Accompanied by the two's memories, Seele's thoughts drifted back to the class earlier that morning.
Under the guidance of the homeroom teacher, Seele arrived at her own class.
The instant Seele walked into the classroom, she immediately attracted the attention of all the classmates.
After arriving at the podium, the homeroom teacher introduced Seele with a smiling face.
"Students, this is the exchange student from overseas, Seele. I hope in the days to come, everyone can get along well."
After the homeroom teacher finished the introduction, enthusiastic applause instantly rang out in the classroom.
Facing the students' enthusiasm, Seele shyly lowered her head, her fair cheeks slightly flushed.
"Hello everyone, I'm Seele. Please take care of me."
As she said this, Seele timidly swept her gaze across the classroom.
Seeing that the students didn't dislike her self-introduction, she let out a long sigh of relief in her heart.
Seeing Seele like this, Black Seele angrily said in her mind, [Seele, you don't have to be so cautious. As long as I'm here, there's no way anyone would bully you!]
Yet before Black Seele could finish speaking, she suddenly sensed a blazing hot gaze cast toward Seele.
Following the gaze, Seele and Black Seele saw a gray-haired girl propping her chin, looking at them with great interest.
And that girl was none other than Ivana.
At that moment, the homeroom teacher's voice sounded beside Seele.
"Seele, your seat is..."
A red glint flashed in Ivana's eyes.
The homeroom teacher suddenly turned their head and pointed to the other side of the classroom.
"Just sit in the seat in front of Ivana."
As the homeroom teacher's voice fell, Black Seele immediately became vigilant.
[Seele, this person clearly harbors bad intentions. Let me handle her later.] Saying so, Black Seele was about to take over control of the body, but was stopped by Seele.
'The other me, I know you're doing this to protect me," Seele softly said in her heart. "But this time, let me try myself, okay? I just... don't want you to be too tired.'
After hearing Seele's words, Black Seele was silent for a moment, then said, [Up to you. But if anything seems off, I'll immediately take control of the body…]
'Thank you, the other me…'
Sure enough, the moment Seele sat in her seat, Ivana immediately leaned over and greeted her warmly.
"Hi~ Hello Seele, I'm Ivana. Please take care of me from now on~ Oh right, Seele, the teacher said you're an exchange student. So where did you come from~?"
Although Ivana wore a bright smile, Black Seele could clearly feel the probing intent behind that smile.
"Seele, this person is testing you~ I think we should play it safe fir..."
Seele, "Classmate, actually, I've already remembered everything about my past~ Whether it's about the Honkai... or about you all…"
Black Seele, [!!!]
Ivana, "???"
This move of Seele casually throwing out a big reveal not only froze the smile on Ivana's face, but also made Black Seele stomp in panic.
[Seele! You...]
'Sorry, the other me, please forgive my recklessness,' Seele apologized in her heart. 'But I don't think Ivana is a bad person... so being honest might be better between us...'
Black Seele sighed, thinking how after everything this girl had gone through, she was still so trusting of others.
'Didn't she understand that the human heart is the most unreliable thing of all!' Still, despite the complaints, Black Seele chose to release her own presence.
Immediately, Seele's eyes turned crimson, and her aura changed dramatically.
Black Seele glared sharply at Ivana and coldly said, "Herrscher of Sentience, have you tested us enough?"
To this, Ivana playfully winked and, using the Herrscher of Knowledge's authority, linked the consciousnesses of the three and said with a smile, "Ah, don't be so tense~ I was just curious why you two suddenly came to Changkong City."
Seele answered frankly, "We came here because we received an invitation from Bronya before, and just happened to want to see her…"
Once Seele finished, Black Seele looked at Ivana warily and said, "Now that you know why we're here, then what about you? You couldn't have come here just out of love for studying, right?"
Faced with Black Seele's questioning, Ivana smiled and answered, "Actually, my reason for coming is quite similar to yours. You came looking for Bronya, and I came looking for... fun~"
"Fun?"
"Yeah~" Ivana said. "As the saying goes, life is short, enjoy while you can. So me coming to find some fun shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Black Seele narrowed her eyes and warned Ivana, "I'll say it bluntly, your fun has nothing to do with us. But if you target Seele, don't blame me for being rude."
Ivana dramatically clutched her chest, pretending to be heartbroken, "The other Seele, how could you say such cold words with a 37-degree mouth! We were comrades who once fought the Honkai together!"
"Besides, anyone who knows me knows that I, Ivana, am an honest person!"
"Heh~" Black Seele looked at her with disdain. "Try saying that to your superior. See if he believes it?"
"Believe it or not~" Ivana shrugged.
"Since we've already laid our cards on the table, then it's easier to deal with things going forward…"
Black Seele firmly said, "From now on, you seek your fun, and we'll live quietly as transfer students. Let's stay out of each other's way, okay?"
To this, Ivana didn't respond, she only made an okay gesture with her hand.
Just as Black Seele was about to hand back control of the body to Seele, Ivana suddenly lowered her voice and said,
"Oh right, one last question... Aren't you curious where Van is?"
Upon hearing the name "Van," Black Seele instinctively paused for a moment, then immediately said coldly,
"Not interested."
After saying that, Black Seele returned control to Seele.
Back in control of her body, Seele gave Ivana an apologetic look and said, "Ivana, the other me may speak a bit directly, but she doesn't mean any harm."
Ivana waved her hand and generously said, "I get it, I get it~ We're all old acquaintances, so even if you didn't explain, I'd still understand~"
However, the moment Seele turned around, a gleeful smile suddenly surfaced on Ivana's face. Because just now, she had clearly caught that fleeting pause from Black Seele.
Thinking of this, Ivana fought back the urge to laugh and cheered inwardly, "You see~ new fun, didn't it just arrive~"
