St. Freya High School

Seeing that Han Jiang seemed a little dazed, Fu Hua said, "I briefly looked into your background just now. So, do you accept this arrangement?"

"Don't mind the term 'training Valkyries.' Women generally have a higher compatibility with Honkai Energy than men, which is why most are called Valkyries."

Thinking Han Jiang did not understand, Fu Hua added an explanation.

Han Jiang nodded like a pecking chick. "I understand, I understand. I'll absolutely follow the arrangements."

Fu Hua turned to the captain beside her. "I'll leave the follow-up matters to you. I'll take Han Jiang back to the city first to make some preparations."

It was clear that Fu Hua's word was absolute within this combat team.

Fu Hua casually walked over to a duty vehicle and glanced at Han Jiang. Han Jiang immediately scampered after her.

After getting into the car, Fu Hua skillfully started it and said to Han Jiang, "I know all your information. You meet Canghai City's qualifications for recommended admission. If you have any difficulties in life, feel free to bring them up."

Han Jiang fastened his seatbelt and sat properly in the passenger seat, not daring to say another word. The system had already given him a perfectly reasonable identity.

If he talked too much and said something wrong, making Fu Hua suspicious would only cause trouble.

After returning to the special operations headquarters in the city, Fu Hua brought Han Jiang through another series of reviews and tests.

From his birth certificate and school history to his academic level and combat ability.

Fortunately, the system had automatically generated a biographical profile for Han Jiang. He pulled up the system panel and read from it, muddling through without issue.

In the combat ability test, Han Jiang's skills surpassed ninety percent of people his age, meeting the requirements for recommended admission to St. Freya High School.

The testing continued until ten at night. Fu Hua accompanied him throughout, asking a few extra questions whenever she had even the slightest doubt.

"Test subject Han Jiang has passed the review. His identity is clean, and he has no bad habits. He may enter St. Freya High School as a recommended student from Shenzhou," the person in charge, dressed in a white lab coat, reported to Fu Hua after the tests ended.

Fu Hua nodded, glanced over the report handed to her, and said, "You've worked hard."

After the person in charge left, Fu Hua said to Han Jiang, "Shenzhou only has ten slots at St. Freya High School each year. I approved you on the spot, so don't resent the review staff."

Han Jiang hurriedly shook his head. If just anyone could enter St. Freya High School so easily, that was when he would find it strange.

With Honkai sweeping across the world like a natural disaster, it was only normal for every region to keep a tight grip on its own combat strength.

After all, no one wanted to spend vast resources nurturing someone who might belong to another organization.

After this round of reviews and tests, Han Jiang thoroughly understood that this world was not as beautiful as it had seemed in the game. There were far more hidden dangers than he had imagined.

Three days later, Fu Hua boarded a special plane bound for St. Freya Academy with nine students, including Han Jiang.

Over those three days, Han Jiang learned much more about this world. As one of the world's top schools for training Valkyries, St. Freya High School also admitted some male students.

Of course, these male students had to possess high compatibility with Honkai Energy. Even so, St. Freya was generally still known as a girls' school.

Put another way, across the vast land of Shenzhou, Han Jiang was the only person his age who qualified.

Having only one person meet the requirements was already an incredibly low probability, let alone in regions with smaller populations.

So St. Freya High School did not have only female students. If he saw other male students, he should not find it strange.

Three hours later, the special plane arrived at St. Freya High School.

After stepping off the plane, St. Freya High School, of which he had only glimpsed a corner in the game, was fully laid out before Han Jiang's eyes.

Rather than a school, it was more like a small city.

"Hello, recommended students from Shenzhou. I'm the staff member responsible for receiving you, and I'll handle your enrollment procedures." The person who came to meet them was a tall, mature woman.

She swept her gaze over Han Jiang and the others, then said to Fu Hua, who clearly looked like their leader, "The registration area is over there. Please follow me."

The receptionist looked at Han Jiang several more times, frowning as though she wanted to say something but did not want to meddle.

She struggled with it for several minutes before finally saying, "The school encourages students to handle all aspects of their lives themselves. Still, I've never seen such a young servant. Which one of you brought him?"

Although most students here came from poor families, there were also some wealthy children. Students bringing servants with them was not uncommon.

It was normal for families to worry about their children living alone and send a nanny to take care of them, but what did it mean to bring along an opposite-sex servant of the same age?

Faced with such outrageous behavior, she truly could not help but speak up.

"Haha!"

"Hehe!"

Everyone froze for a moment before quickly bursting into laughter. This receptionist had clearly mistaken Han Jiang for a servant.

Even Fu Hua, who was usually stern and unsmiling, slightly raised the corners of her lips. Yet her voice remained cool. "He is a male from the Shenzhou region with high compatibility. The materials we submitted should have already explained that."

"I'm sorry. That was my mistake. Please come this way." The receptionist immediately apologized. Ultimately, the misunderstanding had arisen because she had not carefully read the documents.

But it was not that she had deliberately said it to exclude Han Jiang. Male students at St. Freya were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Suddenly seeing a boy, she could not help but overthink it.

Everything that followed went very smoothly, especially since Immortal Fu Hua had notified them in advance.

The ten students were assigned to different classes. Perhaps fate favored Han Jiang, for he and Fu Hua were assigned to the same class.

There were twenty-four students in the class. The moment Han Jiang entered the classroom, he spotted Kiana and the other two in the corner.

"Why is there a boy here? What's he doing here?"

"A staff member?"

Upon seeing Han Jiang, the girls began chattering away, all guessing at his identity.

When Han Jiang sat in the last row, the girls all cried out in surprise. Someone quietly voiced the truth. "He isn't going to study and attend class with us, is he?"

The more lively Kiana glanced sideways at Han Jiang as she said to Mei and Bronya, "We came here to become Valkyries and fight the Honkai. Is that boy going to become a Valkyrie too?"

Kiana's voice was not quiet, and the expressions of the girls around her became quite interesting.

The technology in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd was more advanced, and sex reassignment surgery naturally existed. Yet there was still no scientific proof that such procedures could improve compatibility.

Gossip was a woman's natural talent, and seventeen- and eighteen-year-old girls were no exception.

Some said he might have undergone sex reassignment surgery, while others guessed that Han Jiang was the child of some big shot in Schicksal, sent here specifically to find a girlfriend.

The discussion made Han Jiang, sitting in his seat, feel a little awkward.

"Ahem."

Han Jiang could no longer hold back and spoke up in rebuttal. "I'm a boy, a real boy. If you can become Valkyries, why can't I become a God of War?"

"That's right. Boys with high Honkai Energy compatibility are not unheard of. Please don't judge people through tinted glasses." A mature, intellectual voice came from the doorway.

The person at the door wore a St. Freya Academy teacher's uniform. Her red hair was pinned up, and her curvaceous figure was alluring. As she spoke, she entered the classroom and stopped beside the podium.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Murata Himeko, the teacher in charge of your class. You can all call me Himeko."
