Chapter 33: A brother's duty

(I got lazy again lol!)

After Kiana's studying, she's been doing good but as her usual self she mostly slacking off. But I celebrated with her from getting her answers correct from the written exam by buying her favorite fast food and sleeping in her bed. Upon sleeping, She started to gripped on me harder, In which I suspect that the time has come. 

Kevin: END

Kiana?: 'Darling? What is it? Do you need assistance?'

HotE ask

Kevin: Yeah. Make sure that the herrscher won't see me in the dream-space

Kiana?: 'Very well then, Darling. I'll do that for you'

I used my remaining honkai residues that were stuck in my body for combat then use it to make a magic circles on my hand then patting her thus giving me a way though her mind

Kiana: Where is this place? Why am I here

Kiana asked herself

I kept myself low and not let the herrscher and Kiana see me

???: I've slept for too long. But the wheels of fate have started to turn again. Welcome home, Kiana of House Kaslana

Kevin: Herrscher of the Void... This is probably because of the Selene's influence.

I mumbled. It is indeed, Selene's influence. Selene is important for me as weapon so I can't destroy it. 

Kiana: Home? this isn't my home. Who are you? And why do you know my name?

???: Now that's a story. Would you like the world I've built for you?

Kiana: World? What are you talking about? Oh, right. thus must be a dream. *pinches herself* Wake up~

???: Are you trying to leave already? You're making me cry. But leaving this place isn't as easy as you think.

Kiana: Hey, What are you doing? Grrr. I'll show you the might of Kaslana! I'm the bestest and the most uber Valkyrie of Shicksal... in a few years time, of course

I chuckled silently

???: Kaslana? A Valkyrie? Hahaha. they really didn't tell you anything. You're an orphan abandoned by your father. You don't even know what your mother looks like.

Kevin: Bruh, we literally showed Bianka's picture with a cecilia cosplay on how would her  mother looks. Jeez even as herrscher so disrespectful about her own mother too... What  a complete failure.

Jizo: I hate to say it but... you're kind of right

We mumbled

???: Aren't you curious about this? Where did your mother go? Why did your father leave you?

Kevin: It's his responsibility as a prodigy to go to moon and be imprisoned

I rant again

Kiana: Hey! Why come you know all this?

???: Oh. I hope I have your attention now. I have been watching you. Even in your dreams

Kevin: Stalker, like END

Kiana?: 'But it's normal for married couples to look after each other though!'

HotE pout

Kevin: It's whatever

???: So I know everything there is about you. Your life as you know is nothing but a mountain of lies

Kevin: Indeed

???: Come, let's play a little game. Catch me and I'll share few secrets with you.

And so she started chasing her. I followed her by using my imaginations to teleport in some certain areas to observe further. She started shooting her and chasing her all over again

???: You caught me... Hehe~

HoV started summoning honkai entities then Kiana started killing them easily

Kiana: Huff... Huff... these minions are nothing to me. Tell me something already!

Kevin: I don't think you'll like it

???: Congrats! You just got a prize. So, Kiana, What do you want to know?

Kiana: Why did old man leave?

???: You're a valkyrie so you should know about the 2nd honkai eruption in Siberia 14 years ago. A girl was chosen by the honkai, just like Mei in Nagazora, to act as its "herrscher". Of course, this 3rd herrscher is a pale imitation of what true honkai is. Since we have a 3rd herrscher, there is a first and second. The 2nd eruption 14 years ago in Siberia gave birth to the 2nd herrscher. The 3rd has mastery over lightning... and this herrscher has command over the void itself

???: Facing planetary annihilation, Schicksal dispatched the only S-rank valkyrie that they have to defeat this herrscher|

???: That Valkyrie is unique indeed. She is a precious yet expendable doll. And that Valkyrie would be your mother, Cecilia Schariac~

Kiana: What? Mom? So my mom's a Schicksal Valkyrie as well?

???: Yes, and her husband happens to be your father. Siegfried Kaslana. He was supposed to give her support

Kiana: Did my mom...

???: That's it for now. Dawn is-

Kevin: That's it! Come and fight my arse!

I said in really pissed tone

???: ?!! Since when did you got here

Kevin: Since my little sister had her nightmare... now chose one, Death or Join us

I said with an evil smirk

I said as she felt deadly presence around me

???: You won't get me!! We'll continue this next time, Kiana

Kiana: Hey wait!

The dream ended

Kiana wake up I was still holding her into my arms but I seems to be still sleeping. Because I was. I got transferred back to Taixuan to train again

Kevin: Well that suck. It's just a matter of time, Jizo will be a fuel of trauma for me to get my true strength. Sure I will change in a matter of time but it's the only way

Jizo: Kid... You can't use me like that...

