After the intense battles and revelations, the Regolis Team returns to a semblance of normalcy in Gakusen Toshi. The city is slowly recovering from the shock of the Shadow Syndicate's exposure, and signs of change are everywhere—the result of a populace emboldened by the team's actions. In the midst of this, the team finds an unexpected source of inspiration: a young, ten-year-old girl named Mia.
Mia, who lost her parents during the Great War against the Exadia, has endured hardship and loss from a young age. Drawn to the Regolis Team's spirit of resilience and hope, she becomes fascinated by their determination to protect the city. With a mixture of curiosity and admiration, she approaches the team during one of their public appearances, expressing her desire to be part of their cause.
Hikari, touched by Mia's unwavering spirit, invites her to observe the team's training sessions. As they spend time together, Hikari learns of Mia's remarkable intelligence and her determination to contribute to the city's betterment. Despite her young age, Mia's insight surprises the team, revealing a perspective that is both refreshing and earnest.
Over time, Mia's presence becomes a ray of light amid the team's responsibilities. Her enthusiasm is infectious, reminding the team members of the hope that drives them forward. Mia's interactions with each member offer unique insights, bridging generational gaps and helping the team members see their cause through fresh eyes.
In a heartwarming subplot, Mia forms a special bond with Aika, who lost her own family during the war. The two share their stories of loss and resilience, finding solace in their shared experiences. Aika becomes Mia's mentor, teaching her the art of swordsmanship and guiding her in channeling her grief into strength.
As the chapter unfolds, Mia's presence becomes a testament to the city's ability to heal and rebuild. Her determination and the unbreakable bond she forms with the team inspire others to join their cause, reinforcing the Regolis Team's vision of a city united against manipulation and fear.
Amidst school days and training sessions, the Regolis Team finds a renewed sense of purpose through Mia's unwavering hope. As the city's recovery takes root, they prepare to face the final challenges that lie ahead, armed not only with their Regolis weapons but with the knowledge that the strength of their unity and the hope they've ignited can overcome even the darkest of shadows.
