Suchan finds out a secret base for Pet Shop and can’t pass up the opportunity to cripple Breeder’s operations. But with everyone on high alert at Nest after the attacks, students are not allowed off campus for any reason. The group comes up with a plan to get off campus but ends up with a faculty chaperone at a Nest-sponsored resort house instead. They still manage to find their way to the secret base, and what Suchan and the A Team find at there is arguably way more than a group of first years could possibly hope to handle.

The fallout of the soirée means Victoria is on the radar of the Royal family of Ashbury, and that’s not exactly where a spy in hiding wants to be. She starts some light fighting training with Nonna, mostly self-defense and the art of running away spiritedly. Later, she starts a new job tutoring Captain Jeffrey’s nephew, who has gone through many tutors and has gotten the reputation of being a difficult child. Victoria teaches both Nonna and her new charge and her teaching methods integrate the power of play as much as possible despite this coming across to observers as unconventional teaching methods.
