Outside the Memory Battlefield, everyone watched the battle projected before them.
They were all amazed by Aili's combat ability.
Although Aili only shot three arrows, all three arrows played a significant role.
Moreover, Aili's accuracy was astonishing.
Although the second arrow only hit the Honkai Beast's foreleg, if the Honkai Beast hadn't used its foreleg to block, the second arrow would have also hit its head.
At first, they were all surprised why the Chariot-class Honkai Beast that Himeko and her team faced was so special.
Although they had read in books that Chariot-class Honkai Beasts could have varying sizes depending on the concentration of Honkai energy, the one Himeko and her team faced was too large.
None of the three were wearing Valkyrie armor, which meant that in reality, they could also achieve this level of performance.
There's no need to mention Himeko; she is an A-Rank Valkyrie herself, with many experiences suppressing Honkai.
Miss Rita, the assistant instructor, came from headquarters and is the vice-captain of the Immortal Blade, which has an S-Rank Valkyrie as its captain.
But Aili was different; Aili was a bit older than them, yet she could keep up with Himeko and her team's rhythm and deliver effective attacks.
"So Elysia is that amazing? I definitely need to ask Elysia to teach me!" Kiana said, her eyes sparkling.
Mei and Bronya noticed some issues, "Bronya, Bronya, didn't you notice anything wrong?"
"Elysia's speed might not even be as fast as ours," Mei whispered.
"Huh? How is that possible? Elysia defeated that Honkai Beast!" Kiana looked at Mei strangely. Elysia defeated such a large Honkai Beast, wasn't that impressive?
"Kiana, didn't you pay close attention to Elysia's initial movements?" Mei rubbed her forehead. Her combat intuition was terrifyingly sharp, so why was she so slow when observing others?
Watching Kiana still scratching her head, Bronya directly took out her phone, then pulled out a data cable from the robot behind her, and started playing the recording of just now on her phone.
"Bronya, this is the combat log."
"Bronya, I'm not stupid." She habitually retorted, then seriously watched the recording.
In the recording, Aili first surveyed her surroundings, then seemed to confirm something and ran towards the battlefield. However, her speed was very slow compared to them, who were wearing armor.
Unlike Himeko and Miss Rita, even without armor, their speed was almost the same as theirs.
This matter quickly spread among the students. Yes, Aili could be said to have used her weapon at the right time and appropriately, causing maximum damage.
"Do you understand now, Kiana? Elysia is not someone who excels in combat," Mei said, looking at Aili in the recording.
"But Elysia was the one who defeated that Honkai Beast," Kiana felt very strange.
"Yes, Elysia was the one who ultimately defeated that Honkai Beast. It can be said that Elysia's bow is very accurate, and her intuition is also terrifyingly good," Mei glanced at Kiana, as Kiana's intuition was also terrifyingly good.
Soon after, Aili and her team walked out from the other side of the doorway.
"Everyone quiet down! Did you clearly see the battle just now?" Himeko said loudly to the students.
"Soon you will go in for training, and it will also be a Chariot-class Honkai Beast."
"But Himeko, do we also have to fight such a powerful Chariot-class Honkai Beast?" some students asked nervously.
If they also had to fight such a strong Chariot-class Honkai Beast, what was the difference from suicide? Himeko and Miss Rita had to fight cautiously.
"Of course not. What we just faced was a rather special Chariot-class Honkai Beast. You will only face ordinary Chariot-class Honkai Beasts, and as long as you cooperate tacitly, you can also defeat them," Himeko said, resting her sword on her shoulder.
Seeing some students still wanting to say something, Himeko continued, "Alright, it's just an ordinary Chariot-class Honkai Beast. You've simulated it before. Come over and enter for training according to your teams!"
Then Himeko moved to the side, clearing the doorway.
The students entered the other side of the doorway team by team. The Memory Battlefield divided into one small area after another according to their teams.
After all the students had entered, Himeko walked to a control panel, which now projected various screens.
Aili and Rita both stood beside Himeko, watching the projections to observe the students' combat status within the Memory Battlefield.
"Aili, have you practiced archery before?" Himeko asked.
"Hmm~ I guess you could say I have," Aili thought for a moment and said. She couldn't possibly say that she played with a toy bow when she was little, right?
"What do you mean 'I guess you could say I have'? But your archery aim is quite good, and your timing is also excellent," Himeko muttered first, then continued.
"Yes, Miss Aili's archery accuracy is indeed very good," Rita also said, and in combat, she could also consider her teammates' positions, which was indeed very difficult.
"The target is so big, if I didn't hit it, that would be the problem, right?" Aili was a bit helpless. Although she used some methods, the Honkai Beast's head was so big. If she didn't hit it, that would be the problem, right?
Even if she didn't hit the head and hit the body instead, as long as she shot forward, she would always hit something, right?
"That's not how it works, Miss Aili. For Death Soldier and Honkai Beasts, we need to make effective attacks. If we don't directly kill the Honkai Beast, they will slowly recover," Rita explained briefly.
"Rita, I told you, you can call me Aili," Aili first corrected Rita's way of addressing her, then said, "But what counts as an effective attack?"
"On the Honkai Beast's body, there are crystals that condense Honkai energy. This crystal is one of their weaknesses. Other weaknesses are not much different from humans," Rita explained to Aili.
"So, if the weapon is strong enough, can it directly blow off the Honkai Beast's head?" Aili proposed another idea.
"Yes, but such weapons are rare. Even with Honkai energy amplification, the explosion effect is very small. In most cases, multiple strikes are needed."
"But when I attacked just now, didn't the arrow easily pierce into the Honkai Beast's body and then explode?" Aili pulled out an arrow from behind her and looked at it.
"Aili, is the explosion power of a single arrow very strong? Unless it directly hits a weak point, Honkai Beasts will recover quickly. Not everyone is like you, who can easily attack weak points," Himeko directly pulled the arrow from Aili's hand.
Then Himeko pointed at the arrowhead and said, "And arrows are consumables. The materials are very different from normal weapon materials."
Saying that, Himeko held the arrow in her hand and scratched it against her greatsword, leaving a very obvious scratch on the greatsword.
Looking at the scratch on the greatsword, Aili looked at the arrow in Himeko's hand again. "Himeko, can I try it?"
"Huh? Try what?" Himeko said, returning the arrow in her hand to Aili.
But unexpectedly, Aili directly reversed her grip on the arrow and stabbed it into the greatsword.
After Aili let go, the arrow remained directly in the greatsword.
"You little girl, don't try things like this randomly!" Himeko quickly pulled out the arrow, then looked at the pit in the greatsword with some heartache.
These losses would have to be reported afterwards!
Arrows being consumables is fine, but a pit like this on the greatsword is not easy to fix!
But looking at Aili's innocent eyes, Himeko could only sigh.
She wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to.
To distract herself, Himeko could only seriously look at the projection.
