Tomorrow Taking a Day Off

"Since I can't get in touch with Kiana, I'll contact Himeko instead. She happens to be at the academy today." (?ì_í?)

After saying that, Theresa began contacting Himeko.

The call connected quickly. The moment it did, Theresa asked Himeko on the other end:

"Himeko, how are things over there?" (?ì_í?)

"Uh... things are more or less normal on my end." (.???)?

Himeko's expression looked somewhat strange, but Theresa did not notice it at the time.

"Phew... that's good."

Theresa let out a sigh of relief, then continued:

"Himeko, you detected it over there too, right? We discovered a powerful Honkai Energy reaction erupting within the academy. We estimate that a Herrscher has been born. Please help me find out who exactly became a Herrscher." (?ì_í?)

Although, logically speaking, if it was a Herrscher from the academy, there should not be much of a problem, it was still necessary to confirm it.

"Uh... Theresa, can't you contact that Herrscher directly in your mind? You should be able to contact them mentally right now, shouldn't you?" (?-_-)??

Rather than agreeing outright, Himeko threw a question back at Theresa.

Theresa froze for a moment before realizing. "Ah, right, I can contact them directly." (*???)!!

Only then did Theresa remember that she had this ability.

She had not used it for so long that she had nearly forgotten it herself.

Theresa then entered her mind and discovered that, sure enough, the number of Herrschers she could contact had increased by one.

In Theresa's consciousness, the Herrscher Cores connected to Kiana and Sirin were half white and half purple, wrapped in a ring of golden light.

Raiden Mei's Herrscher Core was purple, crackling with red lightning.

Bronya's was a blue Herrscher Core, with a golden gear visible at its center.

Wendy's Herrscher Core was green
