A/N: "When I was writing up this chapter, I thought of something and added a slight few changes to the Prologue and Chapter 9. The 1st one is with Ryu's encounter with Sirin and the second is when Theresa was looking at Ryu's profile and when she 'met' him"
________________________

One Month has passed...

To become an A-Rank Knight and A-Rank Valkyries respectively, Ryu and his friends had enrolled in St. Freya High School and started living at Major Himeko's place. The boy and four girls got used to strenuous schoolwork and training. Of course, there are some edges that still needed to be ironed out...

Kiana: "KYYYYAAAAHHH!!!!!"

Himeko: "Ow~! That hurts~!"

The sleeping black-haired young man, Ryu, took a deep breath as he groaned and slowly woke up from the abrupt noise. He rubbed his eyes and sat up, an annoyed expression on his face.

Ryu: "Ugh... For fuck sakes..."

Bronya: "Kiana Idiotka is too loud..."

Ryu: "Yeah... She really is-Ha!?" He quickly turned his said, spotting the silver-haired petite girl who was wearing a white night gown. She rubbed her gray eyes while hugging her Homu doll. "Bronya!?"

Bronya: "Da. Good Morning, Ryu."

Ryu: "Good morning? Why are you in my room again, Bronya??" He questioned as the small girl tilted her head as she onto the floor, slipping on her yellow slippers.

Bronya: "We used to sleep in the same room all the time."

Ryu: "But that doesn't make it okay now! We're older now!"

Bronya: "The Bronya does not understand." She answered as Ryu just sighed in defeat, watching as the female dragged a pillow with her and walked out of the room to go lecture Kiana about being too loud again.

This is one such event that would always happen. Every morning, Ryu would find Bronya sleeping in his bed, instead of the room that she and Ame shared. The first time this happened, Kiana accused Ryu of seducing Bronya and being a pervert, to which Ryu was just too baffled to even retaliate.

Another event that would happen was that Himeko had a bad habit of sleeping in Kiana's bed after getting wasted at a Dive Bar.

Kiana: "Stop invading my bed every time you're drunk!!" She yelled at the redhead with a hungover but almost instantly was silenced by a pillow to the face, by Bronya.

Bronya: "Shut up, Kiana."

Kiana: "HEY! I'm the victim here! And stop hitting my head with that pillow! It'll make me stupid!" She yelled but another pillow smacked her right in the face as Ame, wearing a light purple night gown was standing in the room behind Bronya, her golden eyes displaying an aloof nature.

Ame: "It'll make you stupid? There's no way you could possibly get any more stupid that you already are. But then again, you keep exceeding my expectations."

Bronya: "Da. Subject Ame is correct."

Kiana: "Gah! WHY YOU BRATS!!!" Ryu watched this altercation from the hallways. He sighed and facepalmed, feeling his motivation to even continue throughout the day being drained away before a soothing and elegant voice caused it to instantly shoot back up to the maximum.

Mei: "Good Morning Ryu." Finally, someone normal! He excitedly looked at the dark-haired female who wore a gentle smile. Wearing a pink apron over a white shirt and some dark shorts, she approached the raven-haired male.

Ryu: "Mei! Finally, my savior!" He cried as he latched onto her and hugged her, which caused Mei to laugh lightly and pat his back gently.

Mei: "You're being so dramatic, Ryu. I'm no savior." She said with a faint blush on her cheeks, but a happy giggle to see him acting so lively. As they pulled away from each other, the turned to the chaos ensuing in Kiana's room. "Everyone! Breakfast is ready~!"

The moment her voice was heard, all arguing stopped and everyone's eyes landed on Mei, with extremely excited expressions; even Bronya who was normally monotonous was excited.

Girls: "Okay!"

Ryu: "Heh. Mei the Perfect Wife material strikes again." That title instantly caused the purple-eyed ravenette to blush and look at him before she lightly punched his shoulder.

Mei: "R-Ryu! Stop embarrassing me!" She squeaked as the male only laughed heartedly.

