Students of Shanhaijing Senior High School head off on vacation to a valley village. They set out to discipline a group of troublemaking young pupils and discover what it truly means to be a responsible adult.

“The Calm After the Storm” event features:

• Stories and Quests: Clearing Stories earns rewards, including Pyroxenes and event currency. Quests award Credit Points and Artifacts.
• Event Shop: Players can exchange event currency for a range of items. The shop and reward exchange stay open through November 3, a week longer than the event itself.
• Challenges: High-difficulty battles are live and grant 30 Pyroxenes for each stage cleared. Clearing all three stages unlocks the Extra (Ex) Stage, which rewards a Secret Tech Sheet.

Limited-time recruitment event features:

• Kisaki (Swimsuit) ★3: A Sonic-type Supporter. Her EX Skill “Enforcement: Banzai Stretches,” once used twice, becomes “Declaration: Closed Today,” increasing her Skill Cost Recovery and reducing the Skill Cost of three allied Strikers.
• Shun (Swimsuit) ★3: A Sonic-type damage dealer. Her “Flower Bud” stacks, up to three levels, are consumed by her EX Skill to deal serious damage to a single enemy. She can switch to Shunling (Swimsuit), whose EX Skill deals heavy damage and applies a stacking ATK Down effect, up to three stacks.
