Wait a minute! Wasn't it just supposed to be helping with training, and starting today?
Seeing this sudden change, Kiana hesitated to speak, but she had already agreed and couldn't interrupt. In the end, she was pushed out of the house in a daze.
Mei, overjoyed, pulled Sai to the kitchen.
Outside the door, looking at the closed door, Kiana opened her mouth several times, but couldn't describe her feelings.
In the end, she could only hang her head in dejection and turn away.
Kiana kept reassuring herself that she could come back to see Qi Shi as soon as the training was over, and that she would be able to have a big meal when she got back. She went to St. Freya's training ground, trying to calm herself down through training.
However, in the training field, she could never concentrate. She was absent-minded during the battle, made many mistakes, and her thoughts seemed to keep drifting towards home.
Why can't I calm down?
Kiana stopped practicing, sat on a fallen training robot, rested her chin on her hand, and let out a long breath. An indescribable emotion lingered in her heart, and wild thoughts kept swirling in her mind, impossible to shake off.
Kiana rested her chin on her hand and looked at the metal wall, as if she could see across the vast distance to the other side of the dormitory.
She couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong!
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
Chapter 64 Wendy
Under the relentless onslaught, the specially made sandbag shook violently. Bianca's eyes were focused, her fists moving like afterimages, while the metal fasteners on the roof creaked incessantly.
This is not due to poor facilities, but rather because even with Schicksal's advanced technology, this is the best they could manage to provide for Bianca's training.
The specially made sandbag, battered and teetering, finally stopped when Bianca let out a soft breath and a smile appeared on her face.
Not far away, a beautiful woman dressed in a maid outfit stood there with an elegant and alluring air. Rita's beautiful eyes flickered slightly when she saw this scene.
It seems like Lady Durandal has been smiling more lately.
Of course, Lady Durandal is usually a very cheerful person, but after assisting her for so many years, she can still distinguish her cheerful expression and happy smile.
It seems that ever since that accident happened half a month ago, he has been smiling all the time, and his strength has increased to a terrifying level.
What an enviable talent! But if it's Lady Durandal, it's hard to feel jealous.
After all, Lady Durandal is so beautiful, just like a pure and bright sun.
That smile must have come from the joy of saving other worlds.
"Mr. Flame, I'm off on a mission now," Bianca said after chatting for a while after training.
During this period, they practiced together almost every day, and her skills improved rapidly.
Each time he watched Durandal disappear, Otto would fall silent in the bishop's room.
However, judging from the other party's appearance, they were clearly unwilling to reveal the specifics. Even if he asked, he would not get any results. However, he could roughly guess that someone, or someone like the Holy Sword Durandal, had instructed Bianca to do something in response to the world's instructions, forbidding her from revealing the contents to others.
He had guessed it, but seeing the important person he had chosen constantly on the run still made him feel a little uneasy.
Compared to his mood, the two people who caused all of this felt much better.
Whether it's the close companionship or the journey to save the world, Bianca's face is always filled with smiles. As someone who has personally nurtured such a kind, hardworking, and grateful girl and is constantly receiving feedback from her, Qi Shi naturally wears a genuine smile as well.
The inhabitants of the saved world smiled.
A world was born only when Otto was injured.
As the ace among the Valkyries and the captain of the Undying Blade, Bianca wasn't always on vacation. Besides her usual journeys through the worlds to hone her combat skills, the two had also had regular training sessions in the training grounds and carried out missions against the Honkai together during these days.
"Be extra careful."
"Don't worry, I will definitely do a great job."
Qi Shi chuckled and offered his words of advice, showing his concern. Bianca nodded earnestly in response, saying nothing more, everything was understood without being spoken.
A smile appeared on her beautiful face as she said softly, "Let's have a good chat when we get back, Mr. Flame."
She is never one to hesitate, and after spending these days together, she has made up her mind.
Qi Shi smiled and replied gently, "Alright, I'm always happy to oblige."
They exchanged knowing smiles, and Bianca, along with Rita, went to gather the Undying Blade squad.
Bianca went off to carry out a mission, and it was still night in the Far East, so Qi Shi had some free time after a long time.
After stroking his chin and considering for a moment, Qi Shi raised his consciousness tendrils and opened a deep blue door in front of him, into which flames traced a beautiful arc.
Let's train another new mount!
Tianming - Oceania Branch.
"She's here, stop talking."
Inside the spacious and beautiful dining hall, the atmosphere was anything but comfortable. Two Valkyries who were talking saw the figure enter, and one of them immediately whispered something.
However, her companion scoffed, not caring at all about being overheard: "Hmph, are you afraid of what others say? We're out there on missions, fighting to the death, while she's just sitting in the base doing nothing, a parasite eating for free."
The two were not isolated cases. Upon seeing the figures entering, the scene was like a stone thrown into a lake, breaking the calm. The many Valkyries present began to discuss among themselves, some whispering in small groups, others casting disgusted glances.
"That's it, isn't it..."
"Yes, I heard that all the funds have gone down the drain."
"It might go out of control and turn into a monster one day, so why keep this menace around?"
The one being treated so coldly was a green-haired girl in a wheelchair, wearing a hospital gown. She was slender and thin, with a sickly pale complexion. Her delicate features were visible through her hair, but she exuded a dejected and lifeless aura. Her head was lowered, and her unkempt green hair covered her eyes, making them appear lifeless.
