At last, much to Alvitr's immense relief, the warship landed at Schicksal's air harbor.
Only then did Rita finally stop her "information sharing" with Su Luo. Alvitr let out a long breath of relief. Thank goodness, thank goodness—they had arrived in time. Otherwise, Miss Rita really might have spilled all of Schicksal's secrets to this boy.
"Alvitr, from here on, I'll leave it to you to take Lord Su Luo to the Immortal Blades' training room. I'll be there shortly."
After assigning Alvitr her task, Rita bowed politely, then turned and left. She still had to finish all the relevant paperwork. Once that was done, Su Luo's status as a combat consultant would be set in stone. After that, she could take her time showing him around headquarters.
As an S-rank Valkyrie and vice-captain of the Immortal Blades, Rita had the authority to make that kind of decision.
And if worst came to worst, she could just hand over her own S-rank Valkyrie salary to him.
What Rita lacked was merely a legitimate excuse to give Su Luo money openly.
"Lord Su Luo, please come with me."
Alvitr obediently accepted Rita's order. Aiming to become the ultimate useful assistant, she led Su Luo toward the Immortal Blades' exclusive training room.
Although she had no idea why Lady Rita valued this boy so highly, the current environment clearly favored girls. Because women were naturally more compatible with Honkai energy than men, girls formed the main force on the front lines against the Honkai. Still, since Lady Rita had already given the order, Alvitr would carry it out properly.
"Lord Su Luo, I just heard that from now on, you'll be our Immortal Blades' combat consultant?"
As she led him down the corridor, Alvitr finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked.
She had no intention of objecting to Rita's decision, but this was a man they were talking about. Sure, there were some men fighting on the front lines against the Honkai now, and even Schicksal's supreme overseer was male. But overall, female combat power still made up the overwhelming majority.
After all, the strongest Valkyrie, Lady Durandal, was right there as living proof.
And now they were bringing in a man to serve as combat consultant?
Was that for real?
"According to Rita, that does seem to be the case. What, do you have an opinion? If you do, just say it."
This was the job Rita had found for him. For Su Luo, whose finances were currently in crisis, it was indeed a pretty good opportunity. But he still had to consider the opinions of the other members of this so-called Immortal Blades. This girl looked lively and easy to talk to, so he might as well hear her out first.
"I-I don't really have any objections. Since it's the vice-captain's arrangement, I'm sure she has her reasons… It's just… Lord Su Luo, you'd better be careful, okay? I'm fine, but the others in the team might have some opinions. They won't say anything openly, but in private… you'd better be careful."
After thinking it over for a long while, Alvitr decided it would be better to give Su Luo a warning.
The Immortal Blades, as Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie squad, were all proud and unruly by nature. In front of the captain and vice-captain, everyone behaved like obedient little quails. But when facing other people, the members of the Immortal Blades still had their own pride.
A parachuted consultant like Su Luo would probably face a fair amount of hostility.
Even though Alvitr phrased it very tactfully, Su Luo still understood exactly what she meant.
They were worried that he had come in through the back door and had no real ability.
He had already anticipated that problem.
If he was going to accept the position of consultant, then he needed to show a bit of genuine strength.
He needed to let those girls understand what he was really capable of, and firmly establish his identity as their consultant. Rita had kindly gone out of her way to find him this job, so naturally he wouldn't make her lose face.
To put it simply—
He needed to give the girls of the Immortal Blades a proper show of force.
Got it.
At the same time, in the Immortal Blades' exclusive training room, a tall figure quietly appeared.
The moment the Valkyrie who had just exited the training room saw that figure, she immediately straightened up in solemn respect.
"Captain, you're back."
Her voice was filled with reverence, because the person before her was a genuine living legend—
Durandal.
Captain of the Immortal Blades. S-rank Valkyrie. Holder of the title of the strongest.
Though she looked even younger than the Valkyrie addressing her, no amount of respect toward her would ever be excessive.
"Mm. It seems that while I was away, all of you trained seriously. Very good."
Durandal was polite and well-mannered, and she never looked down on those around her just because of her overwhelming strength. Faced with a squad member who had trained diligently, she did not hesitate to offer praise.
The blonde girl lightly patted the Valkyrie on the shoulder.
As expected of a member of the Immortal Blades.
"Yes! We all followed the vice-captain's training schedule properly… Captain, are you going to use the training room? But shouldn't you have just returned from a mission? Did this mission go smoothly?"
Durandal's praise made the Valkyrie light up with joy.
She got praised by the captain!
That alone was enough to make today a wonderful day.
The Valkyrie took the bag from Durandal's hand and followed after her. Judging from the situation, the captain intended to continue training?
She had just returned from a mission—didn't she need to rest first?
Even though she was already the strongest Valkyrie, Captain Durandal was still this hardworking.
"Yes. The opponent was only an Emperor-class Honkai beast, so it wasn't difficult to deal with. Where is Rita? Is she at headquarters?"
Durandal spoke in an utterly calm tone, as though she had only handled some trivial little matter.
That breezy attitude left the Valkyrie following behind her inwardly speechless.
Only an Emperor-class Honkai beast.
That kind of statement was something only Lady Durandal could say so casually.
"As for the vice-captain, I just received word that she's also returned to headquarters. But she went to the personnel department first. Captain… it seems the vice-captain wants to find a combat consultant for the Immortal Blades. Did Lady Durandal know about this?"
After hesitating for a moment, the Valkyrie shared the information she had just learned with Durandal.
Normally, all internal team affairs were arranged by the vice-captain. But this matter felt a little off to her. She really did think it was something Lady Durandal ought to hear about.
"A combat consultant? Rita decided this?"
Even Durandal was rather surprised.
How could the Immortal Blades possibly need some sort of combat consultant?
Still, since it was Rita's decision, there was probably a reason behind it.
It was just that she wondered—
Which Valkyrie could possibly be qualified to come to the Immortal Blades and serve as their combat consultant?
