Laniakea arrives at the orphanage and tries to sneak in to avoid being punished by Sister. As he goes into his room and closes the door, a tall, shadowy figure approaches him. Laniakea turns around but instantly realizes it is Sister because of her unnatural eyes. He says, "Sister, you almost scared me."
"Maybe you should stay scared. What is a seven year old child doing out this late into the night? Do you have any idea how worried I was? What if something happened to you? You should have at least told me you were coming home late; you know how dangerous these streets are. And don't you dare tell me you were in the forest the whole time as an excuse," says Sister.
Laniakea can't even be mad at Sister because everything she said was completely right after all, even some kids from the orphanage were kidnapped once, though that was almost a decade ago. He points to his bed, signaling that he wants to go to sleep now. Sister signals for him to just go and not cause any more trouble. Laniakea lies down and wonders when the last time he slept on a bed was, considering all the times he had passed out in the forest. He closes his eyes and relaxes his muscles. The bed feels so warm and comfortable that he falls asleep in just a few seconds.
"Lan, Lan, wake up! Guess who's here!"
Laniakea jumps out of bed and goes straight behind the person who just woke him up, but he notices it's just Jessica. He says, "Don't scare me like that; you almost gave me a heart attack. Anyway, who's here?"
"I-I scared you? You're the one who jumps up like that after just waking up! You almost gave me a heart attack! Well, about the person... a Knight visited us for a charidy action or something," she says. "It's charity," corrects Laniakea.
Jessica gives him a glare filled with anger, but he can't help but think she looks absolutely adorable. They walk outside to see the Knight. Laniakea looks at the Knight and wears a surprised expression, as he looks much different than the one from the Yun Marquisate. He asks the Knight, "Excuse me, are you really a Knight? Where's your armor?"
The Knight says, "It's understandable you'd ask me that, but don't worry. I just left it at the base. But if you still aren't convinced, how about I show you my Aura?"
Laniakea and the rest of the kids at the orphanage all nod excitedly. The Knight pulls out his sword and injects his Aura into the blade by circulating it from his Aura heart. He guides the Aura through his veins to the tips of his fingers and then into his sword. He then lets out a powerful downward swing, making the dust around him fly up through the sheer power behind the strike.
Laniakea looks very closely, as he can somehow see the Aura circulation of the Knight. He sees how the Knight utilizes his muscles, building up power from his glutes, quads, and calves for the initial drive, then using his obliques and core for rotation. After that, he uses his lats, pectorals, and triceps for acceleration, and lastly, his forearms and wrist flexors for edge control all while simultaneously supplying them with Aura to add stability, quality, impact, and explosiveness to his attack with his special eyes. Laniakea wears a mesmerized expression as he has never seen anything as magnificent as that singular sword strike before. That single yet profound strike repeats in his head hundreds of times, enough for him to imagine it happening in front of him without the Knight even moving. He looks at the other kids but realizes he is the only one who seems to have understood the beauty of that sword strike.
