Anya Forger/Synopsis

Introduction Arc
Anya is first introduced to Loid at the orphanage when Loid asks for a child capable of reading and writing. Anya becomes aware of Loid's true identity as a spy by reading his mind and lies about her age and intelligence to persuade Loid into adopting her. When they go on a shopping trip, Anya inadvertently exposes her true intellect, or lack thereof, by misreading a bakery sign for bacon and attempting to purchase a 1 dalc poster with a 10 pent coin. She bursts into tears when Loid considers returning her for another child, only placated once Loid buys her a bag of peanuts. She gets tired mid-way, forcing Loid to carry her home while she sleeps.

The next day, Anya refuses to study, intending to rely on her telepathic abilities to cheat. After Anya attempts to follow Loid outside, he barricades her inside their apartment. Bored, she manages to access Loid's spy tools and plays with his radio, unaware her transmission and location were picked up by Edgar. His goons later kidnap her, and he intends to use her as a hostage to blackmail Loid into doing their bidding. There, she witnesses Edgar shooting one of his men, who suggested Edgar focus on something else besides the foreign minister's hairpiece. Anya is rescued by Loid, who sneaks in disguised as Nguyen. When Loid attempts to persuade her into going to a police station to be put in a better orphanage, she instead remains and later asks to stay with Loid, and they move to a new apartment.

Using a copy of the test questions, Loid helps Anya to memorize the answers to the entrance exam. During the exam, Anya briefly panics when she realizes she cannot use her telepathic abilities to cheat as the other children are all panicking or unfocused. She eventually calms down and remembers what Loid taught her. After the exam, they are overjoyed to find that Anya managed to pass and soon receive a letter from Eden Academy about the second phase of the admissions process, the family interview.

Upon discovering that they require a mother for the interview, Loid attempts to disguise Franky as one but fails. Seeing Loid having difficulty finding a wife, Anya asks if she is at fault for keeping the potential mothers away. Loid tells her it is not her fault and sends her away to watch television. Loid later brings her to a boutique to be measured for clothing, wishing to make her more presentable. When Anya interrupts Loid and Yor's conversation, she finds out about Yor's secret job as an assassin through mind-reading. Amused by the combination of their secret identities and starved for entertainment, Anya matchmakes the two of them.

Admissions Interview Arc
After Loid and Yor become legally married, Anya welcomes Yor to their house and helps her move in. Loid tries to do a mock interview as practice, but Yor and Anya are hopeless at answering. Loid decides to take them out on a trip in the hopes of cultivating some upper-class knowledge and shared experiences. Anya holds Yor's hand on the way but runs off in fear when she hears Yor reminiscing about when she accidentally broke her brother's ribs. Anya simply dozes off at the opera hall and runs around, pointing at a nude painting and statues missing body parts at the art gallery. During a political campaign, Anya becomes dizzy due to telepathically listening to the large crowd, and they have a meal at a restaurant. Worried about Loid, Yor brings them to a rooftop she often goes to for a break.

When a thief steals an old woman's purse, Anya helps locate the thief by reading all the thoughts of the people in the area, though she gets a nosebleed from the exertion. She draws Loid's attention to the thief by asking for cake and pointing at a cake shop. After the thief is caught and they help return the stolen purse, the old woman expresses her gratitude and tells them that they look like a wonderful family. At home, Loid retries the mock interview, with better success.

Loid prepares Yor and Anya before they leave for Eden Academy. At the gates, Loid checks up on Anya to ensure she is fine with the crowd. Following Loid's lead, Anya salutes the statue of Eden Academy's founder. Upon seeing a male student stuck in a gutter, Loid signals to her and Anya suggests they help the boy out. When Loid pulls him out, mud is splattered all over his and Anya's clothes, but they get a change of clothes from Yor. When a horde of animals escape from the school farm, the applicants and their families panic and try to run away, causing Anya to become dizzy again. After Yor disables the cow leading the stampede, Anya empathizes with the cow's fear and gently comforts it. Pacified, the cow gets up and returns to its home, along with the other animals. Afterwards, Henry Henderson rushes out to commend their abilities.

