In the past, Theresa could still comfort herself by saying that it was still a long way for Kiana to know all this, but now Skyrim has sent Maria over, which means that grandpa has decided not to keep this matter secret any longer!
After learning about the candidate, Theresa of course asked Otto first, and Otto replied that Maria asked to come here herself.
"Now we can only take one step at a time..."
On the road leading to the dormitory.
[Your mood right now... is very complicated, right? ]
"How could it not be complicated? However, if I must say, the speed at which all this happened is a little slow. Didn't we meet someone from the Shanyat family when I was on an investigation mission with the squad leader? It has been quite a while since then, and since then, I have actually been prepared for this day to come soon."
Are you afraid of the truth?
"The truth... the worst truth, perhaps, is that I am not actually 'Kiana Kaslana'?"
What if this is true?
"Then what can I do? Where can I go to cry? If I'm not 'Kiana Kaslana', if Mei and Bronya knew about this, it would only get them into trouble, right? You don't have a physical body, I can't touch or see you... Where can I go to cry? Who can I cry to?"
The girl's heart is actually like a mirror. She knows very well that if her name really does not belong to her, then the relationships that belong to this name do not belong to her either.
【…】
"...I have already vaguely realized this. This is the worst case scenario I could come up with when you were not around. I wanted to deny these thoughts, but you know, the more you want to deny them, the more you have to find evidence to deny them. But the evidence I found...cannot deny these at all."
[You... grew up earlier than others. ]
"Isn't this what you taught me? Even though you're by my side, I'm still living alone in this reality. From Northern Europe to the Far East, how can I get through this period if I don't grow up quickly?"
The gaze of a certain spirit behind him shifted to the clear blue sky. Kiana was more mature than he thought, but there were not many changes. She still liked to deliberately ignore the things she didn't want to accept.
For her now, the fact that her past was fake is no longer unacceptable, and it is worth it that I have been working hard over the years to help her develop a mentality that can accept all this.
However, it seems that she can barely accept these now, but it does not mean that she has succeeded, because this time, there is something that is even more difficult for her to accept.
The fact that he could now connect to reality through Kiana's body had been discovered by Grayshu, but Grayshu didn't seem to want to tell anyone else.
Yes, when Grace said that she had seen through it, it still surprised him a little.
At that time, Grayshu said while painting: "Kiana, the color of dawn is getting more and more on you."
Kiana didn't understand and thought that Grayshus meant something else, but he definitely realized immediately that Grayshus was actually trying to talk to him.
If Grayshu found out about what he did with Kiana, would Alicia also know about it? After all, Grayshu could see people's colors, and Alicia and he had a connection because he took away her power.
He could feel the longing coming from the other end, so similarly, Alicia would definitely know something.
While he was still hesitating about how to control the situation, Kiana asked casually, "Speaking of which, Mr. Grayshu, you seem to like drawing the experiences of Lord Lucifer in the legend."
"Yes, but that is a story that is so long ago that it cannot be any longer. These paintings may not reflect the situation at that time." Grayshu's eyes passed Kiana and seemed to be looking at herself. "If possible, I would like to say a few words to Lucifer, even if it is only one sentence."
Because he had been seen through by Grayshu, and although the time he could be online was extremely short in order to ensure continuous connection, a sentence with a few words was also acceptable, so he still said to Grayshu at the end: "You have grown up, Grayshu."
Before this, it was Grace who communicated with him unilaterally through paintings, paints, notes, etc. After she went offline, Grace also said that she would not tell all this to anyone for the time being.
Through some of the information provided by Grayshu, he was able to piece together the current situation to some extent.
Grayshut clearly told him that if what happened to him with Kiana was exposed now, Mebius would most likely take radical measures immediately, and although others would mind, they would not object.
Finally, when Grayshu was asking about his attitude, he asked Kiana to tell Grayshu his answer based on the color choices given by Grayshu.
I thought I had dealt with the Herrscher of the Sky, and that Kiana would no longer become as withdrawn as she was in Sky City, but in the end, I found myself becoming the big boss at the end of the level...
Good news, the Herrscher of the Void can no longer interfere with Kiana.