Wendy drove through the cafeteria, listening to the various discussions and disgusted looks on both sides. She kept her head down and remained silent, only her thin lips, slightly bitten until they bled, revealed that she was not entirely unmoved by the situation.
I silently went to the food station and received a lunch that was clearly filled with disgust and prejudice, short of the proper weight, and spilled a lot onto my plate. I left without saying a word.
In the branch's garden, she came to a corner where she usually stayed alone. It was empty, quiet, and peaceful. This was the only sanctuary here that could soothe her soul.
The spoon landed on the plate, and the person mechanically finished their lunch, head down, and returned to the cafeteria. Amidst the disapproving comments from those around them, the person washed the plate and returned it.
Returning to the corner of the garden, he looked up at the sunlight streaming down his face, motionless like a soulless corpse. The warm sunlight shone on him, making his body feel cozy. He basked in the sun quietly for a long time, and only then did his empty eyes seem to regain some of their sparkle.
After more than an hour, Wendy quietly withdrew her gaze and began to move her wheelchair again.
It's time for routine checks.
"Hmm~ It's time for your physical exam."
However, the researchers today were a little different. When Wendy arrived at the lab, she looked at the person in the white coat in the room and spoke to him in a tone as if she were coaxing a child.
Chapter 65 Wendy's Examination
The researcher, dressed in a white lab coat, was adjusting a syringe in his hand. An unknown, crystalline liquid clung to the gleaming needle, and he spoke in a suspicious tone.
Wendy stopped at the door of the research lab for a moment without going in.
After a moment, she calmly said, "Routine checkups shouldn't require that, right?"
"Oh, you mean this? We really don't need it." Upon hearing this, the researcher glanced at the syringe in his hand and nodded casually, "I just happened to see it and couldn't resist giving it a try."
"But why are you reacting so strongly? Are you afraid of needles?"
Wendy's expression remained unchanged; she merely responded with a cold indifference, a coldness that suggested she had given up on everything. She entered the room in her wheelchair and stopped in front of him.
"If you need to get tested, do it quickly."
It's all meaningless anyway.
"Since you've said that, let's begin."
This strange researcher was none other than Qi Shi. He casually tossed aside the syringe in his hand and began his 'own' task, appearing trustworthy.
It's my first time being a doctor—no, a researcher—and I'm a little excited.
Although Wendy seemed to be in a slump, she didn't show any extreme emotions and obediently followed the instructions for the examination.
The girl was half-lying on the research table. Qi Shi examined her legs and reached out to press on them.
The girl's long, beautiful legs were pale and sickly, with bandages wrapped around her thighs. You could see traces of blood and smell the disinfectant, as well as unhealed needle marks, probably left from sampling and research.
He pressed harder with his hands and asked, "Don't you feel anything at all?"
Faced with Qi Shi's question, as if touching a taboo, Wendy simply looked over silently, her eyes seeming to ripple with a tide leading to an abyss.
Finally, she answered in a somewhat low voice.
"no feeling."
Qi Shi continued with other examinations, his movements appearing very professional. He pressed this and looked at that, using various instruments to scan, but in reality, he didn't need these so-called instruments at all. These shoddy devices were not as clear as his eyes.
The two looked at each other, observing Wendy's pupils. After doing this, he put down the pen and lamp he was using for examination and nodded.
"Not bad, everything is healthy."
"However, the desire for the gem doesn't seem to affect one's mental state, does it?"
He looked at Wendy on the experimental table and spoke through her dejected and lifeless eyes.
Seeing the indifferent gaze, Wendy did not respond, but silently sat up and prepared to leave.
Qi Shi shook his head and said, "Alright, the atmosphere at the Oceania branch is really not good; it's uncomfortable to stay there."
Upon hearing this, Wendy stopped what she was doing, glanced at the name tag on his chest, and gave him a look that said, "What are you talking about?"
"Don't move yet, let me treat your wound." Qi Shi said softly, stopping her movements. Wendy obeyed and stopped.
He knelt down and gently unwrapped the blood-stained bandage. His thigh was covered in traces of flesh and blood that had been sampled. He gently and slowly used cotton swabs to apply medicine, his movements seemingly sparkling with tiny lights. Then he wrapped it with a clean bandage.
Wendy remained silent throughout, not uttering a sound. She could only feel that the other person's movements were very gentle, and after the new bandage was applied, the wound did feel much more comfortable.
Then Qi Shi got up and went to the cabinet where various things were placed. He picked and chose, and when he came back, he handed a few pills and a glass of warm water to the other person.
"Here, eat this."
Wendy took the pills and looked at them. Some of them were familiar to her; they were antibiotics or similar medications that she usually took. When conducting experiments, she would always take a handful of different kinds of pills.
However, today is not the day for the experiment.
Moreover, looking at her hand, she noticed two small, square crystal-like objects with purple light patterns. They seemed suspicious, as she had never seen anything like them before.
Although this wasn't a regular procedure, Wendy silently looked at the other person for a moment before swallowing all the pills.
"How is it?" After drinking water and putting down the cup, Qi asked. Wendy answered briefly in her usual tone.
