To everyone's surprise, Kiana heads to training plaza where she first meets Mei and Fu Hua. Fu Hua tries to inquire about Mei's injures but is stopped by Kiana who doesn't like anyone poking nose into affairs of her beloved dormmate. The three then train on their own.
Himeko arrives at the plaza and finds Kiana earnestly train her combat skills. After failing to hold back her astonishment, she asks Kiana about Bronya's well-being. Himeko suspects it wasn't the battleship's fault that Bronya was hurt but doesn't want to continue the discussion once Kiana brings up the possibility of Bronya being controlled as if she was a game character. Theresa joins Himeko and reprimands her for the apparent overuse of alcohol that could set a bad example for the students. Theresa notices Kiana and her shocked face is almost enough to make Kiana leave as she had enough of being told she's a bad student. Using the rare occasion, Himeko teaches Kiana about protecting mission objectives to make her stay.

Perhaps Bronya was being controlled by someone else, just like HOMUs in the game.

< You'll control Himeko from this point onwards. Walk up to the blue waypoint ahead of you to change the waypoint's color and start the defense training. >
Himeko
While I'm warming up, I can help you go over the key points of Defense Mode.
Himeko
It might appear in the upcoming exam, so you'd better listen carefully, Kiana.
Himeko
You have to stop monsters from entering the purple ring. If 5 enter, you fail.
< Defeat all enemies that will spawn to proceed. >
Himeko
I feel much better after the warm-up. Try to prepare yourself well for the exam, Kiana.
< Next stage will automatically trigger if it was your first clear. >