Kevin: I know. But it has to.
______________________________________

Another night. I went to Kiana's room midnight to check on her studies. She fell as sleep while doing so. So, I tuck her in her bed and arrange her room a bit. After arranging her bed, Her nightmare came back again. HoV is so persistent

Kevin: Herrscher, I need your assistant again

Kiana?: 'Got it, darling~'

I approach her then joined her sleeping to her, I used my honkai energy again to do the same. 

I successfully entered her dream

Mei?: Kiana, I've putting up with you all this time. You're always getting in My and Kevin's way

|Kevin: Oh my, nice one herrscher but Mei is lesbian so I take that for a no|

I mumbled as I observed Kiana

Kiana: What? That's not nice!

Mei?: If it weren't for me, that honkai beast would have turned you into a rotting corpse. Everyone has to work hard to keep you alive. You're even worse than the kid Bronya

Kevin: Heh, Herrscher of the Void hates bronya as well... A kiana problem... Though is she
talking about 3rd eruption or Selene mission?

I mumbled again as I observed Kiana's conversation with the dream anomaly

Kiana: Why are you hurting me, Mei?

Mei?: You're pathetic, Kiana. PA-THE-TIC

Kevin: Jizo, can you restrain me, even that's Mei I would kill her, no torture her

Jizo: got it!

Jizo calmed me down

Kiana: Dang it! You're not Mei! Mei is never this mean!

They both fight. Mei pulled a dark katana and then slide the katana upwards then Kiana backed off And shoot her, Mei deflect her bullets, Kiana then jumped and smashed Mei with neko charm. Mei disappeared. She then moved to another area and to another Dream anomaly

Kiana: Himeko, what are you doing here?

Himeko?: Why are you surprised? The both of you are under my custody and strict monitoring

Kiana: What are you talking about?

Himeko: Stupid brat. You just don't get it at all. Ever thought why I enrolled you two into the school? Because you're ticking time bombs that must be watch

Kevin: That's my job, wh*re

I mumbled again, observing them

Himeko: You're problem Kids. That 3rd herrscher lurking with Mei is a real threat

Kiana: Hey! You can't talk about Mei this way! Wait, aren't you the woman appeared in my dreams last night?

Kiana said as she look behind the dream anomaly(Himeko)

???: Hahahaha!!!

Kiana: Is this a dream?

Theresa then appeared out of nowhere

Theresa?: Kiana...

Kiana: Aunt Theresa?

Theresa?: I'm sorry. Despite our promise, I can't tell you where Siegfried is.

Kevin: Because he's imprisoned in the moon baby. Yeah actually She couldn't

I impersonate Charles White AKA penguinz0

Kiana: Why?

Kiana continued the conversation

Theresa?: Because he doesn't want to see you. You're a harbinger of bad luck.

Kiana: What? Harbinger? What are you talking about?

Theresa?: When the 2nd herrscher appeared in Siberia 14 years ago, your mother... Cecilia Schariac, the only S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal was deployed. But even she could not defeat this opponent dispite her powers. Do you know why?

Kevin: Because Sirin is her lovely adopted child~

I again impersonate pinguinz0

Kiana: ...No ...please don't tell me...

Theresa? She has yet to recover after giving birth to you. In the end, The leaders of Schicksal... heheh, those cowards feared Cecilia will be defeated. They launched tactical nukes at the target to destroy the 2nd herrscher along with Cecilia

Kiana: KYA!! Shut up! Shut up!!

Theresa?: Poor Siegfried. He didn't take the loss of his wife too well, and hate his daughter for being the cause of it. You have brought nothing but bad luck to your parents!

Kiana: SHUT UP! I DON'T BELIEVE HER!!

Theresa used the oath of judah and supply her with spears. Theresa attack Kiana with two spears and in Kiana, she block her attacks by countering them and again smash her with neko charm's paw in an instant. She disappear. Kiana then went to another location

it was me, the another anomaly standing in front of her facing the other way

Kevin?: Kiana Kaslana, the disgrace child of Siegfried Kaslana and that stupid valkyrie Cecilia Schariac... I have taken you on the accountable for the death of my own family. Because of your, Cecilia couldn't stop her. AND KILLED MY MOM AND MY DAD!!

Kiana: Nii-nii?

Kevin?: You are nothing but a source for my power, soon enough you'll be useless to me. Then I will perform execution on you of course. After all I don't need you. You're just a hopeless brat

Kevin: Herrscher of Void, Stop or I'll pull you out... I have a higher being that assist me and will make you feel pain

I said as I teleported in front of my fake self then choke it

???: How do you get here!!

