Almost a month later
Schicksal HQ, Hangar
Danheng: Should we really need to see him physically... why not through hologram?
Gepard: I can say the same... going to St Freya isn't ideal either due to their tradition of "All Female Student" Title. Feminist would just kick us out
Danheng: I agree
A maid then came to them
Rita: You must be Sir Danheng and Captain Gepard... I'm Rita Rosswiesse your guide to Overseer's office
The two nodded
Rita: Shall we continue?
Gepard: Yeah
Rita then walk
Rita: Follow me
The two followed Rita
Rita: As you may know... The overseer invited you... was it the special enrollment for St Freya, Yes?
Danheng: Yes
Rita then drifted the topic
Rita: Knights are truly interesting and rare isn't it?
Danheng: Indeed
Rita: Have you've been through mission?
Gepard: I've had 54 successful missions without any fail so far
Danheng: I've got 34 on Solos no fail either
Rita: My... A-ranks can't do that however you two are S-rank knights after all which pretty amazing. You two are more than a Einherjar
Danheng: Thank you for the flattery
Rita: Oh no it's just a compliment
The three continued to walk towards the Schicksal HQ grounds to the Overseers office. Upon arriving two men seems to be talking to each other, The one that sits was the Overseer while the one that look on the window seems anonymous
Rita: Lord Otto... the boys are here
Otto: Leave us Rita
Rita: Yes
Rita then leaves
Otto: So what do think about moving in?
Danheng: We can only think about it... We can't leave our friends just like that
???: Indeed
The man turned which their eyes couldn't believe who they seen
Adam: Surprised to see me? Haha... You're right about your statement Danheng
Gepard: Are you Adam?
Adam: Well yes, Captain Gepard
Danheng: He died 500 years ago
Adam: Well yes... I hate to say it... I'm only a mimicry of fenghuang down made by the original Adam Renault for accompany a dear friend...
Adam hold Otto's back
Adam: I may be dead but I am dead yes... Anyhow, We want to you two to become a team of three not a knight but an Einherjars and I believe that Theresa will accept you into the academy. St Freya has it's perk when studying there
Denhang: But isn't that an all girls academy
Otto laughed
Otto: Oh boy... Even Theresa wants a male student but cannot due to the female dominated academy. Yes likely feminist are there but you have to deal with it... I tell you when your team is complete... It's formidable don't you think... better efficiency the more you'll like to rank up because if you join now you will be demoted back to A-rank which in Knight's case it's an S rank already... but with Einherjar you're A rank close to of that of an S rank
Gepard: We'll think about it and Mr Renault... may I ask something?
Adam: Well then go ahead
Gepard: Are you alive?
Adam: Hahaha well... I am... I am alive... For now I reside inside of the Gem of Volition... I can take many forms... and forgive me I cannot leak more intel
Gepard: Understood
Adam: Well That concludes today... but I'd like you two rest for now here in Schicksal HQ stay for few hours with the lovely maid Rita... but it's alright. Is there anything that we can make up for it?
Gepard: Well... no we are more than glad and honored to meet the man himself... well both
Adam: No I insist... I may act as grandpa because I am. we can give you a souvenir for free
Danheng: No please it's already an honor
Adam: Well if that what you say...
Gepard: But actually, where's the other guy?
Adam: His image shouldn't be and must not be seen for now but I'll tell him to bring some souvenir items for you guys since you two does a perfect job handling a job of a knight... Oops I said it again, Apologies... He will appear later than sooner
Gepard: But we don't know who this guy is
Adam: Yes... Just a hint, His father is a master weapon designer and is a host of mine
Gepard: The new Herrscher of Will?
Adam: Yes
Gepard: We'll just going to think about it
The two the stood up and handshake to the two other
Adam: Glad to be in our side
Gepard: Like we said, we'll think about it and report when we do
Adam: I see then... what semester are you again kid?
Gepard: Ah I'm on 10th grade
Danheng: Same for me
Adam: Ahh my host is in 9th grade... I'll tell him... Farewell for now you two... and thank you for the service
The two left
Otto: Well?
Adam: We've hit an jackpot... but if they refuse... well that suck
Otto: Yeah

