Anyway, once we got the airship fired up, Sakyou just. . . reappeared on it, like nothing happened. We were on our way to some ruins, as per the stupid voice's command, but another airship was hot on our tail.

And then you come straight back here afterwards. Which is... I guess it makes sense but it seems like A Choice.
Like... an interesting choice, kind of a shitty one. It's putting people through the wringer, then patting you on the back, handing you your lunchbox of new information and dumping you back where you started.

After that, I guess. . . we passed. Some guy in a gray hood gave us those applications for Chad and Viola, along with the map piece.
And then we were back on school grounds.

Almost like the whole thing was just for-- you know. Someone else's entertainment.