Having successfully made it to the admissions interview, Anya and her parents wait to be called in. Anya gets nervous while reading Loid's thoughts.Once they are called in, the interview begins by asking the parents first. When they interview her, Anya forgets the answer to a question and says Loid's thoughts by mistake. Loid quickly covers for her and makes up an answer. When the interviewers ask her to give a score to her parents, Anya answers with 100 points. Murdoch Swan maliciously asks her if she prefers her old mother or her new mother, causing her to start crying and calling out for her. They return home shortly after.

At home, Anya apologizes to Loid for doing badly at the interview. She is desperate for Loid's mission to succeed so they can stay together. Yor encourages them to be optimistic since Henry and Walter Evans liked them, and they clink their cups to celebrate their hard work. However, a family photo falls as a bad omen.

On the day the admissions are announced, the Forgers look for Anya's application number on the board and are dismayed when it is not there. As they prepare to leave, Henry stops them and shows a waiting list with Anya's name at the top. Yor imagines killing the parent of another applicant to ensure Anya's enrollment, much to Anya's amusement. Three days later, they receive a call announcing Anya's acceptance into Eden Academy and happily celebrate. Franky comes over shortly with a bottle of wine to celebrate and suggests that Loid give Anya something as a reward. Anya excitedly says she wants Loid to do something instead. She shows Loid a scene from Spy Wars, wishing to get rescued in a castle.

Loid rents a castle and invites several of his fellow agents to act as guests. Anya designates Loid as the spy who saves her and Franky as the boss of League of Evil, then hides behind a turned-over table as her prison. After Loid defeats Franky and Yor, he rescues "Princess Anya," who hugs him. Anya tells Loid she will work hard, and they go to the balcony to look at the stars.

Eden Beginnings Arc
At the same boutique as before, Anya is getting measured for her new uniform. Anya happily announces that she has grown two millimeters since the last time they were there. When the seamstress warns them about kidnapping incidents, Anya becomes fearful and says she does not want to go to Eden Academy anymore. The seamstress apologizes for scaring Anya and reassures her. Five days later, Loid receives a call and asks Yor to take Anya to pick up her uniform at the tailor.

At the boutique, Anya proudly poses in her new uniform. They stop by the park on the way, and Anya shows off her new uniform to the parkgoers. Yor suggests they go to the market so that she can try cooking dinner. After they finish shopping, Anya goes outside to wait while Yor pays the cashier. While exiting, Anya is ambushed by several delinquents intending to extort Yor for money. Before they can do anything to Anya, Yor chases them off and hugs Anya to comfort her. Anya asks Yor to train her so she can stay strong for school. They return home, and Yor trains Anya with physical exercises, much to Loid's confusion when he returns home.

On Orientation Day, the Forgers listen as a faculty member gives a speech congratulating the new students. Anya is assigned to Cecile Hall and called forward to line up with the other students. Anya stares at Damian, causing him to think she is interested in him, and she turns away in anger. Soon after, she meets Becky Blackbell, though Anya ignores her after hearing Becky call her a baby. During the school tour, Damian continuously harasses her, and she eventually becomes upset enough to punch him. When Henry rushes to see the commotion, Anya uses Damian stepping on Becky's foot as an excuse for why she punched him. Afterwards, Henry informs Loid and Yor of her incident and that she was punished with a demerit. While the group photo is taken after the orientation, the Forgers are unable to hide their distressed faces

The next morning, Anya peeks nervously at Loid from behind a wall, feeling guilty about her actions. Loid reassures her that she can learn to be more careful about fights now. After eating breakfast, Loid and Yor prepare to send Anya off on the school bus, and Loid reminds her to apologize to Damian. At the entrance, she meets Becky, who is just getting dropped off by her chauffeur. Amazed by her car and driver, Anya begins to call her "milady," and Becky suggests picking up Anya with her chauffeur next time. On the way to classes, they encounter Damian and his friends walking from the school dormitory. Becky bickers with Damian's friends and pulls Anya away in disgust before Anya can apologize to Damian.

In class, Anya is ostracized and feared by her classmates due to her punching Damian, with only Becky willing to sit beside her. Anya becomes scared due to their negative thoughts about her, but Becky happily suggests that they become best friends, which causes Anya to stop listening to their thoughts. During roll call, Anya senses Damian looking at her and turns around in confusion. Anya later falls asleep during class, causing the teacher to think of her as a delinquent. Becky wakes her up to go to Science class, and Anya tries to look around for Damian to apologize, but Becky reassures her that she will protect her, so she does not need to apologize. Anya realizes Loid has followed her to school in disguise when she reads his mind.

