After taking forever, here's a new chapter.

...Well, more of a filler, yet progressing the plot, chapter.

Enjoy!

"Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! OH SHIT!"

Kiana Kaslana could be seen screaming her head off as she started running around in a panic. Causing a mini tornado to erupt into hers, Mei, and Bronya dorm in her panic.

"What am I going to do!?" She screamed. "What am I going to do!?"

'How about shutting up and letting me sleep?'

(M/N) twitched at the annoying walking, human alarm clock going off at the next dorm.

'The fuck is going on?'

He thought to himself as he got up.

After yet, ANOTHER failed attempt at trying to wake Mata Nui and Ignika up. He was not really feeling like putting up with the Tuna antics at the moment.

"OI!" He shouted as he got to the door to their room. "What the hell is going on here?"

Fun fact: (M/N) slowly regaining his emotions. SLOWLY.

"(M/N)!?"

Kiana yelled as she swung the door opened and...hugged him?

"The fuck?"

(M/N) blinked.

Because Kiana was for some reason hugging him tightly as she cried her eyes out.

"WAHHH!! (M/N)!!" Kiana bawled. "I'm dead! I'm so fucking DEAD!! Q_Q"

'...'

(M/N).exe has shut down; would you like to reboot?

Yes. No.

"What?" (M/N) blankly said. "Is going on?"

He asked the other two dorm residents.

"It's time for the yearly Valkyrie exams."

Mei explained.

"It's when we are given the opportunity to ascend the ranks and become A-rank, or higher, Valkyries."

"But in Subject Idiot Tuna case." Bronya deadpanned. "She is of very high risk of failing her exams and being demoted to a lower rank."

"SHUT UP!!"

Kiana cried.

They didn't need to spill out the truth!

(M/N) just blinked, confused on what the hell he should do in a situation like this.

Deciding to go with his instincts.

*PAT!!*

"There, there?"

(M/N) 'comforted' her.

"Just don't fail, easy as that?"

What?

He still wasn't good in situations like this.

Though it seems to work as Kiana started calming down.

"Yeah!" She nervously cheered herself up. "I can do this!"

"I'm Kiana Kaslana!" She tried to reassure herself. "I won't let some stupid exam get me down!"

"That's wonderful Kiana!"

Mei happily said as she saw her friend back to her old self.

"Good luck." Bronya cheered. "You're going to need it."

"Shut it, BRATNYA!!"

Kiana growled.

"Well." (M/N) tilted his head. "Now that that's been settled. Try not to let it get to you."

"The stress is not good for your health and will stunt your growth. Leaving you to be a tiny gremlin forever."

"EXCUSE ME!?"

Kiana screeched.

"Gremlin!?"

She shouted.

"Well of course." (M/N) crossed his arms. "All this stressing around is going to stunt your growth and leave you small."

*SCREECH!!*

Kiana screamed in anger!

She had a feeling he was mocking her for her not too big chest...and height!

"It's not my fault that you're a freaking giant!" Kiana growled.

"Well..." (M/N) smirked. "I guess you got the short end of the stick in your family genes. Am I wrong? Tiny and lightweight?"

"Stop it with weight thing!!" Kiana screamed. "I get it! I'm light! Will you shut up about it!?"

"Oh?" (M/N) saw an opportunity. "So, you're telling me you want to be heavier? My, my Kiana. I didn't know you dream of being a 'big' girl."

"EHH!?"

Kiana screamed.

"Don't worry." (M/N) patted her head. "I don't judge. Everyone has their taste and preference. Yours is just that you want to put on the pounds."

*WHISTLE!!*

Steam flew out of Kiana ears as her face turned red in embarrassment.

"Yo-Yo-YOU JACKASS!!"

Kiana screamed as she ran back into her room.

*SLAM!!*

Slamming the door shut, as she did so.

"..."

No thoughts, head empty.

(M/N) went back to his room, determined to go back to sleep and try to communicate with his tenants.

-Later-

In Theresa office, we can see the principal working on something.

"AHH!!" Theresa sighed. "What a hassle this workload is!"

With the exams coming up so soon, Theresa had her hands full trying to get everything set up and in working order.

"This time around, the Captain (Yes. Captain exists) of Hyperion is coming over to see the new recruits." Theresa mused to herself. "And to see our newest rising star."

