**[00:02] Flick**
Send them one by one?!
**[00:04] Nole**
Yes. Sophia's orders.
**[00:07] Nole**
She told us to send in the
transmogrified phantoms one by one.
**[00:12] Joe**
What the hell is she thinking?
**[00:14] Joe**
That's essentially begging for
them to be defeated individually.
**[00:19] Flick**
In the end, she's only a scientist.
**[00:21] Flick**
She doesn't know what a
real battle is all about!
**[00:26] Flick**
Call her here immediately!
**[00:28] Nole**
She went out to check the defense systems,
**[00:31] Nole**
and she's not answering her
Sounding Stone either.
**[00:34] Flick**
What?!
**[00:35] Flick**
We're up against Thousand Tricks here!
**[00:37] Flick**
We can take all the precautions we want,
**[00:39] Flick**
but if the leader is incompetent,
we can even lose this easy fight!
**[00:44] Joe**
Flick, even though our mentor said
that he gives her full authority,
**[00:48] Joe**
winning is what is crucial here.
**[00:52] Flick**
That's right.
**[00:53] Flick**
At this rate, she will embarrass our mentor.
**[00:57] Flick**
Let all the phantoms loose!
**[00:59] Flick**
We'll crush them in one go!
**[01:01] Both**
Yes, sir!
**[01:02] Flick(M)**
*Sophia Black.*
**[01:04] Flick(M)**
*I'll show you how to do battle.*
**[01:11] Sven**
So these are the guys who
made that slime-like thing...
**[01:16] Gark**
It only took a single injection
to create such a monster, huh?
**[01:22] Sitri**
Let us get right to the point.
**[01:24] Sitri**
Your boss is the Master of Mages, correct?
**[01:28] Sitri**
My name is Sitri Smart.
**[01:30] Sitri**
We can guarantee your safety, so please
tell us where he can be found.
**[01:35] Hos**
A-As if we'd tell you!
**[01:37] Tage**
We'll happily give our lives for our mentor!
**[01:41] Sitri**
I knew it.
**[01:42] Sitri**
You're Noctus Cochlear's disciples.
**[01:45] Sitri**
I'll have you know that I've been
following the Akashic Tower for a long time.
**[01:50] Sitri**
I know about you as well.
**[01:52] Sitri**
I don't want to have to
use uncivilized measures.
**[01:55] Sitri**
Where is Noctus Cochlear?
**[02:00] Sitri**
I see.
**[02:02] Sitri**
Why don't I use this, then?
**[02:05] Sitri**
This potion should
loosen your tongue a bit.
**[02:08] Adoria**
Stop right there, Sitri Smart.
**[02:09] Adoria**
Isn't that an illegal potion?
**[02:12] Adoria**
It can muddle someone's consciousness,
force a confession, or erase memories.
**[02:16] Adoria**
It can also potentially be used
for brainwashing. It's very dangerous!
**[02:19] Adoria**
Don't tell me you concocted this yourself?
**[02:22] Sitri**
That's irrelevant. If we don't hurry,
Noctus Cochlear will get away.
**[02:27] Sitri**
This is for justice.
**[02:29] Gark**
Easy, Adoria.
**[02:31] Gark**
Sitri.
**[02:32] Gark**
I understand where you're coming from,
**[02:35] Gark**
but you can't just do whatever
you want to prisoners.
**[02:39] Gark**
We're not criminals.
**[02:41] Gark**
You, of all people, should
understand that the most.
**[02:44] Sitri**
Excuse me, sir.
**[02:46] Sitri**
It was a joke.
**[02:48] Sitri**
This really is just colored water.
**[02:56] Sitri**
See? Nothing happened.
**[03:00] Sitri**
I'm fine.
**[03:02] Sitri**
I mean, I do have a resistance
against colored water.
**[03:06] Sitri**
More importantly,
**[03:08] Sitri**
it seems we've run out of time.
**[03:39] Sitri**
"Perfect Play."
**[03:41] Sitri**
This isn't your ordinary water pistol.
**[03:43] Sitri**
It's a relic given to me
by someone important.

**[03:46] Krai**
"I Want to Rush In When It's Over."
***SIGN*** Let This Grieving Soul Retire
**[04:25] Hos**
It's finally time!
**[04:26] Hos**
This is the end for you all!
**[04:28] Hos**
A bunch of useless hunters
standing in the way of progress.
