Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

She forced herself to remain calm and said, "So, what you call 'information' is actually very important, and some things related to it are not as easy as the curriculum at St. Freya?"

The girl stepped forward.

"The situation there is either very dangerous or very complicated, right?"

Otto sneered, his attempt to cover up the truth only making things worse.

"What danger could St. Freya possibly pose? You know, Theresa was once an S-rank, so safety there is very well guaranteed."

Durandal automatically filtered out this sophistry.

She began to ponder how to find out the situation of the Far East Branch, especially now that she had refused to join St. Freya.

Using vacation as an excuse? But insisting on going there for vacation seems a bit too deliberate.

Pretending to be passing by while on a mission?

First of all, the Far East Branch is responsible for the collapse in the Far East region. It would be problematic if someone went to interfere in the vicinity without permission.

Not long after the Third Honkai Impact, the Far East Branch had recovered and gradually took over the local cleanup work.

Given his status, appearing there would be too conspicuous, making him an easy target for surveillance and making it impossible to conduct an investigation.

Or, why not ask Rita for her opinion?

No, that would make her misunderstand her intentions, and as Bai Yan's superior, she also had to avoid certain things.

what can we do about it……

Durandal fell into deep thought, but Otto, who had been silent for a short while, spoke up.

"Speaking of which, Bai Yan's adaptability to Honkai energy is quite high. With proper training, he has a promising future."

“I remember during the evaluation, he had a real chance of becoming an A-level, or even an S-level.”

"It's a pity that he himself doesn't seem willing to go to the front lines, and his performance at home is quite outstanding..."

"Actually, Bianca, you need to consider other aspects when it comes to wanting him to be your companion..."

Just as Otto was trying to gently guide the girl's thoughts in another direction, she seemed to be completely absorbed in her own thoughts, as if she were on a completely different server, and then punched her palm.

“Bishop, aren’t you worried about the combat effectiveness of the Far East Branch? Especially in an environment like St. Freya, the Valkyries trained there may lack the ability to fight under high pressure.”

"Uh……"

After his spellcasting was interrupted, Otto slightly changed his approach.

His lovely granddaughter was quite reluctant to see him, but she hadn't truly broken away from him.

It's just that it's a bit difficult to show concern for them on a regular basis.

Otto never thought about the quality of teaching; St. Freya was just a place for his granddaughter to play house.

As for its significance to his own plans, it was merely a coincidence that it was quite suitable.

To cultivate someone who shoulders a mission, a true protagonist of the world, we must not force growth or rush things.

After experiencing a complete life and figuring out the truth, she will one day transcend base desires and contemplate the meaning of her existence.

However, during this time, I can find a suitable excuse to go to St. Freya; on the one hand, I can see Theresa, and on the other hand, I can see how K423 is growing. It sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Thinking of this, Otto nodded: "Indeed, the results of training are often inversely proportional to the number of casualties. It is also one of the duties of headquarters to test and guide some of our branches."

Otto cleverly used the word "results" instead of "efforts".

Sirin was terrifying back then; was it just hard work and sweat?

Of course, the silly goose doesn't have these details and wouldn't notice the bishop's little details.

Her attention was completely drawn to the words "inspection and guidance".

"Bishop, I am willing to participate in this inspection and guidance work!"

She spoke with righteous indignation, showing absolutely no shame for abusing her power for personal gain; on the contrary, she was pleased about it.

This way, we can take the opportunity to investigate Bai Yan's situation and help our colleagues in each branch make progress. It's a win-win situation.

Honestly, why didn't I think of that before?

“Of course,” Otto nodded, his gaze shifting slightly to the screen. “I think we could consider using a competition or something similar that is as practical as possible to get a feel for the situation of each branch.”

"It seems we should call Ragnar along, since she's currently in charge of training new recruits."

"This is a large-scale event, so we need about two months of preparation time beforehand..."

In reality, Otto intended to leave all the remaining testing work to Ragnar after his trip to St. Freya.

If all else fails, just throw Amber to Ragnar for help as well.

What a perfect little plan.

“Bishop, I remember that Raiden Mei is also in St. Freya. Could Bai Yan’s mission be related to her?”

"Of course not, his mission is to get close to Kiana Kaslana—"

Otto immediately gave an "Oh, I really didn't mean to" look, but he didn't change his mind or try to cover it up.

Durandal frowned.

Kiana Kaslana...

She didn't press the matter, because she thought the bishop was deliberately leaving it at that point, and she wasn't one to dwell on things.

