Collapse, I save everything alone

Although it's not that there aren't any, but in her impression, the only one who can use such a huge weapon as a sickle with ease is Rita.

The white-haired girl waved at Xier and said:

"Come on, Xier, let me see your level."

"Good... good!"

Xier nervously clenched the sickle in her hand, took a deep breath, and quickly dragged the sickle towards Theresa.

——And the result was naturally no surprise. Within twenty seconds, she was defeated by Theresa.

She really wasn't that good at fighting.

"To be honest, it's a bit difficult for you to use a sickle."

The speed of defeating Xier was a little too fast. Her skills in using the sickle were obviously not very proficient.

Theresa commented:

"According to Seele's current level, you are probably about the same level as Bronya and the others when they first entered school, a B-rank Valkyrie."

As for Kiana and Bronya today, they have definitely made progress, but they are still a little short of becoming A-rank Valkyries.

And now it's just actual combat training. If you want to truly improve the level of the Valkyrie, you have to wait until the Valkyrie level test in a while.

"Well, I haven't seen Rita much since the collapse of Changkong City. When she comes to Saint Freya next time, you can ask her to teach you how to use the sickle."

Theresa said.

Well, the maid had taken care of her for quite some time, and although it was a little difficult to deal with in some aspects, she would probably be happy to teach other Valkyries.

"Okay... okay."

Xier was pulled up from the ground by her and returned to the spectator seat.

If another personality inside Xier came out, the result might be very different.

But at this stage, Xier's other self does not want to appear in the outside world unless necessary, and the fewer people know about her existence, the better.

……

The next two people are the highlight.

The previous three people were unable to make Theresa use the power of the Key of God, and she was easily defeated simply by relying on the physical qualities of the S-class Valkyrie.

But as for Mei and Mingyu, it cannot be dealt with so easily.

While Theresa was thinking, she looked at Mei who had already arrived at the training ground.

The purple-haired girl still chose the katana as her weapon - apart from this weapon, she had no intention of using any other weapons.

Theresa asked:

"Mei, how much of the Herrscher's power can you use now?"

As the host of the Herrscher of Thunder, there is a power in her body that can destroy a city or even more areas.

Researchers from the Far East branch once strongly requested that a bomb that could detect Honkai energy be implanted in her body to prevent her from becoming a Herrscher again, but she ultimately did not adopt this plan and instead gave Mei enough freedom.

At least, from the time Mei entered school until now, she has not carried out any destruction as the Herrscher of Thunder, so the opinions of that group of researchers were suppressed by her.

But if that's all, it's not enough.

The goal for the future is to allow the power of the Herrscher to be used by mankind.

Both she and her grandfather Otto are exploring this aspect.

——Over the past decade, Otto has been recruiting various Valkyries with potential to conduct fusion experiments with the Herrscher Gem, hoping that they can master the power of the Herrscher with the body of a Valkyrie.

And if it succeeds, Destiny will be able to have many more S-class Valkyries out of thin air, or even surpass the combat power of S-class Valkyries, which will be of considerable benefit to the cause of fighting against Honkai.

Therefore, a few years ago, she recommended her most proud student Wendy to participate in the Desire Gem implantation experiment.

However, Wendy was unable to control the power of the Desire Gem, and the crystallization caused her legs to become paralyzed. Currently, she can only be cared for as a patient in the Oceania branch.

So far, no Valkyrie within the Destiny has been able to successfully merge with the Herrscher core.

Of course, Otto has not given up exploring this area, but after Theresa took Mei in, she hoped that she could control her own Herrscher power.

A natural Herrscher, eliminating the need to attempt fusion with the Herrscher core.

“…I can now control it a little bit.”

Mei said this as she got into position.

Perhaps because she was inspired by Mingyu, she had been training to coordinate with her Herrscher personality and mobilize the power of the Herrscher to fight.

Although not all of it, she can now mobilize a small part of the power of the Herrscher of Thunder on her own.

Roaring lightning wrapped around the girl's body. At the same time, the sky seemed to darken, and dark clouds gathered over the sky above St. Freya Academy.

This is the vision that the power of the Herrscher can trigger, instinctively creating a favorable combat environment for oneself.

Facing Mei's rising momentum, Theresa's expression was no longer as relaxed as before, but much more solemn.

She turned around and took out a spiritual spear from the unfolded cross, ready for battle.

"bring it on."

……

Although Mei had made great progress, she was ultimately defeated by Theresa who activated the Oath of Judas.

The golden chains wrapped around the girl's delicate body, and the [restraint force] attached to them made Mei feel weak all over and unable to use any strength.

The Divine Key against Honkai Attack is still very effective even against Mei who has activated some of her Herrscher's power.

The family swordsmanship that she has practiced since childhood, coupled with the improvement brought by a small part of the Herrscher's power, has made Mei more than just a B-class Valkyrie.

At least it is already at the A-level... Of course, if she were to fully unleash the power of the Herrscher of Thunder, even the S-level wouldn't be enough.

But at this stage, relying solely on herself, Mei can only reach this level.