Throughout the rest of her day, Loid continues to remind her to apologize by altering her textbook, leaving notes, and writing on her food. When Becky interferes with Anya trying to apologize, Loid uses the PA system to call Becky to the student hall. With Becky's interference gone, Anya goes to Damian's table to apologize. Nervous from the pressure and telepathically hearing Damian's friends insult her, she burst into tears while apologizing. Because his pride wouldn't allow him to accept it, Damian angrily rejects her apology after realizing his developing feelings for her and runs away while blushing profusely, leaving Anya in confusion.

Loid is tutoring Anya in Math to improve her chances of becoming an Imperial Scholar. She tries to read Loid and Yor's minds to get the answer but is overwhelmed by his numerous thoughts, while Yor's thought process goes off on a tangent. Sick of studying, she runs off to her room. Loid and Yor later try to coax her out with cocoa, but she remains in her room. Later on, Loid enters her room when she does not respond and finds her sleeping at her desk, having studied on her own. He carries her and tucks her into bed while she mutters in her sleep.

Secret Police Arc
In Math class, Anya confidently calls out the answer, but she turns out to be completely wrong. At home, Anya is watching an episode of Spy Wars. She can correctly say that Bondman's gun has two-eighths of ammunition, to Loid's excitement. Yor rushes home to tell them that her younger brother is visiting that night. Seeing the "lovey-dovey marriage kit" prepared by Loid, Anya exclaims that her parents will kiss and embarrasses them. As the clock strikes nine, Anya becomes sleepy while waiting for Yuri, and Loid carries her to bed. During Yuri's visit, Anya briefly wakes up from the loud noise caused by Yor hitting Yuri but quickly goes back to sleep.

The next day, Anya discovers her uncle's identity as a member of the secret police by reading Loid's mind and is dismayed to find out she missed out on something exciting. When she sees Loid becoming distrustful of Yor due to her brother's true identity, Anya tries to reassure him but can’t do so directly due to her hiding her powers and instead says Yor’s cooking is bad. Before getting on the school bus, Anya tells Loid and Yor to get along. When she returns home, she is happy to see Loid and Yor have resolved their differences. Loid tells her they have cake, and she becomes excited, causing Loid to warn her not to upset the neighbours downstairs.

Stella Star Arc
Before the start of class, Anya and Becky are arguing with Damian, Emile, and Ewen, while Henry gives a look of disappointment having to deal with this so early in the day. Anya returns home to tell Loid a rumor she heard from Becky that she has a chance to earn a Stella Star in P.E. class. Loid doubts this, while Yor is determined to help an excited Anya do well, and they train for the dodgeball game. Yor puts Anya through several training methods and teaches her a "killer move." On the day of the game, Anya, Becky, and Damian's gang have a bit of an argument before they line up on the court. Henderson announces that he will oversee the interclass dodgeball match between Cecile Hall and Wald Hall as Coach Bobby is out sick.

Bill Watkins, a large muscular student from Wald Hall, starts eliminating all the members of Anya’s class, leaving only Anya, Damian and another student in the Cecile Hall team. While Damian plans to survive and stand out, Bill decides to go after Anya next. He throws a low ball at her, but she reads his mind and jumps to avoid it. He throws three more shots, but they all miss her, with the final one hitting the unnamed student. Damian compliments her dodging skills, while Anya inches closer to out of bounds. Becky notices this and yells at Anya to watch out for the people out of bounds. Anya tries to step back but trips and falls.

Bill sees his chance and hurls a ball toward Anya, yelling: "Die!!!". Damian looks at her pitifully, but ultimately jumps in the way of the ball and tries to catch it. He ends up failing to catch it, eliminating himself from the game. Damian realizes that he can't get MVP now, which upsets him. Anya acknowledges Damian’s action and announces that she will get revenge for his 'death.’ She thinks back to Yor's training and uses her "killer move," throwing the ball at Bill. However, she instead throws the ball towards the ground, and it bounces towards Bill, who quickly throws the ball right back and hits her, making Anya’s class lose.

While the students of Wald Hall celebrate, Anya is comforted by Becky, who congratulates her for her effort. Damian and his friends walk over to Anya and yells at her for wasting his sacrifice like that, shocking Anya while Becky defends her.

