"Hello, never seen you around here. What can I do for you?" "U-U-Um hi t-there, is there any chance of me getting a job around this city?" "Girls, ah hate to say it, but ah think we're surrounded." "Yeah no buck AJ, can't believe those fake heroes just set us up like that." "Quite right Rainbow, here I thought my knight & shining armor is only an illusion." "Wait a second, quiet down girls. I think I see someone in the distance up above." "Curses! We've almost had them in our trap! How could this have happened?!" "A minor setback, it appears someone has given them a surprising morale support." "So what do you suggest we do then? He'll definitely terminate us if we failed for too long." "Indeed, though I prefer to do nothing for now. I'll report to him that it was a parted plan successful. Meanwhile, send word to my guard to deal with those traitors. Those foolish weak heroes have no idea on what they're in for, be certain of that." "Hello there, welcome to my Academy human!" "Thank goodness, at least he's alright now." "How long until we reveal ourselves?" "Not yet, we just need to wait for a little longer." "The tournament will begin!" "Bring us the ones on the list. The rest however if they get in the way, kill them all." "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Finally, you have come to the sanctuary chamber at last!" "Uhhhhhh. . . . . who are you?"
