Chapter 94 Qiong, I've chosen you!
Chapter 94 Qiong, I've chosen you!
"Even by the standards of reserve Valkyries, the training intensity of the Valkyries in the Far East Branch is too low."
After observing the surroundings, the outspoken Durandal seemed to treat herself not as a guest but as a commentator, offending everyone in St. Freya with her most direct words.
“Ms. Theresa, I think there’s something wrong with your teaching methods: can this kind of intense training really give these Valkyries the power to face the Honkai? I don’t think so. Although St. Freya seems to be a little better than before, she’s only a little better. You’re not protecting them, you’re harming them!”
"Lady Durandal..."
Even Rita didn't know how to stop Durandal at this moment.
"Enough, please stop..."
"Yae Sakura, stop talking."
Yae Sakura tried to stop Durandal from continuing her "outrageous remarks" that made Theresa uncomfortable, but Theresa herself stopped her.
She appreciated the kindness, but it would be too embarrassing to be protected by someone else!
"Hey, hey, hey, don't think you can bully my period just because you're the strongest Valkyrie in Destiny!"
"Kiana, don't be rude!"
Theresa stopped Yae Sakura, but not her own indignant niece.
Although Kiana didn't say it, she acknowledged that Theresa was a good headmistress and a good parent. How could she tolerate her own family being insulted by outsiders?
No way!
"Are you bullying your period?"
Durandal was stunned.
"You must be Kiana Kaslana? I have great respect for your mother... I didn't bully Lady Theresa, I was just telling the truth. After all, you are too weak, how can you possibly defeat the Honkai?"
“You know my mother? No, wait, now is not the time to talk about this.”
Although I am very eager to know about my mother's great achievements, it is more important to restore Theresa's reputation.
"Who said our St. Freya is weak? Our St. Freya Academy is super strong, okay? For example, for example..."
Kiana looked around and saw Sora talking to Himeko about something.
"Take him, for example, my little brother, Little Gray Hair, Qiong! He has fighting power that even Auntie would acknowledge. You say our St. Freya is no good? All talk and no action is useless. If you're so capable, then easily defeat him!"
"Yeah, yeah, if you're so capable, then easily defeat Qiong!"
Anyway, Theresa had originally planned to have Sora step in, and when Kiana spoke, the classmates who were initially somewhat dissatisfied started to jeer. Theresa then clasped her hands together in prayer towards Sora.
Sora, it's you I choose!
"Qiong, are people calling you?"
"No, no, no, you must have misheard, Himeko-neechan..."
Qiong suddenly realized that Himeko could also charge him up? That was much more convenient than Yae Sakura, and she had already charged him up to about 70-80%.
Keep dragging it out!
But Himeko wasn't going to help him stall any longer.
"Don't delay any longer. It seems you still have to face the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny. Good luck, don't get taken down in one move."
--------------
"Paramecium, bad bug, stupid bug..."
"Little Grey, keep it up! Don't embarrass me!"
"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering!"
Qiong thought she could avoid this battle, but she got caught in the crossfire because Qi was trying to divert attention from her aunt's illness.
As expected, the headmaster's credits weren't so easy to earn.
"You seem very nervous?"
Incidentally, although Rita offered Dawn's Glory, Durandal refused.
It's hard to say whether Durandal looked down on Sora or was afraid that she would stab Sora to death with a single shot; she simply took a plasma rifle from the training grounds of St. Freya Academy.
"Who wouldn't be nervous facing the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny?"
"That makes sense. I know they pushed you into this position. If you really don't want to fight, you don't have to force yourself—"
"No, fight!"
Judging from experience, Durandal may have sincerely expressed that if she didn't want to fight, she didn't have to—but if she surrendered without a fight, not to mention what her classmates would think of her after she stepped down, Theresa could tear her apart!
"And what about your weapon?"
The fact that Qiong Kong took the stage is also why Durandal believes Qiong doesn't want to fight.
