A week has passed. Nexus was released from his cell. As soon as he went to his dorm, he was met by Satellizer, who was waiting for him.

Satellizer: You okay?! Are you hurt anywhere?!

Nexus: I'm fine. 

Satellizer: I'm glad, but what was that earlier? That dark aura and anger?

Nexus: What...?

He looked at his hand, trying to recall the incident with Miyabi. But nothing came to mind. Regardless, the day continued on as usual. The festival happened and Nexus won top place. He was later approached by a small, petite girl with short, silvery-white hair that were twisted into two curls-tails at both sides of her head, giving it somewhat of a typhoon shape.

???: I believe you're the Blue Hero, Nexus, correct?

Nexus: That's me.

Attia: My name is Attia Simmons (The Architect of Evil), Ranked 6 among the third-years. Would you please follow me?

Nexus: Okay.

Attia apparently had some business with him, something about joining her in one of the training facilities to discuss it.

However, when the two walked inside, the doors closed behind them. Locked up tight as two more third-years appeared.

Attia: Don't take it personally. You have our respect as the Blue Hero, but your actions won't be forgiven so easily. You lower-classman brought this to yourself! You're not leaving without a proper punishment!

Nexus: But Ms. Kim already punished me.

Attia: That doesn't count as punishment in our favor!

Nexus: But couldn't we just do this at the carnival?

The three women glanced at each other.

Attia: That's it. He's gone bloody mad.

???: You've got to be kidding me!

Attia: Exactly what kind of carnival are you suggesting?

Nexus: I mean there's the one-on-one matches.

The other two looked at her questionably.

???: You're not actually considering this, are you?!

Attia: Very well, but under one condition. If we beat you in the carnival, you will become a subject to the will of the hierarchy. And you will be my Limiter.

And so the match was on. Nexus against Attia.

Attia immediately closed the gap with a Accel Turn, but nearly lost her head in the process. Nexus summons a shield and blocks her strike before slashing her with his sword.

Announcer: Nexus wins. Score tied to 1-1.

Next match was against Creo Brand which ended the same way. The third was against Arnett McMillan and again he wins.

However the matches were still not over. 

Announcer: Nexus vs. Rank-2 Pandora, Elizabeth Mably of Great Britain.

A incredibly young woman enters the ring. Her light blonde hair was like silk and flowed in curls to the small of her back. Her eyes was a deep blue like the sea, and her curves were exemplary to say the least.
