Theresa's eyes lit up.
……
The next morning, all the teachers and students of the school as well as the main force of the Far East branch Valkyries gathered in the audience at the Grand Square of St. Freya.
On the stage, Theresa stood behind the podium, with her feet on a small stool that only she could see, and solemnly read out Angie's promotion notice:
"…Based on the above performances, with the joint recommendation of the Far East Branch of the Mandate and St. Freya Academy, and with the approval of the Mandate Headquarters and the approval of the Archbishop of the Mandate, the Valkyrie Angel is now granted the title of S-level Valkyrie and the corresponding permissions!"
Theresa edited the notification.
The main thing is to add a joint recommendation from the Far East Branch and Saint Freya.
The purpose is of course very obvious, to emphasize that An Qi is her person, not someone from the headquarters.
Even if other branches were brave enough, they would never dare to try this tactic, because Otto's rule was never a joke.
But Theresa had no problem, because her last name was Apokalis, and she was the only Apokalis besides Otto Apokalis. She had the courage, and no one dared to say it was wrong.
"Now, in the name of the Far East Branch Chief, I would like to invite S-rank Valkyrie Angel to stay in our Far East Branch. Let's work together to fight the collapse. Valkyrie Angel, are you willing?"
Theresa released her second round of ultimate moves.
First, they emphasized Angie's affiliation, then invited her directly, and then legitimately kept Angie in the Far East, completely cutting her off from the headquarters and Otto. In this way, Angie would obey Otto's orders and avoid Otto's harm to Angie to the greatest extent possible.
Similarly, only Theresa can use this trick. Anyone else would be seeking their own death.
Chapter 397 Don’t be afraid, it’s not me who can’t come back
S-class Valkyries are extremely rare and high-level combatants.
When the heads of the major branches die, there will always be someone to take their place.
If the S-class combat power is gone, it is gone. There is no such thing as a replacement. It is normal for a person to have one or even no S-class destiny. Even Kaslana and Shaniat, who have excellent bloodlines, cannot produce S-class combat power regularly.
Therefore, the S-level permissions are extremely high, including the power to choose a branch - please note, it is the power to choose a branch, not the power to submit a resume to a branch and then wait for a reply. The two are fundamentally different.
At this moment, the Far East Branch sent out an invitation.
"Valkyrie Angel is willing to stand with the Far East Branch and fight to protect the world!"
Angel stood on the stage, beating her chest and leaning forward, exuding a strong and cold aura. Her childish and cold voice spread throughout the entire venue under the influence of powerful destructive energy.
She accepted the invitation.
Everything is in order.
From then on, she obtained the S-level authorization, but Otto could not give her orders directly, so Theresa had to take most of the orders.
Simply perfect!
"Lord Anqi..."
"Mr. Anqi, I am your classmate. We chatted when I first entered school!"
"What a strong aura, worthy of being an S-rank."
"Our Far East branch now has its own S-rank!"
"Plus, Principal Theresa is a former S-rank. Doesn't that mean that we are almost the same as the Oceania branch which has two S-ranks? We can both be considered the strongest branch?"
"Lord Anqi! Lord Anqi!"
There was silence for a few seconds after the ceremony, and then the noise of the crowd grew louder and louder, and soon it was a thunderous applause for Angel.
S-rank is a dream for most Valkyries, and is full of charm that outsiders cannot imagine.
This gave Anqi, who was already delicate, cute and attractive, a shining aura of charm.
The national idol is nothing more than this.
……
"Tsk! It's just an S-rank cricket, what's the big deal?"
In the distance, Kiana looked at the crowd surrounding Angel with her mouth pouting.
Although she was really happy for Angie, Kiana was also really jealous of the scene of being surrounded by thousands of people. When she thought about what it would be like if she was standing on the stage, tears of emotion were about to flow from the corners of her mouth.
"Kiana, you also have this potential. As long as you keep working hard, I believe you will be able to do it sooner or later."
"Of course, I am the kind of person who can do anything I want! Yulandel, you guys who got there first just wait for me, I will definitely catch up!"
Kiana quickly became optimistic again and patted her chest confidently.
Yulandel smiled, and in her crystal gem-like eyes there was a fondness that she herself had not even noticed.
Then, she turned to Angie who was dealing with the crowd on the stage, and couldn't help but think of how she was treated when she just became S-rank, and at the same time she sincerely wished Angie well.
As upright as she was, she did not realize that this ceremony reflected the Far East branch's distrust of the headquarters. She just really wanted to make a decision and was happy that the anti-collapse cause had one more banner, that's all.
"But does this mean that she really doesn't have to go to class? Mei, I'm glad you're with me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go to class alone!"
"..."
"Mei?"
Kiana's congratulations did not receive a response from Mei Raiden. She turned her head to look at her lover, but saw a hint of embarrassment on Mei Raiden's face.
Suddenly, Kaslana's ancestral super intuition made Kiana's heart skip a beat.
Raiden Mei scratched her face, pouting, and said embarrassedly:
"Well, Kiana, I just submitted an application for early graduation. I think my grades in theory and practical courses should have met the requirements, so..."
