I'm in Honkai Impact's Infinite Abyss!

["Memorial Arena" will select three enemies each week for the host to challenge. As long as the host defeats the opponent, they can earn points and rewards. Additional rewards will be settled based on the points ranking at the end of each week.]

[Enemies will be represented by difficulty levels ranging from C to SS. When the host defeats an enemy of a certain difficulty level, the Memorial Arena will automatically upgrade the enemy's level.]

[Upgraded enemies will significantly increase their abilities and may acquire skills not present in their previous levels.]

["This week's *strong enemy" will be merged into the "Memorial Arena" and will be displayed as "This week's *strong enemy." Enemies settled under this title will receive a +20% score bonus, and a new SSS difficulty challenge will also be opened.]

[Host, please actively challenge the bosses and earn rewards!]

Looking at the familiar rules, Luo Lin couldn't help but sigh. She had guessed that the system would definitely bring out the arena to compare her with the other mobile phone players.

In a sense, this was also anticipating the system's actions.

Luo Lin calmly introduced the new system to Himeko and Bianka. Himeko exclaimed, "Memorial Arena system... I've used it many times, but obviously not as fancy as what you have here."

Indeed, Himeko was considered a half-management personnel at Saint Freya, and they also had the Memorial Arena system in their educational equipment. It should be straightforward if she wanted to practice with it.

Things like the Memorial Arena system, which were obviously technology from the previous era, would undoubtedly cost a lot of money just to think about. Even the more remote branches of Schicksal probably didn't have such things...

And then Otto didn't hesitate to arrange it for Saint Freya.

He really spoiled Theresa too much.

Luo Lin opened the interface of the Memorial Arena, seeing the familiar scoreboard, with the virtual figures of three bosses standing in front of her.

At the bottom was the Assaka that Luo Lin and Himeko had just defeated, with a counter showing the enemy level at B - which meant they had worked hard to defeat a C-rated Assaka.

This was the level that any casual player could defeat with a few taps, even without switching to the main valkyrie, just using auxiliary valkyrie.

Luo Lin felt somewhat frustrated by this.

Himeko sighed, "Just look at the equipment we're using... The only high-tech thing I have is the Sunfire Greatsword, and I don't have anything else—let alone your two standard pistols..."

Even when Kiana first went out to fight the Herrschers, she had a set of White Comet armor on her.

Although it was joked by many players as "Don't practice, even if you do, it's just practicing in vain," it was actually quite an advanced armor—

[The White Comet is the third-generation Valkyrie armor, designed as a "versatile all-domain combat armor" that can only be used by Valkyries of B rank or higher.]

[Equipped with jet thrusters, military goggles, and various enhanced weapons, it is a basic armor suitable for most combat situations.]

[This armor can activate the Burst System, releasing the Honkai energy inside the power reactor at several times the original supply rate, significantly enhancing the armor's combat capabilities in a short period.]

Looking at themselves compared to Himeko, even defeating a weakened version of Assaka in a flesh-and-blood state... If it were outside, it might cause a lot of exclamations.

But Himeko only complained a bit. After all, when she first joined Schicksal, the Research Department had not yet developed universal Valkyrie armor—back then, Valkyries only wore suits designed to resist Honkai corrosion, and they fought as they were...

"It will come, eventually we will have armor and weapons..."

Luo Lin looked at the crystal in her pocket, wiping away a tear of bitterness in her heart, and looked up.

[Annihilation Spirit]

Luo Lin's expression sank. This thing seemed to require breaking through shields to deal high damage. Her pistols were out of the question, and grenades were probably usable, but not very effective.

She would probably have to rely on Himeko for damage output.

Luo Lin continued to look up, the blue and white armor contrasting with the golden color, the tempting orange bonus point symbol proving her enemy's identity—

[This week's *Boss enemy: Bright Knight Excelsis (Score +20%)]

Oh, Excelsis...!?

Himeko's mouth widened in surprise. She glanced at the small Bianka lying on Luo Lin's shoulder, then looked at the confident and heroic blonde Valkyrie on the thumbnail.

——I can't tell the difference even after Bianka grows up.

Luo Lin? Luo Lin didn't dare to say anything, didn't dare to ask anything.

