As Ana laid eyes on the familiar entrance of Saint Freya Academy, a myriad of emotions overwheld her, feeling as if she had returned from another lifeti.
It had been too long since she last visited; now, even this place felt sowhat unfamiliar. Unfortunately, during this return, she couldn't stay for long either, as soon the Far East Branch would engage in conflict with Schicksal.
Compared to Anti-Entropy, the Far East Branch relied entirely on resources provided by Schicksal Headquarters, lacking any real capacity to confront them head-on. The "disaster" faced by Anti-Entropy against the Second Herrscher further reduced the Far East Branch to re strays, forced into guerrilla warfare. Consequently, everyone at Saint Freya had no choice but to part ways.
"What's wrong? You seem quite down," echoed a spirited female voice beside Ana. A hand gently rested on her shoulder—it was Hiko.
"It's nothing, just feeling a bit sentintal," Ana shook her head, feigning nonchalance.
"Hahaha, despite changes over ti, students eventually graduate. Seeing their growth should make us happy instead."
Ana remained silent, turning away to gaze into the distance. Her true sorrow stemd not from nostalgia but from the woman standing next to her.
Instead of responding, Ana turned to gaze into the distance. The true source of her lancholy was actually the woman beside her.
Honestly, she wasn't quite sure how to conclude this final lesson.
In terms of narrative progression, "The Last Lesson" reached its climax with impeccable execution, leaving players intrigued and eager for more.
However, ultimately, Hiko fell into Virtual Space under those circumstances.
To rescue her, Ana would need to enter Virtual Space as well, but despite being arrogant and overconfident, the Herrscher of the Void wasn't foolish.
Would the Herrscher willingly pull Ana into Virtual Space? That seed unlikely!
That entity is notoriously cunning; targeting Radlitsa and Theresa felt like picking low-hanging fruit. However, it didn't anticipate that Hiko had equipped Schicksal's latest anti-Herrscher armor, leading to its defeat.
As for Ana's capabilities, Sirin herself didn't even need to assess them; even Kiana, the clueless paracium, knew well enough. Everyone recognized Ana as Saint Freya Academy's strongest combatant. Given this context, if the Herrscher of the Void still considered her an easy target, it must have lost its marbles.
In that case, if Ana wanted to assist Hiko, her only option would be—
Her eyes flickered, contemplating its feasibility.
The Sirin Project was rely an experint, and taking such action would, in a sense, tread on Otto's sensitive territory. The consequences could be dire...
"You're right, but should the need arise in the future, Hiko," Ana paused, her gaze filled with earnestness, "make sure to co to first!"
With those words, she smiled as if it were a jest.
"I can't speak for Lord Bishop, but I can effortlessly vanquish ordinary Herrschers. Even against the Second Herrscher from the ti of the Second Honkai Eruption, my current self stands a formidable chance."
Ana wasn't joking; with her current capabilities—holy blood, Kaslana Stigmata, Gem of Desire, and Abyss Flower—her strength rivaled Goddess Red Kite at her peak. The only limitation was the absence of Fenghuang Down, preventing her from employing psychic abilities directly.
Although she lacked psychic attack capabilities, she possessed formidable defensive counterasures.
These were rewards she obtained during her ti in London, serving as both a the Cocoon of Finality and a gift from that individual. It was unfortunate that even within the Elysian Realm, he couldn't perceive their presence... truly regrettable...
"Indeed, you live up to being the strongest Valkyrie of our Far East Branch."
Hiko briefly paused before smiling softly. Honestly, she wasn't quite sure why Ana shared this information; it seed unrelated at first glance. Nevertheless, she chose to accept it without further questioning.
She trusted that Ana wouldn't speak without purpose; there must be a reason behind these words, and all Hiko needed to do was listen attentively.
As the saying goes, "Heed good advice, enjoy a full al."
And when the ti cos, would she follow it? Most likely, yes.
Ana, well aware of Hiko's trusting nature, could only respond with a sowhat helpless smile. If that's the case, for Hiko's sake, she might have to make so compromises, but just...
In reality, within Brother Cake's live stream:
At this mont, the footage showed Ana effortlessly destroying MSR-7 Wotan.
[Wow! That's so badass!]
"This is the true Herrscher of Wind! What was Wendy even about?"
"Huh?! Got sothing against my Heavenly Empress Wendy?"
"Hey, hey, this is Honkai Impact 3, not so other ga!"
"The truth has been revealed: it wasn't the Herrscher of Wind who was weak, but Wendy herself. So heart-wrenching!"
"Waaah, Wendy, my Wendy! She's still alive! Thank goodness! Old Mi, you finally stopped throwing curveballs! Grateful to Ana for taking that hit for Wendy, so reassuring..."
"Wait, why take away the Gem of Desire though?"
"Dude, do you think Wendy could have protected it? Besides, can she really be considered a Herrscher?"
Bullet comnts rapidly scrolled across the screen as Brother Cake watched intently without blinking.
"Lunaris the Moon Knight? I guarantee this will definitely be the next initial S-rank armor release! If it isn't..."
Brother Cake abruptly cut himself off, his expression sowhat uncertain.
After all, Old Mi had already pulled a surprise move once before. What if they decided not to introduce it now? Then he would just...
"Brother Cake, what happened to your prediction?"
"Ha ha, Brother Cake got scared. This is hilarious, folks."
"Cough, cough, cough—"
As Brother Cake watched the scrolling bullet comnts, he cleared his throat.
"Gambling isn't good, so let's not bet this ti! If nothing else appears later, I'll give out a big giveaway prize to everyone!"
[Cut it out, Brother Cake! Don't twist the concept!]
[Steady win here - Brother Cake is about to splurge, ha ha ha!]
[Thank you for the giveaway, Brother Cake!] x100
Unfazed by these comnts, Brother Cake knew he had ample funds; streaming was purely a hobby for him. He often distributed giveaways regularly anyway, and if he relied solely on streaming inco, he would have starved long ago.
This ti, however, he had a premonition that the armor just revealed would inevitably be Ana's armor, likely starting as an S-rank.
But due to being backstabbed before, Brother Cake couldn't guarantee it would be the first armor release. He suspected Old Mi might introduce an initial A-rank armor as a transitional step.
[Still, this armor looks badass! Wendy cuddled in Ana's arms seems perfect!]
[Bros, tomorrow, I expect fan art featuring them on our favorite site!]
[Yesss, I'm starting to draw right now!]
[Wow, you're serious, dude?!]
[I thought it was a joke, but turns out you're actually an artist! Selfie ti!]
The appearance of a professional artist caused a tidal wave of excitent among the bullet comnts. The live stream viewers hastily followed the illustrator's account, resulting in a flurry of entries and exits from the chat.
While everyone was distracted, Brother Cake discreetly opened a private ssage to the artist.
"Lady Artist, could you please send a copy once it's completed?"
Expecting no response, he was surprised when a reply appeared within seconds.
"No problem."
