What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

Will the Honkai Impact Scroll temporarily end with a battle after this phase, and then we'll sneak off to somewhere else for a change of pace?

Chapter 49: Mandate of Heaven and Changes in Human Affairs - Continued (5k)

"Lady Theresa, Lady Theresa! Has Lady Cecilia truly betrayed us? Lady Theresa, could you please tell me in detail? Lady Theresa!"

After the Archbishop of Destiny announced the latest list of wanted fugitives to all Destiny members, almost every Valkyrie Theresa knew and didn't know came to ask her about the situation.

The model couple of Destiny, who even had their wedding blessed by the Archbishop of Destiny, chose to defect to Destiny's mortal enemy organization only three days after the Second Honkai Impact ended.

As Cecilia's relative and the bishop's granddaughter, Theresa Apocalypse gets surrounded by people asking her questions even when she's just walking down the street.

Fortunately, Theresa was surrounded by members of the Snow Wolf Squad. They surrounded the short Theresa and quickly made their way through the crowd of questioners on the road.

When everyone arrived at Theresa's room, the members of the Snow Wolf Squad breathed a sigh of relief, and then all looked at Theresa Apocalypse, who was curled up in a chair with her hands wrapped around her knees.

This is also the last S-class Valkyrie openly recognized by Schicksal, and no matter how you look at it, it feels like Schicksal is doomed.

"Ask me anything you want to ask. Cecilia only informed me before she left... although I already knew she would definitely go with Siegfried."

Theresa spoke in a muffled voice, her head down, not looking at any of the team members.

The Snow Wolf Squad was established in 1996. It is a Valkyrie assault squad personally ordered and deployed by Otto Apocalypse, the Archbishop of Schicksal. It has a core of 6 members and its purpose is to prevent and suppress the occurrence of Honkai Beast disasters of Emperor level and above.

Under the still strict Valkyrie assessment system, the entire Destiny organization has only 6 A-rank Valkyries, and 5 of them have joined the Snow Wolf Squad.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to regard this special operations team as the most elite armed force of Destiny.

Then...

Team member A-rank Valkyrie Patrick Highsmith's identity as an Anti-Entropy undercover agent is revealed during the Second Honkai Impact.

Captain Cecilia Schariac, an S-rank Valkyrie, even went to join Anti-Entropy after the Second Honkai Impact ended.

If the entire Snow Wolf Squad had died in the Second Honkai Impact, they could have been posthumously honored as martyrs and respected by the people.

However, now that everyone has survived, two of the six core Valkyries in the team have betrayed them. This Snow Wolf Squad, which has made great contributions, has been rendered practically defunct by Schicksal.

All overseas assignments were canceled, and logistics personnel jumped ship en masse, as the banner that had been guiding them had changed hands.

This is a truly sad fact, but the ones who have a grudge are not the Snow Wolf Squad members, but the other Valkyries who once believed in them.

There was a strong sense of indignation, like, "We trusted you so much, why would you do this?!" and "RNM, refund our money!"

"It's certainly not a pleasant feeling to have your idol's image collapse. Of course, I'm different. I've always been Cecilia's most loyal fan, and all of this must be Anti-Entropy's doing!"

Shigure Kira: 乆乆乆乆乆乆!

"Seeing that you, Qiluo, are still as lively as ever, Lady Cecilia won't worry about going to Anti-Entropy."

Salome, who was standing nearby, promptly added a comment.

"How can that be the same! I also want to go with Lady Cecilia... cough cough, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Shiyu Qiluo shrank her neck and looked around. No one broke in, so that was good.

To be honest, if Cecilia hadn't failed to inform her beforehand, Shigure Kira would have already packed her bags and run away.

It doesn't matter where you fight the Honkai, it's easier to fight with Lady Cecilia.

"Be careful what you say, Shigure Kira. We are still the Valkyries of Destiny. Try not to be too intimate with Captain Cecilia."

On the other side, Cheng Lixue spoke up to offer advice.

"The dissatisfaction of others cannot affect us; we just need to avoid this storm in the end."

Although her master had lost his memory, he still agreed to let her rest at the Destiny Headquarters for the time being, so that she would have time to discuss the follow-up matters with the remaining members of the Snow Wolf Squad.

As for holding an online meeting, what's the difference between communicating at the Tianming headquarters and running naked?

"Tsk, in the end, isn't it just that the bishop wanted to sweep away the anomaly on the Siberian Plain with a salvo? We should thank the Second Herrscher for taking away these Honkai energy fission bombs, otherwise we would have been forced to make a glorious sacrifice."

Shub said that anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in her tone, and then after she finished speaking, her friend next to her elbowed her in the waist.

“Shub, you have to hope that no one is eavesdropping right now, otherwise we’ll all be used as targets to be shot at.”

"That's just how it is. I'm not afraid of a more chaotic struggle, but that doesn't mean I like having my life and death decided by my boss."

Shub Nicholas rose from the South American branch to become a member of the Snow Wolf Squad, always being the most troublesome one.

She and her host have no sense of belonging to fate; what she cherishes are her companions with whom she spends every day, her few close friends in the human world.

The so-called factional conflict is irrelevant to Shub; it's just that her friend is in Schicksal, so she is in Schicksal as well.

"I don't need to go on with the platitudes like 'I understand the reasoning,' so, Lady Theresa, what are our plans for the future? We can't just stay here and wallow in your despair, can we?"

Shub's words made Theresa raise her head. She took a deep breath to calm her inner turmoil, then exhaled completely and said:

"In that case, why don't you all come and teach at the St. Freya Academy that I've established?"

