Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"That's why skipping school is not a good idea. Even if you fail, you'll end up in trouble."

Keno muttered softly, yawned, and was about to move downstairs.

However, at this moment, the mobile phone in his clothes vibrated slightly, causing him to raise his eyebrows and stop.

Who would text me at this time?

Mei?

Glancing at Kiana again, Kayno shook his head to get rid of the thought that had just arisen.

The other party doesn’t know that I’m back, so there’s no reason to send it specifically to me.

He took out his cell phone with a little doubt, but then his heart skipped a beat.

From: Bianca

Without thinking, Kainuo's body was quicker than his own and he tapped on the message, which displayed a short sentence.

Good morning, brother.

Keno's heart stopped beating for a moment.

Chapter 147 Kaslana's Birthday (Part 1)

Half a year later, in St. Freya's School.

"In 1477, when the Fate Saint Kallen Kaslana was being executed, Houkai beasts appeared from nowhere and attacked the execution ground and the nearby civilians."

"As a warrior of the Kaslana clan fighting against the Houkai, Kallen could not bear to watch the civilians die. Unarmed, she broke free and faced the Houkai beast to protect her people. And then..."

Pushing his glasses up, history teacher Walter Yang looked expressionlessly at Kiana, who was snoring soundly on the desk. He tapped the blackboard gently and cleared his throat.

"Ahem, Kiana-san. As a fellow tribesman of Saint Kallen, please answer this question."

As if because she heard her own name, Kiana struggled to wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth in a daze, rubbing her eyes and looking around in confusion.

"Ah? Is dinner ready?"

Kainuo, who was sitting in the second row, covered his face speechlessly.

Xier, who was next to Kainuo, had a gloating expression on her face, but then she lowered the corner of her mouth as if she had thought of something.

The kind-hearted Mei and Xier both showed a worried look.

Bronya... Bronya had no expression on her face.

Because it was Kiana, it wasn't uncommon for her to be woken up by the teacher while she was sleeping in class. And because it was a rather boring history class, it was even more common.

Because of this, almost everyone knew what would happen next - Teacher Walter would sigh in annoyance, and then let Kiana choose between copying the textbook and having credits deducted.

However, the history teacher's performance today was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Are you sleeping and not listening to the class again? You... forget it." Walter, who was about to knock on the blackboard to vent his anger, said halfway, but he swallowed his words again as if he had thought of something. In the end, he just sighed softly.

"This is just this once. Listen carefully. This won't happen again."

At this time, Kiana, who was originally in a daze, also woke up.

Originally, she was feeling sad about her hands that were about to copy the text, but after hearing Walter's words, her eyes lit up instantly, and the two braids behind her also curled up.

"Thank you, teacher!"

"No need to thank me." Walter waved his hand, "After all, today is your birthday, and you just need to listen to the class carefully."

Walter, who was standing on the podium, put the textbook on the table, stared at Kiana who was looking around, and sighed helplessly.

Even without mentioning the fact that Kiana was actually the unawakened Second Herrscher, as Siegfried's friend, he couldn't have ignored his request to look after Kiana after he learned he had infiltrated St. Freya.

However, he really didn't expect that this kid would be so naughty. He spent two-thirds of the classes in the past year sleeping, and spent two-thirds of the remaining one-third of the classes chatting with Raiden Mei... Although in his cognition, this seemed to be similar to Siegfried, but it was too disrespectful to the teacher!

If he didn't let her copy the text to store more knowledge, he was really worried that the Second Herrscher would become disheartened due to being held back and finally awaken.

Of course, since today is Kiana’s birthday, we should be nice to her at least today.

After all, according to Siegfried, the other party had not had many good birthdays.

"Wait, wait a minute, teacher," contrary to Walter's expectation, Kiana did not accept it directly.

She covered her head with one hand, staring at Walter with wide eyes in disbelief: "It's good that I don't have to copy the text, but how did you know today is my birthday? I haven't told anyone except Mei and the others!"

