Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 29 Become an A-Rank Valkyrie!

The Far East Branch is located on a scenic island. Interestingly, the Far East Branch on this island is not only a military base for fighting the Honkai, but also a special institution for training Valkyries, St. Freya Academy.

It must be said that the school's location is beautiful, nestled against the mountains and by the water; Theresa certainly knows how to pick a place.

"This place is so big..."

The inexperienced Sora and Kiana, like country bumpkins visiting the city, looked at the magnificent European-style architecture again and again.

"What a huge fountain! I've never seen such a big fountain before!"

If Qiong remembers correctly, this academy is surrounded by a moat. This isn't a Valkyrie school; it's clearly a European aristocratic girls' school built with money!

The reason it's called an all-girls school is because Qiong discovered that there isn't a men's restroom in the school building... Thumbs down!

"Auntie, is this the place you said I should study at?"

"That's right, Kiana, don't you really want to enroll?"

Theresa was quite satisfied with the school, which she had invested heavily in (mainly Otto's investment) and which embodied her and Cecilia's hopes and efforts.

The goal of St. Freya Academy is to allow aspiring Valkyries to experience the beauty of the world before becoming warriors, to understand "fighting for all that is good in the world," and ultimately to achieve that goodness. Theresa's school has always been dedicated to this principle, and what does it matter if some old fogies are unhappy about it? After all, her grandfather is Otto Apocalypse!

Theresa firmly believes that no one can refuse after seeing it with their own eyes, right?

"It looks nice here, but I don't feel that way. Please tell me where Dad is, Auntie."

For Kiana, finding her missing father was the most important thing. In her eyes, St. Freya was just a much larger version of Chiba Academy.

"I already told you, Siegfried is in a very, very dangerous place. I don't want you to go and die!"

"I'm amazing!"

Kiana clenched her fist and tried to make a strong move.

"A little girl who isn't even a Valkyrie dares to call herself powerful?"

Seeing that her intimidation tactics were ineffective, Theresa decided to change her strategy.

"Kiana, we haven't seen each other for so many years, don't you want to spend time with your old auntie who lives alone?"

"But Auntie, you're not old either."

Qiong chuckled from behind. Theresa, an empty-nest old woman? If that counts, then what is Otto? A lonely old man?

"What are you laughing at, kid! Kiana, how about we discuss this Siegfried thing?"

If relying on one's age and seniority doesn't work, then one can only resort to deception. After all, it seems my niece isn't very bright.

"You'll join our St. Freya Academy and receive Valkyrie training. I'll mold you into a formidable warrior—by the way, St. Freya Academy is the only institution in the world that trains warriors to fight the Honkai!"

"Auntie, if I join, will you tell me where Dad is?"

"What are you thinking? Of course, we'll wait until you graduate! If you want to know about your father, then become a powerful A-rank Valkyrie!"

It's hopeless. Both Alvit and Sora realized this at the same time.

A-rank Valkyrie? From Qiong's perspective, Kiana's combat prowess may be up to par, but what about her cultural level?

According to a certain leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, this person was a formidable individual with a score of 0 in history and a total of 21 points in other subjects. If it weren't for the various tutoring sessions from Himeko and Bronya to the Immortal and the field missions, Kiana would have really been held back a year and had to call everyone else "senior"...

In Alvest's opinion, Theresa was completely bluffing. There were only a handful of A-rank Valkyries in the entire Far East branch. She had worked so hard for so many years and was only barely a B-rank. Kiana, who had not received any professional training, would never become an A-rank Valkyrie.

The most crucial point is that even if Kiana truly possesses A-rank qualifications, it doesn't mean Theresa will grant her A-rank status. Valkyrie assessments above A-rank require reporting to headquarters and formal approval from the Bishop before being entered into the system. The Bishop is her grandfather; if Theresa wanted, asking Otto to deliberately make the assessment more difficult wouldn't be difficult at all…

However, Kiana actually fell for this obvious deception.

"Oh, is it really that simple?"

Alvit, that big mouth, wanted to say something, pointing out that Kiana's status as an A-rank Valkyrie was quite difficult—the entire Far East branch could count A-rank or higher Valkyries on one hand. Then, as she reached out to pat Kiana's shoulder, she noticed Theresa glaring at her.

Well, isn't it good to give the little girl a goal? Rather than letting Kiana find out the truth and decide to run away to find Siegfried, it's better to keep her hanging on with conditions.

I initially thought Lady Theresa had been in private contact with Siegfried, but judging from her deceptive attitude, she probably hasn't been in contact at all and is just keeping Kiana hanging.

"When I get serious, I'll show you what I'm capable of, whether it's being a Valkyrie or anything else!"

"Very good, that's ambitious, keep it up!"

Qiong decided to applaud Kiana's bold statement to show her support, but her attitude gave people the feeling of... mockery and watching the show.

"What are you laughing at, you little gray-haired guy? Aren't you going to join us too? Don't let me outdo you later, and then you'll be crying and begging your big sister Kiana to protect you!"

First of all, how can a boy be a Valkyrie? Secondly, to reiterate, Gray-haired Star Core Essence is certified by Old Yang as an S-level expert. Although he obviously doesn't have that ability now, once he studies the Xia Ji Ba Chuan Sword Technique and the Sui Xin Er Huo Staff Technique, and finds out exactly which box the Dragon Roar Baseball Bat he conjured from, he should be more than capable of taking down Kiana, right?

Speaking of which, should I tell Lao Yang that I'm from the future and get on the anti-entropy bandwagon?

After all, Lao Yang and those two PhDs were considered good people and survivors in Honkai Impact 3.

canteen.

As one of the few male beings in St. Freya, the two male teachers have been eating together recently, but because this person is Otto's man, Lao Yang is somewhat wary.

"Teacher Yang, have you been feeling a bit restless lately?"

"Oh, really? It's alright, I've been having the same dream every night lately..."

Himeko, the navigator of the Star Train, tells him that they've found Earth and can go home. Then, for some reason, she and the deceased Void Relic appear in a snowy landscape. She uses the Void Relic as a Swiss Army knife and a skateboard, shouting things like "I want to go home." Afterward, the three little members of the train crew run over to him and say something:

"Uncle Yang (Mr. Walter), the Pinocchio trip is over!"

Then, when he woke up, he found himself still on Earth, still at St. Freya Academy.

It's just an Earth that appears as a dome, and the surrounding area seems to have changed a little. However, all signs indicate that this is the Earth that Lao Yang knows. He didn't enter the Dream of Taiyi!

Perhaps subconsciously, he still can't believe it all?

"What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. Although I only know a little about dreams, I do know that Teacher Yang has been a bit stressed lately. Would you like some calming medicine?"

No, that's not necessary.

After all, it wasn't a serious illness. Walter preferred to believe that it was a side effect of his staying up all night drawing comics—more than ten years of comics, even the power of the Supreme Law wouldn't be enough!

"Judging by the time, the headmistress will be returning to St. Freya today."

According to Tesla and Einstein, Theresa entered the area before their people could make contact with the target, and to be on the safe side, they chose to abandon the plan. Therefore, it is highly likely that Sora was taken away by Theresa.

"Teacher Bai, who is that child in the photo to you?"

"Him..."

A slight smile appeared on Bai Ji's lips.

"He is my little apprentice, a fool who thinks he's clever."

Old Yang: ?

"Eat whatever you want, it's on me today because it's your period!"

"Yay! Let me see what delicious food is available!"

The moment Theresa led her people into the cafeteria, almost everyone's attention was drawn to the headmaster, including the two male teachers.

“Qiong…”

Happy National Day!
