"Anyway," Leonel continued with a smile, "it's obvious to me now that you clearly know of Radlis. Your trained lack of a response likely means that not only do you know him, but that he's also important to you. It's either that he's related to you or that you sent him here to do something important. The answer is more than likely both.

"What I've been baffled about for the longest time, though, is the fact that Radlis would come here and join Valiant Heart Mountain of all places. It never really made much sense to me. The only logical reason I could come up with was maybe that your Umbra family had taken a fancy to the Valiant Heart Mountain's Valiant Pillars? That seemed to be an adequate enough reason. But, it simply came with too many holes.

"With your family's concealment abilities, wouldn't it just be easier to sneak in and snatch the treasure for yourself? What would be the point in sending a young man like Radlis who, at the time, was merely in the Fourth Dimension? It seems quite counter intuitive and like a grand waste of time.

"Then there was the fact that Radlis' actions were quite odd in and of themselves.

"During the first trial for new entries, his performance was good, but it wasn't top tier. He didn't manage to climb very high and was actually outclassed by a few others. Knowing his true talent now, he had clearly been holding back to quite a large extent.

"After Radlis entered the organization, he seemed to be quite aimless as well, doing nothing much other than chasing girls. There was even a point he joined a Crafter's Guild despite the fact he wasn't a Crafter in the slightest.

"By all measures, it seemed like he wasn't doing much at all. Or, maybe that he was rather waiting for something…

"And that was when the selections rolled around. I missed Radlis' performance due to some… reasons…"