Next, without even a moment of mourning for Mei's defeat, the next person to arrive at the battlefield was - Mingyu!

"Mingyu, I was the one who saved you from entering the academy despite all the opposition, so please don't let me down."

Looking at Mingyu with nothing in her hand, the white-haired girl thought for a moment and simply put the spirit spear back into the cross.

Empty hands against empty hands, that's only fair.

"I'll try my best."

Mingyu waved his hand.

Although both of them harness electromagnetic force, the way he and Mei use it is slightly different.

Mei is used to using lightning in combination with Hokushin Ittoryu to suppress with swordsmanship, but he is not so good at using the katana. After learning projection magic, he rarely uses swordsmanship in combat.

Now that I have been fighting with Immortal Fu Hua for such a long time, it is better to use martial arts to deal with Theresa.

Soon, she was engaged in close combat with Mingyu.

——She has great strength, not ordinary strength.

Although they both possess the extraordinary power of the Kaslana clan, it is obvious that Kiana is now far inferior to the battle-hardened Theresa.

Although she had been loved and cared for by Otto most of the time in her nearly fifty years of life, she was still a very good fighter in terms of combat. After all, she was a genius who could defeat an emperor-level Honkai beast in her debut battle.

Despite this, Theresa could only barely gain the upper hand in the bare-handed combat with Mingyu. Of course, she was basically the attacking party, and Mingyu could only passively defend.

——For some reason, she always felt that Mingyu seemed to be quite familiar with her fighting style and could always skillfully block her surprise attacks and resolve her attacks.

How strange...

What she didn't know was that the boy in front of her had already replayed the battle between her and the girls countless times by going back in time.

Especially the battle part with Mei, which I watched and analyzed carefully many times.

Even the battle that is currently taking place is not the first time it has happened.

Relying on the accumulation of experience over and over again, he was able to barely defend against Theresa's attack.

But Theresa finally found an opportunity, clenched her fist with one hand, and hit him in the body when he was careless.

Perhaps because it was so rare for her to succeed, she forgot to hold back her strength in this punch and instead used 90% of her force.

Mingyu's figure was also knocked straight into the wall of the training ground, creating a lot of smoke and dust.

Theresa instinctively wanted to go forward to check on Mingyu and see if he was injured, but the touch just now made her confused.

"…Strange, why does it feel like I didn't hit the target?"

She retracted her little pink fist and looked at her palm with some confusion.

I clearly did knock Mingyu away just now, but I didn't feel like my hand hit his body at all.

After the smoke cleared, Mingyu stood up unharmed.

——Just now, he deliberately took Theresa's almost full-strength punch in order to test the defensive effect of [No Bottom Line Technique].

The result did satisfy him. If he hadn't deliberately controlled himself, Theresa wouldn't even have been able to knock him away.

It seems that physical attacks can indeed be avoided through the [Unlimited Technique], so... what about Judas' attacks?

Since close combat was ineffective, Theresa also began to attack him in coordination with Judas's Oath.

Golden chains were flying all over the sky, and coupled with her nimble figure, Mingyu's defensive pressure was much greater.

In order to conduct a test, he deliberately slowed down his pace, giving Theresa the opportunity to bring a chain close to his body, trying to restrain him.

The golden chain attacked at lightning speed, but before reaching Mingyu's arm, its speed suddenly slowed down.

Even so, unlike Theresa's fist attack that couldn't reach him, this chain was still advancing slowly. As long as it was given some time, it would probably be able to break through his spatial defense.

Apparently, an attack that carries with it the restraining power to neutralize all forms of energy can offset the defensive effect of [Unlimited Spell] to a certain extent.

Mingyu understood.

After getting the test results, he used time reversal to erase the present when he performed the [Unlimited Technique] and returned to the past a few minutes ago.

He didn't want to reveal here that he had other abilities besides controlling electromagnetic force, whether it was [Projection Magic] or [Unlimited Spell].

So, it’s better to keep a low profile.

Back to a moment ago, he chose a less painful method to be knocked away by the girl, ending his battle with Theresa.

..............................

evening.

After the actual combat training, Theresa, Fu Hua, Ji Zi and others also gathered in Ming Yu and Kiana's dormitory.

With a few more people, the dining table became a lot more lively.

"Is the squad leader going out on a mission?"

Bronya had already heard about this from Mingyu.

"Well, I've packed and prepared everything. I'll leave tomorrow."

Fu Hua nodded.

"Fu Hua, what is the mission?"

Theresa asked curiously.

Because the task was assigned to Fu Hua directly from the headquarters, she, the principal of the Far East branch, was not clear about the details of the task.

"Nothing, just a simple investigation mission."

Fu Hua said.

"Great, squad leader, remember to bring some local specialties back."

Kiana, who was gnawing on a fried chicken leg, still hadn't forgotten the delicacies from other places.

In response, the gray-haired woman just smiled slightly, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

She pushed up her glasses and said:

"You don't need me to help you bring the local specialties, Kiana. You can eat them yourself this time."

Her eyes naturally focused on Kiana.
