"Alright, why are we still discussing this? The mission is over, let's relax," Theresa said.
"You're right, the mission is over anyway," Himeko said, looking at Theresa.
"What can we do? It's a company my grandfather approved of," Theresa said helplessly.
"Alright, let's talk about something else." Theresa connected her communicator to the television.
"Headquarters has developed new armor."
Saying that, Theresa tapped her communicator.
A human model appeared on the television.
"This is the new generation of armor. According to the data from Headquarters, it's much more powerful than the current armor."
"A new generation of armor? Is this what Fu Hua went back to Headquarters to test?" Himeko asked, looking at the armor model.
"It should be this. After all, there's no other armor to test," Theresa said.
"That's really good then. It looks like Kiana and the others will be able to wear the new armor very soon," Himeko said with a light chuckle.
"Are you that confident in Kiana and the others?" Theresa also said with a smile.
"Of course! You don't even need to look at whose students they are. It's just a Valkyrie assessment. At the very least, there's no problem for the three of them," Himeko said somewhat proudly.
"Yes, yes, yes, but you also need to be serious with the other students."
"Don't worry, the other students will have no problem passing the regular assessments before graduation," Himeko said, finishing the last sip of beer in her hand.
She then crushed the beer can and threw it directly into the trash can.
"Then I'll be waiting for the Far East Branch to have more excellent Valkyries," Theresa said, nodding.
"Oh, Elysia, remember to write the mission report for Heliopos Life Science," Theresa suddenly said to Elysia.
"Inspection-type missions require a mission report. Write it when you have time. If you don't, I'll copy one for you," Theresa said casually.
"Well, I'll go write it later, Theresa, don't worry ♬~" Elysia said, stroking Theresa's head.
"Anyway, my grandfather won't care. For this new armor, I'll apply for a few more pieces later and see if my grandfather gives them to me," Theresa said, looking at the armor model.
"The Lord Bishop will definitely give them to you, won't he? After all, he's your grandfather," Elysia said, looking at the armor model.
The third-generation Valkyrie armor, huh?
"Even if the Lord Bishop is my grandfather, this new armor isn't something you can just apply for casually," Theresa said somewhat helplessly.
"Theresa is right. New armor is generally first equipped for active Valkyries," Himeko nodded.
"Even if it's only equipped for active Valkyries, the Academy can still get a lot of retired armor for training," Himeko said.
So, no matter how many pieces of new armor could be applied for, new armor would always be stored in the Academy.
Just as Himeko had said.
After the holiday ended.
When school started.
A floating battleship arrived at the Academy.
Inside the Dean's office.
"Theresa, the armor you applied for has arrived," the blonde girl in a military uniform said, standing in front of Theresa.
"Bianka, you are already an S-Rank Valkyrie. You don't need to call me senior," Theresa said, uncharacteristically calm.
"No, a senior is a senior. You became an S-Rank Valkyrie before me," Bianka said seriously.
"Theresa, please don't refuse. After all, you know Durandal's personality very well," the brown-haired maid said with a smile, standing beside Bianka.
"You're right, Bianka's personality is just like that," Theresa nodded.
"Has all the armor I applied for been delivered?"
"Yes, Theresa. The latest third-generation Valkyrie armor has all arrived, and enough quantities of the older generation armor for training have also been provided," Bianka said, nodding.
"Alright, when I get back, please thank my grandfather for me."
"Theresa, the Lord Bishop really hopes you can come back for a visit," Bianka said, looking at Theresa.
"Later. I'll go back after some time," Theresa said with a sigh.
"Alright, Theresa, I will report to the Lord Bishop. Among the delivered armor, there is a gift from the Lord Bishop for you."
"A gift?" Theresa was momentarily stunned.
"Yes, your birthday is approaching. This is a gift from the Lord Bishop in advance."
"A birthday gift? I understand," Theresa nodded.
"All the armor has been delivered to St. Freya Academy, Theresa. Rita and I will leave now. We have other missions later."
After speaking, Bianka turned and left the Dean's office directly.
"Theresa, we will be leaving now. The Lord Bishop misses you very much."
After the brown-haired maid finished speaking, she bowed and followed Bianka out of there.
After they left, Theresa looked at the floating battleship within the Academy.
"A gift? After some time, I should still go back," Theresa said softly to herself.
On the way back to the floating battleship.
"Rita, why did Theresa insist on establishing the Academy here, and Himeko too?" Bianka asked, looking at the training students.
"Durandal, Theresa's reasons are the same as what they said when they left Headquarters back then."
"Is that so? But can this kind of training really cultivate powerful Valkyries? The number of Valkyries in the Far East Branch is the lowest among all branches," Bianka said as she walked.
"This isn't something we can evaluate, is it, Durandal? And the Lord Bishop also didn't object to Theresa's approach," Rita said with a smile.
"Furthermore, there are two highly potential students in this Academy."
"Highly potential students?"
"Durandal, do you remember Fu Hua, who tested the fourth-generation Valkyrie armor with you? She is a student of this Academy," Rita said.
"She's also a student of this school?" Durandal frowned slightly.
In her opinion, a warrior like Fu Hua, who had undergone strict training, didn't seem like she came from this Academy at all.
"Yes, besides Fu Hua, Fu Hua's companion, Miss Elysia, is also a very excellent Valkyrie."
"To receive such an evaluation from you, Rita, I really want to meet her," Bianka said, standing on the bridge.
"There will be an opportunity to meet her later, Durandal."
Subsequently, the battleship slowly ascended, then gradually became transparent in the air, and finally completely disappeared into the sky.
