In the end, Chidori Kaname still invited several friends to come with her, though she did not tell them the whole truth. Instead, she told them that she had joined a research project for certain reasons and could invite others to participate. Anyone who joined the project would later receive an admission letter from any university of their choice, along with a full scholarship.
Once Kaname put it that way, few of the people she invited had any objections. She invited Tokiwa Kyoko, Kudo Shiori, Inaba Mizuki, Mikihara Ren, as well as Onodera and Kazama Shinji. Aside from Mikihara Ren and Inaba Mizuki, the others basically agreed to Chidori Kaname's invitation willingly while trembling all over.
After Kaname had made her decision, Xiao Ran had Tessa use Mithril's connections to make arrangements. Through the proper procedures, a relatively well-known school sent an invitation to Jindai High School. It was only a minor matter, but at least it provided a legitimate excuse.
However, on the morning after the trip ended, no one besides Chidori Kaname and Sousuke Sagara could leave with them for the time being. Due to family and personal reasons, the others needed to return and settle their affairs before joining them. Still, that was not a problem. Xiao Ran arranged for Yin to bring everyone into space at the agreed time.
Having only just arrived on Earth, Xiao Ran had no intention of returning to space yet. He merely had people send Kaname and Sousuke Sagara back into space. All that remained was to notify Mwu and have her make the arrangements.
The first step of Kaname's matter had been dealt with. What remained depended on how much effect Master and Ingram's teachings could have. After some time, Sheryl and Valkyrie would also need to return to space
