Jovi starts off explaining their infiltration plan at the auction in three weeks,
"I've seen some team bonding the last couple of days, so we'll infiltrate in teams, first off,"
Jovi continues, "Mari, Saint, Prince and Jane, you take the back."
Prince nods,
"Mela, Capone and Zodiak, you'll enter through the roof."
Saint glances at the three, he hasn't spoken to them yet, even though they're on the same 'team'.
"Me, Skai, Ivy and Crowley will enter from the front."
'That guy looks scary…' Saint refers to Crowley, he looks like a puppet, he has wide eyes, wearing a black leather jacket and a black fedora.
Jovi continues, "Now we must stick to the plan, If we see Renai or Nas. You don't fight, you leave immediately."
Mari tippy-toes to Ivy, "I want to be on your team, can I change?" She asks sarcastically,
Jovi sighs heavily and facepalms,
Mari and Ivy hold hands and dance around him,
"Alright, alright, let's leave the boss alone, yeah?" A guy with short light-blue hair says as he steps up to the three,
Mari and Ivy stop and stare at him in disgust,
"Who said you can talk to us, Skai?" Ivy responds,
Mari laughs and Skai brushes them off,
'Wow, they seem close… I hope nothing goes wrong…' Saint thinks,
Jane notices Saint staring at the crew, she leans forward,
"What's on your mind?" With a smile,
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing…" Saint responds startled,
"Hmm, okay. Prince is waiting out front for you, you're starting your training today, right?"
"Yeah." He responds shortly,
"So, I won't be seeing you until the auction?" Jane asks, tilting her head, looking up at Saint.
"I guess so… but It won't be that long, I'm sure." Saint responds softly,
"Well, do your best, 'kay?" Jane flashes a kind smile,
Saint blushes and thanks Jane, he then makes his way to Prince.
Once outside, he finds him sitting on a rock outside the warehouse,
"You ready?" Prince asks,
"Let's go."

Oshoku gets a knock on his door, it's Beretta.
"Principal, Mr. Vino requests to see you immediately, I can teleport you there now."
Oshoku stares at the floor for a second, before slowly getting up.
"That would be great, thank you, Beretta."
They flash into Mr. Vino's penthouse suite, they get escorted to Vino's room nearby.
Oshoku enters alone, Mr. Vino is surrounded by women in his bed once again,
"Okay ladies, we'll continue this after my meeting," He says as he gets up from the pile of bodies, Oshoku looks away uncomfortably,
He puts on a robe and shakes Oshoku's hand,
"How are things going?"
"Things are going well… the students are currently choosing their mentor,"
Vino pours up some liquor for himself,
"I see, that's good. But I didn't ask you for a status report, you see, some of my 'friends' have been very busy lately, and with the auction coming up, I need reinforcements. So whenever you get the chance, send one or two instructors to this address, in three weeks." Vino says,
Oshoku stares back at him,
"From the school? Right… I'll see what I can do." Oshoku responds hesitantly,
"Great!" Vino slaps Oshoku in the back of the neck,
"You can see yourself out, right?"
"Y-yeah…" Oshoku responds annoyed,
…
Later, Oshoku assembles all the instructors in the assembly hall.
Oshoku clears his throat before speaking,
"I have gotten word that Mr. Vino requires reinforcements for his auction in Noche Sieta. I would like to offer anyone who wants the opportunity. This could be a chance to move up in ranks, or if you do a good job, maybe Mr. Vino wants to take you under his wing. Now, any volunteers?"
Brugger immediately stands up,
"Principal, send me. I'll take the job." The other instructors go quiet, they gossip,
"Everyone that's talking about me, keep talking. I'm not here for no raise, no credit, nothing. I just have a feeling someone will be there. And I want to deliver my revenge as quickly as possible." He says, in a serious tone.
Oshoku gets taken aback,
"Very well, I didn't expect one of our strongest instructors to be so eager to join. Looks like we won't need anyone else."
Brugger sits back in his seat, Beretta beside of him whispers,
"What about the students that chose you as their mentor?"
Brugger closes his eyes and crosses his arms,
"This is my priority right now." He responds coldly,
…
Meanwhile, Ari is getting chased by two students, one that flies with Mana wings, and the other phases through walls,
'They're gonna catch me any second now…' He thinks in a panic,
Suddenly two hands grab a hold of Ari's legs, stopping him in place, while the flying student flies at top speed aiming at Ari.
'I have no choice, fuck…'
"Scorpio Style: Viper Pulse."
Ari's fists ignite with purple Mana, he quickly touches the student's hands that's holding him in place, quickly devouring his Mana,
'That should do it…'
Ari hears muffled screams through the concrete floor, the student underneath him got crushed to death.
His eyes widen in shock, but he quickly realizes the situation he's still in.
'Gotta dodge bird-man!'
Ari rolls and barely manages to dodge the flying student's rapid kick.
He gets up,
"Hey, are you gonna get down so we can fight?" Ari says cockily,
The student laughs,
"Why would I do that?"
"So I can beat the shit out of you." Ari says in an innocent tone, child-like tone,
"I'd like to see you try." The student responds, he uses his wings to cause a whirlwind in the prison hallway.
The wind pushes Ari back and even cuts his skin slightly,
"Goldcrest." Ari says mockingly,
Then a giant nail flies behind the student and pierces him through the chest, he immediately falls to his death on the concrete floor.
'Huh? What the fuck just happened?!' Ari thinks,
Monita steps up,
"I think that was my target…" She says giggling,
'Crap… it's Monita again… at this rate she'll get me out of the way too…'
