The platoon was becoming strong, to put it lightly. No scratch that, they were the strongest platoon in Zuellni. Nina was as motivated as any, loosening her lasso on her comrades. Sharnid had took up a new close range combat guns, and to a small platoon like theirs, it was beneficial. Felli...well, Felli hadn't changed much, but she was much easier to deal with nowadays and it kept Nina content. And Layfon was no match. Even after refusing a katana, the guy kept his kei level maintained for a regular dite.

" I have to write the article." Mifi said placidly. She didn't want too, but if she wouldn't, why would the weekly Look'n pay for their lodgings.

"Go to hell." Shouted Naruki. She picked up her pillow and threw at Mifi. Before Mifi could do anything, Naruki left. Meishen stared at Mifi. Mifi turned her head away.

"Give me dirt on Layfon Alsief. It would be a new angle."

"But-"
"I will pay for lodgings at the training centre. Get them there."

"But-"

"No buts. He is a curious persona. I need information on him."

"Yes sir."

She began to write.

Felli avoided trash magazines like the Look'n like plague. But when Felli saw Layfon's face on the cover, she couldn't help but buy one.

'Layfon Alsief: The darkness behind' It had said, overlapping a photograph of Layfon blasting off with Kei in a match.

"Fon Fon?" She murmured compulsively.

Fingers trembling in excitement, she turned the pages.

"What is it Felli? You look extra pissed today." Said Nina.

"I read something."

"About what?"

"About Layfon."

Nina's mouth opened in an o of surprise.

Felli handed her the book.

Much celebrated Layfon Alsief has quickly risen to be the star fighter of Zuellni. Alas, we have judged the book by it's cover.

Layfon Alsief originates from Glendan. No one knows his purpose to come to Zuellni.

Untill our reporters found out.

Layfon was one of the reverred Heavens Blades keeper in Glendan. Few know about it, but the heavens blades are warriors who possess strength beyond human imagination.

As the citizens of Zuellni know, Layfon has been known to be strong, very strong. His kei can overturn the outcome of a match. That power is not of a normal militiary artist.

Someone who has seen him fighting, can see the experience behind his move. A beautiful and incredible kei stroke hides a tinge of sadness and darkness.

Reports say that he was banished from Glendan. No one knows why, but it is a story to look into.

"We need to talk to him about this." Muttered Nina, getting up from her bench.
