Seeing the clear blue sky, and hearing the commotion of the students outside the building. Cheng Lixue could only sigh tiredly.
As a Valkyrie who was said to be second only to Cecilia, she would never have guessed that she would one day become a teacher at the St. Freya academy.
It all started when she woke up from her long sleep due to disease stigmata.
She had heard that not only she afflicted with this disease, but that many of the valkyries who had participated in the second Honkai war had also contracted the disease as she had.
She couldn't describe how she felt at that moment, knowing that she had been asleep for almost 12 years.
Can you imagine the feeling of a teenage girl, after waking up from her sleep, and the next day she can already be called aunt by others?
It was so absurd that it didn't even feel real. She e almost even suspected that she had strayed into the bubble world back then.
Even though Schicksal now possessed cryogenic technology that could stunt their growth in body age, the quota was still small, and only a few A-rank valkyries bound by Schicksal contracts managed to obtain the quota.
She is one of those lucky people.
However, this is not a body problem anymore. It's just a sense of morality and logic.
Even though her current body was truly as young as it used to be. for some reason she now feels very old.
When she woke up and strolled through the halls of Schicksal's headquarters, she could see many valkyries who had suddenly retired with resignation due to old age.
She felt that time was very cruel.
No matter how strong one was, in the face of the ever-turning-forward of time, all that was left would only be the ashes of history.
Although she was very confused at the time, feeling elated by their victory in the second honkai war, and saddened by the sudden realization that she had grown old. The first thing she wanted to do after waking up was to find her master.
But...
No matter how much she visited every ward in the sanitarium room. She still hadn't found her master figure at all.
Miss Amber says that her current Master is still roaming the shenzhou in search of her lost memories, and they promise to find her as soon as possible.
During that time, she would be temporarily dismissed from her duties as a valkyrie, and she would be given an extended vacation to become a teacher at the St. Freya academy.
Honestly, rather than being called a vacation, it's like being given the task of infiltration in a different fashion.
At least that was what Cheng Lixue thought herself.
There were several surveillance subjects that Overseer Otto gave her.
First is Wendy. a valkyrie who came from the Oceania branch, and was the former vessel of the gem of desire a week ago.
After Schicksal managed to find a stable container to hold the gem of desire a week ago. Wendy, who was a humanoid jewel storage, became useless.
She transferred to St. Freya, and became a student there to restore her slightly damaged mental state. She is on a list that needs to be watched carefully to see if she has the potential to become a Herrscher in the future, or not.
Through gradual observation. According to Cheng Lixue herself, Wendy is a friendly girl.
Even though their meeting felt so bleak and awkward. When you get to know her further, you will understand that she is just a little girl who has a dark past.
There's nothing special.
Relaxing time at St. Freya will surely erode her gloomy past bit by bit. Cheng Lixue is very optimistic about her recovery.
However, she is a good girl.
Nothing to worry about.
Furthermore, the object of surveillance she needed to pay attention to was in the class next door.
Murata Himeko's class.
Kiana, Thea, Aurora, and Sirin.
Cecilia's four daughters were objects of surveillance that Overseer Otto had emphasized to secretly watch over.
Especially for girls who have purple eyes. Overseer Otto made great demands on records of her daily life in great detail.
Cheng Lixue, who had just experienced a life transformation, and was sitting on her own teacher's bench, admitted that her heart was really very tired right now.
"Is Overseer so sure that it's the purple-eyed girl who needs to be watched? Why do I feel that this purple-haired girl is more dangerous? This must be a miscommunication!"
Cheng Lixue who saw Sirin's photo on her desk, slammed the desk down hard.
Granted, most people wouldn't know the true figure of the second Herrscher, as they had no facial records at all in their database.
But, as someone who almost died being stabbed by her spear, and as someone who made her master use a forbidden move and caused her to lose her memory. Cheng Lixue would never forget this purple-haired girl even if she turned to ashes.
"What's going on? It's rare to see you suddenly get angry just like that. I thought you wouldn't be able to get angry."
"Himeko-sensei..."
"Don't call me that, aren't you a teacher too? It feels so weird when you address me with a title like that. You can call me Himeko."
"Ah... I'm really sorry for my rudeness."
Cheng Lixue lowered her head in apology. She was completely unfamiliar with her current status and age.
In shenzhou, they are used to being taught to be polite to those who are older than them. Now, is it time for young people to respect her?
This really made her feelings very complicated.
"Himeko, I want to ask you a few things."
"Yes? Just tell me what you need. I'll help you any way I can." Himeko held her waist very confidently.
As a new fellow teacher at St. Freya, helping each other is the guide to survival here.
Himeko had implemented every teaching of Ragna when she was in the Stroomper Squad as flexible as possible.
"I heard your class has four daughters Cecilia in the same class. What do you think of them?"
Hearing Cheng Lixue's question, Himeko's mouth twitched slightly.
She didn't expect that Cheng Lixue, who had such a gentle figure, would be tempted to gossip.
Actually, she had already been asked by many ex-valkyries when they found out that her class had all of Cecilia's daughters.
However, in the hearts of these valkyries, Cecilia was a role model, and a memorable hero of history in the depths of their hearts.
The reason why many ex-valkyries took the initiative to become school staff, was also because they knew that Cecilia was already the vice principal here.
As a very popular Valkyrie, of course their daughter would also be popular.
"About them...."
Himeko closed her eyes to recall the lesson she delivered earlier this afternoon.
"Of Cecilia's four daughters, the three identical triplets are the most eye-catching. They really have their own personality."
"Kiana is a girl I can easily remember. However, after I let go of my watch for 5 minutes, this girl was already sleeping soundly on her desk."
"Then there's Aurora. She has a very indifferent personality to her surroundings. I even doubt whether she heard what I just taught her, or not."
Himeko sighed wearily.
"Maybe the good thing is Thea and Sirin's personality. They both act like nice girls, and didn't cause any trouble for me."
"But for some reason I feel that the girl named Thea always exudes hostility towards me. I myself am confused, when have I ever offended her?"
"To you girls I'm a very lucky person to be able to teach the four daughters of the legendary Cecilia. But for me, I only see three potential trouble-making kids."
Himeko sat down on a chair of her own, and she took out a wine bottle that she had kept in the drawer.
"After all, we all have a long way to go to become qualified teachers. For something like that, let's leave it to those of us in the future!"
"Cheng Lixue, want a drink together?"
Himeko smiled broadly.
Don't care about what will happen in the future. All she knew right now, when she was drunk, then she would forget all kinds of problems.
Forgetting everything, means the same as being happy!
Praise the goddess of wine!
