Cifero leaned against the wall near the others, staring at the floor. "... There's a point to this somewhere," he said. "More than one. But I'm telling you, that was no easy reaper to beat. There are much weaker ones than that guy." He shrugged. "It could just be that it was an example to show how we have to keep getting stronger... either that, or he's a masochist. Or maybe both." He looked over at Ella. "That guy was too strong even for you, madam." He looked at Alexis briefly, then sighed and sat down on a cot. "... I suppose it was just bad luck." Hearing Acon say that they were too weak, he got up and put a hand on her shoulder. "You guys weren't too weak. He was just way too strong. Even two of our instructors couldn't fight him. How could you?" He sighed. "I'm sorry if I wasn't as involved in the battle, but... too many people needed help."