It was no secret that (M/N) popularity has been on the rise. Especially after annihilating the former Valkyries and displaying his unexpected wealth.

Many were interested in recruiting him. But Theresa knew that none of them had anything that would entice (M/N) into joining their ranks.

After all, he only joined St. Freya because he had his own goals!

Theresa and Himeko weren't stupid. They knew he had ulterior motives in agreeing to join St. Freya.

'But if anything, Captain is the best choice for him to join.'

Theresa thought to herself.

She trusts the Captain with her life.

'It's funny.' She thought to herself. 'The Captain and (M/N) are kind of similar in a sense. Both are stubborn and hardheaded.'

Deciding to take a break, she looked out of her window.

'What a beautiful sunset.'

Theresa yawned as a button on her desk started blinking.

"Good evening, Madam Theresa."

A voice spoke up as a monitor suddenly popped up.

'Gah!' Theresa mentally thought to herself. 'Can't I have at least ONE second of peace!?'

"Overseer Otto has received your report regarding the Selene."

The caller continued as though she hadn't scared the principal out of her daydream.

But considering the monitor was only audio, it could be understood.

"I'll be visiting the Far East Branch in a couple of days to verify the reports' details."

She finished, finally allowing Theresa to get a word in.

'Damnit, it's Rita!' She thought to herself, before she spoke out loud. "Good afternoon, Rita! I'll admit this is a surprise, but I'll have the agenda prepared."

She said as she got up.

"But isn't this a little bit excessive?" She asked. "This visit feels over the top if you're just coming to see the battleship."

"But of course." Rita smiled behind the other line. "The Overseer wants me to attend the Valkyrie Exam for this year. He is most intrigued by your newest student and his potential."

'Ugh!' Theresa thought to herself. 'Now I gotta deal with peepaw Otto weirdness now!?'

Out loud, she said.

"Grampa is so pesky."

She grumbled to herself.

"He's not getting (M/N)."

"He's aware of that." Rita spoke up. "He's just curious as to how far this new warrior will go. We've seen the reports, Madam Theresa. He took them down quite easily and went above and beyond to save young Bronya."

Rita licked her lips.

"Quite the interesting boy, isn't he?"

Theresa did not know why, but she felt the need to laugh.

Why, oh why, was there some sort of irony in there?

"By the way, Madam Theresa." Rita spoke up once more. "You're just as cute as ever, like a little baby."

THAT triggered the woman quite well.

"LITTLE BABY!?" She screamed. "No one calls TeRIRI a LITTLE BABY!!"

Giggling, Rita proceeded to end the call on a final note.

"Excuse me for now." She spoke. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Hold it!" Theresa shouted. "Don't you dare!!"

*ZWOP!!*

Went the monitor as it disappeared.

Leaving a positively fuming principal behind.

"That woman!" Theresa gritted her teeth. "God! I really want to bash her head with the Judah!"

Growling, she decided to let off some steam from that.

-French Narrator: The Next Day-

"AH!" Kiana cheered. "What a beautiful day! Can't wait to kick some ass!"

"Whose ass is going to be kicked?" (M/N) tilted his head. "Yours or the exams?"

"HEY!"

Kiana shouted as (M/N) rained down on her parade.

"Whose side are you on!?"

"Yours." (M/N) shrugged. "But I'm just stating the truth."

"GRR! You!"

Kiana growled.

"Stop that or else!"

"...Else what?"

(M/N) blinked.

It was unexpected that Kiana would ask him to walk with her to the classroom. Usually, she would be with Mei or Bronya. But she explained that the other two had left early to focus on their studies.

Leaving (M/N) to be the lucky one to walk with her.

"Or else I will climb on you like a koala and hang onto you for the rest of the day!"

She threatened.

'...Wouldn't that only make people even more certain that we are boyfriend and girlfriend?'

The Toa of Life thought to himself.

Though the image of a pouting Kiana hanging on his back was rather cute.

'...Wait, what?'

(M/N) thought to himself.

'Why am I suddenly thinking about that kind of thing? I need to get back to my own world before it's too late.'

"Ah, Kiana!" Theresa voice snapped him out of his thoughts. "Come here for a moment."

