"What..?! Did you say Mr. Ro is on the Archimedes?" Khun asked, a bit hopeful now that the former proctor that had helped them back in the floor of test was here. But, it was a naive thing to think. The next words that came out of the swordsman's mouth had to be the worst thing yet.

"They're going to melt Baam... to create an ignition weapon with an Irregular's power... Viole's considered as a prize now."

Just as the currently blonde haired light bearer turned to gather his teammates, Hatz revealed yet another crucial information.

"I met Ellie back then... I'm sure of it."

This made him stop in his tracks, but strangely, he was hesitant to confront them right now. Khun wanted to bombard them with questions about her. Yet even after all this years, he can't get in terms with what she had done to him.

That's why that piece of jewelry she had left for him is kept hidden, away from his sight.

"Yeah.. Who knew that girl really went and found Baam? But I guess she got lost on her way back to us..." The son of Khun left soon after that. Shibisu was right. That woman was a wayward soul that does anything as she pleases.

Even her decision to leave them was entirely done on her own.

The plan was to summon Viole as a prize in the Item Shop.

"Can you really communicate with your friends with that?" Horyang asked skeptically, and honestly, even Orla was the same.

Despite the fact that it can be useful in this situation, she would never use it herself. Especially after learning that it can be manipulated by someone entirely for their own purposes, this bad feeling isn't unfounded.

"Yes, only if we use the same keywords."

"Do you think he'll figure out our plan?"

The big guy asked yet again. Now, not to brag or what not- knowing the man on a personal level, it's like an insult to his face. So the yellowhead can only laugh in response to his question, while Yuto answered his question with a fact.

"He will. He's an outstanding regular."

"It really led us here... Behind that door.. is that really the place where Viole is trapped?"

Emily led them to an entrance below the mountain, and seeing as there are members from Team Mad Dog guarding the door, they came to the right place.

"It looks like Team Mad Dog has moved, just like she said. How did she know all that?" Novick once again did all the talking. He's quite the detective, always asking.

'This is quite terrifying.. does that mean that everyone that came in contact with Emily can be traced?'

Truly, it is a very suspicious gadget. Orla was right in for doubting, she will never ever use that. Who knows, it might even be an ignition weapon for all she knows.

Her pocket lit up, a message from Yuto that states the signal the men of the group were waiting for.

"It's the signal. Go, boys."

It was an easy work. Not that the yellowhead was surprised, considering who she's currently with. They're possibly the strongest duo anyone could fight against. No doubt they'll breeze their way in.

Well, she spoke too soon.

The moment they entered the next room, a huge robot greeted them.

"Ah.. a level 85 patrol.. named Blue Titan." Orla cited, her eyes already roaming the surroundings for any loopholes.

But guess all their luck ran out, the only way to get to Viole was through that red door.

"I'll take care of this one. You go inside and get Viole out." Horyang volunteered to stall the big ass robot. Novick was quick to do so, the only woman on the other hand, had other plans.

"I'll try to dislodge its main gear to stop it from functioning. Try your best to hold out till then." She exclaimed, flying her way to the patrol's head before he could say anything in return.

There's no guarantee that Novick will be able to break down a door enforced to open with a specific key. It's something she learned while in FUG. So while he's finding a way, she'll try to get their worries off the big guy first.

The giant attacked, raising its fist to hit Horyang. The man took the hit and held them in place, even resorting to using the weapon in his right arm to do so. As more time passed, it was getting harder to control. And Novick still hasn't found a way.

On the other hand, Orla held her hand out to touch the golemn-like patrol. Yet the moment she did, her vision blacked before becoming all white- it was a mess.

She screamed out, holding her head in pain as she shut her eyes.

"Orla?! What's happening??!" Horyang shouted in worry. It was the first time he ever saw her like this. Then he noticed, the giant's other hand reaching to take the floating woman.

"Move-!"

Suddenly, there was a blast of water like shinsu hit the patrol robot, it was successful in bringing it down with just that attack. Viole had opened the door on his own.

While all their attention was on the slayer candidate, a certain yellow-haired woman had finally calm down. She had done nothing and that frustrates her deep down, but she was happy that he was fine.

And stronger it seems.

Orla flew down and hugged the boy in relief, he immediately reciprocated the act.

"I'm glad you're fine.."

"Orla... Mhmm? Did you change something in your hair? There's a strand of white in it."

"Huh..? Really?"

The moment she released Viole from her death grip to look at her hair, the others took this opportunity to check on him.

'How..? Is their something that triggered the spell?'

It appears to be a white color among the sea of yellow, enough to think that she got herself some highlights. But as she takes a look closer, it shines the tiniest bit. This makes her wonder how it'll differ in the light. But aside from her worries in spells, there's another thing.

'Or... is it just because I'm getting old?'
