This is an inconspicuous, small island in Inazuma.

It is about the size of a small courtyard, with only a few trees and some unknown wild grasses covering the island.

A few cranes were pecking at the soft sandy beach, occasionally dipping their heads to catch small crabs trying to hide in the sand, enjoying their meal.

These cranes had lived here for a long time because the island had no valuable resources, so humans rarely disturbed them.

But today, two people arrived.

“Cough, cough…”

Kaedehara Kazuha lay on the beach in a starfish shape, completely soaked.

Despite being sheltered by the wind, he had never done anything so reckless. 

He almost thought he was going to join his friend in the afterlife.

In contrast, Bai Luo, who had just unlocked his second Class, had a significant boost in physical strength. He naturally seemed much more composed than Kazuha.

Sitting on a reef at the edge of the beach, Bai Luo first kicked off his wooden sandals, then removed his white socks, shaking out a few lively little fish.

“Thank you for saving me,”

After catching his breath, Kazuha sat up and thanked Bai Luo.

If it weren’t for Bai Luo, he might have met the same fate as his friend.

“You should thank him,”

Bai Luo casually said, tossing the Vision he had snatched from the Raiden Shogun to Kazuha.

Before going to the training ground, Bai Luo had not only instructed Kujou Takayuki to strengthen the guard at Tenshukaku but had also given the Fatui strict orders. If Kazuha was found, they were to keep him away from Tenshukaku at all costs.

Who knew this guy would be so persistent, breaking through multiple lines of defense to reach Tenshukaku.

“This… Don’t you want it?”

Kazuha caught the Vision Bai Luo threw to him and asked uncertainly.

A Vision is highly valuable, not necessarily needing to be granted by a god; there are precedents of unowned Visions being activated. 

He thought this mysterious person would keep it after going through so much trouble, but Bai Luo tossed it to him without hesitation.

“I have no use for it,”

Bai Luo had long done experiments and found he couldn’t use either Visions or Delusions.

For him, these coveted items by the world were only worth selling for Mora.

Ha… Mora?

As a Fatui Harbinger, Mora was just a number to him. 

Whenever he wanted more, he could get it from the Northland Bank.

In a sense, he was as wealthy as Childe.

Moreover, with his second Class now activated, his hidden system no longer required him to keep a Vision. It was better to do Kazuha a favor and give it to him.

“Then…”

Kazuha’s gaze shifted to the broken blade Bai Luo had placed beside him.

It wasn’t that he was greedy, but his friend’s remains were still at Tenshukaku. It was impossible for him to retrieve them.

However, this broken blade Bai Luo had taken would be perfect for marking his friend’s grave.

“This isn’t your friend’s sword,”

Bai Luo saw through Kazuha’s thoughts instantly.

“…”

Kazuha didn’t argue, but his expression showed he didn’t believe Bai Luo.

“See for yourself,”

Bai Luo held the hilt and drew the sword, a cold glint lowering the surrounding temperature.

What was astonishing was that the broken blade had restored itself to its original state, showing no signs of ever being cut.

“How is this possible?”

Although Kaedehara Kazuha was confronting Kamisato Ayato the whole time, the head of the Yashiro Commission was holding back significantly, making it comparable to the vast sea between Inazuma and Liyue.

This allowed Kazuha to have plenty of energy to observe the situation on the Raiden Shogun’s side.

For instance, he saw Bai Luo pick up his friend’s broken sword and use it to fight the Shogun. Even when he slashed at Kamisato Ayato to save himself, he used the broken sword.

How, then, had it turned into another complete sword at this moment?

Moreover… he couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but he felt something was off about that sword.

“After this, the Shogunate will probably include you in the Vision Hunt Decree and conduct a manhunt throughout Inazuma. Do you have any plans?” Bai Luo asked, sheathing his sword.

He had no intention of exposing his identity because his secondary Class, [Battousai], was like a trump card to him. Even though he trusted Kaedehara Kazuha’s character, he didn’t want to reveal this card casually.

“What about you? If you don’t have a better place to go, why not come with me to Watatsumi Island? The resistance there welcomes people like us,” Kazuha suggested. He had originally planned to go to Watatsumi Island but had turned back due to his friend’s situation.

Having witnessed Bai Luo’s skills, he thought it would be great if he could invite him to travel together.

“You go ahead; I will stay in Inazuma City for now.”

He definitely had to go to Watatsumi Island, but not now. With the recent major event in Tenshukaku, Inazuma City would already be in an uproar. 

As an Envoy of the Tsaritsa, his sudden disappearance at this critical juncture would surely arouse suspicion. He not only couldn’t leave but needed to hurry back.

“What if someone discovers you?” Kazuha was worried about Bai Luo staying in Tenshukaku. 

The incident was enough to make the Tenryou Commission turn Inazuma Island upside down, and even the outskirts wouldn’t be safe. 

Returning now seemed like asking for trouble.

“They won’t find me.” Bai Luo confidently stood up.

Not to mention that the Tenryou Commission had been almost entirely infiltrated by the Fatui. Even if they genuinely wanted to find him, it would be like drawing water with a sieve. 

After all, what does looking for a mysterious swordsman have to do with him, a Fatui Harbinger? He wasn’t a swordsman but a dagger wielder.

Bai Luo’s confidence astonished Kazuha. 

Soon, Kazuha remembered that this mysterious person had managed to injure the high and mighty Raiden Shogun. 

Such strength was certainly not something ordinary Shogunate soldiers could easily capture. 

Worrying about his capture was as pointless as worrying about a fish drowning in water.

“Leave quickly; the Shogunate will definitely come to check the situation under the cliff, and this small island will also send people over.” Bai Luo advised, looking up at the Tenshukaku, completely shrouded by clouds.

Without waiting for Kazuha to respond, he leapt into the water and disappeared beneath the surface. 

By the time Kazuha reacted and followed him into the water, Bai Luo was nowhere to be seen.

“What an extraordinary person,” Kazuha couldn’t help but exclaim, looking at the long sword in his hand.

Soon, his gaze focused on the blade. It wasn’t that his sword had an issue but because…

“That sword…”

Seeing his own sword, he finally realized why he felt something was off about the other’s sword. 

The blade, which should have been sharp, was blunt, while the back of the sword was sharpened.

In other words, when the other person swung the sword, the sharp edge was facing himself.

“It’s a reverse blade sword?!”
