Watching the warship sail away, Luo Chen also left the airport with Theresa.

'So, next up is the cherry blossom cycle, right?'

Luo Chen thought to himself, looked at the teaching building in front of him, and walked straight towards it.

Chapter 20 Return to the Sky

"Aunt Theresa, what brings you here at this hour?"

Luo Chen stood in front of Theresa's desk, looking at her.

"I've been busy the other day and forgot to give you something."

As she spoke, Theresa took a box out of the drawer and handed it to Luo Chen.

"what is this?"

Luo Chen opened the box and saw a necklace inside, which he took out.

"necklace?"

Luo Chen looked at the necklace in his hand. Its main body consisted of four red, gem-like objects encased in metal, which he found rather strange.

"Who gave this to me?"

“I don’t know.” Theresa shook her head. “Headquarters only said it was a gift from a friend of yours.”

"Who would send me this? No, besides Bianca and the others, who do I have any friends at headquarters? Besides, when they send me things, they just give them directly to me."

"I don't know that."

Theresa waved her hand, indicating that she didn't know either: "But I suggest you take it, after all, it's someone else's good intention."

"Ok."

Luo Chen hung it around his neck and looked at Theresa, saying, "By the way, Aunt Theresa, have the results come out yet?"

"Yes."

Theresa nodded and changed to a serious tone, saying, "Luo Chen, congratulations on becoming one of the two B-level candidates in this assessment. The notification will be sent to your terminal later."

"Oh."

Luo Chen's nonchalant demeanor surprised Theresa: "Why are you so calm?"

"Bianca is younger than me and she's already S-rank. Rita goes without saying. Even my sister is almost S-rank. I'm still just B-rank. It's so annoying."

"Uh." Theresa's lips twitched, and she comforted him, "Those girls all became S-rank through years of training and missions. Your talent is no less than theirs, believe in yourself and you will become S-rank too."

"hope so."

"Um, let's not talk about this now." Theresa quickly changed the subject, looking at Luo Chen: "You guys are going to Changkong City for live-fire exercises in a few days, are you ready?"

"I came from the sky, do you think I'm ready or not?"

"Right."

"Aunt Theresa, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Okay, you can go now. I have some things to take care of."

"Yes, goodbye Aunt Theresa."

Stepping out of the office, Luo Chen went straight to the classroom. As soon as he entered, he saw everyone gathered in small groups, either talking about their grades or discussing the practical exercise in a few days.

"Hey, isn't this our Rank B Martial God?"

Lilith saw Luo Chen walk in and addressed him.

"Lilith, please stop making fun of me."

"How could I dare laugh at you?" Lilith smiled at him. "By the way, Luo Chen, are you ready for the combat drills in a few days?"

"Alright." Luo Chen patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, I'll take you and Yuno across the sky quickly."

"That's good." Lilith said happily, "Then I can finally slack off properly."

"I really don't know why you became a Valkyrie." Luo Chen sighed, unable to help but complain as he thought about Lilith's slacking off in the team battle a few days ago.

"hey-hey."

Lilith scratched the back of her head, looked at Luo Chen, and then pulled Yuno, who had just walked in, saying, "Um, Luo Chen, Yuno and I are going back to our seats now, bye-bye!"

Before Yuno could react, Lilith dragged her away, leaving Luo Chen behind.

"This guy."

Seeing the two chatting and laughing at their seats, Luo Chen had no choice but to walk to his own seat. Just as he sat down, he heard Kiana calling his name.

"Luo Chen, you're actually a B-rank!"

"What's wrong? Are you surprised?"

Luo Chen turned to the side and smiled at Kiana: "By the way, Kiana, you're still a C, right?"

"What do you know? I'll be taller than you someday."

"Yes, yes, yes, the future S-class Valkyrie."

Luo Chen spread his hands and smiled sideways. Seeing that Ji Zi had already walked onto the podium and was looking at him, he quickly sat up straight.

"Alright, it seems you all know your results. First of all, I want to congratulate Fu Hua and Luo Chen from our class for becoming the only two students in the entire grade to achieve a B grade."

As soon as Himeko finished speaking, the whole class burst into applause. Himeko raised her hand to signal for quiet, and then continued, "Everyone's results are excellent. Our class has all reached the level of combat personnel, which makes me very gratified. But you must remember that this is just the beginning. Don't lose your way. As those who stand on the front line against the Honkai, we must always remember to continuously improve our strength."

Himeko paused briefly, looked at everyone, and continued, "Three days from now, we will conduct a live-fire exercise. Everyone, be prepared and follow orders. I don't want anyone to get hurt because of recklessness, and I'm talking about you, Kiana."

Himeko glanced at Kiana, her expression serious.

Kiana assured her

"Don't worry, Himeko-sensei, I'll follow your instructions."

"That's good. That's all for now, let's begin class."

……

Luo Chen stood in the room, put on his armor, and looked at himself in the mirror.

What Luo Chen was wearing was less like armor and more like a trench coat. The trench coat was entirely black, with wrist guards on both arms. The lining was made of a special material, offering basic protection against knife wounds.

Luo Chen hung the long sword on his back, pushed open the door, and went downstairs.

"Professor Walter, I'm leaving."

"Be careful during live-fire drills, and don't get hurt."

Walter sat on the sofa reading the newspaper, looking like a retired old man.

"I will."

Luo Chen gave Walter a bright smile and walked out of the dormitory.

“It’s great to be young…”

Walter put down the newspaper, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and couldn't help but sigh.

……

"Is everyone assembled by now?"

On the Hyperion, Himeko looked at the prepared group and nodded in satisfaction.

"This is your first real-world test, and of course some people may disagree."

Ji Zi looked in the direction of Luo Chen and the others, and seeing that they didn't move, she continued, "However, what I want to say is that no matter how many times you've done this, you all need to be more vigilant in this practical exercise. Although the academy will be responsible for your safety, there are limitations, so you must follow orders, understand?"

"understood."

"Alright." Himeko's tone shifted from serious to gentle: "You must also remember that the primary purpose of St. Freya Academy's training for you is to cherish your lives. That kind of reckless fighting style is strictly forbidden to us. We want Valkyries, not war machines. So when you encounter danger, you must retreat decisively."

"Our live-fire exercise this time is mainly to help the Valkyries stationed in the area eliminate zombies and Honkai Beasts. Your entire operation will be followed by drones and recorded in real time. Of course, there are rewards for this exercise. The drones will record the number of enemies you eliminate and then convert it into points. I will give rewards to the top three teams, so good luck!"

After speaking, Himeko waved to everyone and announced loudly, "Everyone, log in immediately."

"Yes."

……

"You're back again."

After leaving the Hyperion, Luo Chen stood in the Valkyrie camp, looking at the ruins of Changkong City not far away, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Lilith, isn't it heavy carrying such a big box?"

Standing to the side, Lilith listened to Luo Chen's question, patted the box behind her, and said with a grin, "Don't worry, it's not heavy. Besides, my gun and bullets are still inside."

"Just don't accidentally hurt me later."

Luo Chen felt a lingering fear when he thought back to the bullet that narrowly missed him when he teamed up with Lilith a few days ago.

"Relax." Lilith scratched her head awkwardly. "I was just too nervous that time. After all, I never thought I'd team up with you, Luo Chen."

"By the way, Luo Chen, where are you planning to go?"

Yuno held the naginata in her right hand, slung it over her shoulder, and exported the map from the terminal with her left hand. Looking at the map, she asked Luo Chen.

"Just follow me."