The next day, Loid sees Anya's grades and realizes she failed all the tests. Loid calls out to her, but she tells him she's busy because she's watching Spy Wars. He turns off the TV and picks her up, and carries her away so they can go to study at 5 o'clock like they promised, but Anya starts throwing a tantrum. They begin studying, and Loid scolds her for being unable to spell correctly. Yor joins them, takes a look at Anya's test, and compliments her for her score being not bad despite still being a failing grade. Anya had difficulty with the idiom test because she read another student's mind who also failed.

She plans in the future to learn who is the best at each subject so she can read their mind for tests. Loid considers having her grades changed in the school's records but realizes it would be suspicious if she didn't also have some real improvement, and he also believes that if he does that, her classmates will resent her for her unearned accomplishments. Anya reads his mind and contemplates whether it's a good idea or not for her to cheat by reading her classmates' minds.

Doggy Crisis Arc
Anya, Loid and Yor arrive at Kemono Park. Anya is excited about getting a dog from a pet shop but sees several ferocious-looking dogs prepared by WISE. Anya is completely disinterested in getting a dog like that, so the WISE agent informs Loid that there's an adoption fair at the adoption shelter today. He decides they should check it out, but he gets a signal from another WISE agent about new orders, so he tells Anya and Yor to go on ahead to the animal shelter while he uses the bathroom. Having read his mind, Anya pushes that he'll take a while in the bathroom, so they should go ahead, which Yor agrees to do.

Anya and Yor arrive at the animal shelter, and after seeing all the animals there, Yor wonders why Loid didn't take them there in the first place. Anya runs around excitedly, looking at all the animals available. While Yor begins talking to a worker at the shelter about what breed she recommends, Anya notices a man walking by with Bond. Anya reads Bond's mind and sees herself and the rest of the Forgers and wonders how she and her family were in the dog's mind. Anya contemplates telling Yor about it but decides to go after the dog herself.

Anya heads into a building and finds a handful of dogs tied on leashes, including Bond. While looking at the dogs, she overhears Keith and the other students discussing their assassination plot. While Anya is listening in, another student, Kurt, catches her listening in, so he grabs Anya and shows her to the other students. The others ask what they should do, and Keith pulls out a knife, telling them they just need to take care of her. One of the other students tries to stop Keith, but he tells them they need to silence her, so she doesn't rat them out. However, when he tells Kurt to silence her, Kurt gets attacked by Bond, who moves to protect Anya afterward.

Keith tells Bond to step away from Anya so he can kill her quickly. However, Anya reads Bond's mind and sees a premonition showing a phone ringing which takes the terrorists off guard. Right after seeing that premonition, the phone rings with a call from Kim, one of their co-conspirators. After they answer the phone, they notice that Anya and Bond are nowhere to be seen, as they escaped while the group was distracted.

Anya, riding on Bond's back, escapes the hideout. She asks herself how he knew the phone was going to ring, and she soon realizes that he can see the future. Anya tries to redirect him towards Yor so that she can protect them, but Bond keeps heading off in a different direction. Keith yells at the others for letting Anya and Bond escape and tells Kurt to come with him, bringing another dog so they can chase after them. Anya tries to get Bond to stop, but he keeps running, so she instead tries directing him towards the police, but they end up heading in a circle and running back to Keith and Kurt.

Anya tries to get Bond to turn around, but before they can, the dog attacks the two as Keith grabs onto Bond's leash. Keith directs Kurt to kill Anya, so he grabs her and prepares to snap her neck. Suddenly, Yor comes up from behind and knocks Kurt to the ground. She yells that Anya is too young to get married, believing that they were one of the kidnappers she heard about on the news, while Anya is relieved.

Keith sends his German shepherd after Yor, but she makes an intimidating face at the dog which scares it and Anya, who bursts into tears. A commotion breaks out near the alleyway, so Keith runs away. Yor attempts to give chase, but remembers that she can't leave Anya behind. Yor asks Anya what happened, and Anya tells her that the men are terrorists who are planning to use bomb dogs. After hearing this, Yor makes sure to check for bombs on Bond, which she finds none. Yor tells Anya that she's glad Anya is safe because she was worried. Anya apologizes for leaving on her own. Yor decides they should report this incident to the police and so she asks Anya for some information about the terrorists to give to the police.

