Ch.40: 2F - Hide and Seek (6)

Chapter 40: Quant orders Koon to open his bag, which he doesn't, giving the explanation that the badge used in the test is made of a special material that cannot be compressed. Koon then tells Quant that Anak, Team A's It, has jumped off the bridge to the lower exit, though secretly she is actually on top of one of Koon's light cubes floating out of sight. This is a trap to try to get Quant to jump off the bridge by himself.

Quant notices that Koon is only using one of his two light cubes, and suspects that Anak is riding atop Koon's other one, a suspicion which is surprisingly accurate. Quant then explains that Lighthouses are made of Suspendium and that they must be kept within a Light Bearer's range of Shinsoo control in order to be used. Thus, if Quant drags Koon down with him, any floating light cube should fall with them, letting Quant catch Anak.

Quant jumps off the bridge while grasping onto Koon. As they fall, though, Koon pushes Quant away and holds on to Manbaronkupe, which had secretly been hanging on to his other light cube via a pulley made of high grade Suspendium. Thus, only Quant fell, leaving Koon up near the bridge with Anak. Anak, safe on the bridge, runs for the exit.
