Chapter 197

Therefore, watching over one's own child's growth is what a mother should do.

After leaving the Herrscher Core space, Freya immediately entered her own consciousness space.

Then, she saw her younger sister land headfirst.

"..."×2

My little sister's sleeping posture is really terrible.

Freya figured that she should be holding Black Abyss White Flower right now, and being held from behind by Rita while sleeping, so she was in a very stable position.

Soon her gaze fell on one of her older sisters who had run away from home.

"Snort!"

Then Freya became arrogant.

Seeing her second sister turn her head away angrily again, Kiana felt a headache coming on. If this continued, it might affect the relationship between the sisters.

However, even though the other party clearly supported my departure, they started acting strangely after I left.

He desperately wanted her to come back sooner, but when she faced a difficult problem, he would always explain to her in detail how to solve it and how to deal with the person who caused it.

After Aurora had fallen headfirst, got up, her little face was already bright red, probably knowing that she must have rolled off the bed in real life.

The consciousness space records their state before entering this space, including their clothing and appearance, as well as the headache they felt after accidentally falling off the bed. All of this is recorded and reflected by the consciousness space.

If Aurora wakes up from a fall and goes back to sleep, she won't fall headfirst into her consciousness.

It is precisely because he rolled off the bed but was still sleeping soundly that he fell again in his consciousness.

"Waaah..."

Noticing the teasing looks from her two older sisters, Aurora's face turned completely red.

The next day, before dawn, Freya opened her eyes, but a trace of weariness still lingered on her face, preventing her from fully opening them.

She spoke softly to the Black Abyss White Flower in her arms.

Good morning, Mom.

Freya, upon waking, quickly noticed the soft touch behind her.

Thirteen-year-old Rita had a remarkably large bust. Rita already possessed captivating beauty, and her figure was developing with such potential; she was practically destined to become a femme fatale who could bring ruin to a country.

Freya felt she absolutely had to keep Rita by her side, otherwise... who knows, Rita might go astray in no time.

"Sorry, did I wake you up..."

Freya quickly apologized when she realized that the maid behind her had been awakened by her movements.

Still somewhat dazed, Rita instinctively hugged Freya tightly, her alluring voice carrying a languid air as she spoke.

"Good morning... Kia... Freya, sir..."

Halfway through her sentence, Rita seemed to remember Freya's real name, and, now mostly sober, quickly changed her words.

Good morning, Rita. Today is going to be busy.

"It seems so. Today is a very important day for Lord Welt and Lord Tesla."

Rita was still a little tired, after all, she had stayed up very late with Freya and then woke up with Freya.

This made Freya worry about Rita's health.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's not time for breakfast yet. Don't refuse... just sleep a little longer."

"Yes, sir..."

Rita ultimately did not refuse. After Freya left the bed and placed the Black Abyss White Flower on the shelf, Rita wrapped herself in the blanket, closed her eyes, and fell asleep again amidst a sweet fragrance.

Freya sat down at her desk, turned on the computer terminal in the room, and began to investigate the current recruitment list for St. Freya.

Freya quickly located the new student brought by Amber and opened the student's information.

"Sophia... 10 years old, with extremely high Honkai Energy adaptability, and all other data are also high, so there seems to be no doubt about it."

Sophia, with such stats, could pass the normal test, but the other party was a new student specially brought by Amber, so there must be something special about him. When she thought this way, she fell into Otto's trap.

Freya was certain that the student Otto wanted to place in the St. Freya Academy was definitely not this girl.

Although the stats are impressive, it's not worth Otto paying an Amber for it.

Even if Amber has lost its value, or even if Otto no longer needs Amber, he wouldn't create such a small trouble for them in this way.

Even though Amber represented considerable trouble, Freya didn't think she couldn't handle it.

In other words, neither Amber nor Sophia is Otto's true love.

Freya quickly began searching among the new students. Her gaze lingered on the name Bianca Atagina for half a second longer before landing on a silver-haired girl who had passed the assessment normally and whose scores were all quite ordinary.

The silver-haired girl's name is Leivi, and she is also 10 years old, just like Sophia.

Leivi's test scores were normal, and although her performance in various aspects was not outstanding, it was still at the level required to pass the normal assessment.

Freya opened the recording of the assessment and, after watching it more than ten times, she found that even though the assessment score was only average, it did not change the silver-haired girl's expression, especially after the assessment ended, when the girl showed a smile of certainty that she had passed.