While Yor is on the phone, Anya reads Bond's mind and sees Loid disappear from the first vision, with Anya and Yor depressed by this. She then sees another premonition where the clock tower rings, followed by an explosion in the city. In the aftermath, Anya is at the bomb site and sees Loid dead and buried under rubble. A news broadcast announces that the terrorists succeeded in their assassination plot, with a war bound to happen. Anya is shocked by this and tries to think about what she should do. She thinks about telling Yor but doesn't want to let her know about her and Bond's powers. Anya decides to run off with Bond in order to save Loid. She lies to Yor about needing to bring Loid toilet paper before rushing off. Yor quickly finishes her call and chases after Anya. After losing Yor, Anya and Bond rush to the clock tower so they can arrive before Loid and save his life.

Anya, riding on Bond's back, rushes to the clock tower. After arriving, she tries to get Bond to show her the future again, so she'll know when the explosion happens. However, Bond is too tired from running, so Anya tries to remember the positions of the clock hands but realizes that she can't tell time. She decides to ask a man sitting on a nearby bench when the clock tower bell will ring. He tells her it will ring in less than 30 minutes, so she decides they must hurry. Bond picks up the scent of Keith and drags Anya around a corner so they can hide. Keith's dog smells and sees the two of them but doesn't alert Keith. While Keith gets into his car, Anya learns of his plans and the bomb he left in the clock tower.

Anya rushes to where he planted the bomb. She reaches for the doorknob, but Bond barks at her to stop, reminding Anya that opening it would trigger the explosion. Anya decides to climb through a small window by the door and prepares to disarm the bomb. She realizes, however, that disarming it will not be as easy as in her cartoons as all the wires are the same color. She notices some ketchup on a table and decides to use it to leave a warning about the bomb for Loid: writing "NO" at the top half of the door and a bomb and explosion on the bottom half. After completing her message, Anya and Bond leave the building before Loid and the other agents arrive, anxiously waiting in the hopes that he got her message.

The time of the explosion arrives, and Bond's premonition returns to a future with Loid alive and well, as Loid prevented the explosion, thanks to Anya’s message. Anya celebrates with Bond, knowing that they saved the future. Afterwards, Anya and Bond head back to the pet shop.

Outside the pet shop, Anya and Bond run into Loid and Yor, each coming from different directions. Loid asks why they weren’t at the adoption fair, and they tell them their excuses. Loid asks about Bond and learns how Yor and Anya got caught in the terrorist crisis. After apologizing for being “holed up in the restroom”, he scolds Anya for running off on her own but also confirms her safety. Anya tells him that Bond saved her life and Loid thanks him. Handler and another WISE agent disguised as SSS agents approach the family and tell them they need to ask the Forgers some questions. After they answer the questions, Handler tells them they'll need to take the dog. However, Anya refuses the idea, telling them that the only dog she wants is Bond. Loid attempts to convince her to pick another dog, but Anya has become too attached to him after he saved her life. She tells them that if she can't keep Bond, she'll never go to school again, shocking Loid and Handler.

To everyone's surprise, Handler relents. When Anya asks Handler if they will treat the dogs well, Handler affirms it and asks Anya to take good care of Bond. The family decides to head home after such a long day, and Anya proudly thinks to herself about how she saved the world by stopping the bomb and saving. The next day, the dog is dropped off at the Forger Residence and welcomed by the Forger Family. After Bond starts looking down, Anya asks if he’s nervous and assures him that he’s part of the family now. He excitedly barks at this, and Anya gives him a big hug.

The following morning, Anya asks Loid if it's true that she won't be getting a Stella Star for helping to stop the terrorists. Her father confirms this, telling her that they need to keep it a secret for the sake of East-West relations. Hearing this, Anya decides to continue with the plan of becoming friends with Damian. She plans to tell him she got a dog in hopes he'll invite her to his house so they can compare dogs. Anya enters Classroom 1067 and greets Becky. Anya tells Becky that she got a dog, and she proceeds to ask some questions about the dog before inviting Anya to a dog playdate.