**[04:31] Hos**
Just die already!
**[04:35] Sven**
You were right.
**[04:37] Sven**
It wasn't just that one.
**[04:39] Sven**
So now what do we do?
**[04:40] Sitri**
There are several types of magic
barrier that these phantoms can have.
**[04:44] Sitri**
We need to narrow down which element
works on which area in order to break it down.
**[04:51] Sven**
You sound downright relaxed.
**[04:54] Lyle**
It's faster than the previous one!
**[04:56] Sven**
The color's different, too.
**[04:57] Sitri**
This means its base is likely different.
**[04:59] Sitri**
Those with shields,
please take to the front line!
**[05:03] Lyle**
What?
**[05:04] Sitri**
This is necessary to determine the
force field's output and direction.
**[05:07] Sitri**
Please let go as soon as contact
is made with the shield.
**[05:11] Sitri**
Otherwise, it could rip off your arm!
**[05:13] Lyle**
Are you serious?
**[05:14] Lyle**
This really *is* just like he said.
**[05:20] Sven**
Lyle!
**[05:23] Sven**
Lyle!
**[05:24] Sitri**
Mages, please slow it down!
**[05:28] Sitri**
It's a revolving force field.
**[05:30] Sitri**
It turns clockwise.
**[05:32] Sitri**
Varies by body part?
**[05:33] Sitri**
If it blows you away with just one touch,
**[05:36] Sitri**
melee fighters don't have a chance.
**[05:38] Gark**
So it would do that to my axe, too?
**[05:41] Gark**
What are we going to do?
**[05:42] Gark**
Wait until it runs out of magic?
**[05:44] Sitri**
No.
**[05:45] Sitri**
Considering its size and the
amount of mana material it has,
**[05:48] Sitri**
it could easily last another hour.
**[05:50] Sven**
What a huge pain.
**[05:52] Sven**
Now I see why Krai wanted to send Ark here.
**[05:56] Sitri**
If we concentrate all our magical attacks
on one spot and hit it multiple times,
**[05:59] Sitri**
or if we can temporarily nullify
part of the magic barrier,
**[06:03] Sitri**
we could get through.
**[06:05] Sitri**
But that would require
an extremely high level of skill.
**[06:08] Sitri**
And with this current crew...
**[06:09] Sven**
The next one's coming!
**[06:13] Gein**
There's more?!
**[06:16] Henrik**
Seriously, now?
**[06:18] Sven**
Sitri, let's retreat.
**[06:20] Sven**
Our people are exhausted.
**[06:22] Sven**
We can't hold out any longer.
**[06:24] Gark**
Running away won't be easy, either.
**[06:26] Gark**
Even if we call in the mages for
reinforcement, it might be too late.
**[06:31] Sitri**
You're right.
**[06:32] Sitri**
I'm *so* done with this.
**[06:34] Sitri**
I never thought people this stupid
would be in the Akashic Tower.
**[06:38] Both**
What?
**[06:39] Sitri**
Mages, stop the magical attacks.
**[06:41] Sitri**
Everyone, step back.
**[06:58] Gark**
What is going on?
**[07:00] Sitri**
It's just as I expected.
**[07:01] Sitri**
They probably attacked the hunters
**[07:04] Sitri**
in order to replenish their depleting
levels of mana material.
**[07:08] Sitri**
And the thing here with even more
mana material than the hunters is...
**[07:12] Sven**
Now I get it.
**[07:13] Sven**
Phantoms are masses of mana material.
**[07:42] Gark**
The only word for this is "asinine."
**[07:45] Sven**
Not sure if we're lucky or what.
**[07:47] Tage**
I can't believe it!
**[07:48] Tage**
The fruit of our great research...
**[07:50] Hos**
The transmogrified phantoms
have such a weakness?!
**[07:54] Talia**
Why...
**[07:55] Talia**
didn't they just send them
in one after another?
**[08:00] Noctus**
I'm sick of your utter stupidity!
**[08:04] Noctus**
I told you to treat Sophia's
words as if they were my own.
**[08:09] Noctus**
To make matters worse,
you didn't realize your mistake
**[08:11] Noctus**
and used up all the
transmogrification potion!
**[08:14] Flick**
P-Please forgive us.
**[08:16] Nole**
We had no idea what had
happened on the battlefield.
