Well, here Alex was.

Slowly getting raised into the sky and on board the giant flying battleship called the Hyperion.

Honestly, as much as he really wanted to take a break and relax, visting a giant battleship honestly wasn't that bad.

Alex saw no way this could go bad.

After a nice ride being lifted, Alex, being brought by Theresa and Himeko, were eventually onboard Hypetion's boarding and deporting station.

"Since this was your idea Major Himeko, you'll show Alex around the ship. I have work to attend to." Said the loli nun as she walked back to her office.

"Is she, in a bad mood?" Asked Alex.

"No. She's just a little irritated since I kept bugging her on wanting to bring you here."

"How long did you bug her for?"

"As long as I kept bugging her to give me a raise and a vacation. Which has been a year."

"Jesus. Why'd you wanna see me that bad?"

"Well, let's see. First off, your practically the most popular fugitive here and on the news. I just had to meet you in person to understand the real you. Secondly, you were the one with the idea to even attack Schicksal which was sudden but hugely beneficial for us."

"I see. Well, thanks I guess." Alex said a little flustered that this adult woman wanted to see him.

"Aww. No need to thank mama~. Your welcome sugar." Said Himeko with a wink.

'And here I thought Becky was only on the ground.' Thought Alex as he got the same vibe from Himeko as he had gotten from Becky.

Himeko walked ahead as Alex followed.

"So, what're we doing?"

"I'm gonna show you around. Our main bridge, a few of our classes, and our main prize, our Valkyrja."

Alex heard that last part and looked at her with a confused expression.

"What is it sugar?"

"It's not Valkyrja. It's Valkyrie."

"Theresa made a spelling mistake and we couldn't fix it so it's just like that. And we all just got used to saying it."

"Alright reasonable. I guess. Are all these Valkyries the same?"

"Somewhat. We rank all our Valkyrjas from B up to the highest rank, SSS."

"Why's B the lowest?"

"Theresa was too nice to use F, D, and C. So she made B the lowest."

"Yeah. Of course she did."

"Anyways, I'm gonna show some of our well known Valkyrjas. Neither is Rank B. They're all A up to SS."

"What about you and Theresa?"

"Theresa is our leader so she's obviously a SSS. I'm slightly behind as I'm a SS."

"Okay."

As they walked, they soon made it to a library.

Alex was impressed these flying ship at a library in the first place.

Alex followed Himeko as she walked up to a girl reading.

"Ms. Raiden. I've brought a guest."

The girl stopped reading and closed her book and turned around

"Hm? Who's this Ms. Himeko?" Asked the girl who had a real polite way of speaking.

"This is Alex Mustang from our partner, Black Ops HQ."

"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Alex." Said the girl as she bowed. "My name's Mei Raiden. A S Rank Valkyrja."

"Drop the Mr. Just Alex is fine. Anyways, nice to meet you too Mei." He said in response as she smiled.

"I've heard quite a bit about you from the media."

"O-Oh. Did you know?" Said Alex worried she may have bought into the media's lies.

"Is, something wrong?" Asked Mei

"The media is always giving false information about the kid Mei." Said Himeko. "It's why I bugged the principal so much. I wanted the truth."

"Oh I see. Sorry for worrying you Alex."

"I-it's fine."

After a few more words, Himeko took Alex to meet the next two Valkyries.

Walking for a bit, they soon ended up at a shooting range as a large blast was heard and Alex saw one of the many targets completely demolished.

He traced the target's trajectory back to its origin point to see it had come from a fucking cannon which was connected to

She wasn't alone as another girl was next to her watching excitedly

"You two. May I have a second?"

The two girls saw Himeko and walked up to her as the giant cannon dispered.

Both girls looked at Alex for a while before the twin tailed one suddenly hugged Alex which immediately was caught off guard by.

"U-Um."

"Bronya Zaychik. An A Rank Valkyrja Nice to meet you Alex Mustang."

"H-How'd you?"

"Bronya is half android Alex. Once she meets someone, she immediately learns their name, and their entire background in just a few seconds."

"D-Damn. That's impressive."

"The Bronya thanks Subject Alex." Said the android as she turns to her friend. "Seele. Introduce yourself to Subject Alex."

"N-Nice to meet you Alex. I'm Seele Vollerei. Also an A Rank Valkyrja."

'All this Valkyrja stuff makes my head hurt.' Thought Alex as he spoke. "Nice to meet you both."

All three bowed and exchanged a decent conversation which went well. Especially since both Bronya and Seele were only 2 years older than Alex.

Afterwards, they bid farewell as Himeko brought Alex to a training area as she took Alex to a specific area where sounds of fists and kicks hitting a punching bag.

Himeko moved out of Alex's way to show who was attacking the punching bag

Alex saw just how blistering fast her kicks and punches were as the punching bag was practically screaming for mercy.

And this was JUST with her bare fists and legs.

Soon the girl stopped murdering the punching bag once she caught a glimpse of Himeko.

"Ah Major Himeko. This is a pleasant suprise." Said the girl as she walked up to her.

She then turned to face Alex and bowed.

"And you must me Alex Mustang. Nice to meet you. I'm Fu Hua. The only S Rank Valkyrja Student."

"Only S Rank student? But, aren't you and Theresa, also S Ranks?"

"I'm a teacher and Theresa is the principal. So Fu Hua is the only student that's an S Rank. Though Mei is about to be an S Rank soon. Another thing to note is that all our other Valkyrjas have a weapon of some sort. Guns, swords, cannons, yet Fu Hua is the only S Rank students. And all she ever uses is her fists and legs."

Alex thought that VERY impressive.

"Oh it's nothing serious." Said Fu Hua being humble. "It's just my effort and dedication into being the best Valkyrja I can be."

'HOW MANY TIMES ARE THEY GONNA SAY VALKYRJA!? MY GOD MY HEAD HURTS JUST HEARING IT!'

Alex and Himeko left the area after chatting with Fu Hua as they walked down a hallway.

"Well, I think that's all our girls. What'd you think about them sugar? Any of them your type~? Or..." Himeko stood in front of Alex and purposely leaned forward to expose her chest and placed her arms under them to lift them closer to his face. "Would you prefer a mature, older woman like me~? I wouldn't mind hunkering down with a young man like you~."

Like the absolute CHAD he is, he grabbed Himeko's chest and pushed her away.

"Sorry but no. I'm taken."

"Aww~. I like it when they play hard to get~." Said Himeko with another wink and seductive chuckle.

Alex wasn't having any of it as he got SMACKED in the back of the head by a literal gun which knocked him out cold.

Himeko saw and sighed as she looked up and saw the culprit.

"You missed Kiana. You've got nice aim, sugarplum."
