"A table for four please." The woman with gray hair and green eyes smiled and another cat girl with brown hair, ears, and tail nodded.
"We want a table beside them." The woman with crimson colored hair said, pointing at our table. The woman seemed to be Himeko based on the data Saito sent me on my phone.
"Right this way!" The cat girl smiled and led them to a table beside our table.
I looked at them and Saito scanned the four of them. Her eye beeped and Orishi looked at Saito. Saito blinked and looked at her cup of juice.
"Saito scanned their Power Levels...They are as strong as Headmaster Yusa. I don't think Unit 54170 can take them." Saito said.
"Is Saito unstable or something? She did the same thing last night. She stopped talking in second and third person then switched to first person." I looked at Orishi.
"Saito has two minds, her human mind and her cyber mind. She mainly uses her cyber mind because of the multiple data based abilities she has such as Instant Learning and Hyper Mind." Orishi said. "It's complicated, but you'll get used to it soon."
I looked at the four women who were looking through their menus. Miki came back with our food and set then down one by one.
"I hope you enjoy! If you need anything, you can just call me over and I'll be here to assist!" Miki smiled then skipped away.
I listened on the conversation Himeko and the others were having beside us.
"So when do you think Yoshida is coming back from the Monster Realm? If...he's ever coming back." The woman with pink hair and pink eyes said. Her hair was styled in two low ponytails and she looked at Naora who was the one with the gray hair.
"He's coming back...by the time he gets back, I'm sure everything will be resolved and we can live happily once again. The monsters went back to their realm to assist Yoshida so yeah, I'm more than sure that Yoshida would be able to destroy the hierarchy with their help." Naora said.
"That's nice to know, in the meantime...what are we going to do about the Demon Order and Judgement? Both commanders are pretty stacked." Himeko said. "Not even with the enhancements I have on my battlesuit are enough...those Elemental Mages and Beasts are stupid strong."
"How about we ask our friends beside us." The woman with white hair suggested then put down her menu.
"Fuck off, Ochiyo." Orishi said.
"Come now...We aren't your enemies." Ochiyo said then looked at Orishi.
"Come on. We didn't come here to fight the Valkyrias. We didn't even know they were going to be here. Let's all just settle down." Naora said.
"At least one of you has a good head on your shoulders." Orishi said. "What do you asshats want?"
"We heard that your newest Valkyria used to be a part of Judgement. Someone from our team researched the girl, sunken in her seat. Hisumi is the name?" Ochiyo asked.
"Yeah.." I hesitantly answered.
"What do you know about the Beasts from Judgement and are there anyways to beat the Elemental Beasts?" Ochiyo asked. "These beasts seem to absorb Anti-Energy as well and we aren't able to break their walls."
I looked at Orishi and she closed her eyes, sipping on her juice. I looked back at the four women. "Sorry, I don't know how to beat them myself..."
"Don't let your captain intimidate you from answering. Like Ochiyo said, we aren't your enemy. We have a common enemy." Himeko said.
"So does the Demon Order, yet they still tried to kill us. I don't see a reason to trust you." I answered.
"We aren't the Demon Order. Midnight Corps doesn't want any trouble with the Valkyrias. You have my word." Himeko said.
Saito and I looked at each other then looked at Himeko and the others. I looked down a bit then looked back at Himeko and the others.
"Well...to beat them you need Energy Erasure. Their ability is they are resistant against the Elements, but they are also resistant to energy based attacks also. Combine that with high physical defenses and pure strength, you've got yourself an undefeatable force." I explained. "But that's as much as I honestly know. We've ran into them just two days ago so we don't know much about them."
"I see...well thanks for informing us." Himeko nodded.
"Why did you tell them?" Saito asked.
"What? They aren't a threat and they seem genuine. They are scary I'll admit that, but...I know they won't hurt us." I said. "Maybe they were just overreacting a bit."
"To you, but the World Mark knows that these clowns tried to take us down before. I refuse to cooperate with people who don't understand the greater good." Orishi set down her cup.
"Greater good? We defended this planet from targets way stronger than Judgement could ever be. We stopped a monster who's twice the power of these Fell Beasts." Himeko said.
"And yet you can't stop the Elemental Beasts and a couple of magicians? Bullshit. You saw us as bigger threats because Yusa could solo you all. Don't forget, we were all teenagers at that time and Yusa was the most powerful out of all of us including Saito." Orishi said. "Your UPF organization put a stick in out plans to destroy Judgement before things got bad. And even then your Yahoma situation made things even worse for us Valkyrias."
