Ace was frustrated and confuse at the same time...

Ace: What do you mean?

Juniper: No wonder you have superhuman abilities.

Juniper stood up and walks away.

Ace: H-Hey! Aren't you going to tell me why?!

Juniper glanced back at Ace.

Juniper: Follow me.

Ace followed without a word.

***
After a 10 minutes of walking, they finally reached their destination.

Ace: Is this—

Juniper: Yup, the council library.

Ace(scared): Aren't we trespassing on a bunch of really, really, strong wizards' place.

Juniper: Don't worry, it's just a library stationed here.

Ace: Sooo the whole council thing was just a name.

Juniper: Nope. This is one of hundred library stationed in this country.

Ace(chibi): Seriously?!

They finally went inside of the library to find some answers.

Juniper went on to the fourth floor, row 67 bookshelf no. 115. Ace also accompanied Juniper.

Ace: To be honest, this is one huge library if you ask me. What are we searching for anyway?

Juniper: The documents on a certain incident that happened a long time ago.

Ace was confused all of the sudden.

Ace: Why would a document like that be in a public library?

Juniper: The thing is, the 1st and 2nd floor of the library is for the public, while the 3rd and 4th floor is a private area, wherein the documents on missions, crimes, and incidents are placed for information reasons that are not be announced in public.

Ace: I see, but how come we can get in here?

Juniper was suddenly silent...

Juniper(chibi): Shit! I forgot!

Ace(chibi): What the hell!!

Guards suddenly appeared and surrounded both of them.

Ace: For a guild master, you're pretty much an airhead..

Both Ace and Juniper got kicked out of the library.

Ace: Jeez. We got kicked out in the place where we can gather information.

Juniper: I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Ace again looked confused. Juniper took out in her shirt the document they were looking for.

***

They both went back into the guild, to try and find out the secret behind Ace's power.

Ace: Can I ask you something?

Juniper: Sure.

Ace: How would you know that I'm not gonna last any longer?

Juniper didn't respond and just kept on turning the pages of the document.

Ace: So you're gonna ignore me just like that?

Juniper: Well, I heard about the illegal experimentation plant in the other realm that was raided by the council. After recovering the test subjects, a few days later, one of them exploded...leaving a crystal shard.

Ace: Seriously?! You knew about it and you didn't tell me when I was telling you the whole story!

Juniper(chibi): Hehe, I fell asleep while you were just about to start telling about it, all I heard was that you are part of the experimentation blah blah blah etc etc.

Ace: *facepalm* Then what was the point telling the story. I am impressed that you're not even surprised about it.

Juniper: Well, I've heard and seen worst. Your life doesn't even compare to what I've experienced a long time ago.

Ace was speechless. And he decided to hang out with Julie and the others.

Ace: Well, see you later.

Juniper: Sure. Oh, and by the way...

Ace: What is it?

Juniper: Don't let your guard down. And don't forget, tomorrow is the day to your test.

Ace: Oh yeah, I forgot. See you then.

Ace left and headed straight at the girl dormitory and to look for Julie.

Juniper: *sigh* You can come out now, Trent.

Trent then, came out of the closet.

Trent: Man, this is one cramped up closet.

Juniper: So... What do you think of Ace.

Trent: Not bad... When I released my murderous aura, he was scared, but he has the will to fight on. I guess he passed the first trial.

Juniper: But something just kept on bugging me...

Trent: And what is that, if I may ask.

Juniper: He thought of another person when he felt your aura. And that person has the same name as him...

Trent: You're right... He will get in trouble if he finds out.. It's better to leave it in the shadows... For now...

***

Ace finally arrived at the Girls' Dormitory.

He was amazed how big it was when he went inside of the dorm.

Ace: I never knew the girls' dormitory was this bizzare..
Not to mention, there's a fountain in front of the entrance.
Heh, reminds me of the mansion back home, but it's much more spacey than here.

Ace goes to the second floor to find room 34 (aka Julie's room).

After he went to the cornerhe finally found her room.

Ace: Yo, Julie! Wanna hang out?

No response...

Ace: Maybe she was out?

Ace was about to leave, but he noticed that the door was unlock.

Ace: hmm? Weird... If she's out...why would she left her door unlock?

Ace suddenly remembered the guild master's words;

"Don't let your guard down".

Ace kept his guards up and he busted the door open.

Ace looked around and no one was there.

He suddenly heard sounds coming from the bathroom.

Ace: *gulp* Please don't tell me the culprit is a pervert.

Ace opened the door.

Ace: Your peeping days are ove—

He was interrupted when he saw both Gretel and Julie in the shower. And it seems to be that they're both touching each other's breast.

Julie: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!

Gretel: WAHHHH!

Ace: I-It's not what you think. I thought there was a—

Julie punched him before he could even explain.

Ace(chibi): Well, I guess that's what you call a misunderstanding, huh.
