To say that Ace is not taken aback by the situation was the wrongest statement to make over here. Screw that, he was actually pretty shocked. He had waken up for a bit, and after that, he already tried what would usually be his main asset to survive.

And sadly, nothing worked much for him. He tried throwing his cards against the wall, but they didn't even stab the rocky surface, let alone destroying them like how it should be. He tried using his formation of cards for Giga Burst and healing both, and nothing came out. Furthermore, he tried casting healing magics on himself, yet everything was still fruitless.

The only thing he could do over here was to step out of the grotto, though Ace did notice that he was wearing some sort of necklace. Was this something that his savior, or kidnapper, gave to him to shove Ace the weirdness of the situation he was in? If it was the former, he would thank whoever did so. If it was the latter? He would give him/her the ultimate payment later on, for real.

Letting out a small groan that screamed his frustration, the young blond calmly stepped out of the place, letting the most peaceful of the atmosphere surrounded him. It was definitely the nicest change of pace to his almost-in-war-everyday one, indeed. But that didn't mean he would stop here for his personal preference.

After all, he got his duty to fulfill. He got his responsibility.
