“Special team against the Honkai?” ×4
Everyone present felt some surprise.
MEI and Mobius were surprised because they had no idea when such a team even existed.
Elysia was surprised because she thought the name did not sound nice.
Vill-V was even more confused.
She had only just met them and was already being invited to join some special team against the Honkai.
Vill-V felt the only reason she was invited was her talent.
She thought Yuji had taken an interest in her brain.
To this, Yuji’s answer was: yes and no.
Vill-V’s brain was certainly important, but what mattered more was Vill-V herself—a beautiful girl with a good figure who was also generous.
Who could refuse that?
Yuji had already decided that the future members of this team should at least be people of great value to the Previous Era, like the Thirteen Flame-Chasers.
As for this team, it was something Yuji thought of while changing clothes.
He had a slight collecting habit, so… his small goal was to at least collect all Thirteen Flame-Chasers.
“Then next, let me give a simple introduction.”
“…And that is what the Honkai is like.”
Yuji’s speech was mainly for Vill-V and Klein.
As for whether he worried they might tell others, the answer was not at all.
At this time, no one understood the source of the Honkai.
Without evidence and data, no one would dare believe anything randomly—Mobius was the same.
So Yuji and MEI were betting the lives of an entire region.
“Setting aside whether your speculation is correct, how can you be sure that what you said is true?”
“We can’t be sure.”
Vill-V did not speak either.
She could feel that Yuji was not lying to her.
At least it sounded scientific.
“So I’m only inviting you. Whenever you are willing to believe us, you can come back at any time.”
Yuji did not care whether Vill-V joined them right now.
He only wanted to plant a seed in her heart.
When the Honkai truly broke out later, Vill-V would know what to do.
“…Alright. After the Third Honkai breaks out, if it is the same as what you said, I will join you.”
Vill-V’s expression no longer looked like a magician.
Rather than a magician, she now looked more like an Expert.
Klein indicated that wherever Dr. Mobius went, she would follow.
Mobius was very proud of this.
“Doctor, don’t forget there is still a meeting tomorrow. Also, someone has raised objections about you leaving the Flame-Chasers without permission and bringing people back without authorization.”
Mobius heard this, rolled her eyes, glanced at Elysia, and then pulled Klein into the next room.
Not long after, Klein came out looking helpless, followed by a smiling Mobius.
Vill-V glanced at the clock.
“Elysia, it’s getting late. You should send me back.”
“If we don’t go back now, we’ll be discovered.”
Elysia looked at the darkening sky outside the window and left with Vill-V, bouncing along.
“Let’s go. It’s getting late. I’ll take you to fill out the forms and officially join the Flame-Chasers.”
They left Mobius’s laboratory, then left through the main gate of the First Research Institute, and continued toward a deeper area.
By the time Yuji and the others finished the procedures, the sky had already turned dark.
Yuji and the others still had no dormitory, so they temporarily stayed at Mobius’s place.
What surprised Yuji was that Mobius’s place was surprisingly clean.
At least he did not find any clothes randomly thrown around.
(Klein: I do clean regularly.)
After tasting the food Yuji cooked with her eyes closed, Mobius was surprised to find that it was actually so delicious.
“You really make me happy, Yu.”
Mobius did not have many rooms.
After arguing back and forth, they finally reached a conclusion—MEI and Mobius would stay together, and Yuji would stay alone.
The next day, at the First Research Institute, in Mobius’s laboratory, Yuji had a serious look on his face.
He had now officially joined the Flame-Chasers, and the system also gave a notification.
“Ding, congratulations Host for completing Beginning of the Flame-Chasers. Rewards have been issued.”
But these were not the important points.
The important point was that under Mobius’s lead, he came into contact with Honkai Energy!
Yuji could feel a cold energy enter his body, but after a while it disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that nothing happened to Yuji, Mobius showed an expression as if this was only natural, then gradually increased the dosage.
MEI, who was watching from outside, was a bit worried.
She kept her eyes fixed on him, afraid something might go wrong.
Although MEI trusted Yuji a lot, that did not mean she would not worry about his safety.
As Mobius injected more and more Honkai Energy into the room, Yuji’s feeling grew stronger.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and clenched it a few times in the air.
He could feel his physical fitness slowly improving.
Even though this power increase was very slow, this was the Honkai world.
The one thing it did not lack was Honkai Energy.
For some reason, Yuji just knew that this kind of improvement had no upper limit.
In other words, as long as he was given enough time and enough Honkai Energy, he could grow strong enough to smash the planet under his feet with a single punch.
In the end, Yuji walked out of the test room completely unharmed.
His strength had also improved a little.
“Are you okay? How does it feel?”
MEI looked at Yuji with some worry, touching him here and there to check if there were any signs of Honkai corrosion.
“He doesn’t need your worry. Right now he is just like the Honkai itself. This is the first time I have seen a human who can 100% resist the Honkai.”
Yes, it was 100%.
Yuji’s use of the Honkai had completely reached the level of control.
He was even more of a Herrscher than a Herrscher.
But why was this?
Clearly I have no Honkai Energy resistance or adaptability.
Is it because of the system?
For some reason, Yuji thought of what the system said when he first transmigrated.
“Ding, no need to worry. The Host and the system coexist. The system will not let the Host die easily.”
The words the system once said were still clear in his mind.
But after Yuji asked the system, the system’s answer completely denied it.
It had not done such a thing.
However, whether it was the system or not, at least Yuji no longer needed to worry about dying from Honkai corrosion.
Speaking of which, besides letting him form bonds, the system did not seem to do much else.
