Ryouta had returned to the starting point of the battle Royale. He knew that being ecstatic, was to be saved for after he could avoid the tragedy to come. But nonetheless, the feelings of relief and happiness, were lingering in his heart.
" Shiva your plan isn't going to work", Ryouta said, trying to warn Shiva of the possible dangers to occur, but he asked to speak with her privately with the others present, "I'd like to talk to you, outside the hall please". Shiva noticed the seriousness in his words and expression, and decided it'd be best to cooperate,
"Okay, whatever it is, I hope it explains your little out burst earlier". They both leave the hall to a more secluded part of the hall grounds, "so, what is it you wanted to tell me"?, Ryouta signals her to keep her voice down, he suddenly makes a determined face as he struggled to bring out the words he wanted,
"you're going to die". Shiva , hearing his baseless statement, froze with confusion and began to wonder if he was playing a prank, "what do you mean, I don't understand you, you suddenly hug me, crying, and now you tell me I'm going to die?, quite the balls young man". She uses her magic unnoticed by Ryouta, trying to look through his memories and see what she thought was a foolish joke, whether it had meaning or was just a joke as she thought. Looking through his memories, she saw a big black gap in between memories of this point and the point before in mind. This had never happened before to Shiva, as she was able to even look through forgotten memories of people, which was convenient in numerous situations.
"Ryouta, explain to me what exactly did you see". Ryouta, seeing that Shiva had grasped the situation at hand was serious, decided to explain what he had experienced and imparted as understandably as he could. "And that's about it, it was a horrid and painful experience. In retrospect, I don't want an anything to do with that Nacht guy, just remembering him gives me the creeps".
Shiva after taking in and accepting all that information came to a conclusion, "I believe you". Ryouta's eyes widen in excitement, "really, I thought you'd think I was crazy or something", Shiva laughs mocking him, "what the hell do you take me for?, haha hahaha". Shiva, knowing the events that would take place, knew they were in a tricky situation, but she gave a suggestion, " why don't we take care of one problem first before the other instead of simultaneously I'll stay behind and take care of the threat that is Nacht before going on to defeat the guards together". Ryouta had thought of that before and realized it wouldn't work because even if they wait patiently for Nacht to arrive and defeat him, who's to say they aren't any more troublesome criminals at hand; they should be saving as much energy as possible before facing Geraint. Indeed, it was a difficult situation, Ryouta made his own suggestion," Shiva can you stall for a while, I'll try to convince Geraint to join us somehow". Ryouta's suggestion wasn't anything close to perfect but it was worth the try, so both of them came to that conclusion and tried to get rid of most holes in their plan. "Okay, let's return and tell the other's". Before when Ryouta told Shiva of the events that took place in the first trial, he could not tell her anything of what symphony had told him, whenever he'd tried, his throat would cease to respond and he'd feel an intense headache. He told her he didn't know how he restarted, and what power was in place when he did so. Shiva, upon seeing his pain when trying to provide that information, instinctive ignored and focus on the major parts of the information he gave her.
[they head to back to the hall]
"Okay guys, change of plans!". Shiva told Dare and the others present," why, what was wrong with the other one". Shiva explain she got an early piece of info from their wandering info broker "Luna". That a man with terrifying strength might ruin their plans. The group of criminals immediately calmed down, and then one asked "did she provide any information on what tier of magic he was capable of using"?, Ryouta clears his through as he answered them "apparently 3rd tiger magic". Every one kept silent as they knew their foe was formidable indeed." But you guys have a plan for this right"?, The man who watched the dialogue between Ryouta , Shiva and the others play out asked, it was dark crow's leader, the man approached them in a rather serious manner, confirming if they were to be trusted." I suppose you guys have a solid plan for this".
Ryouta bravely answers," our plan is nowhere near perfect, but I need you guys to trust us". The group suddenly gave Ryouta a cold stare.
