Chapter 212

She really doesn't hold a grudge at all.

Well, although it's also possible that because her brain isn't very good and her memory is poor, she can't remember grudges for long. (Laughs)

"Sorry, but this way it's no problem."

"Hm? Bai Ge, what are you saying?"

"Nothing, it's already healed."

Bai Ge's fingers touched Kiana's neck. Under the healing of the Authority of Death, the tooth marks healed completely after a short while. The neck was smooth and fair, like a swan's.

Although Bai Mouren felt a little bit of regret while healing, watching his own marks disappear from Kiana's body, he felt a little reluctant.

However, he knew this was just his possessiveness and selfishness at work, as if the girl with his tooth marks on her neck belonged to him, Bai Ge—even though this was a wrong way of thinking.

"Bai Ge, actually, I can do it!"

"Hm? Mei, what can you do?"

"No, nothing..."

Mei, who had finally gathered her courage, lost her nerve again.

She couldn't say that she also wanted to be bitten by Bai Mouren, could she? If she were to say it, she could only do so after returning to the dormitory at night. Right now, there were dozens of gazes in the classroom secretly sizing them up.

Bai Ge, Mei, Kiana, Bronya, and Seele—these five were naturally the focus of the class's attention.

Thanks to the 'grass-eating insect' being a big mouth and spreading the word everywhere over the past two days, the Valkyries of St. Freya Academy were very clear about what had happened during the Third Honkai.

Therefore, they had long been especially curious about Bai Ge and Mei.

A girl who is a Herrscher.

And a boy who pulled the Herrscher into the human camp.

"Raiden Mei, are you really a Herrscher? Is your power to discharge electricity?"

"Hehe, this is my first time seeing a real Herrscher. Although textbooks say Herrschers are humanoid, you really don't look any different from us."

"Is this Bai Ge? The great hero who saved Nagazora City! Please, please shake my hand!"

"May I ask if the two of you are really in that kind of relationship?"

After the first Valkyrie gathered the courage to talk to them, more people came one after another.

Soon, Bai Ge and Mei were surrounded by these beautiful Valkyries.

For Raiden Mei, there was nothing to be unaccustomed to. At Chiba Academy before Raiden Ryoma was imprisoned, the young girl was often the focus of attention, like stars surrounding the moon.

But Bai Ge felt it was a bit novel.

Although Mei looked no different from an ordinary beautiful girl now, her identity as a Herrscher was there. These Valkyries actually had the courage to come and gossip; were they that thick-skinned?

"Your attitude towards Herrschers is much more positive and friendly than I imagined..."

To be honest, Bai Ge was initially worried that Mei would be ostracized at St. Freya Academy because of her identity as a Herrscher.

After all, Valkyries are warriors who exist to fight against the Honkai, and Herrschers, as apostles of the Honkai, have a relationship that can be described as naturally extremely antagonistic.

"Hi~ Herrschers? We've all learned about them in class. So far, the few Herrschers that have appeared are all good people."

"Oh? Tell me more specifically."

"Bai Ge, you'll know if you look at the textbooks."

A Valkyrie immediately helped him flip the book to the relevant page. Bai Ge glanced at it and was immediately surprised.

The book recorded the deeds of the First Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason (Welt), and the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void (Bai Ge), and it was the kind of true deeds that hadn't been tampered with by Otto's shameless lies like in the original plot.

It accurately recorded that the Herrscher of Reason protected a city, and also recorded the deeds of the Herrscher of the Void facing a rain of missiles alone to protect important people.

It highly praised the heroic performance of the two, and emphasized that Herrschers also have humanity and are not necessarily apostles of the Honkai.

(Also, it's not just Schicksal that is dominant now. Because of me, Anti-Entropy has caught up quite a bit over the years, and St. Freya Academy is no longer a subordinate branch of Schicksal, but a truly independent Valkyrie training institution.)

Coupled with the many A-rank Valkyries saved by Bai Ge during the Second Honkai, many of them were teachers here. Even if Otto wanted to rewrite history, he couldn't.

He could modify the process in the data records of the Second Honkai, but he couldn't modify the memories of so many people saved by Bai Ge. And these saved people chose to make the boy's deeds public to clear his name as a Herrscher.

After all, heroes should not suffer injustice.

And the young Valkyries who knew these deeds were no longer as ignorant as in the original plot, treating Herrschers as heinous enemies under Schicksal's brainwashing-style education.

"So that's how it is, that's really good."

"Mm, if I can meet them in person, I must thank these two seniors who changed the world's view."

