Determination of the Weak.

Hotel Arya, Main Gate, Midnight.

"Where might you be going at this time, Senpai?" (Rio)

Rio leaned his back against the wall of the main gate and asked the question in his usual emotionless tone.

He glanced at Riko who had been waiting for him near the gate. A sword hung on her waist and she wore her armor as if she was going in some kind of battle.

Riko ignored Rio's question and started to talk all by herself.

"I thought you won't come…. But well, now that you are here, I want to ask you some things…" (Riko)

"Well, you messaged me to come here, otherwise I would have been sleeping right now..." (Rio)

Riko glanced at her sword for a moment and then asked.

"You are the strongest swordsman I have ever seen among all the awakeners I have met… you might even have more potential in swordsmanship than S-rankers…" (Riko)
