At eight o'clock that evening, Carmena and Blanche both arrived punctually.
They glanced at each other and immediately understood each other's identities.
Carmena was shocked by how far Lucas's influence had spread—he had even conquered Sarah's best friend Celes Wester and her senior Blanche Nord, a ninth grader. Her fear and submission toward him grew even deeper.
As for Blanche, her heart remained calm; she only hoped Lucas would punish her severely tonight.
"Strip completely naked and kneel down," Lucas commanded without hesitation once everyone was present.
Blanche Nord was the first to respond to Lucas's order. She removed her black gown, and to everyone's surprise, she was completely bare underneath—not even wearing underwear.
Sarah was the next to undress, followed closely by Celes Wester.
Carmena was the last to act. Though her face was full of reluctance, seeing the other three already naked, she naturally did not dare refuse.
