It will be interesting to see how the system reacts to this information, whether they do not know or if they DO know.

Yeah, the system as far as we've seen seems to be well intentioned and working with a bad hand they don't fully understand. It'll be interesting to see if there's conspiracies underneath or if they genuinely dont know poo poo and how they react to that.

I appreciate that Tessa has moved to be sitting in the shadow of the statue of the founder, with her back towards it, while Undine is in the sun looking up at it.

Gotta be intentional.

I'm really interested in seeing what Anemone has to say about this situation. I wouldn't put it past her to just talk about a recipe for pumpkin cupcakes or something though.

It's gonna be this or silent horror.

Goops seems to have a personal direct antipathy towards Undine as well, which doesnt quite gel with the above theories.

I think this is mostly Tessa. Goops was happy to send tons of monsters blindly to their deaths; I doubt she cared about them the way Tessa is here.

"Everything must be very confusing for you" feels like some projection to me too.

Pretty sure the way this is gonna play out is Goops not realising she isn't in control until it's clear Tessa's going further than she wants. Like I just reckon that it's gonna turn out Goops wasn't the devil in this deal. Probably a ways off though.

The really weird part is that Monster Studies takes place in room "IXI"





Maybe it's like 9-1. It is a school after all. Room 9 Floor 1, Room 1 Floor 9 or something.

Edit: that'll teach me not to refresh the page. Doy

Edit2: oh man the monster studies club addendum suggests some real awkward meetings lol.

On earlier discussion I'm confused, do MGs in this get a standard superhuman strength/fitness package or not? Training certainly effects it but are they innately kinda superhuman as in most MG stuff or not?

It definitely seems to affect them to some degree. In the first couple of chapters Sally eats poo poo and Sylvia eats poo poo which are both injuries the average person wouldn't shrug off, though it's not clear how much of that is like, plot armor/comic relief.

I also feel like it probably saved Starlight Spear's life when she was transporting baby Kokoro to the hospital - like even without the extreme speed, a normal person wouldn't have been able to survive that long - but I don't know. We also hear about MGs getting tons of injuries and ultimately being fine though I'm guessing a lot of that is due to healers. Rue also uses her magic to heal herself, so we can assume that to some degree their magic fuels strength and regenerative properties, though I'm getting into conjecture territory.

Also when trying to look for something I ran into this page which I'm really curious about still. I wonder if her dream was disturbing, or if she's musing about her mom and the fact that her powers went into her?

God this comic has so many nice details and is just so well put together. I love to reread it sometimes and just appreciate all the little worldbuilding poo poo that's in it. Thank you Mary for such a nice comic.

Not just me who finds it unclear then? I'm assuming they have at least a bit though it's obviously kinda variable and not like the Sailor Senshi (Usagi can exit atmosphere from a standing jump lol) or anything.

Also new page and here weeee goooo.

Yeah this is absolutely a shared fusion.

She might think Goops is dominant as a way of denying responsibility for what they're doing though. But honestly if either of them is more in control, it's probably Tessa as that makes a better story and her flaws are much more interesting to examine.

This might be the catalyst for that MG focused religion that's been mentioned but mostly off to the side of things entering the plot.

I imagine their respective parents will also have words with them. I think they realize Something Is Up.

HP's dad for sure is going to be freaked.

Also I said this earlier, but I imagine the long mentioned but so far never relevant MG worshippers and maybe some MGs from their school are probably going to enter the plot after this.
