Ch.48: 2F - Hide and Seek (14)

Chapter 48: The events in Team B's hide-and-seek test have caused the viewing screens to disconnect, worrying the onlooking Regulars. Koon, however, is asleep.

Meanwhile, Quant has located Ho and Lahel by sensing the location of Lahel's Lighthouse. While he accuses Ho of thinking him a pushover, Ho wonders if and how Quant found out about her plans. Quant tells Ho that she has been caught, and attacks her. However, Parakewl and Mauchi enters the scene and throws a spear at Quant, distracting him long enough for Ho to get into the Safety Zone. Parakewl and Mauchi have teamed up with Lebin, and plan to use other Regulars as bait to eliminate the Ranker. Prakewl contacts Ho, and they agree on a plan... Ho threatens to kill Lahel if Quant goes to attack the Spear Bearers. Quant is extremely pissed at this.

Baam then turns up, and asks Ho why she has Lahel pinned down. Ho replies that unless he attacks Quant, Lahel's life will be in danger. She claims she knows Baam's type, and believes that if he continues he will become a monster. When Ho stabs Lahel, Baam attacks Quant, who immobilizes him with Shinsoo. Quant tells him to imitate the flow, and to use it to save Lahel while he takes care of the Spear Bearers. Quant does not actually believe Baam can master this so quickly, as it took him over a decade to learn the tecnique. However, upon defeating Parakewl and Mauchi, Quant truns to see that Baam has immobilized Ho and saved Lahel... Could he be a real "monster"?
