Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

"Well, we'll talk later..."

Anna made an "OK" gesture to the two of them and trotted towards her home. As she ran, her long legs wrapped in white silk stockings, which were originally slender and delicate, became more powerful as she exerted force. The slightly taut muscles and the slightly bony knees together outlined the youthful vitality of a girl.

"Gwen, how was your rest?"

Anna left, and Yulandel also asked about Gwyn's situation -

Although Yulandel estimated that Gwyn should have recovered basic mobility, he still asked about Gwyn's condition to avoid making arbitrary mistakes again.

"Well, we can move now."

Gwen said, slowly standing up, stretching his limbs that were aching, and couldn't help but sigh.

"There is still a long way to go..."

"Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither can your body be trained in a day. Keep working hard..."

Seeing that Gwyn showed no sign of slacking off, but was full of anticipation for the future, Youlan Dale once again reflected on his previous arrogant thoughts. With a faint smile on his face, he chuckled and said,

"Let's go back and buy some breakfast on the way..."

You're so tired from training this morning, so you don't need to cook."

"If you don't mind continuing to eat noodles, I can do that."

Gwen, who was about to agree, suddenly thought of something and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Youlan Dell instantly recalled the noodles she had eaten last night. Her face wrinkled as she said seriously:

"Although noodles are indeed a common staple food, people still need to pay attention to balanced nutrition, especially if you are still growing and have started training. It is not advisable to eat noodles for all three meals."

"Then please, Miss Youlan Dell, buy me some delicious and nutritionally balanced breakfast."

Gwyn, who was just thinking of a joke, didn't insist and agreed readily.

"Well, leave it to me!"

When Yulandel heard that Gwyn no longer insisted on eating noodles, he breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest confidently.

With that, Yulandel took Gwyn to look for breakfast.

On the other side, Anna, who was jogging home, was not as relaxed as the other two.

Unlike Orlandel, who only had daily training sessions today, and Gwyn, who was waiting for the instructor to come and guide her, Anna, who had a mission, needed to prepare in advance and arrive at the mission location early.

Although the overall time was still ample, Anna still sped up in order to avoid the possibility of being late in front of her juniors.

After returning home, Anna had a simple breakfast, took a shower, changed into her uniform, and put on some light makeup. Then she began to recall her memories of her early military service and think about how she should teach the new recruits.

Time passed bit by bit as "Senior Anna" was preparing, and soon it was the departure time that Anna set for herself.

"call……"

Exhaling lightly, Anna looked at herself in the mirror. She was pure, beautiful, and serious. She nodded slightly and encouraged herself in her heart.

"Come on, Anna, you can do it!"

Although Anna is not lacking in confidence as a rising star of the new generation, she has been a student for so many years and it is her first time to be an instructor, so she is inevitably a little nervous.

Fortunately, whether as a Valkyrie or as the eldest daughter raised by the Shaniyat family since childhood, Anna has received certain psychological education and is able to make certain self-adjustments.

Soon, Anna, who had tried to calm down, followed the mission instructions and arrived at the target location.

However, looking at the familiar building next to her, Anna blinked her beautiful pink eyes slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Isn't this the Yulan Dell family and the Rita family?

This newcomer was actually assigned here..."

Looking at the Yulandale family and the Rita family, whom she had visited several times, Anna couldn't help but become more curious about the newcomers she was going to teach.

However, at this moment, Anna had not yet associated the mysterious newcomer with Gwen—

Given Gwyn's physical fitness, it was difficult for Anna to regard him as a reserve combatant who was about to receive training.

Moreover...there haven't been any male figures in the Destiny battle sequence for several years.

At least, in the several classes that Anna had come into contact with, there were no men.

"Anna?"

Just as Anna was waiting by the roadside for the newcomer who was her mission target to appear, a familiar voice suddenly appeared, interrupting Anna who was reviewing the teaching plan in her mind.

Following the sound, Anna's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she called out the other person's name in surprise -

"Gwen?"

Chapter 22 Anna: Anna, Anna, you can't go on like this!

Looking at that completely unexpected figure, Anna forgot all about the dignity of the seniors and the strictness of the instructors. All kinds of questions instantly filled her little head.

Why did Gwen come out of my mentor's house?

Could he be my mentor?

But judging from his condition this morning, his body doesn't seem to be fit enough to be a combatant.

Could it be...his family?

It's possible, after all, resistance to Honkai energy comes from genes.

It's very likely that Gwyn has a surviving sister who will become a Valkyrie...

Thinking of this, Anna quickly calmed down, walked quickly to Gwen's side, and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Gwen."

"Well, I didn't expect that..."

Gwen looked at Anna, who had changed into the Valkyrie uniform and looked less gentle and more heroic, and said with emotion,

"The friend of a friend I met this morning will be my instructor..."

As he spoke, Gwen had already taken out his terminal from the pocket of his training uniform and showed the task information displayed on it to Anna.

The meeting time was about to arrive. Anna was the only one outside his house, which was the meeting place. Gwen knew without a doubt that Anna was his instructor.