Kevin: It's a brother's duty to protect his dear baby sister and I will go hell for that! END! pull her out!

Kiana?: Got it!

The herrscher of the void was then pulled out, I summoned the Shuhadaku of Uriel then charged into her, She shoot some void lances in to me in which just destroyed upon in contact with my summon swords

Kevin: DIE!!!

I screamed as I jumped then dived into her then the dreamscape was destroyed

Kevin: Herrscher of Void... try again... and I'll pull you out for sure

HoV: You.... will pay... yeah I can control her! Just you wai- kuh

I took her neck then lift her, on how high she is the more tighter my grip is. I then started stabbing her. She groans and scream in pain.

I watched her suffer as blood spat in my face with my emotionless face staring at her delicate suffering

HoV: Ahhg... gahk!! Khak!

HoV suffered from trying to breathe and groaning to the pain

I kept stabbing her to death, I gripped her neck too much that the spine sounded. I stared at Kiana next

Kevin: You'll be scared of me, soon. Kiana Kaslana. You should not involve with me again. I said as I ended the dream. We both wake up in the dawn of the morning, I then left her alone without words to leave her by I then stopped by door

Kevin: Kiana

Kiana: ...

Kevin: You must hate me don't you?

Kiana: ...

Kevin: It's okay, you can hate me however you want... I'm a monster after all and I have to keep my hands dirty before you could your job. It's a brother's duty to protect his sister after all

Kiana: Nii-nii... we're you always like that?

I silenced

Kiana: If that's off-

I cut her words with mine

Kevin: Yeah... I am. Big bro, is a bad person who deals with bad people. And I will become kind of evil person to defeat evil itself... just like my past. I bathe in human and honkai blood to protect those whom I owe my life to and those to who I care for

I said as flashes of memory came to me, It was me killing corrupted people for money just to live and help children to have a happy childhood than what I had. After 4 years of no parent or guidance, I had a rough childhood and that would be for another story

Kiana: Nii... nii...

Breakfast

Kiana and I had an awkward situation now, I know she hates me for beung a bloodlust killer that I am. Su and Mei we're worried

Su: Kevin...

Kevin: Yeah?

Su: Did you do something to Kiana? Perhaps made her preginante?

Kevin: What the fu- No!

Mei: She's not lively as today

Kiana: N-No! Nii-nii and I are cool! Right Nii-nii

She fake smile to me as my heart just breaks into pieces, I mean wouldn't you be heart broken if your dear sister suddenly get scared of you

Kevin: Y-Yeah! we're cool

Mei: 'I can see their lies' As long as it won't hurt anyone then it's cool

Bronya focused on her game
___________________________

Exam day

Since the MANTISes and I are literally too OP for the academy, Su, Sakura and I sat next to Rita in which she is our guest to report the performance each valkyries. Su, Sakura and I already did last week in the HQ

Theresa approach the mic

Theresa: Hello? Testing... The exam is about to start. Combat trails will be single-round competitions. All Valkyries will be divided by their designated squads. The Grades will rate you according to your performance. Winning is not everything, Valkyries

Theresa: Candidates and graaders, please take your positions

All valkyries went to their designated squads 

Mei: Kiana... is there something wrong? You look terrible

Kiana: Yeah... It's nothing just some terrible dreams. I can't remember the details... but it was terrible and scary

Kiana said as she recalled her memories about her dreams, about Kevin torturing Herrscher of the Void ruthlessly, It was too much for her to handle that she's now scared of me, Kevin Kaslana.

Mei: It's alright, Kiana. It's just a dream. I think the exam stress has gotten into you. Kevin, I will be here always. We'll make you a great meal after this...

Kiana: Yeah! Please go easy on me in the exam, Mei!

Mei: No that would be cheating. It's time to get serious.

Kiana: Mei you're heartless today!

Kiana sigh and returned to her focused self. We've been training before today or even yesterday's yesterday. No around 5 months ago, We literally fight against each other as a training. Of course I lowered my knowledge skill by using ICHOR making me a bit stupid then reducing strength equal to an A-rank valkyrie

Now Kiana and Mei, Kiana glared at Mei then charge onto her, Mei dodge her then tried slicing her with her katana, in which Kiana dashed off next to Mei and then punch her with her pistol then shooting her with additional damage. Mei backed off and check on her health bar, Kiana hasn't take any damage yet but she already did. Mei focused back to Kiana and charge her in which Kiana dashed off, Mei turned around and charged to Kiana, Kiana block her katana then throw her by pushing her off. Kiana then rushed at Mei as she shoot her weapon, Mei block her by deflecting them

(A-kun: I tried to replicate the fight since in Q, Mori Calliope and Gura's Original MV)

The crowds were in awe, I look at Kiana and Mei smiling proudly. It was intense

Kiana then reload her pistol then charge at Mei then Mei tried to slice Kiana, Kiana then block her attack by using her arm to lower and threw her weapon to the other side while Mei still holding her katana. Kiana then shoot Mei while she had the chance. Mei lost all her HP. Kiana won, Mei lost

Mei: Kiana, you did way better than I expected.

