Head to the Keep

After completing your exams you get a nice long Free Day. Accept the Quests handed to you, then go into the Male Bathroom to view a sub-event with Principal Aurelia. Once you’re all dried up, go into Lapin Boutique and speak with Wayne to update his Character Note, then talk to Tatiana in Carnegie Books & Games to update her Character Note, now head into the chapel and beat Sister Rosine at a game of Vantage Masters to acquire the Fifnall Card. Finally, go into Radio Trista and speak to Munk to accept the Side Quest, The Radio Stars.

Side Quest: The Radio Stars

Once you’ve accepted this quest you’ll need to pick one of the following Students to appear in the Drama, Mint (Hangar), Becky (Student Store), Sister Rosine (Leeves Chapel), and Linde (Medical Office). For the sake of this walkthrough we’ll go through with Mint. After you’ve returned to Radio Trista you’ll view a scene and then you’ll need to choose how you’ll respond. For the first one you’ll want to go with the second choice, Thank Neun nonchalantly, and for the second you’ll want to go with the first choice, Urge her sternly. Once the recording has come to a close the quest will be completed. Upon completion you’ll gain a Holy Breath SR and 5000 Mira.

Head to the Recette Bakery & Cafe and speak with Liza to accept the Side Quest, Liza’s Gift.

Go into Neinvalli Exchange and buy some cards for 5000 Mira to begin the Branch Campus Quest, is This Your Card?

Once you’ve accepted the quest go into the Terminal Room and show the cards to Stark. Here you’ll want to refuse the 100,000 Mira to get his Character Note,5000 Mira, and 4 AP when you complete the quest.

Next up it’s time to use those four bonding points. Here you’ll want to choose Altina (Leeve’s East Bridge) to update her Character Note, Ash (Hangar) to update his Character Note and Gaius (Arcus II) to take part in a Training Session. This is just a short couple of rooms so there’s no need for a map here, especially due to there being no Chests. Likewise, there are two enemies (Killer Shmark, Scalyptera) to scan here for your Battle Book but they don’t count towards the Trophy and you’ll find the information in the Extra section of the book.

After the short training session you’ll want to use your final bonding point on any of the following students, Juna (Student Cafeteria), Jusis (Arcus II), and Towa (3F Dorms). Once you’re done spending your Bonding Points, head into the hangar and speak with Mint to begin Panzer Soldat Training.
