Book 6: Chapter 22:2: Fu Hua’s First Lesson and Spiritual Energy Resurgence? Part 2
At 1,000 points for 50 grams, the tea cost more than all the points Fu Hua had.
Since she had been handling some matters and had yet to accept missions, she had not earned many points. Right after she handled her matters, the worlds suddenly merged, catching her off-guard.
Speaking of which, because of signing a contract with Chen Heng for the Poké Ball containing the Will of Honkai, she owed Chen Heng 1,000 points. Furthermore, it was 1,000 every month.
“That’s right.”
“…You didn’t have to give me such expensive tea. Just ordinary tea would have done.”
“That won’t do. This is a ceremony to accept a master. How can we not use good tea?” Chen Heng couldn’t very well tell the truth: the tea was leftover from what he had served his ancestor.
“Fine, just this once. Don’t be so wasteful in the future.” Fu Hua accepted Chen Heng’s gesture of piety.
Piety?
The thought reminded Fu Hua of her disciples, especially the seven rebellious ones, giving her a headache.
In her original world story trajectory, Cheng Lixue, the only one who treated Fu Hua well, had died protecting her. However, due to Fu Hua’s induction into the Dimension Administrators Association, her fate had become unpredictable, and Cheng Lixue’s life was spared, leaving her with one filial disciple.
Now, Chen Heng was Fu Hua’s second surviving disciple. The first was Cheng Lixue, which meant Chen Heng had to address Cheng Lixue as Senior Sister. However, while he was in the Honkai Impact 3rd’s world, he had once given his senior sister pointers…so the relationship was quite tangled.
“Alright, Master, I’m going to prepare for the college entrance exams.”
“Go ahead.”
“Wait, Master, do you have a job now? Or are you still in school?” Chen Heng asked, realizing something important just as he was about to receive the information for reconciling the difference after the worlds’ merger.
“…I’m a student at St. Freya High School,” Fu Hua answered calmly, though Chen Heng noticed a brief pause.
A 50,000-year-old high school student? Also, St. Freya Academy is indeed intriguing.
[TL Note: St. Freya High School refers to the St. Freya Academy’s Far East Branch established by Theresa Apocalypse. However, there are other branches falling under Schicksal's umbrella in other countries. They are collectively known as St. Freya Academy.]
“Erm…I’m going to prepare for the exams. Goodbye, Master.” Chen Heng decided to avoid the subject.
Once in his room, Chen Heng began communicating with Customer Service.
“Is Customer Service there? Send me the information discrepancy caused by the world merger if you have time.” Since Chen Heng hadn’t been in this world during the merger, and as a member of the Dimension Administrators Association, the association shielded him from any influence resulting from the world consciousness’s action, he didn’t have the memories he should have after the merger.
Alright, coming right up.
After Customer Service sent the message, Chen Heng felt some strange memories enter his mind.
Overall, Chen Heng’s memory didn’t undergo significant changes, and the world merger had minimal effect on him, although not entirely insignificant.
Chen Heng’s situation still comprised having two younger sisters and owning a house, despite losing both parents. There was an elder cousin who had sought refuge with him, Jeanne d’Arc, and two younger sisters who depended on him, Sirin and Ryougi Shiki, both of whom were adopted by his parents.
Two years earlier, Ryougi Shiki had fallen into a coma due to a car accident, becoming vegetative. She was under treatment at the hospital.
In addition, Chen Heng’s household was hosting Fu Hua, the daughter of his father’s good friend.
Furthermore, Fu Hua’s guardian was Cheng Lixue. That’s right, Cheng Lixue. Her disciple became her guardian.
This world consciousness was truly mischievous.
Sirin and Fu Hua were both students at St. Freya Academy, with Sirin attending middle school and Fu Hua in high school. Since it was summer vacation, both were idling at home.
World setting: Japan belongs to China. So, no problems there.
Because of the world merger, and the world of Honkai Impact 3rd having not suffered much damage, Earth’s population had undergone explosive growth. However, the planet had expanded, resolving potential problems related to land and resources.
Overall, Chen Heng was quite pleased with the current setup, especially since Sirin finally had a school to attend.
Meanwhile, part of the hidden world had become exposed, including St. Freya Academy’s Valkyries and the ability users, with ability user schools established worldwide. However, the exposure had occurred only in recent years; the ability users were of the new generation.
However, over 80 percent of the hidden world remained concealed, including Japanese shrine maidens, Chinese cultivators, Greek crusaders, Western church factions, and various mythical creatures like vampires, werewolves, angels, demons, and mystical beasts. The mundane world was still ignorant of these.
St. Freya Academy’s original setup was only as a concealed school for Valkyries, but after the world merger, it had changed, divided into two schools: an inner one for Valkyries and an outer one as a renowned ordinary school with middle school, high school, and university divisions.
Theresa, that shorty, actually has the intelligence to run a world-renowned school?
The world’s changes gave Chen Heng a headache, as the phenomenon was now known as Spiritual Energy Resurgence.
The primary reason for this name was the recently popular novels about Spiritual Energy resurgences, and since the world had indeed seen the emergence of ability users and other peculiar things, many people had accepted this setup.
Spiritual Energy Resurgence? Resurgence, my foot! The Spiritual Energy never waned!
Also, why did the hidden world, concealed for so many years in modern times, suddenly get exposed? What was the world consciousness thinking?
Well, on further thought, it actually makes sense. The world consciousness is a different one now, so a major change in this world is only natural.
This must be what they mean by a change in rulership.
Speaking of which, Chen Heng found the world consciousness missing after he returned. Perhaps the world consciousness had taken in the information from the world automatic mechanisms before returning to the world.
The world consciousness should not have a form in the first place. Perhaps it only maintained a human form while in that catatonic state because of his ancestor.
This did not particularly bother Chen Heng, except that he wouldn’t hear anyone call him father anymore. However, he didn’t need to worry; he had recorded it.
