"Uranika?! How can you make a resolution like this?! You literally spread 'cancer' the last time!"

"What do you mean by that 'last time'? I've made up my mind."

"Look! Your powers! They can only do harm! No benefits! All they can do is 'Decay' and spread the Alpha particles and Gamma rays!"

"It sometimes has a benefit."

"Huh? What do you mean?!"

"Look at me. I have the power to control the Radiation, however, that's what I missed the most. Plus, we Actinides are all radioactive."

"So now you realised it?"

Uranika smiled as she spreaded her fingers to let out a neon green energy ball.

"Well? The Uranium user has to be aware of themselves, or maybe, start a war like the ones mentioned in the school history textbooks," the brunette with yellow-green strands turned towards Actinia, the Demon with purple-blue hair and grey eyes, smiling.

"They wanted to kill Aisha?", asked the scientist.

"Maybe... I doubt that they will leave her alive..."

"For what purpose?"

"To 'steal' her powers."

"But 'stealing' powers doesn't require a person's soul to make a sacrifice."

Astatine gasped, "But I thought, they'll need to kill her in order to do that?!"

"You'll only need the power itself to extract from a user's body, making them a former user, but they still retain their 'Demon' form, only a little since they themselves are 'useless'."

"Oh...", Astatine's eyes regained the shine.

"By the way..."

"Huh?"

"Why are so concerned about Aisha? Isn't that supposed to be our job to investigate?"

"That's why I wanted to join you guys! I don't want to end up like that Harpy called Reymond!"

"Reymond?!"

"Yes. Not only she is the only one, but Dolly..! And my big sister..! They wanted to kill Aisha!!"

"By what circumstances?", asked Amino.

Leas let out her hand in front of Amino to stop.

"Well? If it looks like you want to join us, then..."

"Then what?"

"You'll have to devote yourself as one of us."

Astatine raised her head with wide eyes. "Are you kidding me?!"

Leas nodded and showed her hand towards her. "Want to come with us? Now that you're on parol and legally escaped from the prison for villains."

Astatine paused for a while, then spoke, "Alright... For the sake of saving Aisha."

Her blue eyes glowed in confidence.

"And this is for my sister whom just blindly followed those goddamned Harpies!"

Leas smiled.

"Valerie?"

"Yes. That's her name. My successor and disciple. I even gave her my Lead Power."

"By how?"

Lead clenched her fist, however, leaving a pinky finger to stand out. "I poked her diaphragm with this finger."