Believing her plan will work, Anya dashes to the hall to find Damian. She tells him that she got a dog, to which he questions why he should care. Anya, feeling that the world is doomed because her plan failed, drops to her knees in despair. Deciding to indulge her, a bashful Damian asks for her dog's name. Anya enthusiastically gets up from her knees and prepares to tell him her dog's name but realizes she hasn’t given him one yet. She tells him the dog's name is "Dog," and Damian leaves, telling her she is unfit to own a pet. At lunch in the cafeteria, Anya asks Becky how to name a dog. Becky tells her to just name her dog after something like a flower or food. Anya immediately comes to the name "Peanut," but Becky shoots down the idea because it doesn't fit how her dog looks. Anya imagines her dog and then comes to the name "Furry," but Becky shoots it down again and tells her to let her parents handle the name.

Anya arrives home and gets trampled by Bond Forger, who is excited to see her. Loid suggests taking Bond for a walk, and Yor mentions a dog park by the library. On their way, Anya tells Loid she wants to walk Bond, but he tells her to wait until she's older, so Bond doesn't end up walking her. Loid explains to her that a dog needs constant discipline and that she has a responsibility to care for him for his whole life. When Loid asks if she has given their dog a name, Anya tells him she hasn’t, so he suggests using plosives like "B," "P," and "T." When they arrive at the park, Anya enthusiastically wants to play fetch with Bond. She throws her shoe in the hopes that Bond will go after it but ends up having to retrieve it herself. She thinks maybe it's because he doesn't have a name yet, so she goes around the park asking dog owners about their dogs' names to help come up with one.

Loid calls out to Anya, telling her it's time to go. Anya comes over but then realizes that her gloves are missing. Bond sniffs out the gloves and finds them in another dog’s mouth. Anya yells at the dog to give her the gloves back, but the dog growls at her, seeing it as their ”treasure” now. Bond approaches the dog, scaring it, and it drops the gloves, allowing Bond to pick them up and return them to Anya. Anya imagines a similar scene from Spy Wars where Bondman recovers Princess Honey's stomach warmer from the League of Evil, making her realize the perfect dog name.

When they get home, Anya wraps a bowtie around Bond's neck and tells the family his name will be "Bond." The whole family, including Bond, seems to approve of the name. Anya gets out Bond's food and pours it into a bowl for him. While he eats, she sneaks in a bite of his food but realizes that it doesn't taste very good. She notices that he's fidgeting, so she takes him to his "toilet," where he uses the litter box to poop. Afterwards, the two head to the TV to watch Spy Wars. While they play, Loid tells her to be ready to study once he's out of the bath. While he does this, Anya and Bond fall asleep, curled up against each other on the floor after all that playing.

Midterm Exams Arc
While while waiting for Yor to come home, Anya sits with Bond and asks Loid when they can eat. When Yor arrives, Loid asks if she'd like dinner, but she declines and tells him and Anya to eat without her as she's not hungry. As Yor walks to her room, Anya reads Bond's mind and sees the future where Yor is crying, which makes Anya wonder why.

The next day, while Loid is training Bond, Anya tells him that she is hungry, causing him to realize how late it has gotten. Yor arrives shortly after and proudly announces that she will be making dinner, to Anya and Loid's shock. She cooks a southern stew, and after hesitantly taking a bite, Anya and Loid are surprised when it is good and tell it to Yor. While they enjoy the food, Yor starts crying out of happiness. Afterwards, Yor presents them with her "Yor Forger original" dish. Anya and Loid excitedly eat it before collapsing to the ground.

Becky greets Anya Forger as they head to school for the morning. Becky asks if Anya saw the episode of Berlint in Love that aired last night, but Anya replies that she only watches cartoons. Becky begins talking about how childish Anya for not even knowing what love is. Anya sees Damian and his friends behind them and has a plan to befriend him. Yesterday, she had a new family photo taken with Bond so she could impress Damian with him. She drops the photo on the ground and brings attention to it. However, Damian and his gang walk ahead of them, ignoring her. Becky picks it up and after seeing Loid, is smitten by his appearance. Becky keeps the photo for herself and runs off with it while Anya tries to get it back.

The students go to their arts-and-crafts class, supervised by Henry, as the art teacher is sick. For their class, they are assigned to make a three-dimensional model with the provided materials, the theme being “animals.” Choosing the groups at random, Henry puts Anya in Damian’s group. Because Becky still has the family photo, Anya decides to make a Bond model for Damian to see. After finishing her paper Bond, Anya shows it off to Damian. Indifferent to it, Damian asks if she always names her garbage, putting Anya into despair. Anya reads Damian’s mind and sees his desire to make a griffin model based on his family crest and show it off to his father. Anya imagines herself helping him make it and showing it off to Damian's father with him. Anya tells Damian that she'll help him and he can use all her paper which shocks him as he didn't expect her to submit her Bond model. Anya tells Damian that she just wants to help him, which makes him blush.

