"What did you discuss with Ruan Mei?"
After returning to the Master Control Zone with Ruan Mei and parting ways, Lumina was immediately intercepted by Herta Puppets stationed throughout the Space Station.
Observing Lumina's radiant smile after her conversation with Ruan Mei, Herta crossed her arms and posed the question.
Instead of answering Herta's question, Lumina looked the Herta Puppet up and down and asked, "Herta, you have so many puppets. Could you give me one?"

"Hmm... So this is the [Emanator] you created?" Lumina asked, gazing up at the massive incubator suspended high above the sprawling chamber in the Containment Zone of Herta Space Station.
"Yes," Ruan Mei replied, her arms crossed as she casually picked up a document lying nearby. She shook her head and said in a flat tone, "But... this creation can hardly be considered an [Emanator]. Its power falls far short of what an [Emanator] should possess."
"According to my calculations, on...

"Miss Lumina, you're being too modest. Your status far surpasses that of any Genius Society member."
"Is that so?" Lumina chuckled softly at Ruan Mei's words, offering no further comment.
Lumina was well aware of her own standing and chose neither to affirm nor deny the statement. In her eyes, the question of hierarchical status between individuals was irrelevant.
Anyone who contributed to the advancement of the Cosmos and its life forms deserved respect. There was no notion...

Fairy Tristan was astonished that Jiang You, a man she had never met before, could speak to Morgan in such a way. She realized she likely couldn't harm him without incurring her mother's wrath. Yet even so, she desperately wanted to help Beryl.
"Next is Blessed Heir! This card allows me to Special Summon a Fairy Knight from the Graveyard! The servant summoned by this card gains 500 Attack Power!"
This card likely corresponded to the story of Morgan finding Fairy ...

It's truly remarkable how Morgan managed to warp a fairy who had been a pushover in previous lives into this current state. She's reduced the options to either slaughter or be slaughtered—what a binary mindset.
While this fellow's true nature leaves much to be desired, collecting shoes that still have feet attached... let's just hope fairies don't get athlete's foot.

Fairy Tristan scrutinized Jiang You. For the knights outside to have let him in, he must be ...

"You actually managed to come here."
Morgan indeed needed someone to watch over Fairy Tristan; she couldn't trust almost any fairy in the Faerie Realm. As Jiang You suggested, there was no harm in trying. She accepted the Blank Card he offered as a catalyst and attempted the summoning ritual. Once again, Jiang You successfully unlocked a new Script.
"To be honest, I'm quite surprised myself."
Jiang You's surprise stemmed from the sheer scale of the collaboration. It felt as ...

"Kill Beryl?"
Fairy Tristan never dreamed her mother, Morgan, would utter that name. Beryl was one of the only two people she truly cared for, and he had spent far more time with her than Morgan ever had. She had long since grown dependent on him.
"Isn't he your husband, Mother? And you were the one who told me to learn from him. Why would you...?"
"You're still as naive as ever!" Morgan snapped, her expression one of exasperated disappointment. It reminded Fairy Tristan of ...

As a representative of the new generation, Tokai Teio's words quickly gained momentum. Kashimoto Riko hadn't anticipated that Tokai Teio had already completely transformed from the Tokai Teio she once knew. However, this presented a perfect opportunity for Kashimoto Riko.
By defeating Tokai Teio, she could further solidify the foundation of her Management Education Program, making it easier for students to accept. Conversely, the same held true.

Kashimoto Riko's policies directly impacted Tracen Academy, creating an oppressively tense atmosphere even in cultural studies classes.
Since the cafeteria incident, the atmosphere around Kousei had grown even heavier.
The pent-up resentment needed an outlet, and no one cared whether she was right or innocent.
