Fu Hua, the Hardworking Genius

A kind-hearted little angel naturally can't bear to see anyone alone.

"..."

Upon hearing Seele's words, Fu Hua's heart sank.

Oh no, she's been completely discovered.

Sure enough, after losing Feather of Dust's power, she couldn't even handle such a small matter.

"Come on, Fu Hua, it'll be more fun with more people."

Himeko also raised her Coke as an invitation.

There was nothing she could do; Theresa wouldn't allow her to drink alcohol, so she drank some of this stuff to relieve her boredom.

With Himeko speaking up, Fu Hua couldn't refuse and could only follow Seele to the picnic mat.

"Headmistress, Major Himeko."

Fu Hua greeted her respectfully.

"Sit wherever you like. There's no need to worry about status at a time like this." Himeko moved aside and waved her hand. "But, it's a holiday and you're still wearing your uniform. You're too old-fashioned. It's like you're older than me."

Among the various colors and styles of casual wear, Fu Hua, who wore both the Valkyrie and the white coat of St. Freya, was indeed quite eye-catching.

"I'm just used to it." Fu Hua explained softly, her gaze sweeping over Shi Hen and the others, before she clasped her hands in a fist and bowed, "Fu Hua, the A-rank Valkyrie of the Fifth Squad, greets you all, please guide me."

Well, fifty thousand years have passed, and the honest man of the past has now become an ancient relic.

Chapter 169 Fu Hua, the Hard-Working Genius

"A-A level!?"

Upon hearing this word, Kiana was instantly startled, followed by intense vigilance.

During this period, those who came to spar with her were mostly B-rank Valkyrie, but they were already difficult for her to handle. If this A-rank Valkyrie were to also make a move...

"Fu Hua is actually A-rank Valkyrie?"

Seele couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Having been at St. Freya for about half a month, the girl has come to a clear understanding of just what kind of existence A-rank Valkyrie truly is in this academy.

Even Bronya... oh, this one didn't react, at least not outwardly.

"A-rank Valkyrie, is she that powerful?"

Only Mei remained clueless.

"There are nearly a thousand students in the entire St. Freya Academy, but fewer than five can obtain the title of A-rank Valkyrie." Mei explained to Mei, Shi Hen also exclaimed slightly, "I didn't expect Fu Hua to be A-rank Valkyrie. No wonder she can become the Class President."

Although the boy often used S-rank Valkyrie as a unit of measurement, for most Valkyrie, A-rank is already an unimaginable figure.

Taking the Far East Branch as an example, there are more than two hundred Valkyrie of Rank B or above, but the total number of A-rank Valkyrie does not exceed twenty.

This is even including the situation at the St. Freya Academy.

If we only consider St. Freya, being able to become B-rank Valkyrie already speaks volumes about her strength.

Because St. Freya is an academy that trains Valkyrie.

In other words, the students there can only be considered as reserves, and their training directions are different; not everyone is trained to be a combatant.

Not everyone's Honkai Energy adaptability is strong enough to support their activity on the front lines.

Even with the addition of Artificial Stigmata technology.

The goal of most people is simply to pass the C-rank or D-rank Valkyrie assessment upon graduation.

Moreover, just like in Naruto, different levels of Valkyrie also have requirements for their level of knowledge; it's not that you can definitely be promoted just because you have high combat power.

Of course, this rule largely depends on the mood of the top boss.

Even if you hung Li Dazhentou up and beat him a hundred times, turning his evil into a saintly image, the boy still wouldn't believe that this guy could pass the written test for the C-rank Valkyrie assessment.

A certain Miss Miko, also from five hundred years ago, needed Himeko's help even to find a few Gray Serpent; otherwise, they would most likely have disappeared halfway through.

"I see."

Mei nodded knowingly, and immediately felt a deep respect for Mei Fu Hua.

This is a top student in the Honkai 3rd world.

"There's no need for that, I'm just an ordinary student."

Fu Hua said sincerely.

She genuinely didn't think that A-rank Valkyrie were anything special.

If it weren't for the fact that being A-rank Valkyrie would make things easier, she would have preferred to remain a B-rank Valkyrie.

"That's right, I'm clearly A-rank Valkyrie, so why don't you guys show me any more respect?"

Himeko echoed, while glaring at a certain white-haired girl.

Last night, the other person even stole one of her chicken legs.

"Ha, has someone fallen so low that they can only show off in front of a bunch of kids?"

Theresa immediately launched a taunt.

"Yes, after all, I am such a useless adult."

With a wry smile and a sigh, Himeko emphasized the word "big".

In an instant, the headmaster once again teetered on the brink of losing control.

"Please sit down, Fu Hua. Just call me Shi Hen."

As he spoke, Shi Hen pointed to Kiana and the others beside him and introduced them one by one.