Mei also said gratefully. She had actually prepared herself to be ostracized by everyone in the class.

"Hehe, you're welcome~" (Super quiet)

Bai Ge curled his lips and whispered.

Besides, Mei, you have actually already met them. The Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Reason in the book are right in front of you.

As the preparatory bell rang, Mr. Welt Yang, who taught history, walked into the classroom.

(By the way, what is this guy doing here...)

Bai Ge looked at Welt on the podium, very puzzled. You are a perfectly good Herrscher of Reason, why aren't you being the leader of Anti-Entropy, drawing Honkai manga, or playing with figures? What are you trying to achieve by being a history teacher at this Valkyrie academy? What's wrong? Tired of being a Herrscher and want to retire?

That's fine, just hand over the core cleanly and let me strengthen my combat power, or let Bronya ride the motorcycle trailer.

Then you can play however you want, Old Yang. Even if you board the train early, no one will care.

"Alright, students, before class starts, please let the new students introduce themselves."

"... Hello everyone, I am Bai Ge. My interest is music. Please take care of me in the future."

"Hello everyone, I am Raiden Mei. I am a Herrscher. My interest is cooking. Please take care of me in the future."

There was no need for their introductions to be long, because that 'grass-eating insect' had already introduced them in detail during the two days they were absent.

After the introduction, Bai Ge still had some emotions.

Good guy, all the Herrschers that have appeared in the current civilization are now attending class in one classroom. St. Freya Academy truly lives up to its name as the Far East Demon Cave and Herrscher Academy.

"Alright, let's start class now."

"Zzzzzzzz~~"

"Bai Ge, please wake up the Kiana student next to you. Thank you. Also, inform her that because she has slept in class for three consecutive days, Kiana's grade for this course is already failing."

Bai Ge looked speechlessly at Kiana, who had already fallen asleep beside him. What an infant-like sleep.

By the way, how did this girl do it? She was still awake when he and Mei were introducing themselves, but she fell asleep the next second her gaze fell on the book.

"Ahhh! This young lady refuses to accept this!"

After learning the fact that she had failed the course at light speed, Kiana cried and made a scene, rolling on the ground and shouting loudly that she had no face left. This was only the third day of school.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Come, eat a chicken leg and calm down."

"Oh, aam!"

"And think on the bright side. Since you've already failed, there's even less need to listen from now on."

"That's right! Bai Ge, you're truly a genius!"

"... This girl won't actually believe it, will she?"

Bai Ge was immediately caught between laughter and tears.

He thought that even if you fail, there are make-up exams. Sometimes Kiana shouldn't slack off so thoroughly. Even if he knows that 'learning without thinking is labor lost, and thinking without learning is perilous'...

Although the 'grass-eating insect' looks like she's hibernating as soon as she sees a book in cultural classes, she is definitely full of energy and vigor during the afternoon practical combat training class.

"Bai Ge, Bai Ge, look!"

"Mm-hmm~ Not bad."

"Hehe! Third-generation Valkyrie B-rank armor, Valkyrie Ranger! Doesn't it suit this young lady very well~"

"Emmm, so erotic."

Bai Ge blinked his eyes and gave a sincere evaluation.

Although it's called high-tech armor, it looks just like a white tight-fitting bodysuit. After Kiana puts it on, her slender and long figure is fully visible, especially that slim waist that looks like it's missing two ribs, and those long legs...

He didn't have any special feelings in the game, but seeing it in reality, every time this girl jumped around, Bai Ge felt his eyes were about to be dazzled.

Although Bai Mouren has a grudge against Otto, a grudge that cannot be reconciled! But only in the design of Valkyrie armor, he is willing to applaud this Schicksal Overseer and say Otto did a beautiful job!

"Hm? There are also star and cat patterns. Is this a personalized customization Kiana added herself?"

"No, it's not! Himeko insisted I add them. I don't particularly like cats and stars."

"Is that so? I actually like them quite a bit, especially the former."

Bai Ge said, raising his hand to ruffle Kiana's head. Such a cute little kitten is born to be eaten by daddy, hehehehehe~~

Although Valkyrie Ranger performs poorly in the game—truly practicing is practicing in vain—in reality, it is high-level armor second only to the fourth-generation Godslayer armor.

Even Kiana's Valkyrie Ranger can transform into Knight Moonbeam when Honkai energy is sufficient.

After all, as the awakening vessel for the next Herrscher of the Void, Kiana is the first and most critical piece of the puzzle in Otto's plan. He absolutely will not allow any accidents to happen to the 'grass-eating insect's' life safety.