Bianka didn't know who this was, just marveling at the heroic blonde Valkyrie in front of her, thinking she wanted to be as cool as her when she grew up.

[So this is you when you grow up.]

Luo Lin and Himeko internally commented.

Himeko became interested. Since she chose to leave the Schicksal headquarters and become Theresa's teacher at the Far East Branch, she hadn't seen much of Bianka. Interaction like this was even more impossible.

She only knew that Bianka Ataegina chose to become a Valkyrie, and later even got the unique code name "Durandal," becoming an S-rank rising star in Schicksal.

Later, Himeko only met Durandal a few times at the briefing meetings held at Schicksal headquarters, the girl who had grown up smiled and nodded, and the two exchanged a few words before parting ways.

"Luo Lin, click on this enemy and let's test its strength!"

Himeko's curiosity was aroused after a long absence. She wanted to know what the strongest S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal would be like in this simulated space.

Luo Lin was curious too. She reached out and tapped on the Bright Knight, Excelsis—

With the familiar countdown and alarm, the blue and golden light shimmered in the sky, then slammed heavily onto the ground!

The golden-haired female knight was surrounded by bright blue particles, like a dream.

Bianka Durandal Ataegina, wearing the fourth-generation Valkyrie Godsbane armor, Excelsis, held the sharp spear, Helel, firmly in one hand, her face determined as she looked at her opponent.

"So powerful!"

Himeko adjusted her posture. She took a deep breath and aimed her Sunfire Greatsword at Durandal.

Not attacking first? Then I'll attack first!

Himeko moved forward, shouting to her companion, "Luo Lin!"

"Got it!"

In the next moment, Luo Lin pulled the trigger, and the bullets from her pistols shot towards the Bright Knight—

"Manifest! Sacred Spirit Shield!"

The semi-transparent blue shield turned from virtual to real, easily deflecting the special bullets that could injure Herrschers, as Durandal adopted a defensive stance, aiming her spear at Luo Lin.

Ha! Starting with ranged attacks, huh?!

In the next moment, the Bright Knight turned into a stream of light, and Himeko tried to intercept with her sword, but was deflected by the floating shield.

Luo Lin was used to being targeted by enemies. She retreated on the spot, leaving behind flash grenades and grenades...

Then she saw Durandal directly take the thrown objects, and Luo Lin even saw her spear trembling slightly, but in the end, she accurately thrust her spear into Luo Lin's body.

With a spin of Eternal Silence, Luo Lin was out of the arena to watch the battle.

"Cool, that throwing technique!" Luo Lin rubbed her stomach and muttered.

Next was Himeko's one-on-one with Durandal. Both used large weapons, but they wielded their greatsword and spear with a light feeling. Only the dull clangs when the weapons collided proved that they were not made of lightweight plastic.

"Heh, a bit of skill..."

The actions of the Bright Knight, Excelsis, were sharp and proficient, suppressing Himeko to the point where she couldn't take the initiative to attack. Combined with the elusive floating shield, even if Himeko found an opportunity to strike, she returned empty-handed.

"You don't want to go all out yet?"

Hearing this, Himeko couldn't hold back.

Although she had good skills, the important thing was that she hadn't brought her Valkyrie armor here at all, so if she could show two or three points of her true strength even without it, it proved that Himeko was quite talented!

In the end, after blocking Himeko's attack with her shield, the Bright Knight stepped back, jumped, her arm raised, her body tense, like a bow, her spear was thrown out fiercely, nailing Himeko to the ground.

"Mission accomplished, time to move on to the next location."

Himeko also appeared next to Luo Lin in a somewhat embarrassed manner, but there was an unmistakable smile on her face.

"You've grown quite well... Bianka..."

"Teacher Himeko, are you calling me?"

"No, no..."

Bianka nodded in confusion, looking at the still-standing female knight in the middle of the field, slightly puzzled:

"Just why did she shout those things during the fight? Is it that kind of... adolescent delusion?"

"..."

Himeko rolled her eyes helplessly, while Luo Lin pinched her thigh hard to keep from laughing.

Bianka gave a sharp comment of her own adolescent delusions after growing up!