**[08:19] Sophia**
* Why did I choose not to send multiple*
* transmogrified phantoms at once?*
**[08:24] Sophia**
*If you think about it, it's obvious.*
**[08:27] Sophia**
*It's not that I lack experience in battle,*
**[08:29] Sophia**
*nor am I giving out random directives.*
**[08:32] Sophia**
* Flick, you simply lack*
* what we call "imagination."*
**[08:38] Noctus**
Oh, well.
**[08:39] Noctus**
That was not the only weapon in our arsenal.
**[08:42] Noctus**
What is our next move, Sophia?
**[08:45] Sophia**
*The situation has already changed.*
**[08:48] Sophia**
* Not only has Sitri Smart*
* joined the investigation party,*
**[08:52] Sophia**
* but a former level 7 hunter,*
* Gark Welter, has as well.*
**[08:56] Noctus**
What?!
**[08:57] Joe**
The Association's branch manager
has come to the front lines?
**[08:59] Sophia**
* Though he is long retired, he is*
* unmistakably one of the true heroes.*
**[09:04] Sophia**
* Now that we have lost*
* the transmogrification potions,*
**[09:07] Sophia**
*our fight is going to be more difficult.*
**[09:09] Flick**
Sophia, why you...
**[09:10] Noctus**
Stop it, Flick.
**[09:12] Noctus**
You embarrass yourself.
**[09:13] Flick**
F-Forgive me. I just...
**[09:15] Noctus**
So what do we do now?
**[09:17] Noctus**
Do we retreat?
**[09:19] Sophia**
*No.*
**[09:20] Sophia**
*We cannot walk away from this empty-handed.*
**[09:24] Sophia**
* That would influence your standing*
* within the Akashic Tower as well.*
**[09:28] Sophia**
* Most importantly, our side*
* has had hostages taken.*
**[09:31] Sophia**
*We don't know when they'll talk*
**[09:33] Flick**
How dare you, Sophia?!
**[09:35] Flick**
Those two are also seekers of truth who
have sworn their loyalty to our mentor!
**[09:39] Flick**
They will reveal nothing!
**[09:41] Sophia**
*I would also like for that to be true.*
**[09:45] Sophia**
* But even without those*
* two spilling anything,*
**[09:48] Sophia**
* Sitri Smart will eventually*
* find our headquarters.*
**[09:51] Sophia**
* Given that fact, it'll be a full-on battle*
* where we have to strike first to win.*
**[09:56] Sophia**
* Let us use the Malice*
* Eaters to overpower them.*
**[09:59] Sophia**
* We'll draw the survivors into our reach,*
* use our trump cards, and destroy them all.*
**[10:03] Sophia**
* If we kill them all,*
* there will be no one left to talk.*
**[10:08] Noctus**
An interesting idea.
**[10:09] Noctus**
But the Malice Eaters are
still only partially trained.
**[10:13] Noctus**
For the best results, we'll need
someone to command them.
**[10:17] Sophia**
*Flick, it's finally time for you to shine.*
**[10:21] Sophia**
* You're welcome to utilize*
* all of the creatures.*
**[10:23] Sophia**
* Please feel free to fully*
* unleash your power.*
**[10:27] Sophia**
* I truly cannot imagine a mage of your*
* skill failing to succeed if you do.*
**[10:31] Flick**
I know!
**[10:33] Flick**
Sir, I promise that I will
teach those hunters a lesson!
**[10:51] Talia(M)**
*Sitri Smart.*
**[10:53] Talia(M)**
*A rare breed amongst hunters.*
**[10:55] Talia(M)**
*An alchemist, just like me.*
**[10:58] Talia(M)**
*Fitting of her former second name, "The Prodigy,"*
**[11:03] Talia(M)**
* she was a person overflowing with*
* overwhelming talent and passion.*
**[11:08] Talia(M)**
*She was a born genius and a hard worker.*
**[11:13] Talia(M)**
*In order to get closer to the truth,*
**[11:15] Talia(M)**
* she was willing to conduct any experiment,*
* no matter how dangerous or difficult.*
**[11:19] Talia(M)**
* She never gave up, no matter*
* how daunting the situation,*
**[11:22] Talia(M)**
* doing everything she could*
* within the confines of the law.*
**[11:26] Talia(M)**
*She was so extraordinarily smart and pure*
**[11:30] Talia(M)**
* that I remember feeling*
* something akin to fear*
**[11:33] Talia(M)**
*and a tiny bit of jealousy next to her.*
**[11:36] Talia(M)**
*I could never become her.*
**[11:41] Sven**
Something on your mind?
