On the other hand, Bianca was just average. It's not that she failed in every subject. With Xia Chuanhu watching her 70 hours a day, Bianca's grades were acceptable. If you translate it, she got around 80 or points in each subject. She definitely couldn't be called a bad student.

But compared with Kiana, it is far worse.

Bianca knew this herself.

"If I want to catch up with my sister, I don't know how hard I will have to push myself."

"Being lazy is not a good thing, Bianca."

Kiana was the first to step forward and patted her sister on the head: "As long as you can squeeze out the time for eating snacks while doing homework, the time for daydreaming, the time for playing games, and the time for watching TV, you will definitely be able to catch up with me."

"elder sister!"

Bianca got anxious when she heard this, this was all she had for entertainment. If she couldn't even squeeze out this much time, Bianca couldn't imagine how boring her life would be!

Upon hearing this, the adults present also held their foreheads in their hands.

Bianca is actually good in every way, but she was spoiled by Xia Chuanhu when she was a child, so she has some lazy and slacking habits. But everyone has these habits to some extent, so there is really nothing you can say about her.

"It seems that Bianca still has a long way to go if she wants to catch up with Kiana." Theresa sighed, "However, like Bianca, Kiana and Anna can also graduate in the second half of the year, right? Have you decided which branch you want to go to?"

"Eh? Can I choose a branch? Lady Theresa."

Anna was a little surprised: "I remember that every Valkyrie will be automatically assigned to a branch upon graduation?"

"Generally speaking, this is the case, but each of our branch heads can also poach one or two people in advance. This is a privilege, but the branch heads are usually away and don't know much about the training situation at the headquarters." Theresa explained, "Would you like to come to our Far East branch, Anna, Bianca, and Kiana? The three of you can form a three-person team!"

Going to the Far East Branch?

Faced with Theresa's suggestion, the three little girls couldn't help but look at each other.

Although there is no explicit hierarchy, branches are not completely equal. How should I put it... It's a bit like regional discrimination, right? Like in Shenzhou [Beijing only those within the third ring road are the masters].

Tianming's main activities are in Europe, Africa, West Asia and Southeast Asia, and even further away is Oceania. In comparison, the Far East branch is a little bit "off", and there is also Shenzhou in the middle. If it weren't for the fact that the Far East branch chief is Theresa, the good granddaughter of the head of the Apokalis family and bishop, I'm afraid the branch itself would not have been established.

"Also, in the second half of the year, St. Freya's College will also accept a group of students from the Anti-Entropy Orphanage. I remember that you have some friends there, right? As the seniors of the Valkyries, you can also guide the juniors."

"Oh?"

After Theresa said this, the attention of Xiachuanhu and others was also attracted.

People from Anti-Entropy are going to enroll in St. Freya's College?

"Is this really... a long-awaited official collaboration between Destiny and Anti-Entropy? Does Otto know?"

"I have talked to Grandpa, and he reluctantly agreed, but it's hard to say what will happen next." Theresa sighed again, "Saint Freya's current enrollment is still open to various orphanages and welfare homes. The reason why Anti-Entropy got involved was that Cocolia took the initiative to find them, saying that she had several children with good qualifications, and hoped to use Saint Freya's resources to train them."

The main direction of Anti-Entropy is mecha technology. Even if there are stigma holders with good qualifications, they do not have the training level.

Maybe Cocolia hopes that the children under her charge can become successful, or maybe she wants to let the children in the orphanage start to get in touch with the outside world, so she contacted Theresa?

"there's a few?"

"For now, there are only two. After all, it's the first batch. There will probably be more in the future. I remember their names are... [Bronya Zajcek] and [Seele Freya]."

5. You got the job through connections, right?

—Bronya Zajicek

——Xi'er Fuleiya

These two people are the ones who will be enrolled in St. Freya College from Anti-Entropy in the second half of the year through Cocolia’s relationship.

