Since they had all taken a bit to deal with Mike's complaints and discuss loot, Ren was already in the other room on the other side of the building, or more accurately finished with that room. By the time Lucian had gotten there, Ren closed the door, sighing heavily, and when he saw Lucian, and anyone else who followed him, walk up he shook his head. "Nothing really good in there. Just an empty room with a bunch of empty boxes". Whether or not Ren was lying was something Lucian could decide, but he seemed genuinely disappointed by the lack of loot in this other room, so he was probably telling the truth. 

"Anyway... lets head to the first floor. Maybe those Enforcers found something..." Ren began to head down the stairs now, not really caring if the others chose to continue staying in that room or not or follow them down to the first floor. 

This building was pretty big, probably the same size as the high school it occupied. When the Gamers got down to the first floor the Enforcers would be there, including Sayo, all of them having just walked up from a large door that lead deeper into the base. 

"I take it your search went well? Or perhaps you didn't find what you came here for, which is the more understandable answer, as I believe that we may have found a possible reason as to why the Void Wizard sent you here". Henry spoke now, a red file held in his hands. 

"We wouldn't have known to look for it if you all hadn't come here with your request from the Void Wizard, so for that, we thank you". Keiichi gave a small nod of respect, before nodding to Henry, who began to speak. 

"They have all sorts of data on all six... er... five of you". Henry knew that all of the Gamers knew about Erica's death, but it was still something anyone would avoid talking about directly. "They were very interested in your ability, but this place was not just targeting you, but many different Ability Users as well. That... is not the unusual part though". Henry opened up the file now, reading from it while he spoke. "It appears that this group was researching something. The exact nature of which, I do not know. We would need more time to analyze the data. A guess is that it has to do with dimension gates, something that you would indeed need land like this for, but..." he closed the file now, tucking it beneath his arm, Nero speaking up now, this black garbed man getting rather to the point. 

"They know a bit about your ability, and that four people getting it at the same time after one person had it for a month is no coincidence. Perhaps you could call it... being chosen". Nero just shook his head though, giving a small chuckle as it was clear that he found the notion both truthful, yet incredibly childish and stupid. 

Henry just gave a nod, before resuming his talking. "They probably wanted to capture you to study this, as not only do you all have a unique ability, but four people got it the same day. What they were researching is probably much more than I can assume and may even connect to this, but we would need more time to analyze the data... all I can say is... something big is going on and the people here were mere pawns of someone else judging from the other files I found. While we don't know what it is... all I can say is that you five can no longer turn back... you either need to get stronger, or pray that they decide to leave you alone if you discontinue your abyssal activities". 

Keiichi stepped forward now, handing Silas a card since he appeared to be the oldest of the group, and looked more like the leader type. "Give us a call if you need anything. You helped us out, and we're thankful for that as your being here has helped us find some more answers. We will contact you if we obtain any more info, but for now, all of you should head home". 

After the conversation was over, a window would suddenly appear. 

[hider=Quest Completion]
The Quest 'Search for the Truth' has been completed. 

Reward: 15 XP, a lead towards the truth of it all. [/hider]

At this moment, Ren leveled up to Level 21 as all of the Gamers obtained 15 XP for the completion of the Quest. Sasha also leveled up to Level 16. Silas to Level 13, and Mike to Level 14. All of the Gamers leveled up once tonight, Lucian having leveled up after that fight with the Blank Mage. So they all got a Level out of this as well, which was indeed nice. 

"Anyway, I expect to see both of you in school tomorrow" Keiichi now switched to his Moral Committee Chairman mode as he looked at Mike and Ren, but this comment was mainly directed at Ren, who had been playing Truant for the past week, and Ren just responded by rolling his eyes, something that Keiichi did not respond too kindly to as he directed a glare towards Ren. 

"Your uncle will be informed of your Truancy, and a smart kid like you should know the consequences of such. Now then... please come to school tomorrow, as in light of the recent circumstances I will not be pressing for disciplinary action, but you should try to live a normal, healthy school life to the best of your ability". 

Again, Ren sighed heavily in a apathetic manner. "Yea, whatever..." There was nothing else to do here, and Ren had some Stat Points to assign and some anime to watch, plus it was already around 2:00 AM, so he was a bit tired. "Well... we got what we came here for... i'm heading home..." With that, Ren began to walk out. Unless the Gamers had questions for the Enforcers or wanted to search the base more, they would all need to go home as well as it was quite late.
