Skratch uncovers the truth about himself, that he was created in the lab under Skekter University, and resolves to stop this from happening again. The party confronts Professor Quaris, who escapes when Rosa attacks her, planting a crossbow bolt in her bag. The party is held up by animated armors, but Skratch threatens to blow up Quaris, who releases Yura and gets away. Then, as Viola searches for more details about where Quaris went, an enormous, newly-created monster is released from the lab tank. Just when it's about to down an injured Viola, two new faces--Ĉiujn and Amiki--suddenly arrive, having been directed to help settle a dispute erupting between the dean and the academy. Rallied, the party fights back, finally downing the creature and escaping the lab with Klade's body in tow. With the journal and the testimony of Yura, Dean Foster is detained for questioning as to the whereabouts of his sister. The next morning, the wake for Klade is held, and Skratch promises to find him again someday...
