"Let's get going quickly." Rui said as they all entered the security floor.

It was wide with different compartments and sections. And they were all littered with corpses.

"You memorized the means of operating the elevator, correct?" Rui asked as he glanced at the closed doors at the end of the security floor.

"Of course." Kane replied.

He walked over to the elevator. Hitting a few buttons and pulling a lever and then rotating it until the doors finally opened leading to a spacious platform meant to accommodate many.

Kane spun a lever on the inside, closing the doors and the elevator automatically began descending.

The tension in the air rose. None of them were particular fond of what was about follow.

Except for Nel, who was grinning at the prospect to a fight to the death with hopefully strong Martial Apprentices. If they were weak, Nel intended to crush them and fight the grade-ten Martial Apprentice. However, he didn't reveal this to Rui in a rare moment of logical analysis. He knew Rui would probably not allow it.

He was right.

But what he didn't know was that Rui was already well aware of his intentions. He simply decided to personally ensure that the mission wasn't screwed up due to Nel's desire to fight strong people. He did not think he could control him.
