Before long, the base of the wall was packed with people. But perhaps out of fear of the Stage SS intruders, they kept their distance and made no attempt to attack.
Ethan and the others stood atop the wall, calmly watching the crowd below.

All seven of the Cathay Republic's remaining Stage SS fighters were with them.
Four held positions of immense authority. Naturally, when the Cathay Republic obtained Stage SS crystal cores, those people had received priority. The other three had been promoted outside the normal order because their abilities were exceptionally powerful.
The moment they arrived, their attention locked onto Ethan's group. One look was enough to change their expressions.
