Mikuru hadn't packed her pistols - they didn't fit in her purse. But she had stuffed a few smaller pieces of her Miracle costume in there; experimentation had showed her that she could pull off enough of a laser to be distracting without much of her costume on. She had her junction device underneath her nice dress, and hey, she'd taken boxing and martial arts for a reason.

"I hope I can keep one unruly cadet in line - I won't make much of an Instructor if I can't..."

After graduating, Mikuru had started studying for her Instructor's license to teach the new, week long ESL class, but since the attack, she'd been quietly considering teaching the younger cadets as well, or maybe instead.

She smiled shyly at the congratulations, though.

"It's alright, honestly! Besides, we make more than you; I don't mind paying for my own dessert."
