the angel’s breath that team genthru has monopolized.
We have to force them to transform a card.
If we don’t succeed,
we won’t have a chance to use our voucher.

While they may not have the strength to win outright,
they’re likely to deal serious damage
to a member of team genthru.
If they use even one
of the angel’s breaths in their possession,
our voucher will transform into an angel’s breath,

It’s actually a level-five exercise.
Killua: Wait. Are you sure it’s okay to skip levels like that?
Bisky: It’s a gamble. If it doesn’t work,
the three weeks we’ve been given will be a waste.
If we followed the proper steps,
he could reach level three quite easily,
but it wouldn’t do him very much good in actual combat.
He needs an emitter-type attack that can push an opponent
back several meters with a direct hit.
If it’s to be an effective weapon,
it has to be at least that strong.
Killua: So that’s level five, huh?
But even if he does clear the training,
being able to send your enemies flying isn’t lethal.
Bisky: That’s exactly right. The only purpose of training
at this level is to give him more options to draw on.
So have you come up with a strategy?
Killua: Yeah, but would you mind telling me what your ability is?