"Ah, auntie!" Kiana nervously sweated. "I was just heading to my class?"

'Why phrase that as a question?'

(M/N) and Theresa sweatdropped at the panicking Kiana.

Before Theresa realized something.

"Baka!"

*BONK!!*

"OW!"

Kiana cried as Theresa whacked her on the head with Judah.

"You can't address me by my name in school and stop calling me your aunt!"

"You must address me as Madam Principal! Get it?"

"Eek!" Kiana squeaked. "Yes, Aunt...I mean, Madam Principal!"

"Good."

Theresa nodded.

"...Why though?"

(M/N) confused voice caught their attention.

"You get mad at being confused as a child, why don't you want something that actually tells people that your old?"

"GACK!"

Theresa spat out blood at that comment. While Kiana just sweatdropped.

'Blockhead (M/N) strikes again!'

She thought to herself.

Why is it that (M/N) could be observant on certain subjects, yet be so dense in social cues?

(Because he's been out of touch due to his immortal lifespan)

(And he's just like Zhongli. Dense and oblivious to the world around him)

"ANYWAYS!!" Theresa gave a high-pitched scream. "Back to the point! I've asked Himeko to give you pre-exam remedials."

"EH!?" Kiana shouted out in shock. "Remedials!? I'm an uber genius!"

'...Doubt.'

(M/N) said nothing.

"Your results speak otherwise." Theresa dryly said. "You managed to set a new low for House Kaslana last time."

"Urk!"

"If I don't get you some help, you'll probably flop the exams again."

Q_Q

"Don't forget our promise."

Theresa added.

???

'What promise?'

(M/N) thought to himself.

"That when I become an A-rank Valkyrie, you will tell me where my stupid old man is."

Kiana nodded her head.

'Her dad?' (M/N) blinked. 'Why is he missing anyways?'

"Correct." Theresa nodded. "Now, go to Himeko Kiana."

"Alright."

Kiana bowed her head down as she left.

Sighing, Theresa turned to (M/N).

...Only to see a dotted outline of himself as he went after Kiana.

"Gak!" Theresa shouted. "Damn that guy!"

She was going to tell him to also focus on his studies, but it seems he was more concerned about her niece's wellbeing at the moment.

'...This might actually be for the best.'

She thought to herself as she headed out.

"Ah, Kiana!" Himeko greeted her. "And...(M/N)?"

The Major did a double take at the Einherjar unexpected appearance.

"Yo."

Was all he said.

...Shaking her head, she addresses the young Valkyrie.

"I got some good news for you."

"You finally got married?"

Kiana asked.

"GACK!"

Himeko spat out blood.

"NO!" She shouted. "I got the Rank 1 Valkyrie in training to help you with your remedials!"

"EH!?" Kiana shouted. "Class Monitor Fu Hua?! But I thought auntie asked you to help me!"

"I have a booze par...err, I'm a busy woman you know."

Himeko quickly corrected herself.

Only for (M/N).

"And that's why you're forever alone." He deadpanned. "Because you are such a lazy drunk slacker that no one wants to date. No matter how beautiful you are."

*SPLURT!!*

Blood poured out of her mouth as (M/N) verbally destroyed her.

"GACK!"

She screamed.

"Why can't (M/N) teach me!?" Kiana whined, getting their attention. "Class Monitor is seriously boring! At least with (M/N) I can learn from training with him!"

"Because I said so." Himeko deadpanned. "And because she can help you in ways, (M/N) can't. Don't forget that (M/N) knowledge about Honkai and the like is lacking. Regardless of his insane power."

"He's an exception to common sense and logic."

"Exception, huh?" (M/N) as he crossed his arms and looked at them. "..."

"Fine." (M/N) waved a hand in response. "I don't capitalize on being stuck in the crowd as an average joe."

"Come on, Kiana." (M/N) sighed. "I'll be there if Fu Hua gives you trouble."

"Actually." Himeko started at that. "This is only for her; we have another class for you to take."

"..."

(M/N) stared at her.

"So, we need you to-HEY!" She suddenly shouted. "Where are you going!?"

She screamed out that question as (M/N) walked off with Kiana.

"Get back here!"

*HUM!!*

!?

"What the-!?"

