"So he's arrived," Reborn chuckled.
Verde stepped out of his machine. "You haven't change a bit. You're still backstabbing me all this time. No wonder I frequently sneeze."
The rest all stared at Verde.
"Okay, I you don't like jokes," Verde sounded offended. "Let's get straight to business."
"Hmpf, that's more I like it," Mammon mumbled.
Verde roamed his eyes around to examine everyone. "So, where is my discovered treasure that you are saying?"
His eyes landed on Hikari. "Oh, a new one."
"She's actually the owner of your discovered treasure," Takeshi muttered.
Hikari felt uneasy. She looked at Hayato.
Hayato recognized that look. He knows that she's saying, Letting Verde investigate won't be a good idea.
He wanted to protest but Colonnello went ahead.
"Your discovered treasure looks like a fusion of the first and second version of the Sky Ring, kora!" Colonnello says.
Verde's eyes widened. He seems to remember that he did discover a thing like that. "Let me see it."
Everybody looked at Hikari. She doesn't know what to do.
Reborn stepped forward. "Please show Verde your ring, Serizawa."
Hikari looked around. She sighed and reluctantly knelt down for Verde to see her ring. "H-Here…"
Verde took a good and careful look at the ring. He went nearer and touched it. His eyes widened. He stepped backwards and his eyes says that he's reminiscing some memories.
"W-What is it, Verde?" Tsuna asked quivering.
"I remember," Verde answered. "I sold this ring to a man named Serizawa Himaru. His wife, Serizawa Yukari, picked the ring for him. Himaru is a rich business man and investor, and a collector of many things."
"I recall that part, alright," Reborn said. "Go on."
Hikari was so overwhelmed. Hearing the names of her parents that she didn't even see made her homesick.
"But of course, before I sold it, I studied it first," Verde added. "That ring is owned by Vongola Primo himself."
Tsuna was becoming enthusiastic. He was hooked up with the topic. "Primo?"
"It was called 'The Ultimate Ring'," Verde went on. "Because only an ultimate person can make use of that ring."
"Define the 'Ultimate Person' you are referring to," Hayato demanded.
"The 'Ultimate Person' refers to a person who has seven energy waves," Verde answered.
As Verde said this, Hikari was becoming more and more uneasy to stay in the conversation and the training itself. Hayato looked at her and knows what she is feeling as he looked at her in the eyes.
Verde kept on speaking. "A person who can freely use the seven Sky Attributes. That's the 'Ultimate Person'. It is not necessary if he's a guardian or not.
"I also sold it because there is no person like that. But it's true Vongola Primo never used it because he can't. There is no existing person that can use the boss' flame along with his guardians' flame."
Mammon laughed. "So you're saying that you sold it because it's already useless?"
"More or less," Verde chuckled.
"What if Gokudera used it?" Fong suddenly questioned. "He has five energy waves. Can't he activate it?"
All of them realized Fong has a point but Verde shook his head. "I've tested that before, too, just to see if it's true. But it didn't work. The theory says that a person can ignite flames on that ring if and only if he has seven energy waves."
Fong nodded. "It is said in the story that Serizawa used both Lightning and Rain Flames and flames were ignited on the ring, too."
All of them were in surprise. They have connected the dots.
Verde slowly turned to Hikari. "C-Could it be…?"
They all turned to Hikari.
"Could it be that you're the 'Ultimate Person'?" Verde demanded desperately.
