A view more days pass by, as Noir becomes better and better. He start his day like usual, going downstairs as Sheila is sitting on a chair near a windows. Sheila greet Noir good morning as Noir sits down on the opposite chair.

"Well good morning kid! How is your sleep?"

"Ah, good morning Ms. Sheila! I slept well, thank you for caring about me" Noir said happily with a bright smile.

Sheila just sigh off being glad that Noir is alright now. Sheila sips her daily coffee as Benny went over to their table with some foods on him. Benny put down the food on their table as he smiles to Noir, glad that he has recovered now.

"Ah! Thank you Benny!"

"My pleasure Noir!" Benny said with a bright smile on his face.

"Alright eat up kid. Today we're gonna head to The Phoenix Guild."

"Ah! Yes Miss!" Noir said as he start to eat his breakfast.

A view minutes pass by, as both Sheila and Noir had their breakfat. They both start to head for the Phoenix Guild building. Walking on the street of Kortopia, Noir could see that Kortopia has come back to how it usually is. People starts to talk cheerfully, kids playing around happily, and many more. Noir smiles as he walks around Kortopia, but suddently he remembered something. Noir stop in the middle of the street as he starts to sweat.

"Wait..."

"Hmm? What's up kid?" Sheila ask as she tilted her head.

"No! Wait... Ms. Sheila... Where is Mr. Ronnie?! He save me from that mad man attack... And he.. He... Aghhh!" Noir said as some tears began to run down his face, he start to hold his head.

Everyone on the street looks puzzle staring at Noir that start to scream out of nowhere. Noir breath heavily as it seems he has some sort of panic attack. Sheila tries to calm him down while hugging him.

"Oi! Kid! Get yourself together!"

"Ugghhh! It's my fault..." Noir said as he hold his head tighter and tears running down from his eyes.

"I'm too weak..."

"KID! Get yourself together!" Sheila said all worried, as a crowd start to form around them.

From the alleyway it seems a shadow figure approach them. After a closer look, it's Polpo with a worried face. Polpo approach Noir hugging him as he is sweating all over his face.

"What happen to Noir?" Polpo ask to Sheila, she just shake her head.

From afar Ms. Nora seems to get closer and closer to them. As she starts to release a rumbling sound like a storm is about to happen.

"Now. Now. Everyone, get back to what you are doing!"

The crowd murmur as slowly they all left to go back doing their own thing. Nora went over to Sheila, she looks at the situation for a moment.

"Let's go. We got somewhere to go!" Nora said calmly as she turn around and start walking somewhere.

"What?!" Sheila ask as her face is puzzled, but she proceed to carry Noir in her arms as she followed Nora.

Nora starts to lead them somewhere on the south side of Kortopia, as slowly Noir calmed himself down in the process. Nora stop walking when she is in front of a house. Sheila got even more confuse looking at Nora and puzzled at what she is doing right now. Nora knocks on the door.

"Hello! Mrs. and Mr. Walther. It's me, Nora Noxeria from the Phoenix Guild"

The door creak open slowly revealing an old man around his 60s. The old man open the door widely as everyone could see an old woman is sitting on a rocking chair near a window. The old man bow down to Nora to greet her.

"Ah! Welcome Ms. Nora, Good morning!"

"Good morning Mr. Walther! How is your morning?"

"It's all well for me... But for my wife... She still miss our son..."

"I see... Well, I have bring someone that might help..." Nora said calmly as she move from in front of him and he could see Sheila, Noir and Polpo.

Sheila puts down Noir for himself to stand, as he looks at the old man, he remember something. Nora gesture her hand for Noir and Polpo to get closer. As Noir bow down to the old man, Polpo followed by not knowing how to greet people properly.

"Umm... Good morning Sir.!" Noir said followed by Polpo saying the same thing.

"Ohh~ What a good kid! What's your name kids?"

"Ah, my name is Noir Bolevante!"

"Oh! My name is... Uhh.. Polpo.. Polpo Easton!" Polpo said nervously as his ear perk up.

"Wonderful kids! Anyway Ms. Nora, what do you mean by that you bring someone that can help?" The old man said with a puzzled face looking at Nora.

"Mr. Walther... Well... This kids are the one Mr. Ronnie Walther life he save..." Nora said with a sad tone of voice.

As the old man drop on his knee, he hold both Noir and Polpo face. The old man starts to tear up as he looks at both of those kids. The old man just smiles as he start to lead them to his wife.

"Melissa... These kids... They are the one Ron save with his life.. Isn't he amazing?!"

The old woman starts to look at the kid as she also tear up from her eyes. The old woman stands up as she touch both of their face. She starts to tear up uncontrollably, although she cries, she seems to have a light of hope in her eyes.

"So... Ronnie didn't die for nothing... He sacrifice his life.. For both of your future... I'm glad..."

"Looks like we raise a true warrior Melissa..." The old man said as he start to hug Melissa.

"Indeed Roy... Indeed we raise a true warrior..." Melissa said as she keeps on crying.

"I... Am sorry... Because of me... Mr. Ronnie... He..." Noir said nervously as he also began to tear up, the old woman grab his shoulder.

"It's alright kid... I know Ronnie won't sacrifice his life for nothing... I know this must be the gods plan..." Melissa said as she touch Noir face, he could felt a warmth of a mother from her.

"Yeah... Although it's tough... He sacrifice himself for the both of your future... I believe you both will have a great future.."

Noir and Polpo tear up from hearing the old man word, as both of them stand up at the same time and bow their head.

"I PROMISE THAT MR. RONNIE SACRIFICE WON'T BE IN VEIN!" Noir shouted.

"YES! ME TOO!" Followed by Polpo shout.

The couple start to laugh and they welcome them with some tea. An hour pass by from all the talking, Nora, Polpo, Sheila and Noir starts to say goodbye to the old couple.

"Thank you for your time Mr. and Mrs. Walther. We will be on our way now!" Nora said happily.

Sheila, Noir and Polpo just bow down and start to follow Nora. Nora looks at the kids and smile gently, as she gesture her hand to follow her once again.

A view minutes pass by of walking, as they slowly reach The Phoenix Guild building. Nora turn around and fix her glasses while looking at the other.

"So, here is our next destination! All of you have a meeting with Mr. Solean. And yes that's including you bear kid" Nora said while smiling, she point at Polpo.

"What? Me? Why?"

"Just get in, you'll see why later! My job here is done, time to get my favorite desert!" Nora said happily as she walk off swinging her arm like a free child.

All 3 of them start to enter the guild, and on the inside Zeonyl is waiting for them. Zeonyl greet them with a head bow and start to lead them to upstairs. They reach the 3rd floor as now they are in front of the 'Guild Master' door. Zeonyl knocks on the door.

"It's them..." Zeonyl said with a deep voice.

"Ah! Let them in Zeo!"

Zeonyl just nod his head as he open the door and let the other get inside first. On the inside of the room, is Solean sitting on his desk. It seems Solean is waiting for their arrival. Though Solean just smiles looking at them, and gesture his hand to sit on the 3 seat he had already prepare for them. They get inside as Zeonyl slam the door on them.

"Geez, what's up with that grumpy old man" Polpo said loudly.

"Oh don't worry about him, he is always like that Haha!" Solean said while laughing out loud.

Sheila proceed to sit down "So... What do you need from us Solean..." Sheila said seriously as she stare intensively at Solean.

Solean expression change to serious, as both Noir and Polpo also sit down. Solean sigh off as he seems to prepare to say something life changing.

"Now... I will talk about the incident a week ago..." Solean said with a serious tone of voice...
