Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

The one who resembles the law master is Sato Yuno.

If her existence were to be discovered by headquarters, even she herself would be unwilling to imagine what the future would hold.

If things go in a bad direction, the child's future will be shrouded in endless darkness.

This is the one thing that Theresa will absolutely not allow.

Rita looked dejected and said softly:

"Is Lady Theresa trying to get rid of me?"

"Rita, is someone disliked?"

Even though she knew it was just a little prank by the maid, Theresa wavered for a moment, wondering if she had gone too far. But she quickly shook her head to clear her head.

This maid still has this perverse sense of humor.

The girl shook off the fleeting thoughts in her mind and straightened her expression.

Her lovely face took on a touch of authority as her expression turned solemn, and her azure eyes intently gazed at the visitor before her. Theresa said:

"Rita, I'm asking you seriously now."

“His Holiness should know that St. Freya is out of danger, so the reason he didn’t withdraw the order and still let you come is definitely not as simple as letting you go on vacation.”

"An S-class Valkyrie isn't that leisurely yet."

"And what exactly is it about St. Freya that requires your personal confirmation, as an S-rank Valkyrie?"

The girl's question echoed in the large office. Rita composed herself, revealing a flawless, faint smile, and offered no reply.

Theresa had no intention of asking her for an answer from the beginning, and given their positions, it was unlikely that the other party would easily reveal their purpose.

She asked softly:

"who is it?"

"Raiden Mei?"

The girl uttered the name softly, but before the other person could respond, she continued:

"Or...K423?"

Super straight ball.

But it hit the bullseye.

That's what makes Theresa so adorable; her ability to be so honest about things she cares about is wonderful.

The maid maintained her gentle smile. After rising, she gave an elegant bow, and the way her slender hands, wrapped in black lace, gently lifted her skirt was particularly alluring.

Theresa frowned as she looked at the curves of the woman's body, which were now more pronounced due to her movements.

Tsk, what a lecher.

This woman is still so flawed.

Immediately, Rita's parting words disrupted Theresa's focus, which was beginning to veer off course.

"Then it's up to Lady Theresa to decide. Rita will be very busy over the next week, please forgive her."

The maid deftly closed the door, her figure disappearing into the gap as it closed.

Theresa sighed and rested her head on the desk; talking to Rita was not an easy task for her.

I need to have a serious talk with Yuno. At least for the time being, I absolutely cannot let her use any of her powers at the academy.

Therefore, the opponent's ridiculously high training volume must be reconsidered; otherwise, the use of powers will be almost unavoidable.

"Doesn't that mean you've said everything?"

Recalling the maid's reaction, the girl found it somewhat amusing, even though she had come in the name of headquarters and on the bishop's orders.

However, Rita herself doesn't seem to have such a firm stance.

She's such an unpredictable woman.

That's precisely what makes them seem difficult to deal with.

The coming week is going to be tough. She doesn't know why, but she always feels that Kiana isn't good at dealing with someone like Rita.

But could Su Qing'an unexpectedly handle it?

After all, that child was being a bit too cold to the regular students.

But who knows? Even if he's aloof, he's still a teenager in his adolescence. When faced with a maid-type beauty who easily sparks his imagination, the hormones he generates are incredibly potent.

Although Su Qing'an was essentially surrounded by a group of beautiful girls with large breasts and long legs while studying at St. Freya, he maintained his own pace. The aloofness in his demeanor and eyes was like an invisible wall around his heart, and the temptation of being able to get close to the beautiful girls at any time seemed to not exist in his eyes.

The desire for a life of simplicity and detachment has reached an abnormal level.

This left her, the headmistress, with no room to even utter a word about gossip about male-female relationships. In every sense, both Himeko and she felt somewhat disappointed at not being able to see any excitement.

Even so, Theresa still felt that Rita's level was completely different from the other trainees.

That's not a difference in appearance or physique.

If I had to describe it, it would be the allure that lies between youthful innocence and maturity, and the perfectly balanced sense of distance.

Coupled with her acting skills that are hard to distinguish from reality and her grasp of human nature, it's no wonder that she can deliver a powerful blow at any time and break people's defenses.

In Theresa's eyes, Rita is a dangerous person who gives others a perfect impression and has an invincible aura.

The girl tapped her head, stopping her thoughts from spiraling out of control, and muttered to herself:

"Sigh, what am I even thinking?"

