Big, long, and veiny...

Looking at this woman, Kouro recalled Amber's explanation earlier.

She explained about the head of Nagamitsu St. Lab 1504, Elizabeth McSmith, but perhaps it was because that name was too common that she was better known by the name 'Nagamitsu', even though she was not Japanese.

"Yes. Wait, how did you know my name?" Kouro remembered he had arrived in Schicksal just a few hours ago.

"Overseer Otto has told me that there is a new man joining." Nagamitsu said as she folded her arms and looked at him up and down.

"I see, sorry to interrupt, I'm here to pick up the weapons and battlesuit..."

"Ah about that-"

"Nagamitsu-san, how- Oh am I bothering you guys?" said a girl who had just entered the lab.

Kouro turned to look at the girl before his eyebrows raised.

Looking at her beautiful and heroic-looking face with long blonde hair in ponytails and bright blue eyes like the sea.

Isn't she Durandal? Someone who was called the youngest and strongest S-rank Valkyrie.

Kouro didn't expect to see her here. What was she doing here?

Durandal was wearing a short white t-shirt and black hotpants, looking at the sweat pouring from her forehead, she seemed to have just finished exercising.

Nagamitsu shook her head, she looked at Durandal for a moment before looking back at Kouro.

"For weapons, you can choose them in that room over there." She pointed to a room that had the word [Armory room] written on it.

"But for the Battlesuit, we have to configure your body first before making a Battlesuit that fits you, it will take a few days. So, how about it? Do you want to pick up the weapons first?"

"No, Nagamitsu-san, I already have my own weapon. So can my body be configured now?"

"Sure. Follow me."

Kouro then looked at Durandal for a moment before asking, "What about her?"

"She's here for a routine check-up. By the way, Durandal, how about you get acquainted with this new guy who just joined?" Nagamitsu said.

They both stared at Nagamitsu for a moment before looking at each other.

"Hello, my name is Hanagami Kouro. I'm an A-Rank Einherjar, you can call me Kouro."

"My name is Bianka Ataegina, Valkyrie S-Rank, you can also call me Durandal. "

When the two of them shook hands, their movements stopped for a moment with only one thought in their minds.

'He's strong'

'She's strong.'

Kouro finally knew why Durandal was called the strongest S-Rank Valkyrie in Schicksal. He could feel the almighty power from Durandal's body.

'This energy feels familiar... Similar to Honkai energy, but more... Benign?'

He didn't know the right words to describe the energy he vaguely noticed from within Durandal's body, but from what he noticed the power seemed to be sealed.

Although he felt that Durandal's strength was not as strong as he was now, but if it was added with that sealed strength...

Kouro felt he would lose.

Similarly, Durandal, because of her sharp senses, could feel the terrifying power inside Kouro's body, this made her interested because that power was not aggressive.

"Are you done? Now follow me you two."

The two of them then followed Nagamitsu while chatting for a bit.

As someone who had just joined there were many questions Kouro wanted to ask and luckily Durandal was the right person.

And as an S-Rank Valkyrie, she must have had experience in the various missions that Schicksal issued.

After Kouro asked that, Durandal quickly answered his questions.

From what she said, there were 4 basic mission types and each mission had sub-missions.

There are escort, reconnaissance, exploration, and combat.

Each mission has its own Valkyrie specialist, for example, Durandal's team 'Immortal Blades' focuses on combat missions.

But the mission most often taken by the Valkyries is combat as it makes up most of the mission.

The missions also have their own difficulty which is classified using the same alphabet as the Valkyrie levels, there are C, B, A, S, and EX.

Mission C if used as an example in a combat mission is fighting against ordinary zombies.

Mission B in the case of a battle mission is fighting against Seraph-type Honkai Beasts.

And so on.

As for EX level missions... It is said that it was only released once, namely, when the Second Herrscher was born and almost destroyed the world, it can be said that EX missions were only released when humanity was endangered.

...

Nagamitsu stopped followed by the two of them, Kouro looked around, he saw several other researchers who were staring at another room separated by thick glass.

Inside the room, was a burning piece of flesh the size of a bus, the fire that burned the meat was purple in color... Wait? Purple!

Kouro stared at the piece of meat in astonishment, this fire... Isn't it the fire he released when fighting Chiyou? Is that fire still not extinguished even after almost 5 months have passed?!

Kouro was then thankful that he hadn't used that power against Sirin and Joyce.

Nagamitsu then turned around, she was wearing gold-encrusted monocle glasses on her right eye and looking at Kouro with a serious expression.

"Take off your clothes, Kouro."

"... "

Kouro glanced at Durandal and then glanced at several scientists who were looking at him with strange expressions after which he looked at Nagamitsu again.

"Here?"

"Yes," Nagamitsu said with a serious expression.

Seeing her serious eyes that were not playing, Kouro finally sighed helplessly and slowly took off his clothes Diavolo style.

After he took off his clothes the environment became quiet.

"Woah..." several scientists whispered with flushed faces after seeing Kouro's athletic body before their faces became even redder and smokier when they saw his protruding bottom.

