Chapter 177: Initiation into the Cute Titans

As Lucia and her fellow new Cuties made their way back to the central gathering place of the Cute Titans, their steps were light, filled with the joy of their newfound identities and powers. However, their buoyant mood was soon tempered by a realization: not all of their friends had emerged from the Cutie Class Change Building.

Their expressions turned to concern as they paused, scanning the crowd for familiar faces yet to appear. "Has anyone seen Jael or Miren?" Lucia asked, her voice tinged with worry as she looked back toward the colorful building where they had transformed.

"They haven't come out yet," another elf noted, his brow furrowed in confusion.

"Why haven't they come out yet?" one elf whispered to another, her tone a mixture of concern and curiosity. They gathered in a small group, exchanging uneasy glances as the minutes stretched into a longer wait.
