The next few days were spent in routine.
During these days, Elysia also noticed that Mei had become much more cheerful.
She was more enthusiastic towards her, Kiana, and Bronya.
It was as if she had completely let herself go. (Elysia didn't know Mei already knew the truth because Elysia was drunk and asleep.)
But soon, it was time for the final exams.
Elysia's official Valkyrie exam results also came down.
Her Valkyrie exam was combined with this final exam.
The C-rank Valkyrie exam did not require actual combat; it could be completed within the Memory Battlefield.
When it came to the written exam.
Originally, Elysia didn't need to take the written exam since she hadn't studied for long, but she had applied to be an official Valkyrie, so sorry, she had to take the exam!
In the examination hall, Elysia, relying on her data intrusion ability, directly hacked into her phone, which she had placed outside the examination hall, and searched for answers to each question.
After the exam, Elysia wiped the non-existent cold sweat from her forehead.
"Elysia, how did you do?" Mei asked worriedly, standing beside Elysia after the exam.
After all, Elysia hadn't studied Honkai knowledge for long, so if she didn't do well, Mei would have to hug Elysia immediately to comfort her.
The above was what Mei thought in her heart.
"No problem!" Elysia said confidently, after all, she had cheated!
"What about you, Kiana? Did you finish your questions?" Mei looked at Kiana.
"This time, I made sure to fill in every single question!" Kiana said, tilting her head back like a proud kitten.
"Are you sure everything you wrote is correct?" Mei looked at Kiana like this and had a bad feeling.
"Of course it's right! I filled it all in! No matter what, the teacher will definitely give me a passing grade!" Kiana put her hands on her hips.
"Stupid Kiana, just because you fill in the test paper doesn't mean you'll pass." Bronya said, standing nearby.
"Forget it, now we can only see if Kiana can pass or not." Mei sighed.
To be honest, she had very little confidence, after all, she was very clear about how Kiana usually behaved in class.
She never seriously listened to the lectures.
"If Kiana doesn't pass, Bronya will help tutor Kiana."
"Hmm, if she doesn't pass, we'll just have to tutor her." Mei looked at the still proud Kiana.
"Alright, next it's time for the practical exam. I believe Kiana won't have any problems with this." Mei stroked Kiana's head. The practical exam was the one Mei worried about Kiana the least.
"Hmm, practical combat is what I'm best at!" Kiana said, shaking her fists a few times.
"Indeed, Kiana is still very energetic." Elysia also took the opportunity to touch Kiana. She had to admit, Kiana's head felt good to touch.
Especially when touched, Kiana would even show a comfortable expression, just like a kitten.
The practical exam was conducted in the Memory Battlefield.
It was still entered in squad formation.
After changing into their armor and picking up their weapons, the three of them walked into the battlefield.
Kiana, Mei, and Bronya were a fixed team. This was already set in the minds of both students and teachers. If one of them was missing one day, they would even worry if they had a conflict and would go to mediate.
Standing in the Memory Battlefield's resting area, Elysia watched the projection above the Memory Battlefield.
Elysia was watching the footage of the area where Kiana and her team were taking their exam.
The objective of this exam was a group of Rush-class Honkai Beasts plus one Chariot-class Honkai Beast.
Before entering the battlefield, they all knew their practical combat objective.
As soon as she stepped onto the battlefield, Kiana charged towards the Chariot-class Honkai Beast.
Next, Kiana would first distract the Chariot-class, while Bronya and Mei would quickly clear out the Rush-class and prevent them from attacking Kiana.
Charging in front of the Chariot-class, "Big guy, come and hit me!" Kiana shouted, jumping up and delivering a flying kick to the Chariot-class's head.
The Chariot-class Honkai Beast timely raised its forelimbs, blocking Kiana's attack, but the ground cracking under the Honkai Beast's feet indicated that Kiana's blow was absolutely not light.
With a roar, the Chariot-class suddenly lifted its forelimbs upwards, sending Kiana flying.
In mid-air, Kiana tried to change her posture while also using the twin guns in her hands to shoot at the Chariot-class.
The Honkai Beast looked at Kiana in the air, ignoring the bullets, and charged towards Kiana's landing spot.
But at this moment, a cannonball flew over, and the Honkai Beast had to raise its forelimbs to block the cannonball.
Kiana also landed smoothly on the ground. "Thanks, Bronya!" Kiana shouted and charged towards the Honkai Beast again.
Bronya, in the back, nodded expressionlessly, then aimed her firepower at the Rush-class Honkai Beasts again.
Mei looked at the reckless Kiana, and there was nothing she could do, as this was Kiana's style.
In terms of combat intuition, Mei, who had studied Hokushin Ittō-ryū, couldn't compare to Kiana.
Kiana was completely wild. Although she had studied gun-fu, her gun-fu was also integrated into her style.
She casually cut off the wing of a Rush-class Honkai Beast beside her, then directly pierced the Honkai Beast's body with the katana in her hand.
Then she immediately pulled out the katana and quickly approached another Rush-class with a specific dash.
With a spin of her body, a crack immediately appeared on the head of this Honkai Beast, and slowly, the head of this Honkai Beast split into two halves.
Bronya stood beside Mei, raining cannonballs on the distant Rush-class, occasionally helping Kiana interrupt the Chariot-class's movements.
Soon, the Rush-class Honkai Beasts were cleared out, and Mei, holding her katana in a reverse grip, charged towards the Chariot-class.
At this time, the Chariot-class was particularly battered.
There were charred spots all over its body, which were from Bronya's explosions.
Some tiny cracks also appeared on its forelimbs.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Kiana could solo this Chariot-class Honkai Beast.
After Mei reached the Honkai Beast's side, she directly stabbed its hind leg.
After being struck by Mei, the Honkai Beast seemed to feel pain and let out a roar.
Kiana and Mei, who were next to it, didn't react in time and felt a bit dizzy from the shock.
Then the Honkai Beast lifted its upper body high, intending to heavily press down towards Kiana's direction.
But a cannonball interrupted its movement. Its upper body, which was originally intended to smash down, recoiled slightly due to the cannonball.
The Honkai Beast tried hard to push its body forward; if it succeeded, Kiana would definitely have to withdraw from the exam.
But the appearance of the second cannonball directly made the Honkai Beast lie down.
Mei and Kiana also recovered at this time. Looking at the falling Honkai Beast, they quickly ran towards where the Honkai Beast was falling.
After the Honkai Beast lay on the ground, Kiana and Mei stood on either side of the Honkai Beast's head.
Mei fiercely plunged the katana in her hand into the Honkai Beast's head, and Kiana also emptied the bullets from the gun in her hand onto the Honkai Beast's head until all the bullets were expended.
Watching the Honkai Beast's corpse slowly disappear, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The two held hands and walked towards Bronya in the distance.
"Bronya! Look how awesome I am! I held off this big guy for so long!" Kiana said energetically.
"If it weren't for Bronya, stupid Kiana would have already withdrawn from the exam." Bronya said, looking at Kiana with half-closed eyes.
"That's right, after all, I had your help, Bronya!"
"Hmm, Kiana and Bronya both performed excellently." Mei sheathed her sword, stroking both of their heads with one hand, and said with a smile.
Then the three of them walked out of the Memory Battlefield together.
As soon as they stepped out of the doorway, the three of them walked towards Elysia in the distance. Himeko and Rita were also smiling and watching them from nearby.
