After finishing breakfast and packing up simply, Kirataka and Mei left the dormitory together.
After all, the principal had given an order, so it would be better to go to her office first.
As the principal of St. Freya's Academy, Theresa's office is located in the most central location of the entire school.
Arriving at Theresa's office door, he knocked gently, and after hearing the other party's response, he pushed the door open and walked in.
What catches the eye is her petite appearance which has remained unchanged for more than 40 years, and her nun uniform which has remained unchanged for more than 40 years.
"Kirataka, you're here, and Mei is here too."
"Morning, Principal."
The two greeted in unison.
After he and Mei sat down, Theresa started talking about Kiana as expected.
"I'm worried..."
The petite girl let out an exclamation that was not consistent with her appearance, a sound that only elders could make:
"I'm almost worried to death about Kiana's current state."
"If she doesn't pass the test, she won't even be able to become a true Valkyrie."
"If only she had one-third of the brain you and Bronya have,"
Theresa complained.
Not only is she not diligent in her academic courses, but in practical training, she makes progress very slowly, with every step she takes to get things done.
The excellent talents of the Kaslana family were not stimulated at all.
The white-haired girl continued:
"I warned her yesterday that if she fails the make-up exam in two weeks, she will be expelled from St. Freya's Academy so that she will have a sense of crisis."
"So... next, Principal, do you want to ask Kirataka to guide Kiana's homework?"
Mei asked curiously.
"Yes, that's right. I can guide Kiana in combat training, but as for academics... I can only ask her peers to help."
Theresa said a little embarrassedly.
She really has no experience in this area.
Although she is nominally the principal, she has been in her current shape since the moment she was born, has never received any intellectual training, and has a life that is completely different from that of ordinary people.
At first, she was a member of the clones and fought with other clones. After being accepted by her grandfather as a member of the Apocalypse family, she was mostly on combat missions and had almost no experience in going to school.
Therefore, it would be a bit too much to ask her to guide Kiana in her studies.
"Is that why you came to me, Principal?"
Kirataka touched his chin.
"Well, Mei and Bronya are both girls, and they are roommates. I'm afraid they can't be cruel to Kiana, so I thought I'd ask you for help, after all, you are a boy."
Theresa waved her hand and said encouragingly:
"Don't worry, Kirataka, I won't let you work for nothing. I will give you extra compensation. What do you need?"
With her authority and resources as the manager of the Far East branch, she can basically meet most of Kirataka's needs.
"Hmm…"
Kirataka touched his chin and thought of the matter of entrusting Raven to investigate Ryoma.
Although the commission has been handed over to her, the remuneration has not yet been prepared.
This is a good opportunity to raise enough money to hire Raven to do the work.
So, he cleared his throat and said to the petite girl in front of him:
"Principal, I need money, so I want to advance my salary."
He had originally planned to find an opportunity to talk to Theresa about this matter, and this time it just happened to be done smoothly.
"Money?"
The white-haired girl was slightly stunned.
This is not a big problem; rather, the requirement is too simple.
——The Valkyries under Schicksal have a very high income.
After all, this is a life-threatening profession. Not only do they have to risk their lives fighting on the front lines against Honkai, but they are also at risk of dying at any time. The implantation of artificial stigmata and other human-related experiments is also pre-empting the girls' lifespans to forcibly increase their combat effectiveness.
The bishop knew very well that he could not rely solely on faith and thoughts to drive the girls to work, so the price he offered them for material things was also quite considerable.
The income of each class of Valkyrie varies depending on their level.
The annual salary of an A-level Valkyrie is already over one million Euros.
Of course, Kirataka's income as a B-level player is not that high at present, but it should be more than enough to pay the amount that Raven might ask for.
After all, Schicksal is really rich.
Hmm... sometimes Kirataka wondered if Raven had not joined the World Serpent but joined Schicksal, she might have been able to save up enough money to buy a villa island earlier...
As the granddaughter of the Bishop of Schicksal, the Far East Branch receives the most funding each year among all the branches.
In terms of funds, Theresa is actually quite well-off.
Therefore, she did not hesitate too much and said directly:
"Then it's settled. I'll give you a one-year advance on your salary, based on the standards for an A-rank Valkyrie."
——Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
As she said, Theresa made some quick operations and a notification of the arrival of the money appeared on Kirataka's terminal.
Looking at the series of numbers, Kirataka muttered to himself, "Boss is very generous," and then raised his head and asked:
"Principal, which subject should we start with?"
"Well, let's start with history, which is the subject with the worst grades. Don't worry, I will also provide some special permissions to help you, so you won't have to work too hard."
Theresa quickly tapped on the virtual panel in front of her, and the terminal in Kirataka's hand rang again.
Kirataka looked down and saw that this was the permission to link into the Schicksal Database.
"I have opened a part of St. Freya's database to you and Kiana. It records the history of the Honkai Eruption of this world and also has the function of immersive scene reproduction."
Theresa said with some pride:
"Compared to simply reading a book, this will surely make a better impression on Kiana, right?"
She had taken great pains to help her naughty niece grow up as much as possible.
"I see."
Kirataka nodded.
According to the original timeline, this job should have been done by Bronya.
It was originally just a simple tutoring job, but due to a series of mistakes, Kiana's Kaslana bloodline triggered the hidden true history of Kallen's execution and even led to the appearance of Otto himself in the end.
However, ever since she came back from Nagazora City last time, she has been in a bad mood because he arranged for Yae Sakura to provoke Bronya. She probably has no time to care about anything related to Kiana now.
In short, what is coming next is probably not a simple teaching journey.
If you bring Kiana into the database, you will inevitably be under the remote attention of Otto.
In other words, what follows is likely to be his first contact with the Bishop of Schicksal.
