"Ah?!"
This felt like a bolt from the blue to Zhao Bai, tragic in the extreme.
"I can't slack off at school anymore?"
Zhao Bai's surprise earned him a raised eyebrow from Theresa.
"What do you take my St. Freya Academy for, some place where anyone can get in and out? Apologize to me right now!"
"Uh..."
Theresa seemed genuinely angry—the kind that couldn't be soothed with just one meal.
But that was fine.
If one meal did not work, then two would.
If all else failed, Zhao Bai could cover the principal's three meals a day.
So the most pressing issue now was not Theresa's anger, but the fact that he had been made an A-rank Valkyrie.
This was a huge problem.
After looking into it, Zhao Bai felt that this appointment was suspicious.
There had to be a conspiracy behind it.
Theresa was not capable of such ruthless revenge, so it had to be Archbishop Otto. Only he could quietly add an A-rank Valkyrie to Schicksal's roster and make it seem so natural.
This was blatant revenge!
With their perfect teamwork as a couple, they had seized the opportunity to paint Otto as a petty thief stealing batteries.
The bishop had smiled happily at the time and even praised him as an absurdist playwright of deconstructionism, saying he was better than Otto himself by who knew how much.
Smiling on the outside, cursing like hell on the inside.
And sure enough, the retaliation came right after he turned around.
How tasteless!
Once he became a proper Valkyrie, carrying out missions would become a matter-of-fact job rather than a diversion from academy life.
As everyone knew, Zhao Bai disliked every place other than the kitchen.
And that was not all.
Valkyries above A-rank were qualified to take solo
