Huh, what’s that mean?
|
Trein
Trein
|
Allow me to explain that.
|
Lilia
Lilia
|
Oh my? Trein, where is the headmaster?
|
Trein
Trein
|
He was also taken prisoner and taken away with the students by S.T.Y.X.
Until he returns, the school will be under my care.
|
Choice 1: What!? That headmaster, too!?
|
Choice 2: What in the world is going on?
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
What’s that S.T.Y.X. thing?
|
Trein
Trein
|
They are a non-governmental organization that doesn’t align themselves with any one nation.
They are a magical research institution that has long dedicated themselves to researching Blot.
|
All

*Gasp*
|
Jade
Jade
|
Blot research…
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Tsk… So that’s what this’s all about.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Huh? What’s it about?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Consider the students among the abducted.
|
Cater
Cater
|
They kidnapped Riddle, Leona, Azul and Jamil…
They didn’t take Dorm Leader Kalim, but Vice Leader Jamil. But Rook, who’s another vice, was also left behind.
|
Trey
Trey
|
Don’t you think it’s weird? What that means is that they likely weren’t after someone of a specific role, but rather...
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Blot research… Jamil… Ah!
They’ve all gone into Overblot!
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Yeah. So wait, does this mean that Vil also Overblotted?
|
Kalim & Rook
Kalim & Rook
|
………
|
Trey
Trey
|
But Riddle and the others should have received the counseling they needed to recover.
So why now?
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Hm. He might have known the reason behind all of this.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Who’s he?
|
Lilia
Lilia
|
The Warden of Grief Isle.
|
Rook
Rook
|
I’ve seen these wardens mentioned in a number of history books.
Does this mean you’re acquainted with this island warden shrouded in an eerie history since antiquity?
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
What are you talking about, Hunt? Are you slipping into sleep?
You yourself are acquainted with the warden.
|
Rook
Rook
|
?!
|
Lilia
Lilia
|
It’s not just Rook, either. Everyone here knows him.
|
Rook
Rook
|
Then could he be—
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
*Gasp*
When did I…lose consciousness?
Where’s the enemy?! I’ll have all of their heads!
|
*Crumple*
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
I can’t m-move… And it’s too dark to see anything! What’s going on here?
|
Azul
Azul
|
Calm down.
We’re short on space in here, so please calmly remain on your side, Riddle.
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
This voice… Is that you, Azul?
|
Azul
Azul
|
Yes.
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
How long was I asleep? Actually, where are we?
|
Vil
Vil
|
Unfortunately, there is nobody riding with us who can answer that question.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
It’s been three hours since they crammed all of us on this transport vehicle.
Since we can’t see outside there’s no way to determine how fast or which direction we’re flying.
All we can say is that we’re nowhere near the school anymore.
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
Vil, and even Jamil…
|
Vil
Vil
|
With Jamil not being a dorm leader, that gives a lot of meaning to who they gathered.
If I told you that Leona was here as well then that makes the riddle far too easy to solve, hm.
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
Leona’s here as well?
|
Leona
Leona
|
You spend the entirety of the last three hours sleeping like a baby on my lap and that’s how you greet me?
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
What?! Then this head-conforming pillow is... I-I’m so sorry! I’ll move right away!
|
Vil
Vil
|
Hey now, do take care to try to not bump into me.
|
Azul
Azul
|
…Alright, now that we’re all awake, let’s go over what we know.
In my case, a group armed with magical equipment suddenly appeared during my club activities and dragged me away.
And it appeared that they and Idia were acquainted.
|
Leona
Leona
|
I’ve got no clue how Idia’s connected to them, but I have some idea about who attacked us.
I’ve seen them several times in Sunset Savanna’s royal palace.
They’re the combat arm of S.T.Y.X., Charon.
Their job is to come in to capture Overblotted mages and whisk them off to the Island of Woe.
