Sometime later...
Levi and the others returned to their rooms after the conclusion of the first phase of the assembly. While his brother and friends gathered in one room to talk about their battles and their next move if they got signed, Levi chose to rest alone.
As for Melissa? She decided to stay eliminated, realizing that a few hundred Solar Aegis weren't worth more than the Instructor's respect.

Right now, Levi was taking a shower, deep in thought about what Ash'Kral might do to help him pass the second phase.
He had already done his part perfectly in the first phase... Now, it depended on his partner to finish the job. If they couldn't sell their contract, nothing else would matter.
