"Monster"

At the other end of the Academy.

Pop!

"Ow, ow, ow..."

As the bubble Dania had made with her Resonance Ability burst, Mo Hei clutched his head and sank to the ground.

The journey had been a little too much for him.

Inside Dania's bubble, he had felt like food being tossed in a wok. His head was still spinning.

And when that nightmarish ride ended, he had nearly landed flat on his back.

"There. We made it out in one piece."

Unlike Siglica and Mo Hei, who had stumbled out in a sorry state, Dania emerged from the bubble with something close to grace.

It was her own Resonance Ability, after all. Naturally, she knew how to use it.

Dania glanced at the sky, now glowing crimson, and spoke to Mo Hei, who still hadn't recovered.

"Somewhere I'd like to see... Hmm, yes!"

Mo Hei noticed that this learned upperclassman, so admired at the Academy, came alive whenever the subject turned to birds.

She had seemed perfectly happy to help when someone asked her about homework earlier, too, but
