When it concluded, she couldn't help but applaud, her excitement breaking through."That was amazing! I've never seen anything like it," Electra exclaimed, stepping into the room.Blade, still catching his breath, turned to her with a friendly nod. "Thanks! It's all part of the training. You must be new here.""Yes, I'm Electra. I just arrived today," she introduced herself, her eyes wide with wonder. "I heard the sounds and had to see for myself."Jingliu, who had just sheathed her sword, offered a warm smile. "Well, Electra, you've come to the right place. This is where we forge our futures. I'm Jingliu, and this is Blade."Electra blinked, her gaze lingering on them as recognition sparked in her eyes. "Wait, Jingliu? You must be my roommate! And I also know you, Blade!"Jingliu raised an eyebrow, a playful grin spreading across her face. "Ooh, am I? Woah! I hadn't noticed!"Blade chuckled, curiosity piqued. "Perhaps you've heard of us from 'Honkai Star Rail'?"Electra's eyes widened in surprise and excitement. "Of course! I've followed your stories. It's incredible to meet you in person."Jingliu stepped closer, her expression turning thoughtful. "And what brings you to the academy, Electra? What are you seeking here?"Electra hesitated, the answer not entirely clear to her yet. "I'm not sure yet. I feel drawn here, like there's something I'm meant to find or become."Blade clapped a reassuring hand on Electra's shoulder, his smile encouraging. "That's how many of us started. A feeling, an instinct. You'll find your path, Electra. And we'll be here to help you along the way."Jingliu nodded in agreement, her gaze steady and supportive. "Every guardian and defender has a beginning. Yours starts today, Electra. Welcome to the academy."Electra looked between Blade and Jingliu, feeling a warm sense of belonging wash over her. In that moment, her doubts seemed to fade, replaced by a burgeoning determination."Thank you, both of you," she said, her voice filled with newfound confidence. "I can't wait to start."With her new friends by her side and the academy's vast opportunities ahead, Electra felt ready to embrace the journey before her. The path to discovering her potential and her place in the world had begun, and she was eager to see where it would lead.