"This number is too normal. Oh, I see. Even this was a decoy!"

Freya was almost certain that Leivi was Otto's real target for infiltrating St. Freya Academy, but in the next moment, she immediately overturned all her speculations.

The numbers are too normal, so normal that a suspicious person would definitely doubt Leivi.

Like Sophia, Leivi was indeed placed there by Otto, but their task was to attract attention.

Unlike Sophia, who is responsible for the high-profile role, Leivi is responsible for portraying a low-profile character.

"This isn't Otto's true destiny, but... which one could it be?"

Freya arranged the list of new students according to their overall scores, with Sophia, arranged by Otto, at the top, while Leivi, who caught Freya's attention, was in the middle to lower ranks of this batch of new students.

"The second one is Wendy? She seems to be only 8 years old. The third one... wait? The third one is Bianca Atagina, huh? Also 8 years old? The fourth one is Aisha... the fifth one... the sixth one..."

"The person in front of Leivi is Delta. Could these two be working together?"

Freya continued to look through the list of new students with doubts. She decided to have someone monitor all the new students in this batch, regardless of which one Otto was a favorite of. She just needed to be vigilant about all of them.

225. Come on, let's hurt each other!

The 13th cohort of new students at St. Freya Elementary School consisted of 133 students. Freya recorded the names and appearances of all the new students in this cohort.

Regardless, Freya felt that all the new students in this batch were questionable.

In fact, she was also worried that Otto had figured out her thoughts. When she removed Sophia and Leivi from the list of suspects because they were too suspicious, it was Otto deliberately made her think that way. Perhaps even her current thoughts were part of Otto's calculations.

"Damn Otto..."

Thinking of the other party's scheme, Freya couldn't help but grit her teeth.

After memorizing the names and appearances of all the new students in the 13th class, Freya immediately abandoned her plan to play tricks on Otto.

It would be very difficult to find Otto's true identity among the 133 freshmen.

Moreover, even after finding that so-called destined one, Freya still didn't know Otto's true purpose in doing so.

After Otto left the Schicksal, he truly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Freya strongly suspects that the countries on the map that refuse to cooperate with Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are actually cooperating with Otto behind the scenes.

The main reason she suggested Kiana use the Ice-bound Serpent organization to cooperate with these countries was to fill the gap in the rule of the two major organizations, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.

Freya had two guesses about Otto's whereabouts. One was that he was hiding in the sea, in the vast ocean where it was impossible to find his target without the correct navigation route. No one could guarantee that there was a secret research lab of Otto under an uninhabited island. Freya's other guess was that he was one of the countries that refused the intervention of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.

While some countries do not need to send Schicksal Valkyrie squad due to their geographical advantages, others have absorbed the scientific and technological resources shared by Anti-Entropy and developed sufficiently powerful nuclear weapons, thus withstanding the Honkai Beast's attacks head-on.

To be honest, most of these countries are small in size.

Because the area they need to protect is relatively small, they can use a force that is insignificant to a large country to stop the Honkai Beast. In places like North America and Asia, there are countless Honkai battlefields of all sizes, and many cities have been occupied by Honkai Beast.

That's why Schicksal recognizes the so-called Aristocratic Faction, and various countries provide Valkyrie candidate, who are then trained by Schicksal before being arranged to return to their respective countries.

In other words, Schicksal helps countries cultivate Valkyrie, but in exchange for cultivating Valkyrie, Schicksal can order equipment and raw materials from various countries at extremely low prices.

After all, the Schicksal has no territory. Even though Schicksal possesses such supreme power, like an invisible empire, Schicksal can still encounter situations where resources are blocked.

Freya initially thought that Otto would be unable to continue any resurrection experiments after leaving Schicksal, and even believed that Otto would return to compete with her for the position of Grand Bishop.

But when Otto no longer needed the Amber, and even began to exploit Amber last remaining value, she discovered that Otto must have a secret organization independent of Schicksal.

Or rather, it is a secret organization specifically designed to cooperate with countries that refuse to cooperate with Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.

Only this explanation can justify why Otto could continue his experiments without relying on Schicksal.

In fact, Freya did not find the clone with the number preceding her at Schicksal Headquarters.

No clones or cyborgs of the same series as Theresa and Amber were found at the Schicksal Headquarters, which means that Otto did indeed have a secret research lab for storing and managing clones.

