Capítulo 10: A tuna and an emperor
---
Otto searched within his divine key, Void Library for a suitable weapon for his great-grandson.
'You reached all this way and now you'll give it up.' A young boy said, his figure hidden by a shadow, only revealing his blonde hair.
"I know. But Rex... He already suffered enough." Otto said.
'Be prepared. I can sense it, he has the potential.' the boy said while Otto ignored him.
"I need more data. I see. I can send Rita, Durandal, and Reve there." He said as he looked at the blackboard inside the void library detailing a lot of data about ways to prolong his great-grandson's life and he found it.
"I will have to fuse him with the Honkai." He said as he saw the numerous emperor classes he can pick, to fuse with him. And he smirked as he saw it. The emperor-class Honkai beast, Flame emperor will be a good pick for him. "Don't worry, Rex. Great-Grandpa will help you."

Rex sighed as he walked to the dorms. It has been a day and he was ordered to stay put in the dorms by himself by the overseer. Which means he can't go to his gigs, concerts, or even his business.
Entering the dorms, he hummed as he removed his shoes. He can still see in a way but he was still blind. He has his dull vision on his belt.
"Ah!" A shout from a familiar voice got his attention. "Why can't I beat you?!"
Shrugging, Rex walked forwards towards the living room connected with the kitchen and 'saw' Kiana Kaslana sitting in front of the TV. She must be playing some sort of fighting game.
'I hope we have tofu.' Rex thought as he opened the refrigerator and took out his water bottle and opened it.
"You should try playing more patiently," Rex said as he sat on the couch while taking out his guitar.
"Huh?!" Kiana finally noticed him. He was dressed in a simple shirt and black pants with his guitar in his hands. It was a simple guitar with some carvings here and there of several symbols and he increased his finger armors. He now has three of them on his left hand in addition to the usual two on his right hand. His green pinwheel tattoo was proudly shown on his right cheek while his blindfold hid his dark eyes. "Since when did you get back?!"
"Just now." He answered as he tuned his guitar. Plucking a string, a small smile appeared on his face as he heard the sound. "So, what are you playing?" He asked as he 'looked' at her.
"Eh, Just a Homu fighter game," Kiana said with a groan as she looked a the screen. "Can't you see it?"
"You do know that I am blind, right?" He asked her as he plucked a string before he struck more strings.
"Oh, I forgot," Kiana said as she looked down only to look up as he started to play a song.
"I guess, I can," he mumbled as he started to play with Kiana forgetting about her game.
"Through the night, to the day
When everything is gone
Carry the soul away from the dry lands
In the sun we see, fighting over lines
All our dreams and wishes
We send home for safekeeping
Fighting for what's right
Calling to the night
To dream
Again in the light
Waiting for a storm to rise
Feel the isolation fleeting
Calling to the night
To be or not to be fighting here
Leaving without you
Leaving my soul behind
Calling to the night
Colors of Kodachrome fade with time
Calling to the night
For us, for every single life
All the ashes of men remain
As a perfect memory
Calling to the night" Finishing his song, Ren hummed as he rubbed his chin.
He did not notice that all the time, Kiana was looking at him until.
*GROWL*
A loud growl similar to an explosion erupted from Kiana's stomach.
Rex turned his head to Kiana, while the girl turned red looked away.
A loud laugh escaped from his mouth as he held his stomach.
"Hey! Don't laugh at me!"Kiana shouted as she glared at him. This only resulted in him laughing more. "I wish Mei-senpai was here... I'm hungry."
"Mou Mantai!" Rex said as he stood up and let his guitar rest on the couch. "I'm hungry as well, so I'm going to cook." He said as he removed nail guards and stored them in his pockets
"Eh? You can cook?!" Kiana immediately recovered from her shock.
"Of course!"
"But you're blind!" She said as she pointed at him.
"Hah! I just can't read but I can still see, in a way." He told her as he cracked his knuckles. Before heading to the kitchen and putting on an apron.
"Pfft! what's with that apron?" Laughter came from Kiana as she looked at the pink and frilly apron Rex wore.
"SO what?" He asked as he opened a cabinet and pulled out a black case, Opening it, Kiana saw the knives inside and they were beautiful.
"Woah..."
"Let's see. Pepper, egg, salt, day-old rice, green onions, onions, and garlic." He said as he took the necessary ingredients, his chopping board, a wok, some oil, and his wooden utensils.
"That's huge!" Kiana shouted as she saw the wok.
"Hey." Rex called out as he 'looked' at her. "I want you to buy some things for me." He said as he looked at her.
"But. I'm hungry!"
"I'll give you a bigger portion." He told her as he started to prepare the ingredients.
"Really?!"
"Yes." He answered and soon, Kiana came back with a notepad on.
"What do you need me to buy?!" She asked only o shut up when something covered her mouth. "?!"
"eat that first," he said as he started to cook the eggs on the wok.
"That's rude, Crybaby!" Kiana shouted before begrudgingly eating the food bar.
