~Speaker's POV~

[Sonetto] - Regulus's ship was sunk.

[Sonetto] - Landed ... Good. They landed safely.

[Sonetto] - Caspita! The rioters are still after them! If it goes on like this ...

Sonetto brought down her binocular as she turned around and face the Timekeeper and a boy next to the timekeeper who's just gleefully caressing a butterfly's wings. Sonetto eyed the boy but she sighed and shook her head bringing down on what she will say to the boy.

[Sonetto] - My apologies, Timekeeper.

[Sonetto] - Are you feeling better now?

[Vertin] - We're at ...

[Sonetto] - This is Battersea park. Chelsea is across the river.

[Sonetto] - I sent the backup request without authorization, and you were teleported here ...

Sonetto explained to the grey haired girl that she summoned her here and well a ritual was not ready and she fell into a coma. But let's focus on the boy shall we? Now Sonetto doesn't remember summoning another arcanist here. Let alone the boy's attire is like the Timekeeper's attire but more. . . Magician like? She pondered a while about that before continuing talking.

[Sonetto] - It was too rushed. The ritual was not ready. And you fell into a coma.

[Sonetto] - But it's an emergency! Please allow me to report and ask for backup!

[Vertin] - ... Go ahead please.

[Sonetto] - I'll briefly explain but ... who's that beside you?

Vertin looked puzzled as she looked beside her; there she found the boy now staring at them with slight interest before he waved a hello smiling at them both. Vertin was struck for a moment before remembering something; she was tasked to train the boy with her as a second and support "Timekeeper". Incase she well, fell in battle and or get struck in some missions. The St. Pavlov foundation decided to add a second timekeeper it seemed.

[Vertin] - *Sighes* I see now ... Sonetto this is Y/n; the second Timekeeper the foundation learnt about. We don't know what's his origins are but he seems powerful enough. I was tasked to teach him with some basics but as you can see ... You teleported us.

[Sonetto] - O- oh ... I'm sorry. Let me explain; the day before yesterday, we were resisted when registering Regulus in. Our teammates were also taken by her.

[Sonetto] - The bad news is that Manus Vindictae is onto her now.

[Sonetto] - We must rescue our teammates, complete the mission before the "storm", and return to the research center.

[Vertin] - But ... why me? I'm not like you and you know that well. I haven't been trained systematically for the battle of arcanum ... my classmate.

[Sonetto] - No, it's fine! ... You don't have to fight, Ms. Vertin!

[Sonetto] - *Turns to Y/n* ... Maybe y/n knows how to fight as well? He can use this as training no? And Ms. Vertin just please guide me by my side ...

[Vertin] - *Hug's Y/n like some cliché older sister* I don't want Y/n to fight. He's just like me anyways so it's impossible to make him fight-

[You] - Uhm ... If one can interrupt? I, in fact, can fight Teacher Vertin! My own mother teaches me how to.

Sonetto hummed in slight joy that she has a comrade with her to fight and Vertin on the other hand was conflicted if she wanted Y/n to really fight or not; but of course only worth trying than losing no?


So . . . What's to decide?

Let us fight! -

No I don't want to fight! -
