“Satoya, Satoya! Wake up dude.” He heard a voice call, as he slowly opened his eyes, he found himself in his room in the headquarters for the 1st capital, and he saw Isaac in front of his bed in a position to wake him up by force.
“Why am I here?” He mumbled, as Isaac responded with “We thought you needed to go to the aid division but we didn’t expect you to kill 2 people without getting injured nor scratched once! You must’ve been exhausted.” Isaac said, impressed.
“What?” He questioned as he looked at his condition, and miraculously, he wasn’t injured nor any sign of injuries at all, everything healed back to its normal condition. “Odd, Rejuvizym is incapable of fully recovering someone, especially in your condition, and you never had the pill Rin gave you during his 2nd training session, and I have never seen any self-recovery calibre except for a couple.” The voice said before going silent once again.
“I'm hungry.” Satoya said as he stood up from his bed, he saw Ashina’s katana sheathed in its scabbard leaning against the wall, and he started thinking, and decided to grab it anyway.
As he left his room, he heard Sendo call him, “Satoya! You’re awake!” He said as he jogged to him worried about his safety, but then Satoya held out Ashina’s katana. “Here, I had no choice since my sword was broken, and this was just the last thing I could grasp onto.” Satoya pointed out as Sendo politely grabbed the katana.
“Thank you, but you need a weapon as well, so what about you use mine?” He offered, although Satoya reluctantly declined, Sendo’s kind expression just made him accept the offer.

“Are you sure you can use Ashina’s katana? It didn’t really accept my energy.” Satoya asked, in which Sendo smiled, and said “I have faith it will accept me eventually.”
The 2 waved at each other as they went separate ways, Sendo was leaving for the 4th capital for an elite rank tryout, as he met the requirements to become one. The elite rank tryouts consist of 3 tests and 1 optional one.
1. Defeating a level 9-10 Iya without any support.
2. Must have mastered their calibre to an efficient level.
3. Must have no criminal history (Some elite ranks were excluded)
4. (Optional) Defeat an elite rank on a 1 on 1, completing this task will immediately promote the winner if they aren’t an elite rank themself, if the elite rank lost, that elite rank will be demoted back to semi-elite rank, and the one who defeated that elite rank will replace the former.
Satoya told Sendo good luck before leaving, attempting to look for the group, which after a couple minutes, he found them all having a conversation at the cafeteria with Rin.
“Oh hey Satoya woke up!” Johnathan pointed out as he was eating a bagel, the others waved at him. Rin greeted Satoya with a wave, and gave him a piece of toast, before standing up and letting him take his spot.
“You woke up just in time, welp mind as well spill it, you all are going to the Midgard (3rd capital), as requested from Surtur, he is a deity, from Ariboli’s pantheon.” Rin revealed to the group as Satoya was chewing on toast.
“Since riding a boat isn’t safe, we just figured why not just send you there by plane.” Rin also mentioned, “Anyway, I suggest leaving now since the plane leaves in 5 hours.”
The group looked at eachother excitedly, although a little sceptical since the fact that a deity requested them to go to his home for unspecified reasons is well, very suspicious, they still chose to go and left the 1st capital’s headquarters.
