On the second night at the Research Institute, just before bed, Miel whimsically summoned the Banshee Queen, asking her to cast a "Thou shalt not be eroded by the Abyss in spirit," and indeed, everyone's nightmares were greatly reduced that night.
Minerva's Curse Ability was truly impressive; it acted as a "curse" against enemies and a "blessing" for her own people. Her words, carrying immediate effects, allowed everyone to barely get a good night's sleep.
The third morning, Mia woke up early and began practicing the Ripple Sword, constantly teleporting from one end of the room to the other and back again.
Aske stood at the far end of the room. In front of him, a large circle was drawn on the floor. Every time Mia teleported into the circle, he'd take a Conceptual Weapon he had summoned—a large mallet—and swing it waist-high into the circle. Mia had to teleport out before the strike hit her, or she would be hit by the club.
