2 days after the North building incident , Seo and his team just arrive back to the Sanctuary from hunting Gaoru at East building. As they walk at the hall area;
Member of group 2: "Sir..."
Seo: "Hmm ? , can I help you ?"
Member of group 2: "Our leader , Tozen , would like to meet you at our office as soon as possible."
Seo: "Is that so ? , very well , I'll be heading to his office right away."
Member of group 2: "Understood , sir."
As the member of group 2 leave , Varmoth walk toward Seo.
Varmoth: "A meeting ?"
Seo: "Yeah , it's Tozen. I'm going to his office now so please keep an eye on the others for me."
Varmoth: "Uhn , roger that."
Thus , they walk in separate way where Seo is on his way to the base of group 2 while Varmoth catch up to the rest of the team.
Few moments later , Seo arrive at the base of group 2 where Tozen is waiting at the entrance.
Tozen: "I've been expecting you , Seo-san."
Seo: "It's been a while , old friend."
Tozen: "Well then , shall we continue our conversation as we walk to my office ?"
Seo: "Sure"
They start to go inside the base and walk along the corridor where most of Tozen's workers are writing down the update data regarding the stats of each people from all groups. As they continue walk along the corridor;
Tozen: "So , how's the growth of your group lately ?"
Seo: "I was able to recruit 3 more members in my team in a matter of 2 months. A lot have happen after the day I brought that man in my team."
Tozen: "I see. I'm really interested to know about each of them since most of your team have unique individuals especially that dryad girl and the one with wings because of their amazing abilities."
Seo: "I guess you won't be able to meet them since you're a busy man with reviewing the data in your office."
Tozen: "If only Akihiro-san give me 3 days off."
As they reach to his office , Tozen begin to check some things at the bookshelf while Seo is sit in front of the office table. Soon after , Tozen walk back and sit on his office chair then put down a scroll and open it revealing a map of 4 building which happen to be the world they currently live in. As Seo look at the map , he turn his look at Tozen;
Seo: "What are these marks in this map ?"
Tozen: "Well..."
Their discussion continue as Varmoth and the others walk along the shopping market to buy some foods.
Meanwhile at the corner of the hall , there's a corridor where people are rarely walk into are also where 3 members of group 3 meet up then continue to walk inside an empty room. In that room , there's a big crack on the floor that lead to the unknown passage. As these 3 members arrive at the bottom floor of the building , their leader Kojima is already waiting with the rest of his group as he stand next to an unknown Gaoru that sleep inside a capsule that filled with unknown blue liquid. Once all of his group are assemble , he gaze at the sleeping creature in awe;
Kojima: "What a magnificent creature."
Soon after , he press a button that drain the blue liquid out of the capsule then before long , the creature is awake from its deep slumber.
Meanwhile at the office , Tozen and Seo are still discussing about the map Tozen had presented.
Seo: "So you're saying , all Gaoru from type A to type C are no longer appear since the day my team defeated it ?"
Tozen: "That is correct. Despite type E and type D are always appear , it is safe to say that these types of Gaoru are consider normal. But the rarest one on the hand , are the one you defeated with the help of your team and strangely never appeared again. If my theory is correct , these creatures could be some sort of a guardian for each building."
Seo: "If all of the guardians are taken down , what would happen ?"
Tozen: "That's the question...and the problem is...I don't know."
As they lost in thought of the puzzle of the unknown world , they soon feel a sudden earthquake and they try to grab something to hold into.
Tozen: "Well , that...is new."
Soon after , they hear a scream from outside. They walk over to the window and see people are running away from the hall. They look at each other then decide to investigate what is happening at the hall.
2 minutes earlier , Varmoth and the rest are walking to the hall from shopping area. Minami then ask her;
Minami: "Varmoth-san , do you know where Seo-san is ?"
Varmoth: "Seo-san is having a meeting with Tozen at the base of group 2. He will meet up with us once the meeting is over."
Minami: "Oh , okay."
As they continue to walk at the hall , they were greeted by a sudden earthquake then the floor of the hall start to collapse leaving a big hole on it. Everyone in the hall gather around the collapse floor then all of a sudden , a figure jump out of the collapse floor and land right in front of the crowd. It then stand revealing its feature of a Gaoru , everyone start to panic and run away creating chaos in the hall. When all of people in the hall manage to escape , Varmoth and the rest are the only group left in the hall then soon after , Kojima and his groups appear from the hole and stand beside it.
Varmoth: "What are you doing ? , just get out of there."
Kojima: "Don't you realize something ?. I won't go anywhere because I am the one who bring this creature into the light of day."
Varmoth: "What....!?"
Kojima: "Now that you stand on my way , you all will be the first to taste the wrath of my creature , type Zero."
Varmoth and all her team prepare to combat as he's about to order it to attack.
Kojima: "Zero , get them !!!"
It won't budge to move. Kojima is confuse then keep on ordering it to attack. As it keep standing , he begin to become angry and demand;