"Eh?"

The conclusion she had just reached was instantly overturned. Anna blinked, and a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face with a gentle smile:

"Are you, Gwen, the student I want to teach?"

"I'm the only one here. Who else could it be?"

Gwen spread his hands and asked with a smile.

"Well……

Damn it, my instructor’s dignity…”

Anna, who had secretly cried out inwardly the moment she asked, let out a wail in her heart, feeling that her instructor's authority might have been shattered to the ground.

Making such a fuss, you're not even as good as a child.

Fortunately, the training she received since childhood was not in vain. Although her toes had begun to unconsciously bite the soles of her shoes, Anna still maintained a generally calm expression, completed the task handover, and confirmed that Gwyn was the new person she was going to know.

However, although she was sure that Gwen was the new person she was going to lead, Anna still made a final confirmation -

"Gwen, are you sure you want to be a frontline combatant?

Considering your physical condition, this doesn't seem to be the best option.

As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. There is more than one way to fight against the collapse. If you have enough resistance to survive the collapse, there are many things you can do. You don't have to be a frontline warrior.

Although she still felt a little bit unbelievable, as an instructor, Anna still fulfilled her duty and confirmed Gwen's determination.

If you regret it after you step onto the battlefield, you are likely to hurt others and yourself.

At the same time, Anna's words were sincere and heartfelt.

Anna's mother, Angelia Shaniat, is the best example of this. Unlike her great aunt Cecilia, a former saint, and her equally outstanding second aunt Maria, Anna's mother does not possess the talent of a warrior. Even though she was born in the Shaniat family and trained since childhood, she ultimately only barely met the standards of becoming a Valkyrie.

However, Angelia did not give up on herself, but chose another path and continued to contribute to the cause of fighting the Honkai Impact.

Facing Anna's serious yet caring gaze, and looking at her tense little face, Gwen nodded slightly:

"I am sure."

In such a disaster-ridden world, Gwyn had no choice but to choose this path, unable to do anything but pray that he would not encounter the Honkai Impact or other accidents, and live his life on thin ice.

Besides... that bastard Otto didn't even give me a chance to refuse...

With a sigh in his heart, Gwyn looked at Anna without flinching, conveying his determination to the girl in front of him.

"Okay, let's get started..."

After looking at Gwen for a moment, Anna, who did not notice any sign of hesitation, slowly nodded. The seriousness on her pretty face eased a little, and she nodded slightly, then walked away with Gwen.

Since Gwen has made his decision, Anna thought that all she could do was to help him go more smoothly.

Although Gwyn had learned a lot more about Destiny through Amber's introduction yesterday, it was still just a glimpse of the whole picture.

Today, with Anna's help, Gwyn finally understood the general system of the Valkyrie Army more intuitively and specifically.

Although it was her first time as a mentor, Anna, who had a wealth of knowledge, was well prepared and gave an introduction in an orderly manner, allowing Gwyn to receive and understand the information very smoothly.

The two men left their footprints in teaching buildings, conference rooms, operations halls, training grounds, and other places frequented by combatants.

Under the bright sunshine, the handsome boy looked at the key points recorded in the notebook and reviewed and summarized them.

The soft sunlight shining on the handsome face with soft lines adds a bit of charm.

Anna turned around and looked at Gwyn. Seeing the serious expression on his face, she felt that this young man who was much shorter than her seemed to have a different kind of charm. She couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment.

"..."

Realizing that she seemed to have stared for a bit too long, Anna quickly turned her head away to hide her embarrassment, secretly blaming herself in her heart.

"Anna, Anna, the instructor's authority has been shattered. Don't destroy the last impression of a knowledgeable and reliable senior. Don't leave little brother Gwen with only the impression of a crazy girl..."

Anna, who had no idea that Gwyn was actually older than her and was only developmentally delayed due to congenital deficiencies, felt a surge of anxiety in her heart.

After a while, Anna finally calmed down and turned around, only to see Gwen looking at her calmly.

"..."

Anna blinked and felt a little embarrassed again, but an awkward but polite smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Sorry, Gwen, I just thought of something and got distracted."

Although the smile on her face was still normal, Anna's hands behind her back were unconsciously tangled together, silently telling of the entanglement and embarrassment in her heart.

"Nothing, I just finished reviewing."

Gwen smiled and shook his head.

Just now, when Gwen was summarizing, he unconsciously used some mental techniques and naturally noticed Anna's emotional unrest.

However, after all, they were just new friends, so Gwen had no intention of trying to figure out what the girl was thinking and simply pretended not to notice.

"Hmm... After reviewing the key points, is there anything else you don't understand?"

Seeing Gwen like this, Anna didn't care whether Gwen really didn't notice her abnormality or was just trying to save face. She quickly changed the subject, but her eyes looking at Gwen became softer.

Chapter 23 Anna: Watch me train you hard!

"Not really, Anna, you are an excellent mentor."

After a brief review to make sure he hadn't missed anything, Gwen smiled, shook his head, and closed the notebook in his hand.

"It seems that Gwen is still a little genius."
