"W-w-what are y-y-you doing h-here?" Arme exclaimed an astonished look plastered on her face.
The tall onyx bearing hair turned to her, "Oh, hi Arme."
And at that moment, Arme found everyone staring at her, Elesis, Amy, Ryan and Jin laughing their asses off, Ronan, Lire and Lass chuckled and Exii gave a smile.
"There's something I don't know, right?" her mouth slightly opened.
Seighart turned to Exii, "You haven't tell her?" Exii nodded.
"Tell what?" Arme asked regaining her composure.
"Arme, Seighart is secretly a part of Grand Chase. He is the Chase's tracker."
"Figures." Arme rolled her eyes. But then it rolled back to Exii and Seighart, "So... There are two Swordsmen at Grand Chase?"
"No," Exii replied, "He's classified as a Gladiator."
Arme raised an eyebrow, "Gladiator...?"
She cleared her throat, "Yes, indeed, he is still a Swordsman. But he's their Clan's magic inheritor. Just like you."
"Ah." Arme exhaled her gaze slowly darting outside.
Just then, the knight master realized her mistake. But then she chose to change the subject, "Report." He turned Ronan,
"I'll be waiting outside." Arme quickly turned to the door, opened it, and then slammed it hard. Everyone stared at her, Elesis raised her right hand, "I'll go get the idiot." After that she proceed to follow the so-called 'idiot.'
Ironically, the meeting continued even without the two,
Ronan then stepped forward and handed a box...
"And what is this?" Exii asked, examining the box.
"A music box." Ronan answered, but then Exii was to open it, "W-wait!" he warned.
Three high notes...
And it was too late.
Practically, everyone stared at Ronan and then to Exii.
Her normal fiery orbs widened, and at the same way Elesis and Ronan saw it, she did too.
The bad part was that she dropped it.
"Lass, you okay?" asked Lire from his left. And hastily, he picked the box up.
He dusted the cover and ran his fingers through the carvings...
"Lass..." everyone stared at him as he opened the box...
Without saying a word, his eyes were also able to see it.
Everything about the amethyst haired girl. His mouth opened, but then it closed again, sighing. From his pocket he got a silver key embed with a ruby and an amethyst.
And as if he owned it, he removed the items one by one and placed it aside. Ronan was shocked when Lass found a key hole INSIDE the box, and it fitted perfectly with his key.
"What is..." Seighart was cutted when suddenly the box let out immense brightness. Everyone covered their eyes, but the Knight Master's eye was able to adjust through it.
"_, this is Lass, my new container. Your job is to protect him."
"H-hi..."
A cold gaze and a shattered hope.
Pictures were coming from the box, scenes by scenes, by scenes.
There were a lot...
"See what happened? You could've just didn't help me. I can manage myself 'ya know."
"It's not like I could leave a little midget like you unattended."
"Really..."
"Yeah." Lass said. Exii turned to him sharply.
But then the mood changed, when they heard,
"How could you do this to me?"
"I- I- I'm s-sorry!"
"I-.."
The last note ended.
Lass looked up and found a little something... Like a piece of paper.
He opened it carefully read the words... After that he closed the note and sighed, "I love you... too."
Lire turned to him, a moment later; the chase was around him trying to get a hold of the piece of paper. Until...
"QUIETTT!" Exii slammed her desk. "Lass do you know who owns the box?" The Chase turned to her. And then they waited for Lass' reply, "Yeah, a friend."
"It's Arme right?" Ryan quickly added. Everyone turned silent.
"I... I don't know." he said sighing, "I never met Arme before... I just know it but..."
Seighart let out a sigh, "Cut the crap off." The chase turned to him. "Let's just continue the meeting." he added in suggestion, lessening the sarcasm in his voice.
"Okay." Exii answered, "Lire, Amy?"
Lire and Amy shuddered, "Well..."
"We interviewed a lot..." Amy started,
"But all of their thoughts are related." Lire continued.
"Like they were told which one to give..." And at this, Exii's face turned a lot more serious.
"Damn it." Seighart cursed, earning a stare from Ryan and Jin. He glared back. "You two feeble minded..." he muttered silently,
This automatically made Ryan spit out his information, "I guess... Well, It's similar to Lire and Amy's description... People gave us related info..."
"This brought us to a conclusion that maybe Kaze'Aaze isn't really dead." Jin sighed.
"Isn't dead? B-but we saw her die in front of us! With our own two eyes!" Lire quickly reacted.
"I was on that before." Jin let out a dark chuckle. And after that... Lire didn't spoke a word.
