## Dialogue

### Meet up with March 7th

 **Mission Description**

Right now, you hold three Mastery Marks and are one away from earning the right to make your bid for championship.
The path toward becoming a champion unfurls like a red carpet beneath your feet, so embark on the last step before the time of your great ascent arrives. Administrative District

(Talk to March 7th)
**March 7th:** How'd you sleep, (Trailblazer)? Today marks the end of our Victory Zone journey! We'll need all the energy we can get!
**(Trotter Name):** Oink, oink, oink!
 Slept like a log!
**March 7th:** Great~
 It's finally going to be over...
**March 7th:** Hehe... Thanks for sticking with me through everything.
**March 7th:** Let's do this! **Great Mine**, here we come!

### Head to the Great Mine: Entrance

 **Mission Description**

The path toward becoming a champion unfurls like a red carpet beneath your feet.
The final Mastery Mark is in the hands of a certain someone in the Great Mine. Find and deafeat him and sweep aside all impediments preventing you from starting your match! Boulder Town

(Approach marker)
**March 7th:** The Great Mine's just down here. The IPC should have the venue all sorted by now.
**March 7th:** Ready, (Trailblazer)?
**(Trotter Name):** Oink! Oink! Oink!
 Let's go.
**March 7th:** Alright then, let's go get our ticket to the championship!

### Question Topaz's Support Squad

 **Mission Description**

Topaz's Support Squad just don't know when to give up. They're more unyielding than acutal boulders.
But before you stomp them into the earth again, maybe it's wise to get a few things cleared up first. Victory Zone: Great Mine

(Enter Victory Zone
Great Mine)
**March 7th:** Isn't that Topaz's Support Squad?