(A/N: "I love how Hoyoverse literally admitted that Mei is the Perfect Waifu in the above pic lol. But they aren't wrong.")

Everyone gathered around the dinning table where Mei had the perfectly cooked breakfast laid out. Mei ate happily as she watched her little sister and her friends all enjoy her food thoroughly.

Ame: "Amazing cooking as always, Onee-Chan." She complimented as her elder sister smiled happily at her.

Mei: "Thank you, Ame!"

Ryu: "You sure you're not perfect Wife material, Mei?" The instant she heard those words, her face became redder than Himeko's hair.

Mei: "Stooop Ryu!" She squealed, but Bronya chimed in.

Bronya: "The Bronya agrees with Ryu. Mei would make the perfect wife."

Kiana: "Right!? She totally would!"

Mei: "Geh!? Stop exaggerating guys!"

Ame watched them, smiling a bit as she was happy that her sister was having fun with their friends. However, her golden eyes soon landed on Himeko, who seemed to be tasting the Miso Soup that Mei had cooked.

Himeko: "Miso Soup? Haven't had this for a while..." She scooped up a spoon full before sipping on it. The moment it touched her taste buds however, her eyes lit up as she unleased a moan of absolute delight. "OH. MY. GOODNESS!! This taste just like mom's cooking! Oh dear, I think I'll need more of this...! This is Grrrrreattt!"

Ame stayed silent, watching her but took notice of a particular area bouncing with a very noticeable noise. She looked down at her own chest, which paled in comparison to the redhead and pouted disappointedly as she poked it.

Ame: "Stupid breasts..."

>>St. Freya Arc Finale<<

>Chapter 10: Just a Normal Day at St. Freya + Exams<

Breakfast was over and the group of teenagers had gotten ready for they day of class, wearing their respective uniforms that also doubled at Battlesuits. However, due to the school uniforms being classified as casual wear, their armor is heavily light. The reason as to why Principal Theresa allowed their School Uniforms to be customizable to the students' liking is to boost student morale. The same explanation was applied to why their Battlesuits are also customizable.

Kiana's was named "Valkyrie Ranger". When wearing the Ranger uniform, Kiana would adopt a ranged fighting style instead of her melee-heavy gun kata. That large ammo belt may look rather atrocious, but it allows Kiana to stay in the battle for longer periods of time. She also prefers it this way. Kiana also wanted to adopt her father's style and tried to customize her suit as a long coat. But the coat made her battlesuit too heavy. She later changed it to a light-weight cape.

(Kiana Kaslana-Valkyrie Ranger)

For Mei, her school battlesuit was named, "Valkyrie Bladestrike". This battlesuit appears more like a young girl's dress. Indeed, Bladestrike makes Mei look extremely approachable as well. The sleeves are woven using special fibers and could defeat attacks from sharp objects. As a katana-wielder who gets into the thick of combat, this feature is considered an absolute necessity. Under Kiana's insistence, Mei and Kiana were given matching blouses. But the designer reduced the length of her cape and made it look more like a shawl instead. Kiana, of course, was not very pleased.

(Raiden Mei-Valkyrie Bladestrike)

For Bronya, her school battlesuit was named, "Valkyrie Chariot". Given Bronya's unique attributes, her uniform has special mechanical features that differ from Kiana and Mei's designs. Having been affected by the X-10 Project, Bronya could no longer use her legs and can only walk with the help of prosthetics. After enrolling in St. Freya, Schicksal modified Bronya's prosthetics to better fit them to her Valkyrie battlesuit. Bronya enjoys levitating in the air, but the mods allow her to walk normally. People said that Bronya wrote: "No special requests" for the Battlesuit Customization Request Form, so Principal Theresa took the liberty of adding special requests (based on her own preferences) for Bronya. Theresa welcomes the girl from the Anti-Entropy and hopes she'll have fulfilling academic career at St. Freya. Truth to be known, Theresa's design seemed perfect for Bronya. After all, the girl prodigy and the principal share similar stature.

