Enter the blue door on the left in the nexus. Head south and then west when you see a blue plant. Then, walk between two light blue plants. In the new area, go north. Head southwest (more west than south) to find a line of cherries. Walk between the cherries until you are taken to a new area. You can only access this area once, so make sure you don't leave before obtaining the effect. Go southeast (more south than east) and interact with a pink-haired NPC beneath a tree.

Go a bit west, then north and interact with a green winged bug. Then, head a little north, then east and enter a building surrounded by vines. Inside, interact with the table, then a mask. This section is pretty linear, so just go right until you see an open door in the school. Huá Jū will refuse at first, but enter it to get to a dark classroom.
