Fu Hua has experienced countless misfortunes throughout her long life.
The passing of teachers, the departure of friends, the dormancy of companions, the betrayal of disciples, the death of disciples...
Sometimes, Fu Hua feels incredibly unlucky, that all the bad things happen to her.
But she's not the type to blame others for this, so while she occasionally feels unlucky, she doesn't think about it anymore.
Now, this bad luck has come in handy.
Although this use makes Fu Hua somewhat frustrated, it's also... a good thing, right?
"My luck is terrible, but even now, I don't believe my choices are necessarily wrong. After all... everything has its limits."
Although this answer is based on the assumption that she will inevitably make the wrong choice, Fu Hua doesn't want others to blindly rely on her luck.
After all, who can say for sure about something as elusive as luck?
Maybe her luck just improved for a moment, and the correct answer suddenly popped up.
Kiana responded to Fu Hua's warning with a fitting response.
"Don't worry, Class Monitor! We trust you more than we trust the so-called coincidences!"
Fu Hua's face was expressionless, but her heart was pounding.
She should be happy to be trusted like that, right?
But for some reason, she couldn't feel happy.
With a hint of helplessness, she waved her hand feebly, "It's up to you."
After all, she had given the warning and the answer, and whatever accidents happened next were none of her business.
"Hmph, just based on pure intuition, I think C is correct!"
Kiana wiped her nose, a confident smile flashing across her face. With this intuition, she nailed Fu Hua's attempt at a rise.
Hearing this, Mei glanced sideways.
Although Kiana's intuition seemed to have been wrong, in terms of accuracy, it's definitely much better than the others.
"Since Kiana and Fu Hua both said so, I think this question should be answer C."
Mei nodded, then looked at Bronya, "Since this question is about your experience, Bronya, then let..."
Einstein placed her hand on Bronya's shoulder and whispered to her.
Unclear what she said, Bronya, her expression slightly agitated, said directly, "Let's let Dr. Einstein and the others answer this question. That should be okay, right? Mei-neesan?
"No problem. After all, this is a question about your journey. We have no objection whether you answer it or leave it to someone else."
St. Freya's people are all generous and naturally don't care about this.
However, Mei still kept her eyes on Einstein.
"Of course—Dr. Einstein, isn't that a bit unkind of you to do this?"
Although she couldn't hear what the two said, it was clear that Bronya's decision to give the choice was related to what Einstein said.
Einstein's expression remained unchanged, not at all embarrassed. "We have to compete sometimes... after all. We all have our own demands."
"Besides, it's an exchange of interests, not against the rules."
She had no choice but to offer something in exchange for the right to answer questions.
Compared to the large number of people at St. Freya Academy, Anti-Entropy only had a few prominent figures.
Plus, the questions were always related to St. Freya, so naturally, they needed to use some legitimate means to gain some opportunities.
Mei rolled her eyes and said nothing more.
She approached Bronya and got straight to the point, "Bronya, what did Dr. Einstein just say to you?" She was still quite interested in what Ein had just said.
Bronya didn't hide anything; it wasn't anything shameful. She said calmly, "It's about the Sea of Quanta."
Einstein told her about The Deep, a device from a previous era that Anti-Entropy had recently discovered and could access the Sea of Quanta.
Understanding that this might be related to saving Seele, Bronya, having discerned Einstein's intentions, did her a favor and offered the option to answer the question.
In reality, even if Bronya pretended to be ignorant, they would likely share this information later, and Ein would do her part. After all, Bronya was Welt's heir. In her eyes, people are actually considered her own.
During the brief moment Bronya and Mei exchanged their thoughts,
Ein also reached a conclusion.
Luckily, it was correct.
If a red light had appeared, she would have wanted to die.
This result is truly a cause for celebration.
Bronya has obtained a clue to saving Seele.
Einstein has gained the longed-for choice and the right to choose.
The fact that Fu Hua is an unlucky person has been further cemented.
The others were happily enjoying the spectacle.
All of them can say is that everyone has a bright future.
The imagery surrounding this question slowly unfolded.
Everyone's attention was focused.
Regardless of who they were, they were all concerned about the so-called good guys, Otto and Cocolia. They are interested in what these three shocking reversals are like.
The opening scene shows a short boy talking to Bronya, clad in silver-white combat Valkyrie Battlesuit and powered by a comet.
The boy was unfamiliar to St. Freya, but familiar to Anti-Entropy.
That was exactly what Anti-Entropy leader Welt Yang looked like before he inherited the title of Welt.
His name was Joachim Nokianvirtanen.
Einstein shared this secret with the unsuspecting members of St. Freya Academy.
They all looked at Welt in surprise. Unable to believe that this somewhat melancholic middle-aged man had once been such a petite and adorable little boy.
Welt smiled wryly. Looking at the image of his past self, he couldn't help but feel a surge of nostalgia.
The image progressed.
Joachim and Bronya conversed.
He told Bronya about the Sea of Quanta and the great terror it lurked within.
He also set in motion Bronya's journey to save Seele.
The first world slowly unfolded.
The opening scene saw Bronya awakened from a sleep in class, and now she saw Fu Hua and... Himeko.
This strange beginning aside, falling asleep in class was clearly more in line with Kiana's script than Bronya's.
As for the two people she saw upon opening her eyes, Fu Hua had nothing much to say about her, but Himeko...
"Hmm, isn't this what I looked like when I was younger?"
"I miss it so much."
Himeko rubbed her chin, feeling a wave of emotion at the rosy figure who looked so much younger than herself and radiated youth.
The others also shared their feelings about this different Himeko.
However, compared to this young Himeko, the following plot developments surprised everyone, even those who had been prepared.
Cocolia... is actually... a Valkyrie?
Watching Cocolia, the teacher at St. Freya Academy, address Bronya's response, correcting her mistake and speaking gracefully, everyone who had met her was stunned.
...This woman really seems to be quite capable.