(Bronya Zaychik-Valkyrie Chariot)

For Ame, her school battlesuit was named, "Valkyrie Architect". Since Ame didn't have much knowledge on clothing designs, she asked her elder sister, Mei to assist her in designing her school uniform. Mei had asked the designer to give Ame's outfit a familiar design to the one she designed for herself (much to the distaste of Kiana) but added some extra protection against the direct sun for Ame's skin, which was slightly more sensitive that it should be, while not limiting her mobility. This resulted in her battlesuit coming with an overcoat and thigh-highs that were created out of the same fibers that Mei's sleeves were made of. Considering that Ame normally liked to switch between melee and ranged combat, this feature was a must for her. Incorporated into her boots were the same levitation devices used for Bronya's legs, which allowed for Ame to make short, swift dashes and for enhancing her jumping capabilities. Finally, on both of her arms were mechanical gauntlets that would help suppress her Honkai Energy levels.

(Raiden Ame-Valkyrie Architect)

Finally, it was time for the only Knight of St. Freya. Ryu's school battlesuit was given the name, "Knight Meister". Bronya had assisted him with creating the design for this battlesuit. It was meant to compliment Ryu's preferred close ranged combat style as it allowed for maximum mobility. It also uses the same fibers from Mei and Ame's suits on his sleeves. As for the armored bits, Bronya was the one that came up with the idea, mainly because they matched the mechanical armor she had on her outfit, a cute reason. The ones on his left arm however had more of a purpose as they helped contain the Honkai Energy on his left arm from him obtaining Nakith and could even transform into a metal claw that could harness that energy for enhanced strikes. One final touch was that Mei had offered to cut his hair for him, which had grown quite long over the years, and Bronya agreed with her. So, Ryu allowed for the elder Raiden to cut his hair for him.

(Aikawa Ryu-Knight Meister)

The five teenagers seemed to get along quite fine with each other, mainly thanks to Mei's cooking helping out. Now they were ready, they said their goodbyes to Himeko as this day was the day of their first exams.

Kiana: "We're off to class!"

Himeko: "This will be your first exam after enrolling. Don't let me down." She said, a beer can in her hand. Kiana only smirked in confidence.

Kiana: "Just wait for good news!"

Mei: "Is she drinking beer?"

Ryu: "Eh, you know her. Anyways, we've got an exam to knock out of the park, girls." He said as the four nodded at him, each bearing their own variants of confident expressions. With that, they were off with the redhead watching them with smiles. Then the same assistant that was on the Hyperion with her appeared next to her, pushing her glasses up.

Assistant: "Major Himeko, we'll need you to report to duty."

Himeko: AMAGAD! I forgot about work!"

>>Later<<

St. Freya High...

A School established for the sole purpose of training Valkyries to fight the Honkai.

(St. Freya High School)

After making their way through the grand halls of the castle-like academy, the five teenagers had arrived at their class where the written portions of the Valkyrie Exams would take place. In an instant, they were all greeted by the friends that they had managed to make.

Female Student 1: "Never expected the next exam to be just around the corner, I'm so scared!"

Female Student 2: "Kiana, aren't you worried at all? This must be really touch for transfer students." She asked the white-haired female, who only smirked in full confidence.

Kiana: "Hah! I'm a born Genius! These exams are hardly a challenge for my innate abilities!" She boasted. However, gentle footsteps from behind the twin-braided Valkyrie caught everyone's attention as they turned to the culprit; a professional looking young lady with red framed glasses, bluish-silver hair and deep blue eyes approached them.

???: "Confidence doth confer strength, Kiana. But the Valkyrie Trials are not to be dismissed lightly. The ancient saying goes: "Pride goeth before a fall"." Immediately, a squeal was the response from the majority of the Valkyries from the classroom as they gazed upon this beauty.

Student 1: "It's Fu Hua-Senpai!"

Student 2: "She's always so elegant and dashing!"

