"........I...." Sharp was silent for a moment, stammered for a second.

"Yes." he said.

"Yes. It is." he told her.

"With my current level of power, I can make it so that sleep will not be needed for... 4 days." he said.

"Maybe 5 at most." he continued.

"So if you wish it, I CAN do it."

Sharp just nodded, and closed his eyes.

Normally he would just snap his fingers, but this time was different.

He looked to be concentrating hard for about 10 seconds, before there was a pulse of mana that rippled outwards from him, stronger than anything he'd ever produced before.

It almost made the building shake with how potent it was... but it dissipated as quickly as it came.

But it had succeeded, and Sharp nearly collapsed.

"It is done." was all he said.

Sharp wearily looked at the orb, and nodded.

"That... would be wonderful." he said.

"Thank you." he said further.

With that, he sighed in exhaustion, reached his hand out, and gently grabbed the red orb that was hovering before him.

When he did, he suddenly felt his mana levels rise drastically, and felt a lot more energetic.

"Woah!" he exclaimed, a smile on his face.

"That was... refreshing!"

Sharp just smiled at her.

"Thank you so much, Miss Encrae." he thanked her.

"That did wonders." he told her.

"And yes, I DO know where you can be found." he said further.

"Also, feel free to wander about the Unit and explore." he then told her.

"Familiarize yourself with the surroundings, if you so desire."

Sharp was silent for a moment, and looked confused.

"Uh..." he stammered.

"Yes. Yes, there is a landline in the room." he told her.

"Though, admittedly, what you just said is extremely confusing to me." he then admittedly, before pausing and thinking about something else.

"Also... Kalin. THERE'S a name you don't hear often." he continued. "That's also the name of a lawyer that's helped us out before, coincidentally enough." he then added.

"....ah!" Sharp exclaimed.

"That... answers that." he said.

"I was unaware you had an object to 'possess'." he told her.

"Also... it seems we have someone in common." he then said further. "Kalin Kiczys IS the one that's helped us out in the past." he went on.

"She's a marvellous lawyer."

Sharp merely cracked his fingers in response.

"Yep." he said.

"I need to get to it." he agreed.

"Thank you once more." he continued.

"And I get the feeling we may need your help in the lab in the coming days, analysing what we have, and finding out what to do with it, if anything." he then told her.

"If you would be so kind."

Sharp watched her go, before sighing.

He needed to devote as many resources as he could towards this.

And he needed to get to the lab to see if they could get something from what he'd been given.

Meanwhile, as Syraene made her way through the corridors, she sensed a strong demonic presence close to her... which was when Azazel turned the nearest corner.

"Woah!" he exclaimed upon seeing her.

"Hello, there." he greeted her. "You're new."

"Ah, I see." Azazel replied.

"Name's Azazel." he introduced himself.

He then looked at her again, and scratched at his chin.

"Hm." he mumbled.

"Mmmmmmmmm...." he murmured further, before snapping his fingers.

"Ah! The Order of the Sand!" he said.

"I knew you had a strange mana sign for a dark elf, but it was vaguely familiar to me." he commented.

"....wait, why is an Order member here...?" he then asked.

"Does this have anything to do with why Aedan's suddenly reverting back to a feral primal zombie?" he asked further. "Because that seemed to just... happen overnight, for no reason."

".....well, thankfully I technically don't need to sleep." Azazel muttered. "I mean, I can choose to, and I can see why people in this realm do it, but I can go without." he mumbled.

"And that sucks." he then sighed.

"We're just lucky she didn't hurt anyone." he said, looking back for a moment, absently, and then looking at Syraene again.

"Never thought I'd hear the words that the Order has been corrupted." he commented. "I always thought they were uncorruptable." he admitted.

"Then again, even us demons know very little about it." he then continued.

"Your society is amazingly well-guarded. Guess that's why I assumed that."
