After the events of the previous night, Mei and the others had exhausted all their energy within the Stigmata Space. Kaslana had even fallen fast asleep right in the girls' dormitory; if Kiana hadn't woken him up, he probably would have slept there all day long.
That morning, before Himeko's class even started, Kaslana was already fast asleep again. If Himeko hadn't been aware of the series of incidents that occurred last night, she probably would have hoisted him up by the collar. Aside from Mei, Theresa had not yet woken up either. Since Kaslana was likely resting to recover from his excessive exertion, Himeko didn't say anything about his behavior and simply let him continue sleeping.
In the afternoon, Kaslana's nightmare returned: physical training once more. Yinyu, standing nearby, had no choice but to forcefully wake Kaslana up. Zhang Lin wore a helpless expression, thinking to himself why he was so sleepy, and hoping his opponent wouldn't be too freakishly strong—ideally someone on his own level. Zhang Lin forced himself to stay on his feet, fighting off the encroaching sleep.
To everyone's surprise, however, Kiana wanted to spar with Kaslana. That morning, Kiana had asked Mei, "You're so amazing, Mei! How did you manage to solve the Principal's stigmata problem?" Mei had told Kiana that she herself had long since been knocked out by the monsters in the Stigmata Space, leaving only classmate Lin and the Principal. Moreover, since the Principal had an injured foot and couldn't stand, it could only have been classmate Lin who resolved the issue, which raised the question of why he had been pulled into the Stigmata Space in the first place.
Therefore, Kiana chose to train with Kaslana. Although Zhang Lin knew his fate would be a miserable beating, he had no choice but to fight off his sleepiness and get into a stance. Kiana threw a punch, and Kaslana staggered backward. She threw another punch, and Kaslana retreated again. Frustrated, Kiana lashed out with a direct kick, and Kaslana went flying backward. As it turned out, Kaslana hadn't been dodging on purpose at all—he had simply been walking backward in his sleep. With no other options, Yinyu had to carry Kaslana back to the boys' dormitory.
Along the way, Yinyu kept chattering away: "Big Brother, you're so heavy! Big Brother, you're something else—actually sleeping in the girls' dormitory. Big Brother, do you know what Bronya likes?" But Kaslana was already fast asleep and couldn't hear a word Yinyu was saying.
In his dream, Kaslana saw a white-haired man. The man's hair and eyes were both white, and upon his forehead was an inverted "A" symbol. Red markings extended outward from his heart across his entire body all the way to his hands and feet, and even the backs of his hands bore an inverted "A". When Kaslana tried to step forward, the white-haired man suddenly erupted with all his power. The markings on his chest began to fade, while the red marks on his hands and feet vanished entirely. The inverted "A" on his forehead transformed into a "V", and the inverted symbols on his hands also became "V"s, his aura completely different from when he first appeared.
If words could describe it, he was simply like a deity—no, an existence surpassing even gods. This was the true embodiment of "above and beneath the heavens, I alone am honored." Yet when Kaslana looked to the opposite side of the white-haired man, a Demon God woven from darkness and mystery was confronting him, as if the two of them encompassed the entire world. Both figures gave off an overwhelming, invincible aura. Kaslana wanted to observe further, but unfortunately, the clash between the white-haired man and the Demon God directly destroyed the entire world, startling Kaslana awake.
When he finally came to, it was just past six o'clock, so he took a quick shower. When it came time to change clothes, he discovered his own clothes had vanished, leaving him no choice but to wake Yinyu and borrow some. Even so, the clothes were too small, so he ended up having to borrow an outfit from Lin Xie, which turned out to fit just right.
Yinyu remarked from the side, "Big Brother, it looks like you've grown a lot taller! I'm 180 centimeters and I can't even fit into those, and it looks like you're at least around 183 now! And you look completely different from before, too." Zhang Lin remained lost in thought, still immersed in the image of the man from his dream. The fact that he now looked identical to that man presented quite a baffling puzzle.
