The Principal's Arrival

After leaving the Virtual Simulation, not even 10 minutes had passed due to the time acceleration inside.

Because of that, we still had a few hours to spare before the Principal arrived.

Although there's the chance to ask him about the question I had piled up during these three months of not going back to Earth as well as the suspicions I had about his identity, there's probably no point anymore because of the impending reveal and knowing that Principal, he would beat around the bush while avoiding the main point.

Most of the girls were still hung up with what happened inside. Seeing how Irja fought and won against all Rank 2 Transcendents, even beating the two women with cheat-like abilities, they were inspired to continue progressing in their respective Pathways to also one day challenge her.