Due to the increase in status, Kouro's "it" eventually became large so that even when it was not erect, it stood out.

It was like the core of a gravitational field because several scientists never turned their faces away.

Even Durandal who was beside him looked flushed, her hard-wrought mind seemed to have been shaken.

She almost thought there was a snake in Kouro's underwear.

'How come... It's so big...'

"It's... Bigger than my husband... " whispered one of the scientists with a red face.

(E/D: Ok! Stop! Stop right there! This starting to sound like some NTR shit!)

Seeing them like that, Kouro sighed sadly, his quiet life would definitely be shattered after this, he then turned to Nagamitsu.

She seemed to be looking at him calmly, seeing her like that Kouro nodded in agreement, as expected, as the chief researcher she was dedicated to her work.

"Nagamitsu-san, what should I do next?"

"... "

"Nagamitsu-san? " Seeing her standing like a statue with her eyes still staring at him, Kouro finally approached her and waved his hand in front of her eyes.

"... "

Seeing her still unresponsive other than a nose bleed, Kouro finally grabbed her shoulders and shook her body.

It seemed like this move worked because she finally responded, she blinked a few times and looked at his bottom for a moment before taking a few steps back.

"Are you okay?"

Nagamitsu clutched her chest which was beating rapidly, she took a deep breath trying to calm herself down.

'That was really dangerous, I almost couldn't control myself...'

"I'm fine... " She then glanced at the few scientists whose eyes never strayed from Kouro's thing.

Nagamitsu seemed to have a complicated expression before saying, "Follow me, it's a bit too crowded in here... "

She was seen entering a certain room followed by Durandal whose face looked red.

Looking at the two of them, Kouro shrugged and picked up his clothes on the floor before following them.

The room seemed to be Nagamitsu's private lab, looking around, he finally found a bed made of iron in the center of the room.

"Lie down there. "

Kouro calmly laid down on the bed, his body also appeared to have been fitted with electrodes all over.

Nagamitsu stood in front of a sophisticated computer with a serious expression, her hands typing furiously.

Not far from them, Durandal was seen sitting sweetly in the chair provided by Nagamitsu.

Looking at the data displayed on her computer, Nagamitsu's expression became so serious that he furrowed her brow.

'What monster... is this boy really human?'

The electrodes attached to Kouro's body served to see the Honkai energy he possessed so that it could be configured with the Battlesuit that would be made.

After all, if the Battlesuit is too weak then it cannot channel the user's Honkai energy then the Battlesuit would become a useless suit and if it is too strong it would corrode the user's Honkai energy due to the instability of the energy concentration.

Battlesuits are basically used to maximize the use of Honkai energy so as to increase the user's strength.

But Kouro is different, since he got the system his Honkai energy has been automatically used to the maximum whenever he uses his abilities.

But the thing that made Nagamitsu feel strange was that Kouro's Honkai energy had spread throughout his body as if it were protective armor, that's because she saw that Kouro didn't have any stigmata on his back.

If Kouro could see that energy, he would realize that it was his passive ability [Iron Body].

By the way, why Nagamitsu found it strange was that passively controlling Honkai energy was basically impossible, unless you learning a certain martial art, or you had a stigmata or you were an Herrscher.

The thought of Kouro being a Herrscher was immediately crossed out by Nagamitsu since even a Herrscher had a stigmata, then there was only one possibility which was that Kouro must have studied a certain martial art.

Thinking of this, she looked at Kouro and asked, "What type of battlesuit would you like to have?"

Hearing her question, Kouro rubbed his chin with a thinking expression.

'Cool looking? A flashy color? Something really strong?'

Kouro knew he didn't need any of that, he was more concerned with function than appearance hence he would choose...

But since he could choose both why not?

He enthusiastically said his Battlesuit type, and after a moment Nagamitsu looked at him strangely.

"So... You want your Battlesuit to be full armor, black with purple stripes, can be used anywhere, doesn't affect movement, waterproof, has a temperature control function... And doesn't tear easily?

"Yes!"

"You know... Your battlesuit type is a bit too bland, don't you want to reconsider?"

"No need! I have already decided!"

"Okay...  Your battlesuit will be finished in three days."

After doing some checks, the Battlesuit configuration was finally completed and Kouro quickly put his clothes back on.

He with a happy face then quickly said goodbye to Durandal and Nagamitsu.

Seeing him running quickly, Durandal and Nagamitsu let out a sigh of relief before looking at each other.

"... "

"Durandal-san do you want a photo of Kouro's long, big and veiny~?" Nagamitsu got the photo using her monocle glasses.

And how did she know that Kouro thing is long, big, and veiny... It's best that you don't know.

"What are you saying all of a sudden?! What's more, why do I need that photo of his t-thing?!" Durandal shouted with a red face either from anger or embarrassment...

She then covered her face with both hands before whispering, "...Send me the photo later, and...don't tell Rita."

"Understood." Nagamitsu smiled widely.

...

"Acho!" Kouro suddenly sneezed, he looked around in confusion, "Did someone think of me?"
