• Mo Bai faced Mahoraga and used Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue.

Mo Bai used Limitless’s Blue and Red against Mahoraga, then summoned Yamata no Orochi to hold it off while he prepared a stronger Blue with a Binding Vow.

• Professor Mornye confirmed that Mo Bai’s Tacet Disc was made by the Academy and had not been tampered with.
• Professor Mornye compared the Tacet Disc footage with the Academy’s records and found that the records showed Rover and Lynae fighting the Voidworm without Mo Bai.