(Approach Topaz's Support Squad)
**Harsh IPC Worker:** Hehe... Just as expected!
**Vicious IPC Worker:** We knew you'd turn up here sooner or later! Come to challenge the final **championship contender**?
**March 7th:** I knew we missed something yesterday - turns out I was right: We forgot to teach you guys a lesson!
**(Trotter Name):** Oink! Oink! Oink...
**Harsh IPC Worker:** It's all your fault, making us look bad in front of the director! But since you're here...
**Vicious IPC Worker:** ...We'll be taking back what's ours!
 Dream on, that's our friend you're talking about!
**March 7th:** Yeah, (Trotter Name) are not going anywhere!
 It's your own fault for losing them in the first place...
**March 7th:** Yeah! We're not the ones to blame. Did you think we're just gonna hand (Trotter Name) over willingly!?
 Why don't we talk it out?
**March 7th:** ...No talking!
**March 7th:** (Trotter Name) are our friend, and we're not giving them to you!
**March 7th:** Also, does Miss Topaz even approve of your so-called "support squad"?
**(Trotter Name):** Oink! Oink? Oink! Oink!
**Harsh IPC Worker:** Well, since you asked so nicely...
**Vicious IPC Worker:** ...But don't think we'll be taking it easy on you!
**???:** Yikes, enough already. Don't make a spectacle.
**Harsh IPC Worker:** That sounds like...
**Vicious IPC Worker:** ...Director Topaz!?
**Topaz:** Making a mess wherever you go... I should have disbanded this "support squad" months ago.
**Harsh IPC Worker:** D—Director Topaz, we're sorry!
**Vicious IPC Worker:** We messed up!
**Topaz:** If apologies were enough, there'd be no need for a Talent Motivation Department, would there? I've received a report about your misdeeds — I'll [*sic*] may have to include the results in your performance reviews.
**Topaz's Support Squad:** Oh no...
**Topaz:** As for (Mr./Miss) (Trailblazer) and Miss March, Wilder has informed me of your situation with the Aether Spirit.
**Topaz:** I've spoken to Miss Asta — she proposed that the two of you should decide what to do with the Aether Spirit... Her only requirement is that you keep her updated.
 We'll give it a lot of careful consideration.
**March 7th:** So it's up to us...? But, Miss Asta is (Trotter Name)'s owner...
 Does that mean we can keep them?
**March 7th:** It... sounds like it? But, Miss Asta is (Trotter Name)'s owner...
 Long live the director and lead researcher!
**March 7th:** Hehe... Thanks to both of you for understanding.
**Topaz:** Mm, you should take this opportunity to enjoy the rest of the tournament — no need to rush to a decision now.
**(Trotter Name):** Oink Oink! Oink...
**March 7th:** Looks like (Trotter Name) thinks so, too.
**March 7th:** Miss Topaz, what brings you here? Do you also play Aetherium Wars?
**Topaz:** Hehe, correct, but I haven't come here to challenge a championship contender.
**Topaz:** As the titleholder of last year's championship, I've earned a place in this year's final... but my visit here today is purely to discuss matters with the event sponsor.
**Topaz:** There's been a lot of buzz lately about an "**elite player**" who's been making waves in the gaming community — I want to discuss the situation with Mr. Giovanni.
 I'm sure you've got some serious gaming skills.
**Topaz:** Hahaha, you're too kind. Compared to Mr. Giovanni, I'm practically a novice.
 Can you reveal the true identity of the elite player?
**March 7th:** Now that I think of it, Mr. Giovanni mentioned that the previous tournament champion was defeated by the elite player...
**Topaz:** Hahaha, it's embarrassing to admit, but I did face off against that player... Unfortunately, I didn't quite measure up.
**March 7th:** So, who exactly is this elite player?
**Topaz:** I'm afraid I can't reveal that — Mr. Giovanni specifically reminded me to keep some "surprises" in store for you.
 So how are we supposed to find out?
 Oh wow, I'm sooo "Elated" now...
**March 7th:** Tell me about it... Dealing with a Masked Fool is exhausting...
**Topaz:** Hey, don't lose heart, I'm rooting for you all the way!
 I suppose being the sole sponsor means you can just do whatever you want...
**March 7th:** Seriously, these financially fortunate types are starting to get on my nerves...
**Topaz:** Hey, don't lose heart, I'm rooting for you all the way!
**Topaz:** As a fellow player, I can still give you some good advice — like how the mechanisms in this Victory Zone work, for example.
**Topaz:** Take a look — simply follow this path, and you'll eventually bump into the **guide** for this Victory Zone.
**Topaz:** If you need any information, your best bet is to talk to the guide. Unfortunately, I've got a few other matters to attend to right now, but I wish you both the best of luck!
**March 7th:** The **guide** Miss Topaz mentioned could have important information for us.
**March 7th:** Let's go find him, (Trailblazer)!
**(Trotter Name):** Oink! Oink! Oink!

### Ask the Guide Robot

 **Mission Description**

You must complete the corresponding trials first if you wish to challenge the championship contenders of the Victory Zone.
What will the rules for the Great Mine's trial be? This time, there doesn't seem to be anyone to actively explain anything. Victory Zone: Great Mine

(Approach Guide Robot)
**March 7th:** Is... this the **guide**?
**Guide:** Boop... boop... boop...
**Guide:** Player credentials validated. Hello, hello. Welcome to the Great Mine Victory Zone.
 Can you tell us what we need to do?
**Guide:** Hello, hello. I'm happy to assist.
 Not another robot...
**Guide:** Hello, hello. I am classified as an automaton, I am not a "robot."
**Guide:** Allow me to introduce the puzzles for the Great Mine Victory Zone.
**Guide:** A group of unidentified IPC workers, who call themselves the "**Topaz Support Squad**," have taken over the Victory Zone, causing numerous problems for players.
**Guide:** You must **operate Automaton Spiders** to **trigger an explosion in their vicinity** and disperse these disruptive people.
**Guide:** Please be aware that **if you approach the targets head on, they are highly likely to cause damage to the Automaton Spiders**. Thus, it is imperative that you **detonate the Automaton Spiders behind your targets**.
**Guide:** To clarify, the explosion is purely optical and poses no physical threat.
**March 7th:** What does Director Topaz think about us having to take on her support squad?
**Guide:** In response to your question, I am currently retrieving the relevant audio recording...
**Guide:** "You guys have caused me nothing but trouble... It's time for you to make amends by proving yourselves in the Victory Zone!"
 So it was all an act...
 It's a tough life working for the IPC...
**March 7th:** Haha... Sometimes you just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
**Guide:** This concludes instructions. If you are ready, please follow me to the first **detonation location**.
**March 7th:** Hey, the guide is on the move, let's keep up!