**[11:44] Talia**
Sven...
**[11:45] Sven**
This afternoon was really intense.
**[11:47] Sven**
I never would've guessed that the
anti-slime stuff wouldn't work.
**[11:50] Sven**
I must have embarrassed you, too.
**[11:52] Talia**
Oh, not at all.
**[11:54] Sven**
The problem is that Krai always
leaves out vital information.
**[11:58] Sven**
Like saying something is "slime-like"
when it's not a true slime at all.
**[12:02] Sven**
He really needs to rein in
this Thousand Trials thing.
**[12:06] Talia**
That's true.
**[12:08] Sven**
So, I've been wondering this the entire time,
**[12:11] Sven**
but why do they keep staring at you?
**[12:14] Talia**
Um, I don't really know.
**[12:17] Sven**
Maybe because your hair stands out?
**[12:20] Sven**
Well, anyway, if anything happens,
let me know right away.
**[12:23] Talia**
I will.
**[12:28] Talia**
What...?
**[12:33] Gark**
Don't push yourself too hard, Sitri.
**[12:36] Sitri**
Gark.
**[12:41] Gark**
We may have mobilized a great many hunters,
but this is still just an investigation.
**[12:47] Gark**
If we're up against the Akashic Tower,
**[12:49] Gark**
this isn't something that the
Association can handle by itself.
**[12:54] Gark**
Depending on their next moves,
**[12:56] Gark**
we should avoid overextending
and pull back for a—
**[12:58] Sitri**
I have figured out the rough
location of the enemy.
**[13:00] Gark**
What?
**[13:04] Sitri**
Well, anyway...
**[13:06] Sitri**
By considering the flow of the ley lines,
the concentration of mana material,
**[13:10] Sitri**
the difference in altitude
and geological features,
**[13:13] Sitri**
and where the slime-like things appeared,
**[13:15] Sitri**
this cliff here seems to be
a very likely place.
**[13:18] Adoria**
Such an in-depth analysis in such
a short time, all by yourself.
**[13:22] Adoria**
This is unbelievable.
**[13:23] Sven**
Well, that's Sitri.
**[13:25] Sitri**
So, did I get it right,
**[13:29] Sitri**
disciples of Noctus Cochlear?
**[13:31] Hos**
Th-That's pure conjecture,
and it's completely wrong!
**[13:35] Tage**
Totally off! That's not even
remotely where it is!
**[13:39] Sitri**
Looks like I guessed correctly, then.
**[13:41] Sitri**
It would even be possible to attack before
Noctus Cochlear has a chance to escape.
**[13:45] Sven**
If we've come this far,
we should give it a shot.
**[13:49] Gark**
Yeah.
**[13:49] Hos**
S-Stop it!
**[13:51] Hos**
There's nothing there!
**[13:53] Hos**
Our mentor isn't there!
**[13:55] Tage**
We can't let them go over there!
**[13:57] Tage**
Sophia, hurry and untie our restraints!
**[13:59] Sven**
Sophia?
**[14:01] Sven**
Who's that?
**[14:02] Marietta**
Who knows?
**[14:03] Henrik**
It must be one of their friends nearby.
**[14:05] Sitri**
That's right.
**[14:07] Sitri**
If she'd just come out already,
things would be easier.
**[14:10] Gark**
Do you know her?
**[14:12] Sitri**
I do.
**[14:13] Sitri**
She's Noctus Cochlear's
disciple and my nemesis.
**[14:18] Sitri**
Sophia Black.
**[14:20] Sitri**
No matter how hard I look for her,
she is as elusive as a shadow.
**[14:25] Sitri**
If we don't apprehend Noctus and Sophia,
this kind of research will never end.
**[14:30] Sitri**
Simply put, those two together are
the vilest and most evil mages of them all.
**[14:35] Tage**
As if Sophia would ever
lose to the likes of you!
**[14:38] Hos**
She may be an infuriating
woman, but she's got skills!
**[14:41] Hos**
A level 2 failure like you stands no chance!
**[14:44] Sitri**
It is my ineptitude that has allowed
her to evade capture until now.
