Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

“Buzz——————!!”

A sound of tuning noise came from several loudspeakers installed in the central square of St. Freya Academy, and then someone's sound test came: "Hello? Hey! Ahem!"

That highly recognizable voice, anyone could tell immediately that it belonged to the principal Theresa.

The central square in the center of the academy is currently surrounded by a cordon, and there are also densely packed students standing outside the cordon. There was a row of examiner seats set up on the edge of the central square. Theresa sat in the center of that row of seats, adjusting the microphone with Himeko sitting on her right. In addition, the captain and Rita sat on the other side of Theresa as inspection guests, waiting for Theresa to speak.

"The exam is about to begin. Candidates, please be prepared. Now, I would like to ask the principal, Ms. Theresa, to read out the exam rules." After saying that, Jizi turned the microphone to Theresa next to her, and Theresa immediately stood up from her seat. stand up.

"Haha~" Rita watched Theresa stand up, squinted her eyes and laughed softly, but Theresa suddenly felt a cold air hit her body, and couldn't help turning her head to look at the captain and Rita next to her. After taking a quick look, he began to read out the exam rules.

"Rita, you look happy?"

"Haha, I just saw Theresa standing at almost the same height as sitting on a chair, and I thought she was cute for some reason, Captain."

"..." The captain glanced at Theresa next to him. She didn't seem to hear her, but was reading the exam rules carefully. Rather, it's a good thing she didn't hear me... If she heard me, something terrible would happen.

"This exam will be divided into two major modules: the "Practical Exam" to test the Valkyrie's comprehensive combat ability, and the "Theoretical Exam" to check the Valkyrie's ability to master theoretical knowledge, among which..."

Theresa, who was standing in the center of the examiner's seat, was still reading the test rules. Of course, the above-mentioned tests would not be completed in one day. The first day was mainly a "practical test" to examine the candidates' combat ability. The second day It tests theoretical knowledge, which is usually called a written test.

Among them, the "practical examination" is divided into two links: the "simulated battle" link where candidates are divided into two groups, and the "combat against Honkaimon" link where the Valkyrie's ability to fight Honkai Impact is tested through virtual images.

After Theresa finished reading the exam rules and everything was ready, the exam was ready to begin. Candidates divided into groups of two began to enter the venue one after another, and each group of candidates was also assigned a teacher as a scoring examiner.

The captain tilted his head and looked at the candidates entering the venue one by one. After a while, he saw a white-haired girl waving to him not far away: "Hey~ Captain~"

"Come on, Kiana." The captain responded.

It seemed that she was in good condition today as usual. Seeing the innocent and contagious smile on Kiana's face, the captain gradually felt relieved.

"Is that Miss Kiana? She is such an energetic person." Rita said with a smile. Although her eyes were concealed, the captain could still vaguely feel that her eyes were locked most of the time. In the case of Kiana, this forced the captain to reconsider the true meaning of Tianming Headquarters sending her to inspect.

"Yes, that vitality is also a valuable advantage for Kiana."

The captain was thinking while responding to Rita's words, and Kiana's voice came to his ears again: "Captain! I'm going with Mei~"

"Okay Kiana, the exam is about to start. Don't disturb the captain. Activate the Valkyrie Armor." Mei, who had long since put on the special armor for hand-to-hand combat: "Pulse Armor·Crimson", had already pulled out the training equipment behind her. Tai Dao started debugging. Kiana scratched her head, looked at the tachi in Mei Yi's hand, and moved closer to Mei Yi: "Mei Yi, can you... be merciful in a moment?"

"no!"

Was instantly rejected...

"Kiana, the examiner is watching over here."

"Woo!" Realizing that the examiner on the side who was already a little impatient was looking at her with sharp eyes, Kiana quietly walked back to the place and started the training mode of her armor.

"Really, Kiana, if you work hard, I will make delicious food for you when you get back."

"Really??" Kiana's eyes suddenly let out two rays of light, showing a completely different aura than before.

"Ahem, please confirm again whether the training mode is activated. After confirmation, be prepared and start the exam immediately."

The so-called training mode is a low-output mode of the Valkyrie Armor designed for daily training. In the low-output mode, any physical attack caused by the armor to the opponent can be offset by the armor itself, thereby protecting the user, even if the armor is Places that cannot be covered are also protected by special Honkai ability fields.

For the exam, each candidate is equipped with an additional training weapon. After connecting the armor and the weapon, each effective attack caused will be counted, which can be used to determine who has higher combat skills. Of course, the weapon Types can be freely selected. To determine the outcome, the examiner will not just look at who has the higher count. The examiner will also carefully observe the candidates' battle, give their own scores, and finally determine the outcome based on the count.

"Kiana, are you ready? I'm going to attack!"

"Come on, Mei! I'm very motivated!"

The two of them were waiting a few meters apart. At the same time, multiple candidates were preparing on their own field. Following the order from Chief Examiner Theresa, this year's Valkyrie Level Examination began.
