What was a difficult skill for others was not so hard for Miyuki Shiba and her two companions to master. In just one afternoon, the three of them had already learned the technique. Of course, they were still far from having mastered it completely with precision.

"Alright, that's all I can teach you. The rest is up to you to discover on your own. But with your abilities, you should be able to find the method that suits you best very quickly." Yunyi said to the three of them with a smile at the end of the lesson.

"Hmm? Is that all?" Honoka Mitsui, somewhat puzzled. She felt that Yunyi, who was able to propose such a theory, shouldn't only have this one technology.

"Of course, that's not all, but Honoka, the rest is a secret to me." Yunyi smiled at Honoka Mitsui. But that smile sent a chill down the spines of the three people looking at him.

After Yunyi left, Tatsuya Shiba came over. He keenly sensed that something seemed off about his younger sister, so he asked, " Miyuki, what happened?"

"Nothing, I was just a little scared," said Miyuki Shiba.

"Oh?" Tatsuya Shiba asked with some doubt, "Did Yunyi say something again?"

I guess so.

Miyuki Shiba repeated what Yunyi had said when he left.

"Is that all?" Tatsuya Shiba, puzzled.

In his view, it should already be common knowledge that Yunyi has a secret, but now Miyuki Shiba and the others are clearly frightened.

"It was Honoka. She asked if she could continue learning other things." After a moment of hesitation, Miyuki Shiba briefly recounted what had just happened.

" Honoka."

"Exist!"

Upon hearing Tatsuya Shiba call her name, Honoka Mitsui quickly responded.

" Honoka, Yunyi's attitude just now, or rather, his attitude towards you, shouldn't be considered a warning. He does indeed harbor many secrets, but those shouldn't be things you explore. If he's willing to share them, there's nothing wrong with you trying them out. But if you want to continue investigating, then you're crossing his bottom line."

"If you want Yunyi to share those hidden secrets, you need to be at least of the same status as President Saegusa. Honoka, do you understand?" Tatsuya Shiba said solemnly.

"Yes, I understand," Honoka Mitsui replied.

"Sorry Tatsuya, and Miyuki and Shizuku too. I got a little too excited and that's why I messed things up."

Honoka Mitsui seemed a little downcast; her abrupt question just now was indeed somewhat impolite.

"It's nothing, Honoka. We didn't take it to heart. Right, Miyuki?" Shizuku Kitayama said.

"Yes, Shizuku is right, don't take it to heart Honoka." Miyuki Shiba also spoke up to comfort Honoka Mitsui.

After the conversation ended, Tatsuya Shiba and the others left the Technical Building. Miyuki Shiba still had work in the Student Council, and Tatsuya had to go to the Public Morals Committee, so the group went their separate ways.

When Miyuki Shiba entered the Student Council room, the first thing she saw was Yunyi, who was taking a nap on Mayumi Saegusa's desk.

Mayumi Saegusa, who was sitting with Azusa Nakajo doing a work handover, greeted her with a light laugh when she saw her arrive.

"Is it alright for the president to let Yunyi just sleep there like that?" Miyuki Shiba asked doubtfully.

"Hmm? It's alright, Miyuki. You don't need to worry about him. Mayumi Saegusa replied.

Miyuki Shiba pursed her lips. What she really wanted to say was, "Don't you need to cover him up?" After all, it was still summer, and the air conditioning in the Student Council room was quite strong.

However, their conversation woke Yunyi, who rubbed his eyes and looked at Mayumi Saegusa and the others, saying, "Finished? Can we go now?"

"I'm sorry, Yunyi-kun, it will take a little more time. If you're really tired, you can go back first. I can go home by myself," said Mayumi Saegusa.

Yunyi waved his hand dismissively, then lay down again under the watchful eyes of the three.

Mayumi Saegusa and the others exchanged glances, and could only shrug helplessly in the end. However, in the time that followed, they kept their voices down, whether they were doing things or talking, so as not to wake Yunyi up.

However, while Yunyi was catching up on sleep, on the other side of the distant ocean, the undercurrents were already surging fiercely!

"Commander, the order to launch the attack has been issued. Please proceed to the operations room immediately to review the mission details."

The voice coming from the communicator made Angelina, who was curled up in bed, jump up immediately. She quickly put on her combat suit and rushed to the operations room at STARS base.

As soon as she entered, Lina saw Colonel Virginia Barans and several other STARS members who were already waiting for her.

"Colonel!"

Lina gave Virginia a military salute. After Vaginia returned the salute, she immediately conveyed the mission's objectives and requirements to her.

Upon seeing the information displayed on the terminal, Lina's brow furrowed slightly. Much of this information was what she had learned while helping Yunyi investigate. Now, this material had become one of her tasks. Did that mean what Yunyi had told her back then was true? Then...

Major Sirius!

Virginia called out three times before Lina was brought back from her reverie.

" Major Sirius, do you have any questions about this mission?" Virginia asked.

"No! I'm just a little surprised, I have no questions," Lina replied.

"Very well, from this moment on, Major Sirius Angie Hillius will commence the pursuit mission! In the event of unforeseen circumstances, the target may be eliminated on the spot. Over!"

"Yes!"

After leaving the operations room, Lina finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at the terminal in her hand again, pondered for a moment, and then walked towards her room.

She still had some doubts about Yunyi's accurate prediction. She even began to wonder if Yunyi had used some special means to plant spies in the military during his years in the America.

But upon closer inspection, something seems amiss. After all, these matters have only just come to light, so how did Yunyi know about them beforehand? Could it be that the military really has intelligence restrictions on her?

Thinking about this, Lina began to have doubts about the military for the first time.

"Should we inform Walker about these things...?"
