"I don't know, but what we encountered was just a lone Ganesha, and we didn't encounter any other Honkai Beast," Sister Elysia explained.
"Even if it was a lone Ganesha, you shouldn't have sent you two students!"
"Sister Himeko, didn't I come back safely? And I didn't even get hurt," Sister Elysia comforted Himeko.
"As long as it's an Emperor-Class Honkai Beast, you shouldn't be allowed to deal with it at all," Himeko said seriously.
"Teacher Himeko, is an Emperor-Class Honkai Beast very terrifying?" Mei asked. At this time, the strongest Honkai Beast Mei had encountered was only of the Temple-Class.
"Even an A-rank Valkyrie squad could suffer significant losses against an Emperor-Class Honkai Beast," Himeko said, clenching her fist.
"Usually, only S-Rank Valkyrie or special forces can face an Emperor-Class Honkai Beast alone," Himeko said, sighing after she finished, because she was only an A-rank.
Currently, the only S-Rank Valkyries openly acknowledged by Schicksal are Theresa and Durandal; others have not been announced by Schicksal at all.
"Sister Elysia, are you really not hurt? If you are, don't force yourself," Mei walked to Sister Elysia's side and said worriedly.
"I really am not hurt! After all, I'm just an archer. I don't get close; it was Fu Hua Class Monitor who was distracting Ganesha at the front," Sister Elysia quickly said.
"Then what about Fu Hua Class Monitor?" Mei continued.
"Don't worry, Fu Hua is fine too. We came back together."
It took Sister Elysia a long time to calm Himeko and Mei down.
As for Bronya, she just listened quietly from the side.
Kiana's starry eyes never closed!
Theresa also came down from upstairs at this time.
"This Ganesha accidentally escaped from a special squad," Theresa said.
"But even if it was an accidental escape, it shouldn't have been handled by two students," Himeko said.
"My grandpa said this was a rating test for Fu Hua and Sister Elysia." At this point, Theresa also sighed.
She couldn't refute a mission with such a reason.
Furthermore, her grandpa had also said that there were other squads nearby, and they would absolutely not allow Fu Hua and Sister Elysia to be seriously injured.
But she just hated her grandpa's behavior of giving such missions to her students without explaining it to her.
"Rating test? What kind of rating test requires an Emperor-Class Honkai Beast? This is just nonsense."
"Fu Hua, her rating is A-rank, and Sister Elysia is B-rank," Theresa said.
"…" Himeko was silent for a moment, then sighed. In that case, she really had nothing to say.
One A-rank and one B-rank Valkyrie going to intercept a wounded Emperor-Class Honkai Beast, while somewhat dangerous, was still achievable.
"So, Sister Elysia is now a B-rank Valkyrie? And that monster Class Monitor is already an A-rank?" Kiana said enviously.
"Kiana, be polite. You shouldn't call others monsters," Mei gently patted Kiana's head.
"But Class Monitor's physical abilities are pretty much like a monster's," Kiana said, covering her head aggrievedly.
"Alright, Kiana, you should still study hard and train, otherwise, you might not even be able to become a Valkyrie," Theresa said.
"How is that possible? I'm very smart, how could I not become a Valkyrie! Aunt, don't talk nonsense!" Kiana protested.
"Then, Kiana, do you want to come with me to train with Fu Hua tomorrow?" Sister Elysia said with a smile.
"Train with Class Monitor!?" Kiana remembered something and instantly shivered. "No! It'll kill me!"
"But, training with Class Monitor will make you stronger, you know. If you stay home every day, be careful you turn into a little fat cat that Mei doesn't want anymore~" Sister Elysia said gently.
Hearing Sister Elysia's words, Kiana immediately looked at Mei with tearful eyes. "Mei, you won't abandon me, right~"
"I definitely won't abandon you, but Kiana, you should also go and exercise. You can't just stay at home for the entire summer vacation," Mei said, stroking Kiana's head.
"But training with Class Monitor really will kill me," Kiana said, trembling.
"Don't worry, Kiana, you can just train with me tomorrow. Fu Hua said she would appropriately adjust the training intensity for me~" Sister Elysia tried to dispel Kiana's fear.
"Train with Sister Elysia? Really?" After hearing Sister Elysia's words, Kiana immediately agreed.
Now, both of them felt like they had gained a lot.
Sister Elysia found someone to suffer with her.
Kiana felt that training with Sister Elysia would definitely make her stronger too.
After resting for one night.
After breakfast.
Sister Elysia confidently led Kiana to the training ground.
From afar, Sister Elysia had already seen Fu Hua relaxing her body on the training ground.
"Fu Hua, I'm here~" Sister Elysia waved at Fu Hua as soon as she entered the training ground.
After walking to Fu Hua's side, "Fu Hua, do you mind if I bring one more person to train?" Sister Elysia pointed to Kiana behind her.
"I don't mind, then her training volume—" Fu Hua hadn't finished speaking.
Kiana quickly interjected, "I can just train with Sister Elysia."
"Good." Fu Hua nodded, and there was a hint of appreciation in her gaze towards Kiana.
Just now, she had planned to reduce Kiana's training volume even more, but she didn't expect her to like training so much that she wanted the same training volume as Sister Elysia.
"Then Sister Elysia, you take Kiana to warm up first. After you've warmed up, I'll set today's training goals for you," Fu Hua said to Sister Elysia.
"Okay, then, I'll go warm up now. But, Fu Hua, regarding my training volume, please go easy on me. After all, Sister Elysia still wants to wake up normally tomorrow."
"Don't worry, it will be quantified according to your physical condition," Fu Hua nodded.
The morning training was very easy, and Kiana could easily keep up with the intensity.
At noon, when Mei came to deliver lunch, Kiana was still confidently saying that she could easily complete today's training.
After the afternoon training was completed.
Kiana was carried back by Sister Elysia.
Because the entire morning training was used to train body flexibility.
The afternoon was for physical endurance training.
Lying on Sister Elysia's back, Kiana said somewhat unconvinced, "Sister Elysia can finish all these exercises, why can't I?"
"Kiana, no matter what, I, Sister Elysia, am now a B-rank Valkyrie~" Sister Elysia said with a smile.
"But Sister Elysia, you don't look much stronger than me," Kiana rested her chin on Sister Elysia's shoulder to save some energy.
"Darn it, Class Monitor really is a monster, isn't she? Her training seems to be several times more than ours, Sister Elysia," Kiana recalled Fu Hua's training again and said somewhat fearfully.
"Kiana, you can't speak ill of Fu Hua, because our training today was set by Fu Hua~" Sister Elysia chuckled after she finished speaking.
"And, Kiana, you were the one who said you wanted the same training intensity as me ♬~"
"Darn it, so it's all your fault, Sister Elysia!" Kiana bit Sister Elysia's shoulder.
"Hey, hey, Kiana, let go, let go," Sister Elysia quickly said to Kiana.
Kiana only bit lightly. After letting go, "Sister Elysia, when can I become a formal Valkyrie?"
"As long as you work hard enough, Kiana, becoming a formal Valkyrie will be simple for you, won't it?" Sister Elysia said, listening to Kiana's somewhat dejected words.
"But if formal Valkyries are all as strong as you and Class Monitor, then when can I get news of my father from Aunt?" For the first time, Kiana felt that her goal was so far away.
"Being so dejected isn't like you. If you don't try, how will you know the result?" Sister Elysia said gently.
If you don't try, how will you know the result?
These words were also what Sister Elysia said to herself.
