Now, although there were still a few days until Kiana's make-up exams, St. Freya Academy had officially entered the holiday. For the students, this was a good thing, as they could have ample time to rest, have fun, and even further train.
For Hua Yi, this holiday added a troublesome matter.
Obtaining Friendship Supply requires Friendship Points, and the acquisition of Friendship Points must be done by contacting Valkyries and Preparatory Valkyries every day. It wasn't difficult for Hua Yi to contact Raiden Mei and the others;
he saw everyone when they ate together. As for Headmistress Theresa, although she had many official duties to handle, she still occasionally came to taste Raiden Mei's cooking, or to drink bitter gourd juice at the beverage shop.
Hua Yi couldn't understand Theresa's obsession with a beverage with such a strange taste, he just took the initiative to contact her whenever he discovered Theresa's whereabouts, and chatted with her for a few sentences. Theresa didn't seem to resist, but was rather happy, and even wanted to invite Hua Yi to drink a few cups of bitter gourd juice. Hua Yi sternly refused.
The troublesome matter was Fu Hua. As the school entered the holiday, the students didn't have to attend classes together anymore, and Hua Yi, if he didn't actively seek her out, wouldn't have a chance to contact Fu Hua.
With Fu Hua's personality, if Hua Yi looked for a reason to contact her every day, according to Fu Hua, it would be "unsolicited kindness, implying ill intent."
But if he just ignored Fu Hua for the entire holiday, it was also unacceptable for Hua Yi. He would lose a lot of Friendship Points, and Fu Hua herself wasn't the type of person who needed to be alienated and guarded against.
So, on this day, Hua Yi came to the training room where Fu Hua was.
In St. Freya Academy, as long as one became a qualified Valkyrie, they would have their own training room. Fu Hua, who was also the class monitor and an A-rank Valkyrie, was no exception. Although she came to St. Freya Academy from Schicksal, Theresa hadn't taken any precautions against her, but instead gave her a high degree of trust.
After all, in the final analysis, most of the people at St. Freya Academy were previously members of Schicksal, and only later followed Theresa to become independent. If one were to suspect everyone just because of this, then everyone would become a suspect.
"Is there anything? Class Monitor Hua Yi."
In the training room, Fu Hua, who had taken off her glasses, completely revealing her delicate and beautiful face, asked this when she saw Hua Yi arrive.
"I'm familiarizing myself with the environment of St. Freya Academy during the holiday. I heard this is Class Monitor Fu Hua's training room, so I came over to take a look. I'm sorry for not explaining beforehand. Did I disturb you?"
"Training requires a balance between intensity and relaxation, otherwise it's harmful and not beneficial. Classmate Hua Yi coming over to chat with me just gave me an opportunity to adjust my state. I only appreciate you, you don't need to apologize."
Fu Hua wore a uniform that was the same material as the ordinary student uniform, but the style was more inclined to martial arts clothing, revealing a heroic and handsome temperament. After a slight pause, the eighteen-year-old, countless months old, youthful, and invincible beauty continued to say.
"I heard that Kiana is studying recently?"
"Yes, she's reading history books, hoping to pass the make-up exams."
"Is that so."
Fu Hua seemed to not want to discuss Kiana's affairs too much, sizing up Hua Yi, and quickly changed the topic.
"During the previous exams, you used a greatsword to fight in the practical combat exam, and you showed very good skills, but, compared to your skills, your strength is even more exaggerated."
"Perhaps it's because I'm gifted."
Hua Yi didn't reveal the existence of the stigmata in his body either, and talked with Fu Hua casually, then noticed the gauntlets, or rather, the arm guards that Fu Hua was wearing, and said.
"Class Monitor Fu Hua seems to use gauntlets as a weapon?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"Compared to other weapons, gauntlets have higher requirements for physical fitness, right? After all, a blade can rely on sharpness to kill Honkai beasts, while gauntlets seem to only rely on the user's strength. Even so, she's still an A-rank Valkyrie. Class Monitor Fu Hua's strength should also be great."
Hua Yi was very curious about who was stronger, Fu Hua or Theresa.
"I don't rely solely on strength, but rather I use internal force... that is, by using Honkai energy to increase the lethality. I call it Inch Heart Fist, and what I just practiced was Inch Force - Open Heaven."
Fu Hua didn't hide it either, and told Hua Yi, which made Hua Yi think about whether he should take this opportunity to learn Inch Heart Fist, but quickly gave up.
Not to mention whether the other party would agree, even if she nodded in agreement, Hua Yi didn't think he would necessarily be able to learn it. This was a more profound skill, different from swordsmanship. If it could be easily learned, the other students of St. Freya Academy should have mastered a move or two. After all, in the class, Fu Hua would never refuse the help of others.
Besides, he had also figured out a set of methods to use Honkai energy to briefly enhance his physical fitness and replenish his stamina consumption.
While Hua Yi's thoughts were flowing, Fu Hua seemed to have remembered something, and said.
"I heard that you suffered very serious injuries when you first came to St. Freya Academy, and you received treatment for a considerable amount of time. Are you fully recovered now?"
This was pure concern, and it was also one of the reasons why Fu Hua, who clearly maintained a certain distance from everyone in the class, and seemed cold and difficult to get along with, still had a very high popularity.
She always touched on the key points when speaking, giving people a clean and decisive feeling. Fu Hua was this type.
"Well, I'm fully recovered, thank you for your concern. My physical fitness is quite good."
Hua Yi's answer, however, didn't reassure Fu Hua. The girl walked over to Hua Yi, and at a closer distance, sized him up.
"Although the greatsword techniques you displayed in the practical combat training were almost perfect, heavy weapons like greatswords should bring considerable burden to people. You can't be careless, and if you leave behind hidden injuries, it will affect your whole life."
"By the way, Class Monitor Fu Hua, have you said such words to Himeko?"
Although he had already asked the question, Hua Yi quickly got the answer himself. With Murata Himeko's personality, she would definitely not give Fu Hua a chance to understand her physical condition.
And noticing the problem with the appellation in Hua Yi's words, Fu Hua raised her eyebrows.
"I did say similar words. Also - Himeko? According to your position and identity, Classmate Hua Yi, you should call her Teacher Himeko or Lieutenant Colonel Himeko."
"Cough, in fact, our relationship is quite good in private, so it's okay to use the name Himeko, and she herself hasn't objected."
Hua Yi felt that, given his current relationship with Murata Himeko, calling her Teacher or Lieutenant Colonel in ordinary situations would be a bit distant. He decided to now casually reveal the relationship between them to Fu Hua.
After a brief silence, Fu Hua revealed a somewhat complex expression.
"It seems that I'm being too nosy, I'm sorry... Classmate Hua Yi, you have been in St. Freya Academy for several days, do you feel that I am somewhat too rigid and inflexible?"
