Chapter 115: Prelude
The forest east of the academy.
Wrapped in the light mist of the early morning, Kirataka and Fu Hua were doing their usual morning exercises here.
Surrounded by the forest, two people were seen fighting each other in an open space. The sound of fists and feet hitting each other was endless, and the speed was so fast that others could only see a residual shadow.
Fu Hua's figure was as fast as the wind, and her steps were agile. Kirataka tried his best to follow her steps and practice with her.
After the initial foundation-laying stage, his and Fu Hua's morning exercises changed from doing horse stance and boxing together to more practical exercises.
After some exercises, their morning exercise came to an end.
Kirataka sat on the protruding stone, picked up the water bottle, and took a sip of water.
After intense physical training, relaxing in such a comfortable environment is quite enjoyable.
"Kirataka, your foundation is already quite solid."
Fu Hua folded her arms, stood to one side, and looked at the young man in front of her with a smile.
——Although there doesn't seem to be much difference in age between the two, but compared to their actual age, she is definitely Kirataka's elder.
"So, when can I continue to learn the next step of boxing from you, Class Monitor?"
Kirataka asked expectantly.
The reason why he initially pestered the immortal to do morning exercises together was that he planned to learn Taixuan sword Qi and Cunxin boxing from her.
The Taixuan sword Qi of the immortal is extremely powerful. Even a certain Kiana praised it after practicing it after becoming a Herrscher.
Although it takes a very long time to cultivate the Taixuan Sword Qi — even Cheng Lingshuang, the most talented and perfect stigma awakener among the Seven Disciples of Taixuan, practiced for more than ten years before becoming the Taixuan Sword God — but the issue of time is not a big problem for him.
As long as you can open up the path of cultivation in this area, everything else will not be a problem.
"…It's time to consider the next step of practice."
Fu Hua said seriously.
As long as they are warriors fighting against Honkai, she is never reluctant to teach them her skills.
Kirataka's talent is also quite excellent, and it is not impossible for him to further practice Taixuan sword Qi.
She was not unfamiliar with accepting disciples.
It seemed like she had had a talented and hardworking apprentice like this a long time ago...
Perhaps, it was hundreds of years ago when they were still in Shenzhou?
However, those memories had become quite faint, and she could not remember them clearly.
Now, she can't even remember what she did during the second Honkai eruption more than ten years ago, let alone what happened hundreds of years ago.
Having said that, the practice of Taixuan sword Qi cannot be started in the near future.
"…but I'm afraid it's not working well lately."
Fu Hua pushed her glasses and said with some regret.
"Is the Class Monitor going out on a mission?"
Kirataka asked knowingly.
Fu Hua nodded and said:
"Yes, it is a task assigned directly by the headquarters."
——As one of the chess pieces placed by Otto next to Kiana to monitor her, Fu Hua, who is apparently an A-level Valkyrie, actually does not go out very often. Her main focus is still on observing Kiana's condition.
Now she has received a new mission from the headquarters. As expected, the next thing is the core event of the Herrscher of Death that will take place in Singapore.
"So you're not coming to today's practical class, Monitor?"
After hearing this, Kirataka asked curiously.
Thinking back to when he first arrived at St. Freya Academy, it was Fu Hua who served as the examiner for him and Kiana and measured their level of ability.
"Well, I have to go back and prepare to pack up. Someone else will be responsible for giving you practical training today."
Fu Hua answered briefly.
"So who's the replacement? Teacher Himeko?"
From a common-sense perspective, it should be Himeko who was originally in charge of them.
He was planning to ask Fu Hua to try out the protective effect of the [Infinity], but now it couldn't be realized.
Although Teacher Himeko is also an A-level Valkyrie, her combat ability is more dependent on years of combat experience and the forcible improvement of Schicksal's technology, which is somewhat forced.
If we consider their combat capabilities alone, they are not suitable as experimental subjects.
Fu Hua shook her head slightly and said:
"No, Himeko is also out on a mission. The one in charge of your combat training today is the principal. She said she wants to test you personally."
............
In the morning, at the combat training ground of St. Freya Academy.
After saying goodbye to Fu Hua, Kirataka came here alone. The rest of the people had already arrived.
Kiana and Mei, Bronya and Seele, and of course their examiner, the little nun sitting on the cross.
He came to Seele and Bronya and happened to hear what they were talking about.
Seele: "Sister Bronya, why does Principal Theresa look about the same age as us?"
To be more precise, they look younger than their age.
In her impression, elders such as teachers should be adult women like Cocolia
But Theresa looked like just one of their peers.
Bronya: "This... is the principal's secret."
Well, she actually didn't know the reason very well.
Almost no one knows that Theresa is a fusion warrior created by Otto.
"Ah, Brother Kirataka, you are here."
Seele noticed his arrival and said with a faint smile.
Kirataka nodded and looked at Theresa in the center of the battlefield.
As a target for experimenting with the effects of the [Infinity], dear Principal is also a good choice.
Although her battle record in the original timeline has not been very good, she does have the combat power of an S-class Valkyrie.
...Come to think of it, why did it feel like there was something wrong with the way Mei looked at him just now?
"I have heard Bronya's report on Seele's situation. Anyway, welcome to St. Freya's Academy."
Theresa sat on the Oath of Judah and welcomed the girl in front of her:
"Since we're here, Seele, you might as well follow Kiana and the others to test your actual combat abilities."
"Okay...Okay, Principal."
Seele nodded quickly.
Theresa patted the cross beneath her, and it automatically expanded to both sides, with several spirit spears and chains extending from it.
Then, the petite white-haired girl jumped down from the cross and casually said to the students in front of her:
"Okay, come on, let me see how much you have improved during this period of time."