Xia Chuanhu had an impression of these two names, and it was not just a sporadic impression, but a very deep impression. After all, in the past seven years, he would go to the orphanage in Cocolia from time to time and had already known every child there.

The same goes for Bronya and Seele.

But those two people were not in an orphanage in the United States, but in Siberia - to be more precise, in an orphanage near the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

After all, there are always some children who don't want to travel across the ocean to the United States. In addition, there are already quite a few children, so naturally some of them stay. This is the case with Bronya and Seele.

Xia Chuanhu didn't meet them very often, maybe only more than twenty times in seven years?

(I didn’t expect these two to go to St. Freya’s College… Is this also considered a closure of the world line?)

Just like no matter how you change history, certain things are bound to happen.

Bronya and Seele enrolled in St. Freya. Although it was a little different from what I remembered, it was indeed a sign of closure. From this point of view, it seems that it is not a bad idea to let Kiana and the others go to St. Freya.

"Thank you, Aunt! I knew that Aunt loves me the most!" Bianca hugged her little aunt directly.

Anna also nodded: "Thank you very much for your appreciation, Lady Theresa. I will discuss it with my family later."

"As for me...I will give you an answer in the near future, aunt." Kiana glanced at Xiachuanhu and Siegfried beside her, her eyes thoughtful.

"Well, you don't have to rush to give me an answer. Bianca and Anna will graduate in a few months anyway. Although Kiana will graduate earlier, she won't be very busy recently. You can take your time to think about it. I will always keep a place for you."

Theresa didn't urge her. She just wanted to take good care of her two nieces and their friends from the closest distance, and she wouldn't force it if it wasn't possible.

Anyway, with Natsukawa Tora around, nothing will happen to Bianca and Kiana.

"Alright, alright~~~ Let's stop talking about serious topics here!"

At this time, Vita suddenly stood up and raised the champagne in her hand high: "The most important thing today is indeed to celebrate! Let's put aside the serious things and celebrate Kiana's successful graduation again, right?"

"That's true."

Xia Chuanhu echoed and raised his glass of red wine.

Seeing this, the people around Kiana also stood up and raised their glasses in front of her.

"Well, one, two..."

"Congratulations on your graduation, Kiana!" ×N

Not very orderly congratulations rang out in the Xiachuan family's restaurant.

Looking at the familiar people who surrounded her, Kiana couldn't help but blush on both sides of her cheeks.

"Thank you...everyone."

————————————————————————

After that, under the leadership of Vita and Bianca, the two people who were responsible for livening up the atmosphere, the celebration banquet held for Kiana quickly turned into a simple party, and the living room of the Natsukawa family became more lively than ever before.

Even because of his own position, Xia Chuanhu, who was usually reluctant to get involved, was forced to join in.

By the time the excitement died down, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening.

Even though tomorrow is summer vacation, Himeko Murata and Touko Aozaki still have to go to work tomorrow. The same goes for Ragnar and Rita. Both of them are Valkyries who can attack at any time, so at this point in time, they have either left or gone to rest.

Bianca, Anna, Theresa and Vita, exhausted from playing, now fell asleep on the sofa.

Siegfried was simply sleeping on the floor, drunken and snoring loudly.

"It looks like the air conditioner in the living room will have to be turned on all night."

Looking at the entire situation in the living room and dining room, Xia Chuanhu sighed helplessly.

He was one of the two people who were still sober. After all, his alcohol tolerance was so good that even if he was fed with the water of life, he would not be drunk at all.

And another sober person...

"The kitchen is clean, brother."

Kiana said as she came out of the kitchen.

As the protagonist of today's banquet, she should have been the first to fall, but because she was underage and could not drink, she avoided getting drunk.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kiana. I just happened to be finishing things outside. I could have done these things by myself."

"That's so embarrassing."

Kiana smiled and said, "I have always been taken care of by you, brother. Now that I have finally graduated, I have to start helping you. I am a little sorry for Bianca and Vita, because they have invited me tonight many times."