This beautiful young lady was named, Fu Hua, an A-Rank Valkyrie of St. Freya and the class monitor of the class that Kiana and company were assigned to. She is also a roommate as she lives in Himeko's home with them. Due to her elegance, amazing performance and personality, Fu Hua has become an idol for many of the Valkyries of St. Freya. The school battlesuit she wore was named, "Valkyrie Accipiter". For her uniform, Fu Hua added design features based on her place of birth: China. The lightweight design allows Fu Hua to pull off martial arts attack at any given moment. Fu Hua is a specialized fist fighter. The uniform therefore includes customizations in the wrist and sleeve areas so that she can quickly equip and take off various combat gauntlets. Given her stiff nature and unusual looking uniform, many newly enrolled Valkyries often mistook Fu Hua as an instructor of St. Freya. Fu Hua herself would not refuse any Valkyrie asking for help and would provide instruction according to her usual strict and serious attitude. This, however, makes her appear even more aloof.

(Fu Hua-Valkyrie Accipiter)

Kiana however was one of the very few that did not think so. In fact, she scowled as she was completely turned off by the female's presence.

Kiana: *grumbles* "What? Who the hell does she think she is, anyways?"

Fu Hua: "Gifted you may be, rushing headlong into a challenge will be ill-advised. For impatience is the bane of success."

Kiana's thoughts: "Is she speaking English?" She shook her head and gave another confident and cockier grin to the class monitor as she had her hands on her hips. *out loud* "Hmph. I know all that!"

Fu Hua: "Apologies then, I may have spoken out of turn." She apologized as she turned around to make herself scares. However, before she left, she noticed that someone was missing from the group. She turned her head and glanced at them. "By the way, where is Ryu?"

Mei: "Umm..."

The four girls shifted their gazes towards their right. Fu Hua carefully followed their eyes before she spotted the one in question, Ryu... However, he was backed into a corner with a look of desperation on his face as he was surrounded by a couple of the Valkyries who all seemed to be... gushing, or rather...

Student 1: "Ryu-Kun! Will you be busy after school today?"

Student 2: "Ryu-Kun! Can we have lunch together?"

Student 3: "Can we do some last-minute studying together, Ryu-Kun?"

Ryu: "Ah... Umm..."

He sweat dropped as he failed to even answer the girls' questions properly. Watching from a distance, Fu Hua, Mei and Ame all had a drop of sweat running down their foreheads while Kiana just crossed her arms with an eyeroll.

Kiana: "Dumb pervert..." Mei then noticed Bronya and... she didn't look very happy. In fact, she looked genuinely angry.

Bronya: "Project Bunny 19c, prepare to exterminate all competition." She said, with her robotic companion appearing behind her. Mei and Ame quickly held her back and attempted to calm down the petite girl.

Mei: "B-Bronya, calm down!"

Ame: "Oh no..." She sighed, face palming a bit politely as Fu Hua made her way towards the girls that had surrounded the raven-haired male. She then cleared her throat, catching their attention.

Fu Hua: "Please, girls. Don't put so much pressure on him. Being the only male at St. Freya to take part in the Valkyrie Trials, he must work twice as hard. We don't want him to fail because of pressure, do we?"

The three girls yelped and looked at Ryu, who had an awkward expression before they all quickly agreed. They nodded and slightly bowed their heads as they apologized to Ryu, who shook his head and told them that they were fine. Now with the girls gone, Ryu sighed in relief before he looked at Fu Hua.

Ryu: "Thanks, Fu Hua."

Fu Hua: "You're welcome. I wish you the best of luck in the Valkyrie Trials, Ryu." She said, a small smile on her face as she nodded towards him, Ryu returned the smile and gave her a thumbs up, essentially giving her the same wishes. And with that, Fu Hua returned to her desk.

