After an awkward breakfast, everyone left the house.
Kiana still looked carefree; it was truly enviable how she could maintain such a mindset.
It was still morning cultural classes.
Today, there was still History class, and watching Yang, who was lecturing normally on the podium, Elysia really wanted to go directly and ask Otto.
Do you know that the leader of your Anti-Entropy counterpart is working in your house?
The entire morning class passed with Elysia's mind wandering; class was really so simple.
However, when class ended, Yang mentioned in the classroom, "Students, the end of the semester is approaching. I wonder how well everyone remembers the knowledge points. The next two weeks will be review time. Students who haven't memorized the knowledge points should study more during their breaks."
After speaking, she scanned the classroom, "Alright, class dismissed."
With that, Yang left the classroom directly. A teacher who doesn't keep students late is a good teacher!
When it came to the afternoon training class, because the exams were approaching, Himeko took everyone to the Memory Battlefield (a simulated training facility) for training.
"Alright, today's training is group training. Everyone will pick up their weapons at the entrance of the Memory Battlefield, and then gather inside the Memory Battlefield," Himeko said before walking in with Rita.
At the entrance of the Memory Battlefield, Elysia's classmates were all choosing their preferred weapons.
Mei chose a katana, while Kiana picked up two pistols.
When it was Bronya's turn, she selected a heavy cannon from the heavy weapon section. Then, a half-body robot emerged behind her, using its mechanical claw to attach the heavy cannon to its mechanical arm.
Elysia, on the other hand, looked around the weapon area. She didn't know what weapon to choose; none of these weapons were cute.
"Elysia, have you not chosen yet?" Mei walked over and asked, looking at the conflicted Elysia.
"Hmm, not yet. After all, I don't know which of these weapons is good to use," Elysia turned to Mei. Mei was already wearing her Valkyrie armor, though it was only the lowest-grade training armor.
The tight material of the armor perfectly accentuated Mei's figure.
"Does Elysia not have a preferred weapon?" Mei asked in confusion. In her opinion, Elysia, with her good physical fitness and quick reflexes, should at least be proficient in using one weapon.
"A preferred weapon?" Elysia thought for a moment, tapping her chin. She really didn't have any preferred weapon. "It seems not."
"Then why doesn't Elysia just pick a convenient weapon?" Mei suggested.
"Convenient? Then, as expected, it's you." Elysia walked to the bow and arrow section and picked up a compound bow.
Because it was a training weapon, the arrows for this compound bow needed to be brought by oneself and did not have the ability to generate arrows like Elysia's own compound bow.
After choosing the compound bow, she fiddled with it a few times, then picked up the matching quiver and slung it directly onto her back.
However, the arrows in the quiver were limited no matter what, so Elysia still needed to choose another weapon to use.
Since she hadn't learned any skills, Elysia just took a dagger as a backup. She thought of using the dagger directly as a kitchen knife.
Seeing that Elysia had already made her choice, Mei asked, "Elysia, aren't you going to change into the training armor?" She looked at Elysia, who didn't seem to intend to change clothes, with confusion.
"Hmm, after all, this armor isn't very good-looking, so I don't plan to wear it ♬ ~"
Seeing that Elysia had made up her mind not to wear it, Mei didn't try to persuade her further and led Elysia into the Memory Battlefield.
Inside the Memory Battlefield, Himeko and Rita had also taken their weapons, but they hadn't changed into training armor.
Seeing Elysia, who also wasn't wearing armor, Himeko walked directly over, "Elysia, why aren't you wearing the training armor?"
"Because the armor isn't good-looking, and besides, Teacher Himeko and Miss Rita aren't wearing it either ♬ ~" Elysia repeated her earlier reason.
Looking at Elysia like this, Himeko said nothing. After all, everyone would find this training armor unattractive the first time they saw it. They would realize its importance once they suffered a loss.
Under Himeko's command, everyone first warmed up. After the warm-up, today's main event began.
Simulated combat within the Memory Battlefield.
Of course, the Memory Battlefield would only try its best to simulate the effects of actual combat, but it was still fake after all, and there would be many uncontrollable factors in actual combat.
"Today's simulated combat target is this." A projection appeared behind Himeko, showing a Chariot-class Honkai Beast.
"Everyone is already familiar with the Chariot-class Honkai Beast. Today, your goal is to defeat it as much as possible in teams of three," Himeko stated today's training objective.
Then everyone began to form teams freely, but since Elysia was a transfer student and didn't come in a group of three like Mei and her friends, Elysia was the only one on her side.
Himeko walked to Elysia's side, "Elysia, you'll train with the two of us today."
"I'm training with you, Teacher Himeko?" Elysia looked at Himeko and Rita.
"If you don't train with us, are you going to train alone?"
"Hmm, then I'll obediently listen. Today, Teacher Himeko and Miss Rita will protect me."
"Alright, prepare yourselves. We'll go in first and demonstrate for your classmates, so you need to be careful and not make a fool of yourself in front of them," Himeko said, patting Elysia's shoulder.
"Huh? I'm going to demonstrate with Teacher Himeko?" Elysia's eyes widened.
"Otherwise?" Himeko shrugged. "Rita, you take Elysia to gather over there first. I'll go talk to these students."
"Understood, Senior Himeko. Miss Rita, this way," Rita said, walking ahead and gesturing for Elysia to follow her.
After reaching a doorway that resembled a security gate, Rita said, "Miss Rita, we can wait here."
"Okay, Miss Rita, but Rita can just call me Elysia. After all, all my friends call me that. Calling me Miss Rita is too formal," Elysia said, standing next to Rita.
"It seems Elysia considers Rita a friend. Then Elysia can also just call me Rita."
"Mhm, Rita," Elysia looked at Rita. Rita still maintained her elegant demeanor.
"Elysia, I've seen your data. Once we enter the Memory Battlefield, you can just stay far away. You can leave the battlefield to me and Senior Himeko," Rita said after some thought.
Both Himeko and Rita could easily defeat a normal Chariot-class Honkai Beast, but Himeko had just told her that to ensure the effectiveness of the demonstration, the Chariot-class Honkai Beast they would face would be strengthened.
In such a situation, if Elysia got too close to the battlefield, she could easily be affected by the aftermath of their battle.
"Rita doesn't need to worry about me. After all, I also have some self-preservation abilities," Elysia said casually.
After all, when Elysia first entered, she had already detected the data within the Memory Battlefield and had even infiltrated a portion of it.
As for why she didn't infiltrate everything directly?
If she infiltrated everything, the entire Memory Battlefield would be controlled by Elysia. Wouldn't that be good?
Yes, it would all be controlled by Elysia. Since the current Memory Battlefield is controlled by others, why should Elysia bother to control it herself?
Therefore, she only needed to infiltrate a portion to understand it.
