Meanwhile, at St. Freya Academy dormitory...
"Damn it! Who is this guy? Why does he want to kill Valkyries? If I ever meets him, I'll definitely make him pay!"
Kiana looked at the options before her and angrily waved her fists.
She aspired to become the strongest Valkyrie, and now this guy actually wanted to directly kill everyone. As an agent of justice, how could Kiana just sit by and watch?
"Save it, idiot Kiana. This Welt is most likely from Anti-Entropy, and should be related to their Sovereign. You couldn't beat him even if you tried."
Bronya, who appeared to be a Valkyrie on the surface but was actually an Anti-Entropy spy, said expressionlessly beside Kiana.
The teasing tone in her voice made Kiana feel uncomfortable all over.
"Mei~ Bronya is talking bad about me again!" She turned around and hugged Mei's arm, pouting as she pointed toward Bronya's direction.
"I didn't even provoke her!"
"Alright~ Bronya isn't wrong though." Raiden Mei chuckled softly and patted Kiana's head. "Besides, Kiana, weren't you listening in class again? Didn't the teacher just introduce Anti-Entropy's Sovereign Welt Joyce in history class?"
"Wh-where! I just didn't remember for a moment..."
As soon as Mei mentioned studying, Kiana's delicate face immediately showed a pained expression.
Come on, they were Valkyries protecting the world! Wasn't combat power the most important thing in fighting against Honkai? What was the point of those boring cultural classes?
If only there were just combat classes... The girl defeated by studying was secretly complaining to herself.
But Kiana could only think these thoughts to herself - saying them out loud would definitely earn Bronya's mockery.
"Idiot Kiana, stop fooling around. We should first think about how to get out of here." Bronya tilted her head expressionlessly, her inorganic gray pupils observing everything frozen around them.
"Is this power from a Herrscher? But why would a Herrscher target three ordinary Valkyries like them? And who are those people speaking on the panel?"
At this moment, Bronya's eyes were full of confusion.
She tried calling for Project Bunny, but unexpectedly, Project Bunny didn't respond to her summons this time.
"But Bronya..." After being brought back to attention by Bronya, Kiana also carefully observed the question. But no matter how she looked at it, a certain familiar name kept glaringly attracting her attention.
"Why does this question mention your name?"
"You're asking Bronya? How would Bronya know?" The contemplating Bronya looked at Kiana speechlessly, her gaze as if looking at a paramecium.
"Anyway, let's analyze this question first."
"Ugh, answering questions? No way, I hate answering questions the most... Wait, should we really answer this question of unknown origin?"
Hearing the words "answering questions," Kiana reflexively covered her ears and wailed, but after coming to her senses, she pretended nothing happened and pointed at the panel questioningly.
"Kiana..." Mei smiled helplessly. "But we don't have any other choice now."
"This Gap of Destiny hasn't specified a time limit for answering, which means we can thoroughly analyze the problem, but it also means..."
Mei paused, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
"It also means in the worst case scenario, if we don't answer, we might never get out."
"Simply put, it's like a room in a game where you can't leave without doing something," Bronya supplemented.
"Ah, this..." Only after hearing this did Kiana understand the gravity of the situation. She panicked and jumped around, somewhat at a loss.
She still had to become the strongest Valkyrie and then find that bastard dad to give him a slap! She couldn't be trapped here for life.
"In that case, let's analyze quickly!" Staring intently at the question before her, Kiana's expression became extremely serious.
"Heh~ There's really no helping idiot Kiana." Seeing Kiana like this, Bronya's cute face rarely showed a somewhat serious expression. "Let Bronya teach a certain idiot the method of solving problems."
She clapped her hands and began analyzing each option for Kiana.
"Bronya believes the key to this question lies in that sentence in the middle - that is, 'before making his transcendence declaration to Bronya.'"
"Wh-why?" Kiana asked somewhat puzzledly.
"Kiana really is an idiot." Bronya rolled her eyes at her. "Because this question can determine the timeline through Bronya."
"Using the current Bronya as a reference point, since Bronya hasn't experienced this event yet, this question most likely describes the future."
"Ah, but is predicting the future really possible?" Kiana, who was left dazed by Bronya's explanation, now felt completely confused. She really wasn't suited for answering questions.
"Does Kiana think what's happening now is reasonable?" Bronya lowered her head and complained somewhat helplessly.
"Forget it, let's get back to the question." Bronya didn't intend to argue with an idiot and quickly ended this topic.
"First are options A and C. The first is killing Schicksal's Valkyries, and the second is considering Anti-Entropy's Sovereign Welt Joyce a failure."
"Bronya believes that among these four options, A and C should be eliminated first, and the reason is simple."
"As a member of an opposing organization, killing one or two Valkyries is a normal situation. At the same time, in Anti-Entropy, this scattered alliance, there should be plenty of people dissatisfied with the Sovereign."
Speaking of this, Bronya couldn't help but think of her mother, Anti-Entropy Executor Cocolia.
So for this question, she actually already had an answer.
"Choose D."
"After all, how could Anti-Entropy's Sovereign possibly let the child of an opposition leader get his core? That doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it."
But this reason obviously couldn't be let known to Kiana and Mei-senpai.
So she randomly found an excuse to brush it off.
"As for B and D, Bronya actually struggled for a long time. In Schicksal's database, the Second Herrscher's subjugation war was led solely by Schicksal, so logically this question should choose B. But Bronya doesn't think she would become a Herrscher, so Bronya chooses D."
Just like that, under the astonished gazes of the two, Bronya decisively pressed option D.
