To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

"Is that all?"

She proudly declared victory, put her hands behind her back, turned around, and prepared to leave.

But then, a whooshing sound came, and a dark red rectangle slammed into Sirin.

Sirin turned around in surprise, only to find that the scabbard that Himeko had thrown was already in front of her.

Unable to dodge in time, Sirin decisively used the Space Stone to open a portal in front of her and transfer the object away.

Then, Himeko emerged from the dust-filled crater, her armor torn and her appearance disheveled.

Her body was covered with dense, crumbling lines.

Every step he took was precarious, his red hair was disheveled, and his eyes held a resolute determination to the death.

"Is your attack... over? Well then, it's my turn now. No objections?"

She spoke each word clearly, her voice weak yet unmistakably convincing.

"Hehehe... Die!" Sirin sneered.

The decisive battle officially begins.

To fight against the gods as a human being, at the cost of one's life.

As the battle progressed, Himeko's self-sacrificing tactics tipped the scales of victory once again.

Himeko unleashed a powerful strike, clearing away the obstruction.

She fought with all her might, the sword engulfed in flames, and blood splattered from her own body.

But she ignored all that and swung her sword down at Celine below with all her might.

At the same time, a gentle voice also sounded.

"Kiana, when you wake up, you will find that everything has changed."

"You will find that the world is no longer beautiful, and those ordinary daily routines will be gone forever."

"But don't give up, never give up."

Sirin also made a final desperate effort, using all her Herrscher powers to construct a black spiral cone that pointed directly at Himeko.

The moment the greatsword collided with the cone tip, the entire space turned pure white.

Before Himeko's eyes, the figures of Theresa, Mei, Fu Hua, Bronya, and others appeared one by one.

They were all calling out Himeko's name.

And finally, what appeared before Himeko was that familiar smiling face.

She was the student she always criticized, the student who caused trouble all day long; perhaps she wasn't as outstanding as she had hoped.

But she is innocent and kind, a seed of hope, and a student of Himeko Murata.

She would always laugh heartily and say, "Aunt Himeko, I want to become the strongest Valkyrie!"

The last ounce of strength flows from the exhausted body; isn't the meaning of a teacher to educate students?

The teacher's life has come to an end, but the students' wishes should continue.

Flames, like wings, bloomed behind Himeko, igniting her last embers of life as she relentlessly activated the deadly gem within her armor!

The greatsword tore through Sirin's barrier and fell in flames.

"Kiana! Lift your head and keep moving forward! Go and turn this imperfect story into the one you desire!"

Xilin looked up, unwilling, but it was too late to dodge. In the light, the sword fell.

"Stay alive, Kiana."

As the light faded, Himeko's sword was embedded in Sirin's back.

Himeko had burned completely and slowly collapsed to the ground.

"This is... the final lesson..."

On Xilin's back, there was a reagent that had already been injected.

The effects of the God-Slaying Spear activated, and the dissipation of Honkai energy caused Sirin to wail in agony.

As if symbolizing the defeat of the Herrscher of the Void, the Imaginary Space collapsed, revealing the blue sky and white clouds outside.

Himeko closed her eyes, slid off the ground, and plunged into an endless black abyss in the blue sky.

...

After watching the video, Kiana ran out without saying a word and went to Theresa's dormitory.

As she ran, the scene from just moments ago kept replaying in her mind.

Himeko set an example for Kiana, showing her what a hero is like, and that red mark was deeply imprinted in Kiana's heart.

"Waaaah, Ms. Himeko, thank you so much. I will definitely study hard and listen to your lessons from now on."

Kiana, her eyes brimming with tears, looked at Himeko beside her and threw herself into her arms, tears streaming down her face.

She really didn't expect that Ms. Himeko would make so many sacrifices for her.

She could have withdrawn at any time; she had already grasped the hope of survival; and even if she hadn't gone to fight, no one would have said anything, given her serious injuries.

But she simply took on the heavy responsibility and forged ahead without leaving herself any way out.

"Why did Teacher Himeko teach us that if your comrade loses control due to Honkai energy... you must end her life without hesitation?"

"Then, why, why didn't you end my life?"

Kiana asked with a tearful face, feeling very guilty.

She never imagined that simply going to the underground laboratory with Theresa would trigger a series of chain reactions, causing so many people she cared about to get hurt.

In her opinion, it was all her fault.

"Because...you are my student, Himeko's student, and a teacher is responsible for the life of their student." Himeko gently stroked Kiana's hair.

They seemed to share the same emotions as in the game.

"Waaah, what a cunning excuse!" Kiana cried, hugging Himeko.

"I...I don't accept it!"

Chapter 18 The Deeply Moved Crowd

"What a memorable story!"

Alicia sniffed and said that she was also deeply moved after watching the last lesson.

"But this has absolutely nothing to do with warmth and beauty!"

The pink-haired girl glared at Luo Mo with her cat-like eyes and said.

Luo Mo remained unmoved: "The beautiful bond between teacher and student triumphed over the Lawyer. Isn't that something to be moved by?"

"It seems... wait, you're misinterpreting things again. But whatever, I don't dislike stories that showcase humanity's brilliance; in fact... I quite like them!"

"Eden, Eden, why aren't you saying anything?" Alicia looked at her friend beside her. She was in a daze and didn't even notice a drop of wine leaking from her glass.

"Ah~ Ellie, I was thinking that this piece would be even more brilliant if I played my instrument!"

Eden came to his senses and said softly.

She unconsciously hummed a lullaby, and even just humming it sounded several times better than in the video.

“Haha,” Luo Mo said awkwardly, “musical talent is definitely not as good as Miss Eden, who was famous all over the world in the previous civilization.”

"Mr. Luo, there's no need for such high praise; that's all in the past. By the way, Mr. Luo, you're the company boss, you should know who composed that music, right?"

Luo Mo thought to himself, "If others can plagiarize, then I can too!"

"I created it."

"Oh? May I discuss the music with you? This piece is both grand and sorrowful..."

"No, I'm sorry, it was written by Su Luo, the screenwriter from my company!"

Luo Mo decisively shifted the blame.

Eden looked bewildered, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Speaking of which, Miss Himeko looks remarkably similar to a warrior I knew from my previous civilization! They... are also closely connected to fire."

"It's just a coincidence," Luo Mo said.

"It's such a pity that someone with such a brilliant soul as Ms. Himeko is like this!" Eden said regretfully.

...

On this day, countless players broke down.

The mature older sister who had always been by their side died, in order to save her students.

She sacrificed everything to save Kiana.

He defeated the corrupted apostles with the body of a mortal.

I just learned about her life from a side story.

Back then, people were complaining that miHoYo had run out of ideas and started selling characters and storylines, and most people thought that side story was too bland.

Now it seems... this was clearly a hidden knife!

How can there be such a despicable company? They create a persona first, then take action!

The comments section below the online video is filled with sorrow:

"Waaaaah, my Himeko-sensei! Why did this happen? Aren't you the main character? Why did you have to die?!"

"Kiana, keep going, and make this story what you desire!" (Light Novel Base 7)

"Live on, Kiana. This is... the final lesson!"
