The next day, October 21st, Wednesday.
Theo woke up early, as usual, to go spar with Akihiro.
Afterward, he cooked Aurora's breakfast and lunch.
"Brother, did you buy the tickets for the movie already?" Aurora asked as they had breakfast together.
"Not yet, Why?" Theo replied as he sipped his coffee.
"Can I call my friends to go with us?" Aurora asked nervously.
She loved her big sisters, but all of them talked about things that she could not understand sotis.
She assud it was because she was younger than the others.
So, she wanted to take her friends to enjoy the movie too.
"Sure, the more the rrier." Theo said with a smile.
"Thank you, brother!" Aurora exclaid with a sweet voice.
anwhile, the Gray siblings were having an enjoyable breakfast, elsewhere in the country so people were having nightmares even after waking up.
Sakura City, Sakura Abode Country.
The Autumn weather made the capital of the country look like a magical city.
The sun shined weaker as the winter got close.
The wind ruffled the citizens who walked in the streets.
And the scenery made jus of why the capital had the na of Sakura City.
Different from Elffire City, where it was only possible to see brilliant red sakura trees, Sakura City was full of trees of all colors and types.
The city had so many types of sakura trees inside its periters, that the aerial image of the city was that of a giant rainbow city.
That's why Sakura City had the nickna 'Rainbow City'.
Tourists from all around the world visited the city at this ti of the year to see the place that ford a rainbow with its trees.
Each neighborhood of the city had its characteristics sakura trees, so had green, so had violet, so had brown, and many other colors.
But one special place of the city was where white and black sakura trees made a magical scene.
It seed like the light and dark elves were dancing on the trees as the autumn wind blew the trees.
A country that had such beautiful scenery in its autumn also had a great tradition related to it.
The whole country celebrated Autumn in the last week of October.
The whole week was dedicated to celebrating the season of fallen leaves.
Street Festivals happened all around the country.
There was delicious street food, gas, contests, and fireworks.
This was the week before the festivals started and it could be seen the whole country was getting ready to celebrate.
Including the capital of the country.
Sakura City had several festivals happening in Autumn Week, but the most famous one was the Rainbow Festival, where all the decorations and food had rainbows.
It was in this mood that the city woke up for a new day that Wednesday.
But an online newspaper promised to disrupt the festive mood of so people, more specifically of a whole publishing company.
Dave Brown was the CEO of the Fury Jump Publishing House, he was the son of the owner and got the job with his father's help.
Even though he was not the best at the job, he could do it without any problems as he had help to do it.
But lately, the company was going through tough tis, firstly the exclusive contracts scandal, then the lack of good works to publish even after cheating mangakas.
But now their problem was even bigger, yesterday he got to know that one of his employees committed several cris while representing the company.
His only relief was that it all happened in another city, away from the capital's dia.
Dave arrived at his office early in the morning, he was already a middle-aged man, so even though he was not the best CEO, he liked having a routine.
He started working, but after working for around two hours, he heard his door opening abruptly.
He lifted his head and saw his secretary entering his office with an alard face.
He frowned as he saw that, he was a strict boss that liked everything to be his way.
So, seeing that did not make him happy.
"Boss, you have to see this. I sent you into your browser." the secretary said with a trembling voice.
Dave looked at the ssage and opened it, he wanted to see what made his secretary lose decorum.
He saw it opened the website of the Daily Sakura Journal.
He looked at the article and paled instantly.
The article said:
[COMPANY TRIES TO MURDER
The Fury Jump Publishing House is a company from Sakura City that works in the Manga Industry. The company was involved in the deception of authors, they tricked mangakas to sign contracts of exclusivity with the company. Although the practice is not against the law, it's frowned upon in the mangaka community. After it was known how the company tricked the mangakas, the Daily Sakura Journal ca to know that Fury Jump did not sign with any authors after the scandal. But, this company reached a new low lately.
Peter Green, an Editor Manager of the Fury Jump, went to Elffire City, last week, intending to poach a new promising mangaka that was becoming famous. But it seed that he thought he was above the law.
He committed a series of cris that ended with a cowardly attack on an innocent.
The Daily Sakura Journal was able to get copies of evidence that the Elffire City Police Departnt is holding against Peter and the Fury Jump.
Peter, while representing his company, tried to probe company secrets from the publishing house that promising mangaka works for.

It is evident in the image that Peter committed corporation espionage.
If that was not enough, Peter committed even more cris.
The Daily Sakura was able to know that Peter got a eting in the opponent company, last Thursday, October 15th.
There he threatened the company to release the identity of the mangaka, after getting to know the mangaka he threatened him to sign into his company.
The Journal got to know that the mangaka refused.
It was then that it seed that Peter lost his sense of the law.
The ECPD (Elffire City Police Departnt) found out that Peter contacted 3 mbers of a local gang intending to hire them to threaten the mangaka on the sa day Peter was refused.
The Sakura Journal was able to get the evidence where it is proved that Peter contacted these n.
The next day, October 16th, these n attacked the mangaka with guns and almost killed the mangaka.
Fortunately, the police were able to get to the scene before anything happened.

Dave read the whole article with a heavy heart.
He knew that the Fury Jump was over.
But he could not understand how the news leaked.
And to the biggest newspaper in the city, nonetheless.
This news would be known all around the country today, and every partner they had would abandon them.
Every potential mangaka in the market would avoid contacting the Fury Jump.
Every mangas that they published would flop when they reached the shelves.
Dave was able to see all that after he finished reading the news article.
He gritted his teeth in anger, he was furious with Peter and what he brought to the company with his silly actions.
"Call all the shareholders!" Dave said in a rude voice to his secretary.
The secretary nodded and left the room.
Dave was feeling helpless.
He could not do anything, the police and the dia were already in his tail.
The Fury Jump had the start of what was the ending of their long history.
