Yue Hua tried to keep up her earnest smile. Fighting to reach the top of the tower in their own ways, knowing there was something beyond. Firefly was just like the rest, and it wasn't a terrible thing and neither was it her fault. It just set her apart from Yue Hua. "As long as you stick with us, everything will turn out fine. We'll make sure of it." They left the guild territory, crossing past the invisible marker a couple hundred meters from the base of the hill. A wide grassy area populated with berry bushes and the occasional tree stretched between them and the village of antfol

The unbending rule amongst even the sweetest of critters: food always won out over affection. Yue Hua was a little heartbroken. But she was happy that she had gotten to pet her. “...I see!” Up to this point, she had failed to consider that not everyone who was actively leveling regarded combat as more than a necessity. If not love, there at least had to be an appreciation for it as an art that had to be honed, hadn’t it — otherwise, they would have forever ran circles around the lower floors like the idle rest. Yue Hua stood, dusting cat fur off her pants, considering. “I was alone before

If she stuck around, as she was considering, NIGHT would eventually learn that duels were all that made up Yue Hua’s daydreams. Duels, then swords, then cosmetics. She did not even suffer a drop of romantic fancy unless its subject was right in front of her. “Of course.” Yue Hua’s tail, wagging, nearly knocked straight into a passerby — thankfully one that was deprived of food and drink. “T’would have to be after some time. My seniors in my guild have advised me to max out my levels first before picking any fights with frontliners outside of an arena.” Oscar swept in, seemingly to re

Not too bad for her first try. Firefly was safe from that impromptu swim for now. Yue Hua’s tail came to a rest on top of Firefly’s hat, patting her gently. She sounded like she was doubting herself. Her nervous hope extinguished. Yue Hua was doing a lot of things to her that she had never wanted to. “I know. I trust your intentions are always good. You, and everyone in the guild.” Then Bistro sat down. Her interruption was welcome. But at her news, Yue Hua’s surprise was palpable. They invited another frontliner? Did they not congregate in their own specialized guilds? She swiveled

A rare peaceful day at the Trackers HQ. Yue Hua was on a walk, eyes half-closed and basking in the slowness of it, when she heard echoes of activity from a nearby room. The sound of a heavy impact, one after another after another. She strolled over to the door, curious. Light slanted in from the training room’s tall arched windows. Everything was vibrant, stirring Yue Hua from her indolent mood. At the center of the hall, Morningstar was in a stance in front of a punching bag, his fists covered in boxing gloves. Yue Hua watched him strike the bag, sending it swinging backwards on its chai

This time, there was no call. The massive shuriken ripped through the horde. It traced an impossible trajectory, bouncing from one shambler to another until it reached a full circuit of four, then it wheeled back into its owner’s hands, who threw it again with little wind-up. The monsters that were crowding Yue Hua screamed like cicadas in the late afternoon. Some of them [Froze]. Yue Hua fought her way out of the wriggling mass, hacking and stabbing at its remnants with none of her previous heed to their pain. She had lost it somewhere in her charge. She emerged covered in blood and

She’d lost… three fights, was it? Saw her health bar descend to a critical level without fear or thought of forfeit. She hadn’t ever doubted what Kindling and Minako did to the arena, even if the hosts’ words were all she had to go by. Dueling was a sport that required a lot of trust. “With some adjustments, I won’t,” Yue Hua said, amused. “I can [Tier Lock] and deactivate a few skills. I’ve never done it myself before — my previous tournaments’ stat changes all took effect automatically — but it should feel like you’re facing a player of roughly the same level.” Match-ups of that type we

Yue Hua would have barely lifted her head at his quiet laugh. Hm? She didn’t hear that. More importantly, she noticed he hadn't answered her question and it only made her all the more curious. Was it intentional? Or was it that he didn't know what he meant by his own spiel? Corvo went a few steps ahead of her, pre-emptively heading in the arrow’s direction after a brief glance, and Yue Hua assumed a more relaxed pace. When she reached him, she lowered herself into a similar crouch, her palms beneath her chin. He looked proud of his find. Yue Hua’s expression didn’t change.
