Spy X Family Chapter 96 recap

In Spy X Family Chapter 96, Ewen and Emile, the architects of the Damian Dance-Partner Selection Committee, devise a competition where girls vie for a chance to dance with Damian. Anya joins the contest as well. The first challenge requires contestants to display balance and rhythm, with Anya's surprising stillness drawing attention.

With Loid's discreet help, Anya excels, though at a cost to Loid's hand. Concerned, Ewen and Emile consult Damian, who insists on fairness. Anya surprises in the obstacle course challenge but faces skepticism. In the final quiz about Damian, Anya cleverly uses her mind-reading ability, narrowly winning. Damian blushes and reluctantly agrees to dance with Anya.

Their dance takes an uncomfortable turn, leading to a heated debate about Anya's mind-reading. Loid wishes for them to make amends but decides to give them space to work it out. Damian doubts Anya's powers, but Anya shocks him by confessing she can indeed read minds, even though Damian remains skeptical. Despite the turmoil, a unique connection forms between the two. The chapter concludes by noting that their friendship level had increased by 100 points.
