Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 158 I Value You

Susanna stared blankly at Jiang Ming in front of her and his hand placed on her heart. After a while, a moved smile appeared on the girl's face. The faint blush on her face told her mood at the moment. The girl said gratefully.

"Thank you, Master Jiang Ming, I think I understand."

"Well, that's perfect."

Jiang Ming gently placed his hand knife on the girl's head, as if in revenge for the girl having just snatched his cleaning tools.

"Now let's clean up."

"Yes!"

After taking the broom handed over by Susanna, Jiang Ming began to clean the library. During this process, Susanna seemed to realize something. She suddenly turned to look at Jiang Ming and asked.

"By the way, Lord Jiang Ming, I heard from the captain that the headquarters sent me here for an important mission, and I am the most suitable candidate for this mission. No matter what...it shouldn't be this, right...?"

"Ah, this... this..."

Jiang Ming paused and swallowed because he was nervous and didn't know how to explain it. He said with gritted teeth.

"Um... the mission is just an excuse. I value you more, so I asked the bishop to transfer you to the headquarters of the destiny. So, in order to live up to my expectations, you must work hard."

"Yes! Susanna will definitely not disappoint Master Jiang Ming's expectations!!"

After Susanna responded loudly, Jiang Ming nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. Next, I will find a way to get you into the Immortal Blade as soon as possible. After you enter..."

"Eh--?!"

Before Jiang Ming could finish his words, Susanna interrupted him with a scream, and the latter gave him a smile of pretended anger, but Susanna did not notice this and kept asking.

"No... the Immortal Blade?! Is it the Immortal Blade that I know! The strongest Valkyrie unit in the Destiny Headquarters led by Lady Yulandel, Lady Rita, and you, Lord Jiang Ming?!"

"This...Is this something I can enter?!"

"Ah! Sorry, I'm losing my confidence again..."

Seeing the girl like this, Jiang Ming put his hands on her shoulders and rubbed them gently to relieve her tense body.

"Oh, it's okay. I'll continue. As the vice-captain of the Undying Blade, I should still have the right to appoint someone to be my assistant."

"So, I plan to transfer you to the third team of the Immortal Blade and serve as a technician there. There you will meet a Valkyrie named Alvette. She is a very reliable person. I think you two will become good friends."

"..."

"What's wrong? If you don't want to, you can refuse."

Jiang Ming asked subconsciously as he looked at Susanna's silence, and Susanna hummed a negative tone in her throat and shook her head slightly before answering.

"Hmm~, it's just... I didn't do anything and suddenly got all of this, it's a bit... unreal, it's just like a dream, ah! Or rather... I seem to have really dreamed about this."

"Things that could only happen in dreams have all come true today... It feels... "

Having said this, Susanna stopped because she didn't know how to express her current feelings, so Jiang Ming answered for her.

"When you actually get these, you feel a little lost, right?"

"Uh-huh."

After Susanna answered hesitantly, Jiang Ming nodded slightly as if he understood, and then spoke in a slightly serious tone.

"I understand how you feel right now, but I let you into the Undying Blade not because you are so outstanding, nor because I pity you. It's just because I value you and I think you have unlimited possibilities in the future."

"So, don't judge whether you can do it or not, or whether you are qualified to do it. Now that you are here, just work hard instead of letting others look down on you. Do you understand?"

"Yeah! I...I'll work hard! I will definitely become a mature Valkyrie!!"

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."

At this point, Jiang Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although what he said just now was not false, it always felt like chicken soup for the soul, which made people feel a little contradictory.

After the two of them finished cleaning——

Susanna also discovered a problem, and after experiencing a series of events just now, Susanna seemed less restrained than before.

"Come to think of it...it seems that only Lord Jiang Ming is at the headquarters right now. Where are Lord Youlandel and Lady Rita?"

"Oh, they are doing a mission directly ordered by the bishop, and it's a very important one. I may have to go there later, but according to the plan, now is not the time for me to show up."

"That's it..."

"Well, take a good rest. I have already applied to the higher-ups. In two days, you will officially join the Immortal Blade. Of course, you can also choose to go back to the dormitory. The higher-ups should have prepared a room for you."

"Does Lord Jiang Ming live here?"

Although she knew the answer in her heart, Susanna couldn't help but ask. After all, some questions can only be answered correctly by the person himself. As expected, Jiang Ming shook his head.

"No, my home is at St. Freya Academy, and I spend most of my time there. However, they are currently holding a B-rank Valkyrie exam, and I also have a mission to complete here, so I may have to stay at the Sentient Headquarters for at least a week or two."

"That's true... B-class Valkyrie has the largest number of destiny. The judging of A-class may be easier than it was many years ago, but the strictness of B-class is definitely only getting higher."

"Ah, speaking of which, you are now a B-rank Valkyrie. If possible, could you explain this to me?"

"of course can!"

Faced with Jiang Ming's sudden request, Susanna nodded without any hesitation.

"Taking into account many factors, the Valkyrie may have to stay in one place for a few weeks during the B-rank assessment. The assessment will not be considered complete until all the Houkai incidents in that area are resolved and all the victims are rescued."

"This process is of course all about actual combat, and in the past month, major collapses have occurred all over the world. Excluding the ones that you, Lord Jiang Ming, and Lady Youlandel have solved, there are still quite a few remaining. I hope your classmates can all pass it smoothly."

After briefly explaining the B-level Valkyrie assessment, Susanna also gave her sincere blessings to Jiang Ming's classmates, and Jiang Ming nodded vigorously.

"Well, they will all pass successfully, for sure."

The reason why Jiang Ming was so confident was that he had already left a trump card for Kiana and Mei. If he released them all at once, it would only take a moment to destroy two ordinary emperor-level Honkai beasts.

The reason why he dared to be so bold was that Otto had now focused all his attention on the Second God's Key and naturally had no intention of paying attention to Kiana. Of course, a mere B-level assessment was not worth his attention.

What Jiang Ming didn't notice was that his entire conversation with Susanna, including the encouragement and invitation to Susanna to join the Immortal Blade, was overheard by the Valkyries outside the library, including Alvette.

Jiang Ming's reputation has been raised to a higher level without him noticing, which is another matter...
