They look over at him, wait a few seconds, then they go right back to fighting. Kai lets out a sigh before telling a member of his crew they need to head toward, the Eastern Alliance, the island Elune is located on.

--- Chapter 132 ---

The master looks over at Zeichiel, who is a powerful high-ranking mage within Elune.

Master: Alright, I am going to be heading out now. Watch over the guild while I’m gone ok?

Zeichiel: Yes master.

The master waves to the guild as he leaves. Red runs over to Hiro, in an excited manner.

Red: Hiro!

Hiro: Yah? What’s up?

Red: Wanna go tell Fuji we got A-Rank?

Hiro: Oh yeah, sure! I haven’t seen him in a while.

Luna: Who?

Red: Oh, you wouldn’t know him. He’s… How do I explain it? He’s kinda like an uncle to me?

Hiro: Yeah, he has really cool weapons and stuff.

Luna: Oh nice!

Red: Yeah, we were gonna go tell him we got A-Rank, you can come if you want.

Luna: Yeah sure, where is he?

Red: He’s over in Termina.

Luna: I see, I’ll go get a cart ready.

Red: Thanks!

Luna: Yeah, no problem.

Luna prepares the cart and they head on their way.

Master Taizawa, dressed in yellow robes walks through the forest just north of the city. A figure in a black cloak stands resting on a tree, with its head down. As he approaches, he stops.

Taizawa: Gidoth. The password is Gidoth.

The cloaked figure looks up at him, revealing a mask with a red 4 on it. It walks closer to him before taking a knee and bowing.

4: Light Saint Taizawa. It’s good to see you again.

Taizawa: You as well 4. Shall we get going?

4: Indeed.

The figure stands up and walks towards the light saint. It places its right hand on his shoulder, and in an instant, they are both warped into a blank whitish-grey room.

The man and woman within the mountains hike through a blizzard deeper into the mountains where another cloaked figure stands with the number 3 on its mask. It places its hand on their shoulders as they teleport.

The man within the volcano area treks up the volcano as if he’s done it many times before. Upon reaching the top, a figure with the 1 mask stands at the ready.

Kota and Geno walk from their home toward a large lake. The cloaked figure 2 stands in wait, before teleporting them.

The hulking piece of armor with its female companion makes its way to the rendezvous and finds the masked figure 5. It rests its hand on her shoulder and the behemoth’s leg piece.

Kai and the girl dock the boat, before making their way to the point, and see the masked figure 6.

The man in the black and purple coat walks up to 7. It reaches to touch his shoulder, but the man snaps and grabs its wrist. They stand there wordlessly staring at each other. The man moves his thumb, and places it on its palm, allowing it to teleport them both.