In theory classes, Mei Raiden has always been an excellent student, and she has mastered everything she should know.
As for the practical class——if you can't even pass the Herrscher of Thunder, then Saint Freya is not the Valkyrie Academy, but the Hero Academy.
Kiana's pupils shrank.
"Bronya has graduated, Angie has also reached S-rank, and the class leader has also been promoted to S-rank, which means she has graduated. If Mei graduates early, then I will be the only one left? What about my homework?!"
Kiana held her head in fear, then showed an extremely determined expression:
"Then I'll apply for early graduation too!"
"You failed half of your last theory class, and although you completed your most recent assignment, it was not outstanding."
Ji Zi crossed her arms and stated the reality coldly.
Kiana's eye twitched.
"...Can you please give me a special approval? I am a Herrscher."
"It's funny. You make it sound like every student of mine is a Herrscher."
Ji Zi sneered.
Kiana quickly pointed to the beautiful girl with the double spiral hair next to her:
"That's not the case with Bronya!"
Bronya turned her head towards Angel and said: "???"
Ji Zi sneered again and said:
"But he was calm and clear-headed during combat, and he completed every mission perfectly."
"I...I...I don't accept it!"
"Alright, then let Yulandel be your examiner. Yulandel, you don't mind, do you?"
Himeko knew that she could no longer deal with Kiana, or in other words, apart from Theresa, St. Freya Academy simply could not muster the fighting power to deal with Kiana, so she decisively introduced foreign aid.
Yulandel nodded seriously.
"Okay. I will carefully examine Kiana's qualifications."
"Hey! Don't do that. How can I possibly pass the Yulandel test?"
"Continue studying or let Yulandel take the test. It's your choice."
Jizi smiled and patted Kiana's head, making a juicy sound like a pumpkin egg.
This child never learned to use his brain during a mission. Maybe Kaslana's style is reckless, but as a teacher, Jizi can't accept an immature child stepping into a real battlefield.
"Just think of it as me being willful, Kiana. Stay as a student for a while longer and work on your temper."
Jizi looked a little disappointed.
She thought of the Valkyrie Chargers of those days.
She didn't want to see the same thing happen to her students - whether as victims or as survivors left behind, she didn't want her students to experience it.
"Himeko."
"I will study hard and do my job well."
"Ok?"
Jizi saw Kiana suddenly hold her hand, and from her palm, she felt the child's hot temperature.
Also, this statement is really not Kiana's style!
But Kiana's eyes were clear, there was no joking in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was serious.
So, is this kid noticing his emotions? Or is he just thinking about it on his own?
"You've grown up a bit, Kiana."
Jizi smiled with relief.
……
"Alas, my good granddaughter is getting more and more rebellious as she grows up. Look, I just awarded Angie the S-rank, and she couldn't wait to become a member of the Far East Branch."
Otto handed the live broadcast screen to Yaesakura, with a depressed expression of an old man who was hurt by a rebellious child.
"Look, Kiana, Angie, and Raiden Mei have three Herrschers, and they are secretly communicating with Anti-Entropy through Bronya... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, before we know it, she has gathered a force that can challenge the headquarters!"
"So, are you proud or sad, Mr. Otto?"
Yaesakura looked at the sadness on Otto's face, then at the smile in his eyes, and blinked innocently.
Otto finally smiled.
"I want to remind you that if you want to be an archbishop, you have to pay attention to my rebellious granddaughter. If she doesn't obey you, the destiny may be split directly."
"...I think you should reflect on your own problems in this matter."
Yaezakura said quietly.
Otto's smile remained unchanged. He knew that it was his own fault, and to some extent, if Yaezakura took over, the contradiction might be resolved directly.
Yaesakura shrank her neck, feeling a little PTSD, and said weakly:
"You, are you not going to play a trick on me again?"
"How could that be? I'm planning to pass on the title of Archbishop to you, and you still don't believe me?"
"There you go again. Every time you say something like that, you're causing me trouble. You better be more direct, Mr. Otto."
Yaesakura puffed up her face, her eyes dim, and she looked helpless as if she had been tricked.
"Go to the Far East on my behalf. As my favorite successor, it would be good for you to communicate with the Far East branch in advance. Also, help me bring the Herrscher Core to Angie as a reward for her. Finally, help me invite Angie and K4 - Kiana, and tell them that I have invited them to come and visit us."
"Why me?"
"Because if I go, my vigilant granddaughter might lead the Far East Branch in rebellion right there and then."
Otto drank his tea calmly and elegantly while making dangerous inferences that could scare a bunch of Valkyries to death.
"...You've already said that there are three Herrschers in the Far East, and with the addition of Taixu Mountain, aren't you afraid that Youlandel and I won't be able to come back?"
"Don't worry, it's not like I can't come back anyway."
Otto drank his tea and crossed his legs leisurely.
Veins popped out on Yaesakura's forehead:
"Oh! Sir!"
"Hahaha! Right, right, keep this dissatisfaction! As long as you carry this dissatisfaction with me with you, I believe you will have a very pleasant communication with them!"
The man smiled brightly and even clapped his hands, as if he was praising Yaesakura's quick wit - he simply didn't care about his dignity anymore.
