Outside the pod, the supervisors started to get worried when they saw that the bar remained red even after filling up.

"What's going on? Why hasn't it sent him there like the rest?" The supervisor with worm-like hairs asked the people on lab coats.

"What?! There's no way in hell he is supposed to be able to resist a brain inducer of this level!" The supervisor with the Rhino horns voiced out.

"We don't know, but the machine seems to be having trouble sending his consciousness there. That's the only reason we can come up with," Another one of them answered again.

"It must be dysfunctional then,"

While they were arguing, Gradier Xanatus stared at the pod with a confounded look, 'Him being able to resist this... Not even special class candidates can do this... What is he?'

While everyone was in their thoughts of confusion, the bar suddenly turned green.
