Hearing Himeko's words, Bella and the others stopped.
Bella looked at Himeko, who was walking towards them, somewhat puzzled, "Teacher Himeko, is something wrong?"
At this moment, Himeko also arrived in front of Bella and the others.
Waving her hand, Himeko said, "It's nothing much. You know that we tested the intensity of the Honkai energy in your body a while ago when you were unconscious, right?"
Bella nodded upon hearing this.
Last night, she heard Theresa say that she was now at the strength of a B-Rank Valkyrie.
"Although the energy in your body reached the standard of a B-Rank Valkyrie during the test, a Valkyrie's rating cannot be judged solely by this. It also depends on actual combat ability."
"Moreover, every Valkyrie's abilities are not entirely the same. This afternoon, while testing your abilities, we'll also take a look at what your abilities and fighting style are like. This way, you can understand your own abilities and we can determine your future training direction."
"So that's how it is."
Bella suddenly understood.
Indeed, although Bella felt that the concentration of Honkai energy in her body was barely approaching the standard of an A-rank Valkyrie, theory and practical combat were two different things.
After coming to this world, Bella hadn't had the chance to use her power until now.
Although in her previous life, Bella had also practiced Sanda and ancient martial arts.
However, now as a Valkyrie, the opponents Bella faced were not humans, but massive Honkai Beasts!
Moreover, in Bella's previous world, there was no such mysterious energy as Honkai energy.
"I can also use this opportunity to get a good understanding of my own power."
Thinking of this, Bella nodded to Himeko: "Okay, Teacher Himeko, I'll be there on time this afternoon."
After Himeko left, Kiana, who had heard the entire conversation from the side, leaned in: "Testing abilities, huh, Bella? How about I go with you this afternoon?"
Raiden Mei, who was beside them, tugged at Kiana upon hearing this: "Bella is going for serious business this afternoon, Kiana, why are you going to join the fun?"
"But I want to see what Bella's abilities are like! Aren't you curious, Mei?"
Don't tell me, Raiden Mei was indeed a little curious about what Bella's ability to materialize with Honkai energy was like.
After all, she had been with Bella for some time, but had never seen Bella in combat. It would be a lie to say she wasn't curious.
Just then, Bronya, who was beside them, raised her hand: "Bronya is also a little curious about what Bella looks like when she fights, so Bronya is also going this afternoon."
"Even Bronya? How about Class Monitor?"
Mei cast a pleading look at Fu Hua.
Seeing this, Fu Hua coughed twice: "Bella's simulated combat opponent this afternoon is me, so I will be going as well."
"Ah?"
Raiden Mei was dumbfounded. This was a path she had never imagined.
"Ahem, it's fine, Mei. Let's go together this afternoon. If you all go, I can just ask you on the spot if I have any questions during the assessment."
Bella waved to Raiden Mei. If Kiana and the others wanted to go, then they could go together. It was just a test anyway, nothing troublesome.
"But, but..."
"Oh, there's no 'but'. Bella is hungry, let's hurry to the dorm, otherwise Bella will miss the afternoon test."
Beside them, Bella, who was being a quiet beautiful girl: ?
Seeing that Raiden Mei seemed to want to say something more, Kiana directly pulled Raiden Mei's hand and rushed out.
"Bella, you guys hurry up too."
Kiana's voice came from afar.
Seeing this, Bella shrugged.
One could only say it was indeed Kiana.
In the afternoon, Bella and her group arrived at Theresa's School Director's office.
Himeko also arrived almost at the same time, meeting Bella and the others at the door.
"You're here, let's go in then."
Himeko seemed to have anticipated that Kiana and the others would come to join the fun, so she didn't ask why Kiana and the others were there.
She pushed open the door to the School Director's office.
That is,
Bella's nostrils twitched slightly.
How come I seem to smell alcohol?
Bella eyed Himeko, who had just pushed open the door in front of her, with suspicion.
Surely, no teacher would run off to drink right after class in broad daylight, right?
"Teacher Himeko, did you drink?"
Hearing Bella's question, which was a question but with a very certain tone, Himeko's door-pushing motion stiffened.
"Eh, did Teacher Himeko secretly drink again?"
The others were very surprised to hear this. She had just had a bottle of alcohol confiscated by Theresa yesterday, and she still had more?
"H-how could that be?"
Himeko chuckled awkwardly.
But everyone looked at her with suspicious eyes. At first, they were just suspicious, but seeing Himeko's guilty look...
Seeing this, Himeko coughed twice: "Ahem, let's not talk about this. It's getting late, let's go in quickly."
Everyone looked at Himeko, who was clumsily changing the subject. Well, it was confirmed.
At this moment, Himeko had already hurriedly pushed open the School Director's office door and walked in.
This, no knocking?
Bella and the others exchanged glances.
But seeing that Himeko had already gone in, Bella and the others had no choice but to follow.
"Theresa, Theresa, eh, where's Theresa?"
Himeko was a little puzzled. Why didn't she see Theresa? Was she not here?
"Ah, why didn't you knock!"
At this moment, Bella and the others had also entered and looked towards the source of the sound.
A small white head suddenly popped up from the previously empty table.
It turned out that Theresa had just been sitting on the chair, but her body was sprawled on the table, and due to her height, she was blocked by the documents in front of the table.
That's why Himeko and Bella hadn't seen Theresa when they first came in.
At this moment, Theresa seemed to be flustered by Bella and the others' sudden entry, but her hand seemed to be quietly pushing something under the documents on the table, as if using the documents on the table to cover something so that Kiana and the others couldn't see it.
However, how could Theresa's little movements escape Bella's 24k titanium alloy eyes? Bella's direction happened to not be blocked by any documents. Bella narrowed her eyes and looked closely.
Uh, a comic book with a yellow, big-eyed doll on the cover appeared in Bella's view. Next to the doll on the comic cover, it also said "The Story of Homu and Me That Must Be Told."
What kind of comic is this? Bella fell into contemplation.
At this moment, Himeko, who heard Theresa's voice, finally saw Theresa: "Theresa, so you were here. I thought you weren't."
"Ahem, of course I'm here."
While replying to Himeko, Theresa was also secretly observing Kiana and the others' expressions.
When she found that they had no reaction, Theresa breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, good thing I wasn't caught by the students secretly reading Homu comics at work. My School Director's dignity is preserved."
However, when Theresa's gaze swept towards Bella, she found that Bella's eyes were fixed, staring straight at the desktop.
Following Bella's gaze.
Uh, only then did Theresa realize that there were no documents between Bella's direction and herself to block Bella's sight.
In other words, all her little movements just now were exposed under Bella's gaze.
Thinking of this, Theresa's small face instantly turned red, white smoke emerged from her head, and she instantly turned into a steamed Theresa.
But the School Director's dignity still had to be maintained. Under Bella's direct gaze, Theresa picked up a document and directly covered the comic in front of Bella, which was somewhat like burying one's head in the sand.
Bella looked at Himeko, who went drinking right after class and drank until work, and then looked at Theresa, who secretly read Homu comics at work and still maintained her dignity by burying her head in front of the piles of paperwork even after being discovered.
Can such a school still be saved?
