*Lugina: You again?! I told you to get out of here!
 	
*Lugina: You must have some nerve ignoring me like that!
*Lugina: Or is it you need someone to hold your hand and take you home?
 	
*Lugina: Jeez... Even members of the Imperial Army aren't this incompetent.
 	
*Lugina: Huh? What’s that clueless expression for?
 	
*Lugina: Wait a second... Don’t tell me you’ve never even heard of the Randall Imperial Army?
 	
*Lugina: Wow. Just wow...
*Lugina: Seriously, you’ve almost got me feeling sorry for you.
 	
*Lugina: In that case, there’s nothing else for it.
 	
*Lugina: I, the pure and virtuous of heart, Lugina, shall teach you everything you need to know!
*Lugina: Wipe away your tears of gratitude and remember what I’m about to tell you!
 	
*Lugina: We’ll start off easy. You already know that our land of Elgaia was separated from Grand Gaia.
*Lugina: You know, the Land of the Gods, right?
*Lugina: Alright, at least you know something!
 	
*Lugina: I don’t know what you’re looking so proud for! That’s as common as common knowledge gets.
 	
*Lugina: Jeez...
*Lugina: OK, let’s continue. Elgaia is made up of two large countries.
*Lugina: One of these, the Randall Empire, is home to the Akras Summoners’ Hall.
*Lugina: The Akras Summoners’ Hall is in charge of the nation’s economic
*Lugina: and military affairs, so the whole empire bit is just for show, really.
*Lugina: Randall’s elite class are descended from those who rebuilt the nation after it
*Lugina: separated from Grand Gaia, which goes some way to explaining why they act so high and mighty.
*Lugina: Nowadays they’re just a bunch of old fogeys sitting around enjoying their pampered lifestyles.
*Lugina: Needless to say, their army’s mostly for show, a display of authority, if you will.
*Lugina: Though I guess a talented soldier or two have passed through its ranks from time to time.
*Lugina: Anyway, the other country is the Elgaia Federation,
*Lugina: although their story’s pretty similar.
*Lugina: Neither country has what it takes to stand up to the Akras Summoners’ Hall,
*Lugina: so the Hall effectively rules over the whole of Elgaia.
*Lugina: And as I’m the mightiest Summoner in the Akras Summoners’ Hall,
*Lugina: that makes me the mightiest in the whole of Elgaia!
 	
*Lugina: Well? You probably want my autograph, huh?
*(Rumble, rumble)
 	
*Lugina: Wh-Whoa!
 	
*Lugina: W-Was that an earthquake?!
*Lugina: Though it didn’t feel like any ordinary earthquake...
*Lugina: Now do you see what I mean?!
*Lugina: Cordelica won't be safe until we figure out what's going on.
 	
*Lugina: Now heed my words of wisdom, and get out of here while you still can!
*Lugina: You'll regret it should we cross paths again!
