The city lord tells the alchemist that he's too heavy-handed to stop. He's one of the master of the association, and he knows that the alchemist behind him is also a master. The alchemist tells the city lord that he recommended the kid to him, and that the kid is headstrong and contributes a lot to the glory city. He also says that he has a wife at the age of thirteen, so he doesn't understand why the kid would be attracted to a girl of that age. He says that the girl is probably jealous of the kid, because the kid has only one girl, and the girl has already flirted with the kid. He wonders if he should throw the kid out, because he was the one who brought the kid in, and now he'll be throwing him out. He asks the alchemist if he has heard about the soul-reversal technique, but the alchemist says he hasn't heard of it. He thinks that if the kid used the technique, he would be able to defeat him, but that's because the side effect is so great that it's also a way for the two parties to lose. The president asks if he can try to stop the kid from using the technique. The man says he wouldn't use it, because it would be too easy. The next day bustling, why are they here?
