Chapter 86: "Special day Theresa"
"Himeko is really a very reliable teacher. I feel very happy to be able to attract talented talents like her to enter my school."
Theresa breathed a sigh of relief, and she looked at Himeko who was teaching her students seriously, with a very satisfied look.
"Cecilia, do you think we have the same other talents as Himeko? I need more teachers just like her."
"Talent? Everyone has their own ability Theresa-chan. Judging someone as talented, or not talented is not what we can do. We can only give them the best chance to shine, and live life the way they want."
Theresa shook her head: "No, that's not what I meant..."
As the only valkyrie school that operates independently from Schicksal, the qualities of the valkyries that come from St. Freya, and the valkyrie who came from the Schicksal, experienced quite a difference.
In last years, almost no valkyrie rank-A emerged from her school.
Although there was no one who dared to speak badly behind her back since she was the granddaughter of bishop Otto. The piercing gazes of the appraisers from Schicksal, always made Theresa's heart go into so much pain as if it was being torn apart.
"(Ah, she again?)"
"(Last year no A-rank valkyries appeared, it must be the same this year.)"
"(Is St. Freya school still needed today?)"
"(This girl is just wasting Schicksal's resources...)"
....
Even without speaking a word, she somehow still knew what they were currently thinking about her!
Indeed, her educational style that was too relaxed meant that many of the valkyries here did not maximize their potential. But, she was also at a loss as to what else to do!
Between her relaxed educational style, or Schicksal's very serious educational style. All of them have their own positive and negative effects!
She really was so confused!
"The thing I want is at least one A-rank valkyrie from my school this year... Just one... otherwise, I might not be able to raise my head again if I go to grandpa's place..."
Theresa sighed very sadly.
Cecilia tried to cheer her up: "It's okay Theresa-chan, don't worry. It's true that your style of education is too relaxed, but isn't it my job as deputy principal to correct your mistakes? So don't worry. This year there will definitely be an A-rank valkyrie appearing!"
"Cecilia..." Theresa was deeply moved.
Sit in the audience seats, and watch the valkyrie candidates in the practice arena, struggling to beat the Honkai beasts from the simulation results. The two of them watched for a bit, before Cecilia got up from her seat, and intended to leave.
"Already want to go? You don't want to see your kids perform first?"
Cecilia shook her head.
"There's nothing to watch. I really believe in the hard work they've done so far. Besides, I have to go home first and go to accompany Sirin."
As the only girl who doesn't have Kaslana's thick blood in her body, even though Sirin has very high Honkai resistance, she has no intention at all to become a warrior-type valkyrie.
She chose to become a logistics-type valkyrie.
Even though Cecilia didn't know why Sirin had chosen to become a logistics-type valkyrie, Cecilia still respected her choice.
What she can do as a mother is to accept, guide, and encourage what she currently chooses, so she won't regret it later.
"Theresa-chan, bye-bye~"
"Bye-bye Cecilia, have a good day!"
Waving her hand to Cecilia who slowly started to disappear from her sight. Theresa returned to her office, and she stretched her stiff body.
"Ah~! What a great day! It's perfect for reading the Homu adventure comic book I just ordered!"
Ignoring the fact that there are still many "documents" piled up on her desk. Taking advantage that Cecilia wasn't there to force her to work today, Theresa took out a key she had hidden in a secret place, and she opened her desk drawer with a crooked smile.
"Fufufu~ today nothing can stop me from relaxing~!"
Feeling the pleasure of a forbidden emotion because it has violated the norms of moral rules. Theresa opened her work drawer with a lecherous smile, but in the next second, she suddenly froze in place.
"Ah? Why is there a small cake here? is this mine? but I don't keep wet food in the drawer..."
Look at the little strawberry shortcake that sits on a small plate. Theresa found a letter next to it, and she opened the letter.
....
"[Theresa, happy birthday!]"
"[Even if it's a small gift, please accept it! Next time, I'll treat you to a big food together! Don't worry, you can certainly trust your good friend's firm promise!]"
[Apart from that, I wish you all the best. I hope, in the years to come, you can become a better self. Of course if you are tired and want to rest, you can always come to me. I will always be here. ]"
"[Then see you later Theresa-chan! I also asked for leave for 3 days, I hope you will understand.]"
"[From your best friend~]"
....
"Cecilia...."
See the happy birthday card Cecilia made. Theresa somehow felt very moved.
Apart from her grandfather always giving her happy birthday cards without fail, Cecilia was probably the second person to celebrate her birthday at this time.
This really touched the soft side of the deepest part of her heart.
She felt like crying.
"So!? Where's my Homu adventure comic book! The reason why you asked for three days off isn't because you stole all my comic books right!?!"
Searched for her comic books around her office, and searched every possible place for hiding. Theresa, who couldn't find any traces, finally had to accept the fact that her Homu comic book had really disappeared.
Theresa held her head in stress.
"CECILIA!!!!"
That day, on her birthday. Theresa experienced three very complicated feelings at the same time.
Happy to get a birthday cake from Cecilia, moved by the greeting of a happy birthday card, and angry to find that the Homu comic she had been saving for three months just disappeared.
Really Cecilia, you are truly my best friend!!
