The next morning, right after breakfast.
"Miss Kiana, your History exam, this time, is a fail." Rita smiled as she handed Kiana a test paper.
"Ah, I know..." Kiana, who had just woken up and was quite energetic while eating, now looked gray and lifeless, even spitting out a mini-Kiana.
"But don't worry, I can tell you about the make-up exam content right now." Rita sat opposite Kiana, picked up a cup of tea, and took an elegant sip.
"Alright, Rita, just tell Kiana the make-up exam content directly. The sooner she finishes the exam, the sooner you can go back and report." Himeko said with a yawn.
Himeko was fine now. After all, her practical assessment was done, and no one failed the practical assessment this time.
Himeko was very satisfied with this.
Her vacation could be more relaxed.
"Hehe, Senior Himeko, although Kiana's practical assessment was perfect, her theoretical knowledge also needs to keep up. After all, a Valkyrie should be perfect, without any shortcomings." Rita said, narrowing her eyes.
"And, Senior Himeko was so perfect before, why is Senior Himeko so lazy now?"
"Oh, Rita, people change." Himeko patted Rita's shoulder helplessly.
"You know how old I am now. When you reach my age, perhaps you'll change too."
"Senior Himeko, it's clearly you who has become more lax in training since arriving at Saint Freya." Rita shook her head.
"When Rita returns to Schicksal Headquarters to report, would you like to come back to Schicksal Headquarters for a period of training, Senior Himeko?"
"No, I'm quite good here." Himeko turned her head away.
Train at Schicksal Headquarters? That group of try-hards, who wants to go there?
Himeko thought to herself.
"Cough cough." Rita lightly coughed twice to bring Kiana back to her senses.
"Miss Kiana, the make-up exam content for History will primarily focus on the Second Eruption." Rita placed her communicator on the table and turned on the projector.
"What happened during the Second Eruption, the casualty results caused by the Second Eruption, what changes occurred within Schicksal Headquarters during the Second Eruption—these are all exam topics."
"...The Second Eruption?" Kiana had a question mark above her head.
"Yes, did student Kiana not listen carefully in class normally? The Second Eruption incident caused the most severe number of casualties among all Honkai events." Rita also tilted her head slightly.
Even if one wasn't a Valkyrie, they should know something about the Second Eruption.
After all, Schicksal Headquarters did not suppress the impact of the Second Eruption; its scope of influence was simply too vast, and the casualties were immeasurable.
"Then, may I ask, Teacher Rita!" Kiana raised one hand, as if answering a question in class.
"Miss Kiana, do you have any questions?"
"Can I ask Bronya and them to help me review?"
"How Miss Kiana reviews is Miss Kiana's business. Rita will not interfere with your review process." Rita picked up her teacup again and said with a smile.
"Then, then I'm going to find Bronya now!" Kiana said, immediately stood up, and ran upstairs.
"Miss Elysia, aren't you going with her?" Rita asked, looking at Elysia who was still sitting beside her, enjoying the air conditioning.
"Oh, Rita, there's no rush for that. It's so cool here, let me enjoy it a bit longer." Elysia was now like a cat, facing the air conditioner.
"Alright. The History of the Second Eruption that Miss Elysia will be viewing is different from Miss Kiana's."
"Otto has already prepared the data space for you to experience. After you watch the Second Eruption with Miss Kiana later,"
"You can enter the hidden space on your own." Rita said, handing a USB drive to Elysia.
"This is the key to the virtual space. Of course, Otto said you might not even need this key."
After Elysia took the key, a faint electric arc flickered in her hand. After knowing the content of the key, she handed it back.
"Elysia has received the key." Elysia stood up and stretched.
"Next, let me see what kind of surprise Otto has prepared for me ♬~" Elysia said, walking towards the stairs.
"I hope Miss Elysia has a pleasant experience." Rita smiled and nodded at Elysia.
"Mhm, see you later then."
After Elysia went upstairs, Rita also found an excuse to leave the living room.
Standing in her room.
"Otto, the key is as you said; Miss Elysia returned it after just one glance."
"Then, do you have the recording from that time?" Otto asked, sitting in his chair.
"Here is the recording from that time." Rita transmitted a video to Otto.
Watching the recording, Elysia took the USB drive and returned it shortly after.
Otto narrowed his eyes, then magnified the spot where Elysia's hand touched the USB drive.
He then saw the faint electric arc.
"How interesting. She can obtain the data within the key through a tiny amount of bioelectricity?"
Rita also saw the faint electric arc. "What is this ability of Miss Elysia's?"
"Miss Elysia also possesses a Divine Key, and it's a Divine Key that has never been recorded before."
"A weapon similar to Black Abyss White Flower and Oath of Judah?" Rita asked curiously.
"Yes, Rita. It's just that this ability might not only be due to the Divine Key." Otto's hand lightly tapped on the table.
"The rest are just conjectures. Rita, continue with your task. Remember to record Miss Kiana's reactions after she watches the Second Eruption." Otto said seriously.
"Yes, Otto. In this residence, Rita has already placed multiple hidden devices for recording."
"As long as Miss Elysia doesn't interfere, the recording can reach Otto's hands." Rita lowered her head slightly and bowed to Otto.
"Then, I will now terminate this contact."
"Mhm, thank you for your hard work, Rita." Otto nodded, finally ending the communication.
In Bronya's room, Kiana found the helmet she used for tutoring before and then found Bronya.
She planned to ask Bronya to tutor her again.
