Life in Lyranias was transpiring as usual. It was afternoon and people were filling the streets of Utopia and moving hurriedly whether it was to their work or to return to their homes, everyone had their own problems to care of, they couldn't be bothered with whatever problems may arise that had nothing to do with them. Everyone seemed to be entranced while walking towards their destination, some were holding their phone while walking and others had their headphones on as they were walking. But all of this was interrupted. *BZZZZZZ* A blank sound was emitted from every electronic in the island as a whole, as if someone just changed the TV channel promptly and without warning. Many jumped from the surprise, mainly because their phone and every TV or computer around was now transmitting an important message from the ruler of Lyranias, hence the sound. The bearded man, who appeared to be rather old, stroke his beard before speaking. Elbel Anders Nesterov cleared his throat and then opened his mouth ever so slightly to address his people. "People of Lyranias. Today I come to you to inform you of a most horrible thing that has happened in our peaceful Lyranias. As some of you may know, yesterday, hiding themselves in the shadows of the night, there was an attack directed to the Alstreim, being more precise, an attack directed to the School of Advanced Swordsmanship." Elbel coughs before continuing with his speech. A slender hand from out-frame hands Elbel a cup of unknown contents to the public, which she drinks. "Thanks a lot, boy. Now, as I was saying, The Alstreim suffered no major damages and while their ruler has expressed his discontent with this, we are working our best to discover the identities of the perpetrators of such a horrible act. For now, we have discovered that the perpetrators aren't Connecters, they are plain humans carrying guns, from a terrorist organization. I ask you all to be wary of anything and anyone that may look suspicious. I desire you all a good day and safe travels." *BZZZZZ* The transmission cuts and every electronic returns to normal. Many continue walking as if nothing at all had happened. Some high school girls laugh it off rather loudly, but a single hooded man grits his teeth after hearing such a thing. "Do we need to rush things, after all? They aren't even taking it seriously! Damn it all!" The man tightens his fist. He turns around and directs to the central square of Utopia. In said square, where the sun sets in beautifully and many couples come to spend some quality time, the man arrives. He gazes into the place. A fountain sits in the centre of it all and makes for the cherry on top, apart from the fountain, everything else looks spectacular, 4 large green areas which almost seem to be a forest of their own, decorate the square and rows of benches set across the paths between one little piece of forest and the other. The man grits his teeth again. Before he can continue cursing everything inside his mind, another man passes by him, whispering "Everyone's in place." After hearing those words, the tense expression of the man changed for a smile. "Excellent. At my signal then." He says louder than the other one, who only shakes his head, unable to believe a man like that can be leading something like this, but not long after, he gives a thumbs up and runs off. The man takes his hood off, as well as a rifle which he had been hiding inside his clothes before.

Many people crouch in fear, others valiantly start walking towards the man, knowing that most possibly their weapons will be futile against their powers. However, before being able to reach him, explosions start popping out from everywhere, the trees in which the explosives were set quickly fall down. Many other people in the same square take out their weapons as well, all lock-and-loaded, they point their weapons against the Connecters they now had surrounded. Knowing that it may not be the best idea to try and confront so many people, many others also cease their hostilities. They have now become hostages of this group of extremists that somehow infiltrated into Lyranias. "Okay, listen here people!" The bearded man shouts. "We don't like ya taking on the spotlight an' livin' here in such a peaceful manner. It pisses me off that ya can do so many things while the rest of us have to work our asses off to at least have a quarter part of what ya haft here!" He takes his rifle and goes near one of the hostages, a little kid. He points his weapon at the kid's head. "So, we came to crash on your party, darlin's!" The mother of the child quickly covers him. "Tsk, borin'." The man says after the woman covers his child. "But still, we ain't on to killing those that are the same as us. If any of ya is a simple human just visitin' here, then please stand up and come over here. We'll hand ya a weapon." Some people start standing up, afraid of their lives and take up a weapon. "Ya must think that Imma little stupid for doing this, whoever wanted could just shoota me and it all ends here. But that ain't gonna be so easy!" He takes of the hood, now completely, to reveal that under it his whole body is covered with explosives. "And this ain't just me! Everyone else here has the same quantity of explosives attached to their body! So if ya try anything funny, we'll all go to hell!" The situation seems tight. Whatever this people want seems to be big enough as to risk their lives for it. However... --- Back in the government's headquarters, Elbel is sitting on his chair, in front of the desk, where a young man is resting as well. "Do you truly believe this will drag them out?" Elbel says, while resting his head on his hand.

They will never expect it to be a trap set to catch them," Ryo says with a smile. "I trust you will also ensure that no lives are lost, Ryo." "Elbel-sama, you offend me! Everything will go according to the plan! Unless we have an unexpected 'Hero' factor. I just hope no one is crazy enough to do that before authorities arrive, because if they do, it is probable that will lose many people." "Hmm...." Elbel closes his eyes while thinking of what to do. --- Many curious bystanders were now trying to steal a peek on whatever was happening on the central square. Not many were willing to go and try to stop whatever was happening, though. Alexander was between those bystanders. He was unsure whether he should interfere or not. He thought that maybe the police would arrive soon and that then he could join them, but if some brave soul wanted to help then he would join them, but for now he'd just be in standby.
