"Y-your son?! The person who single-handedly destroyed the country of Sabio? The person who drastically spread out the dangerous beasts? The mastermind behind most slavery? The drug dealer? And the person who caused the continent of Ingrid to fall into a helpless situation?!" Exclaimed Ulla with her almond eyes expressing utter shock. Despite her gentle appearance and soft-spoken nature, an unusual outburst came from her person staring at the Headmaster in disbelief. "Impossible... Impossible..." She made herself believe.

Staring at her pitifully was Ulyssis who could hardly piece things in his head of whatever Ulla exclaimed in her own unusual fastidious manner. But he was highly intrigued as to what her words meant as he was half ignorant to what had happened in Sabio, where he remained for quite some time for his education.

Unfazed by the revelation were Lea and Raize, or that their expressions were never that easily affected by many things in the world. Nevertheless, the room was filled with silence and only the sounds of the beastlings could be heard sparring outside. 

Nia's pair of mismatched hues of eyes looked on from one sofa to the other; from the Headmaster to Lea's end. Despite being one of the witnesses of Sabio's tragedy, he had no opinions about Godwind himself.

Lea indiscreetly glanced at Lars who had remained invisible since she teleported half the gang into Ulyssis' royal residence and back again after her brief visit from the Tower of Oblivion. 

The man's eyes flashed a certain glint that made Lea's chest thump. She held a smile to appear on her face, highly intrigue by what Lars could provide her nature of curiosity. 

Looking rather solemn with his confession, the Headmaster slowly looked up to the youth in front of him. "Indeed, dear Ulla. However highly respectable I am, I regret to have not been able to pull my son away from the Apostles."

With a raised brow, Raize looked even more thoughtful, his hand on his chin and he said while his mind at work, "If you have the time to spare, it would greatly help to enlighten us what your and your son's relationship with the Apostles is. Why are you here when he is out there dying both continents red with blood?"

The headmaster slowly shook his head, his expression masked with melancholy. "Some other time."

When Ulla sensed the Headmaster's increasing unease, she then looked onto Lea and the latter turned to her as well with an inquiring gaze. Although a little creep out how Lea appears to know what she was thinking, Ulla was obviously excited to share her own thoughts and opened her mouth to say, "Why don't we see for ourselves what these Apostles actually look like??"

Both Lea and Raize didn't say anything but their eyes told Ulla their obvious query. 'How?'

Suddenly, she laughed. Very much like a lady at first "Fu fu fu....", and most likely from her pent up excitement, she burst out laughing. Still staring at her, Ulyssis couldn't stop himself from smiling a little. He noticed, that despite Ulla's gentleness and reserved behavior, she would sometimes act unnaturally when her emotions were high up the threshold. In such situations, he couldn't help but find her even more amusing and lovable.

Oblivious to Ulyssis' thoughts, Ulla finally ceased her uncharacteristic bouts of laughter and smiled towards Lea and Raize with a joyful glint in her eyes. Upon sitting straight, she said, "If we have different societies here, Apostles have their own society too."

From what Lea understood, the lands above are simply an experimental lab for the Apostles. And even when the high-end technologies they have at the moment does not compare to her generation, they are nevertheless dangerous.