As she spoke, Kiana moved back slightly, quite cautiously.

"What on earth are you thinking about?" A vein on his forehead bulged slightly, and Teacher Walter sighed helplessly: "Every teacher has your personal information file, and your birthday is clearly written on it."

"Ah? Ha, haha," Kiana blinked, looking a little embarrassed. "So, is that how it is? I was scared to death."

"Stupid Kiana, what a shame," an inorganic voice sounded beside her.

"Hey!" Kiana turned her head and stared angrily at Bronya beside her. "Dwarf, who are you calling an idiot?"

"It seems that Kiana doesn't deny that she is embarrassed."

"You!" Kiana's eyes widened, and she immediately turned her head and looked at Mei with tears in her eyes: "Mei, Bronya bullied me!"

"Alright." Walter knocked on the blackboard helplessly again and hurriedly ended the farce. "The jokes are over. Fu Hua, answer my question just now."

"Because she had no weapons and no help from other soldiers, Saint Kallen died at the hands of a Houkai Beast instead of being hanged while protecting the people."

Adjusting her glasses, Fu Hua fluently recited the answers from the book.

"good."

Nodding, Walter smiled quite satisfiedly.

Fortunately, not everyone in this class is unlearned - although he had seen the girl named Fu Hua during the second collapse, and she was most likely Otto's person, but judging from her performance, she was a very kind Valkyrie.

Turning around, Walter continued to speak while writing on the blackboard:

"Of course, the Saint's death is regrettable, but it is not meaningless. Um... Xi'er, you answer."

"Eh?"

"what?"

The two Xi'er said in unison.

Walter's hand holding the chalk paused slightly.

"I am the red Xier."

She is very relieved that Blue Xier studies very seriously and does not need any additional questions to confirm the extent of her knowledge consolidation.

"Tsk."

Xier smacked her lips unhappily, frowned, and turned her head to give a look to Kaino who was staring at her.

Kainuo sighed helplessly. Although she didn't sleep every day like Kiana, she was not a person who liked to study.

There was no way, Yu Duchen trembled slightly and passed the answer to the other party.

"The Saint's death proved the corruption and incompetence of the old Mandate of Heaven, igniting the flames of resistance among the lower classes. This is of great significance to the establishment of a new Mandate of Heaven." After a pause, Xier continued, "At the same time, the Saint's death also shows that fighting alone is absolutely unacceptable. Teamwork..."

Jingle bell bell bell~

The bell for the end of get out of class rang, interrupting Xier's words.

Glancing at the setting sun outside the window, Walter turned his head and nodded to Xier: “Okay, let’s stop here. I believe you can do it.”

"I hope you will remember that, no matter what, you should never go deep into the enemy's territory alone. Always remember to stay in touch with your companions around you."

"Okay, students, your class is over."

"Great!"

As soon as Walter finished speaking, Kiana jumped up from the chair and rushed to Meiyi's side, grabbing her hand tightly and not letting go: "Meiyi Meiyi, you prepared a big cake for me, right? I remember it!"

After trying to break free but finding it fruitless, Mei smiled and sighed, "Yes, yes, there's really nothing I can do about you. Don't worry, the cake is big enough that even two Kianas can't finish it."

Kainuo, who was listening on the side, glanced to the side subtly.

Fortunately, although he also accepted the invitation to Kiana's birthday party, he didn't have to eat as much as he wanted.

"Hehe, I knew Mei was the best to me!" Kiana grabbed Mei's hand and shook it a few times, then smiled, turned around and ran out of the school gate.

"Then I'll go first!"

Kainuo, who had been watching this scene, blinked and patted Xier's shoulder gently: "Let's go, Xier, it's time for us to leave too."

Chapter 148 Kaslana's Birthday (Part 2)

"Happy birthday Kiana!"

With a bang, countless colorful ribbons shot out from the firework tube and then slowly fell down, almost covering the entire room.

"what!"

Kiana, who had just entered the room, was startled. After she came to her senses, she kept fiddling with her hair, trying to shake off the ribbons that were all over her head.

