Several weeks later, Grien, Genep, and Idreyl returned to Cela with shocking news. They had received information from Haikom planet in Universe 10 about strange activities. Era, another counterpart of Prince on Haikom, and other confidants reported that Yaduro's next targets would likely be elements 49, 50, and 51.

Era explained that Yaduro sought these special elements for power. Element 49 was a massive spherical bowl that could be used as a weapon, though it was extremely heavy. Element 50 was a sword made of ancient metal from Haikom, considered one of the toughest metals in the universe. Element 51 was a feather from an extinct bird native to Haikom, rumored to have magical healing properties.

On Cela, upon receiving this news, Vaikho put her Merey on high alert. Students and trainers now had to be more prepared than ever. Prince and Karry had become good friends, and Prince had started interacting with other students and trainers in Merey. He also learned about the ongoing events in the various universes from Karry.

Vaikho assigned Prince his first mission alongside Karry and another boy named Lym. Merey had a system to identify potential candidates for trainers or students from different locations in the universes. A sudden call came from Prince's home planet, Zureryo. The three of them traveled to Zureryo, to the same country where Prince was born, and found a little girl.

The little girl was covered in dirt, malnourished, and her clothes were torn. Karry approached her gently, but the girl was afraid. Karry comforted her while Prince and Lym watched in shock. They took her back to Merey.

During the journey, the girl fell asleep. When she woke up, Karry bathed her, cleaned her up, and gave her new clothes. Lym, Prince, and Karry wanted to know what had happened to her, but she was too weak to even sit up. They fed her, and Karry gave her some medicine.

After she fell asleep again, Lym said, "The girl looks so desperate. I guess she hasn't had any food or water for many days."

Karry nodded, "Right, Lym. She's sleeping now. You can perform your ability on her."

Lym replied, "Yeah, sure."

Prince stood by, observing everything. Lym placed his hand on the girl's head and injected a wire-like device. He closed his eyes and sat quietly, focusing. Lym had the ability to read any organism's mind, extracting their memories. He could also manipulate his own mind and keep himself updated about various organisms.

During this process, Lym experienced a range of emotions. Several minutes later, he opened his eyes, filled with tears, looking terrified and sad. He abruptly left the room.

Karry called after him, "Lym, wait...."
