Kyle swallows before nodding.

Léa coyfully brings him inside, locking the door.

[Legendary Marksdorf]

"Black Ekslipe, truth not nice or mean. Just truth. World harsh. Weak crushed by strong. But if weak know their place, maybe strong spare."

[SOLDIER First]

{But you're just saying that. You don't know if he's weak or not, you're saying he is because you're bigger than him.}

[Legendary Marksdorf]

"Hmmm... Hey, maybe you right. He look weak, but maybe strong... inside ? He not afraid of Snowy, he brave. Snowy like that."

[SOLDIER First]

{Being strong doesn't always mean being big.}

Soon enough, Argus, Lillian, and Radia arrive at the faculty building, right outside of the entrance to the floor where REM is. Before they can open the door, a hunched robot opens it and invites the trio in. Inside the room, they find hundreds upon hundreds of the same robot roaming about, doing seemingly random tasks. One of the robots walk up to the trio and speaks, "I am the Robotic Equilibrium Multitude. You may call me REM."

"Ah.  We have a couple questions about a student's assignment, and the implications thereof."

[Sanure]

"I know. Valencia. Her powers are the same as Valentina's. You worry, fear, concerned about her. You believe putting her on the road to villainy will ruin her, upset her, corrupt her. I have seen. Many different paths are available to her. I too fear what she could become. She is not Valentina. She has friends. She cares. Do not worry about her." The robot unit speaking turns away and begins working on something else, while another unit turns and faces the group, "Bigger things than the girl are at work. A spirit, mist, ghost returns. I must keep watch for it. Evil, truth, demon. Balance is interrupted. Source must be found..." The second unit turns away, just as a third turns to face the group, "You have more questions, ask them." REM is certainly everywhere in his speech.

[Twinwolf]

"You haven't really explained what that has to do with Valencia herself. After school, will she be forced to be a Villain because of what course you put her in? Or can she be a hero anyway? It's one thing to get her the right teachers. You don't need to ruin her life to do that."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"What does the Villain course entail, may I ask?"

[Sanure]

"Her training, is only as a villain. Her path, is her own. She is scared. Her powers are her fear. She needs to learn control, confidence, ego. Her powers will consume her if she fears them." The unit turns away, a different one continuing, "She will be taught to control, think, plan. She will be trained to dominate, abuse, betray. Ultimately, she will choose which path to follow in the end. It will not be her grandmother's. She is not evil."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

".....so you plan to train a person, who has had all her life been haunted and stigmatised by what her grandmother did, who wants control over her own destiny, to dominate, abuse and betray others?"

[Twinwolf]

"Regardless, it seems pointless to do so; it just makes it that much harder for her to be a hero down the line. The way you make it sound she would do far better in the hero course; they probably also get the 'control, think, plan' bit still, which seems like the only part that benefits her."

[Legendary Marksdorf]

"Whatever. This no important. What important is you show them you not nice wimp. Else, they'll try exploit you. You no have to be mean if you no want, just scary." Snowy tells BE.

[SOLDIER First]

{But I am scary. People say that a lot.}
