In an average apartment block,
"Ah, Madame Ping, you've woken up!" Gacha God
"How long have I been unconscious?" Madame Ping
"About 3 hours, I think." Gacha God "Don't worry, the poison is no longer in your body."
Gacha God took out a plant pot, inside which was a strange plant with white body, but the flower was green.
"I searched all over the seeds in your pocket for this."
"...The gift from the late Dendro Archon, I have always thought I had no need for it, but I was wrong..."
"Um, now that you're fine, I have something to tell you, Grandma..."
The Gacha God grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV. Every channel was featuring the very same video of what they called "The Intro of a new terrorist group to the world".
"This is the test from the Tsaritsa!" Madame Ping said.
"Expect no easy test from the Cryo Archon!" Gacha God

System's dimension
"WHAT!? The Cryo Archon expects us to obey THAT BRAT!" shouted Scaramouche.
"I won't complain as long as he gives his approval to my experiments." Dottore.
"Shut up, you creep! That brat is the first one to put an end to your experiments!" Scaramouche.
"It's getting noisy here!" Pierro.
Immediately after Pierro's comment, all Harbingers turned to look at him. Every Harbinger knew the answer he would give as Pierro was the most loyal to the Tsaritsa and has stayed with her the longest, he would obey to every of her commands.
"How's about we test him a little bit?" Pantalone
"I'm listening!" Pierro
Pantalone did not say anything but took out a black card.
"This card...is connected to all the wealth of the Fatui!" Signora
"Yes, it is!" Pantalone
"Aw...I thought I would be allowed to beat him!" Tartaglia
"But do you really think he'll accept it?" Signora
"In the future, he will need a lot of wealth to achieve something big. We only provide the means, and for whatever reason he doesn't accept it, he will fail the Tsaritsa's test and he does not deserve to be the Fatui's Supreme Leader." Pantalone
"So you're saying that he must change like how the Tsaritsa changed?" Capitano
"That's right! And this is the vital first step!" Pantalone
"*chuckle*...I like it!" Sandrone
Then 10 Harbingers turned to look at Pierro, their oldest senior. What they saw was Pierro's smile, the smile of a jester.

Alexy was standing in front of his class's door and he was eavesdropping to the conversations inside the class.
The boys' conversation
"Man, those Fatui guys were so cool, especially that leader guy!" Jack
"Nah, that leader is not as cool as the guy who introduced him!' Boy A
"Humph, in the end, those guys will be destroyed by our great government, anyway!" Boy B
"Shut up! You brainwashed *ss!" Boy C
. . .
The girls' conversation
"My family is so scared! They wanted to let me stay at home today, but when they called Teacher, Teach managed to persuade them to send me to school today!" Girl A
"I'm scared too, but my parents think those guys were no more than petty thieves so they still sent me to school like normal!" Girl B
"Your parents are right! They were just petty criminals!" Girl C
"But I think they are cool!" Girl D
. . .
"Alexy, why are you standing outside the classroom?"
Alexy turned around and the class monitor, Ariel, was standing in front of him.
"Ah, nothing!"
"Is it really nothing? Or were you eavesdropping?
"No, nothing like that! I was just thinking about something else!"
Alexy then opened the door and walked in, avoiding Ariel's suspicious gaze.

Griffin Palace
"Article 54 of the Constitution states that the Ministry of Defense and the military fight external enemies, the Ministry of Homeland Security fights domestic enemies. So your decision is unconstitutional, Mr. President!" said Madam Booker, Speaker of the Congress, with Krishna Wright standing beside her.
"Article 8 of the Constitution states that the President has the absolute authority over all Ministries of the Executive Branch of the government." President Dukakis
"That is understood within the context other Articles like Article 54, which states which Ministry takes care of which aspect of the country."
"All of those Articles are understood within the Articles that were written before them, like Article 8. That was what the Founding Fathers and Mothers had intended."
"I don't think that what they had intended, Mr. President!"
"Sigh...then let's see what the Judicial Branch has to say!" President Dukakis
"Fine, Mr. President! See you at the court!" Madam Booker said and left the room, followed by Krishna Wright, who turned around to look at the President before going out.

Upper floor of the system's dimension
"Barbatos, do you know what you have done wrong?" Raiden Shogun
"I didn't do anything wrong!" said Venti, who was kneeling with both of his hands tied up.
"Barbatos, where's my war wine?" Pyro Archon "You know it gives me the best sensation when I go to war."
"Where's my sake, Barbatos? I won't ask a second time!" Raiden Shogun
"Where's my precious bottle of red wine?" Hydro Archon
"I also lost a bottle of vodka! And I found this thief near the site." Tsaritsa
"It's ridiculous to accuse me because you can't fine where's your wine is! If you can't find your wine, that's due to your carelessness!" Venti
"Did you just insult our intelligence?" Pyro Archon flared up
"No, that's not what I mean! Hey Morax, help me!" Venti
However, Zhongli did not look at Venti one bit, he was busy making something from Geo, something with round shape, small enough to be worn on a finger - a ring.
"Hey, you're wise, right? Surely you know that I am innocent!" Venti
"Sorry, can't help with this!" Dendro Archon
"Verdict!" Tsaritsa turned to the Hydro Archon.
"GUILTY!" Hydro Archon gave the verdict.
The Pyro Archon immediately stood up from her seat, went to Venti and grabbed him.
"Wait, what are you going to do to me?"
A blue door suddenly appeared
"Work and earn your own wine, you drunkard!" said the Pyro Archon before she threw Venti through the door.
"AHHHHH...NOOOOOO!"
. . .
"Where am I?"
When Venti opened his eyes, he found himself at a modern street with many people passing. He still had his green hat, but instead his 18th century-like attire, he found himself with a white T-shirt, aqua green hoodie and short blue jean. His high socks and shoes were still the same. He was also holding a guitar.
"HEY, AT LEAST GIVE ME A LYRE, YOU..." Venti shouted at the sky.
"Mom, that brother is so weird..."
"Shhh, let's leave!"
(Ahhhhhh, so embarrassing!)
