Chapter III To the Stars Yet to Shine

The gateway to Lahai-Roi is now open! What burns beneath the frostlands is waiting for your return!

The gateway to Lahai-Roi is now open! What burns beneath the frostlands is waiting for your return! After your surprise encounter with Lynae, you enroll under her guidance. Startorch Academy, Spacetrek Collective, the New Solar Ceremony... This "academic capital" starts to reveal itself to you. Hyvatia is out of control. The Void Storms are getting worse, a dark conspiracy is exposed, and a crisis is imminent... The time has come to cut through the lies.

The Voidworm threat has finally subsided. To ensure the New Solar Ceremony can proceed as planned, Mornye from the Research Institute schedules a meeting with you and Lynae at the dormitory, hoping to learn more about the Hyvatia Detector's sudden loss of control. Yet hidden dangers still linger, and securing the Ceremony's success may prove far more complicated than it seems… You and Mornye decide to split up. As the Predicted One mentioned by the Heliodic Six, you will head to the Solisylum. Meanwhile, Mornye will investigate the device that triggered the Void Storm and confront Foreseer Yngvar. You agree to stay in contact and reunite later. After the New Solar Ceremony concludes, Helio's radiance spills across the land of Lahai-Roi. Just then, you receive a message from the infirmary: Mornye—who ventured into the Reactor Drive alone and suffered grievous injuries—has finally awakened.

To find the Exostrider and uncover the truth behind your frequency loss, you step into the falling snow and venture toward the silent, pale expanse of the frostlands. Following the traces she had left behind, you pass by a calm and ordinary lake, where the Exostrider in the frostlands is awaiting your arrival. The road trip movie is nearing its end, and your journey together has truly made her happy and content.

To reach your goal, you delve deeper into the Exostrider plan, all the while, anomalies hidden in the frostlands reveal themselves.

The New Solar Celebration is just around the corner. Yet, President Lucilla detects a mysterious frequency appearing in the Academy's Dark Side—one that does not belong to the Academy. You suspect it may be the "reward" once mentioned by the Grand Architect of the Fractsidus. Determined to uncover the truth behind this anomaly, you venture into the Dark Side alongside Sigrika, a student you encountered there...

After the New Solar Celebration comes to an end, Lucilla sends you a WavesLine message, saying that the root of the Dark Side anomaly remains unresolved. She hopes you can help her uncover the truth… After the Dark Side incident comes to an end, Lucilla meets with Hiyuki at the auditorium. Lucilla suspects that the Fractsidus may be plotting something far more dangerous behind the scenes…

Voidmatter concentration in Lahai-Roi is intensifying. Before assigning Hiyuki her next mission, Lucilla hoped Hiyuki would take a trip back to Honami... But once there, Hiyuki met...

Some progress has been made in activating the Exostrider...

With the events of Lahai-Roi over... Hiyuki returns to Honami. After all, she must complete the final Purge.

Not long after the Stridergate incident, the Spacetrek Collective informs you that Denia is awake and being kept in isolation. To learn the Fractsidus's next step and open new directions for future research, you head to the infirmary to negotiate with Denia. There, she offers you a "deal." In exchange, you'll need to stay with her for her birthday...

A Somnoire door has suddenly appeared in the Academy. Mornye has asked for your help investigating it.

Though the Threnodian Aleph-1 was banished, Lucilla finds herself in yet another predicament. In the absence of the Exostrider, funders are questioning whether the Synchronist program—and even the Rabelle College itself—should continue to exist. As both a professor and the head of the Academy, Lucilla must now choose between harsh reality and her ideals.