Sometimes Yuji even suspected that this system was a half-finished product.
The main story strategy missions had no favorability prompts.
The backpack could not be used as a spatial backpack and could only hold things drawn or given by the system.
Even the mission reward descriptions were only a few short sentences, without even an instruction manual.
Fortunately, the system had intelligence.
Although most of the time it would answer that authority was insufficient, at least it would answer some questions.
It had already surpassed 99% of systems!

Next, Yuji followed along and did some more tests.
After confirming there was no danger, Mobius directly forged a fake set of data and put it into the database.
After that, MEI began following Mobius to do some experiments related to Honkai Energy, while Yuji watched from the side.
“Why are you just standing there watching OMO?”
Mobius suddenly stopped guiding MEI’s movements.
After all, she was busy here, and seeing someone leisurely standing to the side, who could hold back from saying something?
“I’m just afraid of causing trouble for you two, you know?”
One sentence made MEI roll her eyes.
Mobius might not know, but how could MEI not understand?
With Yuji’s Learning Ability, he would probably catch up to Mobius before long.
Of course, what Yuji said was not a lie either.
This was the drawback of the system skill and Learning Ability.
The system skills used the current world’s level as the standard.
In other words, system skills could at most upgrade to the strongest person in the current domain.
His learning limit also stopped there.
Although the talent of Learning Ability had improved the activity of Yuji’s brain and made him a lot smarter than before, compared to MEI and Mobius it was still far from enough.
“Alright, stop talking nonsense. Since you’re not joining, then go out and find someone else to play with.”
Mobius did not expect this man to be particularly smart either.
After all, she only wanted his body (literally).
What was more important now was teaching MEI.
After communicating with MEI for a while, she also discovered that MEI’s talent was truly powerful.
“Alright, then I’ll head out first.”
Yuji was not surprised. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Mobius was a pure pathfinder.
In the unknown field of the Honkai, the current Mobius had walked further than anyone else.
Although the price was that she easily attracted other people’s jealousy and dislike.
But Yuji would not let Mobius walk too lonely.
(Why does this feel like she’s about to die?)
Leaving the First Research Institute, Yuji followed the sensing in his heart to find Elysia.
Last night he had been pondering the reward related to Elysia.
In the end he figured out some of the tricks.
This reward had created an invisible connection between him and Elysia, linking their emotions.
It was just that Elysia was stronger, and she herself already had the power to see through people’s hearts, so Elysia’s feelings were more powerful.
This was only Yuji’s guess.
But he could not understand why Elysia could sense that he was not a person of this world.
Fortunately, this skill was a reward for him, not for Elysia, so Yuji held the initiative.
He had figured out the ability to block the other side.
As for whether to block or not, it would depend on the situation.
After all, it was Elysia.
He did not think there was any harm.
Following the sensing, Yuji found Elysia.
The moment he entered, he heard some noisy sounds.
What came into view was a very wide training ground.
Right now Elysia was standing inside, her bow and arrow pointed at the man opposite her.
That man gave Yuji a slight impression.
He had seen him when handling the procedures.
The impression he gave Yuji was that of a warrior.
Sure enough, when Yuji saw him again he was on the training ground.
But why was he fighting with Elysia?
Yuji moved a bit closer and then nudged the soldier next to him: “Excuse me, why did they start fighting?”
The soldier glanced at the researcher badge on Yuji’s body, understood his identity, and told him in a low voice: “They’re not fighting. This is training. See that man? His name is Ato. He’s the captain here.”
Yuji nodded.
So he was Ato.
Before this he had only seen a little about him in the documents.
He no longer remembered much more.
It seemed he was Griseo’s father.
“And the other one is the great contributor from the last Honkai outbreak. She put in a lot of effort when fighting the Herrscher.” (The author couldn’t find when the Herrscher was named or who named it, so let’s just treat it as named by Mobius and already named.)
This Yuji was relatively clear about, since it was Elysia’s first battle after joining the Flame-Chasers.
Yuji watched Elysia’s graceful movements.
Every step precisely avoided Ato’s attacks, almost like a cat playing with a mouse.
Elysia also noticed Yuji’s arrival and gave him a “I’ll be right there” look.
Then, as an infantry, she charged toward Ato.
Ato did not expect that Elysia, who had been dodging, would suddenly launch an attack (written as dodging, read as playing).
In a hurry he pulled out a dagger from his leg.
Just as he pulled it out, Elysia had already closed in.
Ato used the force of pulling out the dagger to strike.
The first slash was dodged by Elysia stepping to the side.
Then Ato continued with the force and kicked out.
He did not expect that Elysia’s close combat was also extremely strong.
She quickly grabbed the hand Ato was holding the knife with, snatched it away, then while Ato was kicking she quickly squatted down and struck his other leg directly.
Ato, who had lost his balance, rapidly changed moves in mid-air, planning to retreat first.
But Elysia would not give him the chance.
After all, she had something to do now.
So while Ato was changing moves she directly kicked him.
Ato fell to the ground and had not yet reacted when Elysia returned the dagger she had taken from him—throwing it to the ground next to Ato’s head, scraping off a few strands of hair, and sticking it straight in.
Although there were quite a few movements, in reality only a few seconds had passed.
Elysia quickly ended the fight and then bounced over to Yuji.
“How was it, Yu? Wasn’t my performance just now really great?”
Yuji saw that the nearby warriors’ gazes were all looking toward him, so he directly took Elysia’s hand.
“It was really great. I got to see such a wonderful performance the moment I arrived.”
“Thank you. Then shall we go somewhere else to talk?”