"Whatever." Noticing that she was done. "Potato, lots of them, some chili, tofu, and bread." He told her before handing her a card. "Buy a snack if you want." He said as Kiana took them.
"Eh? You sure?"
"Yes. It's the least I can do," he said as he went back to cooking.
"Okay!" With the Kaslana gone Rex just smiled before coughing loudly in a handkerchief. Rex looked down and grimaced. He can smell it, the faint scent of blood. The damage from his fight with Dvalin was greater than he thought. Quickly wiping the blood on his mouth, he started cooking the egg-fried rice, along with some puppy paw hash browns.
"Time for the main dish." He said with a smirk as he looked at the ingredients.
"I'm back!" Kiana called out only for her eyes to widen at the huge bowl filled with fried rice, similar to another one filled with hash brown. "What's that." Kiana approached the kitchen and looked down at the bowl filled with red. Looking around, she looked for a spoon and took a spoonful before eating it.
It was delicious. Just like Mei-Senpai...
"HOT!!!!" She shouted while breathing out flames at how hot it was. It felt like her tongue was burnt and made her tear up. "Hot. hot. Hot!" She shouted as she panicked and bumped into an amused Rex.
A smug grin appeared on his face while looking at her.
"Heh. Serves you right, dumbass." He said as he looked at her.
"AHH! Hot!" She cried out as she opened looked at him, with tears in her eyes.
Taking his hot bowl, he opened the refrigerator and handed her a carton of milk. Kiana quickly pried it off his hand and downed its contents, letting the milk soothe her burning tongue.
Rex sat down on the table and looked at her. "Eat up." He said while motioning to the full Plate filled with egg-fried rice and some hash browns shaped like cat paws with some sauce on the side.
"You did that on purpose, didn't you?!" Kiana asked with a pout and glare while looking at him.
"Who knows?" Smiling as he took a spoonful of the hot spicy dish, he took a bite and opened his color to let him sweat out the heat.
"I'll never touch your food again!" She said as she ate before looking at them. They were tasty, just like Mei's dishes.
She looked up and froze at the sight of him already halfway through his extremely spicy tofu with rice and hash browns on the side.
"How?!" She asked as she looked at his plate of Mapo Tofu in disdain and anger.
"Secret." The truth is that he may not have an Anemo Gnosis anymore nor a vision but it did train him to have some sort of access to them. While he lost his Geo powers and most of his Anemo powers, he was still able to use them to heal him from his minor wounds. "Share the rest with Principal Theresa and the others." He said while carrying his food to his room. He already cleaned the kitchen.
"Okay." She said "He's not so bad after all," Kiana whispered as she ate more of her portion with a smile.
The door opened to reveal the rest of the girls.
"Woah! That Smells Good!" Theresa said with a smile as she looked at Kiana eating. "Fried Rice?" She asked with a smile.
"Yup! Dig in!" Kiana said with a smile as she ate more.
"hashbrowns too?" Himeko asked as she picked up some of them to notice that they are puppy and kitten paws.
"Did you make these, Kiana-chan?" Mei asked, a bit surprised as she tasted the Hashbrowns. They were perfect!
"Nope! The Crybaby made them!" Kiana said as she ate more and more.
"Rex can cook?" Himeko said and looked at Theresa only to sweatdrop when She was already filling a plate up as much as she can.
"YEAH! HE MADE SOMETHING AND IT BURNS!" She shouted as she remembered the way how her tongue burned from the taste.
"This is!" Bronya said as she picked up the guitar and raised it over her head, stars in her eyes.
"That's Rex's guitar." Theresa said as she noticed the symbol and froze as Bronya mechanically looked at her. "Bronya?"
"Bronya-chan?" Bratnya?" "Bronya?" Mei, Kiana, and Himeko asked as they looked at the girl who mechanically floated.
"This is 3MP3R0R's guitar." She said in a monotone voice while holding the guitar like it was something sacred.
"3MP3R0R?"
"Da! 3MP3R0R is a music-tuber and is known for his uploads ranging from different genres." Bronya let project bunny hold the guitar while showing them 3MP3R0R's Youtube channel with millions of subscribers.
"Eh? He's just a music tuber." Kiana shrugged as she ate.
"Da! He is. But his music are something else. He always hold livestreams and recording, even releasing songs weekly. Sometimes several times a week! He can even perfectly sing in other languages!" Although her voice was monotone, they can see how excited she was.
"His new song even reached a million views in a day!" She said, showing them 3MP3R0R's video playing and singing reluctant Heroes.
Rex came down the stairs looking around, his blindfold was gone but was instead showing his useless eyes, colored a lifeless dark with a teal tint.
"Did you guys see my guitar? I need to clean it for 3MP3R0R's play along stream." He asked as he entered the living room and took his guitar. "Thank you." He told Bronya who was too shocked to see that there was another 3MP3R0R fan in St. Freya.
Error. Bronya.exe has crashed.
"Hey! Crybaby! Seconds!" Kiana shouted as she ran after the mask-wearing blind young man on his way to his room.
"Get your own!" They heard Rex shout.