Was all Himeko could say as she was dropped into a portal.

"..."

The rest of the way was in silence.

Kiana wasn't crazy enough to test her luck after that!

-After a short walk to the courtyard-

"Greetings Kiana." Class Monitor, Fu Hua greeted her. "And...greetings (M/N)?"

She blinked in confusion as the Einherjar was also present.

"Aren't you supposed to be attending your own classes?"

She asked.

"Meh."

(M/N) simply said.

"Understandable."

Fu Hua nodded.

'Well...' She thought to herself. 'At least I can observe him a little bit closer now.'

"Ugh..." Kiana groaned. "It's the (Hall) Class Monitor(!)."

"Please enter the simulation." Fu Hua smiled. "And let the test start."

Kiana did as she was told and began blasting and power kicking the simulation targets with ease.

"How's that!?"

Kiana triumphantly said.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

The computer began printing out the results.

"Hm." Fu Hua read. "Kiana Kaslana current rating. Attack: A. Reflex A. Knowledge base: ...E."

"WHAT THE HELL!?"

Kiana screamed.

"Overall rating: ...E." Fu Hua deadpanned. "The only reason you survived is thanks to your good physique."

'And your flexibility.'

(M/N) noted.

Observing how agile and quick on her feet she was.

"Oh, yeah?!" Kiana shouted. "Then what about (M/N)?!"

She pointed to the emotionless male who was just staring at them.

"Hmm..." Fu Hua mused. "How about we have him also try it out?"

'Could give me some useful data on him via his fighting skills.'

She thought to herself.

Every piece of information counted, and she would be a fool to pass up this opportunity.

'...Does Kiana want her pride to be destroyed even more?'

(M/N) thought to himself.

"What's the matter, Mr. Playboy." Kiana taunted him. "Scared?"

(M/N) rolled his eyes at that but proceeded, nevertheless. If she wanted her pride destroyed by witnessing the gap between them.

Then who was he to say no?

"Simulation starting!"

Fu Hua announced as the simulation began once more.

Soon the simulation enemies appeared.

*SCHWING!!*

Only for (M/N) to draw out Masamune and killed them all in one fell swoop.

Kiana: "..."

Fu Hua: "..."

???: "..."

Random students: "..."

*BZZT*

The computer printed out the results.

"..."

Fu Hua just stared at the message on it. There were no results, just a message sending chills down her spine.

Why? Because the results were.

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

"...Well." Fu Hua shook her head. "It's obvious that you have a lot to learn Kiana."

"..."

Kiana said nothing.

"But no worries!" Fu Hua smiled. "I'll give you decent training and by the end of it. You'll definitely have what it'll take to be A rank!"

'Hmph!' (M/N) scoffed. 'I don't doubt it.'

'Considering that you are older than you appear.'

He mused.

He wasn't stupid, he could sense that she was older than her appearance suggested. She was like him in a way. Both immortal.

'Things are starting to heat up.'

He thought to himself as he watched Fu Hua started putting Kiana through the wringer.

'Oh!' He realized something. 'Almost forgot.'

Waving his hand subtly he freed a certain someone.

-Theresa office-

"Paperwork, paperwork." Theresa grumbled. "What else is new?"

*HUM!!*

!?

"What the!?" Theresa shouted as portal suddenly appeared on her ceiling. "What the hell is-!?"

"AHHHH!!"

Himeko could be heard screaming as she finally fell out of the portal.

"HIMEKO!?" Theresa shouted as she rushed to the Major side. "What the hell!?"

"I have been falling..." Himeko gasped as she yelled.

"FOR THIRTY MINUTES!!"

Omake: If you saw the small part at the end of last chapter, then this will be familiar. Only instead of (M/N), it will be Kiana responding.

"No matter what I do. No one at school wants to... be friends with me."

Adam tearfully said.

"Yeah, I literally can't relate to that problem like at all." Kiana (She's in Herrscher of Flamescion right now)

 smugly said. Remembering how awesome she was back in St. Freya.

"But you know who NO ONE LIKES!?"

Kiana got an evil look in her eyes.

"HEY GRANDPA!!"

Camera pans to Kevin Kaslana

 giving her a deadpanned look with his arms crossed.

"First of all, how dare you."
