Secret Base, forging room. Junior is showing Chris the original draft for the claw weapon he was trying to make but failed.
"Mmm... That's a really detailed draft. I guess you really are putting a lot of heart into this. Let's see... Hmm... Ah... I see. I have found a really crucial problem with this design. Have a look at this point." said Chris as he pointed at one of the jointing points of the retractable claw weapon design of Junior.
"Is there anything wrong with the joint? These joints are specifically designed to be strong enough to keep every small parts of this retractable claw weapon in place no matter how much impact is applied to it." said Junior, a bit eager to know what is wrong with his design.
"Yes, this structure of the joint is indeed very strong but at the same time, it limited the movement and flexibilities of the weapon, furthermore, with the application of these joints, the overall structure of the claw weapon will turn into an inefficient lever. Thus, more force will be needed for an effective attack." said Chris, explaining to Junior what is wrong with the structure of the joint.
"Ah... You are right! Why didn't I even notice that before? I only focused on the holding strength of the joint and totally omitted the leverage structure." said Junior, who sounds excited.
"Aside from the structure of the weapon, the material used for forging is also very important. The material of your choice is good enough for a regular weapon but might be a bit too stiff for a retractable weapon that is aimed to do attacks of different forms from all the directions and angles." said Chris.
Junior nodded as he took out a small notebook and recorded everything Chris just told him.
"As for what type of material to be used, you need to learn it by yourself. But for this retractable claw weapon, I have the perfect materials for you." said Chris as he pointed at the sea serpent scale and the leftover material for the sunroof.
Junior nodded as he started observing the materials in amazement.
"But since the Alliance representatives will be here soon, we will be continuing with this later, right now, let's get upstairs and get some rest, you can redraw your draft as we are having our meeting with the Alliance's representative." said Chris.
Junior nodded, like an obedient student who received homeworks from his teacher...

In the afternoon, K and C-760 have once once again arrived at the Secret Base along with some of their soldier, escorting Seito and the others back, and surprisingly the leader of the armored people is with them.
After briefly settling everything down, all the related personnel entered the conference room and started their meeting regarding the identity of the armored invaders they sent to Alliance's sub-quarter days ago...
"So, you are saying that it's very unlikely that they lied about their identity, and it's possible that they are really from the Kingdom, am I right?" Chris asked.
"Yes, even our lie detector did not detect any lie from them. Furthermore, you might be able to recognize this." said K as C-760 took out a silver chip that is wrapped with a small piece of magic resistance leather.
"Yes, I recognize this chip, all the qualified and registered fighters will have this silver chip implanted on their right forearm." said Chris, rather thoughtful.
"We cut opened the arm of one of the deceased and found this chip." said K.
"Hmm... Every silver chips that were implanted into the Kingdom's fighters have a set of unique numbers, I just checked the numbers of this chip, it's a valid set of numbers." said Sky as he showed Chris a list of numbers to Chris with his tablet.
"I see... Hah... So, that deceased lady is indeed one of our fighters huh?" said Chris as he frowned.
Then, he looked at the leader of the armored people.
" I guess, you have a good reason for bringing this guy with you after all huh? K." said Chris. K nodded before instructing C-760 to get the man nearer to the conference table and remove the mute spell they put on him.
However, even with the mute spell removed, the man remained silenced.
"Now I have got a closer look of you, you actually have a proper and clean look, doesn't really look like a sneaky person that will pretend as a member of the Kingdom to ruin the Kingdom's reputation. What is your name?" Chris asked.
The man remained silenced.
"I see... Dalton. Your name is Dalton, am I right?" Chris asked.
Despite not saying anything, the man looks rather shocked when Chris mentioned the name 'Dalton', which means that Chris had got his name right.
"Dalton. I remember I named someone with that name once, but I'm not sure if it's you. But nevermind, that's not our focus right now." said Chris
Dalton who is remained silenced is slightly confused and surprised by Chris's statement.
"Let me just be honest. You were looking for a person that used Godly magic that day, right? Well, I am that Godly magic user you were looking for, if this is the only way to make you speak." said Chris.
"It's you... It's you! You are that law breaker who caused the death of all the ladies in our squad! Even if you got everyone in my squad as your captive, you can never escape the judgment from the Kingdom and His Majesty!" Dalton exclaimed, finally bursted by his own emotions.
"I see, so you are insisting that it's the order from the King of the Kingdom to take me back to Kingdom for illegal usage of Godly magic huh?" said Chris as he stared into the eyes of Dalton.
Dalton stared back at Chris without saying anything.
"Hmm... This guy is indeed not lying. Dalton, you have been deceived by someone who pretended to be the King of the Kingdom." said Chris, in a serious tone.
"What do you mean by that? No! As if I am going to believe a law breaker like you!" Dalton shouted, yet slightly wavered.
"Listen, Dalton. The King of the Kingdom would never dispatch an ordinary fighter squad for such a highly dangerous operation of subduing a Godly magic user that will most likely be an Immortal." said Chris as he stared into Dalton's eyes...

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
