----------------------------------------
Nooo~ a cliffhanger. And we have a 5 week break (due to the author's illness or something of that nature). Not that I believe Lavi and Chaoji will ever be dead, I wouldn't believe that (they won't kill Lavi just yet, needs some heroic battle to go out and Chaoji is just developing Exorcist skills, it would be all a waste if they killed him off now).
I guess Allen will get even more training or some development that makes him even stronger. Since being at General level bla bla bla from earlier, he's still waaaay below his master and stuff.
