Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 275 Saint Freya Campus Festival (Act 2) Li Sushang wakes up

After a while, he said goodbye to Yae Rin, Yuexia, Sirin and Kiana and told them to be obedient and sit in the special venue of St. Freya Academy.

Jiang Ming walked through the crowded crowd in the venue and came outside. The strange thing was that there were hundreds of Valkyries around him, but they still didn't notice him. He then walked towards the central hall and then entered the review room which was built in a short time behind the simulation training room.

Kiana, Yae Rin and the others sat next to Mei and the others who were resting, and told everyone that Mei Hokuchen and the Queen would also participate in this selection.

Everyone was very surprised, but after hearing Jiang Ming's arrangements, they gradually felt relieved.

............

"I'm here. It should be starting soon, right? I see someone is already getting ready to go on stage."

Jiang Ming gently pushed open the door and saw two people with similar hairstyles but different hair colors: an adult blond man and a white-haired loli with a child's body - they were the Bishop of Destiny - Otto Apokalis and the Principal of St. Freya Academy - Theresa Apokalis.

"Oh, you're here, my friend. Haha, to be honest, I'm also a little surprised by your proposal this time. Gathering the Valkyries from the headquarters and the seven branches here to select the elites... I'm really a little curious, what do you want to announce?"

Theresa nodded and gave a brief review and explanation.

"Well, in three minutes, the Valkyries will be on the field, including the Destiny Headquarters, the European Branch, the Atlantic Branch, the Oceania Branch, the Shenzhou Branch, the African Branch, the Siberian Branch, and the Far East Branch."

“The selection will be carried out in three stages in total.”

"In the first stage, each Valkyrie will go on stage alone and enter the simulated training room to be randomly selected. In front of all the Valkyries, they will fight against the simulated Honkai creatures they have selected to check their individual combat qualities and strengths and weaknesses."

"In the second stage, the Valkyries will go on stage in teams of three. They will enter the simulated training room and undergo a random draw to fight against more powerful and more numerous simulated Honkai creatures - to check the team's combat qualities as well as their strengths and weaknesses."

"In the third stage, Valkyries can choose other Valkyries for academic exchanges. In essence, they are fighting each other. After all, they are in front of you, Jiang Ming. Everyone has an urge to show off, and they can better discover the potential advantages between the Valkyries."

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Well, although the third stage can't bring any benefits in fighting against Honkai, it's more about the Valkyries' inner desire to perform, but we have plenty of time to find out the gaps and make up for them."

"Today is Monday. The campus festival of St. Freya Academy will continue for five days. Summer vacation will end on Friday, but Saturday and Sunday will still be holidays. The school will officially start on Monday next week, and I will also be in seclusion."

“How many days will it last?”

Theresa asked for everyone, and Jiang Ming smiled as if to say there was nothing to worry about.

"Only four days. It will be quick."

Theresa frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"Is this a retreat? Shouldn't it be a year?"

"I have my own way, don't worry."

As the two were talking, three minutes had passed, so Otto reminded them: "Okay, guys, the time is up, let's see how our lovely Valkyrie performs."

Rita's voice as the host quickly reached everyone's ears.

"I think everyone knows the purpose of inviting you here, so Rita will stop talking nonsense and now introduce the key judges of the competition, starting with this one."

In sync with Rita's voice, the spotlight hit a corner of the judges' seat with a "click!"

"Provide benefits to the Valkyries and fight against the fate of the Archbishop of Honkai Impact 3rd - Lord Otto."

Otto waved his hand and the Valkyries cheered from the audience. Apart from anything else, he was indeed famous.

"She is amiable and considerate, the principal of St. Freya Academy - Lady Theresa."

Theresa waved to the crowd, which attracted many girls' voices. Her lovely image was already lingering in everyone's mind.

When the noise died down, the shining spotlight shone on Jiang Ming, and Rita continued speaking upon seeing this.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. As the proposer of the selection and also the judge, the fourth S-level of Destiny, kind and gentle, and the fiancé of Lady Youlandel - Lord Jiang Ming!"

"Lord Jiang Ming—Lord Jiang Ming—!"

“It’s really lively.”

The entire venue was filled with cheers of a completely different level than before, and then it was time for the judges to give their speeches.

"Then let's get started. Please go on stage in order."

There was no complicated and lengthy preface. After receiving Jiang Ming's instructions, the A-level Valkyrie from the Shenzhou branch took the stage first. After the system of the simulated training room was extracted, the Valkyrie did her best to show her strength to everyone present.

After a while, the simulated battle ended. The Valkyrie was sweating profusely. After returning to reality, she did not leave immediately, but looked at the judges' desk with anticipation.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming thought he was going to say something, but he found that Otto and Theresa both held up a sign with seven points and eight points respectively on it, but he was the only one who had not expressed his opinion.

Jiang Ming cast a puzzled look at Theresa.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah, this is the scoring mechanism grandpa mentioned. Scoring the Valkyries according to their performance will let them know our evaluation and give them motivation to move forward."

"Yeah? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Otto smiled as usual: "Now you know, right? You are the only one who has not been scored yet, so don't keep this Valkyrie waiting for too long."

Jiang Ming looked around at the judges' podium, but only saw a score board with a ten.

"..."

"Bishop, can you lend me your score card?"

"That won't do. The ten points you gave will definitely motivate the Valkyries even more."

"Moral kidnapping? As the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny, your affirmation will surely be more useful than mine."

So, the Valkyries present could see Jiang Ming and the Bishop of Destiny fighting each other just to grab a score card.

Soon, Jiang Ming pressed the bishop's face with his left hand and held up the eight-point score card with his right hand.

.............

After that, more and more Valkyries came forward, and soon it was Mei Beichen's turn.

The purple-haired girl changed out of her usual plain clothes and put on the warrior outfit she wore when she first met Jiang Ming. This made the Valkyries look at each other in bewilderment. After all, there were regulations on which Valkyrie would participate in this selection, but they had never seen this purple-haired warrior girl.

Beichen Mei looked around and spoke loudly.

"Please skip the first and second stages. Next, please step forward and fight with me, Valkyries!"

"It's finally here..."

Jiang Ming sighed softly, and prepared to let Bianca go on stage so that they could truly determine the winner.

But Otto suddenly stopped him, and facing Jiang Ming's gaze, he explained slowly.

"Don't worry, I have arranged a better opponent for this lady, and I won't let you down."

"...I'll trust you this time."

If other Valkyries come on the field, even if they are defeated, Jiang Ming can send Bianca to the field according to Beichen Meiyi's own statement that they can fight in rotation.

While Beichen Mei was still waiting, a clear girl's voice sounded from outside the venue, and the clear voice recited slowly.

"At that time, I was young and didn't know the dangers. Fortunately, I met the senior who showed his sword intention."

"My ancestors gave me the essence of the sword, and that's how I was able to achieve Taixu."

"Five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and today I have finally mastered the sword technique."

"Swordsmanship enables me to see the world, and the whole world is in my sight!"

The girl's figure gradually emerged. Her soft hair was tied into a pair of ponytails with a yellow satin ribbon. She was wearing a yellow and white ancient costume, and her beautiful brown eyes sparkled with joy.

Jiang Ming showed a look of surprise on his face, which soon turned into relief. He was looking forward to this competition.

Beichen Meiyi showed excitement: "May I ask your name?"

The girl in yellow smiled faintly: "I am Li Sushang!"
