As time passed, everyone had a similarly stern frown on their face. More than ten minutes had elapsed, and the tokens remained as still as any run-of-the-mill golden trinket.

"Could these tokens be nothing more than mere decorations? There is a gem-like bead on each one. Perhaps these beads have a purpose?" Larry suggested after another ten minutes of observation.

Rachel pointed out, "We've exhausted every conceivable approach and still there isn't a reaction. There doesn't seem to be anything special about these tokens. They might serve merely as symbolic items representing our respective halls, and there might not be any combat techniques that we could obtain from these tokens."

Severin deliberated briefly before suggesting, "What if each of you, representing your respective zodiac sign, attempted to infuse the token with your spiritual energy? Perhaps we'll get a response through that."

The proposal sparked renewed enthusiasm among the hall masters. The prospect of this novel experiment intrigued them, and they channeled their spiritual energy into the tokens. Alas, it was yet another round of disappointment, as the tokens retained their previous unresponsive state.

Having resigned to the situation, Severin finally said, "Let's deal with this another time. You may all take your tokens back for now. My uncle-master might know their purpose if we show them to him when we finally meet him."
