The episode opened with Arthur Leywin confronting Cynthia, the Xyrus Academy director, who wanted to ascertain whether Vincent's claims about the boy were true.

She also knew that Arthur wanted to say something to her. Indeed, the boy asked Cynthia to ensure his parents' safety with her power and influence, and in exchange, he would join her academy.

However, Adam politely declined the offer because he thought he was unfit for such a role. Interestingly, Jasmine Flamesworth volunteered to become the boy's guardian, even though she disliked missions about protecting others. Jasmine said she would do it for Arthur. Once Arthur's guardian was decided, Alice and Reynolds thought they could rest easy.
