Speaking of which, if one were to rank the "three major BUG abilities" in Teyvat purely by mystery factor, Cassandra's would top the list—without question.
Unlike the other two, like Haruhime's level-up magic or Airmid's ultimate healing spell which could be understood by the Falna, Cassandra's skill was nearly incomprehensible—a complete mess of chaotic code.
As previously mentioned, even the name was an uncertain inference made by the future Miach Familia's god after Cassandra converted and joined their ranks.
So the question arises…
"All those abilities I got from the 'Genshin System'… they can all be interpreted by the Falna? Could it be because their mystery factor isn't as high as Cassandra's skill?"
One day, Renjiro asked Xiao about this.
Her answer was:
"You're overthinking… Even a skill that allows 100% accurate prophetic dreams cannot surpass the mystery of an entire 'world.'"
"For a world, 'time' is only a part of the whole."
"And don't even get me started—your system is even more mysterious than the world itself."
The super-cute, slightly scatterbrained holy sword lady had answered seriously:
"Basically, when the Falna tries to analyze all the 'unknowns' and 'essences' related to you, the system actively transmits some information to be displayed, just to help you understand."
"That's why your three main spells all say, 'Unknown effect, unlocking conditions not met.'"
"The fourth spell, 'Primordial Human,' is not a product of the system. Even if it indirectly transmits some information, part of it remains unclear. So… don't even talk about random code—sometimes there's not even text displayed at all."
"That's roughly the situation."
…
Recalling this, Renjiro had by then arrived with Lumine at a lounge, guided by Hyakinthos.
It seemed to be the female dormitory area of the Apollo Familia.
The three of them entered openly, without seeing anything inappropriate.
Honestly…
"This world… or at least within Orario, really seems to lack a 'dorm supervisor' role."
If memory serves, the 'school district' and the magic nation Altena had fairly organized accommodation systems.
At present…
"Cassandra, stop spouting nonsense, okay?"
Just as they reached the lounge door, a highly exasperated female voice came from inside:
"You actually want to go to the Freya Familia to see the Twin Stars? Doing this recklessly will cause huge problems…"
"If you don't notify the elders quickly, the world…"
"Yes, yes, the world will be destroyed, right?"
The weak-voiced girl tried to protest but was immediately drowned out by the earlier complaints.
Inside the lounge, sunlight streamed through large windows. A short-haired girl with dark red hair rested her forehead in her hand, sighing at a long-haired blue-haired peer she was restraining with her other hand:
"It was just a nightmare. If you're too scared of the dark, you can bring your pillow and blanket to my room tonight…"
"It's really not like that, believe me~"
The pitiful girl's emerald eyes were already glistening with tears.
Seeing this…
"Hey!"
Hyakinthos clearly wasn't in a good mood and shouted.
Instantly, the two girls jumped.
"Hyakinthos-sama!"
The short-haired girl in white uniform, Daphne Lauros, and the black-clad girl Cassandra Ilion quickly responded.
Seeing this…
"Truly, what a disgrace."
Hyakinthos thought these two were completely unruly. With outsiders present, such unbecoming behavior was clearly an embarrassment to their god.
Fortunately, Lumine was standing nearby. Though Hyakinthos was furious, he gritted his teeth and restrained himself, knowing losing control here would only shame Apollo-sama further.
"You two, come over here."
At the leader's command, Daphne and Cassandra hurried over.
After a slight gasp, Hyakinthos gestured politely toward Lumine:
"Today you have a guest who specifically wants to see you… Cassandra, be sure to behave. No more rudeness."
"Otherwise…"
"Mr. Hyakinthos, please don't say that."
Lumine felt it was time to interject. Half-joking, she said:
"I'm just curious and want to make friends with Miss Cassandra. Making the atmosphere so formal, I feel like I'm the scary one."
Hearing this…
"Uh~"
Hyakinthos froze.
"Apologies, I didn't think it through."
He sensed Lumine's goodwill… though clearly it wasn't directed at him.
"Being appreciated by Miss Lumine is Cassandra's honor."
Hyakinthos' tone softened.
"Since you want to make friends with this hopeless girl, I won't interfere. Some topics between ladies are better handled privately anyway."
"I'll take my leave now."
He gestured for Lumine to enter the lounge while he stepped aside.
Seeing Renjiro unconsciously follow, he furrowed his brow but said nothing further.
Once Hyakinthos closed the lounge door…
"Phew~"
Lumine pinched her shoulders.
"It's exhausting pretending to be a proper 'lady'."
"Huh?"
The originally tense Daphne and Cassandra were taken aback.
Lumine's sudden contrasting demeanor surprised them.
Seeing this…
"Hehe~"
Renjiro stood quietly beside her, smiling.
He knew the "Teyvat Queen of All Women" was about to start working her magic again.
