Chapter 29 First Mission
……
The next day, Yun Fuyu woke up.
When I'm awake, everything in that starlight dream is just a dream, beyond my control. Except for that one time during the day when it was stimulated by the power of the Herrscher, it only appears at night (or more accurately, in my dreams).
So all day long, he was filled with anxiety, fearing that everything from the previous night was just a dream. He spent the whole day in this state of trepidation, and only after entering the dream again and seeing Seele still waiting for him in the same old place did he finally feel completely at ease.
Another morning has passed.
This time, full of energy, Yun Fuyu got up early and arrived at the training ground early. After the usual roll call, the new recruits were called aside by Hen.
Hen's expression was solemn: "Some of you should have already heard the news. New recruits will eventually have to go to the battlefield, and the first assessment is scheduled for today."
A murmur rippled through the crowd, but Yun Fuyu was the most bewildered. He didn't have many friends; people only saw him as aloof and wouldn't talk to him much. Möbius was clearly self-centered, and this kind of thing was probably a trivial matter in her eyes.
But in Hen's eyes, this kid was calm and steady (expressionless), never flustered (slow to react), and always completed his training sessions on time and beyond (he was so bored that he had to go to training). He was also very talented (actually, it was related to his fate being connected with Seele). What a promising talent he was!
"quiet!"
Hen shouted, then said, "Your mission is simple. Take a warship to the southern border of the Mu Continent, to the core area of the Sixth Great Collapse, and eliminate a special Temple-class Honkai Beast."
Temple level? Easy?
The Temple-class Honkai Beasts from the pre-civilization era were colossal creatures, some twenty meters tall! And the description emphasized "special," making them even more difficult to deal with.
"Silence! Silence!"
Hen had to shout again, "Discipline is key! No more whispering! Otherwise, you'll be expelled!"
After a pause, he explained, "First of all, in addition to you, there are also new recruits from the Fifth Special Operations Team who will be fighting alongside you in this operation."
"Secondly, don't underestimate your own strength! You are all equipped with the latest Honkai energy combat equipment and have participated in three rounds of simulated training. Do you think all this combat experience is fake?"
Hen then looked at Yun Fuyu: "And Yun Fuyu, his best result in the simulation training was winning all three Temple-level Honkai Beasts in a gauntlet battle, right?"
The crowd gasped in disbelief once more, unable to comprehend how strong Yun Fuyu, also a new recruit, could be. Encouraged by Hen's gaze, Yun Fuyu stepped forward and nodded, "Yes, the energy levels of the three Temple-class Honkai Beasts are 297, 386, and 332 HW respectively. However, the main reason is that the differences between them are not significant, allowing me to quickly find their weaknesses and eliminate them..."
“So,” Hen looked at everyone, “as long as you cooperate properly, this mission can even be considered simple! The key is that you must work together and muster your courage.”
"Let me give you an example. When Kevin first joined the Firemoth, he was in charge of a recruit squad, just like Yun Fuyu, and he was extremely talented. At that time, there was a guy named Wenpara under Kevin who didn't listen to his orders. As a result, he lost his arm in the battle and was the only one injured in the recruit squad. The rest of the team worked together and easily completed the mission."
He cited past examples to warn everyone to obey orders and follow commands. After that, no one had anything to say. In short: The leader is charging ahead! We're cheering you on!
Yun Fuyu had nothing more to say; he had to obey orders and follow commands. Whatever you say goes.
During the morning training session, everyone was noticeably restless. Yun Fuyu, however, wasn't in the training area; instead, he went to check the Moth Chaser's task list. Incidentally, this was because he had some connections with Mei and Möbius, and the person in charge of management only agreed to let him see it, and even then, it was only a portion.
Hen also noticed that the kid wasn't doing his job properly, so he came over specifically to catch him, only to find Yun Fuyu "enjoying" the task list, and he didn't know what was so interesting about it.
Hen: "Why are you looking at this? If you want to learn from other people's mission experiences, just go to the Firemoth forum database."
According to regulations, a task report of at least 500 words must be submitted after each official task. The template is readily available; just fill it in according to the facts—yes, this is also Mei's new rule. Although it's a bit tedious, it's indeed good firsthand information for newcomers, especially since the cost of obtaining information is low, as it can be directly found on the internal forum.
Yun Fuyu casually made up a lie: "I want to see the intensity of the recent Honkai, and what level of enemies we generally have to deal with."
Hen shook his head: "Then there's even less need to come here. There are analytical papers on all of these things, written by Dr. Mei himself, and there are even simplified versions on the forum."
Yun Fuyu nodded: "That makes sense, then let's leave it at that."
He had already memorized several locations where the collapse had occurred and would share them with Seele later, so she could investigate where they could serve as her "birthplace." Yun Fuyu himself wouldn't go there. Maintaining as little contact with him as possible would minimize any suspicion surrounding Seele.
Hen led Yun Fuyu back to the training room, told him to rest for a while, and said the transport ship would arrive soon before leaving.
A few moments later, the transport ship arrived as scheduled. After Yun Fuyu summoned the team to assemble, Hen happened to return, so he led the team onto the ship, gave them a few instructions, handed over the entire mission to them, and left.
Normally, the mission should be led by Hen or another official combat personnel. But this time, Hen wanted to test Yun Fuyu, and there was a leader among the new recruits in the fifth squad, so he decided to save himself the trouble and didn't interfere anymore.
Blanca, Hinn's wife, is still dealing with her resignation, and Hinn has been helping her recently. Blanca is preparing to find someone to replace her at work, and she also needs to decide on her lifestyle after resigning. It seems like just resigning, but in reality, it's a whole host of complicated and trivial matters.
……
……
On the transport ship, following Hen's advice, Yun Fuyu gathered the new recruits to brainstorm and prepare for the upcoming battle.
Yun Fuyu: "Let me offer my humble opinion. I myself am definitely a main combatant, and I am good at quickly attacking the weaknesses of Honkai Beasts based on the environment. But I think that, as Boss Hen said, this Honkai Beast is special, and with two teams of newcomers fighting together, it is probably more difficult to deal with than the usual Temple-level ones."
After a moment of silence, a light blonde girl spoke up: "I'm good at using firepower weapons, like portable sniper cannons. However, because of the current shift to Honkai energy weapons, I'm still a bit rusty with the new equipment, but I should have no problem sniping Honkai beasts' weak points from high places."
She's Sirory, the one who spoke to Yun Fuyu before. This time, she's volunteered to start the discussion. Judging from her, her specialty is... sex?
Just kidding, don't take it seriously.
