm voices fell, Kiana jumped and ran quickly along the path toward the Blue Mechs.

And those Mechs are not just for show Because they also started attacked without hesitation towards the intruder.

All kinds of Bullets and missiles flew towards Kiana but she didn't panic and instead rely on her baseball bat in her hand and agile movement skills as she ran towards the Mechs and attacking them.

—————————

Moments later‚ after getting rid of those annoying Mechs, Kiana finally came to the shining roof.

At the top of the building‚ a sphere glowing with purple light was constantly exuding a dangerous aura. Even Bronya and others that are spectating this through screen could see how dangerous it was.

However, Kiana in the screen rushed up to it without hesitation. When she approached the Honkai Energy bomb, the overflowing Honkai Energy slammed her body like a dangerous waves of water. The severe pain made her unable to help it but to let out a painful groan.

Because she was too close to Honkai Energy, purple-red lines had started to appear on her body and the Honkai Energy was rapidly eroding her body.

Kiana clenched her teeth and endured unimaginable pain. Under the impacts of waves of Honkai Energy, she moved towards it step by step and grabbed the Honkai Energy bomb.

The feeling of being eroded by the Honkai Energy had made her body collapse slowly in a very painful manner. It was like there are countless worms roaming under the skin biting off every muscle fibers and nerves in her body.

But she has already endured more painful things compared to the physical pain that she is experiencing right now. The pain she suffered in the heart that day at the Schicksal Headquarters‚ in that imaginary space it was truly unbearable.

The endless pain flooded into Kiana's body like a tide, irritating her nerves‚ her eyes had turned yellow, and her expression was full of painful struggle, as if she was struggling to control something within...

(Smebius: I put this because it seemed more appropriate?)

At this moment, a familiar and gentle voice rang in her ear.

"Kiana."

Kiana's eyes widened suddenly as she looked around in disbelief.

"Himeko... sensei..."

Murata Himeko, whose figure was somewhat transparent, put her hands on Kiana's shoulder as she smiled gently at her and said to her.

"Yeah... I promised you..."

Kiana's mind, originally blurred by the pain, seemed to have been relief of the pain that she was experiencing in an instant, her expression became firm and her eyes were no longer blurry.

"I will turn this imperfect story into what we expect it to be!"

Kiana burst out with all her strength and flew high into the sky with the Honkai Energy bomb which was powerful enough to destroy the entire city like a meteor crashing towards the ground.

At the same time, her body also changed and the clothes representing the Herrscher appeared on her body, but her eyes were not yellow but a deep blue.

It was the same motif as her battle suit and her own hair color.

She now controls the power of the Herrscher.

———————————

Above the city, a meteor explosion ignited in flames, like the gods trying to wipe out humanity, illuminating the sky in the dark night.

Under the sky, the people in the city looked up at the sky and they all saw the shining meteor.

They were surprised, excited, and talked a lot like it was a light show.

But they didn't know that just now, they just survive a certain death.

Except for a few people, no one knew what that shooting star meant and no one knew how much a girl had paid the price to save them.

In the sky Kiana threw the bomb up high and when she was about the exhaust her strength, Kiana pierced the bomb with the void spear, detonating the Honkai Energy bomb high in the sky.

The intense light illuminates the top of the sky city like daytime!

But Kiana, who lost her strength, fell silently from the sky like a dead leaf falling from the tree, but she had a satisfied smile on her face.

"This is... my promise."

——————————

As the scene ends the three of them were still immersed of what just happened.

"Is that really me?"

Kiana couldn't help but question.

Although she is always full of confidence in herself, she feels that sooner or later she will become the strongest Valkyrie and can do anything to protect those she cherish the most.

But looking at the her future self in the screen just now, the strong and brave self who is not afraid of pain like a hero‚ she still finds it hard to believe. Is that really herself?

To be honest, she was fascinated at her future self.

"Although it's hard to believe... but Himeko-sensei also appeared in the screen, so that should be the stupid Kiana future self." said Bronya.

Bronya took a breath‚ calmed herself down and said "Then our initial judgment should now be confirmed. The question that was given to us by the system is about what will happen in the future."

"In other words, will Kiana really become a Herrscher in the future?" Mei said worriedly.

Bronya nodded and then looked at Kiana, "We can see from the picture just now that although Kiana has become a Herrscher, she seemed to be conscious of what was happening just like the answer said. In other words, she briefly controlled the her Herrscher power and saved the people of Sky City."

"Haha, as expected of me!" Kiana grinned, as she put her hands on her hips triumphantly, because she was very proud of her future self.

Bronya rolled her eyes at her and said angrily, "Stupid Kiana, the you are now‚ your strength still far from the Kiana on the screen."

"That's me too!" Kiana wiped her nose and said with some longing, "I am so beautiful in the future but when I will become like that?"

"Hmm.... The Kiana in the picture doesn't seem to have changed much from your current appearance. If I guess correctly it may have happen in a year or two." Mei analyzed Kiana future self.

"In such a short time, can stupid Kiana really grow to the level of Kiana in the future?" Bronya touched her chin, expressing her doubts and confusion.

"Maybe something happened." Mei seemed to have remembered something as she looked a bit sad.

"Just like me, when my father was still there, I was the eldest daughter who was ignorant about the world around me. But after my father was wrongfully imprisoned, I went through a lot until I came to St. Freya Academy. And the current me have already changed alot from my past self." Mei said melancholy.

"In other words, will something happen to me in the future?" Kiana rubbed her head in confusion.

(Smebius: confused because she is baka tuna)

"There was something in the screen just now that made Bronya a little concerned." Bronya said "Why does Kiana see Himeko-Sensei vision when she was in extreme pain?"

"This... Maybe Kiana remembered what Himeko-Sensei taught her." Mei said uncertainly.

"Then why didn't she think of Bronya or Mei-neechan or maybe even the principal of the school, but only Himeko-Sensei?"

"This....."

"So Bronya has a bold guess that Himeko-Sensei is precisely the key to Kiana's growth and change in the future."

"Isn't this the case like most stories? When the protagonist is in a crisis, he/she always thinks of the person who has the most impact on their life." Bronya added

"Bronya, what do you mean..." Mei's expression suddenly turned ugly as she thought of the possibility of what might happen in the future‚ but she was afraid to say it outloud.