**[14:49] Sitri**
But I will not lose.
**[14:51] Sitri**
I swear on my honor that I will slam
her into the South Isteria prison!
**[14:56] Gark**
Sitri... you...
**[14:58] Sitri**
It doesn't bother me.
**[15:01] Sitri**
I am not blameless for that one case.
**[15:07] Liz**
Krai, I love you!
**[15:11] Krai(M)**
*I wanted to go even later,*
**[15:12] Krai(M)**
* showing up when basically*
* everything was already done.*
**[15:17] Liz**
Let's hurry up and go!
**[15:18] Liz**
Get moving before Si dies!
**[15:20] Krai**
She's not going to die.
**[15:22] Krai(M)**
*If anyone's dying, it's me.*
**[15:24] Krai(M)**
*I couldn't charge any of my relics.*
**[15:26] Krai(M)**
*I don't have enough Safety Rings, either.*
**[15:29] Krai(M)**
*I'm in a pickle before we even start.*
**[15:31] Tino**
Master, we're coming up
on the White Wolf's Den.
**[15:34] Krai**
What?
**[15:38] Krai(M)**
*I can't see a thing.*
**[15:40] Liz**
Come on, let's go.
**[15:41] Tino**
Master, it's dark and dangerous,
so I was thinking I could...
**[15:44] Tino**
take your hand...
**[15:46] Liz**
How dare you?!
**[15:48] Liz**
It'll be a million light years before
you're worthy to hold his hand!
**[15:52] Liz**
Save the dreams for bedtime!
**[15:53] Liz**
Actually, shut up and go to sleep!
**[15:55] Krai**
Liz.
**[15:56] Krai**
Light years are a measure
of distance, not time.
**[16:00] Krai(M)**
*Owl's Eye.*
**[16:03] Krai(M)**
*This should do the trick for now.*
**[16:06] Krai(M)**
* I don't know how long this*
* relic will hold up, though.*
**[16:09] Liz**
Just leave it to me, Krai!
**[16:12] Liz**
No matter who or what comes
at us, I'll kill 'em dead!
**[16:16] Liz**
You need to guard him, too!
**[16:18] Tino & Liz**
Y-Yes!
**[16:18] Tino & Liz**
Not that I know what a useless
shit like you could even do!
**[16:21] Krai(M)**
*That reminds me.*
**[16:22] Krai(M)**
* Sitri said something about the entire*
* investigation party getting wiped out.*
**[16:26] Krai(M)**
*I wonder if they're okay...*
**[16:29] Gein**
I see. So Thousand Tricks isn't coming.
**[16:33] Gein**
The level 8 that you and
Obsidian Cross look up to...
**[16:38] Gein**
If only I had recognized
his greatness earlier,
**[16:40] Gein**
I wouldn't have ended up like this.
**[16:43] Sitri**
Krai is basically someone who was
born to become a treasure hunter.
**[16:48] Sitri**
I'm sure he'll eventually get to level 10.
**[16:51] Gein**
Level 10?!
**[16:53] Gein**
Now I want to meet him even more.
**[16:55] Gein**
He must be really strong.
**[16:57] Sitri**
He is.
**[16:58] Sitri**
But strength is just one of many factors.
**[17:02] Sitri**
Even if Krai was hypothetically weaker than
a sand rabbit in combat, it wouldn't matter.
**[17:08] Gein**
A sand rabbit?
**[17:11] Rabbit**
Bun bun?
**[17:13] Gein**
I don't think I quite understand.
**[17:16] Sitri**
That's just how amazing he is.
**[17:18] Sven**
Speaking of, Sitri.
**[17:19] Sven**
You didn't bring that magical creature
you always have with you today?
**[17:24] Sitri**
Oh, if you mean Killiam, he's
undergoing maintenance right no—
**[17:40] Flick**
See that?
**[17:41] Flick**
That's my high-level magic attack,
**[17:43] Flick**
Calamity Thunder!
**[17:45] Flick**
You don't need that woman's defense
system as long as I'm around.
**[17:55] Flick**
Looks like I used a bit too much mana,
**[17:57] Flick**
but my spells kill in one hit, anyway.
**[18:00] Flick**
Killing the entire investigation
party will make my mentor happy t—
**[18:04] Sven**
You bastard...
**[18:06] Sven**
So you're with the Akashic Tower!
