What Was There to Watch?
Long-handled weapons like cross spears were difficult to use in the first place. The girl serving as Maria's stand-in was only an ordinary B-rank Valkyrie, and she certainly did not know the Schariac Family's spear techniques.
So naturally, her fighting did not look very good. But... the audience clearly was not paying attention to her combat form.

Of course, K422 had not expected this martial arts tournament to be conducted in such a farcical manner.
Still, it was much better than holding a Paralympics.
At least the spectators from each branch did not have to watch their own Valkyries take the stage in casts and bandages.

The ownership of Black Abyss White Flower therefore became a matter for Otto and the branches to negotiate.

Within Schicksal, Valkyrie trainees—those at C-rank and D-rank—would accompany official Valkyries on various missions, finding the fields that suited them through experience.
It was relatively rare for someone like Himeko to directly join a unit stationed on the very front lines of the Honkai
