Φ Soon after Suzuka joins me and the boy, the leader of all the gang members gets up and says, “I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS, YOU THINK YOU BRATS JUST MESS WITH US A AWAY WITH IT, I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT TRUE POWER FEELS LIKE.”
I suddenly feel a strong force push me down to the floor, with all the strength I muster, I turn my head to see Suzuka and the boy in a very simir position.”
“You like that kid, this glove I am wearing manipute the gravity around these parts, right now you are fighting the absolute power of nature itself, kids like you couldn’t possibly hope to pare.”
How fasating I would love to take that thing apart and see how it works, but first I o get out of here, freezing the rooftop and then shattering it, should shake him long enough for me to get a solid hit in, and if I don’t Suzuka definitely will.
“Have nothing to say iurn kids, are you feeling the fear of my awesome power, all you do is sit there helpless. You should enjoy this brief moment of reprieve you have, because soon I will inflict such horrendous abuse onto your bodies that you won’t fet this any time soon, oh how I ’t wait to crush you all, a me tell you I won’t go easy on any of you, so don’t be upset little boy, I will be breaking those two girls with you, and I will take special care of the ugly fox one.”
Little girl? Did he just call me a little girl, even after wearing all these male clothes and putting on all this muscle he still called me a little girl, ok now this is personal.
As I am about to put my pn into motion the gravity ag upon us eases up, and the boy beside me standing up says, “My god do you ever shut up?”
“How are you standing up?” The man says pletely shocked by the events taking pce before him.
“Oh, thanks to this,” the boy says lifting up his foot. Looking at the shoe he is wearing I see that a legacy is ag on it.
fused by this I take a look at his fad see that his hand is almost entirely silver but some of it has some discolouration. Both of his eyes are red, but there seems to be a faint light under one of them. He must be hiding his legacy like me and Cyrus did when in Higashinagisa-shi. But the weirdest thing I noticed, is that under his right eye, he has a symbol like Maple does. (??)
“Die,” the man says as he tosses a ball of what looks to be densed gravity at us.
As it approaches us, the boy kicks it with his shoe and it disperses.
“This ’t be happening,” the man says dumbstruck.
“Oh this is reality, now let us bring this to an end.”
As the boy stomps his foot into the ground the gravity around us finally fully disappears. So, I get up and at full speed, I move towards the man with Suzuka right beside me. As I am about to punch him I say, “Who did you call a girl.”
Suzuka doing the same says, “Who did you call ugly.” And together we send the man flying into the air.
Looking up I see the boy high in the air with him and he says, “You made a mistake when you decided to use gravity against me.” As he drops on him, they both crash into the ground at high speed.
Seeing the man unscious on the floor, I grab both Suzuka's and the boy's hands and say “Victory,” with both of them sooing after me.
Φ Breaking the hold of the white-haired girl has on my hands, I whisper to myself, “What the hell was I doing, I was pletely just caught up in that girl's bullshit.”
Wait didn’t that girl just freak out when she was called such, is it actually a boy, you know what that’s none of my business I have already gotten too involved with these two.
Walking over to the gang leader I take the gau off his hands, then I hear the white-haired boy(probably) say, “What are you going to do with that.”
Given him a death stare I say, “I don’t see how that’s any of your business.”
But thearts cirg around me super-fast saying, “Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me.”
“OK, if you must know I am going to take it apart or sell it, it isn’t every day you e across a rare item such as this.”
“I see, so it is rather rare.”
“Yes, aremely illegal, stuff that influehe gravity field here are very dangerous for everyone on Elpída.”
Φ As the boy in front of me starts taking the gau apart, I see something that sets me off, right in the middle of the mae I see a Basileia crystal, so I get close to the boy and ask, “Why is that thing powered by a Basileia crystal.”
“Too close, back away,” the boy says using his hand to ward me away.
While trying to get a closer look, I suddenly hear a rge noise, which is quickly followed by someone shouting, “PUT YOUR HANDS UP WHERE WE SEE THEM RIGHT NOW.”
The boy with us says, “Tch, the Gravitas police.”
Looking around a group of people in matg uniforms are flying on gravity vehicles all around us and one of them nds on the roof and says, “Our sensors went off that someone was altering the gravity field, so we came to check it out and to my unsurprise I found you here Iancu.”
“I didn’t do anything, these guys jumped me and they tried to use this on me.”
“So, you expect me to believe you and those frail little girls over there beat up all these guys, especially when they hand a gravity tool. I don’t believe it for even a sed.
You probably used that tool to impress those girls over there, but look at the state of these people especially the oh all his fingernails missing, you took this way too far. Your mother would be ashamed.”
“Watch your tongue, Arthur.”
