บท 143: Chapter 143: "Get a Mission"

Team up with Kiana, and get a gullible teammate. Bronya's priority right now was to find a way out of this place as soon as possible.

Following each subject as usual, following the laws of the Romans. When the afternoon came, and the last subject finally started. Bronya sat on her seat quietly together with Kiana.

"Good afternoon girls, please take your seats. It's time for our history lesson to begin."

Seeing the familiar figure of a blonde haired woman, and her all-military green outfit. Bronya became speechless.

"(Matushka Cocolia? In this world, matushka becomes a Valkyrie?)"

Bronya becomes completely amazed at what a plot twist this world is. Parallel worlds, really anything can be anything!

"Bronya, why are you looking at me like that. Besides, Kiana, do you have a problem with me?"

Bronya raised her eyebrows in confusion, and she noticed that Kiana who was sitting next to her was grinding her teeth tightly.

At a glance, those were eyes filled with rage.

"Kiana, this Cocolia is not the Cocolia we know."

"I know it's Bronya. That's why I'm currently holding back!"

Bronya: "...."

It seems... Kiana has pretty good self-control.

Bronya was amazed.

"Alright you two, stop looking at me like that. You two are making this class feel weird."

"Ehem! Where should we start... Right, let's start from the last subject matter about the history of the second honkai eruption. Anyone want to tell us what it is about?"

Realizing that Cocolia started her history class. As an example of a good student, Bronya raised her hands high for answer.

"The second honkai war took place in Siberia, and the second Herrscher was born there. The war between the honkai and the valkyries also caused many casualties, and a natural disaster that befell the whole world. It was the most terrible disaster ever known to mankind."

Cocolia nodded her head in satisfaction: "Good Bronya, looks like you've read it beforehand. It's just that you're not quite right."

"When the second honkai eruption occurred, Schicksal responded quickly, and they managed to disable a second Herrscher within 22 hours. Halting the potential for a second Herrscher to cause further damage."

"In addition, the contribution of the snow wolf squad led by Cecilia Schariac, an S-rank valkyrie also played a very important role in the second honkai eruption."

"They evacuated many civilians and people present in the surrounding towns. Without them, the damage caused by the second honkai eruption would have been very difficult to recover."

"I'm also one of the people she saved."

"Although after that the snow wolf squad was charged with disobedience by Schicksal for doing something that went against the orders given. But I think, they have done something right."

"Valkyries have the right to have their own judgment, or else they will just end up being meaningless tools."

"I believe that everyone present here understands this. Or else you wouldn't be enrolling here, the school institute founded by lady Cecilia right?"

All students: "YES!!!"

Realizing that the history of this world is different from their original world. Even though Bronya was surprised, she still listened intently to Cocolia's lecture.

Changed history, means new clues.

For Kiana herself...

Since Cocolia brought up the second honkai war, she sat quietly without making a sound, and she stared ahead with focus.

No one knew what she was thinking right now.

Time passed quickly, and Cocolia's lesson was finally over.

"The bell has rung, and that's a sign that today's lesson is over. Remember to study harder for your exams next week."

Watching all of her classmates slowly leave, heading back to their dorms. Bronya, who wanted to find out more about the truth of this world, began to slowly walk towards Cocolia.

"Matus-Ahem! Teacher Cocolia."

"Hm? What's wrong Bronya. Is there something you want to ask?"

Bronya nodded her head: "Yeah, why did teacher Cocolia become a valkyrie?"

Hearing what Bronya said, Cocolia smiled, and she rubbed her head gently.

"You must be interested in what I said before. As for your answer... I don't really know either."

"I was born in a Siberian orphanage, and my goal was just to survive."

"When I am able, I will probably join the army or build an orphanage to help children who suffer the same fate as me. Think of it as hypocritical kindness."

Bronya raised her eyebrows: "Bronya doesn't think it's hypocritical. Bronya is very sure that the feelings Cocolia gives are not a lie at all."

Hearing this, Cocolia laughed: "Haha, Really? Then thanks for speaking up for me, Bronya. I feel happy."

"In any case, if I were currently asked to choose between founding an orphanage, or becoming a valkyrie, I would probably choose the latter."

Bronya was confused: "Why?"

Cocolia smiled: "There are many ways to deliver bread and shelter to people in need. But this is all that the valkyrie of St. Freya can provide."

"Hope, and freedom."

"I learned this from principal Cecilia during the war."

"I know a little about your unpleasant past before you came here Bronya. But no matter what happened in the past, it is in the past."

"This is St. Freya's academy. You don't have to obey orders from others. Enjoy college life, make new friends, and think about your future."

"Can you do it, Bronya?"

"That..."

Thinking back on what Cocolia had said. Bronya felt that St. Freya who was in her mind at this time became not so bad anymore.

Is St. Freya that Cocolia said was really that beautiful?

Why Bronya didn't feel it while living there before?

Was it because Bronya only stayed there for a few days?

"...Bronya will try."

"Well done Bronya. The first steps are difficult, but the next steps will be easier. Cheer up!"

Accept, and consider carefully what Cocolia says. Bronya looked behind her, and she saw Himeko's teacher waiting for them to finish talking.

"Cocolia, are you busy?"

"What's wrong Himeko?"

"Ahem! There's an urgent task issued by HQ by the way. This commission is easy enough for newcomers, but needs us to complete it as soon as possible."

Cocolia had a serious expression: "How many valkyries do you need?"

"Four valkyries will suffice. But the more the better. This will be a search mission that requires a large number of members, after all."

Cocolia frowned and she thought: "You're saying all this because you still haven't found any members right? You need me to fill the vacancies?"

Himeko coughed in embarrassment.

"Don't get me wrong, of course I already have my own members! Isn't that right, Bronya, Kiana?"

Realizing that the two of them had gotten caught up in the current somehow. Bronya just nodded her head obediently so as not to embarrass Himeko.

Cocolia, who realized Himeko's trick, could only smile helplessly.

"What do you think Bronya? You can decline if you don't want to."

Bronya shook her head: "Bronya has no problem. Bronya is ready for the task."

Kiana who had been silent all this time, also nodded her head: "I'll go where Bronya goes. After all, we're teammates now."

Got confirmation from both of them. Himeko nodded her head happily, and she smiled broadly.

"Since this is a rush task, the mission will be carried out at night tonight. Bronya, Kiana, you two get ready. We will meet in a bit later in the field when night falls."

"Please don't be late~"