Now as for why what happened, when Ryu originally first came to St. Freya, he wasn't very well liked by most of the girls, mainly because he was the only guy there. However, that all changed once Fu Hua came into the picture, who was the first girl at St. Freya that wasn't Theresa, Himeko or the four girls he transferred here with to not instantly hate on him. She greeted him with a friendly smile but the moment she heard what his first name was, Fu Hua became conflicted... It wasn't his fault or anything, but the name was extremely familiar to her. Ryu too felt that sense of familiarity when talking to Fu Hua, as if he knew her already.

But aside from that, Fu Hua asked Ryu for a friendly spar, since she wanted to see what he was capable off. Ryu had accepted the word quickly spread around the school; the majority thought that Ryu was the one who challenged the A-Rank Valkyrie. When the battle had commenced, everyone was surprised to see that Ryu was able to keep up with Fu Hua quite comfortably. Fu Hua herself was both pleased and surprised by this but what took her for a loop was the fact that it felt as if she already fought against him before.

Well, the battle ended in a tie and after that, the girls at St. Freya were suddenly beginning to accept Ryu there and were trying to get closer to him, much to Bronya's annoyance.

Ryu: *sigh* "I don't understand women at all..." He groaned as he dragged himself over to the four girls, but before he could fully make it over there, Bronya had already sped over to him and clutched onto his arm.

Bronya: "Mine."

Ryu: "B-Bronya...!? Ahh... Can't I catch a break already!?" He groaned while Kiana, Mei and Ame all held sweat drops on their heads.

>>Later<<

Finally, after the countless written tests, it was time for the Valkyrie Trials. With the simulation activating and creating large Gorilla-like Honkai-Beast, the team of five consisting of Ryu, Kiana, Mei, Ame and Bronya got to work as this would be the final trial before they await the results.

Ryu: "Alright, girls. Just like we discussed before. Lets-" He however was cut off by Kiana, who was revving her chainsaw with a cocky grin on her face.

Kiana: "Who cares? Just sit back and watch as this star fighter wins this for us!" She yelled as she dashed towards the Honkai Beast, with Mei trying to stop her.

Mei: "Kiana, wait!"

Ryu: "This damned block head..." He muttered while gritting his teeth.

They watched as Kiana approached the Honkai Beast quickly, her powerful legs allowing her to propel herself forwards at admittedly impressive speeds. The white-haired girl began sliding on her feet as revved up her weapon.

Kiana: "Neko Strike!!!" She announced proudly, horizontally swinging her weapon, aiming for one of the beast's massive arms. However, she gasped in surprised as it lifted that arm, causing for her to miss but to pour salt into the wound, it decked her right in the face, sending her flying back with a squeal. "Kyah!? Hey that's cheating you pervert!!"

She complained at the Honkai Beast as she flew back. Before she hit the ground however, she landed on the back of a particular white Honkai Dragon; Nakith. The white dragon hovered to the ground, dropping the Kaslana off with a light thud as the others looked at her.

Bronya: "Kiana Idiotka."

Ame: "Nice going, 'Star Fighter'."

Kiana: "Hmph! That was just a warmup! You've seen nothing yet!" She yelled as she quickly got back up and made a b-line towards the Honkai Beast, however, she was not expecting for the Beast to charge at her at an impressive speed and raise its arm to strike her. Ryu had enough of the Kaslana's anticks and gripped his weapon.

Ryu: "That's it. Bronya!"

Bronya: "Roger. 'PROJECT BUNNY DEFENSE'."

She announced as both her and her robotic companion blitzed forwards and stood before Kiana, before Project Bunny rose it's left arm, putting up its shield and blocking the stroke from the Honkai Beast. Kiana gasped in surprise from seeing the silver-haired shorty defend her from the attack.

Ryu: "Ame! Mei! Tag team it's back legs!"

Mei & Ame: "Roger!"

