Amidst the sound of firecrackers, everyone at St. Freya High School spent a happy New Year together.
Ryn spent a pleasant evening with everyone, and then prepared to go with Bronya to find Seele.
"No, Bronya promised Seele that the next time they meet will be when Bronya brings Seele back. Ryn, please help Bronya bring some gifts and blessings! I won't go." Bronya tearfully refused Ryn.
"Are you sure you're not going? Did your brain get fried from drinking too much last time?" Ryn looked at Bronya in shock. "If you're not going, I'll go by myself."
"Mm."
Ryn checked in with Kiana, then, carrying large and small bags of gifts, he ran off to the Sea of Quanta.
Seeing Seele's happy expression, calling him "Brother Ryn" one after another, she had completely forgotten about Bronya.
Ryn sighed helplessly. He had told Bronya long ago to watch less TV dramas. The foolish duckling had been thoroughly poisoned, still playing hard to get while Seele was about to be snatched away by him.

After graduation, Wendy and Totori were filled with uncertainty. They were both A-rank Valkyries, but after leaving the academy, they didn't know where in the vast world to call home.
Originally, the two planned to be support-type Valkyries, going wherever there were missions and traveling the world in their spare time. But an invitation letter from the Oceania Branch changed their minds.
Wendy was hailed as a potential S-rank Valkyrie, destined to become one in the future. But she knew she couldn't become an S-rank on her own. The email from the Oceania Branch stated that Schicksal had launched a secret research project, hoping to use the Gem of Desire to develop armament capable of rivaling a Herrscher, and Wendy was the most suitable candidate for this armament.
Elated, Wendy and Totori immediately reported to Theresa, preparing to head to the Oceania Branch. Theresa was also very happy to hear the news, as Wendy and her peers were her students, and she was the one who recommended them for the experiment at the Oceania Branch.
Theresa knew that without a powerful Valkyrie battlesuit, it would be difficult for Wendy to be promoted to S-rank Valkyrie based on her individual strength alone. But Grandpa would certainly not give Wendy the fourth-generation God-Slaying Armor, so Wendy could only rely on the Herrscher-rivaling armament being researched by the Oceania Branch.
After arranging the procedures, Theresa personally saw Wendy and the others off.
Before they left, Theresa earnestly and repeatedly reminded Wendy and Totori.
"Once you become S-rank Valkyries, don't forget to come back and visit. Also, don't end up like Ryn and Kika. Remember my teachings..."
"Hehe, I will definitely remember the Principal's teachings, and everyone at St. Freya High School. Principal, take care of yourself!"
Wendy held Totori's hand, and the two tearfully bid farewell to Theresa.
What a wonderful start... It was a pity that Theresa didn't know, and neither did Wendy and Totori, the true nature of this so-called armament research.

Upon reaching A-rank Valkyrie, one would frequently receive missions directly from Schicksal.
Fu Hua often went out on missions, and Ryn and Kika were no exception.
However, to prevent himself from causing too much of a commotion, Ryn brought his limiter with him.
Thus, the story of Kamen Rider Build began to spread throughout the world. Whenever an evil monster rampaged, the righteous and kind Kamen Rider Build would descend from the sky and finish it off with a cool Rider Kick.
And so, the public-facing organization Anti-Entropy became a huge hit, because Anti-Entropy had been filming tokusatsu shows to raise funds for the organization. Tokusatsu shows like Arahato, Super Sentai, and Masked Rider were all produced by Anti-Entropy.
Seeing Anti-Entropy's popularity soar because of Ryn's actions, Otto's face turned green with envy. Watching Anti-Entropy make money was more painful than watching Schicksal lose it.
Thus, the long-shelved Valkyrie Idol Project was brought back to the table. The popularity of tokusatsu would also drive the entertainment industry's popularity, that's logical, right?
Now, both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were making a killing. Even Rita had already teamed up with Durandal to debut as magical girls.
Hilarious. Otto even wanted Yae Sakura and Kallen to come together for a live-action remake of "Kallen: Sakura Dies Twice," and for that, he was chased and hacked at by Yae Sakura for ten city blocks.
Only after Yae Sakura had destroyed three of Otto's Soulium bodies did he manage to have a proper conversation with the barely placated Yae Sakura.
"What did I ever do to you? I just made a little game to get back at you a bit. Do you really have to chase me from St. Freya High School to Schicksal HQ? Did you really have to chase me halfway across the world?" Otto warily eyed the blade in Yae Sakura's hand, worried she might strike again at any moment.
"If you think I'm in the wrong, then I apologize. Or, how about I kowtow to you?" Otto looked at Yae Sakura with a playful grin.
"I really want to just cut you down, Luocha." Yae Sakura took a few deep breaths and then turned to leave.
"What do you mean? Judah told you!" The smile on Otto's face vanished, his teasing expression turning to embarrassment.
"No matter how many bodies you change... the soul remains the same." Yae Sakura glanced back at Otto, then vanished from the street.
If Yae Sakura knows, then Kallen must know too! Then my acting like a child and whining... Aaaah, my lifelong reputation!
Otto hugged a utility pole and repeatedly smashed his head against it. He wanted to escape this planet right now.
This scene dumbfounded the Valkyries who had chased after him.
"Should we notify Lady Amber that Lord Otto has gone mad?" "What should we do, did that lunatic Yae Sakura beat the Overseer silly?" "Should we go kill her to avenge the Overseer?" "Let's buy a coffin for the Overseer first!" "Hehehe, how about while he's still warm..."
Duan—
Otto punched the little head of the Valkyrie who had uttered the profane words, then straightened his clothes and returned to normal.
"Let's go. Remember, you didn't see anything just now!"
"Yes, Lord Overseer!"
Time slowly passed. Watching the new dramas constantly being broadcast on TV, Yae Sakura discovered that filming TV series seemed to be quite interesting after all. In the end, she and Kallen hit it off and decided to do a live-action remake of "Kallen Fantasy."
Because Judah's singing was surprisingly good, she was dragged away by Kallen to be her lead singer.
Kallen's entire family debuted!
Now, in the past, everyone at Schicksal could only squat with Otto to grab Theresa's merchandise and records. Now they could squat with Otto to grab Kallen's merchandise.
