"Ab-Abyss Pre-registration?…" Li Xuan frowned, repeating the words in confusion. The Abyss… was it the Abyss competition with a prize that Theresa mentioned?
"Yeah!…" Kiana said with a triumphant look on her face. "Do you know what the prize for this Abyss competition is? Hehe!~"
"Huh? What is it?…" Li Xuan asked curiously, looking at Kiana's smug face.
"Ahem… Since you asked so sincerely…" Kiana crossed her arms and said with a tsundere expression. "Then I'll be merciful and tell you!…"
"..." Why does this line sound so familiar… Li Xuan looked speechlessly at the certain white-haired furball.
"It's actually a very rare weapon…" Kiana suddenly leaned in and whispered. "I heard it's a new weapon from the 'Divine Throne' series released by 'Schicksal'!"
"..." Li Xuan looked completely bewildered. He had just arrived at the academy and didn't quite understand what the so-called 'Divine Throne' series weapons were…
"Kiana… where did you hear that? Is it true…?" Li Xuan remained skeptical about the reliability of the white-haired furball's information. After all, among the Honkai yuri trio, Kiana was the most unreliable…
"It's true! I got this information out of Great-Auntie Theresa by clinging to her leg!" Kiana said with a hint of pride, puffing out her chest.
"..." You've worked hard, Principal Theresa… Li Xuan felt a bit embarrassed just thinking about that scene…
"It's said… the weapon is related to a 'dragon'!…" Kiana continued to spoil. "Oh, right, right… I heard that the first-place student can also make a reasonable request to Great-Auntie Theresa."
"A request…" Li Xuan's eyes lit up… If that's possible, then couldn't he ask for.
"Teacher Kiana… can you tell me what the 'Infinite Abyss' is?" Li Xuan said with a fawning smile.
"Ahem…" Kiana paused. As a poor student, she felt an inexplicable sense of superiority… Kiana once again put on a tsundere smile and held her head high. "..We-well, it's not impossible…"
..................….
"Take care, Kiana~" Li Xuan said with a smile, waving goodbye to Kiana outside the door. Then… he closed the door without hesitation…
"…So this Abyss isn't that easy after all…" Li Xuan stroked his chin, a grave expression on his face as he muttered to himself.
According to Kiana's description, the 'Infinite Abyss'… was a special place at St. Freya High School, or rather, a huge room…
St. Freya High School used supercomputer calculations and a thousand years of accumulated data on Honkai Beasts and Honkai Zombies, combined with virtual simulation technology and reading the challenger's brainwaves, to conduct simulated battles…
This way, they could simulate various Honkai Zombies and Honkai Beasts for combat in the room. Moreover, because it directly reads brainwaves, the challenger's battle against the simulated enemies is also a real physical exertion, fighting against non-existent foes… In other words… Valkyries would also feel tired from the battles.
So the 'Infinite Abyss' is actually a rather tall tower… The Abyss combat room actually has seven floors. Below the bottom-most combat room are all sorts of precision instruments. Schicksal relies on these instruments, which integrate almost all of humanity's 'wisdom', to achieve a realistic effect. To even prevent some overly powerful students, an energy shield that is like a physical barrier appears on the floor of the Abyss challenge room after it opens, preventing students from destroying the various instruments underneath.
And for first-year students like Li Xuan and the others, the 'Abyss' competition this time would only be held on the lowest floor of the 'Infinite Abyss'—the 'Howling Abyss'.
"No… to get first place, I must become stronger…" Li Xuan felt that his strength was still not enough. There were so many new students at St. Freya High School… who knew if there would be any dark horses. Just Kiana, Mei, and even Bronya would be tough to deal with!
".It seems I have to prepare for another wish." Li Xuan felt that he was still lacking suitable weapons. He always felt that among his few weapons, apart from 'Tyr's Warblade', the others would be quite difficult to use against a large number of Honkai Zombies and Honkai Beasts…
But he couldn't just leave the academy now. If he made a wish inside St. Freya High School, and then the ten-pull guarantee resulted in a golden beam of light shooting into the sky, heaven knows what would happen to him after he finished his wish. There was a high chance he would die a miserable death, right?!
So, there was no other way. At this time, he could only find the omnipotent (and cutest) Principal Theresa and ask her to help find a place that could block Honkai energy reactions. Otherwise, he would be discovered by the academy before he even started his wish.
"Sigh~" Li Xuan felt a headache coming on. What can I do, I'm also very desperate!
"Liv… I'm going out for a bit." Li Xuan stood at the entrance and didn't bother going inside. He bent down to put on his shoes while shouting to Liv inside the room.
Without waiting for Liv's reply, Li Xuan opened the door and stepped out of the dormitory room again…
Although St. Freya High School in winter wasn't as cold as the great northeast of Huaxia, the temperature had magically dropped to around ten degrees. Li Xuan tightened the hand-knitted scarf around his neck, exhaled a puff of white mist, and strode towards the office of a certain white-haired loli nun.
The evergreen trees along the dormitory corridor rustled in the gentle breeze…