Of course, Kiana's surname was not mentioned.

Kaslana's name is very well-known in this Far East region.

However, as long as Kiana herself doesn't directly claim that she is one of the three great families, Kaslana, most people will only keep their doubts to themselves.

More importantly, Kiana doesn't yet have the strength to match Kaslana, so everyone gets used to it as the battle progresses.

Who would have thought that this clumsy white-haired idiot was actually the runaway princess of the Schicksal Church?

At least during sparring sessions, Shi Hen has never seen anyone surrender just because of a name.

"It seems that you are the transfer students who arrived a while ago." Fu Hua's gaze swept over the group one by one, finally settling on the boy. "To be able to pass the St. Freya Academy's assessment, Shi Hen must have some extraordinary abilities."

At this moment, Fu Hua was genuinely grateful for the boy's appearance.

As St. Freya's first male student, he naturally attracted attention, and even if she did something slightly outrageous, he could find a perfect excuse.

But upon hearing this, Kiana and the others immediately became alert.

Without a doubt, the other party came for Shi Hen.

This is also a formidable rival.

Yes, a formidable rival in the physical sense.

Kiana felt that she was going to get beaten up a lot more in the future.

The thought that even A-rank Valkyrie would be involved fueled the girl's growing desire for power.

Damn it, she also wants to become A-rank Valkyrie so she can beat up those guys who keep bothering Shi Hen, and also find out where her stinky old man is from Theresa!

"Excuse me... did I say something wrong?"

Noticing the subtle hostility emanating from the group, Fu Hua asked in confusion.

Using small compliments to build rapport is a common social skill.

"Of course not. This kid is quite capable in some areas. Fu Hua, you should definitely interact with him more."

Himeko patted Himeko Fu Hua on the shoulder, looking like she was enjoying the show.

At least, even excluding mecha piloting, the boy is quite skilled with firearms, and his accuracy is in no way inferior to most B-rank Valkyrie.

"Yes, Major Himeko."

Fu Hua nodded solemnly, as if he had received some important mission.

"Ah! Himeko, what are you doing?!"

Kiana instantly puffed up her cheeks in anger.

All you do is cause her trouble!

"Fu Hua is a good student who has already achieved the title of A-rank Valkyrie at such a young age. With her help, you guys can improve even faster." Himeko explained seriously, then stretched out her arm and punched the white-haired girl on the head. "Also, how many times have I told you, don't call me auntie!"

She's still very young.

"Hmph! I can become an A-rank... no, an S-rank Valkyrie myself very soon!"

With a pout, Kiana picked up a bag of potato chips and started crunching away, while giving Himeko a defiant glare, clearly mistaking the chips for some troublesome character.

"Kiana, it's good to have confidence in yourself, but please remember that haste makes waste."

Fu Hua earnestly advised.

"Hmph! It's none of your business!"

Kiana tossed her head back.

In her mind, this A-rank Valkyrie could already be classified as an enemy.

Moreover... she couldn't understand what the other person was saying at all.

The white-haired girl always felt that this guy was insulting her with words like "speed" and "reach".

"Fu Hua, how can I become A-rank Valkyrie like you?"

Mei asked a question, unaware of the unusual situation among the group.

Theresa and Himeko's presence was enough to intimidate most of the students, which prevented the girl from truly realizing the terrifying popularity of Shi Hen in St. Freya.

Moreover, she didn't sense any particular emotion from Fu Hua.

From beginning to end, this A-rank Valkyrie was like a bottomless well, as if nothing could stir her emotions.

When facing Fu Hua, Mei couldn't help but feel that the person standing in front of her was an old man who had lived through countless years, rather than a girl of the same age as herself.

"Diligence leads to mastery, while idleness leads to ruin. As long as you persist in making progress every day, one day you too will be able to become A-rank Valkyrie."

Fu Hua said earnestly.

"..." Mei carefully examined Fu Hua for a while, making sure that the other party was really not joking, before slowly Mei, "I have learned something."

She realized that this guy was a pure hard worker.

"Haha, Fu Hua is one of the most hardworking people in the entire academy."

Even on weekends, she makes sure to do her morning exercise every day.

Himeko smiled and echoed.

"Yes, he's so much better than that drunkard who gets drunk whenever he has a spare moment."

Theresa smiled as well.

"After all, a full-bodied wine is much better than bitter melon juice, isn't it?"

Himeko glanced sideways at the White-haired Nun, Himeko smile widening.

"Bitter melon juice is the healthiest drink in the world!"

Theresa's tone was firm.

"But even so, someone hasn't grown up much~"

Himeko tilted her head back at a 45-degree angle, her Amber eyes filled with an arrogant disdain for the world.

"So what if someone is big? They still can't find a partner and end up drowning their sorrows in their room."

Theresa delivers the fatal blow.

"..."