**[18:08] Flick**
I guess you hunters are tough.
I'll give you that much.
**[18:12] Flick**
But it's over now.
**[18:13] Flick**
I'll bury you, along with the humiliation
that woman inflicted upon me!
**[18:18] Sitri**
I can't believe it.
**[18:21] Sitri**
You used an area-of-effect
spell when we have hostages.
**[18:25] Sitri**
I kind of knew I was no replacement for Krai.
**[18:30] Flick**
Y-You!
**[18:31] Flick**
Didn't you get hit by my Calamity Thunder?
**[18:34] Sitri**
Let me reply with a question: why do you
think that spell would render me immobile?
**[18:39] Sitri**
Spells of that level aren't rare in the
high-level treasure vaults we frequent.
**[18:44] Flick**
Lies!
**[18:46] Flick**
You're saying my trump card—
that my Calamity Thunder...
**[18:49] Flick**
is nothing special?
**[18:53] Sitri**
It means that you simply lack
what we call "imagination."
**[19:25] Sven**
B-Branch Manager!
**[19:28] Gark**
Sorry I took so long.
**[19:30] Sitri**
Those with healing spells, please get to it!
**[19:33] Sitri**
If any hearts stopped
beating, give them a kick!
**[19:35] Sitri**
Please hurry!
**[19:38] Gark**
I can't believe Sitri shoots
pressurized potion to heal people.
**[19:44] Sven**
Clever use of a water pistol.
**[19:49] Noctus**
That idiot!
**[19:52] Noctus**
Sophia told him to take
*all* the Malice Eaters!
**[19:57] Noctus**
Why did he only take one?!
**[19:59] Noctus**
Why can he not follow a single command?!
**[20:01] Noctus**
Does he still not see the
difference in ability?!
**[20:03] Joe**
Even with Flick's Calamity Thunder,
the damage to their troop was minimal.
**[20:07] Joe**
It seems they keep marching on.
**[20:11] Joe**
Everything is running counter
to our expectations.
**[20:14] Joe**
The transmogrified phantoms were
defeated, our location was easily deduced,
**[20:17] Joe**
and not even Calamity Thunder was effective.
**[20:19] Joe**
It's as if Thousand Tricks had engineered
everything to turn out like this.
**[20:24] Noctus**
Those insufferable hunters!
**[20:26] Nole**
Sir, you at least need to escape.
**[20:28] Nole**
We'll hold them off using
the remaining Malice Eaters.
**[20:33] Noctus**
Not yet.
**[20:35] Noctus**
We've still got an ace up our sleeves.
**[20:38] Noctus**
We have Akasha.
**[20:39] Noctus**
Not to mention, we still have Sophia.
**[20:42] Noctus**
We have no need to abandon this
place until we've completely lost.
**[20:46] Noctus**
Witnessing my disciples fight to the
bitter end is also my responsibility.
**[20:50] Joe**
Master of Mages!
**[20:52] Nole**
Sir!
**[20:53] Noctus**
In the name of the Akashic Tower,
destroy the investigation troop!
**[20:57] Noctus**
Go forth and win, my disciples!
**[21:00] All**
Yes, sir!
**[21:02] Noctus**
Right, Sophia?
**[21:09] Sven**
What a bother.
**[21:11] Sitri**
There's no doubt. Noctus Cochlear's
headquarters are further into this cave.
**[21:16] Sven**
So get through them before
they get us first, huh?
**[21:19] Sven**
Just like Krai, you're
asking for the impossible.
**[21:22] Gark**
Not for the former "War Demon," it isn't.
**[21:28] Gark**
Sven, Sitri, entrust your lives to me.
**[21:32] Gark**
The three of us will go in first.
**[21:34] Gark**
The mages will back us up.
**[21:35] Gark**
First, we have to cut down the chimeras.
**[21:37] Gark**
Then everyone enters to crush them!
**[21:42] Gark**
I can't let this end with
Liz mocking me like that.
**[21:46] Krai**
What is this?
**[21:48] Liz**
Looks like traces of some
kinda lightning spell.
**[21:52] Liz**
A pretty mediocre one, at that.
**[21:56] Tino**
Given the scale of this thing,
I don't know if "mediocre" is the word...

This is it! The moment of truth!
**[23:37] Sitri**
The Akashic Tower still

The earth splits, and
something jet-black appears?!
