Chapter 63 : I Think I Might Need Some Medicine

Search and Destroy Missions; that is what their mission is. The two of them are to get into the area where the Honkai infestation is high and destroy all the Honkai Beasts and zombies. This does not include the Rescue Mission, as there won't be any normal human alive in this hellhole.

"Kyuushou, do you want to split up or go together?" Urien asked the savior beside him.

"Hmm? Let's see," Kyuushou made the gesture of thinking. "If we split, we can finish the mission faster. But… it would be boring to go back to school early and attend the class…," Kyuushou gave him her idea.

"I see, so together it is," the whitehead nodded. He, too, is too lazy to attend the class. So, it is better to spend time in this town infested with zombies and Honkai beasts.

"Un," Kyuushou nodded along with him. "Let's start from the right lane then," she added.

"Okay," Holding onto his katana tightly, Urien turned toward the destination they were going to. This time, he has both Yakeru and Enkai hanging on his waist. One being a long katana and the other one being short… Well, they are called Daisho katana, after all.

The zombies were quickly destroyed by the two. Kyuushou's Heavy Artillery played a significant role in the extermination of zombies.

"Whoa! Where did you get that?!" Urien exclaimed, seeing the gun.

"This? I created it," Kyuushou replied while changing the weapon in her hand into Auto Rifle mode.

"Man, I'm jealous," the whitehead muttered as he looked at the gun in Kyuushou's hand, which changed its mode.

"Why don't you create one yourself, Urien?" Kyuushou asked as she sniped the Honkai Beast from afar.

"Nah, I'll just use the weapons my parents created for me," the reincarnation replied while showing her the sheath of the katana.

"So… you are the polite child who always listens to your parents, eh, Urien? Nice to learn new things once in a while," the chuuni laughed as she reloaded the magazine.

Urien just shut up and didn't intend to open his mouth for a while. He knew that Kyuushou would find more things to tease him if he opened his mouth.

The two of them fought with the enemies, Urien handling the close combat while Kyuushou gave support from the back.

"Kyuushou! Come and do close combat! I am getting tired," Urien shouted to the back, earning a 'Nope!' from Kyuushou. Cursing under his breath, Urien continued hacking the zombies.

"Urien, there is a Chariot-class Honkai Beast on the left!" Kyuushou informed Urien as she looked over the distance from her rifle. "Wait… no! There is a hoard of Chariot-class Honkai Beast! There might be over 30 of them!" she added.

"Oh boy," Urien muttered. "Can you handle them without using your Herrscher powers, Kyuushou?" Urien asked.

Returning the Heavy Artillery from her hand into the light particles, she created a new weapon and stabbed it onto the ground. It is a Claymore which is as high as her shoulder. "Of course!" she grinned.

Urien nodded back at her. "Then, I'll be opening the camera now. I won't be able to fight with you, but I'll be covering you from behind," he informed the savior. "But, be careful, okay?"

"Heh, you don't need to worry, Urien," Kyuushou chuckled. "Didn't I tell you? I am the strongest," she reassured her Captain.

Urien was a little stunned. And finally, he sighed, and a slight chuckle came out of his mouth. "Yes. Yes, you did, Kyuushou."

"Then, without further ado, let's start!" Kyuushou rushed toward the hoard of Honkai Beasts.

Turning on the camera inside his breast pocket and releasing it into the sky so that people from the Schicksal HQ could watch. He then pulled out the Oath of Innocence from the back.

"We will be turning in this video as our examination assignment," Urien informed the HQ.

"Affirmative," came Amber's voice from the headset.

Kyuushou looks at the Honkai Beasts in front of her with a smile as she calmly walks toward them. She remembered that time when she had trouble with one Chariot-class Honkai Beast back in the Stigma Space. She was going to die at that time if it wasn't for the help of Bronya from that Space.

And now look at her. She is smiling calmly in the presence of over 30 Chariot-class Honkai Beasts. Many things had changed since she was just a simple girl with amnesia. She had faced the Herrscher of Thunder Mei and the weakened Herrscher of End Kiana and won. Together with her friends, they had successfully defeated a Planet-class Houkai Beast named Jyahnar.

She has matured a lot since then. Even if she acted like a goofy savior in front of her dear friend, she knew, as a savior, she cannot always be naive. That's why she learned how to fight using her Herrscher power to the fullest from Walter, Welt Yang counterpart of her world.

So right now, in front of these mobs, what can she do except smiling and massacring them? The first Honkai Beast rushed toward her to stab with its lance.

Stepping beside, Kyuushou casually dodged the incoming stab from the beast. Holding the Claymore in her hand like a bat, she smashed the beast, which tried to stab her with the flat side of her blade. "Homerun!" she shouted after making the Honkai Beast blasted off into the sky. Poor Honkai Beast didn't know what hit him.

Kyuushou looked back and asked Urien, who was covering her from behind with a gun in his hand. "What do you think of my bat-fu I learned from Kiana?"

"That looks awesome! But you are holding a Claymore instead of a bat, so shouldn't we call it a Claymore-fu?" Urien played along as he shot the head of a Honkai Beast.

"Don't mind the details!" the savior replied as she kept hacking and slashing the Honkai Beasts coming her way.

Otto and Amber, who were watching on the other side of the camera, were dumbfounded. Otto just casually agreed to Bianka's recommendation because he was interested in what the man from the Previous Era could do. But he didn't know that there would be a Valkyrie of this caliber in Saint Freya Academy.

"Truly, only my cute granddaughter can find such amusing students," Otto mused.

"Lord Otto… Was it just me, or did the two of them look like they are having a field trip?" Amber asked the man while looking at the two on the screen happily massacring the Honkai Beasts.

