;(Talk to Hosseini)
:Hosseini: Hmm? Is that you, , Paimon? Ah, wonderful, excellent timing! I was just about to head to the Adventurers' Guild to post a commission!
:Paimon: Well, well, well! A commission, coming right to us? Guess we're eating good tonight, !
: Ahem... Paimon...
:Paimon: Oh, uh, that's right. As famed adventurers, we've got some standards when it comes to our fees...
:Hosseini: Don't you worry about that! As long as you manage the various experimental modules as you did before, you'll be well compensated — I guarantee it!
:Paimon: B—Before? Wait, have we met?
:Hosseini: *sigh* Have you forgotten me again? It's me, Hosseini, a researcher from Sumeru. We've worked together a bunch of times already, you know...?
:Paimon: S—Sorry, we just, uh...
:Hosseini: I hope you recall the Energy Amplifier, at least?
: Wait, you're Amplifier Man, aren't you?
: Nothing comes to mind there either...
::Hosseini: What about "Amplifier Man," then? Surely that rings a bell!
:Paimon: ...Oh, right! It's you! You're the one from The Chasm!
:Paimon: You're a lot more cheerful than when we saw you last... No wonder we didn't recognize you.
:Hosseini: Hehe, is that so? I guess I'm just that happy, then — I haven't been this lucky in a long while.
:Paimon: Huh. What happened? C'mon, tell us!
:Hosseini: Well, it's a long story. After we parted last time, I returned straight to the Akademiya and proposed the idea of an artificial Energy Amplifier based on the data we collected.
:Hosseini: At first, my mentor seemed very excited by the proposal. Gave it the "highest praise" right on the spot, in fact. And then...
:Paimon: Then...?
:Hosseini: He booted me out of Sumeru to make me run errands for him in Fontaine.
:Paimon: Wait, what? Why? Didn't he praise you?
:Hosseini: Oh, he did praise me! For having the gall to submit a fantasy novel as a project proposal, I mean.
:Paimon: Err, no matter how you spin it, that's definitely not praise...
:Hosseini: Indeed. I, too, found myself trapped in a pit of despair for some time. However, I had the good fortune of encountering some fine partners and investors here — they took up my project immediately.
:Hosseini: With their assistance, I've successfully integrated my previous research with Fontainian techniques to create an artificial Energy Amplifier — the "Hosseini Amplifier."
:Hosseini: As long as it passes the tests as my calculations predict it should, forget the trials of the God of Wisdom — I may yet even become a Sage.
: Haven't even graduated yet, have we?
:Hosseini: Ahem! No need to fuss over meaningless confounding variables like that. That's just a tiny twist on the road to success.
:Hosseini: The most important thing now is to experimentally verify the actual performance of my Amplifier. That's why I need volunteers to test it within Domains.
:Hosseini: Well, then, , would you like to volunteer to test my Hosseini Amplifier?
: Simply put, you need me to use it while I beat up baddies.
::Hosseini: Yes, precisely. I have nothing but faith in your capabilities, but the current Amplifier design isn't quite up to mark, so do be careful.
: Alright. Leave it to me!
::Hosseini: Now, , I have nothing but faith in your capabilities, but the current Amplifier design isn't quite up to mark, so do be careful.

;(Talk to Hosseini again, optional)
:Hosseini: So, how's the experiment going?
: Eh, within expectations, more or less.
::Hosseini: The Amplifier is functioning stably, and the recorded data is clear. Normally, I'd be thrilled.
::Hosseini: But after seeing how you fight for myself, I just feel like there's still much room for my device to improve.
:: Well, I am a virtuoso of violently vanquishing villainy.
:::Hosseini: Haha, yes, that's true! So I too must keep at it, and work hard.
:: Being able to spot issues is always a good thing.
:::Hosseini: Precisely. And as it happens, I already have some ideas, so this round of experiments was very productive indeed. Thank you, .
: I just noticed... you don't cough anymore.
::Hosseini: Huh. Now that you mention it... My cough has gotten better since my Amplifier started making progress.
::Hosseini: Perhaps it is as the doctors say, that "laughter is the best medicine"?
:: Hope all goes well.
:::Hosseini: Thank you, .
:: Can it cure your nongraduatitis?
:::Hosseini: We might need my mentor's mood to cooperate for that.
:::Hosseini: Theoretically, though, if the Hosseini Amplifier does perform up to par, he'll have to be happy whether he wants to be or not, ha!
