Chapter 17: Saint Freya's Opening
The main body is composed of a complex of luxurious buildings like a palace in the center, and various facilities are spread all around.
'I have to say, this St. Freya Academy is really exaggeratedly large as it was decided and funded by Otto himself.'
Even the so-called aristocratic school, Chiba Academy, cannot be compared with this place and pales in comparison.
In the Far East, where the land area is not very large, such a huge area can be divided out, which shows the power of Schicksal.
"Hey, Kirataka!"
At this moment, a full of energy voice came from behind him.
"What are you doing, Miss Kiana?"
Kirataka turned around slowly and saw Kiana pulling Mei onto the deck.
"We have agreed to Theresa's terms and are going to study at St. Freya's Academy. What about you?"
Kiana asked.
Although she had never heard of the name of St. Freya Academy before and had never seen the little girl named Theresa, the other party did offer her an offer that she could not refuse.
——If Kiana can reach at least the level of an A-rank Valkyrie, Theresa will tell her the whereabouts of Kiana's father, Siegfried.
For Kiana, who had been wandering and looking for her father, this was an offer that she could not refuse.
Moreover, Chiba Academy is now completely destroyed, and she has to "look for the next home."
As for Mei, there is naturally no need to mention her.
After her consciousness awoke, she had already glimpsed the hell on earth in Nagazora City and felt extremely guilty about it.
Theresa and Himeko promised to monitor her condition to ensure that she does not go berserk again.
Of course, in Kirataka's opinion, everything in Nagazora City should be blamed on that old witch Cocolia.
"Of course, I will enter St. Freya's Academy. After all... I don't have anywhere else to go."
Kirataka replied with a low laugh.
Although Raven once offered to introduce him to the World Serpent, this side is still better.
After what happened at Chiba Academy, he became acquainted with these two girls.
"Yeah, then remember to help us when we clean the room!"
Kiana said with a grin.
"...Can I refuse?"
Kirataka's mouth twitched slightly.
If it was an ordinary room it would be fine, but Kiana, Mei, and the others are about to move into Aunt Himeko's dormitory.
A room where an older single woman has lived for a long time... the miserable condition is so terrible that it is unbearable to even imagine it.
This kind of blessing should be left to the three great families who plan to live there.
"How could you have the heart to reject Mei? You've bullied her so much!"
The white-haired girl used the black purple-haired girl next to her as a shield.
"Well..."
He was speechless for a moment.
This trick always works. Kirataka changed his tone to a gentle one and asked the black purple-haired girl beside him:
"Do you need my help, Mei?"
"If you're willing to help... when it's over, stay there and have dinner with us."
Mei said in a low voice.
Compared to Kiana, who is lively and a little devilish, Mei is more considerate and has a kind of Yamato Nadeshiko-like gentleness.
Compared with the somewhat wild personality of the Herrscher of Thunder, it is completely different.
"Well, I'll go help you guys once I'm settled."
Kirataka nodded.
'I don't know if Mei herself knew that Kiana "pressed his head," but elder sister Lei Lu must have known about it.'
'Speaking of that Herrscher girl...'
After that "close contact," the Herrscher of Thunder's stigma personality disappeared temporarily and had no plans to come out again.
Although Kirataka wanted to call her out to say something, there seemed to be no corresponding way to call her.
Anyway, let's leave it like this for now...
After talking with the two girls for a while, Hyperion was about to complete its landing and was preparing to stop in the academy.
As survivors of the disaster, they had no luggage to pack, so they walked towards the corridor of the warship empty-handed.
On the way, he saw the last survivor.
A petite girl with silver hair and twin ponytails.
"…"
"…"
The two looked at each other and neither of them spoke.
In Kirataka's opinion, she probably sneaked in by following Cocolia's orders.
The same destination came from different paths. This girl who secretly hid her identity finally arrived at St. Freya Academy.
Although she is still blindly following Cocolia's orders, Kirataka still knows that her nature is not bad.
After all, she and Cocolia are not on the same path, and they will inevitably go their separate ways one day in the future.
Kirataka noticed that Bronya was holding another Homu doll in her hands.
"Your Homu doll..."
He asked curiously.
'Wasn't it given to Sora?'
"Bronya has a lot of spare Homu."
The silver-haired girl hugged the yellow doll tightly in her arms and answered calmly.
However, the look in her eyes when she looked at Kirataka was a little strange, and no one knew what she was thinking.
——It was because of him that all the tactical mechas sent out by Cocolia's mother were destroyed, and the plan to recover Raiden Mei in Nagazora City failed.
Therefore, Bronya had no choice but to follow the original second plan and sneak onto the Hyperion as a survivor.
However, according to her understanding, this group of people from the Far East Branch did not intend to send Raiden Mei to a laboratory in Satori but instead planned to take her to St. Freya Academy for training.
After reporting the situation to Cocolia's mother, she also issued an order: requiring Bronya to also infiltrate as a student and wait for the opportunity to make plans.
If the goal is to transport Raiden Mei to Schicksal's laboratory in another country, there will be many opportunities for Cocolia to take action.
But if it is St. Freya Academy, it would not be so easy to act halfway.
——The distance between Nagazora City and St. Freya Academy is not far. If she wants to mobilize troops to intercept them halfway, the success rate is not high.
Moreover, according to Bronya's feedback, Theresa, who has the strength of an S-class Valkyrie, is also above Hyperion. After repeated consideration, Cocolia decided to push forward the node of capturing Raiden Mei.
In short, after a brief contact, Bronya quickly got to know Mei and Kiana.
Kiana looked like just a fool, but Mei was very gentle, completely different from what she had imagined a Herrscher to be like.
In addition... she also received another task.
Bronya looked up at Kirataka, who was walking a little ahead.
That is to observe the man in front of him... and find out where his power, which is similar to that of the Third Herrscher, comes from.
