Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Changes in the Raiden Family

Eagle of Florence (A)

Skills:

Assassin Master: A legendary assassin, not famous for a single ability, but proficient in stealth, climbing, assassination, swordsmanship, and a series of other techniques.

Eagle Vision: Named Eagle Vision, but its essence is a sixth sense talent, capable of distinguishing targets even without visual limitations.

Leap of Faith: A technique for dissipating force in mid-air, allowing one to fall vertically. If the landing spot is a hay bale or water surface, fall damage is immune.

Description: A legendary Assassin Master, whose fame is not solely due to his techniques.

And this was also why he could easily avoid all the security guards. You see, initially, to complete the daily quests of delivering flowers and confessing to Raiden Mei, he basically found ways to climb over the wall into Senba Academy every day, avoid the security, and then immediately start a marathon chase with the security guards after completing the task.

The item given by the second ten-pull was much worse.

Tiger Talisman (A)

Effect: Balance of Yin and Yang

Description: A talisman that controls the balance of Yin and Yang, allowing the holder to possess different powers simultaneously without conflict, and can also divide the holder's Yin and Yang aspects.

Takatsuki didn't dare to take out this item after getting it. After all, he was already in enough trouble, and if he couldn't control it well, it would bring him even more trouble.

However, items in the gacha pool were not only useful for items and character cards.

Besides some consumables in the Character Card Pool, Takatsuki also drew a legal identity for the Honkai Impact 3rd world, at least he wouldn't be considered an illegal resident.

And the extra thing from the Item Card Pool was money, without which one couldn't move an inch.

Recalling the experience of first arriving in this world, being an illegal resident, penniless, and still having to find a way to get flowers to confess to Raiden Mei, it felt like just yesterday.

And the flowers he originally picked from park flowerbeds had now been replaced with bouquets purchased from a flower shop.

Seeing that the security guards below had basically dispersed, Takatsuki performed a Leap of Faith from the rooftop, landing in the bushes around the academy, and left Senba Academy.

It must be said that Leap of Faith is a skill that is completely akin to a rule-based ability. After all, even if it's not a high altitude, normally falling into bushes would cause scratches or the like, but under the effect of Leap of Faith, he didn't get a single injury.

After using Eagle Vision to catch a thief in Changkong City and sending him to the police station to complete the last 'maintain public order' quest, Takatsuki returned to his twenty-square-meter small apartment.

This address came with the legal identity, and it could almost be said that he had nothing else besides this house.

However, having a place to live was enough for him.

After a ritualistic bath, change of clothes, incense burning, and prayers, Takatsuki opened the gacha interface.

Takatsuki opened the gacha interface.

The gacha interface could be seen by others once opened, although he could use it mentally, it lacked any sense of ritual.

He expanded the gacha panel to the size of a bulletin board, burned incense and bowed, then pressed the ten-pull button.

Congratulations! You have obtained: Sweet Madame

The first thing was a blue light. Takatsuki originally thought these consumable foods were a scam, but he didn't expect them to all have special effects.

Sweet Madame (B)

Consumable

Effect: Restores a certain amount of vitality upon consumption.

Description: Three Sweet Madame, don't be ungrateful.

Although the description was ambiguous, it was clear that it could be used as a red potion.

Most blue items were consumables, while white, the lowest grade, were generally materials like diamonds, blood-drop stones, gold, and even direct Japanese Yen.

The ninth card, a purple light appeared, and a magnificent scythe appeared on the screen.

Breath of the Grim Reaper (A)

Effect: Greatly increases attack damage, simultaneously consumes user's vitality when attacking.

Description: Rumor has it that this is the weapon the Grim Reaper uses to harvest lives, both enemies' and its own.

"…"

This thing, if you say it's weak, you're lying through your teeth, but if you say it's strong, Takatsuki wouldn't dare to use it.

After all, he hadn't reached the point where he dared to risk his life fighting others.

"Why are these A-grade pieces of equipment so useless?"

It was like this with the previous Tiger Talisman, and it's the same with Breath of the Grim Reaper now. You ask if they're useless? Of course, they're useful.

You ask if they're very useful? They're better off being useless.

"Forget it, I'll put them away first."

Maybe they'll be useful someday. Speaking of which, Seele's weapon seems to be a scythe, and she's the Herrscher of Death, so it's a perfect match for this weapon. But he doesn't know her, so it's completely useless right now.

The guaranteed A-grade item had already appeared, so Takatsuki didn't hold out much hope.

He casually flipped to the next card.

Hidden Blade (B)

Effect: Concealment

Description: A Hidden Blade modified by Ezio, which eliminates the requirement to cut off the ring finger and reinforces it, allowing it to be used effectively even in direct combat.

Seeing this, Takatsuki remembered the Florence Eagle character he had drawn, whose name was Ezio. The frustrating part was that character cards didn't include the character's equipment.

And the Hidden Blade he had just drawn could be said to be... fate's decree.

After equipping the Hidden Blade in the equipment slot, Takatsuki smiled as he touched the Hidden Blades that appeared on his forearms.

Compared to the powerful but costly Breath of the Grim Reaper, Ezio's most familiar Hidden Blade was more suitable for him. Although he estimated that the Hidden Blade would be difficult to contend with some powerful Honkai Beasts, it was still better than having no weapon at all.

Organizing the valuable items drawn from the gacha pool and selling them off would provide another period of operating funds.

Life after transmigration was this unpretentious. Although he didn't have to go to class or work, he still had to go to a girls' academy every day to confess to a young lady. Speaking of which, it was much more exciting than his previous life.

But compared to his past, where he simply lived day by day without direction, he no longer had to worry about money now. Instead, he had to figure out how to strengthen himself and survive in this dangerous world.

The most dangerous thing in the Honkai world was the special energy in it. For those without enough resistance and adaptability, even a little contact could lead to disability or even death.

Moreover, men's Honkai resistance was much worse than women's. It could be said that this world was extremely sexist.

As an outsider and a male, Takatsuki couldn't possibly have the resistance to survive in this world, no matter how he thought about it.

Until one day... a familiar person appeared on the news in Changkong City.

Raiden Ryoma of ME Corp, also Raiden Mei's father, was arrested and imprisoned for alleged economic fraud, and all of the Raiden family's assets were frozen.
