Chapter II, titled Voice in the Dreams, is a Story pertaining to the mainline narrative, specifically Part 1.

It happens mostly on the grounds of St. Freya High. Himeko makes in-person appearance and the school's principal, Theresa, is introduced alongside Fu Hua the class president. An individual named Otto, said to be Schicksal Overseer, has Rita Rossweisse visit the school and inspect the Selene which is still stationed at the school. Mei and Bronya are present too as one could expect.

Cecilia Schariac and Siegfried Kaslana are revealed to be the names of Kiana's parents while Kiana herself is addressed for the first time as subject "K-423", a name that will gain importance later. The 2nd Herrscher, Sirin, appears in Kiana's dreams. Sapphire and the 3rd Herrscher also get a single mention.

It was first redone in Version 2.6 and later once again in Version 5.8.

Short Summary[]

Kiana's worst nightmare, Valkyrie Examination, is approaching fast. If she fails the examination, her Valkyrie rank will go down and her dream of becoming A-rank will be potentially crushed forever. With the help of her two old friends as well as a new one, the class monitor Fu Hua, Kiana studies hard during the day and everything seems to go smoothly. Even Himeko is personally trying to help her worst student avoid demotion. Yet, in her dreams, she meets an entity who claims to be a Herrscher of the Void - the world's worst enemy who's supposed to have died many years ago...

After arriving at St. Freya High, located in Far East, Bronya is admitted to a health center and Selene undergoes an inspection. Energy from its power drives are blamed for Bronya's chip going out of control. As the repairs on the ship start, the St. Freya students prepare for the yearly Valkyrie Exam.

Some time afterwards, Rita contacts Theresa - the school's principal. Otto, the Schicksal Overseer, has received the Schicksal's Far East Branch's report on the Selene and wants Rita, his agent, to verify some details in-person and to attend this year's exams. After the short yet somewhat stressful talk, Theresa decides to beat some practice enemies using Judah, a cross-shaped Divine Key.

Two days before the exam, Theresa finds Kiana who's reminded of the exams. As one of the worst-performing students, Kiana's meant to receive help from her teacher Himeko. Hoping to motivate her niece a bit, Theresa reminds her of their promise - once Kiana becomes an A-Rank Valkyrie, Theresa will share the whereabouts of Kiana's father, who seems to have been missing for a while. Himeko however delegated the task of teaching Kiana to Fu Hua, the class monitor, whom Kiana's not fond of due to her strictness. After completing a combat simulation Kiana receives the lowest rating possible from Fu Hua who points out Kiana's no-thought/brute-force ways but guarantees to help her improve.

Himeko is giving remedials that Kiana so much needs, yet finds the latter still sleeping after classes are over. Kiana subconsequently fails to convince Himeko that she'll study on her own and is dragged against her will by Fu Hua to new training grounds. Having disappointed yet another person today by not paying any attention to enemy types and almost breaking the training device, Kiana's dragged yet again to a different training ground where Fu Hua gives her more practical lessons. Thanks to those, Kiana warms up to Fu Hua and realizes she can't slack so much if she wants to be A-rank Valkyrie.

A mysterious figure visits Kiana in her dream that night, taunting her for being an orphan that was abandoned by her father, who doesn't even know how her mother looks like. That clearly isn't the only information about Kiana's past the mysterious figure holds as she's willing to share Kiana's parents' whereabouts if Kiana catches up to her within the dreamland.

Various enemies block Kiana's path but she manages to reach the entity again. In exchange for taking a part in the hide-and-seek game, Kiana's told that her mother, Cecilia Schariac, participated in the battle against the 2nd Herrscher 14 years ago and that her father, Siegfried Kaslana, was there as well. Previously unaware that her mother was even a Valkyrie just like she is, Kiana's more than eager to ask more questions, but the dream ends as the sun comes into the horizon.

The next day, Kiana finds Bronya in the library instead of the hospital. Turns out, Bronya had hacked into the hospital's databases and discharged herself without anyone else's approval. Fully-prepared to play some games, Kiana baits Bronya into a match of HOMU-HOMU Adventure. Their gaming session is interrupted by Mei who noticed Kiana wasn't in the dorm as no one tried to steal Mei's homemade food as usual. She nags Kiana to stop playing and continue on with her training, least she gets demoted from B-rank straight to D-rank and will only be allowed to do logistics duty - a prospect that can only be described as horrific to Kiana.

To everyone's surprise, Kiana heads to training plaza where she first meets Mei and Fu Hua. Fu Hua tries to inquire about Mei's injures but is stopped by Kiana who doesn't like anyone poking nose into affairs of her beloved dormmate. The three then train on their own.

Himeko arrives at the plaza and finds Kiana earnestly train her combat skills. After failing to hold back her astonishment, she asks Kiana about Bronya's well-being. Himeko suspects it wasn't the battleship's fault that Bronya was hurt but doesn't want to continue the discussion once Kiana brings up the possibility of Bronya being controlled as if she was a game character. Theresa joins Himeko and reprimands her for the apparent overuse of alcohol that could set a bad example for the students. Theresa notices Kiana and her shocked face is almost enough to make Kiana leave as she had enough of being told she's a bad student. Using the rare occasion, Himeko teaches Kiana about protecting mission objectives to make her stay.

