You there! Authorized personnel only!

Huh? So you're Hans? Hmm, you look different than I expected.

Oh, seems I haven't introduced myself.

I'm Noel, head of the Akras Development Department. I'm in charge of research and development concerning summoning.

Huh? How could someone as young as me hold such a position?

Age means nothing in light of genius.

Shall I lecture you on the art of summoning?

All joking aside however, let me explain to you what we're really doing here.

We're currently researching the abilities of certain people in order to produce stronger Units. In other words...

We're researching how to artificially create Units of equal or greater power to those they're modeled after.

Though traditionally one should only be able to summon those who are dead...

...this research has allowed us to summon mock versions of people still alive.

However, they're very difficult to create, so I've yet to be able to mass produce them.

We're still very much in the developmental stages.

Hey, do you know that girl Seria?

She helped us out by providing us her information. However...

I want to get information on many more Summoners.

The Elder Summoners also told me you'd be a great subject, Hans.

At any rate, I look forward to working with you!

What I'd like you to help me with first is to test the Units I've made so far.

These were specially made by me, so don't think you can beat them so easily.

That being said, you're allowed to use up to 15 Units against them.

You'll also be allowed 2 times your normal Cost allowance as well!

In addition, you're also allowed 3 Summoner Helpers!

However, don't forget that you're not allowed to choose anyone that isn't already your friend.

If you should happen to defeat a Unit I've produced...

I will give you as a reward a Unit I have just created.

My goal is to make the strongest Units around.

I would have no need for a Unit that is so easily defeated.

S-Still, I'm pretty sure you stand no chance. I'm just speaking hypothetically.

Well then, I look forward to carefully observing your fighting skills.

Though just watching might be a waste!