“Whatever, why am I even having this versation with you? EVERYORAIN ALL THE PEOPLE HERE AND TAKE THEM WITH US.”
As members of the Gravitas polie arain all of us, I tell Suzuka, “Let’s just go with them for now.”
“Ok, Orb.”

Φ Arouanta and the three strangers I met from the bar are yelling, “Hostess club, hostess club, hostess club,” while draggih them.
As I am being pulled along, I start to freak out. I have calmed down from the flurry of emotions I was having back at the bar, and now all I am left with is the reality that I have pletely thrown me and Atanta off our mission.
Who are even these people I am with, I think they’re humans, but their appearance is a lot different than the normal humans I usually e across.
There are three of them one woman and two men. The woman has light blue skin, and her hair is ridiculously long, but is tangled around her entire body, she also has two curved horns on her head.
One of the men who are on the smaller side, has skin that is pitch bd his right arm does, there is just pure darkness emanating from it. And the st man is a giant even bigger than Porto, but he doesn’t really look human, he is pletely covered in e scales and has a very monstrous face.
I heard Orb say that different races live on the human ti, but to be ho, aren’t these people too weird? I stop walking which causes them to turn around, and then the woman asks, “Hey dragon boy, what’s going on, do you have to barf?”
“It-t-t-t-t is, ju-u-u-ust that we are bu-u-u-usy, aren’t we A-A-A-Atanta.”
“No, we have a bunch of free time to kill,” Atanta says in a drunk.
“No b-b-but, we have a mission that we o aplish, e, ’t waste anymore t-t-t-time.”
Grabbing me by the side, the woman says, “Dragon boy, sometimes you et about your work sometimes and have fun.”
“Bu-u-u-ut, I o finish it.”
“Listen here dragon bht now you're on Elpída, so you o enjoy ever moment of your stay here, because you might die any moment.”
“Wh-h-h-hat do you mean?”
“Let me enlighten you, look up there into the sky, you see that giant castle up there with the giant bubble-like barrier around it.”
Looking up I see exactly what she described, I have noticed it ever since we got here but I didly know what it is.
“You see that castle is responsible for all the gravity around here, but we have absolutely no idea what it is, or how it is making that gravity, all these cities were just built to take advantage of it. So at any moment if the gravity it created ceased, Elpída would crash down into the earth, and we would all die a horrendous death.”
“HAT!” I say as I suddenly feel a huge weight fall on my shoulders. Am I going to die before I got to do anything with my life?
“Yeah, you feel that, it’s the weight of death hanging over you. In Elpída we have a saying: party like this is your st day on the p because it very well might be. So let us party before our demon lord of a boss es and finds us,” the woman says dragging me even harder, and due to my shock I am uo resist as they all dash towards the hostess club.

Φ As me, Suzuka, and the Iancu are brought ihe Gpd headquarters, I look around and see how much amazing teology is surrounding me, I would really love to get a proper look around but due to these cuffs, I don’t think I will be doing that anytime soon.
All three of us are brought to a cell where we all have to sit down together waiting to be questioned. Whe there, I say, “Iancu so why was there a Basileia crystal in the gravity tool?”
“I fot when we became familiar enough for you to use my ranger.”
“Oh, don’t be like that we bonded.”
“Bonded my ass, you do realize it is your fault that I am in this cage. If I did things my way, I would’ve finished everything there before the Gpd ever had a ce to catch me.”
“Hey, I didn’t force you to listen to me, you did it of your own free will.”
“THAT 'CAUSE I GOT CAUGHT UP IN YOUR BULLSHIT!”
“Iancu you o be nicer, or you won’t be making any friends ye,” a square-shaped man says as he walks into our view.
“Shut the hell up Tetra.”
“You know talking like that to the chief of police is a great way to get more time in here.” Turning over to me he says, “Sorry about this one's attitude, let me answer your question in his pce. To put it simply, Basileia crystals are ower every sihing here.”
“But wouldn’t that require a ridiculous amount to make everything here work, I am pretty sure it would be enough to bankrupt most nations”
“Yht, it would be if we bought them, but our nation is the only other pce that has the ability to produce them.”
I heard that they are only found I in two pces in the world, and I guess Elpída must be the sed pce, but wait, “What do you mean by produce?”
“What you call Basileia crystals are actually an artificially made resource, it is made by a specialized kind of mae that creates them using spirit energy, and en to have one on Elpída that makes it for us.”
“But that doesn’t make sense aren’t Basileia crystals a rare resource, if you produce them just like that there is no way they would be as rare as they are.”
“The maes have a maximum output, so even if you feed it infinite spirit energy they only produuch, and we produce just enough to keep this try afloat,” Iancu says.
“Oh, so you want to talk to us now,” I say with a smug smile.
He turns his head in respoo my words.
