Wamuu was training with Santana in a corner of the cave. He speaks while thrusting out a small, child-like fist.

...Santana, a little faster. ...Lord Esidisi told you that the other day, didn't he?

Santana tilts his head with a troubled expression at those words. It seems perfect understanding is still difficult for him. Though he is slightly faster than before, he still has a long way to go.

...Like... this...?

Watching them, Esidisi calls out to Kars beside him. ...Those kids have started training on their own, huh? It's enough to make a guy emotional... You think so too, don't you, Kars?

Kars had been hunched over a table, scribbling down research notes regarding the Stone Mask, but he looks up at the mention of their names and glances at Wamuu and Santana.

...Hmph. Still too slow. They are far too weak to protect me, Kars.
