Players began to sense sothing was off with the music.
Then Kiana shouted that iconic line—
"Give back... my class monitor!"
Without hesitation, she charged into the rift in the Imaginary Space before her, each step resolute and unwavering.
A tide of endless darkness surged toward her.
These were Fu Hua's mories—her past, her thoughts.
"Phoenix Immortal, I did not lie."
Otto's voice echoed.
Kiana turned back in shock, only for the sharp pain of a bullet through her skull to hit her, knocking her to the ground.
It wasn't a physical wound, but rather the pain of a shared consciousness—what Fu Hua felt, Kiana felt.
"I've endured too many betrayals and lies."
Fu Hua's desolate murmurs lingered in her ears.
Kiana pushed against the floor, struggling to rise with great effort.
One word at a ti, she said:
"Class Monitor, I would never lie to you."
In the next mont—
The Siberian plains.
A bitter, freezing wind.
Before her—
A girl pierced by the Spear of the Archon, her life ending in the Second Eruption.
"Lixue... this is as far as I can accompany you."
That was all she managed to say before disintegrating into fragnts.
Fu Hua's voice rang out again:
"Those who trusted ... were all hard by ."
"I'm strong, you don't have to worry about being hard."
Kiana clenched her fist, her voice full of confidence, like she was responding to Fu Hua directly.
She stepped forward once more—she was going to save her class monitor!
The mont her foot touched the ground—
The ground shattered suddenly.
She fell into a fissure, tumbling downward.
As she fell, countless silhouettes flashed before her eyes.
Dr. I of the Previous Era, the squad captain, Cangxuan and Dan Zhu from the current era, and Fu Hua's disciples—
So guided Fu Hua toward the hope lingering in the smoke of battle.
So extended their hearts to redeem her soul.
So spent their lives mastering the martial art she created.
Yet, with the passage of ti, all those precious bonds had scattered like dust.
"No matter what... nothing can stop the passage of ti."
"In the end, I was left alone."
Fu Hua's voice was neither sad nor joyful—
Yet it was filled with endless loneliness and exhaustion.
She was so tired.
Kiana finally reached her destination, landing before a sealed Imaginary Space.
"I won't let you be alone!"
She practically scread, clenching her fist, gathering thousands of radiant streams of light—
And threw a mighty punch at the barrier!
At that mont, the music reached its climax—
"Ahhh!"
The barrier across the Imaginary Space cracked like a spiderweb.
A brief stillness—
Then, it exploded!
Fu Hua erged from the fractured space.
Startled by the noise, she turned her head—
"Kiana! What are you doing here?"
Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw Kiana—face still bruised, lunging toward her with an outstretched hand.
The shattered space reflected both their figures like a mirror.
Kiana and Fu Hua grew closer—
Kiana reached out, trying to grasp her.
"If the seal breaks..."
Fu Hua reached out in response—
Then, as if realizing sothing, suddenly pulled back as though electrocuted.
She stepped away, trying to avoid Kiana's embrace.
That mont—of reaching out, then recoiling—
Truly pained the players watching.
Class Monitor didn't not want to respond.
It was just... she had chosen a greater mission.
And because of that—
Seeing Kiana still reaching out, getting closer, step by step—
Their hearts began to stir uncontrollably.
Kiana! Go! Go!!
Bring the Class Monitor back!
They clenched their fists, eyes glued to the screen, as if trying to send their will to empower Kiana.
"Enough talk!"
Kiana locked eyes with Fu Hua's hesitant gaze—
And grabbed her hand, yanking her upward.
"Then I'll just break the seal again. You're not escaping from —not a chance!"
As she spoke, she held tightly to the Class Monitor's hand—
A declaration of her resolve through action.
Fu Hua, seeing Kiana's unwavering eyes, wavered within.
Bit by bit—
Her hand gripped Kiana's in return.
seal shattered completely.
The illusion faded.
What appeared—was the familiar scenery of Mt. Taixu.
The sun rose above a misty sea of clouds.
Under teary eyes, the sky seed a deeper, purer blue than ever before.
At the end of the short animation—
These words appeared:
"The rise and fall of sun and moon, the ever-changing tides."
"Enduring farewells, growing numb to despair."
"Ti—no longer a concept."
"Running from an endless samsara, all for one thing—"
"Mission."
One by one, lines of Fu Hua's monologue flashed past—
Followed by scenes of her past.
She was the keen-eyed detective of the Misty City—
The loyal warrior of Schicksal—
The eternal guardian of Shenzhou throughout history.
Fu Hua walked the mortal world in many forms—
Wings of the Beginning, Phoenix, Azure Heart, Shadow Knight, Valkyrie Bladestrike...
Until, finally, the fra froze—
Fu Hua stood as the version most familiar to players:
The Class Monitor of St. Freya.
She stood outside the gates of St. Freya Academy—
A light shimring in her eyes.
It was here—everything changed.
Welco ho, Class Monitor.
...
The short film ended.
But everyone remained lost in its lingering resonance.
"Life blooms like a flower
Far away or by the road
...
Rain falls a thousand tis
No footprints of co-and-go
...
Not yet for the story on the last page
It's not the end
..."
The beautiful singing only deepened the emotion within their hearts—
Leaving them in a daze, unable to return to reality.
This chapter of the main story was incredibly long—
But just as brilliant.
miHoYo had poured imnse effort into Fu Hua's character—
Using such a vast span of storytelling to depict her past, build her identity, and complete her journey.
It moved every player who experienced it.
The chaos of the world had long since numbed them.
Their treasured bonds had long scattered.
A millennium of perseverance—
All to save humanity.
Fu Hua's character carried far too much.
She could be said to have defined the history of Honkai.
Every era bore her shadow.
Fu Hua's character—whether you call her consistent or complex—
At tis, they couldn't even describe what kind of person Fu Hua was—
Only that she was Fu Hua.
And they knew what choice she would make.
They truly thought...
She was going to be sacrificed.
But the ending—
Defied all expectations.
And touched their hearts.
Across fifty thousand years of ti—
Hua... Phoenix Immortal... Fu Hua...
She finally found a place to return to—
And people who truly cared for her.
Phew~~
[Welco ho, Class Monitor!]
[Kiana, you did amazing! You did amazing! Class Monitor, you wanna wrap up your story? No way!]
The players were stirred.
But... it was also ti—
To cash in on all the FLAGs they had set up earlier.
