The plasma cannon finally fired, but then the blast was reflected into the sky, dispersing into the clouds. The sight was seen by the VHC members alongside Satoya, “what was that?!” A couple members shouted out as they were sprinting toward the district.
“I only know a couple elite ranks who can deflect a G.A.A. plasma cannon, but from memory most of them aren’t even in this continent, they are mostly doing dangerous missions.” Ragnar told the group who were still sprinting. Meanwhile the G.A.A. soldiers as well as the compass rose member were baffled by what had happened.
“Are you really trying to use the civilians as hostages?” A man scolded before East demanded to know who he was. “Blah blah blah, elite rank 16, Rin Satomura.” He said before a soldier attempted to fire a rifle but his hand got sliced off.
“You men fall back, I’ll take care of him.” East assured the group before taking out a longsword with a light beaming across the blade. Rin covered his eyes from the brightness before mocking “That light looks like the light used in hospitals.” East gripped the handle with killing intent.
“You dare call my Excalibur fake!” He yelled before he charged at him. The 2 clashed swords, with East swinging the blade around like a maniac who was given a sword, “considering the fact he's a compass rose member, the highest political and combat force of the entire alliance, he swings a sword like a child..” Rin thought as he was easily moving away from the sword. Then he swung his own sword toward East, slashing his arm slightly, with East screaming loudly in pain.

“Hey…how’d you become a member of the highest authority in the G.A.A.?” Rin asked, confused on how loud he's screaming from a simple wound on his arm. He understood the pain a bladed weapon could inflict upon a normal civilian, but he can’t help but wonder, if this East was truly formidable like the past members who took the East mantle, then why is he screaming like a child?
After a couple minutes of silence, the G.A.A. soldiers who were watching the brief “fight” were also starting to question. “Fine! My father was in the former East 3 years ago! On his deathbed, I asked him to make me the new East! But he said no, but I lied to the other compass rose members that he said yes! I’m only 25!” The man who claimed to be “East” screamed before looking around to see if any of his “men” would defend him.
“So all of the rumours of the current East being the most powerful in 3 decades was a lie?” Rin said in a disappointed tone before sheathing his sword. “Enough of this, I came here because I was bored and saw you guys nearly firing that cannon at these people.” He continued on before a gate opened and took out his phone, then called a phone number, “Ludwig, I regret missing that meeting with the cadres or whatever they were called, so uhh, can you come here to open a gate so I can return back?”
A gate opened in front of him with Ludwig walking through the looking crowd of soldiers looking at the crying East with disappointment, “why didn’t you kill them?” He asked, “not worth it.” Rin said before he walked through the gate.
“You all should find a better job.” Ludwig said to the group of G.A.A. soldiers, then looked at East who was still crying on the floor. “Unfortunately Rin spared you, and I doubt South would do the same considering her reputation.” Ludwig sighed as he walked back through the gate. The gate slowly closed with the soldiers still wondering what to do next, with some of them ripping off their badges, “he’s right, I only joined this organisation because I thought this pathetic manchild was one of the most powerful human beings to ever set foot in this organisation.” One of the soldiers said, “You're right, I wonder if the VHC would accept new members, hopefully though, since the G.A.A. 's military rations are horrid.” another soldier said as he started to walk away along with several others.