Kiana: It's because I'm up against you, Mei!. I've been waiting for a chance to show off my skills to you, Mei! That's why you get to see me at 200% performance today

Mei: Did you forget about Kevin?

Kiana: Ahh yes! Nii-nii is watching to me

Kiana said as she look at me, I smiled and gave her a wave

Kiana: 'Calm down, Kiana don't be scared... he did it as for our protection' Yeah...

Kiana waved at me in which repaired my broken heart. I smiled in relief

Rita: You seems to be good mood, Kevin

Kevin: Nothing beats when you feel proud

Rita: I get that feeling
___________________

Kiana fought up against Bronya and Fu Hua. Both were intense and she's very good at them. And she's even making me more proud

Theresa: Hello? Before the recess break begins, I'd like to introduce Rita Rossweisse, our auditor from HQ. She's been here in the St Freya many times and here again to see what we're doing for the Valkyrie Exams, so do your best, girls

???: It's her!

???2: Isn't she Kevin's 3rd girlfriend?

(Narrator: The 2nd is Durandal btw)

???3: Really?!

Kevin: Uhm I'd like to announce that Rita isn't and Hua isn't my girlfriend either

???: Ehh? We thought you had one

Kevin: No, I don't have one, But I'm loyal to one

Mei blushed

???4: Who is it?

???5: I don't know, she must be really pretty then...

Rita: A-Ahem... Excuse me, Kevin-sama and Madam Theresa. I feel like sharing a few moves with them myself

Theresa: Sharing a few moves?

Rita: Several Valkyries performed admirably. I'd like to ask if I can spar with one of them

Theresa: Uhm... okay. Let's welcome mMiss Rita. She'll show us a few combat moves. Who will be our lucky student?

Rita: I'd like to spar with Kiana Kaslana

Theresa: Kiana? Why her?

Rita: Because she's a Kaslana... and as well. Our rivalry won't end

Theresa: Wait what?

Kiana: Heh... I'll win over Nii-nii's heart, Rita Rosswiesse!!

Kiana still smug, she thought she would win this fight but... her skills are comparable to an A-rank Valkyrie, not an S-rank. Rita still kept smiling then She suddenly disappeared. Kiana panicked a bit and then as rita appeared to her back, Kiana tried to block her attack only then for her to disappear again and the worst one is to her back. She has to turned around. She backed off 

Rita: Running will get you no where

Kiana smirked

Kiana: Gungnir-

Kiana screamed a weapon name as she faced Rita

Kiana: -Fire!!

Kiana said as a large cannon fired to her, Rita block it by spinning her scythe too fast

Kiana: Huff... it doesn't work!

Rita approach to her by teleporting and running. Kiana was frustrated more than scared. Rita then raised her scythe then strike Kiana she tried to dodge it then Rita attack her again, Kiana backed off by jumping mid-air and Charged attack her with her pistol. Kiana eventually landed and then rolled. She stood up with exhaustion

Rita: That will be all. Good job, Kiana

Kiana: Huff... Huff... I'm not done... yet. I can... keep going

Rita: But you look so exhausted, I'll take my leave

Rita said as she leave the arena
___________________

Recess break

I was now using one of the katana that used in the arena

Kevin: Are you really sure?

Kiana: YES!! I need to beat that stupid maid!

Kevin: Well then...

I said then ready my stands, I point the katana at Kiana before closing my eyes, The students have come back from the recess to wait but only to see Kiana and my own rematch. I closed my eyes then stances: I extended my legs then bent them along side with the katana pulling it back while pointing at Kiana. 

SYSTEM: 3... 2... 1... START!!

I charged at Kiana with an average speed of a valkyrie, Kiana shoot me while approaching to her. I deflect her bullets, then as I get closed to her I stopped then dash backwards, I sheathe back the Katana then started Unsheathing it then Sheathing again, rapidly, I dashed every time I do it. And what it do was projecting a small sphere that appear to be trying to slice. It was projected to Kiana. Her health get impaled quick. She already weakened.