The mysterious entity visits Kiana in her dream once more, belittling and bullying her using illussions of Mei, Himeko, and Theresa. She compares Kiana and Mei to ticking time bombs, even thought it is supposedly only Mei who has a Herrscher inside of her. However, Kiana pays no attention to that difference and only gets angry because Mei was insulted.

During the process of chasing after and defeating the illusions, Kiana learns that her mother died as she was unable to beat the 2nd Herrscher, as she didn't fully recover from giving birth, and Schicksal launched powerful missiles that killed both of them. Still waving lies and truth together, the entity tells Kiana that her father could hardly cope with the loss and that he blamed his daughter for it. Before the morning arrives and the dream ends, Kiana's offered immerse power and recognition if only she joins forces with the entity. Kiana kindly denies the offer.

The highly-anticipated Valkyrie Examination commences. Theresa goes over the rules and tells everyone to get into positions. Kiana and Mei are paired together and discuss Kiana's evident bad mood before battle starts. Kiana talks about her dreams, although she's not able to recall them clearly. To cheer Kiana up, Mei promises to cook for Kiana afterwards. The first round starts and the two have to cooperate and defeat multiple waves of enemies.

For round two, Kiana is challenging Bronya solo. The girls have a friendly squabble and start their sparring high in spirits. Kiana wins by a huge mile and Bronya admits that maybe she hasn't recovered fully.

Round three has Kiana spar with none other than the best student, Fu Hua. Kiana's uncomfortable facing Fu Hua and so the latter attempts to share words of wisdom to bring focus back to the exam. She also lets out that she admires Kiana and is glad to spar with her, which in turn perks Kiana up a bit. Unlike round two, round three is focused on survival as Fu Hua is unlikely to be defeated.

Overall, the three rounds are completed with no issues.

Theresa introduces Rita to everyone before they go on a break. While she's admired by the students, Rita states that she's impressed by their efforts and wishes to spar with one of them. She ends up picking Kiana Kaslana and the surname piques her interest. Theresa, for yet to be specified reasons, tries to hide Kiana's ties to House Kaslana by saying she's unrelated to them.

Kiana and Rita start their speedrun competition where the Valkyrie that kills the most enemies wins. Kiana's cheered on by her friends but Rita still ends up winning. Rita compliments Kiana nonetheless, and leaves once recees starts.

Following the short break, all examined students take turns in using a sync device that'll spawn a matching opponent for them to take on. The device malfunctions once it's Kiana's turn and spawns a simulated module of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, Ganesha, which is defeated with the help from Mei and Bronya. Following the fight, Rita compliments Kiana again and the girls are dismissed by Himeko.

On their way back, the tired Kiana is following Mei and Bronya as they talk about what happened with the device until her surrounding changes completely and causes her to stop. Mei and Bronya are nowhere to be seen.

Kiana's confronted by the same entity that's been haunting her dreams, who's quite impressed that Ganesha was defeated given that it killed and injured multiple Valkyries during its first appearance. The entity reveals that she fought Cecilia these 14 years ago and Kiana surmises she must be the 2nd Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void. Intend on taking revenge for her mom's death, Kiana gives chase. In the course of her pursuit, Kiana passes by many tanks occupied by girls that look similar to her, some of which break free and attack her.

Once no more obstacles stand in her way, Kiana engages the Herrscher in combat, but their battle is cut short as Kiana suddenly wakes up from the dream. She's now on the Selene, held by Mei with Fu Hua, Theresa, and Rita standing nearby. She sleepwalked onto the ship and energy from its engines is blamed for this event as well.

Having confirmed Kiana's safety, Rita excuses herself as her mission is over. Mei helps Kiana walk back to the school as Rita watches from the distance. Unbeknownst to them, Rita had a secret objective related specifically to Kiana, or K-423 as she calls her, and everything that happened today seems to be part of the plan that she and Otto are deeply involved in.

Speculations[]

Speculations Ahead, Let's Talk Them Out
"Speculations" on this wiki refers to commentary or theories that seem plausible enough, but lack outright official confirmation.
As this content might be questioned by the community, information from this section shouldn't be quoted or referenced as if it was factual on other pages and, when referenced, it should be placed under a Speculations header there as well.
  • According to newer instances, especially the Second Eruption Manga, the 2nd eruption happened in 2000 which was 16 years ago, not 14. While the chapter's old, it has been touched-up as recently as in 2022 which is more than 3 years since the Reburn update. Here's some theories as to why that could be the case:
    • The dates were correct at some point but MiHoYo couldn't be bothered to update so much text at once and left the incorrect dates in.
    • The dates were never correct at any point but MiHoYo couldn't be bothered to update so much text at once and left the incorrect dates in.
    • Herrscher of the Void has a twisted perception of time and honestly believes it's been only 14 years since the 2nd Herrscher's death.
    • Unbeknownst to all except the Herrscher of the Void, the 2nd eruption actually lasted for 2 entire years.
    • Herrscher of the Void is purposefully misleading Kiana. She knows no one will directly answer Kiana's questions and feeds her misinformation she can't confirm the validity of.
