Looking at the calf in front of her, Sister Ellie frowned and reached out to pinch it a few times.
Sister Ellie had already healed Wendy's calf several times.
But each time, the effect wasn't very good.
"Sister Ellie, if there's no other way, this is fine too," Wendy said.
Every time Sister Ellie treated her, her calf would only recover for a period of time.
After a while, her calf would slowly lose sensation again.
"Don't speak yet, let me think," Sister Ellie said, frowning as she stared at Wendy's calf.
Logically speaking, after treatment, it should have returned to normal immediately.
However, there was a herrscher gem on Wendy's calf bone.
This gem constantly emitted Honkai Energy, which led to a cycle of healing on one side and destruction on the other.
If she wanted to remove the gem, it was also very simple; Sister Ellie just needed to give Wendy a new calf.
Although the consumption would be very high...
But this Wind Herrscher's gem had already chosen Wendy, and others couldn't use it, not even coexist with it.
When Sister Ellie was at the Oceania Branch, she'saw' the Oceania Branch's experimental records, and the results were similar to those of the Death Herrscher gem.
Most of the experimental subjects couldn't withstand the immense Honkai Energy brought by the gem, leading to their collapse and death.
It's different now; the gem of desire truly resided quietly on Wendy's calf.
And Wendy could also utilize some of the abilities brought by the gem.
"Perhaps, there really isn't any other way," Sister Ellie sighed.
"Wendy, you have two choices: one is to let the gem remain on your calf, and you can use some of the gem's abilities."
Sister Ellie paused, then stated the other method.
"The second choice is to directly replace your calf; my healing ability can guarantee no after-effects."
After speaking, Sister Ellie waited for Wendy's answer.
Wendy sat there in silence for a long time. "Sister Ellie, please keep the gem on my calf."
Wendy still chose the first option.
Because the abilities the gem gave her were truly powerful, much stronger than her previous self.
"But every time I use the gem's abilities, someone whispers in my ear, telling me to destroy everything around me..." Wendy clenched her fists.
Regarding this issue, "Don't worry about that; we have experts for mental issues."
"Mental experts?" Wendy looked up immediately upon hearing this. She used to be at Saint Freya too, so how did she not know there were mental experts here?
"Yes, do you remember the one who knocked you down from the sky?" Sister Ellie asked.
"The one who knocked me down from the sky? You mean, Sister Fu Hua?" Wendy's mouth twitched.
She had a very deep impression of Fu Hua; with just one move, she had knocked her down from the sky.
Now she was being told that she was a mental expert?
"Sister Ellie, do you S-Rank Valkyries all have some strange professions?"
"Huh? S-Rank Valkyries are just S-Rank Valkyries," Sister Ellie said, scratching her head.
At the same time, she reached out and touched Wendy's forehead, wondering why she would ask such a strange question.
After Sister Ellie removed her hand, Wendy extended her fingers and counted them.
"Sister Ellie, look, you, as an S-Rank Valkyrie, are also skilled in healing. You should be best suited for logistics, right?"
Saying this, Wendy bent another finger. "Then Sister Fu Hua, she's also S-Rank, but you also said she's a mental expert?"
"Finally, Teacher Theresa, although she doesn't have a special skill like yours, she also manages this Academy."
"The three S-Ranks I know, you're all like this."
"So, if I want to be promoted to S-Rank, do I also need some other special skill?"
After speaking, Wendy looked at Sister Ellie with innocent eyes.
After Wendy finished speaking, Sister Ellie turned her head away.
It seemed that what Wendy said made a lot of sense. Besides the three of them, the other two S-Ranks, Durandal and Rita, one had overwhelming combat power, and the other specialized in intelligence.
"That's not true. As long as your achievements are sufficient and your strength meets the requirements, you can apply for the promotion assessment," Sister Ellie said, directly pinching Wendy's calf with a bit more force.
After helping Wendy repair the muscles around her calf again, Sister Ellie helped Wendy put on the exoskeleton.
"Don't think too much about it. When Fu Hua and Theresa return, we'll try to suppress the Honkai interference for you," Sister Ellie said, standing up and stretching.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Ellie." After moving her leg, Wendy also stood up.
Although the exoskeleton allowed her to float in the air, she still preferred the feeling of having her feet on the ground.
"Sister Ellie, can others truly accept a strange person like me?" Wendy suddenly asked.
"Hmm? Why do you ask that?" Sister Ellie's movements paused.
"It's just that, I feel like besides you guys, everyone else looks at me like I'm some rare species," Wendy said with a bitter smile.
"So, what am I now, a human or a Herrscher?" Wendy bit her lip and asked.
"What's wrong with being human, and what's wrong with being a Herrscher? They look at you strangely only because you live with us," Sister Ellie said, patting Wendy's shoulder.
"Live with you?"
"Have you really never thought about the identities of the people in our dormitory...?" Sister Ellie looked at Wendy with a strange expression.
"Aren't they all normal Valkyries?"
"Me, and Fu Hua, S-Rank Valkyries," Sister Ellie said, pointing to herself.
"Kiana, Mei, Bronya, although they failed to be promoted to A-rank, they can still be considered A-rank Valkyries."
"And your Sister Mei is also the third herrscher, just like you, a Herrscher."
"Your Sister Kiana, she calls Theresa Aunt, so her identity is already established here."
"Finally, your Sister Bronya, although other students think her identity isn't as prominent as the other two, if you really consider strength, she's the most stable one."
"Plus an Academy principal and a teacher, do you think living here is conspicuous or not?"
After Sister Ellie finished speaking, she looked at Wendy's suddenly enlightened expression and couldn't help but feel that she looked a bit foolish.
"Sister Mei, she's also a Herrscher?"
Listening to Wendy's words, Sister Ellie whispered to herself, 'Isn't that right? In this house, it's embarrassing if you're not a Herrscher...'
"In short, being a Herrscher is no big deal," Sister Ellie said, patting Wendy's shoulder again.
"Those people just want to see if the people living in this dormitory have anything special about them."
