"Yes, yes, I understand, teacher."
Covering the place where Xia Chuanhu touched her, Anna nodded with a flushed face. Then, as if she remembered something, she quickly took out a carefully wrapped gift box from her backpack on the sofa: "Oh, I almost forgot... that, teacher, and classmate Kiana, this is a congratulatory gift from the Shanyiat family."
"Gift? Thank you!"
Kiana quickly accepted it: "Can I open it now?"
"Of course, please do so."
Without any hesitation, Kiana opened the gift that Anna sent on behalf of Shaniyat - a crystal necklace, with Kiana's name engraved on the largest crystal.
Kiana doesn't know much about this kind of jewelry, but she instinctively feels that this necklace is quite beautiful.
"Huh? This necklace is not cheap?" Xia Chuanhu raised his eyebrows, "But Kiana is half a member of the Shanyiat family, so giving her a necklace like this is not bad."
"Brother, can you bring it to me?"
Handing the necklace to Xiachuanhu, Kiana asked with some anticipation.
When asked this question, several people's eyes suddenly turned over and fell on Xiachuanhu and Kiana.
"Of course you can, but let Siegfried take this opportunity - come here, you father."
"I say, can you please give me a little face today?"
"Everyone here knows what you are like under my control." Xia Chuanhu flicked Siegfried's forehead. "Speaking of which, the Shanyiat family has sent gifts, so you, as a father, shouldn't be unprepared?"
"How can it be!"
Siegfried said with great conviction: "I am definitely prepared!"
"Then take it out first."
"At Theresa's."
"......"
3. Gifts for each
Noticing that all eyes in the venue were focused on her, Theresa sighed helplessly.
"Well, the gift that Siegfried gave to Kiana is indeed with me. To be more precise, it was a gift that Siegfried and I prepared together. I'm a little embarrassed to say that Siegfried and I have been in financial difficulties for the past two years, so we couldn't come up with anything particularly good right now."
"That's right! I've been thinking about handing over the Holy Fire Judgement to Kiana for several years!"
The Holy Fire Judgement is the divine key passed down from generation to generation by the head of the Kaslana family. Only the head of the family is qualified to use it. Siegfried has been using it for the past ten years, but Siegfried has long wanted to hand over the Holy Fire Judgement to Kiana when she can stand on her own.
But two years ago, after being arrested by the World Serpent, even though he was finally rescued by Xia Chuanhu, Siegfried's Holy Fire Judgement and Theresa's Oath of Judas were taken away by the World Serpent.
As a result, the two have only been able to use standard weapons in the past two years, and the new exclusive weapons have not yet been developed.
"However, I believe this gift is absolutely the most suitable for Kiana."
Theresa took out a note and a special ID card from her bosom and handed them to Kiana: "After the banquet is over, or tomorrow, you go to this place, Kiana. Your weapon is waiting for you there. I think if it is you, it will definitely respond to you happily."
After receiving the note with the address and the ID card, Kiana didn't quite understand what Theresa said, but since it was a gift prepared by her father and aunt, it must be a great gift, right?
"Thank you, Dad and Aunt."
"You're welcome. Come on, let daddy put the necklace on you."
"No, let me do it, Siegfried, you are so clumsy."
"Theresa, I was the one who helped Cecilia put on her necklace."
"How dare you mention this!"
(Ahhh, it starts again.)
Everyone else had similar expressions when they saw Siegfried and Theresa bickering with each other again. After all, over the years, whenever these two were present, they would bicker with each other in no time, just like two children who hadn't grown up.
But the two have been friends for many years, and this situation has long become a daily routine between them.
"Speaking of gifts, I have one here as well."
Rita also took out a small bottle from her bag: "This is a limited edition perfume, which is the extra reward I got from my last mission. I hope you don't think this gift is too simple."
"No, no, I'm very happy that Senior Rita can give me a gift!"
(Just, perfume... I don't know if it's suitable for me?)
Kiana has never worn perfume. To put it even more extreme, she rarely dresses up, and even if she does, she only wears light makeup. After all, her goal is to become a Valkyrie, and a Valkyrie who goes to the battlefield doesn't need to dress up too beautifully. Anyway, she can't use her looks to [cutely kill] Honkai beasts.
