Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Actually what? Don't forget that it was you who decided to participate in the glacier trial. Why do you want to back out now? What were you doing before?" The instructor frowned and his voice became even harsher.

"Trial?" Karin was shocked.

Mo Yan was even more confused.

"Trial? Could it be the training camp for the Glacial Trial that Pelville mentioned earlier?"

He was shocked and instantly understood where they had accidentally gotten into.

"I didn't expect to stumble into this place by accident. This means there's a high chance I'll see..."

Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted his thoughts.

Seeing the two still in a daze, the instructor grew even more impatient: "What are you still standing there for?! Get back to the team! Don't waste everyone's time!"

The looks of the reservists around also showed some dissatisfaction and urging.

"Oh, okay, sorry." Mo Yan responded quickly, then took Kailin's hand and returned to the team.

He pulled Kailin along and quickly squeezed in at the end of the marching team. Although the surrounding young people cast strange glances at them, under the instructor's stern gaze, no one said anything, and the team continued to slowly move toward the camp gate.

Kailin lowered her voice, almost whispering, "Oh my God... Why are we in the training camp? What should we do now?"

"Now that we're here, let's make the best of it." Mo Yan responded in a low voice, "Let's go in and see what's going on. Besides, it wasn't you who insisted on joining in the fun."

"How could I have known it would be like this..." Karen muttered softly, knowing she was in the wrong and shrinking her neck.

The two followed the crowd through the camp gate. Inside the gate was an ordinary hall that resembled a modern indoor playground.

When we walked into the room, some people were sitting on the ground waiting quietly, while others were standing aside and discussing with others.

"Is this the training camp? It feels quite ordinary." Karen said, looking around.

At this moment, a familiar yet somewhat childish voice came from behind the two of them.

"Could you please make way?" The voice was cold and childish, but the unique tone made Mo Yan and Kailin freeze instantly.

The two of them slowly turned around and saw a silver-haired girl who was a head shorter than them and had a beautiful face standing behind them.

She was wearing a simple training suit, her eyes were sharp, and her pupils were in a unique oblique cross shape. Although she was still young, her cold aura that kept strangers away had already begun to take shape.

It's Peruvian! Peruvian in her youth!

Karen's eyes widened instantly, her mouth opened, and she almost screamed out. Fortunately, Mo Yan was quick to cover her mouth.

Young Peruvian frowned slightly, looking at the two people blocking the road and behaving strangely, and repeated, "Please move aside."

"Oh, sorry!" Mo Yan immediately pulled Kailin aside to get out of the way, his heart pounding. They had actually encountered a young Peruvian.

But it’s not over yet. As the girl entered the “playground”, another young but equally familiar face walked into the room with her.

She had short red hair. After entering, she stood beside the two of them and bowed apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Pepe is just like that, but she didn't mean it." Her voice was clear and full of the vitality that was unique to her age, yet it also revealed a precocious understanding.

It's Clevi! Young Clevi!

Kailin's eyes widened even more in surprise, but Mo Yan covered her mouth, so she could only make a "woohoo" sound and danced with excitement.

Mo Yan was also shocked. He didn't expect to see them in their childhood. He released his hand covering Kailin and winked at her.

Young Peruvian walked straight to a relatively quiet corner in the hall, stood against the wall with her arms folded, as if she was out of tune with the noisy environment around her.

Seeing this, Clive could only give the two of them a friendly smile, then quickly followed her.

"Oh my God..." Karin finally breathed normally, lowering her voice and speaking incoherently with excitement, "It's them! It's really them! Mushroom Eyes and Clavier when they were little!"

"Shh, keep your voice down!" Mo Yan reminded her, and at the same time tapped her head lightly with his knife.

"Hmm..." Kailin cried softly, shrinking her neck and pouting in grievance. "I know, I know...but they looked so different when they were little!"

Indeed, although the Peruvian in front of him had already revealed the outline of a cold and stern person, there was still a girl's youthfulness and a hint of subtle stubbornness between her eyebrows, which was indeed very different from the future.

At this moment, a figure appeared on the high platform in front of the hall, as if pressing the mute button for the entire audience.

"quiet!"

Her voice was stern and clear, instantly drowning out all the noise in the hall.

Looking up, I saw an elegant woman in a white robe slowly walking up to the platform.

She was tall and straight, wearing a white phoenix robe with blue hues, a crown on her head, long blue-white hair, and a pair of ice-blue high heels.

Although her face is mature, it is very similar to Funina's.

Her presence seemed to freeze the air in the entire hall for a moment. It was a majesty and power that needed no words, a nobility and strength that came from the depths of her soul.

The woman was elegant and graceful, with the calm and dignity of a person who had experienced many hardships, while Finina was more lively and agile. Although their temperaments were completely different, their almost identical appearance, especially those unique, heterochromatic eyes, made the answer obvious.

Snow Phoenix, Phoenix.

One of the Three Saints of Glacier, teacher of Peruvian and Clevi, and the previous life of Finina.

She stood there, her eyes calmly sweeping over all the young, eager, or anxious faces in the audience. Her gaze didn't seem to linger on any one person for too long, yet it seemed as if she could see through everyone's heart.

"No one is allowed to make noise in this solemn place!"

Phoenix's voice was not particularly loud, but it had a strange penetrating power and echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

"My name is Phoenix, the Paladin of the Glacier. This is the training camp for the Glacier Trial. Since you have chosen to join this, your future will be filled with no peace."

Her gaze slowly swept across every young face in the audience. There was no emotion in her strange-colored eyes, only a bottomless coldness.

"In your eyes, being a Paladin may be honor or power, but above all else lies the absolute law of the jungle: the strong prey on the weak! In this cruel world, the weak receive no mercy, and dignity cannot be bestowed upon others; it must be earned through one's own strength!"

"The training camp isn't a hothouse, but a melting pot for selecting the strongest! From today on, you'll bid farewell to your past comforts and embrace a hellish ordeal! Now, if anyone is feeling timid and wants to quit, this is your last chance. Step out of this door, return to your ordinary lives, and you might still be able to save your life."
