“Alright, Rin told us we can now go to the 3rd capital, after all the survivors or this 1st capital evacuated to the 3rd, but where do we need to go though?” Rayna said as she got 6 drinks for the group from a nearby vending machine.

“Rin told us to go east, as that's where the 3rd capital is, Sakonori, don't you have your phone charged?” Johnathan asked, as Sakonori’s phone was surprisingly still working.

“Oh right, yeah, it says here that it's on Gerhman’s port, which from memory is also an airport.” Sakonori said as she was looking at her phone.

“How long would it take to walk there?” Isaac asked her, unfortunately Isaac isn’t really fond of walking, mainly because most of his classes in high school were completely across the campus.

“Well, if we all sprint, like 15 minutes, but by walking, it’ll probably take 1 hour.” She said, as Rayna made an expression more so meaning “You sound smarter just by saying that.”

“Wait can't we just ask Ludwig to teleport us there?” Satoya pointed out. “Oh! Right, I forgot Ludwig is practically a taxi.” Sakonori said, as the group started looking for Ludwig inside the headquarters, but they just gave up and decided to drive by car (Edward is the best driver, although Rayna could theoretically is the best driver, she gets carsick somehow)

As they were driving, they saw a path of blood leading into a museum, which was abandoned. Due to curiosity, they decided to investigate the museum, in which Satoya came to a conclusion that the blood was recent, and they could take a short detour, in which the group agreed.

“The lights are surprisingly in good shape, and I think someone's here too.” Edward said, and they looked up onto the 2nd floor, and saw Ludwig standing there. “Oh hey Ludwig!” Isaac waved happily.

“I was expecting you all to be here, especially you, Satoya.” Ludwig said vaguely. “What do you want from us? Or specifically me?” Satoya asked curiously as Sakonori was coughing from all the dust inside the museum.

“I want you all to prove to me you guys can leave this capital.” Ludwig said as he took out his sword.

“And Satoya’s calibre here is rather odd, since it doesn’t match any of the categories of a calibre, and besides, I have actually never seen him use a calibre related attack, all I see him do was manipulate his energy.” Ludwig said, pointing his sword at him.

“Trust me, I have no idea either!” Satoya claimed, attempting to calm him down. “liar.” Ludwig said, and suddenly a man leapt into the air, “Look out!” Isaac yelled, before the man crashed onto him, the man is covered in heavy armour, resembling a Roman general, he's holding both a Zweihander and halberd.

“You guys! Take care of Ludwig or something, I think he's associated with him! I'll hold him off!” Isaac ordered, Edward saw a glimpse of his badge which was on his waist and read out who he was, and it said “Abel Azure, S rank 1.” Edward reads out loud as the rest of the group is running up the stairs.

“So you're a sibling of Lud-” Isaac said before dodging a huge smash from Abel’s halberd, “god damn, his physical strength is absolutely insane.” Isaac thought, before dodging another ruthless swing from Abel, he then landed a punch to the face, which seemed to have done nothing, but dent his helmet.

“I guess I'm best suited to fight him out of everyone else, I guess Satoya could take him on, but I think it's better for him to “fight” Ludwig.” Isaac thought while trying to figure out what to do.

“Hey muscle head! Let's talk things out!” Isaac called, but Isaac doesn't hear anything, and only senses the sheer force of the man before. “I think I provoked him too far..” Isaac thought, but while he was thinking, Abel slammed the side of his torso with his Zweihander, blasting him across multiple rooms, destroying cultural artefacts, and some dinosaur fossils, Isaac started coughing.

“Yup, definitely provoked him, if any of the others were to be hit by that, they would probably be dead.” Isaac said while coughing some blood, and he dodged another smash from Abel’s halberd, and Isaac swung at his stomach as hard as he could, dealing damage to him, which by damage, was a very small dent in his armour.

“Yup, this will be a pain.” Isaac thought before Abel grabbed his head and threw him across the museum.
