Bonova's heart was racing. Earlier, he had judged from Hikari's status aboard the Argo being higher than Einhorn's that the other party was at least a Sequence Two.
Though they had one Sequence Two and five Sequence Threes here, it was uncertain whether they could defeat two Sequence Twos.
After all, one of the opposing Sequence Twos was a Weather Warlock, one of the most combat-capable pathways among Sequence Twos.

He wanted to say that he had not known Bonova was watching from nearby at
