Then they can go check.

Their allies are at the same table, so gathering them is easy. 

Funny how that works out, yeah.

Brat.

Yep.

She'll be adding that to Bea's record. 

Just as planned.

Though Liesel will leave her in suspense about her eventual punishment. 

Bea can be patient.

It'll sweeten the reward? 

Something like that.

Good they're both on the same page.

They work well together.

Yeah. They do. 

Time to get moving.

They're not the only ones heading towards the courses - and though Xunyu had far more people to wrangle, she did at least start sooner.

She actually wants to get an early slot, after all - it'll better simulate the real experience they'll have in the graduation hall. 

Practice the right habits and you won't get caught out by the real thing.

They'll only get one chance to get it right when it really matters. 

Which makes this all the more important.

Yeah.

...Though, admittedly, trying their new larger alliance idea on the very first run of the semester might have been a bit ambitious. Though they'll definitely identify a lot of problems here.

First step to solving them.

True.

Xunyu's going to have to focus on keeping the team together, so watching for problems will be Chengsu's job this run.

Oh boy, responsibility.

Xunyu's confident she can handle it.

She will.
