(at a cafe)
KAE- What-
BAIZHI- Yes. This is gonna be my goal. Don't you believe in me?
KAE- I- I do. I mean, I myself have 4 Resonic Skills. But having all 9...
BAIZHI- Is it that hard?
KAE- I don't know. I mean, I have seen people here with 6 Resonic Skills too. But never saw someone approaching for all 9 skills.
BAIZHI- Is it because it's not worth it?
KAE- Well, there are 2 types of Mages here. One who focus on one Resonic Skill and get better in that to achieve higher mastery in that. Others are those who tends to learn multiple Resonic Skills. And there's a reason for that.
BAIZHI- What is it?
KAE- I have seen some people combining their moves from different Resonic Skills to make a super move during combat. Sometimes, those combat moves give more damage than a move from a Mastery 4 Mage.
BAIZHI- Whoa... I wonder how powerful someone could become with all 9 skills.
KAE- True. But that depends on how well you implement the combination. And that comes from experience. How many skills do you have?
BAIZHI- Only 1... Vivid Render Mastery 1.
KAE- Ay, that's not bad.
BAIZHI- I know, but using Vivid Render alone isn't gonna help me alone. I need to learn other Resonic Skills to get better in combat since I can't get better in my current skill.
KAE- It's fine if you can't reach higher mastery in Vivid Render. Maybe you can get that in any other skill. Look at me, I have Mastery 2 in Primal Sketch because I'm good as a support mage with sigils :P
BAIZHI- I see.
KAE- And don't worry, a lot of SPs are Guild Leaders too. If you ever need assistance, you can always ask them for that. I'm very sure they won't deny you in helping.
BONES- (sudden appearance) Who needs help?
KAE- Omg hi Bones!!!
BONES- Hi there. On a date with someone?
KAE- Oh no, no- He just recently got promoted to SP, so I was getting him aware about the system here and also about Resonic Skills. He wants to learn some new ones.
BAIZHI- Yeah.
Although Ramos told me no one would be able to tell who I am, I'm still worried if he already guessed... He looks like a serious type of person, too.
BONES- Bones. SSP under the Patrol Department and Guild Leader of The Bastion Shell.
BAIZHI- Oh. (nervously handshakes) Baizhi- SP under the Justice Department-
BONES- Why so nervous?
BAIZHI- Oh well, because... an SSP + Guild Leader is standing in front of me...
KAE- (laughs) Lol, don't worry, he's a chill person.
BONES- Sort of.
BAIZHI- I see.
BONES- But yeah, no need to be nervous around me. Looking forward to it if you're ever interested in learning World Mason skill.
BAIZHI- Yeah.
BONES- I'll catch you all later, got some urgent work.
KAE- No problem (^^)!!!!!
(He leaves.)
KAE- So, what have you decided?
BAIZHI- Hmm. If I have decided on a goal, I shouldn't hold back then.
KAE- Well, I like to see you motivated!!! But don't push yourself too much, okay?
BAIZHI- Yeah.
KAE- Alright, it's already late now. I'll meet you tomorrow at HQ, okay?
BAIZHI- Yeah. See you tomorrow.

(on bed in his room)
Man, I think I really like her... But I don't know if she likes me back or not...
I mean, considering her breathtaking hug, maybe she does...?
Hmm. I'll try to get to know her more during work hours.
Speaking of work hours, Mini told me SPs can join 2 departments. Hmm, I wonder which one I should join.
Definitely not joining the Service Department, that guy Trakktor scares me. THM Department also scares me... It's literally monitoring those Guild Leaders... True nightmare (;-;)
Then I think it's the Patrol Department. I have heard good things about their leader. I'll apply for their department tomorrow.
.
(the next day)
Ah... day 2 of my SP work!!! I'll get a lot of stuff done today and then join the Patrol Department as my 2nd department.
On my way, I saw someone... bullying a furry?
Uh, what?
??????- Bruh, are you really born furry?
??????- Yeah? So what?
??????- Seriously, Danman, you really lack masculinity. No wonder furries like you are always such a p**sy.
According to the Remiss City Rules, no one's allowed to bully anyone. But he looks jacked as hell, too.
I should stop him, but I don't know if it comes under my department or not...
??????- (pushes him away) Get off, furry. You're still weak with that Resonic Skill you have. Being a furry is honestly such a debuff.
DANMAN- Ow bruh. [NAME: DAN, MASTERY 1 IN WORLD MASON]
??????- That miserable face of yours wants me to punch it.
DANMAN- Ugh.
??????- (go for a punch but gets stopped) Huh?
BAIZHI- Are you not aware of the rules here?
I mean, I'm still an SP, so my department shouldn't matter. I can't see bad stuff happening.
??????- Oh wow, another SP ass. You cooperate slaves really like intervening in other people's personal matter huh?
BAIZHI- Lol, what personal matter? That looks more like a fatherless behaviour.
??????- Clearly, we both know who's the real fatherless, kid. I am more masculine than you.
BAIZHI- It's funny you call yourself masculine when your entire existence is just a stereotypical trope.
??????- Seems like someone wants a good hit from me. (goes for a punch at him)
BAIZHI- (ducks down and hits his face with a kick) I don't see the point.
One of the SP protocols says not to use Resonic Skills on rule violators. Thank god I'm still flexible as f**k xD
??????- (gets away) Nice one, kid. (jumps at him with a flying kick)
BAIZHI- (crosses his wrists to block, but gets pushed away on impact)
Ow- Yeah he indeed has more strength.
??????- I don't need any Resonic Skill or SP gadgets to crush you into a pulp. (goes for another kick)
BAIZHI- Whatever (blocks again and aims for his face)
??????- (gets slammed to the ground)
BAIZHI- Now tell, whose more masculine huh?
??????- You- (goes to punch him again but gets tased by someone)
BAIZHI- Huh?
???- Bruh. This guy again. (scans him using his terminal) Waleed. This is your 2nd Violation for harassment and bullying. Remember to pay the fine of 350 RC to get the violation removed.
WALEED- Bruh. (looks at Baizhi) Count your days, SP. (walks away)
"Count your days" Yeah, as if I'm not doing it already bru-
???- And you, aren't you aware of no-combat policy?
BAIZHI- (gulp)
???- Bruh, you're not even in the Patrol Department.
BAIZHI- I- (gets a message on the terminal)
F**k... It's from one of the executive itself...
And he called me in his office...
Yeah... I think the Hidden Valley incident is gonna repeat...
