Chapter 84: Vicissitude: Hua
At this moment, the scene shifts to Griseo. She is seen clenching her fists, throwing punches repeatedly, while muttering to herself: "Do your best to struggle!"
Just then, Aponia also comes over to visit Kalpas, and Griseo spots Aponia not far away.
Aponia also notices Griseo. She asks with a curious expression: "Cute child, why are you here?"
Seeing Aponia, Griseo instantly puts one hand on her hip, points at Aponia with the other, and puts on a fierce look as she says: "Mother Aponia, do your best to struggle."
Hearing Griseo's words, Aponia's expression darkens visibly. She says with an extremely abnormal look on her face: "Who taught you these things? Was it Kalpas? He truly shouldn't have taught you this."
"Wait, let me explain!" At this moment, Kalpas rushes out from the room. Seeing Aponia's dark expression, he says in a panic.
"Griseo, please… turn around!" At this time, Aponia says gently to the Griseo standing to the side.
"Okay!" Although Griseo is a bit confused, she obediently listens to Aponia and turns her head away.
"Wait, it's not what you think!" Seeing Aponia preparing to take action, Kalpas becomes even more panicked. He cannot help but try to explain.
"Repent to your heart's content, along with the moment of demise!" Seeing Griseo turn away, Aponia closes her eyes, presses her palms together, and speaks slowly.
As Aponia speaks, the background gradually turns white. The scene changes, and Kalpas is seen holding his head, hiding everywhere, while shouting incessantly: "This is a hunt!"
"The video ends here!"
...
[ Genshin Impact - Chongyun: Ah, poor Kalpas. In Liyue terms, this is what you call getting caught in the crossfire. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Xingqiu: Oh my, you've actually become so smart. Have you been studying hard lately? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Aponia: Griseo, remember, don't be like that in the video, and don't learn from Kalpas's way of speaking. Be a good child. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Griseo: Okay, I understand, Mother Aponia. ]
[ Honkai Star Rail - Firefly: Such a cute little kid. ]
[ Honkai Star Rail - Herta: Hmm, is this Kalpas unable to beat Aponia? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kevin: Well, you can't really say it like that. It's just that Aponia's Discipline is too troublesome for Kalpas. ]
"Alright, alright, stop chatting about these irrelevant things. Hurry up and answer the question. Once we finish answering, we will start the next review."
"Actually, our little Griseo is also a chuunibyou patient. She once shouted a chuunibyou line in the Elysian Realm. May I ask what that line was?"
"I can give you a hint here: Raiden Mei shouted it after becoming the Herrscher of Thunder."
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: Ah, me? ]
Raiden Mei is a bit bewildered at this moment, as she doesn't know what chuunibyou line she had shouted.
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Murata Himeko: Interesting. Mei, this little girl, seemed quite quiet. To think she would also make a chuunibyou declaration? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Nahida: Let's hurry and think of the answer now. If Miss Mei doesn't know what she once said, then we can only rely on guessing. ]
[ Honkai Star Rail - Welt Yang: I seem to have a bit of an impression. ]
[ Honkai Star Rail - Welt Yang: Do you all still remember Kurikara? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Jean: Kurikara? It seems to have been mentioned in previous reviews. ]
[ Honkai Star Rail - Xuan Yong: Raiden Mei was the Herrscher of Thunder back then. Tell me, would an arrogant Herrscher make everyone submit to her? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Otto: Hmm, and Griseo likes to paint, so the answer seems quite clear now. ]
[ Honkai Star Rail - Qingque: According to what you all are saying, doesn't that mean we have to rely on gambling? If we lose the bet, there will be punishment. ]
Don't let Qingque's usual slacker attitude fool you; her brain is actually very sharp.
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: Then let me try it. ]
[ Honkai Star Rail - Seele: Then let's give it a try. ]
No one else in the review livestream opposes it, as they don't know the correct answer either. If they answer incorrectly, there will be punishment, which is very easy to cause social death.
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: Review livestream, my answer is: Paintbrush, submit to me! ]
"Congratulations to Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei for answering correctly. The reward is now being issued."
"Congratulations to Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei for obtaining a special buff. Note: As long as you shout 'I can't do anything', your combat power can be tripled."
[ Honkai Star Rail - Guinaifen: What kind of strange buff is this? ]
[ Honkai Star Rail - Silver Wolf: I've played games for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such a strange attribute bonus and trigger method. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: Why do I feel like this line is very familiar? ]
Raiden Mei looks at the line in the review livestream, lost in thought. She always feels this sentence is very familiar.
"Alright, alright, let's start the next one."
"This one is quite special because, like Griseo, she has lived for tens of thousands of years, living all the way until Kiana became the Herrscher of Finality. She is an old monster."
"She is—Vicissitude Hua!"
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Senti: Old monster, hmph! ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: Ah, if she's like Griseo, Griseo lived for 50, 000 years, then Class Monitor has also lived for 50, 000 years. Oh my god, doesn't that mean I have to call her great-great-great-…-grandmother? ]

"Vicissitude Hua, also known as Fu Hua, one of the thirteen Flame-Chasers of the MOTH organization from the First Civilization Era, rank XII, with the Signet of Vicissitude. A pioneer responsible for the Fire Moth Project, and in the Second Civilization Era, she became the guardian deity of Shenzhou—Phoenix."
"She lost her invincible power during the Mount Taixuan incident and made a deal with the Archbishop of Schicksal, Otto, to become an A-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal. She disguised her identity to become a student at St. Freya Academy, the class monitor of Kiana's class."
"Later, she died due to Otto's betrayal. Before she died, she activated the zero-rated power of Fenghuang Down, transferring her consciousness into a feather to suppress the existence of the Herrscher of the Void. Her abandoned body was healed by Otto, and a Herrscher consciousness was born within it."
"Hua learned martial arts from her father, who ran a martial arts gym, since she was a child. But the changes of the times changed her father's mind; he hoped Hua would walk the path she wanted, rather than inheriting the increasingly declining gym."
"After going to study in Canghai City, Hua couldn't fit in due to the habits she formed from practicing martial arts. Once, Hua saved a classmate who was attacked by zombies, and the two became good friends. The emotionally intelligent classmate helped Hua make many friends."