The two sisters made a mad dash towards the unsuspecting Honkai Beast with Mei using the power of her legs while Ame used the devices in her boots to dash quickly without touching the ground. The silver-haired Raiden opened her left hand as blue digital energy formed in her palm, straightening out into a thin blade that she held in a reverse grip while Mei tightly gripped the Katana by her side. With both sisters letting their voices be heard, they both sped past the Honkai Beast, slashing it's hind legs and causing it to roar in pain and stumble forwards. However, Nakith had rammed right into its front, causing the beast to violently fall backwards and flat onto its back. Kiana watched with wide eyes until Ryu leaped past her.

Ryu: "Don't just stand there Idiotka and move!"

Kiana: "Geh!? I knew that already! Neko Jump!!"

With Ryu and Kiana both in the air above the immobilized Honkai Beast, they prepared a final strike. Kiana revved her Chainsaw like a mad woman while Ryu's blade harnessed the Honkai Energy in him and created a large energy blade. With the two yelling, they landed their final strike, it being shaped like an "X". The Honkai Beast fell and the Valkyrie Trial was over.

Sighs of relief came from Mei and Ryu while Kiana was the first to celebrate.

Kiana: "Haha! That was easy!"

Ryu: "Easy? You nearly fucked everything up you damned block head!" He scolded almost immediately. Kiana however just scoffed and waved him off smugly.

Kiana: "Relax, Lizard Boy~" She stuck her tongue out at him playfully and winked. "We passed no doubt! In 2 days, you'll see that I'm right!" Ryu was seriously annoyed with the Kaslana but thankfully for him, Mei, Bronya and Ame managed to calm him down before he exploded.

Mei: "Ahaha... Let's just wait for the results, Ryu."

Ryu: *deep breath* "Alright..."

Bronya: "The Bronya determines that we are doomed..."

Ryu: "I know. We definitely are, Bunny..."

2 Days Later...

The Test results had finally arrived the first thing Ryu and company did was go check for their scores in the test. A lot of the Valkyries that were already there were both surprised and amazed to see that the transfer students managed to get the top 5 spots. Ame ranked at 5th, followed by Bronya who was in 4th. In 3rd was Ryu himself and finally, Mei ranked 2nd. However, there was an extra detail that displayed the fact that Ryu and Mei's grades were extremely close. Mei only managed to inch out her victory over the raven-haired male due to a 1-point difference. Everyone there was most surprised to see this factor.

Ryu: "Damn, by one point? Ohohoho, you're one now Mei!" He said, playfully bumping the raven-haired girl. She yelped and looked at him before she laughed lightly and scratched the back of her head.

Mei: "Oh my.. Heh, well I suppose I don't have a choice but to fight back then!" She said, bumping him back as the male laughed. Bronya looked between the two, as if she was taking mental notes before she pulled on Ryu's sleeve.

Ryu: "Hmm? What's up, Bunny?" He asked, looking back at the girl with the Homu in her hand and the Homu backpack. Then, she pointed at him.

Bronya: "The Bronya shall not allow Ryu to remain above her in academic performances. Prepared to be humbled." She spoke. Ryu and Mei were both surprised while Ame, who was behind the silver-haired petite girl, laughed behind her hand. Did she just declare war against Ryu? Well, who was he to decline her challenge.

Ryu: "Oh yeah? Bring it on, Iron Bunny." He said, smirking as he pointed back at her. Bronya blinked, but then smiled with a bit of confidence.

Mei: "I never knew you could be so competitive, Bronya."

Ame: "Of course she can be. Have you've seen her play, video games??" She looked at her sister. All this banter was quickly interrupted however as Kiana pushed past them and looked at the results with a smirk.

Kiana: "Hah! Sorry, guys. The 1st place is mine!" She said but her eyes soon widened with shock as she saw the name that had occupied the 1st place spot... 'Fu Hua'. "What!? Her? The girl who doesn't speak English? Where is my name??"

Ryu: "Uhm, Tuna?" She quickly snapped her head to him, only to see him and the others standing a bit further away. He in particular was pointing to where he had found her name. However, the faces of him, Mei, Bronya and Ame showed... indifferent expressions. Kiana didn't pay attention to that and quickly and happily skipped over to them.