"Even Rita wouldn't go looking for Su Qing'an for no reason."

"The two of them should be like two parallel lines that never intersect."

Yes. That was certainly true before Rita was piqued by Lord Otto's curiosity.

Theresa sent an email to Yuno Sato, telling her to be careful not to use her powers, and then began the rest of her actions.

She solemnly pulled out a comic book titled "Houmu's Great Adventure" from the pile of documents, and after inexplicably letting out a cute sneeze, the girl hugged the comic book and sank into the soft office chair.

She held up the comic book, her azure eyes fixed intently on the images on the page.

This is not office time.

I'm sure.

99. A profile of Su Qing'an's personality.

February 9, 2014, nighttime.

Inside a guest room at St. Freya Academy.

The girl sat at the table in a silk nightgown. Her somewhat playful sheep horn Katyusha hat had been removed. Her short, gray-gold hair was wet, with a few strands sticking unruly to her fair cheeks, creating a cute contrast to her usual impeccable demeanor.

She twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, her focused and serene face appearing somewhat docile at that moment.

She memorized the large amounts of data and retrieved records bit by bit. It is a long and complicated process to seriously understand a thing, a phenomenon, or a person.

From raising doubts to self-diagnosis, and finally discovering the problem, one can then prepare to calculate the answer.

Su Qing'an.

Rita murmured the name to herself. Among men, there were very few who had successfully transplanted artificial stigmata; in fact, it could be said to be the only truly successful case to date.

The artificial stigma did not erode him to death at an extremely rapid rate after the transplant stabilized. According to some higher-ups, Su Qing'an had a ten-year durability period, just like Valkyries who had received normal artificial stigma transplants.

Time is the perfect tool for the battlefield.

Rita herself naturally disliked this notion; to her, being a Valkyrie was a noble mission.

Taking it upon themselves to protect the world and its people is one of the core principles that Valkyries must uphold.

Therefore, she cannot accept being referred to as a prop by some people.

One of the reasons for this aversion is that, in a distant memory, when Rita was still a child, she was once saved by a passing Valkyrie.

This event was the reason and the initial motivation that led her to embark on this thorny and death-ridden path.

Rita Roseweather.

Before her profession as a maid, she was first and foremost an excellent Valkyrie.

She naturally carried out the tasks assigned by the bishop diligently.

For example, she has now successfully observed K423's current mental state, interpersonal relationships, combat strength, personality tendencies, and other data.

Rita is very good at profiling people; even professional psychological profilers might not be as good at it as she is.

Just as Kiana's intuition told her, in a sense this woman could indeed see into people's hearts.

K423.

She is a determined and qualified warrior who has been tempered by life-and-death battles, but as a Valkyrie, she still has many areas where she is a bit immature.

She possesses an extremely sensitive intuition, almost like that of a wild animal, and seems to be able to distinguish lies and malice to a certain extent. Her core personality leans towards being aloof and sensitive. She appears very approachable, but it is difficult for her to become a close friend.

They have doubts about their origins, but are in a stage of subconscious self-deception.

Currently, there is a certain thirst for power, and the mental state occasionally leans towards anxiety.

Siegfried Kaslana was her trusted father, holding an extremely important place in her heart.

Within the academy, there are no more than ten people in one's social circle.

Among them, Raiden Mei, Sato Yuno, Bronya, and Su Qing'an are the few people she can consider as friends.

She treats Himeko Murata, Theresa Apocalypse, Sara Nishikujo, and others with the same affection and trust she would show to an elder.

It is predicted that if something happens to these people, it will greatly stimulate K423 himself, and there is a certain possibility that he will go berserk. It is recommended to add people in his circle of acquaintances to the observation target.

Rita wrote down a rough but accurate assessment on the draft of her report, and then added a sentence without thinking.

K423 possesses exceptional combat instincts and intelligence. Based on her past experiences and behavioral observations, it can be concluded that she has the ancestral spirit and will of the Kaslana family, and she is unhesitating in helping others, possessing a strong sense of justice and awareness.

I believe she can become a Valkyrie who perfectly embodies the ideal.

After writing this passage, Rita chose to cross it all out.

That bishop doesn't need this information. Even if he presented his own judgment, it would be considered as almost unnecessary information filtering, and his stance and opinions would be seen through.
