Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

Anna looked up and glared at the captain, but Jier immediately turned his face and glared back, scolding him harshly.

"But not by actively seeking death like you did!"

Thinking of Anna's previous impulsive and reckless dangerous behavior, Jie Er simply brought up the matter without caring about her face.

"You are right, Anna Shaniat, the eldest daughter of a distinguished family! Although you have passed the A-rank Valkyrie test, you are not a qualified Valkyrie!"

Anna turned pale.

………………

Anna Shaniat grew up at the Savior Headquarters from birth, receiving the most orthodox Valkyrie education since childhood. She was also exposed to the heroic deeds of countless outstanding predecessors and even peers at the headquarters. All of this planted the seeds of glory and mission in her heart, making her full of yearning for the identity of "Valkyrie". She never had any complaints when undergoing strict training from the instructors.

Since she became an A-rank Valkyrie as she wished and joined the Snow Lotus Team, her mood has plummeted like she was on a bungee jumping machine.

Although the incident happened a long time ago and no one mentioned it anymore, it was like a thorn in Anna's heart, causing her to toss and turn in the night and even wake up in the middle of her dreams.

The gap between reality and ideal was so huge that she lost her composure in an instant.

She didn't even dare to contact her friends at headquarters, for fear that they would see her embarrassment and anxiety and would worry about her.

Even so, she is trying hard to adapt to the life here, to the hot, humid and rainy climate, to shoulder her responsibilities as the vice-captain, and to study hard to become a real and qualified A-level Valkyrie.

But the life here was completely different from what she had imagined and what she had heard from the stories of her predecessors.

"Have we completed our mission?"

After completing an urgent mission, Anna avoided the other team members who were celebrating the team's departure and found a secluded corner to question Captain Jier.

"Well, our team's mission has been completed. The local government has officially taken over the work from now on. Other rescue teams will arrive later, just like the previous times. There is no need for Tianming to intervene further."

Captain Jier seemed to understand what Anna was thinking.

"Don't worry, the collapse here has been resolved, and the remaining energy dissipated quickly. We don't need to do anything more."

"...But we clearly didn't do anything. All the enemies were defeated by Youlan Dell."

Anna has had enough of this kind of life.

"We didn't actually do any work, did we?"

It's always like this. Suddenly, they receive an alert about a collapse somewhere. The Snow Lotus Team is dispatched urgently, arrives at the disaster site by transport plane, and stays on the spot. They watch helplessly as a blue meteor falls from the sky, eliminates more than 80% of the threats, and then turns into a meteor and flies away.

All they really did was to clean up the remaining enemies after Youlan Dell left, search for possible survivors, and then hand over the disaster site to the local government to show them that "Destiny has fulfilled its duties very well" -

This is a fact that has basically nothing to do with them.

When they return to their base, they usually receive a substantial bonus from the government...

"Is this the job of a Valkyrie?"

Anna asked in confusion, and even felt a suppressed anger deep in her heart. She could not feel any sense of value in such a "mission", and such a life made her feel extremely absurd.

Over and over again, every time it happened, Anna felt like she had had enough.

Is this what they call the elite Valkyrie Squad?

"Cooperate with Lord Youlan Dale to complete the new armor experiment mission. This is the most important order issued by the Bishop himself."

Jier also felt that her life had been a mess recently, but she didn't hate it. She took Anna's hand and walked towards the transport plane, smiling and comforting her.

"At least the disaster was properly resolved, and the team members are not in any danger, which is a good thing."

The rest of the team members were already waiting on the plane. When they saw Anna and the other two walking towards them, they waved happily, as if to celebrate the successful completion of the mission, or to celebrate the safe return of everyone.

"..."

Anna looked at the relaxed expressions of her teammates and thought that maybe she was being too serious.

I'm still not good enough. Anna sighed, and couldn't help but think of the golden-haired figure that just fell to the ground like a meteor.

Why is Yulande always so dazzling?

I really want to talk to her...

Anna thought a little lonely, if it was Yulandel who was here at this moment, what would she do?

I have never felt the gap between myself and Orchiddale so clearly and deeply as I do now. That once familiar figure now seems so far away.

So Anna continued to endure this life that felt like a year every day.

Until one day, the thorn in her heart was picked again, and the anger and dissatisfaction suppressed in Anna's heart were detonated all at once -

"Obituary? What obituary? Why is there an obituary? Our team members are all intact, how could an obituary be sent here?"

Anna, who was sweating profusely in the training room, heard a beep on the terminal. She clicked on it and saw a piece of news that puzzled her.

She wiped her sweat with a towel as she walked out of the training room, flipping through the obituary with confusion. The girl in the photo looked incredibly sweet. Hmm, I felt like I'd seen her somewhere before.

What a pity. Anna felt sorry for the death of a comrade and didn't think much about it.

It was not until she saw the detailed information that her expression froze and she remembered what she had seen on the day she came to report, things that she had deliberately forgotten.

"team leader?"

Anna rushed to the room where Jier was and saw her opening the oven and taking out the freshly baked cookies.

"Ah, Anna, you're here? Come and try some freshly baked cookies."

