Later, they end up in the same class. Where they find out it isn't actually one of the main classes at the school, but one studying unfortunate students and helping them uncover their special skills and talents to allow them to become successful in life. She also meets Botan, a very frail classmate and together the girls get to know each other while during their first task.