Theresa introduced the educational philosophy of St. Freya Academy to the four members of the Snow Wolf Squad present.

She hoped that St. Freya Academy could teach the Valkyries to protect themselves and not become cold and cruel machines.

“Cecilia said that before children become warriors, they should first freely engage with the world as ‘human beings’.”

"Fight for all that is good in the world." Therefore, one must first understand what is good in this world in order to comprehend the meaning of the slogan and unleash the power to protect it from within.

"And then they find out that we teachers are frontline personnel who have been ostracized and exiled by the Destiny Headquarters? That's a bit too unpleasant, isn't it? Why don't we just raise our own troops and become independent?"

Salome Jhokanan replied casually, her seemingly joking words carrying a hint of seriousness.

Theresa couldn't help but look into the other person's azure eyes, a seed planted in her heart, yet she still said:

"No, no, no, this is still somewhat inappropriate. Grandpa was ultimately wrong in making this choice, but we can't let it affect other innocent Valkyries. They were also willing to sacrifice their lives to fight against the Honkai."

Salome didn't continue, but simply nodded in agreement, temporarily putting aside this dangerous topic, while everyone present had their own thoughts.

Cheng Lixue frowned subconsciously. She was a person who valued stability and was content to support the organization she had chosen. She didn't want to cause any trouble. Despite her dissatisfaction, she survived in the end.

More importantly, his master also needed to heal at the headquarters of Destiny. Perhaps his master would continue to travel around afterward, but at this critical moment, he wanted to stay with her for as long as he could.

Shub Nicholas had a strange expression, but it was quickly overshadowed by excitement. She had thought that teaching would be a boring thing, but then she thought, wouldn't the people from the Candy House be able to live peacefully in this place of exile, St. Freya Academy?

Wow! I'm a genius!

Although I don't know how Brown Sugar will convince its family, this kind of small matter should be no problem, probably.

"I'll give it a try when I get back."

Brown Sugar responded to Shub's idea; it was an adventurous creature by nature, since those who dared not take risks all hid in the candy house.

Sensing that Black Sugar had given its consent, Shub excitedly hugged Salome beside her, only separating after Salome shoved her away, yelling, "You stupid dog, what are you doing?"

As for Shigure Kira, she couldn't understand or comprehend the reactions of others, but simply smiling along was enough for her.

Optimism, pessimism, myself.jpg

Theresa looked around, noted down everyone's reactions, and then knew their final choice.

"I'm sorry, Lady Theresa, I must stay in Destiny with my master and cannot accompany you to take up your post at St. Freya Academy."

"I will not tell anyone about the discussion you all had today, including my master."

Cheng Lixue was the first to step forward and leave. A hint of apology appeared on her usually calm face. After bowing to her former comrade-in-arms to say goodbye, she turned around, opened the door, and left Theresa's house.

The bond between teacher and student clearly outweighs the camaraderie of war in Cheng Lixue's heart, but she would not do anything that would make her lose sight of her place.

To help her master as much as possible, she should maintain her identity as a Rank A Valkyrie instead of leaving for distant lands.

After Cheng Lixue closed the door, the remaining three members of the Snow Wolf Squad withdrew their gazes and then expressed their opinions one by one:

"Salome Jokanan is willing to teach at St. Freya Academy."

"Shub Nicholas, same as above."

"Shiyu Qiluo, add one, add one!"

Theresa Apocalypse, the future headmistress of St. Freya Academy, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the three members of the Snow Wolf Squad that she had recruited during the academy's early days.

After all, there are only six A-rank Valkyries in the entire Destiny Academy right now, and St. Freya Academy has taken in three of them, which means she's squandering her good cards.

One S-rank weapon, three A-rank weapons, and an eleventh divine key, the Oath of Judah, which stands guard.

No other branch can match this configuration; the rest depends on how the teaching resources are allocated.

The first batch of students at St. Freya Academy were the experimental subjects rescued from the Tower of Babylon. Theresa was unwilling to abandon them, also to fulfill her promise to Zhao Si.

I promised the boy that I would protect these children... I cannot break my promise.

Thinking of this, Theresa's eyes hardened. She got off the chair and walked towards her bedroom, saying:

"Everyone, go back to your accommodations and pack your things. We may not be able to return to the Destiny Headquarters for quite some time."

"Oh, it's no big deal. I can sing anywhere. Oh, by the way, can I ask a transport ship to take my luggage? I have quite a lot of stuff here, like speakers and microphones..."

"Don't sing on the road if you want us all to crash."

"I know...I know."

Shigure Kira swallowed back the words that were just on the tip of her tongue, "I'm so happy, let me sing a song to celebrate," while Shub and Salome next to her nodded in approval.

Damn it, once I start teaching at St. Freya Academy, I absolutely have to practice my singing when I have some free time. Even if it means being the students' idol teacher during their school years, it would be worth it!

"I seem to have a dangerous idea in mind... Lady Theresa, I wonder how much equipment St. Freya Academy, which you mentioned, has?"

As the most reliable of the three, Salome was the first to ask her new boss a question.

Then Salome noticed that her boss glanced to the side, avoiding eye contact, and a sense of foreboding rose within her.

"Well, actually, St. Freya Academy... right now it's just land, but soon, you have to believe me, as long as we all lend a hand, and with the construction team allocated by Schicksal Headquarters, we'll definitely be able to complete all the facilities within three years!"

On my first day at work, I packed all my belongings and prepared to head to a deserted island to do some cleaning.

"Where's the salary?"

Salome pressed for more details.

"Distributed by the Heavenly Mandate Headquarters."
