Speedrun Collapse!

Kiana before didn't realize these details.

But now, when she thinks back on what she did in the past...

Ah, no wonder the senior looked at me strangely.

No wonder he got together with the top student class monitor.

In the eyes of my seniors, I guess I have become a useless person who relies on his talent to live a life of idleness and wait for death.

Kiana, oh Kiana, how could you have fallen to this level!

A month ago, you clearly didn't think so, but now - you are so lazy that you have brought shame to the Kaslana family!

"Well, seeing you like this, I have made my decision."

Seeing Kiana's tearful expression, Ji Zi coughed twice, and her eyes and expression suddenly became extremely serious.

"Kiana Kaslana, I have good news and bad news for you."

"Eh? This, this, this..."

Looking at Ji Zi's extremely serious expression at this moment, Kiana, who wanted to cry but had no tears, felt even more panicked.

After completing the written test, she had checked her answers with Yuno and confirmed that her score was correct.

But under Ji Zi's gaze, Kiana suddenly felt that she might have filled in the answer sheet incorrectly or forgot to write her name, so there was something wrong with the written test score.

"The good news is that your results this time are unexpectedly good. Not only did you pass the written test, but your practical results were also excellent. But..."

After seeing a relieved smile on Kiana's face, Himeko immediately poured cold water on Kiana.

"In my personal opinion, you are not suitable for this mission to Shenzhou Jiuyou."

"Why!"

Kiana, who had just felt relieved, now looked like a cat with its fur standing on end, glaring at Himeko in dissatisfaction.

"Bishop Otto sent us on this mission! And you also said that there is no problem with my grades!"

"Aunt Jizi! I clearly meet the requirements, why don't you let me participate in this mission!"

"It's very simple, because of your current state."

Looking at the annoyed Kiana, Jizi restrained her serious expression and asked Kiana nonchalantly.

"Have you counted how many times your facial expression has changed since I came in?"

"...What's going on?"

"Angry, uneasy, lost, irritated... In the few minutes that I was in your room, I saw that your emotions were constantly changing."

At this moment, Ji Zi looked directly at the girl in front of her and suddenly sighed slightly.

"Kiana, a week ago, I said something to you."

"You must remember that as warriors in the future, you will act together with other comrades of Tianming."

"At that time, I hoped that Lin Yu could listen to this sentence and not rush too far forward when participating in the mission. But now, I think - you also need to keep this sentence in mind."

"Of course I won't do anything rash!"

Kiana clearly felt that she had done nothing wrong, but under Ji Zi's direct gaze, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Of course I believe that you won't do anything wrong, after all..."

"——You idiot, although you sleep in class, make trouble after class, don't do your homework, and like to skip classes, there is nothing wrong with your original intention."

"I really don't know whether you are praising me or insulting me..."

"Of course I am praising you, because there are insulting words coming later."

!Q@裙≤２&*8∵６∪⑨△5*9∮三<>O％７∠At this time, Ji Zi, who was looking at Kiana, suddenly became a little lower in voice.

"But, Kiana, you have to understand one thing. Sometimes you won't harm others just because you don't want to."

"I can clearly sense that your mood is very unstable. No matter what the reason is, your mood changes too frequently."

"To put it bluntly, a Valkyrie is a warrior who fights against Honkai. For a warrior, a calm heart is often even more important than his own combat strength."

"If you continue to maintain this unpredictable state of emotions, then think about it - if your emotions suddenly change on the battlefield and affect the people around you, what will happen to the situation?"

"This...this..."

At this time, Kiana, in response to Ji Zi's question, hung her head helplessly and answered in a low voice.

"I have no idea."

"No, you know it very well. On the battlefield, your every move will definitely affect other comrades around you."

After saying this very disrespectfully, Himeko spoke directly to Kiana.

"I heard from Theresa that you hunted Honkai beasts with your father in the past. But now it seems that the main reason you can hunt Honkai beasts is that your father protected you too well."

"But now, you are no longer a little girl under the protection of your father. As a soldier, you must be responsible for yourself, and even more so for your comrades and the people behind you who need your protection."

Can't refute.

Now, Kiana, listening to what Ji Zi said to her, really couldn't refute these very reasonable sermons.

Moreover, she knew very well in her heart that the problem this time was indeed with her.

As a result, a month later, I am still the same as when I was in Changkong City.

A month ago, when the senior went to deal with the third collapse, I became a burden to him in his progress.

And a month later, when he was about to go to the Netherworld, I still couldn't help him.

Kiana Kaslana, what have you been doing this month?

After realizing that she had not become stronger objectively, Kiana's heart was immediately filled with regret.

However, after seeing Kiana revealing a look of regret at this moment, Mei's eyes narrowed and she immediately spoke to Himeko.

"But Mr. Himeko, I think Kiana should still participate in this mission."

"Oh? Can you tell me your reasons?"

Seeing the serious look on Mei's face, Himeko smiled and turned to look at Kiana.

"If your reasons can convince me, then I am willing to withdraw my previous order."

"It's simple, because I think Kiana's strength is indispensable to our team."

At this moment, Mei's brain was thinking rapidly while she continued to speak to Himeko.

"In our team, in addition to me who is responsible for close-range weapons combat, there are Fu Hua and Lin Yu who are responsible for zero-distance combat, Yuno who is responsible for controlling the enemy nearby, and Bronya who is responsible for long-range ranged attacks and intelligence analysis."

"But if Qiyana, who is responsible for mid-range roaming and support, is unable to participate in the mission, then when the melee troops are entangled by the enemy, the ranged troops may be ambushed by the enemy."