For example, the clone of his own mother Cecilia was found by Anti-Entropy in the underground experiments of the Dogma District at the original site of the Far East Branch.

This incident almost caused a conflict between Siegfried and the Anti-Entropy organization, but it was eventually proven that this underground laboratory was the one used to extract the Holy Blood.

Even after Siegfried left, Anti-Entropy still arranged for female members to manage that underground research lab.

Knowing she couldn't outsmart Otto, and believing Otto was currently happily working on Kallen's resurrection plan, Freya gave up on trying to outwit Otto. She figured she couldn't possibly outmaneuver this cunning old man, Otto.

After memorizing the name and appearance, Freya began studying the research materials compiled by the Jackal.

After all, the research field that Jackal is good at is exactly the research field she needs to study.

Not long after they started learning, Freya saw Rita struggling to get up. Perhaps due to lack of sleep, she yawned slightly and turned her gaze toward Freya.

That sleepy look and that alluring glance were enough to make any man who held her to sleep wish he could have his way with her during the day.

All I can say is that Rita possesses a bewitching charm.

"Rita, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"That's enough. I'll take a break at noon. The adults I'm serving are all working so hard, so I, as a little maid, should also work a little harder."

Rita, still half-asleep, rubbed her eyes, and her answer made Freya smile.

Rita's so-called little maid was entirely out of her own interest. You should know that Rita was a registered candidate and a student in the Special Class of St. Freya Middle School.

Of course, Rita is currently the only student in the Special Class at the affiliated middle school, so Rita decides her own schedule, which is why she simply doesn't go to the Special Class classroom.

St. Freya Academy originally planned to organize the grades according to the regular school teaching system, but Freya felt that such a plan was not suitable for Valkyrie.

This is why Mei is one year older than Aurora, and Bronya, who is two years younger than Aurora, are both in the Special Class at the affiliated elementary school.

Basically, those who are two or three years apart are all counted in one school year. Then they study for three years each at the affiliated elementary school, affiliated middle school, and St. Freya Academy. Only after completing all their studies can they qualify for the Valkyrie modification surgery.

Of course, such rules apply to the new 13th class of students. After all, the 13th class of students were recruited after the Valkyrie was reformed. The original students of the St. Freya Academy, as well as the candidates of the Schicksal Headquarters and branches in various places, did not need to complete all their studies due to special rules.

Although Freya has now stalled the Valkyrie modification surgery, many candidates who have met the requirements are eager to become Valkyrie as soon as possible. Even if they cannot become Type-B Valkyrie, they hope to gain the power to take revenge on the Honkai as soon as possible.

This also involved the interests of some Aristocratic Faction. Even though Freya didn't particularly like the Aristocratic Faction's Valkyrie, she still tried her best to protect the interests of all the Valkyrie.

Although Liv is Freya's personal maid, Liv has also been very busy lately as a member of the maid squad.

Not long after, Rita changed into Maid Dress in the dressing room, tied on her apron, and appeared looking refreshed.

At this moment, Rita's face showed no signs of fatigue.

"Good morning, sir..."

Rita, lifting her Maid Dress, bowed respectfully, exuding a distinctly British maid's aura.

In the romance novels that Rita liked, there often appeared the image of a maid who fell in love with her master. However, the masters in the romance novels that Rita read were all handsome middle-aged British gentlemen.

One of them was Rita's favorite romance novel, which she always enjoyed reading. Freya, being a studious child, was also very interested in the content.

Of course, Freya was unaware that the romance novel contained numerous descriptions of love and intimacy.

The maid in the story is a slutty maid who likes to have affairs with her master behind her mistress's back. The maid doesn't fall in love with the handsome, mature, and reliable master in the romance; she simply enjoys the immoral feeling of flirting with the master behind her mistress's back.

Because the content was so terrible, Freya kept bombarding Rita with attacks as she read through it.

At that moment, Rita, who was brewing tea for Freya, had no idea that soon she would be so ashamed and indignant that she would want to dig a hole and bury herself.

Although the Maid Dress was just Rita's hobby, it was influenced by Laguna.

Laguna's fondness for Maid Dress was simply because he liked the style of the Maid Dress, but Rita, influenced by him, seriously learned how to serve as a maid.

When Rita brought the warmed milk to the desk, Freya nodded her thanks.

"Thank you, Rita."
