The president is slightly taken aback. Some of the congregation looks towards Edmund to see the source of the outcry.
P: I assure you, this is for the best. We do not know the full extent of these powers, so we should proceed with caution.
āIncredulous! Next you will say you will ban the use of nuclear due to its unknown property!ā
He points at the president with his middle finger.
āIt is only through using them we will discover their further use! Progression and advancement are made through trials and error! Walking a hundred fields is better than reading a a thousand books! I object this supression!ā
Alexander lights a cigar and walks up to Rito
āI assume youāre the person who was ātalkingā to me.ā
He closes the balcony doors
Onlookers watch with great interest.
P: I appreciate your concern, but there is a difference between nuclear items and these. One, extremely soon, will be in the hands of the commonfolk. This is why we are already undergoing research to determine what these newfound powers can do.
āIndeed, that is one of the abilities I possess. Iām Ritonor Qintell, but most call me Rito. Nice to make your acquaintance.ā
Francis shakes his head.
āIs everyone here so stupid to believe the rambling of someone possessed by arrogance? Tell this believer in Fate, then. How many legends exist in this world?ā
He spreads his hands, facing the spectators and media.
āHow many version of Little Red Riding Hood do you know? How many intrepretation of Iliad is in the market? How many of you paraphrase a story when it is told to others? Legend is endless! A cultivation of human culture, story, music, art, spanning over centuries old! Is this the arrogance of a human? Ah, fate! Why must you make me meet this believer in arrogance? Deplorable! Deplorable!ā
When he says deplorable, he simultaneously summon a pair of hammers, throwing them into the air.
Offers a handshake
āFedorov, Alexander. I sure am interested in your abilities. Tell me moreā
She notes. But she blends into the crowd, and her face shows nothing of what she feels.
Thisā¦ is he still human? It feels like heās ascended above usā¦
Rito shakes Alexanderās hand in return
I possess powers of a god that deals with all types of magic. He knows how to make his allies prosper and his enemies suffer."
As Edmund says this, whispers emerge from the crowd. Discussing what he had just said.
As you throw the hammers, someone throws a net to catch them, and pulls them back down to their location.
A man in all black approaches Edmund.
Man: Refrain from doing that again, bud.
Francis raises an eyebrow.
"Or what? A hammer is simply a hammer. What worst it can bring is a concussion. Now tell me. If one is to use a hammer properly, what harm could it bring? "
Alexander smiles and says
āTell you what, Iāll consider the offer. We shouldnāt stay out here for long anyways. Letās head back inside.ā
He finishes his cigar, opens the door and walks around, looking at Francisā rambling
Man: Thing is, I donāt know what you could do with that hammer. No one does but you. For all I know it could actually be a bomb. Just follow what President Rogers said and donāt use your powers.
Francis doesnāt even turn, and even raises his voice.
āI refuse! Silence and accepting one fate will bring one to misery as one is drowned in the river of fate! Never!ā
āThank you for your interest.ā
Rito has a sincere smile on his face until until he sees the man that had a troublesome attitude earlier. He became a bit disturbed