However, at this moment, she had already made Kiana Kaslana a key target for this "inspection and guidance".

Volume 1: Chapter 22: Bai Yan: What a load of rubbish!

Inside the hotel room, Bai Yan put down his communicator.

"It seems this matter can't be resolved peacefully. With that stubborn personality of Dai'e, he might really be going to push me to the limit."

"She clearly knew the reason after that incident, but she just couldn't save face."

Before the Egyptian events of that year, Mandate was almost in a period of military vacuum.

Bianca had already suffered a tragic loss at the Taj Mahal.

The Second Honkai Impact took away too many elite forces fighting against the Honkai. The high-end combat power alone was almost wiped out. Siegfried, Cecilia, and Fu Hua were all gone, one died, and one was crippled.

Of the five A-level members in the Snow Wolf Squad, four are dead and one is missing.

The number of other deceased is too numerous to list.

Therefore, before Durandal officially advanced to S-rank, Schicksal was probably in its weakest period since Otto officially took over.

As a member of the logistics department, Bai Yan's job is not simply to schedule and record supplies.

After the battle in Egypt ended, Bai Yan and his colleagues from the logistics department went to the emergency center, where wounded soldiers who had just been transported back were waiting.

Some wounded are not handled by the medical team.

"It's that little guy in the logistics department... which means I'm really going to die..."

She was wrapped in bandages all over, with only half her face showing, but she was smiling when she looked at Bai Yan.

"Hey, as expected of you, you even know my tastes so well."

She took a large cup of warm milk tea and began to sip it with a satisfied expression.

After finishing his drink, he handed the cup back and said, "I was originally planning to wait until you were a little older before making my move, hehe... cough cough cough..."

Bai Yan placed his hand on her head and gently patted it.

"Oh dear, you're making me even more disappointed. You're so young, yet so sensible..."

"It's a bit cold, should we turn on the heating?"

The boy nodded.

"Then I have to hurry—by the way, do you people in China believe in reincarnation? That is, after a person dies, all their memories are wiped away, and then they are reborn into the world."

The boy nodded again.

"If I reincarnate now and start a new life, will the Honkai have already been defeated by then? My new life should be able to begin in an era before the Honkai, right?"

"can."

"Haha, you're so sure of it..."

Soon, her expression became nonchalant.

"Hey, what if the new me becomes your family member? Would we switch ways? The new, little me would come and call you 'Uncle' or something, hahaha..."

She clearly harbored resentment at being called "Auntie" in the past, but couldn't find a way to retaliate.

Bai Yan suddenly laughed and said, "What if she calls me 'Dad'?"

The Valkyrie laughed even harder; she simply couldn't hold back her laughter at the joke.

But gradually, the sound faded, and my eyelids began to feel heavy.

"me……"

She reached out her hand, and Bai Yan immediately grasped it.

"You...live well...onward..."

The hand gradually slid down, and Bai Yan gently placed it on the other person's chest.

The boy closed the white cloth and stood up.

"Xiao Yan, these tasks are not necessary..."

"It's alright. Maybe they'll see I'm a decent person after they leave and silently bless me."

"..."

"What about the autopsy report?" Bai Yan asked again.

"The first batch has been compiled, and the handling of the remains..."

"Leave the makeup to me."

"but……"

"Remember to bring a batch of needles and thread as well; the demand will be very high this time."

"Ok."

His recollection was interrupted by a notification tone. He picked up his communicator again and found that someone who never replied had sent him a message.

Anna: Where are you?

Bai Yan curled his lip and replied casually.

[Bai Yan: On a mission, unable to return to headquarters for the time being]

Anna quickly replied with a "crying" emoji.

Anna: I just received orders to return to headquarters; apparently, it's for a special mission.

Bai Yan: Then be careful.

Anna: That's strange, did you really write me a love letter confessing your feelings?

[Bai Yan: I wrote it.]

Anna: Why don't I feel that way at all?

[Bai Yan: It's because I'm not very educated. I'll write another letter after I've learned, and then you can give me a sharp commentary.]

Anna: ??? Hey, can you be serious for once?

Seeing this, Bai Yan couldn't help but chuckle, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Kaslana's genes are really strong!"

Look at the Kiana sisters, they clearly have the Schariac genes in their bodies, but they are not gentle at all!

This is too much of a recessive genetic trait.

The older sister is obsessed with intensity, while the younger sister is obsessed with food and intensity; she didn't inherit any of her mother's personality traits.

After chatting with Anna for a while, seeing that it was time to leave, they checked out of the hourly room and returned to St. Freya.