"Auntie, you two are such idiots! I know it's my birthday today, and if I didn't mean to surprise someone, then the fireworks would have been useless."

"Hmph, Kiana, you don't understand this, do you?" Theresa, who had been lying in ambush in the room for a long time just to scare her, snorted. "A birthday without fireworks is like bitter melon juice without ice. It's incomplete!"

"Wow, Auntie, that's a weird example!" Kiana said with a disgusted expression, "Comparing birthdays to bitter melon juice makes me not really want to celebrate my birthday anymore~"

This is a lie.

Even though she was complaining before, Kiana actually had her eyes shining and was grinning foolishly, and she was very happy in her heart because of this birthday.

Because her father is not around, she hasn't celebrated her birthday for a long time. After all, there is no point in celebrating a birthday alone.

But this time, she had friends, relatives... and so many people celebrating her birthday with her. It was the first time!

"Oh? You seem to be quite happy, Kiana, who called someone else aunt without permission?" Jizi, who had been standing there since Kiana entered the room, crossed her arms over her chest and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Today is not a holiday, I can definitely give you some homework, okay?"

Kiana suddenly shuddered, her eyes rolled around, and then she looked at Theresa with a pitiful expression.

"Aunt aunt!" Years of wandering life and the experience of being raised by Mei have enabled Kiana to develop an extraordinary skill. As soon as she opened her mouth, two tears welled up in her eyes, making her look extremely pitiful.

"Help me, Aunt! You don't want to see your niece unable to have a happy birthday because of homework, right?"

"Ah? This..." Theresa frowned and looked at Ji Zi hesitantly.

In fact, she was very satisfied with the extra classes given to Kiana by teachers of various subjects. After all, the child looked so unlearned now that it was questionable whether she could graduate successfully without more classes.

She didn't want the reputation of the Kaslana family to be ruined by Kiana.

"Alright, alright, what kind of devil do you take me for?" Looking at Theresa and Kiana, Jizi sighed helplessly, "You should have fun on your birthday. I know that."

"Oh yeah!" The tears in Kiana's eyes disappeared instantly.

Knowing that her biggest burden for the day had been lifted, she kept jumping around the house like a happy kitten.

"Cough um."

Clearing his throat to show his presence, Kayno, who had just entered the room, took out a large box from his portable device, shook it, and looked at Kiana with a smile on his face.

"Kiana? Guess what birthday present I prepared for you?"

"Hey, a birthday present?" Kiana was probably not one of those people who had ever received something like this before. She was stunned at first, then she looked at the box in Kainuo's hand with hesitation.

"No, it's not good, right?" Kiana's voice was a little tangled. "If it was Bronya and the others, it would be fine. Although we are more familiar with them, we also..."

"Stupid Kiana, you think too much." Bronya stabbed her mercilessly: "Bronya didn't prepare any gifts for you."

Kiana widened her eyes and looked in disbelief at the little guy who had lived with her for nearly a year.

"It's okay, it's normal for friends to give each other gifts." Touching his chin, Kainuo thought for a moment and said, "At least I don't think there's any problem with it."

Every time they had a birthday as a child, many Valkyries would come to their house to give gifts - especially the Shaniyat and Kaslana families.

When I grew up in an orphanage, the priest would prepare many small gifts for every birthday, and the children would also give them to each other.

Not to mention his birthday, Fu Hua, Cang Xuan, Xier and the captain, whom he had just met, also gave him gifts when they left.

So there really shouldn't be any problem.

"Is that so?" Kiana nodded, remembering a friend she had only known for a short time also gave her a gift. "It seems there's nothing wrong. The one who's wrong is Bronya... By the way, Kaino, what's the gift?"

Kiana's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Valkyrie Promotion Test 1000 Questions."

Kiana's smile froze.

"I'm kidding." Rolling his eyes at Kiana, Kaino handed the box over. "It's the latest PS4. Don't worry about it being too expensive. Consider it a gift for Seele and me."
