Years ago, Ophelia Salvadori was all alone, and she hated it.
Having passed his self-appointed test, he takes a shocked Ophelias hands in his and declares them friends.
They also make use of Guys toolplants to build bridges and his delicious cakes to fill their bellies.

In this case, its a gorilla-bang out beast that has been wounded by the chimeras.
However, that beast is soon gruesomely beheaded by a giant mantis-like chimera with razor claws.
Vera falls back and lets this be her underclassmens first big test.

Oliver, Nanao and Chela work well as a unit, mixing up elemental spells to discern weak spots.
As a result when Oliver goes for the head, hes met by a fusillade of spikes.
Vera suddenly rushes in, worried that he might have been killed.

With their first test passed, they continue their journey, cutting down any chimeras in their way.
That includes Pete, which doubly impressed them because hes so new to the magical world.
He didnt run away, so they wont run away.

Meanwhile, Joseph is the first of the captured males to come to.
One is a bomb, another a smoke bomb, and a third a distress beacon.
