Chunji jotted down notes into a spare notebook and followed along Alto's words. A broader understanding had been obtained and would be put into practice when there was time. PB, or Personal Barrier, sounded easier to master now that it wasn't exclusively emotional magic. While it was an integral part, Chunji could empathsize with the idea of "I do not like getting hurt," and use that for his essence. 

Although Alto's words concerning using prime essence for any type of spell seemed concerning. Chunji doubted there would be a need to utilize that method, espescially since his prime essence was unknown, but who knew. "In the case of using Prime Essence, would Personal Barrier become stronger?" It may seem obvious like the reasoning why an apple would fall from the tree, but Chunji wondered how strong would using Prime Essence to fuel a spell would be.

Other than that, it was time for application. Rio and Chloe seemed to be sticking together and Davil was homing onto Otis. That left Chunji the three possible choices of Hildegrunde, Ciara, and Iraleth. It was obvious who the choice was. "Would you like to partner with me?" Chunji said upfront to Iraleth. 

Chunji wanted to minimize interaction with Hildegrunde out of respect and he had a bad opinion of Ciara thanks to their terrible first impression. Naturally, it left Iraleth as the best possible option out of the trio.
