Riddle soon fires his magic with all his might and is able to defeat the Phantom.

The Phantom lets out a, "SHAAAGH!" as it dissolves into a puddle of black ink.

"The Phantom dissolved into a black liquid..." Riddle says.

Riddle ends up having a whiff of the ink and reacts in disgust, "Ugh, the smell is nauseating."

Tanzanite smells it, "You're right. It's making me feel nauseous."

" Let's get away from here," Riddle says.

Soon, the group begins to walk away from the puddle.

Azul walks to Riddle and asks, "Okay, what was THAT about?"

"What do you mean?" Riddle asks.

"You told me to stay back," Azul says, "Granted, you've been housewarden a year longer than me. But we're both sophomores in the role. I hardly need your protection."

But Riddle says, "I know you can fight. But I can't risk you getting injured right now."

"Injured? Please, don't patronize me. I can take a few hits," Azul says.

"I'm not patronizing you..." Riddle points out, "Weren't you the one who said I was better in both the classroom and the field? It only makes sense for the stronger of us to take point."

"Oh, is that so?" Azul questions with a frown, "Fine. Then I'll just kick up my feet and relax in the back."

Riddle sighs, "You don't have to be so snide about it. We won't get through this if we don't work together. We can't afford to just do our own thing."

"Which of us is doing our own thing again, you blockhead," Azul mutters.

"Come on guys, there's no time to argue. Let's continue down and find Idia and Ortho, and maybe see if Grim's here," Tanzanite days.

The three boys continue forward.

Riddle soon notices something ahead, "Hm? There's a massive door up ahead," Riddle looks at the map, "According to the map... Ah, that must lead to one of the Phantom containment facilities."

"Considering that we've already encountered one, we should expect more awakened Phantoms inside," Azul says.

"And some of them are probably very dangerous," Tanzanite adds.

Then Riddle says, "Stay sharp and follow my lead. Is that clear?"

"Yes, yes... Crystal clear," Azul says.

"Of course," Tanzanite says.

And with that, the three students walk inside the containment facility, expecting to find more of the Phantoms in the room. And maybe even Ortho.