"So, it seems like our mission isn't really finished..." Says the fiery eyed woman.
"I was wondering why she died easily," Seighart commented yawning. Exii nodded.
"What... now...?" asked Amy... A hint of despair was present in her voice.
"For now, we do not know where the witch is. And by the information you gave, none of the towns people knows what happened to the witch nor about Arme... So it is assumed their memories are deleted."
"No," says Lass raising his head, "Chibisuke... She... Someone still knows her. So my opinion is that the towns people are hiding, and didn't lost their memories..."
"What was the man's name?" asked Exii, "I don't know his first name... But his last name is Drill." replied the white haired guy. This meant business.
"So... The town's people didn't lost their memories... but chose to stay silent... Such neutral innocence." The chase cringed by the Knight Master's use of words. "Dismissed. Lass, you can keep the box for now. And Seighart, I want you to stay, I'm going to give you another mission."
Seighart yawned, "Okay."
The freshmen yawned, "G'night," Ryan muttered,
"No it's already Four in the morning... So it should be G'morning..." Jin even cracked a joke.
Lire yawned and agreed, "Yup. I have to agree with that one."
"B-but!" Ryan whined.
"Good morning minna~" Amy chuckled cutting him off.
And lastly the azure and the sapphire exited the room.

"ARMEE!" Elesis' loud voice echoed to the lifeless corridors... She walked ahead, hearing the fade footsteps of the-not-so-stealthy-mage.
She was always caught up in saving this little mage from her delusions...
One... two... Three!
She stopped and turned,
Could it be...?
Your it!
"G-GHOSTS?" Elesis' eye widened and making a quick run, sooner or later she heard more...
Bang Elesis! I saw yoou!
"STOP FOLLOWING MEE!" yelled the red haired girl.
You can run but you can't hidee~
"STOP ITT!" she ran faster. She found a turn and quickly took it,
"Boo!"
"Ack!" she fell to the ground. At this reaction, the person laughed his/her ass off.
Elesis tilted her head, "Arme?" she exclaimed, "Well, damn!" she stood up and dusted her dress, "There is some spirit that is following me... Quick do something!"
Arme peaked at the direction where Elesis came from, but found nothing. "But there's nothing here..."
"Of course you couldn't possibly... Wait..." her eyes narrowed, "You did..."
A sheepish smile build up on Arme's face... "Gotta go, later!" and made a quick run.
"DON'T LATER, LATER ME YOU LITTLE DIMWIT!" Elesis ran after Arme,
"W-well, sorry!" Arme tried to say catching her breath,
"Oh it's too late for that!"
"H-hey! I said I was sorry!"
[x x]
On another side...
"Lass..." the white haired guy stared at the person beside him, Ronan. "Yeah?" he answered.
"You're staring at the box for a while now..." Ronan stated the fact.
"I... just-" he stopped and then sighed. He broke the eye contact and began pacing ahead...
"It was... Aisha, am I correct?"
Emotion stirred a bit inside of him... "Yeah... I guess."
Ronan paced ahead as a smile build up his face, "The only girl Lass love..."
"Not now... Ronan." Lass sighed, "Actually, by the way I saw everything... I'm not pretty sure if it's really Aisha or not..."
"Huh?" Ronan turned to him,
"Aisha was born in a wealthy family. she was raised as a normal girl and chose the path of being a living weapon. But the girl I saw... and you did. She was maltreated and was forced to do something she didn't really want to."
"So you mean you think its Aisha but you feel it's Arme?"
The white haired guy let out a sigh, "Technically, Yes. But one thing's for sure.. it wasn't Arme." he paused before continuing, "By the way, can you make hold of this for a while?"
"Sure." Ronan answered with a bright smile... "Thanks." Lass ended the talk as they reached the uppermost floor of the dormitory, "See you tomorrow..." They parted ways when...
"ARME! You idiot, bonehead, dunce, dullard, ignoramus, nitwit, blockhead, fathead, dumb-ass, dunderhead, numpty, lamebrain LITTLE MAGE! GET BACK HERE!"
"Wow, such words Elesis! You really learn a lot from me don't you?"
"I MEAN IT!"
Both of them stop in the middle of the corridor, Arme turned to Elesis, "Frankly… Only a true dimwit would say those things." After the she glowed in light blue and disappeared.
"Err… What's a dimwit?" Elesis paused and turned to her partner, Ronan sighed, "Whatever," she rolled her eyes and then shouted, "ARMEE!"
