## Plot

In the bustling city of Kasserstadt, Francis Carter warmly receives Musca and Kayl Esholl into his humble abode. Francis, with a tinge of disappointment, mentions the lack of response to their call for assistance. Nevertheless, he graciously allows them to enter. As they step inside, their eyes meet the legendary figure of Selene Silverwood, an adventurer known far and wide for her daring exploits. The room fills with an air of anticipation as Selene explains the urgent plea for aid from Wakil Ashraf, a respected prince from Madan Alyaqa. Küstehauf, a city under attack, cries out for their help. Selene reveals that their path to assistance lies in Ghaba, where they must seek an audience with Wakil. Without hesitation, the heroes unanimously agree to embark on this perilous journey.

Under the skilled command of Francis Carter, their dependable vessel sets sail towards Ghaba, an island brimming with the promise of new beginnings under Stellung's colonization efforts. As their ship gracefully docks in the bustling port of Madan Alyaqa, Francis, ever the kind-hearted captain, imparts the necessary directions to reach Wakil's regal palace.

Meanwhile, within the vibrant streets of the city, Kross, a young and ambitious drallin engineer, eagerly yearns to showcase his groundbreaking combat vehicle concept to Wakil, hoping to secure the prince's support and financial backing. Kross finds himself engaged in a brief conversation with Wakil, only to face disappointment as the prince refuses, citing the untested nature of the vehicle in actual combat. Undeterred, Kross stumbles upon Musca and Kayl, and driven by a shared sense of purpose, he humbly seeks Wakil's permission to join their ranks and test his creation on the battlefield.

On a different path, Ivar, a determined soul burdened by a split personality disorder, diligently scours the bustling port in search of a mage capable of aiding him. Fortune favors him as he encounters Leone Starfield, a knowledgeable figure in the magical arts. Though unable to provide the specific assistance Ivar seeks, Leone intriguingly mentions the existence of the elusive New Moon Academy—an enigmatic institution absent from conventional maps. As Ivar exits the shop, his steps narrowly avoid colliding with Kross, an encounter that paves the way for their destinies to intertwine. Captivated by their conversation, Ivar wholeheartedly embraces the shared mission and readily joins the group, united by their desire to aid Wakil and seek the academy.

Eager to commemorate their newly formed bond, Kross, driven by a spirit of camaraderie, arranges an exhilarating visit to the grand colosseum in Madan Alyaqa. The group, donning the moniker "Smallish Threat," cheers on the skilled combatants as they engage in breathtaking battles. The spectacle ignites their competitive spirits, leading them to make a bold decision—to participate in the contest themselves. Wave after wave of formidable gladiators test their mettle, showcasing their collective strength and unwavering determination. Yet, as the atmosphere reaches its zenith, the third champion of the colosseum, Triek Sabet, steps forward to challenge the courageous heroes. The ensuing clash is fierce, each side displaying impressive skill. However, just as Triek teeters on the edge of defeat, Ivar, driven by his indomitable resolve, unleashes a swift and decisive strike, severing both of her legs and rendering her unconscious, bringing the battle to a triumphant end.
