Alerted by the use of mana and her body getting heavier, Gwen summons a dark purple pentacle under her feet. The magical disk spins faster and faster, matching the rate at which gravity increases.

Matt: "Retaliating with the same immoral acts you were victim of only makes you as bad as those religious zealots were. It's that same "they did it to us so we can do it to them" mentality that fuels the cycle of hatred, violence and needless suffering.

Yes, people used to do horrible things... So what? People changed a lot since the Order's fall, and along with them, the world. Sure, a few extremists remain here and there, but never as numerous or powerful as before. And those who have yet to do wrong are not to be held accountable for their ancestors' wrongdoings. I don't know if you noticed by now, but not everyone is the same. There was still a lot of people who opposed the Order, some ready to throw their lives away to protect monsters... Or those who were simply trying to live a peaceful live, forced to leave everything they had behind to flee the dreaded conflict... And what about those with different beliefs who preached virtues such as love, compassion... acceptance... They were all in the same boat as you in regards to the treatment the Order would give them. Even among the Order's people, most had never seen a monster in their lives and didn't know any better than the lies they were fed everyday... Were they horrible people too? You can't blame the whole for the actions of the part, even if the part is the majority! I'd never call anyone evil for I believe there are no evil people, only people who conduct evil acts. An evil person is someone who does wrong for the sake of doing wrong, and I can say with absolute certainty that this kind of person doesn't exist. Be it for a greater good, by force or out of ignorance, we all have our own motives and reasoning to justify the righteousness of our acts. Whether those reasons are valid is still debatable but, they all lead us to the conclusion that what were doing is good.

That's the difference between you and I: I don't judge people as a race, I judge them as individuals. This is why bringing up the atrocities committed by others in an attempt to guilt me by association won't work. Their actions are their actions and my actions are my actions. If you're angry at them, don't project it onto me, and even less onto thousands of innocents." His body was giving signs of nearing its limits, but refusing to surrender to the G-force, Matt persists through the physical strain put on his body and continues: "I've been rejected by both sides of the coin, so I'm familiar with that feeling of loneliness. Does that mean I should try to kill every humans and dragons? Or should I do what I can in order to help as many people as possible so that THEY don't have to feel what I felt? And believe me..." He leans in closer, causing the surface to crack under his hands, "...if your intentions are of the former, you better have more up your sleeve because your magic tricks won't save you." He finishes, somehow still holding the pause under the crushing pressure through sheer willpower.

Under the abnormally strong gravity, only my hair seem affected as they can be seen reaching lower in my face. At the same time, the blue glow of the lines running across my clothes appear to be gaining in intensity every passing second. "Tsk, tsk, tsk..." I shake my head, "Were you never told not to judge a book by it's cover? You've got nothing but wrong assumptions about us. My friend-" The legs of my chair give up in a snap, lowering my eye level to that of the table's height. "My friend over here already addressed most of them, but I'll correct the ones he didn't.

We don't represent the government nor are we affiliated with any of them. We don't have the authority to seize your weapons and that's not what we were hoping to do when we came here. No matter how much freedom you're given, a nuclear attack will certainly not go unnoticed and it's just basic common sense that heavy investigations will follow. Now which country would [Fort Ironwall's country] want to blow up, if any at all? I have no idea, but you've shown yourself even less trustworthy than they are by attacking Lescatie for reasons you have yet to reveal, which makes you extra suspicious. By the way Lescatie is stil a Demon Realm and the biggest hero producer, so if your motive is revenge on the human race, that's the second least strategic target for you, the first being Royal Makai itself.

As for N.I.G.E.L., heck if I'm gonna tell you anything about him! ...For free. If you want any additional information regarding my A.I., you'll have to offer something in exchange."
