The training grounds of St. Freya Academy were quieter than usual, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows over the open space. You leaned against the railing, watching Susannah go through her drills with a focused determination that left you in quiet admiration.

Susannah, ever the diligent Valkyrie, twirled her lance with precision, the faint glow of Honkai energy lighting up the area as she completed a flawless sequence. Despite the intensity of her training, there was a grace to her movements, almost like she was dancing rather than fighting.

“Are you going to keep staring, or are you here to actually train with me?” Susannah’s voice snapped you out of your thoughts, and you realized she’d caught you watching.
