In this chapter, the Governess tells the students that they will all feel sleepy after the physical education class, but she hopes that everyone will overcome this by looking for something to occupy their minds. She tells them to stare at their studies properly, and she tells them that since ancient times the north has always been yin, and the south always been yang. She then tells them about her new plant, which she calls her "angel full of spirit." She says that she named it "overlord of earth" because it is the strongest and most beautiful thing she has ever planted.