"You~~~I wish Bianca could be half as worry-free as you are as a sister."

This is of course also a statement made in comparison with Kiana.

"I've prepared the hot water. Go take a shower first. I'll take care of these guys who are already fast asleep."

"Dad and Aunt, let me come, okay?"

"No, no, you know, I've dragged these two guys back from the training ground like this more than once or twice."

As Xia Chuanhu spoke, he skillfully summoned a gust of wind, lifted Siegfried from the floor and threw him to the corner, then threw a blanket over to him.

Although it is summer now, you will still catch a cold at night if you keep the air conditioner on.

"By the way, I've also prepared your pajamas, Kiana."

"Um...Um, brother, are you free tomorrow? Can you go somewhere with me?"

"Oh?"

Xia Chuanhu raised his eyebrows: "Sure, where to?"

"Go...come with me to get the gifts that my dad and aunt prepared for me." Kiana took out the note and ID card that Theresa had given her earlier. "I just took a look and felt that it was not a good idea to go alone... Logically, I wanted to find my dad, but he is like this..."

Looking at Siegfried who was drunk, even Kiana, his daughter, now felt a little disgusted with her father.

"That's true."

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do tomorrow, so I'll go with you."

6. The Successor of the Black Abyss White Flower

The next day.

Destiny, one of the nine main islands, Helheim.

Although it is mentioned only now, Destiny is a combination of nine floating islands, named after the nine kingdoms on the world tree in Norse mythology. Each main island has its own main areas and responsibilities.

And Heyerheim is a relatively special one among the nine main islands.

Just as Helheim in Norse mythology means the underworld, Helheim, named after this, has two important functions in destiny.

One of them is the Valkyrie Cemetery.

The underworld is where the dead should go, and the tombstones engraved with the names of every fallen Valkyrie are all placed in the Valkyrie Cemetery in Helheim - this is the Helheim that most people know.

Another important function is -

"Welcome to the real Helheim, Kiana, and my beloved God."

Helheim's [Underground].

After going to the designated location according to the address given by Theresa, Xiachuan Hu and Kiana came to the underground after being prompted by the guard, and met Otto at the entrance of the huge underground space.

"Bishop? Why are you here?"

"Haha, it's been a day, Kiana. I thought you would come a little late because of yesterday's celebration party." Otto said with a smile, "I was asked by my lovely Theresa to give you the gift that should have belonged to you. After all, although you have an ID card, you still need my authentication to truly release the gift."

"But I didn't expect that the Lord God would come along. Isn't Siegfried coming?"

"He got drunk last night and is still asleep. I'll take over." Xia Chuanhu glanced around, "I see, this is the real Helheim... In addition to the cemetery on the ground, it is also the [Secret Warehouse of Destiny]."

storehouse?

Kiana glanced at the space behind Otto with some surprise: "Is it... the [concept of treasure and earth] that you mentioned, brother?"

"Yes, you remember it very well."

Since a long, long time ago, people have determined one thing: treasure is closely related to the earth.

For example, precious metals such as gold are dug out from the ground, or financial reports are buried underground. The large number of "funerary objects" placed by many ancient kings in their tombs are the best interpretation of this concept.

Emperors were eager to take their treasures and wealth into the underworld through their tombs, fantasizing that they could enjoy themselves after death.

Today's Helheim is actually quite consistent with the concept of magic.

"You are worthy of being the most outstanding teacher and top graduate of the El-Melloi Classroom." Otto clapped his hands gently. "But what is collected here is not treasures, but many things that cannot be used. To be honest, I had the Saint 1504 Research Institute develop a lot of weapons and equipment for some personal reasons in the early years, but in the end, for my own reasons, I didn't want others to use them."

“In the end, we had no choice but to store them all here.”

"Yeah, I understand, I understand. I also have quite a few models I bought from Anti-Entropy that I haven't assembled yet, or even taken apart yet."

Xia Chuanhu nodded in agreement, and Kiana was a little embarrassed for a moment.
