Then Gelda shows them around campus. Gelda said, "I hope the campus is to your liking, and by the way, the total campus consists of a total of 53 islands surrounding the central island, Galahad, which we are on right now."
Then, while someone was walking, Gelda said, "Hello ma'am."
The stranger said, "Gelda, is that you?"
Gelda said, "It's been ages, Mrs. Serena."
Gelda said, "Allow me to introduce you all. This is Mrs. Serena; she is the head of the biology department and the head of monster research and dissection."
Serena said, "It's a pleasure, and good to see you are awake, Jewel. But who are these kids? Lemme see... this child is definitely emitting the same magic as you, Jewel. So are you also Jewel's child?"
Licht said, "Yes, ma'am."
Serena said, "Ohh, I can definitely see the resemblance. And by the way, is Lilith also with you? I heard her son was some kind of prodigy."
Gelda said, "Well, about that..." and then she looked at Alysa and said, "Is this girl yours, Gelda?"
Gelda said, "No, ma'am."
Serena said, "I thought you said you had a daughter."
Elizabeth said, "Umm, that would be me, ma'am."
Gelda said, "That's my daughter, Elizabeth Vaude, and she will be joining next year. And these three are the freshmen."
Serena looked at Liebe and said, "You look quite familiar."
Liebe said, "Umm, is that so?"
Serena said, "Your magic, hair, eyes, and skin — it looks so familiar. Is it ok if I dissect you a bit more in the lab?"
Liebe said, "That would be a bit much, ma'am."
Gelda said, "Umm, ma'am, that is—"
Serena said, "Don't tell me, I want to figure that out myself."
She examined Liebe's eyes under a flashlight and took a drop of blood, tasted it, and said, "Ohhh, now I have the idea."
Gelda said, "Well—"
Serena said, "You must be somehow related to Licht. Are you his cousin or something? So you are Jewel's nephew?"
Gelda said, "Umm, no ma'am. Well, please allow me to introduce you — this is the heir to the throne of Faust and Captain Lilith's firstborn, Liebe Faust."
Serena said, "Interesting. Now let me dissect you."
Liebe said, "Please, no."
Serena said, "No wonder you felt so familiar — your magic and everything about you. But I have a question for you: would you mind if I dissected Licht over here?"
Liebe said, "Sure, ma'am, no problem. That will definitely reduce my headaches."
Serena asked, "Now, how do you feel about live human dissection for research?"
Liebe said, "As much as I would love to agree, I'm against it, as lives aren't something that should be toyed with. Rather, every life is sacred and should be treated as such regardless of circumstance."
Hearing this, Serena saw a silhouette of Lilith behind Liebe and remembered her saying, Ma'am, every life is sacred and should be treated as such. Then Serena just laughed out loud.
Liebe said, "Umm, Gelda, did I just say something wrong?"
Gelda said, "I don't think so."
Serena stopped laughing and said, "No, you didn't say anything wrong, it's just that now I know for sure you are definitely Lilith's, alright."
Liebe said, "Umm, ma'am, what?"
Serena said, "Once I also asked your mother the same questions, and except for Licht, I said Jewel, and your mother said the same. I can basically see a younger her in you."
And then she just walked away.
Alysa said, "Well, she was strange."
Licht said, "You can say that again."
Liebe said, "Same here."
