Upon arriving at Saint Freya, Theresa first took Elysia for a physical examination to check if there were any residual toxins in her body. A direct scan by the instrument showed that both of them were very healthy.
Afterward, Theresa took Elysia to the Headmaster's Office to complete her enrollment procedures.
Regarding class arrangements, Theresa had some personal bias and directly assigned Elysia to the same class as her niece.
This was despite Elysia's age making her unsuitable for that class.
Elysia didn't notice any of this; she simply thought she was there to learn some combat skills.
As the enrollment procedures were being completed, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
The footsteps grew closer and closer, and then the door to the Headmaster's Office was suddenly pushed open.
The person who entered was a red-haired older sister, Himeko Murata.
After Himeko entered and saw Theresa was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Himeko walked directly in front of Theresa, placing her hands on the table, saying, "What exactly did you encounter in Nagazora City?"
"Himeko, look, aren't I fine?" Theresa tried to gloss over it.
"I know you're fine now! What exactly did you encounter last night?!" Himeko asked, a bit angry.
"That..." Theresa looked away somewhat guiltily. Upon seeing Elysia, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she walked directly to Elysia's side. "Himeko, Himeko, let me introduce you. This is going to be your student in the future."
Himeko also looked at Elysia at this moment. Although she had seen Elysia's information beforehand, seeing her in person still felt very stunning. Or rather, the real person gave a very gentle impression, whereas the hair and eye color in the photo made Elysia seem very aggressive.
"No need for an introduction from you. Hello, I am Himeko Murata, Miss Elysia." Himeko walked directly in front of Elysia, extending a hand to shake Elysia's hand.
"Nice to meet you, hello, Miss Himeko, I am Elysia. Pretty Sister can call me Elysia, oh ♬ ~" Elysia took Himeko's outstretched hand and enthusiastically introduced herself.
Afterward, Himeko looked at Theresa again. "You said Elysia would become my student? But shouldn't she have already graduated at her age?"
Hearing this, Elysia also looked at Theresa; she also wanted to hear what Theresa would say.
"Well, Elysia came out of Nagazora City, and she has nowhere else to go, so let her study at the academy to become a Valkyrie, right?" Theresa spoke with increasing guilt, as she hadn't informed Elysia of this situation beforehand.
"So, Miss Elysia, do you agree?" Himeko politely asked Elysia.
While Himeko was asking, Theresa secretly tugged at Elysia. Feeling Theresa's action, Elysia knew Theresa hadn't done anything good, but Elysia still decided to help Theresa conceal it. "Mhm, mhm, Elysia, I agreed to Theresa's invitation, after all, I also need to train my combat skills ♬ ~"
Himeko glared fiercely at Theresa. She wasn't blind; such an obvious small gesture, done right in front of her, was Theresa treating her as if she couldn't see! "Miss Elysia, don't mind Theresa. State your thoughts according to your own wishes."
"My own thoughts? Theresa told me that I could learn combat skills here, so I accepted her invitation," Elysia said seriously.
"Is that so? Good, in the upcoming courses, I will diligently teach you combat techniques," Himeko said seriously.
"Oh, right, Himeko, Elysia just arrived. Why don't you take her to the dorms over there? I remember there should still be empty rooms," Theresa suddenly said, standing next to Elysia.
Theresa's attempt to change the subject was clumsy, but Himeko still followed her lead. "Alright, I'll take Miss Elysia to choose an empty room."
"Teacher Himeko, you don't have to be so formal! You can just call me Elysia. After all, I'll be learning from you soon," Elysia said, hearing Himeko's address. She felt it was better to have Himeko change how she addressed her first. Hearing Himeko call her Miss Elysia always felt a bit distant.
"Okay, then I'll just call you Elysia. Let's go, I'll take you to the dorm first and help you tidy up your room," Himeko said, then led Elysia out of the Headmaster's Office.
After Elysia also exited the Headmaster's Office, Himeko pulled the door to close it. Theresa breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Himeko leaving. Then, as she turned her head, she saw Himeko mouth something to her. Upon understanding the meaning of the lip-reading, Theresa's face instantly turned pale.
Himeko's final lip-read message was, "Wait until tomorrow, I'll come find you again. You can't escape."
Theresa sat in her seat as if she had lost all hope. Although her rank was higher than Himeko's and she was Himeko's superior, she was still afraid of her. To be precise, both of them were afraid of losing each other; they had no more companions to lose. (To clarify, both of them care deeply for each other because they both agree with each other's ideals.)
It's likely that after this, it will be even harder for Theresa to go on missions alone.
On the way to the dorms, "Since you said that just now, I'll just call you Elysia. Elysia, don't always spoil Theresa. Although I don't know what you two experienced that made her trust you so much, I hope you don't deceive her; she's still very naive," Himeko said to Elysia as she walked ahead.
"Mhm, mhm, I understand, Teacher Himeko. Besides, it was Theresa who brought me out of Nagazora City, you know."
"Mhm, you can just call me Sister Himeko. You don't have to keep calling me Teacher Himeko. Being called 'teacher' by someone your age makes me feel like I'm almost unable to move anymore," Himeko said, then let out two hearty laughs.
"Okay, Sister Himeko," Elysia said easily.
"Oh, right, do you know what kind of monster Theresa encountered?" Himeko was still quite concerned about this, because Theresa is an S-Rank Valkyrie. Even if she wasn't serious, she couldn't be easily injured, let alone severely injured, by just any monster.
As an S-Rank Valkyrie, their Valkyrie armor has the function to detect their physical condition, and because of Theresa's identity, the armor on her body would directly synchronize the detection results to a specialized department.
Upon receiving the notification of Theresa's severe injury, Himeko wished she could instantly teleport to Theresa's side. Then, not long after, for some unknown reason, Theresa's physical condition quickly returned to a healthy level.
When Elysia heard Himeko's question, she began to recount her experience of meeting Theresa. Although it was only a short day, she could still talk for a long time.
As Elysia recounted, she described her own presence very modestly, as she had only shot two arrows.
