While Daimon prepared a tragic scene of "betrayal" between Marcus and the scheming guy's forces, Thea and Marlene flew towards the entrance of the angelfish clan's hideout.
Naturally in her current state Marlene couldn't fly so Thea was helping her to, which made Thea question her friend.
"Why haven't you returned the "Arch" ranks, with the time you have spent at the main residence of the Flying Citadel it should have been enough?".
Though Marlene seemed to have been just lazing around on her bed, besides the times when she was chatting and playing with the other girls, the truth is that she also meditated, akin to her carefree attitude she didn't have to adopt the sitting cross-legged position that most mages have to use to be able to concentrate, until they reach the Arch ranks where they can gather mana all the time, like Daimon.
