Synopsis

A professor, Ethella, arrives to investigate the RSSS research group, worried about its influence on Shirone, a student with high potential. The group members, including the president Neid and the seemingly dull Eruki, are shown to be highly skilled, with Neid creating advanced inventions. Meanwhile, another professor, Siena, argues for student autonomy but worries that Shirone's involvement in the notorious group might jeopardize his future, leading to an unsettling reveal about Shirone's recent speed test achievement that is said to be 'Nirvana'. The chapter also hints at a hidden, gossip-filled information booklet circulated by another shady research group that may be linked to the graduating class.
