Two weeks after the peaceful training began, Sister Ellie had assumed that Otto had truly called them to headquarters just for training.
Then, Sister Ellie discovered that there were some additional ingredients in the recovery potions they usually drank.
Of course, only Kiana's portion had extra ingredients.
Although very faint, Sister Ellie clearly felt the Honkai Energy reaction.
Sister Ellie directly took Kiana's cup.
"Kiana, did anyone touch your cup today?" Sister Ellie directly unscrewed the cap and asked, looking at the potion inside.
"No, I don't think so. My cup is always here, and I haven't seen anyone come over," Kiana said, scratching her head, a bit puzzled.
Hearing Kiana's words, Sister Ellie sighed and directly handed her own cup to Kiana.
She watched Kiana hastily catch the cup, then look at her with a puzzled expression.
"You use my cup today; I'll take yours for now." After Sister Ellie finished speaking, she left without explanation, taking Kiana's cup with her.
A moment after Sister Ellie left, Mei asked Kiana, somewhat puzzled, "Is Sister Ellie busy with something? Training isn't over yet, is it?"
"I don't know, Mei. Just now, when Sister Ellie came over for water, she suddenly picked up my cup and then gave me hers," Kiana said, showing Mei the pink cup in her hand.
Hearing Kiana say this, Mei frowned and looked in the direction Sister Ellie had left.
"Mei, is something wrong?"
"Nothing. Just use Sister Ellie's cup today. Rest for a bit, then continue training," Mei said, rubbing Kiana's head.
Sister Ellie, who had left the training ground, immediately found Rita.
When she found Rita, Rita was sitting in the small garden, with tea already prepared in front of her.
"Did you already know I was coming to find you?" Sister Ellie sat directly opposite Rita and said with a sigh.
"Of course, after all, Sister Ellie cares very much about Kiana, doesn't she?" Rita responded with a smile.
Sister Ellie placed Kiana's water cup directly on the table and asked, "What's going on with these potions?"
"What aspect would Sister Ellie like to ask about?"
"Rita, you know what I'm going to ask. Why is there a Honkai Energy reaction in these potions?" Sister Ellie said very seriously.
"These are potions specially formulated for Kiana by Lord Bishop; they are harmless to Kiana's body," Rita explained directly, as if reading from a prepared script.
"Kiana's body is different from ours; a small amount of Honkai Energy will actually increase the cellular activity in Kiana's body."
"This will make Kiana's training easier, and her progress, of course, will be much faster."
"Furthermore, it's not just Kiana's potion that contains Honkai Energy; Sister Ellie's, Mei's, and Durandal's recovery potions all contain trace amounts of Honkai Energy."
"Bronya's body is not suitable for this potion, so she still uses the regular one. Lord Bishop has no better method for this."
After Rita finished speaking, she smiled and quietly looked at Sister Ellie.
But in response to Rita, there was only silence.
Sister Ellie had never expected that besides Kiana's cup, the potion in Mei's cup also contained Honkai Energy.
Sister Ellie bit her lip, looking at Kiana's cup. Was this intentionally discovered by her?
After a while, Sister Ellie exhaled, "So, this cup was intentionally discovered by me?"
"Yes, Sister Ellie. Lord Bishop said that if he waited for you to notice something was wrong after a while, you might get angry."
"Why would you think I wouldn't be angry now?" Sister Ellie was very curious about how Otto had made that deduction.
"Because there's still a long time until the transfer order ends," Rita said, then pulled out a piece of paper.
"This contains the materials used to formulate the potions. Otto specifically asked me to give it to you," Rita placed the paper in front of Sister Ellie.
Looking at the data on the paper, Sister Ellie bit her lip, a little headache-inducing.
Sure enough, Otto did it on purpose, didn't he?
Who can understand this stuff?!
"It's fine if Sister Ellie doesn't understand; after all, none of us are researchers. You can give it to Bronya; she might understand," Rita suggested directly.
"Alright, I really don't understand." Sister Ellie immediately took out her phone, took a picture, and sent it to Bronya.
"But why didn't you tell us the potion was changed?" Sister Ellie complained softly.
"Sister Ellie, actually, when I gave you the cups, I did mention changing the potion."
"It's just that you all moved very quickly. Mei and Bronya, they both should have heard what I said."
Looking at Rita's smiling expression and what she said.
It seemed that in the morning, they had indeed left in a hurry… It seemed Rita had said something then.
"This kind of thing should have been said earlier," Sister Ellie's tone weakened a bit at this point.
"You're wronging me there, Sister Ellie. I only got the potions this morning, so I could only explain before you set off," Rita looked at Sister Ellie with a resentful gaze, her voice tinged with a hint of grievance.
"I know, I know! Please, Rita, be normal. It's too out of place!" Sister Ellie directly turned her head away.
Rita in this state was truly too jarring.
"But adding Honkai Energy to the potion, normal Valkyries wouldn't be able to use it at all, right?" Sister Ellie opened the cup and looked at the liquid inside.
"Yes, that's why Lord Bishop specially prepared it for you."
"Specially prepared?"
"In the tests, except for Bronya, your Honkai Energy resistance is much higher than that of ordinary Valkyries, so your bodies can adapt to Honkai Energy."
Rita poured out some of the potion from the cup.
The potion was still transparent, but the originally light blue potion had now changed color slightly.