"Well, I think Chariot-class Honkai Beasts are some kind of playthings for them," Otto chuckled.

"With this kind of performance, they can be considered as an A-rank team. I will tell the two of them to retreat," Ambered informed the Overseer.

"No, wait. Let them continue," the man said as he took a sip of wine from the glass.

"As you wish, Lord Otto," Amber nodded and let the two on the screen continue their fun.

Back to the Urien and Kyuushou,

*Slash!*

"And that's the last of them," Kyuushou laughed, not minding the dying Honkai Beast at the back.

"Yes, that's the last of…, wait," Urien, who was going to agree with her, noticed the ground shook.

"Watch out!" he shouted, jumping to the side together with Kyuushou in his arms.

They dodged just in time before the body of Emperor Class Honkai Beast blasted through the buildings to arrive near them. Ganesha's rolling body came like a wrecking ball, almost squashing the two of them.

Of course, Kyuushou already knew that the beast was coming, but she just didn't care. She can dodge whenever she wants. But… she patted herself in the back to her past self because she was right to stand still without dodging. She is now in Urien's arms as a result. "Eh hehe," her dumb voice came out.

"Are you okay, Kyuushou?" Urien asked the girl in worry. Even though he knew that the girl in his arms was a Herrscher, she is now his subordinate, and her safety fell into his hands.

"I'm not that weak, Urien," pushing herself from Urien, Kyuushou stood up.

"I know," the whitehead nodded. He knew very well that the girl was far from weak. He doesn't know about Theresa's fighting prowess. But his intuition is screaming that Kyuushou could defeat Theresa if his niece only knew how to use the Oath of Judah. And he trusts the intuition that carried him throughout his previous life.

Without waiting for the two of them, Ganesha started to roll toward them. Looking at the ball of destruction coming his way, Urien cursed, "Shit!"

"Don't worry, Urien. I will protect you this time," Kyuushou told him as she walked in front of him, shielding him from the Honkai Beast. "This time, for sure," she added in her thought.

Tightly gripping the Claymore in her hand, she rushed toward the rolling bowling ball and, with all her strength, swung the blade in her hands.

*Clang!*

Fire sparks between their clash. Kyuushou is standing firmly at her place, not moving an inch. It is genuinely shocking to see such strength come out from that little body of hers.

"Let's get those tusks of yours out of here first, shall we?" Kyuushou grinned and slashed the two tusks of Ganesha with one fell swoop. Gripping the handle tightly, she swung the Claymore with one hand. Not sure because of the blade's sharpness or Kyuushou's strength, the tusks were cut cleanly like butter.

Poor Ganesha could do nothing but stare blankly at its tusk being slashed away by the savior. But the local chuuni would not wait for it to start attacking.

"Upsy-daisy!" Kyuushou slashed her Claymore upward, catching the stunned Ganesha off guard. The Honkai Beast flips over, showing its belly, allowing Kyuushou to kill it quickly.

"Phew! All done!" Jumping down from the body, she walks toward Urien while wiping away the nonexistent sweat away from her forehead.

"What do we do now, Urien?" She asked him as if the one-sided beatdown earlier had never happened.

"Hmm… How about walking around the city? I don't want to attend the class just yet. And of course, killing the zombies and Honkai Beast along the way," the whitehead replied.

"Alright! But, Urien… do you really want to talk about skipping class while the camera is on?" the savior asked him while pointing at the camera flying in the sky.

"Opps!" He then quickly took back the camera. "That will be the end of our assignment. Team Salvino, out!" And turned off the camera quickly.

Right when Ganesha appeared, With Otto and Amber,

"Lord Otto, the Emperor-class Honkai Beast appeared! I will tell them to retreat," Amber informed Otto, who was staring at the screen, slightly smiling when he saw Urien dodging the attack. "No, let them continue," he chuckled.

"Of course, Lord Otto," Amber bowed curtly.

As they kept watching, Otto had a sudden urge to beat the hell out of Urien when he heard the whitehead curse.

But after that, the two of them silently watch the battle… no, Kyuushou's one-sided beatdown on the poor Honkai Beast.

"Lord Otto, this…," Amber was lost for words.

"Amber, have you checked her background?" Otto asked the whitehead standing beside him.

"Yes, I did, Lord Otto," she replied.

"And the authenticity of it is?"

"All clean."

Holding his chin, Otto thought for a while. After a while, he said, "She is S-rank material."

"Do you want me to offer her the S-rank promotion exam?" Amber asked.

Thinking back to the way Kyuushou interacted with Urien, the Overseer shook his head. "With the way she acts around him, I am sure she won't accept it," he chuckled.

"What a waste, Although she is not as strong as Durandal, that girl might be on par with Rita," Otto added.

"So, the result of their A-rank promotion exam is?" Amber waited patiently for Otto to answer.

"It's a pass," Otto replied. "It will be a foul from our side if we fail them after witnessing their strength," he added.

"I understand, Lord Otto. From now on, Team Salvino will be regarded as an A-rank team which can also handle S-rank missions," Amber wrote that down on her tablet.

"Now, I wonder—" Just as Otto was about to do his usual monolog, he was stopped by Urien's words coming from the screen.

"Amber… correct me if I am wrong. Did I just hear that the two of them are going to ditch the school?" Otto asked with a distinctive edge in his voice.

Amber tilts her head in confusion. She knew that Otto doesn't usually care what the students from Saint Freya do. But she can't understand why he is concerned about this group.

"Yes, they said they are going to ditch school, Lord Otto," Amber replied to her lord's question.

"Get them back to their school right now!" Otto ordered. He doesn't understand why but he felt sudden anger when the whitehead on the screen tried to ditch the school.

"I think I might need some medicine," Otto slapped his forehead.
