"You're a useless child."

"You've always been a useless child."

"Without me, you would already have been dead."

". . . I am a useless child. . ."

"Soren?"

Otto's words snapped him out of his stupor, before turning to look at the blonde man, who was behind him in the doorway.

"Yes? What is it?" He asked.

"We have arrived. Come on now."

"I shall be on my way," he responded, standing up and following Otto closely behind. The steps that would lead down to the black and white chequred rooftop appeared before Otto, and the two soon stepped down, and what laid before the boy's eyes was. . . Exactly what he thought of a typical school for Valkyries.

St. Freya Academy, the famous school of the East, with girls trained specifically to become Valkyries, and only girls, as of the second Soren stepped out of the airship. The academy was less of a school, but more of a castle, with the typical castle structures with the pointy tipped towers, large size, unknown, but likely large amounts of land to build on. . . And it even uses a lake as a 'moat' to complete the aesthetic design of a medieval castle.

"Overseer Otto, this school is truly an impressive sight to beho--"

"Grandpa!"

The statement made Soren instinctively flinched and raised his arms in defense of an unknown force, while Otto smiled, knowing the source of the voice. Following the call out was a little girl with white hair and blue eyes in a habit running towards Otto. She looked ecstatic to see the blonde man, before stopping just a couple of feet away from the man.

"Hello, my dear Theresa. How is it with the teaching and all?"

"It's going well. The number of new students was twice more than last year, too!"

"That's great."

Theresa soon noticed the other white haired within the group of three they were in, and seeing him in the priest getup made her suspicious.

"Who is he, a hired mercenary?" She asked.

"Ah. Priest, come here."

The boy, after staring off into the distance of all the skyscrapers, apartments, typical of a city and whatnot, heard the man calling him out, and proceeded to walk towards the two.

"Theresa, meet Soren. Soren, meet my granddaughter, Theresa," Otto introduced the two, and the two stared at each other for a few seconds before they both said the very same thing at the same time, albeit in entirely different languages.

"Hajimemashite, Soren-san." - Theresa

"schön dich zu treffen, Theresa." - Soren

"Nice to meet you." - Translated

". . . . ."

". . . . ."

'He's German.'

'She does not understand German, Overseer lied to me.'

The fact that Soren wasn't disappointed on the fact that Otto lied to him about Theresa looking forward to meeting him, but rather disappointed that he most likely had to speak another language in another country, made the situation awkwardly funny, as seen when Otto let out a chuckle.

"Surely, you two can speak English now, can you?" He suggested. They all looked at each other, before simultaneously nodding.

"A pleasure to meet you, Soren."
