"Hah~ Hah!"
Wendy was panting heavily, having exhausted her Honkai energy.
Listening to the cheers from the crowd, Wendy still felt a sense of unreality.
"Omedetou, Wendy-san!"
"Omedetou!"
"Omedetou..."
Feeling the applause and cheers from the crowd, Wendy felt as if she had truly returned to the past.
The suffering she had endured in the past two years seemed to have become a dreamlike illusion at this moment.
"Well done, Wendy. You've finally pulled yourself together."
Just then, the Valkyrie who had crossed the finish line with Wendy took off her mask.
And at this moment, Wendy finally saw the other person's face and revealed a look of surprise.
"Sister Ana!"
No one had expected it, no one had expected it.
The mysterious masked wheelchair Valkyrie was actually Ana, who was supposed to be a guest.
No wonder her final acceleration was so powerful that she could compete with Wendy.
Although it felt a bit strange, like the organizer was participating in the competition.
But considering that Mo Wang had already participated, it seemed that anything was possible.
"Um, what... what's going on? Why is Sister Ana..."
"Hehe, don't be nervous. Actually, this was all the Captain's arrangement, to give you a chance to regain your confidence."
Ana explained to Wendy.
"The Captain?"
Only then did Wendy remember that she still hadn't seen Mo Wang's shadow.
"Haha, it seems my acting is not bad. Look, Wendy was so fooled that she even cried."
Just as Ana mentioned Mo Wang, he appeared behind Wendy with a cheerful smile.
From his appearance, not only was he not injured, he didn't even have a speck of dust on him.
Even if Wendy's brain was slow, she could already see that she had been tricked by Mo Wang just now.
At this moment, Wendy instantly puffed up her cheeks and looked at Mo Wang angrily.
And her small fists kept hitting Mo Wang's body.
Of course, besides making a metallic sound and making Wendy's hand feel numb, Mo Wang's expression didn't change at all.
"Alright, alright, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?"
"Stop hitting me. If your hand gets hurt, wouldn't you be even more disabled?"
"It would be bad if you even needed someone to feed you."
However, as soon as Mo Wang finished speaking, Wendy became even angrier, and her fists were like hammers, constantly hitting Mo Wang.
"Alright, you two, stop fooling around. The Captain was just trying to help you this time. Don't be angry at him, okay?"
Ana tried to smooth things over with Wendy, and finally, Wendy turned back from a pufferfish.
"So, you two were in on it to trick me?"
Wendy stared at the two of them, still a little angry.
"How can you say that we tricked you?"
Faced with Wendy's questioning, Mo Wang said, "The competition was real, the contestants were real, and Ana also competed with you with all her strength."
"If there's anything that I tricked you about, it's just that I wasn't injured at all."
"Do you think that can be called ganging up on you?"
"But..."
Wendy wanted to say something, but Mo Wang didn't give her a chance to speak.
He rattled on to Wendy, "I say, Wendy, do you know how much effort I put in to help you this time?"
"Not to mention how troublesome it was to get the venue approved in this godforsaken place of New Zealand. Just to convince those old stubborn guys in the branch, I don't know how much saliva I wasted. It was only after I reasoned with them (with force) and moved them with emotion (with my fists) that I finally convinced them. I even went to the Overseer specifically. Sigh~ I won't say anymore. This is what I should do. Who made Wendy our Principal's darling? I have to endure it no matter how hard it is. Even if little Wendy doesn't understand, I can't do anything about it..."
After this speech, Wendy's brain was a little short-circuited.
But Ana on the side was completely dumbfounded.
"What?! You told the Overseer everything?"
Ana pointed at Mo Wang with a trembling finger, her face filled with disbelief.
"Of course. How can I not report something like this to the Overseer? Besides, who else can hold this competition in such a short time besides the Overseer?"
"That's true... but, that's the Overseer!"
"Don't worry, Miss Ana. When the Overseer said to hold this competition, he specifically reminded me to film the whole process and send it to him. Don't worry, your heroic charge should be on the Overseer's desk by now."
At this moment, Ana's expression gradually changed from a smile to a soulless one.
In Wendy's eyes, Ana had completely turned gray.
It could only be said that in the Honkai world, the rules of this world would not spare any gentle girl or housewife.
In less than a few days, Ana was already developing into a comedian.
After Mo Wang's commotion, Wendy also gradually calmed down.
No matter what, she could finally communicate with Honkai energy now.
Although she still couldn't stand on her legs, it was much better than before when she couldn't feel anything at all.
And, Wendy also knew that there were many people around her who were still supporting her.
Just this alone was enough for Wendy.
However, what Wendy found interesting was that at the award ceremony, when Mo Wang handed her and Ana Theresa's autographed photo and a year's supply of Want Want Gift Pack exchange coupons with a heartbroken expression, his face was simply too pained.
Even though this guy had such a high status and was so powerful, he was acting like a child at a time like this.
It made Wendy unable to help but laugh.
Even after returning to her room, Wendy would still chuckle when she thought about what had happened before.
Beep beep beep~
However, just as Wendy was about to go to bed and rest, an anonymous message was suddenly sent to her in the form of an email.
"What is this?"
Wendy opened the file in confusion and found that it was just a video.
And after opening the video, Wendy's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Because the video was full of conversations between Ana and Mo Wang.
"Captain, you haven't forgotten what your mission is this time, right?"
"Of course, the Overseer sent me here to retrieve the Gem of Desire."
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few more days."
"It's fine, I can understand. After all, the patient's mood before the operation is also very important."
"Will Wendy be alright in the future?"
"Don't worry, we just need to take the Gem of Desire..."
The conversations in the video were almost all scattered fragments of the two of them in different scenes. Each sentence seemed to have been carefully edited, and you could even clearly see the traces of splicing and the faint flaws left by AI restoration.
If this content had been shown to a smarter and more mentally stable Valkyrie, she might have doubted the authenticity of the video at first glance.
However, Wendy was in an emotional state at this time. The moment she saw this video, her mood was as if she had been pushed off a cliff, and it instantly plummeted.
An indescribable fear suddenly surged into her heart.
"Captain and Sister Ana... do they really want to kill me? How could this be..."
Wendy's voice trembled, and her tone was filled with disbelief.
Just then, a small crack finally appeared in her heart, which had never been invaded by the Honkai.
At this moment, the will of the Honkai, like a storm, hit Wendy's brain, washing away her rationality. Her thoughts began to become chaotic, and her once clear thoughts were swallowed by fear and doubt. The air in the room seemed to become heavy at this moment, and shadows quietly rose around her.
In that instant, a strong wind began to appear around Wendy.
An unimaginable super-giant storm also descended upon New Zealand at this moment.
No one knew who had given Wendy this video.
But one thing was certain, because of this video, the Fourth Herrscher, Wendy—she had finally awakened.
