A-are those... eyeballs behind Ciel?

@Bleepbloop No, just concentric squares.

Aww, look at Noah getting finally all serious and focused.

Also Ciel is, for once, giving immediately applicable advice.

That's good. He's probably the easiest gym battle in the entire Gen 1.

Hmm. i wonder what that thing next to ciels feet in the previous page and this one is, it even fades away when noah stops surging as well.

@Briggs That's the pocket mirror that Noah was initially using to talk to Ciel

Here we go, Noah and Ciel, working together.

So Noah sees through a pocket mirror, darkly. I hope he will get better with this stuff.

Honestly it isn't that Ciel does not try to be helpful.

The problem is she seems bound to only answer what she is asked. I've said before that I think she is his powers "manual", due to his very first wish. The trick is, she seems to only be in 'lookup' mode...he can't just say 'start with lesson one' he needs to say 'how do I use _this_ specific ability'.

In this case Ciel is being so helpful because he made a direct request of her. Teach him how to sense the way she does. Once he got to a point she knew how to help, she has stepped in and started helping.

Basically Ciel is not purposefully obtuse, she just never offers information unless asked for it directly, due to what she is.

Good that she can advise him. :) I wonder if any of the others have a power that could help? Cherry's power was never stated...

Hey, if Felix still has his cards, he may be able to practice on spotting them.