 **Mission Description**

You must complete the corresponding trials first if you wish to challenge the championship contenders of the Victory Zone.

(Approach marker)
**March 7th:** Look, (Trailblazer), there are two workers blocking the way over there!
**March 7th:** Look at them, standing there like statues! It might be tricky getting around these two.
**Guide:** Please remain calm — I have a solution.
**March 7th:** What!?
**March 7th:** A... mine cart?
 Aha, now I get it! That's brilliant.
**March 7th:** Wh—What's brilliant?
 A mine cart? Why?
**March 7th:** What do we need a mine cart for?
**Guide:** ...
**March 7th:** Come on, say something already.
**March 7th:** ...
**March 7th:** ...
**March 7th:** ...Ohhhh! I get it!
 Looks like we're on the same page.
**March 7th:** Hehe, for once!
 Care to explain?
**March 7th:** C'mon, you still haven't figured it out?
**March 7th:** Alright, it's like this. All we need to do is load the robot onto the mine cart...
**They loaded the Automaton Stealth Bomb into the mine cart...**
**March 7th:** ...give it a little push... and then kaboom! They'll never see it coming!
**March 7th:** What do you think? It's the perfect plan~

### Challenge the championship contender

 **Mission Description**

You have completed all the trials, but the championship contender still hasn't revealed themselves. Just who is your mysterious adversary?
Whatever the case, you already have the right to issue your challenge. They can't continue to wear their mask when you fight, can they? Victory Zone: Great Mine