Siberia, Cocolia's Orphanage

Sin: Matushka?
Cocolia: We have bad news
Bronya: Is Akira okay?
Cocolia: He's... He's gone
Seele: Is he dead?
Cocolia: I can't confirm that
Rozaliya: He died?
Liliya frowns
Cocolia: I'm sorry girls
Everyone frowned

German, Berlin
Siegfried: I'm back!
Siegfried has returned
Kiana: Papa!
Akira: Siegfried... I already prepared a dinner for the both of you
I said as I washed the utensils
Siegfried: You can't just always do this, Akira
Well I've always done this... The Kaslana's cook we're my taste but Kiana won't stop complain so I started cooking for the two
Akira: No... Kiana kept complaining so...
Siegfried: Oh... god... I'm really sorry
Akira: It's no problem... That's sweet pepper curry btw
Siegfried: Ahh yes... thank you Akira
Akira: Yeah... I gotta go back Siegfried
Siegfried: Yeah thank you so much again
Akira nodded. As he return to his apartment he then wrote something
Akira: A vessel huh... I gotta talk to her more before she gone rogue. Nobody wants that
For the last 2 weeks Akira has been communicating to Herrscher of the Void trying to help her but it was really hard for him
2 months later
Kiana's Herrscher core
Akira: Hey
HoV: Why do you keep coming?!!
Akira just smiled. as he sat next to HoV
Akira: Hey It's not like I'm turning you into the human side y'know?
HoV: But why?
HoV asked
Akira: I'm just lonely... It would be weird if I just talk to a normal human. So I turn to you
HoV: I have the leverage to kill you!
HoV said as she threatens Akira
Akira: And so? Would you kill me... To be honest... you have no one for now, not even Bella
Akira said as HoV showed aggression, continuously punching to shit out of him
HoV: Don't. Bring. Her. Into. This!
Akira let her do as she please, she feels bad but she denies it
HoV: FIGHT. BACK. WEAK- -LING!
HoV said as she kept punching her but Akira did not, She kept doing it and doing it until she really felt bad
HoV: Why won't you?
Akira: Look I don't disagree with you, go ahead kill humans or whatever... But I'll stop you... I mean I am meant to stop honkai or humans will go extinct... But I won't kill certainly and specially not you... I just want to be friends with you, y'know?
Akira said. HoV only made a "tch" sound before looking away
HoV: What's so special about humans anyway?
Akira: Well... love?
Akira said as he tilted his head
HoV: Love? do you think that exist in humans?
Akira: Of course. The feeling of pain what makes you human, feeling of satisfaction is what feels like a human, feeling sympathy what makes a human human. And specially giving and feeling love what makes a human a human... Love is what Humanity's true nature, not violence or anything. Those who fights against honkai is not for themselves it's to protect those they love
HoV: ...
Akira: Honestly... It's beautiful... some humans prefer to love a monster than to love an actual monster. I can see that your purple hair is beautiful... your amber eyes with that cool cross stuff... I like them... no I love them
Akira continued as HoV look at him
HoV: Flattery will get me nowhere, weakling
Akira: I know... but still... Sirin, do you remember what human warmth felt like?
HoV then had a flashback, "human warmth, nonsense!" She thought as her memory forced her to see a sweet, loving and warm flashbacks. The way that her foster Mother treat her... It was love yet she denies it, thinking all of it was fake
Akira: Say...
HoV look at him
Akira: If you were freed what would you do? what if you were in your body?
HoV: I'll destroy humanity of course
Akira: Expected that but if... but what if... Cecilia were there and you killed her by accident?
HoV was then shock, as Akira said "What if Cecilia were there and accidentally killed her" she thought were she alive and so that forced her mouth to say it
HoV: Is... Is Mama alive?!
Akira frown
Akira: I wish she were
HoV: ...Sorry that was out of Character... I need some time alone
Akira: Of course... I'll see you soon then
Akira said as he stood. That soon would be "Later". HoV look back at him she called his name and reach her hand for him and yet... he was already gone... She wants him to stay but she couldn't speak it... She don't want it... She wants him to just stay, just stay no matter what... yet... It felt like her fault for not speaking it out
