"Bronya, where's Dust-kun?"
Class was about to begin, but Feng Chen still hadn't arrived at the gymnasium, which naturally worried Yae.
"Bronya hasn't seen Brother Feng Chen since noon. Let's wait a little longer, Sister Yae."
"But where's Kiana?"
It was one thing for Feng Chen not to have arrived at the gymnasium—perhaps he had gotten lost on his first day at St. Freya—but Kiana had no excuse!
"According to Bronya's analysis, Kiana is probably still sleeping in the dormitory."
"I'll go find her!"
Yae had just started running out of the gymnasium when someone pressed down on her shoulder.
"No need, Yae. I've already brought Kiana here."
It was Fu Hua who had stopped her. In her other hand, she was dragging a certain white-haired bundle.
Mm... She was still fast asleep. As expected of Kiana.
"That's good, but Class Monitor, Dust-kun still hasn't arrived..."
"You don't need to worry about that. I think I've already more or less guessed the reason."
If even Fu Hua could guess, then Bronya, the genius girl with an IQ of 180, could certainly guess too.
Yae was very perceptive, so of course she could guess. She simply didn't dare believe it.
"Kiana, wake up! Class is starting!"
The class bell had already rung, yet Feng Chen still hadn't arrived. Was that enough to prove their guess?
"All right, quiet down."
It was Theresa who entered. There was clearly someone else behind her, though that person had yet to come in.
"[The Control and Application of Honkai Energy] is a new course you'll be taking from now on. [Stigmata] can help keep you from being corrupted by Honkai Energy, but if we want to fight [Honkai], we need more than technology and Stigmata. We also need to borrow the power of [Honkai]."