Kiana: 1% already?!

I charged to her again, Kiana focused on me. Then waited for me to attack, As I attack her in close she then Shoot both of my arm loosing the mobility for 3 sec, She then shoot at me and as I regained mobility, I sliced her health bar to 0%

Kiana: How come you're so powerful?!

Kevin: Because I am power

Kiana: Ehh?! Teach me!

Kevin: You need to learn it yourself

Kiana: But I need to be strong to win your love!!

Kevin: You already did, Kiana. But soon real things happen and you have to be in your way. When that happen you'll be pretty much strong than anyone even myself. But I rather you not be with yourself. I want you to not be alone to carry your burdens, I did that too and you guys change me so you already win. Bronya too, Mei too... Those who change me and lift my burdens off my shoulder, I owe them with everything

Kiana silence in awe

Kiana: That's so cool!!

I smiled at her

Kevin: You have to go back now, Recess is almost done

Kiana: Yeah! We'll have another training again! Nii-nii!

I smiled at her again before leaving her

Kiana?: I wish you could smile to me like that, honey

Kevin: Shut up 14th herrscher... But maybe I will someday

Kiana?: Yay!!

___________________

Final Round

Theresa: This is the final round. Candidates, please put on the sync device once your name is called. The simulated combat program will select a suitable module as your opponent. Do your best, girl

I feel something wrong, Rita already came back with us... but really something is wrong

Kiana: Kiana Kaslana. Prepare sync,

System: Access: 98.6%... Sync ratio: 100%. Generating adversary modules... Sync ratio: 120%... Genera... gen... Generating adver... Adversary modules...

I stood up in which I got everyone's attention

System: SYSTEM ERROR

???: What's happening?

(A-kun: It's a random girl)

Kiana: Nii-nii? What's going on? Himeko! What's happening?

Himeko: Something's wrong. The Program should initiate auto-exit upn an error report. Program sync ratio is stuck at 120%. This means...

Kiana: Force closing the program may be unwise.

System: Adversary module generated. 

A roar then appear. In which I bent my knees then jumped into the arena. I clenched my hand then punched the Ganesha then as it return its position I then upper cut it. The students then started cheering on me.

Kevin: A Brother's duty... is to protect her dear sister

Kiana blushed

Kiana: Kyaaa~ Nii-nii~ My hero~

Kiana said as her pupils glowed hearts

Kevin: Motivated

I said as I was moved by Kiana's words, power then surging into me, I slicked back my hair. Pink crystal started to create in air, Elysian crystal then started form. I clenched my fist. and raised it. Two pillars then came down in the arena and started shooting beams to the Beast. It then created crystals on the beast, trapping it until it cannot move as it crystalize the Beast fully. I then pulled out the judgement of shamash then look at Kiana, signaling her about something

Kiana: Okay!

I run to her she then pose something like carrying a cannon until it showed up. I'm in her position

Kiana: Grungnir!

Kiana: Of Shamash!

I said as I turned Judgement of Shamash into an accessory for Grungnir to put it to Grungnir. We both took its handle

Kiana/Kevin: FIRE!!!

Energy gathered in our weapon then shoot at the beast. The crystal glowed before it destroyed. We screamed in power that were surging on us

Kiana: Woh!!! we killed it, Nii-nii!

Kevin YEAH!!!

I replied to her and gave her a high five

Rita: My, my... Kevin-dono never bore me. 

Rita said as she was in awe. They're like true siblings just not blood related that seems to be blood related

Rita: I may have to report this event...

Su: Another points for him huh? 'You're going to report him ... or perhaps ban him? who knows? But Rita... you can't separate this two... I will pray for your safety'

Rita: Indeed, he's such a great warrior 'I am trained to know what people are thinking... Su'

Su: Yeah 'Aren't ya a good one...'

Su replied to Rita's thoughts

Sakura look at them in suspicion.

That day I received a mission too. With Bianka. Just the two of us and clearing Wales since honkai attack them there. Meanwhile...

Rita: Observation log: Subject: 105-K423. Subject made significant advancements in terms of prowess and as well Physical combat Capabilities. However Subject KK has been interfering, he seems to know what schicksal is doing and further observation is required for the success of persona replication. And as well Putting Subject KK out of the way. Either way attempt assassination of Subject KK may lead to destruction, He must be out of the way before it may happen.

Rita: The Overseer has move his plan to more... practical phase. The other so called "MANTIS" subject, Subject SM is a great fighter, while in the other hand Subject S is weaker than the other subject. He may remain, In St Freya. Both Subject KK and SM will be as well separated... Everything is under his control