Damian instructs Anya to make the hind legs of the griffin and gives her the plans for the model. She instead proceeds to make jet engines which angers Damian. He tells her instead to make feathers for the wings, to which she makes a few different-sized slips of paper. He shouts at her for wasting his paper and brings the attention of Henry, who tells him off. While the students continue working on their art projects, Anya decides to convert her Bond model into a small female griffin to pair with Damian's griffin, an apology for the wings. After submitting their projects, Damian and Anya learn that his art project won first prize, as the people who saw it believed it was a powerful vision of the nation's rebound from war. Anya tells Damian that his parents will probably be proud, but Damian tells her that he has no intention of showing the art to his parents.

Henry Henderson announces to the students that their midterm exams will be in two weeks and that the top two students in each subject will receive a Stella Star, while students who fail an exam will receive a Tonitrus Bolt for each failed one. Henry proceeds to return their history quizzes from the day prior and is disappointed to show that Anya got 13%, telling her to stay after class for remedial lessons. Meanwhile, Damian got 91% which he brags to Anya about, to her irritation. In her remedial class, Anya realizes that she should read Damian’s mind when taking history quizzes and tests and begins laughing to herself, upsetting Henry, who gives her extra homework.

On the bus ride home, Anya notices the full moon and starts panicking. Rushing home, Anya asks Loid what phase the moon will be in two weeks, to which he replies it will be the new moon. Anya is internally shocked by this, as her power doesn't work on the day of a new moon due to her weakness known as "Eclipsing," meaning she won't be able to cheat during the exam. Anya attempts to get Bond to show her the questions from the future but instead sees hamburger steak, tonight’s dinner. Distracted by this, Anya forgets about her worries for the rest of the night but wakes up anxious the next day, realizing she hasn't studied yet.

Yuri starts by giving her hard problems to solve, and Anya gets them correct by reading his mind and surprising him and Yor. Anya is asked why she even needs to study, but after remembering that she won’t be able to read minds at the exam, she tells him it was dumb luck, which he hesitantly accepts. They try studying again, but Yuri gets upset after realizing she isn’t that bright. However, after Yor asks Yuri for help and Anya exaggerates her love for her, Yuri begins being kinder with his critiquing. The two of them continue studying, but after hitting some roadblocks, Yuri questions whether Anya likes studying or not. Anya questions him right back after saying she hates it, to which he replies that he studied hard so that he could take care of Yor. Yuri explains to Anya that “knowledge is power” and she can be or do anything she wants if she studies. Anya first gets confused with Yuri’s last words because he told her it’s the “whole enchilada” but she understood that it’s the “swole Chihuahua”, but later gets very excited about the concept of studying and the two intensely continue studying. After an exhausting study session, Yuri questions whether Anya has mastered grammar yet to which Anya questions what grammar even is.

Realizing that he wasted his time, Yuri angrily storms out the house, but comes back for a brief moment to eat all the cookies Yor had just baked. Anya contemplates the idea that if she had been smarter, maybe she would've been able to disarm the bomb herself during the terrorist incident. She decides to study hard by herself. Loid returns home later to learn that she had been studying in a beginner foreign language workbook, a subject which isn't part of the midterm exams. Two weeks later, the students at Eden Academy are sat down in the exam hall and prepare to take their exams. Anya gives Becky a statement of confidence and tells her that she’s ready to blow her away with her “swole Chihuahua” before Henry announces that the midterm exams will now begin.

When the midterm scores are posted in the Quad, Becky finds herself next at 46th place and then looks for where Anya placed. However, having read Loid's mind, Anya already knows she didn't fail despite not doing very well on the tests. Becky ends up finding Anya placed at 213th out of 228 students. Damian attempts to console her by stating she didn't fail in any of the subjects before leaving. Despite Anya being proud of her achievement, Loid decides that he'll need to be stricter with her studies. In his thoughts, Loid says that Anya barely kept Operation Strix alive, and after hearing this, Anya gives him a smug smirk. In response, Loid tells her to think about her grades and if she'll be smirking after their studying session, to her shock.
