Ren was sent on a solo mission to investigate a small village which, according to the information acquired by Hibiki, was plagued by a mysterious entity - who kidnaps one child every 7th day of the month aside from killing the livestock of the villagers.

When he reached the boundaries, Ren started to investigate. The village was in the middle of the forest, moon casting a faint light to it. In order to conceal himself, he wore an all-black suit and an assassin's mask. Just as he was about to get closer to the village, an invisible force knocked him back in the forest.

Though surprised by the sudden attack, Ren remained cool and landed slowly into his feet using Aerial Levitation. In front of him, 10 meters away, a large figure was standing - blocking the lights coming from the village.

Ren: ''*What the.. This is the one who is terrorizing the villagers?*'' The mysterious figure extended one of his hands, its palm open. Mystery Man: Zetsu! Sensing the magical force coming out of nowhere, Ren dashed sideways just in time to evade the explosion that destroyed the trees in the area. Ren: Who the hell are you?! Mystery Man: You'll going to regret setting your foot in the village. Killing another being is just sorrowful. Sorrowful! Tears started to break from his blindfolded eyes. Mystery Man: Die! Another set of explosion were fired at Ren, but this time, it covered a wide area - evasion is impossible. Mystery Man: Remember this sorrowful day in the afterlife. I, Aria, ends your miserable life here and now! As the area became clear, it revealed a spherical barrier surrounded Ren, unharmed. Ren: ''*That was close. Good thing I activated Aerial Guard just in time.*'' So you're Aria, huh? What an unusual name for a monster. Now it's my turn! Aerial Shot! Suddenly, the ground shattered and rocks started to float in the air. The rocks then shot towards Aria. Aria: Not so fast! He started to vanish into thin air. Shocked, Ren tried to locate where Aria had gone. The area became quite for a minute, then suddenly Aria showed up at his back, placing his hands before him, their open palms facing each other, and then moves them towards Ren. Aria: It's really a goodbye now. Metsu! Ren felt his magic draining and starting to lose consciousness. Ren: ''*I am not going to fail this mission, for Ichiya-sama's sake. Sherry..*'' Aerial Vortex! Aria was thrown backwards by the force of the miniature tornado circling around Ren. Aria quickly recovers from the defensive attack then takes off his blindfold. Aria: You will never going to take any children from this village! Feel the wrath of Airspace Magic! ZERO!! Ren: *What is he talking about?!* You're the one who will feel the wrath of Air Magic! AERIAL PHROSE!! The two attacks collided and created a blast in a wide area. In the village, people were startled about the explosion and feared that the attack of the mysterious entity is starting yet again.

The area cleared and showed the two wizards still standing, clothes tattered and their bodies covered in wounds. Both breathed heavily as they're starting to run out of magic. Then suddenly, Aria noticed the exposed guild mark on Ren's left shoulder and was shocked to find it out. Aria: You're a.. You're a wizard from Blue Pegasus? Ren: Yes, I am. Then Ren also noticed a mark in Aria's chest that looks like an intersection of a semi-folded wings, one is a bird's wing and the other is a bat's wing. In the middle is a cross mark. Ren: You're a guild wizard too? Aria: Yes I am. I'm a member of the Saint Sinners guild. A guild where most members were coming from dark guilds, turning their backs from evil and started to walk the path of goodness. Ren: Now I remember! You're one of Phantom Lord's Element 4. No wonder your name sounds familiar. Aria: Yeah, a very sorrowful past that I want to forget. Aria started to burst into tears, when suddenly a huge figure started to attack them. Ren: I guess we're on the same mission? Aria: I was just ordered to capture the creature that kidnapped the village's children, bring them back, and stop the one responsible for this horrible acts. Ren: Ichiya-sama just ordered me to investigate. But I guess i need assist you now. Aria: Ready? Ren: Ready! The two wizards prepared to face the culprit, which turns out to be a werewolf. Aria/Ren: LET'S GO!