The flaming spear appeared out of nowhere, which piqued Durandal's interest slightly.
"A special ability to summon weapons?"
"The will to protect—is unbreakable!"
Hmm, I don't know why, but I suddenly really want to fight him.
-----------
"Then let's settle on that amicably, my dear friend."
"I hope that Bishop Otto will keep his promise."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in lying. Mars—no, I should say Luo Xing? The Luo Xing civilization will surely be revived, which is a blessing for the entire solar system, isn't it?"
Theresa was nowhere to be found, nor was Yae Sakura, so after talking to Bai Ji for a while, the two left the headmaster's office.
"Seriously, where did my precious granddaughter go? I guess I'll have to meet up with those other kids first. They said she's at the training ground, right?"
"Flame Spear, charge!"
Upon entering the training ground, the pillar of fire on the platform attracted everyone's attention, including Otto's.
"Oh my, this is interesting! Bai Ji, you never mentioned that your apprentice could do this!"
"It's not that I didn't want to say it, it's just that I thought it would never happen again..."
Bai Ji's expression was somewhat nostalgic.
"He said that only when one cherishes loved ones can the flame of protection endure and the flaming spear unleash its power..."
Thinking about this, Bai Ji suddenly had a bad feeling.
Wait, who has this kid fallen for?!
---------------
"Very good defensive ability. I used four-tenths of my strength and I couldn't make you move an inch."
"That's right, don't look down on our St. Freya!"
Although Qiong had to refresh her shield with each shot, because even with the plasma spear, the fire spear's shield couldn't withstand a second hit.
As expected of the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, she can easily mess with him up like this.
But in the eyes of others, Durandal has never been able to break through the impenetrable defenses of the Dome.
"Come on, little gray hair! Stop defending, attack! Attack! Defeat the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, and you will be the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny!"
"I am male!"
As he spoke, the plasma spear pierced Qiong's fire spear once again.
"Don't get distracted during battle. Yes, I acknowledge your defensive abilities, but what about your offensive skills? Or are you only good at defense and incapable of offense?"
In Qiong's view, this was clearly a provocation from Durandal, so there was no way around it; a man can't say no!
"Then let me show you my attack, you blockhead!"
"Dair? We don't seem that close, do we?"
Qiong shouted, and the flames on the Flame Spear surged.
After being beaten for so long, even a clay figure has some spirit; he was also feeling aggrieved!
"The spear tip is ignited! Flame Spear, charge!"
Qiong's figure flashed, rushing towards Durandal like a streak of fire. The flaming spear, carrying a scorching aura, thrust out with astonishing speed. Durandal hadn't expected Qiong's attack to be so swift. Although somewhat flustered, she didn't intend to dodge, but simply raised her plasma spear to defend.
"boom!"
The two collided with a tremendous sound, and the powerful impact shook the surrounding air, while the rising flames left the onlookers wondering what would happen next.
"Aaaaah! You guys are going too far! This is my training ground!"
Durandal quickly regained her composure and began to counterattack. After nearly shattering her plasma spear to block Qiong's charge, she kicked Qiong away.
It went so smoothly it was almost unbelievable. Even Durandal hadn't expected it to go so easily, because judging from the defensive power that Qiong had shown before, she should have kicked a steel plate, right? What's going on?
Because that blow was so powerful, it burned everything away...
Fortunately, Qiong could still stand up. With a flick of her little hand, she swapped her flame spear for a baseball bat. Even the best kung fu master is afraid of a kitchen knife; he refused to believe that Durandal could easily defeat him with a nearly destroyed spear!
"Enough! That's enough! This match ends here!"
In Theresa's view, the Dome had already blocked Durandal's attack for five minutes and even launched a beautiful counterattack at the end. If Durandal continued to fight seriously, she would definitely lose. Stopping now was undoubtedly the best option.
And there's another reason: she might not feel sorry for the two of them, but she feels sorry for the training ground! The repair costs for the damaged facilities will be another expense...
