(In a noisy restaurant.)

(A man and a woman are sitting next to the window, watching the pedestrians outside.)

리브라

The airship is already in our sight. We're close, Scorpio.

스콜피오

……

리브라

Something on your mind?

스콜피오

Sensei, I... I don't know…

Is this... really something that has to be done by me?

리브라

Of course, Scorpio.

스콜피오

I'm still confused. Can you please explain it again?

리브라

No problem, my child.

(Libra forked a piece of well-done steak.)

(He tasted it slowly, swallowed it, and then continued speaking.)

리브라

Scorpio. Though I had already bestowed the title of the 'Culmination of the Blade' to you,

but I believe you also understand, that is nothing more than a mere title.

This world is full of people who are stronger than you can ever imagine.

I'm not just talking about the Black Ground. I am talking about something of a larger scale.

Who knows if there are other places like Black Ground that are still undiscovered in ALICE?

As long as you aim for the top, you will have to face them one day.

And to prepare for that day, you have to keep getting stronger.

This is the reason you came to me after all that happened, right?

스콜피오

Yes, sensei. I have never forgotten what you taught me.

I do 1000 practice swings every single day. Even now...

리브라

No, Scorpio. If you ask me, your mastery of sword is already unsurpassed.

In addition to that, the power of Astral Warrior boosts your physical strength to an avatar's limit.
