Wendy.
Kiana's senior.
A former genius girl from St. Freya, she became an A-rank Valkyrie at a young age, on the same level as Himeko.
She was known as someone with the potential to become the third S-rank Valkyrie of the current era.
Unfortunately, an experiment caused the former genius to fall.
"Principal." Wendy smiled at Theresa from the hospital bed, then turned her gaze toward Kiana behind her.
Even though Kiana had let her experience what it meant to brake with her face, she still smiled at her. "Kiana."
"I'm sorry." Kiana lowered her head. "I was careless back then."
Who could have thought that a seemingly flat floor could make a wheelchair move that fast?
All they could say was that it was fortunate that Wendy still had the foundation of an A-rank Valkyrie.
If it had been an ordinary person, that face-first crash would have taken off at least a layer of flesh.
Wendy only had a few scratches on her face.
"Wendy." Theresa's gaze passed over her legs, her expression complicated.
Wendy had become like this almost entirely because of her.
The reason Wendy had participated in that experiment involving the Herrscher core was precisely because Theresa had convinced her.
If Wendy really would become a Herrscher in the future, as Levi had said…
Then it was also because she, as a teacher, had failed to take responsibility.
Following her gaze, Wendy looked toward her own legs. Her eyes dimmed slightly, then became bright again.
She pointed at several flowers tucked between the bandages.
"Bronya got these for me. Pretty, right?"
"Pretty."
Both Theresa and Kiana gave an affirmative answer.
———
After leaving the Medical Department, on the way home, bored Kiana opened the chat group, planning to find some fun in the group.
Seeing Levi teasing Asta, she instinctively wanted to speak up and warn him.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her entire body stopped in the middle of the road while other Valkyries continued passing by her.
Ignoring the probing gazes of others, she stared straight at the chat group in front of her.
"Levi… Wendy…"
Since Levi knew that Wendy would become a Herrscher in the future, then… did he also have a way to solve it?
Even if he couldn't stop the process of her becoming a Herrscher, at the very least, he could restore those legs, which were unable to move because of the Herrscher core, while she was still human.
Levi could definitely handle such a simple request, right.
Kiana spoke up to ask Levi about this, conveniently rescuing Asta from the danger of her brain crashing.
"Hmm…"
Levi rubbed his chin. Getting Wendy out of her wheelchair and moving again was both difficult and simple.
The difficult part was that after being eroded by Honkai for years, her legs were almost beyond repair, with no possibility of being cured through medical treatment.
But the simple part was that Honkai existed in Kiana's world.
"The full name of Honkai is, Honkai can do anything."
[Ding! Welcome Snake Spirit to the chat group!]
[Snake Spirit: ?]
"Chat group?"
In the laboratory, the petite figure paused, destroyed the failed experimental subject in front of her, took off her mask, and looked at the projection before her.
Her eyes held a thoughtful look.
"Elysia did this again?"
Aside from Griseo, Elysia was the one who came to her research institute most often.
If she had come to provide some help with her research, that would be one thing.
But every time she came, she caused trouble. This time was probably her doing as well.
Seeing Elysia's name and profile picture in the chat group at a glance, Mobius gave a cold laugh.
[Elysia: Welcome, newbie!]
"Wait!" After just welcoming the newcomer, Elysia immediately noticed the other person's profile picture. "This looks like what Doctor looks like after shrinking!"
Even a tiny Doctor was cute.
"Could it be that the Doctor who joined the chat group this time is Doctor when she was little?"
Elysia guessed.
[Mobius: Hehe.]
After changing her name from Snake Spirit to her own name, Mobius responded to Elysia's welcome with a "Hehe."
Her gaze swept over the unfamiliar profile pictures one by one.
She guessed each person's identity one by one.
The Elysian Realm was only so big. She didn't believe Elysia could find someone like Raven to help fool her. They didn't have the guts for that.
[Mobius: @Kiana, Kevin.]
This one was easy to recognize. White hair and blue eyes. Though it couldn't be ruled out that Elysia had deliberately put out a smoke screen.
Then she started making random guesses, mainly to let Elysia know that she had already seen through her prank.
[Mobius: @Stelle, Eden.]
[Mobius: @Asta, Aponia.]
[Mobius: @Lumine, Pardofelis.]
[Mobius: @Bronya, Hua.]
[Levi: What about me? What about me?? What about me???]
'So jumpy?' A wave of an annoying presence came over, and Mobius spat out a name.
[Vill-V.]
This woman had actually come to play along with Elysia.
[Mobius: Did your Helix Workshop get blown up?]
You had time to come with Elysia to prank her.
[Levi: Uh… it should still not have been blown up.]
Although Mobius hadn't said his "name," the moment he saw the words "Helix Workshop," he knew who he was.
The fifth of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, holder of the Helix Signet, and owner of the Helix Workshop, Vill-V.
[Mobius: Do you need me to blow it up for you?]
Seeing this sentence, Levi blinked.
[Levi: It would be my honor!]
What a nice person, helping me blow up the Helix Workshop.
To be honest, he had wanted to go to the Elysian Realm and do this for a long time.
But blowing up only the Helix Workshop was definitely not enough. It would be best to blow up Mobius's research institute too.
Then, being hunted by the two most dangerous Flame-Chasers would be exciting just to think about.
These words fell into Mobius's eyes and were taken by her as mockery directed at herself.
[Mobius: You think I don't dare?]
[Levi: How could I? Everyone knows the name Mobius. How could there be anything you don't dare to do?]
[Mobius: Hehe.]
The two "Hehe"s made Levi feel that the other party was angry.
'Huh? How could she be angry? I've been saying very positive things this whole time.'
The corners of Levi's mouth couldn't stop rising.
[Mobius: This farce should end, Elysia.]
After saying that, Mobius's profile picture dimmed. Clearly, she had gone offline.
Elysia was left completely confused.
Not just Elysia. Everyone else except Levi was the same.
They were all completely confused.
"Kevin, Eden, Aponia, Pardofelis, Hua…"
Aside from Eden, whom Elysia had some impression of, seemingly a major celebrity, Elysia hadn't even heard of the others.
They probably weren't members of Fire Moth.
Since they knew her, this Doctor wasn't Doctor when she was little.
Rather, she had become smaller in the future for some unknown reason.
And the other party didn't know Levi either.
Levi seemed to have expected her not to know him.
He scratched at the strands of hair on top of his head a few times, then brushed the strands hanging down beside his temples behind his ears. "If only I could see the future."
Then she would be able to see when her planet-destroying battleship would arrive.
"Doctor?"
Klein returned from outside and saw Mobius carrying two large bags of things as she walked outside. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy.
"What are you going to do, Doctor?"
"Ah, it's Klein." Mobius smiled and lifted the bags in her hands. "I'm going out to take out the trash."