Bad news, I became the big boss.
The conversation in the Moonlight Throne made him realize that the importance of the position he occupied in Kiana's heart was a little beyond his expectations. Now this conversation with Kiana made him further confirm this.
What's more, the fact that Kiana can accept her false past now does not mean that her psychological endurance can completely withstand the pressure. If another truth on her side is added, it will still exceed the threshold of her psychological endurance.
We must think of a way during this period of time... At least, we can reduce the impact a little bit...
And there is...
"Hmm... Mei is practicing kendo at the training ground now, and Bronya is also still conducting inspections..." While a certain spirit behind her was still thinking, the girl had already changed her mood, "As for the class monitor, uh, she is a little too rigid... It's decided, let's go to Mr. Grayshu's studio to study!"
maple:"……"
After Grayshut revealed what happened to Kiana, she told Kiana that if she wanted to find a quiet place in the future, she could go to her studio.
Then, Gracie's studio became Kiana's favorite place to go when she skipped classes or slept in. After all, because of Gracie, few people would disturb her painting in her studio. Theresa and Himeko would never think that Kiana would go to Gracie's studio to slack off.
Or, if Kiana sometimes needs to think about something alone, she will go to Grayshu's studio. For example, after the encounter with Ivar Shaniat, she went to Grayshu's studio to think about what would happen next.
Although Kiana has been trained to be very good by herself, and the original Paramecium seems to have nothing to do with her, but in essence, she is still the same Kiana.
I don’t want anyone to get hurt, I always love others before I love myself, and... I’m afraid of being alone.
"By the way, Feng."
【Um? 】
"You've actually known Ms. Grayshue for a long time, right? I noticed that every time I talked to Ms. Grayshue, your tone was different from when you were talking to others. Although it was a little worse than when I told you about Ellie."
[…The last time I saw her, she was still a child.]
"Oh……"
Kiana was thoughtful. Teacher Grayshu was about 20 years old. The last time Feng saw Teacher Grayshu, she was still a child. In other words, Feng might not be much older than herself. She should not be a grandfather...
However, I have heard that the Shaniyat branch in Greece and the Shaniyat family at the Tianming headquarters have long been no longer close in blood. Judging from his relationship with Ellie, he should be the Shaniyat from Greece.
If I have a chance to go to Shaniyat's house later, I'll do some research.
maple:"……"
Are you still wondering if I am your grandfather? Is this a question worth worrying about?
Chapter 20 Before the Assessment
"By the way, Bronya, have you seen Kiana recently?" Mei asked Bronya who was adjusting the computer configuration in front of her.
"Stupid Kiana..." Bronya raised her head and thought for a moment, "I haven't seen her much recently. Bronya heard that it's because Kiana's academic performance is too poor. If she fails the Valkyrie level test this time, she might be demoted to a C-level Valkyrie."
"C-rank Valkyrie?" Mei said in surprise, "But... no matter what Kiana says, she won't..."
"For a Valkyrie, academic performance is still very important." Bronya said, "However, for Kiana, perhaps we don't need to worry about her. After all, she was admitted to Qianyu Academy based on her own performance. What's more, the principal seems to have arranged for Major Himeko to tutor her, right?"
"Himeko... Teacher?" Mei turned her head to the drunk Himeko lying on the table, "Are you... sure?"
Bronya was silent for a moment, then said, "Based on Bronya's understanding of Major Himeko, she may have handed over the task of tutoring Kiana to the squad leader."
"If it's the squad leader, then there's really nothing to worry about..."
Before Mei finished her words, she saw Fu Hua coming in from the door to go back to her room. After her eyes twitched, Mei tried to speak: "Class monitor."
"Hmm? Is there anything wrong, Mei?" Fu Hua stopped and looked at Mei and said.
"Um, did Teacher Himeko ask you to tutor Kiana?" Mei asked.
"Well, Teacher Jizi did ask me for this." Fu Hua pushed up her glasses and said, "But, Kiana probably doesn't need me to help her with any tutoring. She just borrowed my notes to review on her own. In this regard, I think you can all trust Kiana. Although she doesn't seem to work hard, she actually learns things very quickly."
