The group of eight soon left, leaving only Grey and his friends behind. The others were still rushing over, so Grey decided to stay put. They had been separated since they entered this place, so it wasn't bad for them to head to the inner area together.

The inner part of the ruin held far greater danger than this side, so they would need to help each other.

Klaus and Reynolds looked at the bunny Grey was holding curiously.

"Bud, do you want to make bunny soup?" Klaus couldn't help but ask.

Grey rushed back in to take this bunny, it was definitely very dangerous since they didn't know how long the opening would last, yet he risked it.

When the bunny heard Klaus' words, it started to shake repeatedly while shaking its head. It didn't want to be bunny soup!

Other than Grey and Void, the others were somewhat shocked by the bunny's reaction. They didn't think it would react this smartly, this meant that its intelligence was definitely high compared to other Magical Beasts.

Grey chuckled when he saw the bunny's reaction and nodded, "This guy was the one who put me in danger."

Of course, he didn't tell them of his past encounters with the bunny, it was too embarrassing. But there was no harm in telling them that the bunny was what put him in danger now.

"This little guy is dangerous?" Reynolds looked at the bunny, not sure of what to believe. Although he could sense a powerful aura from it, it didn't look like something that could hurt anyone.

"Not it, but its minions. It's the leader of a large group of bunnies. They even have large ones." Grey explained.

"Oh, it's like that." Klaus looked at the bunny leader.

"Why did you take it then?" He asked. He didn't understand why Grey would carry this bunny. Even though it was what put him in danger, since he could escape, there was no need to go back for it. He didn't know Grey to be so petty, especially towards Magical Beasts he wouldn't see again.

Grey replied after some time, "I feel it's the same bunny I saw in the trial land."

"Really?" Klaus looked at the bunny. He didn't encounter it then, so he didn't really know. But since Grey said it, it was most likely through.

Grey nodded, "Do you know what this means?"

"I can meet my father again." Klaus said after some silence.

"We shouldn't put our hopes too high. But yes, I'm certain I saw this bunny in the trial land." Grey had to warn Klaus first. If his hopes were too high, the chances of him being devastated if they eventually do not meet the Principal were very high.

"I know." Klaus replied.

Grey didn't speak too much but focused on the bunny. Since the others were here, he didn't bother to kill it now. He tried to seal the essence of the bunny, but his expression changed when he realized he couldn't.

'Interesting.' He thought to himself.

There was a force in the bunny that was actually fighting back against sealing its essence.

'It has some secrets.' Grey wasn't interested in killing the bunny any longer.

The bunny however showed a fearful expression when Grey tried to seal its essence. After seeing that Grey was unable to, a look of relief appeared on its face.

"Let's wait for the others and continue together." Grey suggested, the others nodded.

The young lady accompanying Ellis soon arrived and sat by the side. Seeing the bunny in Grey's hands, she looked at it with interest. It was just too cute with its large beady eyes and pure white fur. It was larger than Void, but everyone knew if Void wanted to, he could expand his size. Apparently, he liked his small size since it could comfortably lay on Grey's shoulder without any issues.

Some minutes later, Alice, Keith, and Kyle appeared.

Seeing the others present, they heaved a sigh of relief. Since Grey was alive, that was all that was important. They looked at the energy wall, they were not the only ones who were attracted here due to the energy wall. Others who were heading in this direction rushed over as well.

When they saw Grey's group, they all felt the group was waiting for the energy wall to calm down and then head in to search for treasures.

When Grey saw the high number of people coming over, he didn't want to stay there any longer. If some of his enemies were to appear, it would not be good for them if they grouped together. He presently didn't have the help of the Fusion State any longer, so he had to be careful. If he were alone, he might be able to escape from them, but with his friends with him, he couldn't leave them behind.

….

"Such a cute bunny, where did you get it?" Alice asked when she saw the bunny.

She was not the only one interested in the bunny, Kyle and the others who arrived were also curious about it. They all noticed that Grey hadn't let go of it since they came over.

It was a little strange seeing Grey carry the bunny around.

"From that place." Grey pointed at the energy wall.

"You entered?" Kyle was surprised. He had seen it, and although he didn't test it out, he knew that going in was not going to be easy.

"I was there before the energy wall rose." Grey replied.

"Oh, what was inside?" Keith asked.

"A garden. Guess what the garden's guardians are." Grey replied while holding onto the bunny with a playful smile.

"Bunnies…" Alice answered.

Grey nodded.

"But why did you carry this one?" Alice couldn't help but ask.

"It's their leader." Grey said.

"And…" Alice asked.

"I've seen it in the trial land before." Grey added.

"And…" Alice didn't understand why he would take it out.

"Bud, you said you were in danger because of this bunny, and you've seen it in the trial land before. Could it be that it attacked you there as well?" Klaus suddenly thought of something and asked.

From how panicky Grey sounded when he contacted them, they knew that he was frightened.

But… How could Grey be frightened by a bunny?
