'How is he doing all this?' This question ran through their minds.
"It looks like there truly wasn't a fight," One of the panel members finally voiced out.
The others nodded in agreement.
"But he assaulted us... surely the panel will be just in meting out punishment!" Uzeki finally voiced out as it seemed he had been holding himself back.
"It will be unjust for the panel to let Gustav go! He took my Sway force!" Unda stated as well.
"According to the footage, Gustav Crimson did make use of his abilities but we cannot see it as an assault since he did not physically harm anyone," One of the panel members replied.
"I have lost my abilities because of what he did! He put his hand on me! That is assault!" Unda yelled.
"Indeed this part cannot be ignored... Gustav Crimson, while no fights or physical harm occurred, you have taken something that doesn't belong to.you," The panel member in the middle spoke.
"We ask that you give it back to put an end to this issue once and for all,: Another panel member on the left voiced.
"It belongs to me so no I will not be complying," Gustav responded.
"You will be punished if this matter is judged to be an assault since you have forcefully stolen something that doesn't..."
"Let me stop you right there... I only took back what was rightfully mine so y'all need to get your facts straight," Gustav cut the panel member short before they could continue.
"Lies!" Unda cried out.
"We made a bet and he lost. The wager was his Sway force so like I said, I only took what was rightgully mine," Gustav stated.
-"He is lying,"
-"This scum just assualted us out of nowhere,"
-"He took it by force,"
The Xionsi participants voiced out simultaneously.
"It's your word against theirs... Do you have proof? Witnesses that can back your claim?" Upon the mention of this, Unda had a glint at the corner of his eyes.
The group was sure that Gustav had no proof. Although Aildris and a few other teammates were witnesses, it was still going to be their words against that of the Xionsis.
Not having concrete evidence would put Gustav in a tough spot and they would force him to give it back with punishment added.
"Oh yeah I've got evidence here," Gustav statement shook the Xionsi as they stared in his direction with shocked looks.
'He's bluffing,' They had similar thoughts.
"SJ," Gustav called out.
Zziiinnnhhh~
A translucent head sized item suddenly appeared out of thin air. A glowing florescent light, the size of a baby's palm could be seen within while its surface happened to be transparent and looked as smooth as glass.
"Display my time yesterday exchanging dialogue with that buffoon," Gustav pointed at Unda.
The flourescent glow within the sacred jewel suddenly glowed intensely, illuminating the entire hall for a moment.
In the next instant, the surface of the sacred Jewel began displaying a particular footage that was all too familiar the Xionsis and Gustav.
Their faces dropped as the Sacred Jewel even increased the volume of the ongoing scene currently getting displayed.
-"The Klaxosapes will win,"
Unda's loud voice reverberated across the hall.

Minutes later...
"Gustav Crimson, you are free to leave," The panel finally granted Gustav freedom without any punishment after watching the footage completely.
"As for the Xionsi..."
Chatter! Chatter! Scuffle!
The panel and everyone within the hall was suddenly attracted by a ruckus at the entrance of the hall.
"You can't go in..."
"You are welcome to try and stop me,"
Within all of the ruckus, a familiar voice drifted into Gustav's hearing.
Fwwhiii~
In the next instant, a figure clad in all.white robes appeared within the hall.
"What do.you lots think you're doing?" Miss Aimee voiced the instant she stepped in.
A powerful pressure instantly descended upon the entire vicinity, causing a deathly aura to permeate the air.
"This earthling..." The panel members had shocked looks meanwhile the Xionsis found themselves on their knees yet again.
"Miss Aimee, stop," Gustav voiced out.
"I heard about what happened? Did they finalise the whole situation with a stupid verdict?" Miss Aimee questioned while walking towards Gustav.
"Actually no, we just finished and I was about to leave," He replied.
"Oh..." The dreadful look as well as aura permeating from her suddenly ceased. Her face warmed up as she arrived before Gustav.
"Looks like you took care of it," She said.
"Yes, its fine now," Gustav replied.
"I'm late again... but its surprising to see that some people in power can have sound reasoning," Miss Aimee voiced while staring at the five panel members.
"Shouldn't you apologise for barging in and inconveniencing everyone this way?" One of the panel members questioned.
"No. He shouldn't even be here in the first place so next time, make your findings before bringing my student before any panel," Miss Aimee replied before grabbing Gustav arm.
"Let's go," She said while dragging him along as they walked out.
The Xionsis had looks of devastation after Gustav and Miss Aimee left. They had lost a teammate at this point. A teammate who was one of their core strengths.
Now they would have to use a substitute to continue with IYSOP.
------
Gustav had met up with the others outside who had been worried and came along with miss Aimee. It turned out Aildris figured out it must had been related to the bet issue despite the fact that Gustav didn't inform him about it.
Knowing Gustav, he was sure a scuffle must had gone down where Gustav probably had to take the wager by force.
After he pieced things together he informed miss Aimee and they inquired to discover where Gustav was taken before they showed up.
After the whole issue, they returned to the arena and for the rest of the day spectate the other planets who were still participating in the river splitting challenge.
Gustav kept taking notes of the other planets participants expecially the ones that would pose the most threat to earth.

As expected, three more participants representing different planets managed to split the tenth river as well.
Before the river splitting challenge ended, Gustav took note of those who were even more powerful than the participants who managed to split the tenth river.
Just as mentioned earlier, some powerful participants couldn't show more of their strength due to pairing against weaker opponents.
Some participants were also trying to hide their strength, which was most likely because they didn't want others to be aware of their cards before the one on one battles arrived.

In the span of five days, about two more main Categories were completed.
So far the challenges had been types that would require the participants to use their abilities in specific ways and also follow a set of instructions as well as rules.
Points were shared based on how the planet participants performed in these categories and it was mostly high.
Angy and Phinx had managed to qualify for the last stage of the Varlin Chase which was holding the next day while Abestos had been disqualified in the previous one.
As for the Seismic Climb, Fildhor, Falco and Yonda reached the last stage but finished at the twentieth place.
Gustav wasn't in anyway disappointed with the results since they still managed to score a total of six hundred and twenty points for earth.
Angy, Phinx and Abestos had only managed to score three hundred points for earth so far despite reaching the final stage of the Varlin Chase.
As for the other sub categories that kicked off, Gustav had the substitutes participate in them as he couldn't spare any main teammate in the last two days.
Another sub category would be starting the same day Angy and Phinx would participate in the last stage of the Varlin Chase. However, Gustav didn't have any plans of making a main team member participate.
He already decided that the earth sub candidates would be participating. This wss mostly due to the fact that a very major category would be holding a day after the last stage of the Varlin Chase.
This category happened to be a major one due to the fact that it was never reshuffled. This category was always in every IYSOP and this year it would be too.
It granted the winner a total of twenty thousand points which happened to be way higher than many other categories. Gustav was looking forward to it and also making plans as to how earth participants would act.
"It's an entire week long, I think we'll have enough time to find each other," Teemee voiced within the main room of their accommodation area.
"I'm not sure you realise how large the fourth disk is... to make it worse, they're using a dimensional expansion machine," Falco stated from the side.
"So what? Who cares if it is thirty or fifty times larger than earth? The Viondur Egg Category is an entire three weeks duration,"