(Approach Giovanni)
**Giovanni:** Haha... I never doubted you two would show up sooner or later!
**Giovanni:** Your enthusiasm is truly unmatched! As the sponsor of this event, and this Victory Zone's **championship contender**, it brings me great joy to see you here!
 It's... you?
**March 7th:** Mr. Giovanni! I guess it's not that surprising...
**Giovanni:** Not who you were expecting? I must say it's truly a privilege!
 As suspected...
**March 7th:** Mr. Giovanni? Seems like my hunch was right all along...
**Giovanni:** Haha, so astute!
 Enough talk, hand over the Mastery Mark!
**March 7th:** Wait, wait, wait — you're not even a little bit surprised by this?
**Giovanni:** Ha, now I see why you've made it so far. Truly impressive!
**Giovanni:** I imagine before our final bout begins, you'd like me to answer some questions... Who is this **elite player**? What exactly is my connection to them...?
**March 7th:** Are you finally going to tell us?
**(Trotter Name):** Oink? Oink, oink?
**Giovanni:** Tsk, tsk... Patience, Miss March.
**Giovanni:** Did you ever wonder why the Aetherium Wars Gaming Association chose Mastery Marks as a requirement for progression?
**Giovanni:** The answer is actually quite simple: in order to claim the title of **champion**, one must demonstrate the necessary **strength** and **resolve** to surpass others...
**Giovanni:** ...and the same principle applies to **asking questions** as well.
**Giovanni:** If you truly wish to question **fate**, and learn the **answer**, then defeat me in a duel and show me your unwavering **resolve**!
(Begin Showdown against Giovanni)
**Giovanni:** It's time to see if you're as strong as she says you are!
(Fight against File:Icon Enemy Everwinter Shadewalker (Aether Spirit Enemy).pngFile:Icon Enemy Everwinter Shadewalker (Aether Spirit Enemy).png Everwinter Shadewalker (Aether Spirit Enemy) ×1, File:Icon Enemy Frigid Prowler (Aether Spirit Enemy).pngFile:Icon Enemy Frigid Prowler (Aether Spirit Enemy).png Frigid Prowler (Aether Spirit Enemy) ×1, File:Icon Enemy Automaton Spider (Aether Spirit Enemy).pngFile:Icon Enemy Automaton Spider (Aether Spirit Enemy).png Automaton Spider (Aether Spirit Enemy) ×1, File:Icon Enemy Silvermane Soldier (Aether Spirit Enemy).pngFile:Icon Enemy Silvermane Soldier (Aether Spirit Enemy).png Silvermane Soldier (Aether Spirit Enemy) ×1)
(During the fight)
**Giovanni:** Now I see why she holds you in such high regard!
(After the fight)
**Giovanni:** Impressive... Truly impressive! What a riveting duel! I, Giovanni di Giorgio, humbly concede!
**(Trotter Name):** Oink! Oink! Oink!
 That was an amazing duel!
**March 7th:** Phew... Miss Topaz wasn't kidding... Mr. Giovanni really knows his stuff!
**Giovanni:** Haha, you flatter me! I've witnessed your unwavering resolve. Now it's time I revealed the answer to your question.
 So, can you give us some answers now?
**March 7th:** Yeah... Surely we've earned it?
**Giovanni:** I've witnessed your unwavering resolve... Now it's time I revealed the answer to your questions.
 Hand over the Mastery Mark — chop chop!
**March 7th:** ...Hey, slow down! We still have questions that need answering!
**Giovanni:** Ha, no need to worry — even if you had forgotten, I had my answers at the ready.
**Giovanni:** So... who exactly is the **elite player**?
**Giovanni:** I can assure you that it is not me — I am bound by an agreement to keep her identity confidential.
**March 7th:** So... what's the special connection between you and the player, then?
**Giovanni:** The answer is... there is no special connection.
**Giovanni:** Simply put, this player wanted to meet you both, and I happen to possess the means to make this happen. Therefore, we came to an agreement: She provided the ideal festival for me, and I would be responsible for taking you to her...
**March 7th:** Who could it be...? Going to all this effort just to meet us?
 Could it be... Topaz?
**March 7th:** Don't you remember what Mr. Giovanni said? This player beat the last reigning champion — it can't be her...
**March 7th:** ...Or he wasn't telling us the truth?
 Time to employ the process of elimination.
**March 7th:** We've met so many people on our journey, there's no way we'll be able to narrow it down...
 Alright, you got me, guilty as charged...
**March 7th:** Could we tone down the narcissism just a tad?
**Giovanni:** Haha, I can't reveal anymore. If you want to know the truth, you must first take this Mastery Mark.
**Giovanni:** Take it and enter the **championship**. Show the universe your **strength** and **resolve**, and you will surely find the answer you seek.
**March 7th:** Mr. Giovanni is right, we got all the Victory Zone Mastery Marks... All we need to do now is wait for the final showdown!
 Let's do it! This championship is ours!
**(Trotter Name):** Oink! Oink! Oink!
**March 7th:** Looks like (Trotter Name) are also ready.
**March 7th:** Then what are we waiting for? Let's go grab ourselves the title!
 Alright! Let's go find this elusive Elite Player!
**(Trotter Name):** Oink! Oink! Oink!
**March 7th:** Looks like (Trotter Name) are also ready.
**March 7th:** Let's do it! Time to end the mystery once and for all!
 Ready? Time to add the finishing touch to our journey!
**(Trotter Name):** Oink! Oink! Oink!
**March 7th:** Looks like (Trotter Name) are also ready.
**March 7th:** Alright then, let's bring this journey to a close!