After a pause, Fu Hua added: "Mei-san, and Bronya-san, there is one thing I think you should know. Kiana-san already possesses the qualities required of an A-rank Valkyrie. Perhaps in the near future, she will become a true A-rank Valkyrie."
"Eh? But..."
"I have a piece of gossip here, do you want to know?" Fu Hua walked to her door, put her hand on the doorknob, then turned around and said to Mei and Bronya.
"What's the news?" Mei asked.
"The person who came from the Shaniyat family for this Valkyrie level exam is Maria Shaniyat, one of the current S-level Valkyries of Tianming." Fu Hua's glasses seemed to reflect some light. "She is also Kiana's mother and Cecilia Shaniyat's cousin."
After saying this, Fu Hua walked into her room and closed the door.
"So, in terms of seniority, she is Kiana's... aunt?" Mei said, and then realized one thing, that is, Kiana herself didn't know much about the Shaniyate family. Maria Shaniyate's arrival, and Fu Hua's statement that Kiana would become an A-rank Valkyrie soon... This means...
Mei actually knows something in her heart. When Kiana's life experience catches up with her, it will probably be the time when she will part ways with her. Now Kiana already has the strength of an A-class Valkyrie, while she is still only a B-class Valkyrie.
If that day really comes...
Just when Mei was feeling a little depressed, she suddenly noticed that Bronya beside her seemed a little strange.
"Maria Shaniat..."
Bronya repeated the name mentioned by Fu Hua, and fell into a past that was almost unbearable to recall.
The fully armed Valkyries of the Shaniyat family appeared suddenly, and the Titan troops guarding near the orphanage were wiped out in a short period of time under their surprise attack. Their attack was so sudden that Mother Cocolia didn't even have time to transfer all the children away in the first place.
The orphanage was destroyed by the indiscriminate firepower of the Shaniyats. Some children were seriously injured, while others died forever under the ruins.
At that time, the woman wearing the Valkyrie armor and floating in the air was imprinted in Bronya's memory like a nightmare. Maria Shaniat was the only information she could know about that woman.
After meeting Kiana and knowing that she was half Shanyat, Bronya almost couldn't control her emotions, but she held back at the time because she really couldn't beat Kiana at that time, and Kiana herself was not familiar with the Shanyat family.
Now, Kiana’s past has come back to haunt her, but how could it not be the case with Bronya’s?
The Shaniyat family's reason for attacking the orphanage was very legitimate, because Tianming suspected that the orphanage in Cocolia was conducting some secret research, and this was indeed the case. So after the Shaniyat family launched an armed attack on the Cocolia Orphanage, the accusations made by Anti-Entropy against Tianming had almost no effect. In addition, the other executors also maintained a disapproving attitude towards Cocolia, so this matter did not cause any waves in the end.
After all, no one expected that the Shanyiat family would be so cruel as to ignore the children in the orphanage and actually launch a fire attack on the orphanage.
The Shaniyat family originally maintained a neutral attitude in the battle between Destiny and Anti-Entropy, but that day, Bronya truly witnessed how terrible and unscrupulous this originally neutral family could be when they were hostile to Anti-Entropy.
For other people, whether it was Destiny or Anti-Entropy, this incident was just a casual mention, but for Bronya, it was the beginning of the hatred of Cocolia and the surviving children in the orphanage towards the Shaniyat family.
When Elly Shanyat came to Saint Freya before, Bronya was able to restrain herself and say that she was a member of the Shanyat family who did not participate in the war. Moreover, Elly's attitude was always very friendly, which made people feel no negative emotions. But this time, it was the leader of the orphanage incident who came in person...
"Bronya?" Mei's concerned voice interrupted Bronya's thoughts, "What's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing... Sister Mei, Bronya just... remembered some things from the past..." Bronya lowered her eyes and then left. "Bronya is a little tired today, so she will go back to her room to rest first."
Mei watched Bronya leave, and her intuition told her that Bronya's abnormality appeared after she heard the name "Maria Shaniyate". It seemed that Bronya also had a grudge with Maria Shaniyate... So she was the only one in the fifth team who felt like an outsider?
