Dormitory After parting ways with Otto, Fu Hua truly did go collect the students’ homework and finish organizing several reports and documents.
Only then did she go find Theresa and the others.
At that moment, Theresa was at St.
Freya Academy’s Equipment Research Department.
They had just attempted to dismantle Mjolnir there, only to discover that the Pistol had somehow been cast as a single integrated piece, leaving them with no way to take it apart.
Thus, they could only conduct some tests on the Pistol’s performance, and the results were somewhat unexpected.
Fu Hua arrived at the Equipment Research Department just as the report was completed.
Theresa handed Fu Hua a report and said, “Fu Hua, you came at just the right time.
The report was just completed.
Take a look.” Fu Hua took the report and carefully examined the performance parameters listed on it.
Theresa explained from the side, “The material used to make Mjolnir is unknown, and it can be loaded with ordinary .45-caliber bullets.
“When this Pistol is fired, it uses Honkai Energy to enhance the bullets and somehow reduces the recoil as well.
“That’s why Young Kiana was able to use this weapon.” Theresa paused at this point.
Fu Hua had also finished reading the entire report, and a problem became apparent.
The technology contained within such a Pistol was indeed extremely advanced to ordinary people.
It could even be called impossible technology.
However, when it came to the Honkai, and to Schicksal, which was already capable of using Honkai Energy to create all kinds of weapons and equipment, it still seemed to fall far short.
Theresa knew that Schicksal had used Soulium to develop the Godsbane series of weapons.
Whether by coincidence or not, one of them was also a Pistol-type weapon named Mjolnir.
Both Pistols were called Mjolnir, and their effects weren’t all that different either.
However, compared to Godsbane’s Mjolnir, the Mjolnir obtained from the Stigmata Theater lacked the ability to unleash Honkai Energy particles and activate powerful energy blocks to attack large Honkai Beasts.
Viewed this way, the Stigmata Theater’s Mjolnir didn’t seem worthy of its previous description as a weapon formed by extracting and condensing a concept from Thor, the god of thunder in Norse mythology.
If the reward was merely a Mjolnir that couldn’t even compare to a weapon developed by Schicksal, then perhaps the Stigmata Theater wasn’t as important as they had imagined.
At that moment, Fu Hua seemed to seize an opportunity and said, “Academy Principal, I wonder if the problem might not lie with Mjolnir or the Wish System.” Theresa, Kiana, and Raiden Mei all looked toward Fu Hua.
Fu Hua continued, “I remember that Kiana’s performance in the Stigmata Theater only received a score of sixty-two, correct?” Hearing this, Kiana suddenly felt that something seemed a little wrong.
According to what the Class Monitor was saying, if the problem wasn’t with the Wish System or with Thor’s hammer, then didn’t that mean the problem was with her, Kiana?
Kiana immediately stepped forward and said, “Class Monitor, I think my performance was already good enough, wasn’t it?
Sixty-two is still a passing score, right?” As soon as she finished speaking, everyone around her silently stared at her.
Bronya couldn’t help speaking up in Kiana’s defense.
“Class Monitor, Bronya believes Kiana’s performance was already acceptable.
“In more than ninety percent of her academic exams at the academy, she fails.” “Thanks, Shortie.” It was the first time Kiana had heard Bronya speak up for her, so she thanked her.
Theresa was nearly speechless.
She said, “Kiana, are you actually proud of that?
“Fu Hua, continue explaining exactly what was wrong with Kiana!” Fu Hua nodded and said, “I believe the Stigmata Theater’s scoring mechanism should give performers a comprehensive score based on their performance within the theater.
“Kiana, I believe your previous performance in the Stigmata Theater had several main issues.
“First, the moment you appeared in the Stigmata Theater, you immediately shouted the names of the Academy Principal, Mei, Bronya, and myself.
“Then, the moment you saw Mr.
Siegfried, you directly called him Scummy Dad.
“All of these may have been points for which the Stigmata Theater deducted marks from Kiana.
“There shouldn’t have been any problems with Kiana’s combat performance.
She easily defeated the few Zombies that approached her.” Kiana placed her hands on her hips and confidently said, “Hehe, of course.
They were only a few Zombies.
This Young Lady defeated them with ease.” Theresa, however, seemed to have grasped the key point.
She said, “Fu Hua, are you saying that the reason Kiana only received a Mjolnir like this…
“Was precisely because her performance in the Stigmata Theater wasn’t good enough and she failed to obtain a higher score?” Fu Hua nodded.
In truth, this was also Otto’s idea.
“Then I’ll have to ask you for a favor.” Theresa said to Fu Hua, “I hope you can train Kiana for a while.
“If the Stigmata Theater opens again, Kiana must at least obtain…” Theresa paused, sounding somewhat hesitant.
“At the very least, her score can’t be lower than this time, right?” She felt it would already be good enough if Kiana could maintain her current score without regressing.
As for obtaining a higher score, perhaps they would only have a chance once another audience member went onstage to perform.
Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately stepped forward and said indignantly, “Auntie, why are you looking down on me so much?
Just wait.
Next time, I’ll definitely get one hundred points.” Seeing Kiana so motivated, Theresa couldn’t bring herself to say anything that might discourage her.
In the end, she merely said, “Fu Hua, I’ll leave Kiana’s training to you from now on.” Fu Hua agreed immediately.
This was precisely her objective and what Otto had asked her to do.
It was already getting late, so everyone prepared to return to their respective dormitories and rest.
Naturally, Kiana, Bronya, and Raiden Mei headed back together.
As they walked, they were still thinking about the Stigmata Theater.
They had no idea how long they would have to wait until the miraculous theater opened its curtains again.
Meanwhile, in Kiana’s dormitory, Xiao Shi had already awakened on Kiana’s small bed.
The Stigmata Theater had already been fully arranged, and the remaining details had been entrusted to the System to refine.
However, after looking at the pitch-black night sky outside and the silent room, Xiao Shi rubbed her stomach and felt a little hungry.
How strange.
Hadn’t Theresa and Kiana both seen her before?
Why had no one come to check on her yet?
Xiao Shi climbed straight out of bed, walked all the way to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and skillfully began rummaging through it.
She soon discovered half of a small cake that someone had left unfinished.
Picking up the small fork beside it, she slowly began placing bites of the sweet cake into her mouth.
Suddenly, the lights came on, and noisy voices rang out.
“Bronya, just wait.
Next time, I’ll definitely get one hundred points.” “Bronya believes Kiana can’t possibly get one hundred points.
Only Bronya, Big Sister Mei, and the Class Monitor can get one hundred points.” “Wait, Bronya, Kiana, did one of you forget to turn off the kitchen light before we left?
It shouldn’t be Himeko-sensei coming back either…
Never mind.
I’ll go take a look.” The moment Raiden Mei entered the kitchen, she saw a larger Kiana dressed in revealing clothes, sitting with her legs folded to one side in front of the open refrigerator while continuously chewing.
There was still some cake frosting left at the corner of her mouth.
She turned to look at Mei, moved her mouth a couple of times, and then swallowed.
