Her eyes were half-lidded, anyone could tell that she was trying her best not to pass out. "Miss Mayumi! What happened?" Gopal gasped at what was displayed before him. Mayumi's wings seemed discoloured and had lost their glow, the light seemed to have died down which had always made her look like a figure that shouldn't be touched by anyone. The teenagers didn't know why or how this happened. "Commander, Lady Mayumi was out from the sight of Caecus for quite a long time for a Nymph. It is to my sincerest concerns that was the reason for her sudden weak state," Swift urgently told the shorter alien.

"I see, you know your Lluminarian knowledge?" Commander Kokoci brought down his glasses to make eye contact with the aviator before bringing them back while fixing his throat. "Well… I might have been a bit too curious about this recently… but, that doesn't matter now. May I ask where the Septima tribe members are?" Swift's calculating eyes scanned the crowd, hoping to catch a glimpse of the girl that approached him earlier but alas, he was rather unfortunate. The group of teenagers pulled back and made way for the Lluminarians, to let them tend to their beloved enchantress.

"Here, Sir Swift! I see that Great Divine Mayumi has been feeling ill. Fortunately, you were right just in time before something worse could happen. Her skin is not as dull as I was so worried about, it would be the hint of her light magic dying down. She would have not been able to wake up for lunarias," Visia, the gang's most acquainted member of the tribe has revealed herself with a look of relief noticeable on her face as she watches their divine figure in such a state. "The most appropriate solution to this is to keep her exposed to the light of Caecus, she can regain her strength in this process as soon as possible," She told him. 

"I see, I appreciate your advice, young one," he sighed and looked down at the Lluminarian nymph. Everything was fine until Visia cleared her throat, a sheepish expression noticeable from her visage as she stood before the Master Flyer of the Flight Academy. "Hm? Do you need anything? Perhaps you have a place where I can let her rest?" Swift looked down at the Lluminarian teenager, absolutely clueless about what was about to come back to him.

"Sir Swift, I do recommend letting her rest in a comfortable place. And that… I just want to remind you that Nymphs should not be touched by any man for it is because Nymphs are divine virgin beings… the purer they are, the more they should remain recognized as strong and divine in Lluminarian superstitions. So if I were you…"  Visia smiled knowingly which caused the adult man to tense up in his place, cold sweat forming from the side of his forehead upon realisation about what she meant.

"Oh… I-I understand, my sincerest apologies young one," A sheepish expression was visible on his face. "Please do follow me, sir, it would be better if she rests in a more private place," Visia beckoned for the Master Flyer to follow her out of the area, leading him to where the other Septima tribe members were at. As they left them, a comfortable silence began to form between the two Glamourans.

It took a while before the Lluminarian girl spoke again, feeling somewhat amused by the display. "Lady Mayumi does not let any other man hold her, it is quite bizarre to see her get touched by a man. Did she perhaps… hold you first?" Visia hummed before looking up at him with a spark of curiosity in her eyes. "What do you mean?" He raised a brow in confusion, making eye contact with the girl.

"Oh… nothing nothing," Visia waved it off casually before walking forward as Swift observed her silently.

"Lightning slash!" Thunderstorm used all of his strength to move his arm and attack the guard nearing him. The guard was electrocuted, falling to their knees with a single thud. He smoothly slid to the side, giving way for the Lluminarian elf who handled a sword with heavy breathing. Y/n took a deep breath before she swung her weapon, the grip on the hilt of the sword tight as she generated enough energy for the purifying process. The lightning element clicked his tongue, his blood-red eyes landing upon an incoming enemy running toward her.
