The door opened to reveal Professor Chronos, who wore a black bodysuit and held a large bag of ice against his head. His eyes narrowed when he saw Hayato, Judai and Sho. "What are you three dropout boys doing here? Shouldn't you be studying since you don't have class? After all, when things resume, I'll definitely take some action so that my planned curriculum does not fall behind schedule!"
Dr. Akai blinked at the elder man's condition. "What happened to you? Did you run into a strange Duel Monster spirit as well?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I was..." Chronos paused to carefully choose his words. "Ahem... I had received word of someone trespassing the Obelisk Blue Female Dorm so I had decided to check things myself. There was a bit of a misunderstanding when the ladies thought that I was the trespasser."
"So in other words, they bashed your lights out and before giving you that icepack. Well, I better take a look at it." Shino motioned for Chronos to come inside.
"You know... when I think about Chronos saying that he'll take action, I think he means a pop quiz," murmured Sho. Just as Judai and Hayato both groaned out loud, your PDA starts to beep, indicating that someone has sent you a message.
Open PDA to read message.
The screen changes to show you Minoru. "A package has just been dropped off at our dorm room and it's addressed to you. I suggest you come back here and open it up before Shingo gets ideas." The screen blacked out, letting you know that the message has ended.
In that case, I better get going. Hop out of the bed and leave infirmary.
Before you leave, you hear Sho call out to you. "Um, Negi-san? I think I would like to take you up on that offer. For you to help me that is. But would be it okay if Judai-aniki and Hayato were there too?"
Look at him and say: "If you feel more comfortable with them around you when we sit down for a session, then they can come. The more the merrier, right?"
Sho smiled. "That's right! Thanks a lot, Negi! Maybe we can start this weekend or something!"
Say: "Sounds good to me." Make a reminder in my PDA for that weekend and then leave the infirmary for my dorm.
The walk from the infirmary to your dorm room takes about fifteen minutes. When you get there, you see Shingo hovering around a brown box placed on the dining room table. Minoru sat in one of the seats at the table while working on his laptop computer. "Hey, Negi! I wasn't going to touch your parcel or anything! I swear!"
Roll my eyes and say: "Uh huh" before snatching up the parcel to take to my room.
"We were somewhat concerned about your well being. You didn't sleep in your room last night," stated Minoru.
Say: "Had a strange encounter with one of those phenomena. I was out cold until this morning. Sorry to worry you." Then head to my room and close the door so that I can have some privacy with my parcel.
You are now alone in your room.
Open the box.
Inside the parcel was a computer disk that could fit into your computer and a small black box that had a combination lock to prevent someone else from opening the contents.
Hmmmm... let's get my computer up and running and then insert the disk in it. See what's on it.
The file on the disk is encrypted with a special puzzle which goes: 'There is a seven-letter word in the English language that contains eight words without rearranging any of its letters. What is this word?'
Some minor puzzle elements too? Great...
