Chapter 52 She seems to be Seele
……
Please ask for leave for Seele.
Because Seele's injury was real, and almost everyone, like Yun Fuyu, felt that "Seele is still young and we feel sorry for her," her leave request was approved almost instantly. Within minutes, Seele left amidst words of concern and greetings.
The two walked down the street again.
Yun Fuyu: "I have to go to training. You...you go back to the dorm. I'll bring you dinner and deliver it directly to your room."
Seele paused for a moment, then said, "No, I'll go to the library. I haven't passed the recruit assessment yet."
"...Okay, that's fine. You can ask me if there's anything you don't understand, and you can rest if you're tired."
Yun Fuyu: "I'll take you to the library, and then I'll go back to the dorm to get your books. But your books should be in your room, right?"
Seele hesitated for a moment: "...Never mind, I don't want anyone else in my room. Bring your books over, I'll use them for a bit."
She looked at Yun Fuyu with suspicion: "You haven't been with the Fire Moth for long, you haven't already lost the book, have you?"
Yun Fuyu: "How could that be? Do I look that bad at studying?"
Seele nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course! Mom said that handsome boys usually don't like to study because they spend their time on dressing up... Hey, I wasn't talking about you! What's with that look!"
Yun Fuyu shrugged. Just as Xi'er said, he had actually dressed up carefully before going out today. As long as a guy is clean and presentable, knows how to dress, and isn't bad-looking, he generally won't be disliked.
He never used to dress up, but she's Seele...
Yun Fuyu withdrew her gaze and said, "I've heard a saying that pretty girls are the best at deceiving people, especially someone like Xier."
Seele choked, took a deep breath, and pretended not to hear anything.
keep going.

After settling Xier in, Yun Fuyu returned to the Third Squad's encampment to participate in daily simulation training.
Hen seemed to know something, and with a half-smile, patted him on the shoulder and ushered him directly into the simulation training room to start the challenge at normal difficulty.
The so-called "normal difficulty" refers to an "evenly matched" opponent arranged according to the trainee's Honkai energy adaptability and ability tendency. Most of the time, the opponents are ordinary Honkai Beasts and will not exceed the Overseer level (that is, Honkai Emperor, which is one level lower than Emperor-level Honkai Beasts).
As for Yun Fuyu, his "normal difficulty" is a level higher than that of ordinary people. It starts with Temple-level Honkai Beasts or groups of Honkai Beasts below Knight-level, and occasionally there will be weakened versions of Emperor-level Honkai Beasts. It is truly full of both prestige and substance.
What happened today was, by sheer coincidence, an injured Ganesha, but as an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, its strength still surpasses that of a Honkai Emperor.
Hen observed him from outside. Yun Fuyu was performing poorly today, lacking focus and failing to utilize his full strength. He was even grazed by Ganesha's energy cannon at the very beginning, losing an arm in the simulation. Only then did he regain some focus, but after a few rounds, he was still brutally defeated.
Just before he was crushed into mincemeat, the simulation automatically stopped, and a red light reminded him that his challenge had failed.
Hen received some information from Mei. He knew that Yun Fuyu had met the "Xier who looks a lot like Xier" today. Although Mei didn't say much, Hen had a guess in his heart.
He walked into Yun Fuyu's training room, kicked the shoulder of the boy lying on the floor, and said, "Kid, did you use too much glue? Why are you so weak today? Young people need to be careful, don't wait until you're my age to start thinking about health maintenance~"
However, Yun Fuyu completely ignored his teasing. She simply sat up, patted her face, and took a deep breath, but she still couldn't help but stare blankly into space.
Hen squatted down, waving his large, fan-like hand in front of him: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well at noon? Or did that little girl you bumped into try to extort you?" (Yun Fuyu had told him about this while on leave.)
Yun Fuyu took a deep breath, lay back down, and said weakly, "Yes, she tried to extort money from me."
"Boss Hen, do you still remember Xi'er?"
Yun Fuyu took the initiative.
Hen: "Yes, the half-body of the Herrscher of Death, the culprit that almost trapped Kevin and me to death."
Yun Fuyu didn't care about this "stigma," since the Herrscher couldn't be cleared of it anyway. He said, "The girl I bumped into was Seele."
Hen was startled: "Holy crap?"
Yun: "It's not that Seele. She's a survivor of a Honkai disaster a few days ago, and she's very young, only fourteen years old. But... I always feel that she is Seele."
Hen squatted down beside him and took out his personal device to look up information.
"...Oh wow, it really does look like it."
Hen clicked his tongue: "If you hadn't mentioned this Seele to me first, I would have thought she was the Herrscher of Death in disguise. But... come to think of it, the Herrscher of Death is obviously older than her, isn't she?"
Yun Fuyu's gaze was deep and unfathomable: "Whether Xi'er is big or not, you'd better not comment."
Hen was speechless: "First, I fucking said the age!! This girl isn't much older than my Gretchen. Do you think middle-aged men still have so many thoughts? Second, don't forget, the Herrscher of Death stabbed you in the back in the end! And you're still thinking about her?"
Yun Fuyu said in a low voice, "First, in my opinion, Seele is Seele, and the Herrscher of Death is a Herrscher; they can't be treated the same. Second, you just accused me of using too much glue..."
Hen laughed in exasperation: "Damn it, I can't be bothered to explain to a kid like you."
He skipped over the topic and asked suspiciously, "This Seele is indeed very suspicious. Why do you think she is Seele?"
Yun Fuyu: "...I feel..."
Hen: "Are you perhaps blinded by love?"
cloud:"……"
He was speechless, then chuckled softly, "Perhaps?"
This behavior made Hen too embarrassed to say anything.
In Hen's opinion, this kid clearly has different feelings for the Herrscher of Death... no, he clearly has different feelings for Seele. So he keeps idealizing her in his memories, which leads to him suddenly being unable to control his heart when he sees another Seele who looks similar. To put it bluntly, he's infatuated.
Hen kindly reminded, "If she really is the Seele you know, then the Firemoth should be wary of her and even imprison her. Only if she is not that Seele can she stay in the Firemoth, and only then will you have a chance to get close to her."
Yun Fuyu seemed to be in even more pain, lying on her side hugging her knees without saying a word.
Hen was unusually soft-hearted. He remembered that he had once been a teenager and knew how irrational teenage love could be... In the end, wouldn't you still have to find someone who is big, soft, beautiful, capable, and fertile when you get married?
Hen, who has a happy marriage and an adorable daughter, has obviously been expelled from juvenile status.
However, Yun Fuyu seems to be trapped in a predicament from which he cannot extricate himself.
