Wallace's mobile device was suddenly flooded by notifications. There were unread messages and missed calls after he finished a set of training in learning the second stage of AOTL. He had given advice to Avalon not to disturb him in his training unless it is very urgent.
As he was about to check the messages, an incoming call from his mother came.
"Mom? What's up?"
"Wallace, are you at home in your workshop?"
"Eh? Not really... Why?"
"Your instructors at the academy told me that you were out... I've been calling you for a while now. Are you safe? By any chance, are you near the terrorist attacks?"
Wallace went silent as he was trying to understand what was happening. He looked at the floating metal ball in the hope of getting some light in the situation.

[ The Tanza City is under siege from a terrorist group called Black Knights. ]
A voice was heard from the earphone connected to Avalon.
'Huh? Since when?!'