"Well excuse us for having to deal with monsters that had the ability to control Primordial Elements and had the power to drain all life using Void Magic and shit." Ochiyo said.
"Ladies!" Naora and I said at the same time.
I sighed and looked at Orishi. "What happened back then? Why are the A Rankers scared of them? Why do you hate them?"
"Himeko and I always butted heads when we were kids, but she decided to turn against me. Betray my trust and side with an organization that went against the Rulers. A Generation ago there was this battle between the Third Generation Rulers and Earth because the Universal Protection Force decided to destroy a historic monument. The statue of the Sovereigns of Creation and Destruction. They said that people who praised them were stupid and there were no such thing as Sovereigns." Orishi said.
"We were stupid fourteen years olds. It's been twenty years. Can you let it go?" Naora asked. "We don't want any trouble with you, World Mark, the Valkyrias and whatever other forces you're a part of."
"Yet you still chose to side with the one woman who leads an organization set on destroying the Divine Weapons and Keys of Sovereigns. Her entire goal is to destroy history so she can rebuild it with her face plastered at the top." Orishi rolled her eyes.
"You let these myths and legends rule your life. The OTF and UPF had to do what we had to do. These Rulers and whatever else that existed were ruining people's lives. We had to stop it the best we could, but in the end we ended up losing of course." Naora crossed her arms.
"Yeah and the monsters didn't ruin your lives and the lives of much more than the Overlords did. There was one monster killing people just to kill. An entire city! Gone!" Orishi groaned then looked away.
"Bachiko...yeah she was pretty bad, but she's been tamed. But we shouldn't dwell on the past anymore. We've got bigger fish to fry. We are willing to work with you to stop them." Ochiyo said.
"I still don't understand why these four are feared." I said.
"They are scared of Naora over there. She's got energy that an ordinary person shouldn't be able to wield. It's called Arjé Energy and it's supposedly comes from the Original Monster. The energy can wield any form of energy it pleases and even can make it into a stronger version. If she is ever to use the energy, it can be fatal. Even Yusa wishes we be careful around her." Orishi answered. "Check please!"
"Coming right up!" Miki smiled.
"We're done here. We've got our data, no need in entertaining them any longer." Orishi said then watched as Miki hopped over to them, handing Orishi the check and she paid for it. "Let's go ladies."
"One more thing." Himeko said.
"What?" Orishi asked.
"Better bring your A Game Monday. St. Hoya Academy against St. Fraskia Academy. Yan Mei has been waiting to take you all on." Himeko chuckled softly.
Orishi scoffed and stood up then walked off. The rest of us followed suit. I looked at Orishi then grabbed her arm. She looked at me and sighed. "Sorry about that...I just really don't like them or Midnight Corps. They are planning something bigger than the downfall of Judgement."
"I don't get that same feeling from those women though. It seems like they are only in it because they need to waste time." I said.
"Unlikely, but let's go with that." Orishi said. "We need to head back so I can report."
"Alright." I said then let her arm go. I looked back at the cafe then hurried behind them to the train station to go back on campus.
When we got back on campus, everyone parted ways to do their own thing for the rest of the day. I decided to go into the academy and go see Yusa.
Yusa worked on some paperwork in her office and heard a knock on the door. "Come in!" She called out.
I walked inside and closed the door. "Yusa can I ask you something?"
"Hey to you too, Hisumi." Yusa said then looked at me from her computer. "What's on your mind?"
"St. Hoya Academy. What's it like?" I asked.
"It's our rival academy. The academy has powerful fighters who actually can pose a threat to us. The Headmaster happens to be someone I know from college a few years back. She's a retired Valkyria...that's what she liked to call herself, but she actually quit being a Valkyria. Why do you want to know?" Yusa asked.
"I'm thinking about joining the School Battle. I want to get the full academy experience." I said.
Yusa smiled at me then stood up. "Alright, I'll talk to Orishi about it."
I nodded and smiled. "Okay. Thank you." I said then hurried off.
Yusa chuckled softly then heard her computer chime. "Hmm..? A new report?" She walked over to her computer then clicked on the report from Orishi. She looked serious then sighed softly. She sat down and contemplated on what she should do.