"If Kiana, who is responsible for support, is not here at this time, it may lead to an irreversible outcome."

After listening to Mei's reasons, Himeko spoke to the two of them calmly.

"To be honest, as Valkyries and Knights, you should be prepared for all kinds of situations."

"And this reason, Mei, you know very well that this reason itself is very far-fetched. But..."

After taking a look at Kiana, Jizi said helplessly.

"Since Miss Kiana is about to cry, I will withdraw this order."

"Teacher Jizi! You are so kind!"

"Stop! Stop wiping your tears and snot on me!"

Looking at Kiana flying towards her, Himeko felt that she should have left her in the academy.

But to put it bluntly, what Ji Zi said just now was just to scare Kiana.

This was a well-known mission issued by Bishop Otto himself. Not to mention her, even Theresa, the branch chief, had no authority to stop this mission.

They actually let a group of D-class soldiers go onto the battlefield... Even if their qualities are indeed very good, no matter how strong their qualities are, they are still recruits who have never had actual combat experience.

Moreover, among the members of this team, Lin Yu is a crazy person targeting Honkai when fighting, Mei and Yuno are Herrscher themselves, and they have to suppress their Herrscher personality during the battle. As Kiana just said, their emotions change too frequently, and the whole person is in an unstable state no matter how strong he is.

In other words, in the entire team, the only people I can truly trust are the reliable Fu Hua and the calm Bronya.

What is Bishop Otto's purpose in letting such a disorganized team carry out such a dangerous mission?

Even if he was paving the way for the descendants of Kaslana's family and assigning Kiana a special task to prevent her from being promoted too quickly, this task still makes me feel very strange.

Moreover, I have looked up information about Jiuyou, and the legendary Judgment-level Honkai Beast Chiyou was sealed in that place.

Chi You is a Honkai beast that can strengthen itself by devouring everything nearby. If this thing is not handled properly and is released, then...

——The first one to be swallowed up was the Hyperion battleship of our Far East Branch.

Thinking of this, I felt even more uneasy about letting a group of new recruits participate in this mission.

It is better not to use HSN serum for the time being.

For this mission, I was ready to connect to the Nexus system at any time.

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

a few days later

After everyone was transported to the area near Shenzhou Jiuyou, Fu Hua looked at the comrades in front of him and spoke to everyone very seriously.

"Everyone, although Major Himeko has already told you the precautions for participating in the battle, this mission is very important. I hope you can listen to me and repeat the key points again."

After glancing at everyone, Fu Hua was surprised to find that even Kiana, who was usually very lively, was looking at her very seriously.

This is strange, has Kiana really changed her personality today?

But never mind, no matter what the reason was, it was a good thing that she was obedient.

After making sure that everyone's attention was focused on her, Fu Hua took a deep breath and looked at Yuno and Mei first.

"Yuno, Mei, you are well aware that your identities and characteristics mean that I must treat you with caution."

"After entering Jiuyou, I will be responsible for keeping an eye on Mei, and Yuno will be handed over to Lieutenant Lin Yu. The two of you, if you sense that the Herrscher personality in your body is trying to cause trouble and you can't suppress it, you must notify us immediately."

After pushing her glasses slightly, Fu Hua continued to speak to the two of them.

"You may think this is inhumane, but believe me, it is good for everyone."

"I have no objection."

Faced with Fu Hua's defensive behavior, Yuno recalled that day and clenched her fists.

Because of excessive force, Yuno's nails even pierced into the skin, causing a few drops of blood to flow from her hands.

"Rather, I hope Senior Lin Yu will keep a close eye on me. If the situation is not right, don't even think about knocking me out - it doesn't matter if you even kill me."

"It doesn't have to be so extreme."

Lin Yu, who was beside Yuno, looked at Yuno's slightly ferocious expression and patted Yuno's shoulder gently.

"Don't worry. If your Herrscher personality gets ready to cause trouble, I'll beat you half to death first."

No, no, no, that's very extreme of you.

Looking at Lin Yu's relaxed expression at this time, Kiana couldn't imagine that these words just came from Lin Yu's mouth.

"I... may not be as determined as Yuno, but if anything goes wrong for me, please don't hold back."

After recalling the nightmare-like experience, Mei looked at Fu Hua and Lin Yu and pleaded very seriously.

"Please, both of you, don't hold back when the time comes."

"Well, just be mentally prepared."

Looking at the two people in front of her, Fu Hua couldn't help but sigh that these two girls who had been tortured by the Herrscher Core for a long time were indeed much stronger than the average rookie Valkyrie in terms of belief and will.

"However, this time, the martial artists from Shenzhou also brought back some information after entering Jiuyou - Bronya."

At Fu Hua's signal, Bronya, who was in charge of intelligence management and analysis, tapped her fingers in the air a few times, and displayed the intelligence screen in front of everyone.

"The martial artists in charge of protecting Shenzhou have entered Jiuyou with testing equipment many times and tested the concentration of Honkai energy here."

"And they concluded that the deeper you go into the Nine Netherworld, the higher the concentration of Honkai energy becomes. Later on, the concentration of Honkai energy even reached a point where martial artists who had undergone the initial 'anti-death warrior transformation' would experience discomfort."

"And the headquarters combined the intelligence collected by Shenzhou and analyzed the result. If Mei and Yuno enter the Nine Netherworld, there is a high probability that the Herrscher Core will be activated."

After saying these words, everyone except Lin Yu had a question at this time.

And the curious baby Kiana, who was the most confused about the atmosphere among the crowd, expressed the doubts in everyone's minds in a very puzzled manner.