Fu Hua's room.
After confirming that no one around would hear the news in the room, Fu Hua looked at the computer on her desk and pondered for a long time before finally turning it on as if she had made up her mind and connecting to the communication from another place.
"Master!" A cheerful and enthusiastic voice came from the other end of the communicator, "You finally agreed to connect me!"
"Lixue... I said, there's no need to be so enthusiastic, and no need to be so loud..." Fu Hua said, pressing her brows with a headache.
The person on the screen is named Cheng Lixue. In terms of her identity, she should be called the former S-class Valkyrie of Tianming, a former member of the Snow Wolf Squad, the current Valkyrie instructor at the headquarters, and also the instructor of the Immortal Blade. In addition, her other identity is the eighth disciple of the Red Kite Immortal and the holder of the Xuan-Yuan Sword Ruoshui.
This kid is easy to talk to and usually looks like a steady person, but when it comes to her side, he seems to have changed his face. This attitude of changing his face as easily as turning the pages of a book always reminds Fu Hua of a comrade who has been dead for 50,000 years.
The guy in my memory was a man who changed his attitude as quickly as turning the pages of a book. His attitude towards his companions was completely different from his attitude towards other people.
I can never remember the names of people I don’t care about, and I always look too lazy to communicate with others...
Thinking of this, Fu Hua couldn't help but think of her other companions, and the snake master who confronted her on the snowy plain during the Second Herrscher incident.
Is it really necessary to sacrifice everything for his return? If he were still here, if he could see it, would he want this to happen?
She couldn't help but sigh softly.
"What's wrong, Master?" Cheng Lixue noticed Fu Hua sighing and immediately asked with concern, "Are you worried about anything recently?"
"That's not the case." Fu Hua said calmly, "I just remembered some things from the past."
"Things in the past... Do you mean the things during the Second Great Collapse?" Cheng Lixue hesitated for a moment before saying, "The monster you fought with, what exactly was it..."
"I told you before, Lixue, don't worry about these things, and you don't need to know these things." Fu Hua shook her head, signaling Cheng Lixue not to pursue the matter any further.
In order to promote the full awakening of the Second Herrscher and collect the data she needed, Mobius even went so far as to stop herself from suppressing the Second Herrscher. She also said, "Hua, sometimes it's not good to treat this civilization too much like a baby. Shouldn't this civilization have the ability to defeat a Herrscher on its own?"
The problem is that the Second Herrscher was no longer just a regular Herrscher... Didn't we survive from the ruins of the previous civilization to this day in order to help the current civilization defeat the collapse? Isn't this the common wish of all of us heroes, as well as him who left us first?
Mebius did not comment on her words, but simply asked her to leave.
Of course she couldn't give in, so after a standoff on the snowy field, she had a brief clash with the other party.
Because Otto had hinted to her in advance that Mobius might interfere in the crusade against the Herrscher, she entrusted Yu Duchen to Cheng Lixue before encountering Mobius, and asked her disciple to go into the Tower of Babylon with Otto to carry out the decapitation operation on the Second Herrscher.
Without Yu Duchen, she still couldn't defeat the collapsed Mobius with only the Xuanyuan Sword in her hand, especially since Mobius at that time still held the Pseudo-God Key that she had researched and had the ability to simulate the Herrscher of Erosion.
If she could release the power of Garuda in her body, she might not be at a disadvantage, but Fu Hua was always wary of man-made collapse, not to mention that she didn't want to actually fight with Mebius.
So after just a brief confrontation, he found himself at a disadvantage.
When Cheng Lixue evacuated from the Tower of Babel, Mebius achieved his goal and left.
Cheng Lixue saw clearly how she collapsed artificially.
The girl wanted to draw her sword against Mobius at that time, but Fu Hua stopped Cheng Lixue immediately because she knew that Cheng Lixue was no match for Mobius at all. In her impression, perhaps only her apprentice could defeat Mobius.
However, after Midrash was completely killed, Suchang went to the paradise of the afterlife to be tempered, and has not come out yet...
