Bibi's Power

Nija wanted to make sure JoydaG wasn't suspecting Bibi. However, it has been among them since Bibi was found dead -- which now emerges a new conjecture Bibi deliberately manipulated her own death for some reason.

The meeting with Melianor, Max, and Theria leads them to a conclusion, Bibi is elaborating on something, is it them?

Or is it that Bibi is being chased by something and can't express it clearly to everyone so as to play hide-and-seek?

Could it be that Bibi was actually asking for help or did she have another purpose by disappearing?

"Have you seen it?" Nija finally clashed between the silences.

"Since she is my mentor, I will serve with her when I'm is still a rookie in Mantis, you guys also experienced the same thing, right? Do fieldwork with mentors before being released on their own duty or with a team."

Nija and Madhu nodded. Instantly in an instant the memory of their respective mentors flashed in their minds. But that didn't make them sink and the atmosphere of nostalgia as the topics raised by JoydaG quickly seized their concentration.

"On duty with her I had a lot of opportunities to see her tattoos on her arms, on her back, and on her thighs," JoydaG said. She made them know when she could see it clearly.

"You mean, you suspect that Bibi is also a spellcaster? Have you ever heard herself utter it while on a mission?" Madhu asked and amazed himself.

"You don't know? I heard that the spellcasters could recognize each other," Nija was even more surprised by Madhu's question. The statement made the atmosphere of the discussion lead to mystery.

Madhu shook his head.

"No, I don't know and can't feel that from her. It's not true that we can recognize each other with a single glance or multiple interactions. It's not like that. To be able to recognize other spellcasters I must have concrete data such as at least having heard of them casting spells correctly or from the gestures of the body of someone who is already professional in casting spells to kill, protect, and so on. I rarely interact with her, so...." Madhu left his conclusions to Nija himself.

"Okay, I get it," Nija said. For him, it is tantamount to recognizing whether someone has martial arts skills or not, is professional or is still a beginner from the way they behave. The more pro a person is, usually they will hide their true strength. The true power owner is usually not obsessed with showing it wherever he goes. He will use it only in the right time and situation. That's more or less what Madhu wants to say.

"So, there's a special kind of tattoo for it?" JoydaG is like rushing to get an answer.

Madhu nodded, "There is and is a difference between tattoos that have a spiritual function and those that do not. I never saw that tattoo on Bibi."

"How can you see? If she never undresses in front of you!" said Nija.

"Ah, that's right too," Madhu was embarrassed himself with his words. "It's just that..." Madhu got serious.

Nija and JoydaG noticed.

"... is it possible that she can hide her true ability?"

"Is that possible?"

Nija sat up straight and explained.

"It's possible. Everyone who wants to hide their power or weapons will look for a way, just like you did to that ancient dagger from Papua New Guinea."

JoydaG caught Nija's point on the spot.

"The problem is that I don't know how Bibi did it," after saying it, Nija looked very thoughtful about the topic of the conversation.

"Melianor," Madhu suddenly said the name like mentioning a sacred figure who was familiar with his way of life during this time.

"Why with Melianor?" Nija responded.

"If it's true that Bibi concealed her kink, how did she do it in front of Melianor? isn't Bibi often in contact with Melianor?"

Nija and JoydaG were surprised. Madhu spread out a new mistery at the dinner table. The question Madhu said made Nija and JoydaG unable to believe their own hearing. They thought about it aloud.

"Hiding the true ability from us, from the Mantis, may have been possible, but from Melianor... how did she do it? Melianor didn't mention anything about this, did she?" Madhu asked questions like displaying snakes in front of his colleagues. "If Bibi can hide her true abilities from Melianor... "

They both don't want to continue that possibility.

"Damn!" Madhu hit the table. The other customers turned to him. They were shocked and wanted to know what happened, but no one dared to ask or reprimand.

"I don't believe Bibi missed the limit, what did she plan to do?"

Nija looked at JoydaG who had just said the thing. He felt that JoydaG didn't know anything about her own mentor. Even though she was the one who had been with Bibifor such a long time. Longer than us, was taught various techniques by her too, but she didn't know what Bibi was thinking, Nija said silently and quickly became sorry for JoydaG.

"In order for us to know, it seems that we have to start more seriously to find where the gate of the creature will open. We'll probably find Bibi there," Nija said sadly in his last sentence. This leaves everyone in the same frame of thought that is that Bibi is still alive and plotting terror that threatens the world, betrays the organization, and the people who have always known her as a hero figure.

"Does hiding that true power have anything to do with the Faceless one?" Madhu again added to the mystery between them.

Now they have a lot of questions. JoydaG summarized the question that existed between them.

"Then, there are many things we have to reveal. Is it true that Bibi has a special tattoo like Jono's? I felt I had to ascertain my own vision and memory. The second question is, if it is true that Bibi knows how to use spells, whether it is as a tool to kill or protect, when does she use them? As a person who is often with her I have never heard her cast spells when fighting."

"Furthermore, is it true that Bibi hides her true strength, so could it be that what I have been seeing is not The real strength of Bibi? Maybe, she was still holding back, hiding her true strength for other purposes that... sorry I'm not willing to imagine it. Then, how did she hide it in front of Melianor?"

"Is it true that it was Bibi who was specially related to Faceless that she used some Faceless power to hide her true strength? In that case, how much strength is Bibi really are?"

Madhu and Nija looked at each other. They agreed with all the questions summarized by JoydaG. The questions end with questions.

"Is it true that Bibi will bring destruction to the three worlds? Why did she do it? Then... Elijah, what is her role?"

JoydaG stopped asking questions. She rubbed her lips with the index finger of her left hand and a thumb pressed under her chin. She was in deep thought. Recalled by her the words of the Bibi who told her that Elijah contacted one of the Mantis agents to kill her.