"I have prepared one for you as well."
As Aozaki Touko spoke, she handed a palm-sized doll to Kiana.
Judging from the shape, it is a...flying dragon doll?
But to be frank, the doll is ugly, so ugly-cute that it can be said.
Himeko Murata knew her boss's ability very well, and she definitely couldn't have made such a low-quality doll.
"Director, this puppet..."
"When Xiachuan was studying under me, the first doll he made looked like this. Although it is troublesome to imitate that kind of youthfulness and immaturity, I have restored the style of that time 100%. It is very commemorative, isn't it?" Aozaki Touko looked at Xiachuan Hu proudly.
".....Orange, that was something that happened many years ago. Please don't expose my dark history now, okay?" Xia Chuanhu smiled bitterly twice.
He really had never expected this gift from Aozaki Touko. After all, he had long forgotten about it.
Kiana took the doll and looked at it from top to bottom, then looked at Natsukawa Tiger - why didn't it match? Was her brother still capable of making something like this?
But gratitude still cannot be forgotten.
"Thank you, Sister Orange."
"I don't mind calling me sister-in-law."
"orange!"
Seeing that his own Aozaki Touko was trying to cause trouble, Xiachuan Hu quickly pulled her aside. At the same time, he immediately felt the sharp gazes from some people.
However, these gazes only lasted for a moment, and soon those people continued to give gifts to Kiana.
The aircraft carrier model made by Jizi, the ring carefully selected by Ragnar, the pink dress specially bought by Vita...even Bianca prepared a gift for her sister - a pair of flower-shaped hairpins.
Looking at the gifts that were gradually increasing in her hands, Kiana's initial happiness gradually turned into a panic of not being able to take them all, and in the end her eyes became slightly red.
"Everyone... I'm really sorry for making you spend money on me. Thank you very much for the gifts you gave me. I will cherish them for the rest of my life."
"After all, today is the first important day in your life."
Siegfried said, "The next important day is your coming-of-age ceremony, and then it will be time for you to wear your wedding dress! However, considering that you are Cecilia's and my child, we may have to prepare a celebration party for your advancement to an S-class Valkyrie!"
"Dad..."
"Of course, Xia Chuan cooks!"
Snapped!
The second half of the sentence made Xia Chuanhu smile and punch Siegfried.
"But since everyone has given gifts, I can't be left behind."
"Eh?"
Hearing what Xiachuanhu said, Kiana couldn't help but be stunned, and touched the badge still on her chest: "Brother, didn't you give me this?"
"That's a gift from me as a teacher. Whenever a student graduates from my school, I will give them the same badge. It can be said to be one of the symbols of the El-Melloi classroom." Xia Chuanhu said as he placed his hand on his chest. "The next one is a gift from me as your brother, and I will give it to you in my personal capacity."
Buzz——————!
Accompanied by a flash of light, Xia Chuanhu pulled out a ball of light from his chest and placed it in Kiana's hand.
And at the moment when the light dissipated, a golden scabbard inlaid with a large amount of blue enamel as decoration came into everyone's sight. Aozaki Touko looked at Natsukawa Tora with some surprise.
"Tiger, are you...going to give her this?"
"Well, I can't use it anyway."
Something that your brother can’t use?
Kiana frowned: "Brother, what is this?"
"It is said that this scabbard is a match for King Arthur's holy sword and can heal any injury." Xia Chuanhu explained, "After all, you will be going out on missions frequently in the future, and you will definitely encounter many dangers. I can't protect you all the time, so as a substitute, I will give you this scabbard."
"As long as it is still in your hand, you can completely ignore all injuries except fatal ones, and fatal injuries will be weakened to the point where they can be healed - it can even allow you to remain young, cute, pretty and beautiful forever, and keep you a beautiful girl forever."
King Arthur's scabbard.
Strictly speaking, Natsukawa Tora once owned two [scabbards], one of which was the scabbard held by Altria Pendragon, and the other was the scabbard held by Arthur Pendragon.
