章 221: A New Semester A New Evaluation Interlude

Waking up, Stacia blinked at her surroundings, her vision slowly adjusting to the unfamiliar ceiling above her.

A mild confusion washed over her as she tried to gather her bearings.

"You're awake."

The voice caught her attention, and she turned to see Vanessa, one of her closest companions, seated nearby, watching her with an amused expression.

"Vanessa..."

Vanessa smirked, crossing her arms. "Despite your weird adaptive constitution, I'm still surprised. With all the lightning bolts he landed on you, I expected you to at least sleep for a couple more hours."

"How long was I out?" Stacia asked, her voice steady now that she was more alert.

"Just around 40 minutes."

"I see..."

Now fully awake, Stacia scanned her surroundings, realizing she was in the temporary medical facility near the testing area.

Though her mind had been foggy at first, the events of the battle quickly came rushing back to her.
