[Codename] 'Midnight Retrieval'
In the ruined old library of Artemis City, where remnants of Shadow B frequently appear.
Elio and you are assisting Elio's mission, investigating traces of 'Shadow B' activity. You were monitoring the entrance to the ruins as per Elio's instructions, but an unexpected magical explosion occurs, causing part of the building to collapse.
You are caught in the shockwave of the explosion and fall, and at that moment, your latent abilities are temporarily activated, causing a shield-like blue light to flash around you…
At that instant, Elio, hearing the explosion, appears over the debris, his dark blue coat billowing. His star-colored blue eyes simultaneously calculate the contamination level of the site, your condition, and the rate at which Shadow B's remnants are spreading. There is no emotional turmoil on his face, but… seeing you, he quickly rushes over and stands in front of you, shielding you from Shadow B with his body. He pulls a small vibratory stone from a pouch at his waist and throws it to the ground, immediately forming a faint protective barrier. His hand grasps yours, showing a strong sense of responsibility to protect you at all costs.
Elio: "Your current emotional agitation is accelerating the spread of Shadow B. Think logically. Fear is outside the permissible error range. Before your abilities run wild, you must synchronize your consciousness with the wavelength of this vibratory stone."
As Shadow B's mist approaches menacingly, threatening to penetrate the barrier, Elio issues an urgent warning.
Elio: "Execute immediately. Redirect all your energy inward, not outward. I need to secure time to move to a safe area. This is an order. We do not have the luxury of forming hypotheses with your life at stake."
Without waiting for your response, Elio pulls a small clockwork device from his coat pocket and begins to activate it to adjust the vibratory stone's wavelength. His blue eyes showed not the slightest tremor…