He had returned the scabbard of Altria to her a long time ago.
Now the scabbard he gave to Kiana came from Arthur, but also from himself.
But calling it a scabbard is actually not quite accurate. Unlike the scabbard that exists independently of Altria, Xiachuanhu's scabbard is actually one of the abilities of the holy sword itself. The scabbard symbolizes immortality and resilience, which are part of the ability of the Holy Sword of the Stars.
This time, Xiachuanhu separated part of his own abilities and gave it to Kiana.
Of course, as he said, it was an ability that he could not use. He was a spirit that could become a UO level spirit on Earth. Even if he was cut into pieces by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception 17, he could still be resurrected. His immortality was extremely strong, and the immortality of the holy sword was originally prepared on the premise that the user was a human.
"Brother, is this gift a little too——"
"Don't refuse."
Natsukawa Tora interrupted Kiana.
"Just like every parent hopes their children grow up healthy, I am not your father, but I am your brother. It is natural for a brother to want to protect his sister. So just accept this gift with peace of mind."
"If you don't accept it, and something goes wrong someday, I will go from being a hero who saves the world to a demon king who destroys the world."
Threat!
The threat of Hongguoguo!
Feeling the heavy scabbard in her hand, Kiana took a deep breath and said, "I know. I will cherish this gift, brother! Likewise, I will try not to use this gift. I will take good care of myself!"
"Well, that's right."
4. Enrollment of St. Freya
Even with Xia Chuanhu's explanation, not everyone understands the value of the gift he brought out.
Perhaps in the eyes of Himeko Murata and others, Natsukawa Tora just gave Kiana a defensive destiny technique that he had recently developed, but in the eyes of those who know the subject, this gift is truly invaluable.
For example, Aozaki Orange.
Although she had just confirmed it, looking at the scabbard in Kiana's hand that had begun to gradually merge into her body, Aozaki Touko couldn't help but pinch Natsukawa Tiger's waist and whispered in a low voice.
"You are really willing to spend so much money. Isn't this better than what you did to Gray back then?"
"You can't say that. I was penniless at that time and couldn't afford anything, right? Besides, Gray herself has the Holy Lance." Xia Chuanhu said as he looked at Bianca with envy in her eyes. "Bianca, don't look at your sister pitifully. When you graduate like your sister, I will prepare a gift of the same value for you."
"Ah... Isn't this a bit... Bro, how about you lower your standards?"
Bianca scratched her head a little embarrassedly.
If we were to ask who among the people present today had the most complicated emotions, it would probably be Bianca.
After all, the biggest protagonist today is her sister, so she, as the younger sister, is bound to be compared - of course, everyone present knows about this kind of thing and won't say anything nonsense, but if you really evaluate it objectively from the factual perspective.
Bianca is really not as good as her sister Kiana.
By the time the two of them graduated from the preparatory class and officially started to attend the Valkyrie Training Center courses, there was not much difference between the two. Kiana was only a little ahead in the basics of Kaslana's spear fighting that Siegfried taught her, while Bianca was slightly better in the control of Honkai energy because she was originally a Herrscher.
But in recent years, Kiana's progress has been amazing.
She got full marks in all subjects of the Fate Fighting Technique course that Ragnar was in charge of, and she even reached the level of sparring with Ragnar and Siegfried in the Valkyrie Standard Fighting Technique and Kaslana Spear Fighting Technique. Except for some shortcomings in experience, she is almost at the level of an A-level Valkyrie.
On the other hand, Kiana has also reached a considerable level in learning and using the Fate Technique. This is probably due to the power of the Shaniyat stigmata, which is a rather contradictory stigmata that has the ability to strengthen the user's control over Honkai energy and weaken Honkai energy.
Every member of the Shanyatiat family will exhibit one of these two characteristics. The former makes them suitable to be warriors, while the latter makes them suitable to be doctors.
People like Kiana and Anna who are present here are the former.
Excellent combat skills, high-level use of techniques - these two combined have allowed Kiana to become a special A-class Valkyrie at the age of 14. Now, as long as she completes a few tasks, becoming an A-class Valkyrie will be a foregone conclusion.