Jier greeted Anna warmly.

"No need..."

Anna and Jier share the same hobby and usually get together to research new pastry recipes, but today she is not in the mood.

"Did you receive..."

Anna swallowed the remaining words. She knew that her former comrades who had fought side by side with her would be more painful and uncomfortable with this news than she had never met.

"Yes, I received it."

Unexpectedly, Jie Er just froze for a moment, and then said calmly,

"The mortality rate at the Third Research Institute... is well known within Tianming, so I had anticipated this."

Although his tone was calm, Jier's eyes were fixed on the desk in the other room. There was a small photo on the desk. His eyes were distracted and he was muttering to himself.

"Isn't this considered a relief for her?"

"Liberation? Do you know what you are talking about? That's our comrade!"

Anna said angrily. The A-level Valkyrie had excellent hearing and heard her voice clearly.

Her anger was not directed at the captain, but she didn't know what she was angry about, but she was really angry.

Angry and angry, she realized that she was feeling sorry for them!

"Sacrifice and death are inevitable. As a Valkyrie, you should sacrifice for your destiny and for the future of mankind. Isn't this just as it should be?"

Jier shook his head, collected his thoughts, reached out and picked up a cookie and handed it to Anna, saying with a smile,

"Come, try it, it's sugar-free and won't make you fat."

Anna really wanted to slap her and make the biscuits fall to the ground, but her long-term self-control made her choose to restrain herself. The team members would find out!

After calming down, she said in a trembling voice,

"Captain, don't you feel sad?"

Jie Er retracted his arm, put the biscuits back on the plate with some regret, and said in a very normal tone,

"Maybe I'll be next. It's better to save my energy for other things."

"You...are unreasonable!"

Anna slammed the door and left angrily.

"..."

The room was silent for a moment. Jie Er said nothing. She just picked up a biscuit from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth, nibbling it in small bites while muttering to herself with a puzzled tone.

"Really? It tastes better with some sugar, so why do you prefer sugar-free?"

"It's incomprehensible that a Valkyrie would be afraid of being fat..."

………………

Soon, the members of the Snow Lotus team noticed that the atmosphere between the two captains was a bit awkward.

"Captain, Vice Captain, you..."

"It's okay, the mission is important, let's go."

Jier smiled and said nonchalantly that he had just received another order to suppress a Honkai incident in Mindanao.

Everyone boarded the transport plane and arrived at the site of the Honkai disaster. Under the cover of the dark and cloudy night, the small town with a population of only 100,000 was now engulfed in flames. Countless Honkai monsters were roaming and wreaking havoc in the streets. The dead soldiers who had just crawled up from the ground staggered into the sea of fire, and then walked out of the sea of fire covered in flames. As they walked, they fell to the ground and gradually died.

Amidst the countless shrill and strange cries, the screams of the surviving humans were too small and faint, and were drowned out and difficult to hear.

"Follow the plan, hold the intersection, wait... Damn it, stop her!"

Jier was arranging the tasks step by step, when he suddenly saw Anna looking at the life detector, saying "there are traces of life of survivors" and then jumped out of the transport plane without saying anything. Jier was furious when he couldn't stop her.

"Damn it, change of plan!"

On the other hand, Anna knew that her behavior was too impulsive, a violation of discipline, and even a suicidal act that put herself in danger.

But she didn't care, she had had enough!

The grievances and frustrations she had felt all along made her feel as if she was suffocating.

Now, she just wants to vent and fight!

I just want to save those poor innocent lives and regain the glory of being a Valkyrie!

Therefore, just like the Orchid Dell that we had seen before, it broke through the sky and fell from the sky!

This feeling of freedom is so comfortable...

Anna was falling in the air and thought to herself that she would open her parachute when she was about to approach the ground. Her falling momentum slowed down and the heat from the sea of fire under her feet made her feel like her hair was about to be singed.

So impulsive...

Anna laughed at herself, but it was too late to regret.

He lowered his head to check his position, then glanced at the detector on his body. He reached out to cut off the parachute, pulled out the Valkyrie Greatsword from behind him, and used the potential energy of the fall to slash an innocent passing Tank-class Honkai Beast into pieces with one blow.

"Not as good as the Knight's Lance..."

Anna spat out the ashes in her mouth, quickly turned over and stood up, took out her double guns and killed several flying-type Honkai beasts in rapid succession, then put away her double guns, drew out her sharp blade and broke out of the encirclement.

As an elite Valkyrie, being proficient in multiple weapons is just a basic quality.

Fight, fight!

This is what a Valkyrie should be like, destroying Honkai, eliminating enemies, and protecting humanity, isn't it?

We are not worthless consumables!

We are not some dispensable foil!

Anna vented her anger, and all the warriors and Honkai beasts in front of her were knocked down and torn to pieces by her blade and double guns.

Fight, vent, release...

The anger gradually subsided, but the sadness in my heart became more intense——

Who are we, anyway?

Anna, with disheveled hair and a dirty face, cried silently.

"anyone there?"

Anna kicked open a half-open door and shouted inside, saying that the life detector had been damaged in the previous battle.
