The nicest thing about graduation, Bea thinks, is that in the brief window after breakfast and before the flames burn through, most of the mals are migrating down to the graduation hall. So it's possible to let one's guard down slightly more than usual and not feel too bad about it. And if you go two to a room instead of separately to wait for the cleansing to finish... it's not like curfew's being enforced.

Just as planned.

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

Bea

Bea can be patient.

surviving

It'll sweeten the reward?

Bea

tiny-cracks-of-light

Something like that.

surviving

Good they're both on the same page.

Bea

tiny-cracks-of-light

They work well together.

surviving

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.

not-any-higher-stands-the-grave

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.

not-any-higher-stands-the-grave

True.

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

sleeping-like-a

Oh boy, responsibility.

not-any-higher-stands-the-grave

Xunyu's confident she can handle it.

sleeping-like-a

She will.

not-any-higher-stands-the-grave

Good.

sleeping-like-a

Chengsu is nothing if not good at her job, after all.

not-any-higher-stands-the-grave

The best there is.

sleeping-like-a

Let's get started.

not-any-higher-stands-the-grave

First up is getting everyone in line to enter together... Chengsu should be at the rear, most likely, but Xunyu's unsure where the best place for her long term is - though that's something they can experiment with.