Kiana: "Thanks, Ryu! My score must me way off the charts! Sorry to leave you Mei-Senpai in Rank 3!"

Mei and Ryu only sweat dropped as they were debating on whether to tell her or not. Bronya and Ame just blankly staired at the Kaslana as her eyes quickly widened and her excited expression turned to one of horror. Right there written in bold letters was...

FAILED:
KIANA KASLANA

Kiana: "WHAT!? How is this possible!?" She squeaked, going crazy as she began to rip it to shreds while Mei tried to stop her. Admis the chaos, a male teacher walked up to them.

Teacher: "You failed all the written sections. There's no way we could let you pass. Look, you got Zero for History." He said as he held up the results for her to see. Kiana immediately panicked.

Kiana: "KYAA! I can't let Mei-Senpai see this! Give it to me!!" She tried to snatch it out of his hand but he simply held it out of her reach. Mei and Ryu just held sweat drop son their foreheads.

Mei: *whispering* "I already did..."

Ryu: *whispering* "We all did..."

Bronya and Ame: *whispering* "Da/Yep." The white-haired Kaslana gave up and collapsed onto the ground as she just began to cry. Ryu sighed and crouched next to her.

Ryu: "You good, Tuna?"

Kiana: "Mei-Senpai will laugh at me for this Ryu..." She wept.

Ryu: "Ah, I really don't think Mei's the type of girl to do-" he cut off by the teacher.

Teacher: Your aggregate score for Biology, History, Geography, Physics and Chemistry was 21. You're literally Rank 1 backwards." Kiana instantly turned to face Ryu, her face full of tears.

Kiana: "Mei-Senpai is going to laugh at me, Ryu!!!" She wailed and latched onto him tightly as she sobbed into his jacket. He sighed and patted her on her head, in an attempt to comfort her.

Ryu: "There, there, Tuna."

Kiana: *sobbing into his chest* "Shut up, Baka!"

Ryu: "...Right."

>>Later<<

After class and the catastrophe that was Kiana's failure and with her having to speak to Theresa about it, the gang returned to Himeko's home, where Mei had begun to prepare dinner for everyone as Ryu explained the situation to the red-haired instructor, despite Kiana's protests. Now, they were seated around the dining table, eating away as they discussed what to do next.

Himeko: "Remedial exam?"

Mei: "Yeah. One week from now."

Himeko: "I've seen stupid before, but you've set a new low for me." She said as she looked directly at Kiana, with a bowl of rice in her hands. "You're living proof that cup size is directly correlated to brain space." She said, to which Kiana looked mortified.

Kiana: "Geh!?"

Ryu: "Well what are we gonna do now, teach? The remedial exam is just a week away and if Tuna over here doesn't pass, she won't be able to get the official title of a Valkyrie until the next exams." He said, before he glanced at Kiana and deadpanned to see that she was peeking into her blouse, checking her actual breast size out of worry. "You're not actually checking the size of your tits, right, Kiana...?"

Kiana: "S-Shut up, Ryu! You wouldn't understand!" She squealed as she kept checking.

Ryu only sighed as Bronya patted his arm while Ame was just mumbling and touching her own... less developed chest. Then Himeko piped up.

Himeko: "Can't let that happen! We must commence special training!" She said as she then quieted her tone to more of a mumble. "And I need someone to make more Miso Soup!"

Ryu and Mei: "Special Training?"

Bronya: "Critical exception to Major Himeko's Statement found..." She said, staring directly at Mei. The elder Raiden had caught on before she yelped and covered her larger chest with an embarrassed blush, while Ryu deadpanned but did agree.

Ryu: "Mei did outsmart me in the test and she has... well.. a nice rack. So yeah... Completely contradicts Himeko's statement..."

Bronya: "Da." Mei barely could take it as her face was bright red before, she finally squealed out.

Mei: "Stop talking about my chest you guys! Chest size has nothing to do with how smart you are!!!"
