"Teresa, how have you been?"
Ao Tuo looked at the figure projected in the air and revealed a kind smile. It was a kind smile that did not match the appearance of a young man in his twenties, but Ao Tuo did not feel anything strange, and neither did the person who was talking to him.
"Grandpa…I'm no longer the Valkyrie of Destiny. I'm now the principal of St. Freya Academy.”
Teresa Apokaris was a petite girl with long white hair and an exquisite face. Her surname was the same as the Mandate Bishop Otto, and she even used the strange and intimate term " grandfather " to address him. However, the girl's attitude was not very friendly, and her tone was a little stiff.
"I know, but if you or your beloved St. Freya Academy encounter any difficulties, you must tell me, okay? Even if you no longer belong to the heavens, you are still my lovely granddaughter. As a grandfather, it is only right for me to help my granddaughter.”
Ao Tuo still maintained his kind smile, as if he was looking at a rebellious child, full of tolerance.
Teresa didn't say anything. She just looked at Otto.
Seeing this, Ao Tuo continued to speak.
"I contacted you this time to tell you something about K423.”
"What happened to her? You promised me before that you wouldn't hurt her. If grandfather wants to go back on his word, I'll definitely drive Schuberian…"
"Calm down, calm down. She's in the Easternmost Land now, out of our Tianming's sphere of influence. She's very close to you. However, her condition isn't very good. Siegfried is missing, and the girl is living on the streets alone.”
"How did Siegfried go missing? Also, are you spying on Kiana?”
Teresa was getting more and more agitated. She said a name, a name that was very different from the combination of letters and numbers that Otto had mentioned. However, Otto didn't show any surprise because it was the same person.
A tool with a human name, and it was personally given by the human's father. How interesting.
The corners of Ao Tuo's mouth curled up slightly, as if he wanted to laugh, laugh at the so-called mockery of human nature. However, because the person he was communicating with was his beloved granddaughter, he held back.
" I have nothing to do with Siegfried's disappearance. It's his own fault. As for K423... Well, as for Kiana, do you really think that an underage girl who travels around and even buys a long-distance plane ticket from Europe to the Easternmost Land alone won't cause any trouble? If it wasn't for my help, she wouldn't have been able to move freely. Now, she's gone to Long Sky City. Just like you asked, I didn't send any members of Destiny to the Easternmost Land. I don't know how she's doing now, but she shouldn't have starved to death. After all, it's only been a day and a half.”
" It's already been a day and a half?!"
Teresa revealed an anxious expression. Seeing this, Otto smiled meaningfully.
"Looks like you still have some urgent matters to deal with, so let's end our conversation here. My lovely granddaughter, when you're tired of playing, remember to come back. The door of destiny is always open to you.”
After the communication ended, Teresa, who was in the principal's office at St. Freya Academy, jumped down from her office chair.
Yes, jump.
This extremely normal-sized office chair was still a little too tall for the petite Teresa. If she sat on it, the girl's feet wouldn't be able to touch the ground, and if she used those small-sized child chairs, Teresa's head wouldn't be able to surpass the somewhat tall office desk.
To solve this problem, they had to buy a set of children's desks and chairs and put them in the office. Teresa naturally rejected such an action that lacked the dignity of the school head.
St. Freya Academy used to be called the Easternmost Branch of Destiny. Later on, because Teresa was dissatisfied with some of the actions of the Destiny Bishop Otto, she became independent and became a special school. Teresa was the head of the school.
As the world faced imminent danger from the occasional collapse, Destiny, who was at the forefront of the battle against the collapse, undoubtedly had a very special status. At the same time, she also had a lot of authority. As a former Destiny Branch, Saint Freya School could access most of the information.
Very quickly, Teresa confirmed that her grandfather was not lying through the records of the airport in Chang Kong City. Kiana had really gone to Chang Kong City.
Teresa's first reaction was to bring her back to take care of her.
However, Teresa quickly overthrew her thoughts.
This was St. Freya Academy. One of the reasons for its establishment was that Teresa objected to her grandfather Otto's indifferent attitude towards the Valkyrie's life. She wanted to establish a humane Valkyrie training institution. However, in the end, it was still to train the Valkyrie.
The Valkyrie had never had a good ending.
Most people were mediocre people who lacked talent. Becoming a Valkyrie required talent. Fighting against the collapse of destiny also required a large number of powerful Valkyries. So how should they solve this problem?
Under the instruction of the great Bishop Otto, the researchers studied, imitated, and modified the power contained in the ancient family bloodline, so artificial Stigmata was born.
It would increase the Valkyrie's aptitude, strength, and adaptability to collapse in all aspects, but at the cost of greatly shortening her lifespan.
Because of the artificial Stigmata, it was destined for them to die at the age of 20 or 30. However, for the Valkyrie, such an outcome was actually lucky because most of them had died in battle before that.
Collapse was a disaster that targeted all of humanity. It was a calamity that led civilization to the end. One could imagine the outcome of resisting the collapse with individual strength. Even an outstanding A-class Valkyrie, or even an S-class Valkyrie, could not guarantee that they would survive the next collapse.
Teresa definitely didn't want Kiana to walk down this miserable path.
She planned to go to Chang Kong City and observe Kiana in secret to confirm her condition. Then, she would think of a way to let her enter an ordinary school and enjoy the life of an ordinary person without worries.
