The lightning clan is located in Agritura, the capital city of Drauton. This is also the city where Kai lives. Driving to his destination, Kai used his Genome watch to call his mother. He asked her to send his academic history as well as his test results. The same results the doctors did on him when he came out a coma. His mother sent him what he needed so he went to the building. He had to park far away as most of the parking was reserved for the surpassers that stayed there as well as all the personnel. He had to park well over 500 meters away. It was at moments like this that Kai wished he could just take out his kickstarter and use his powers to run. However, he couldn't because the civilian use of powers in public was illegal. You had to be certified by the government before you could. People like police, firefighters and such they were certified and the only ones who could use their powers in public. But even then it could only be used when in the line of duty.
This law was only so strict in Drauton because the surpasser to passer rate was so low. In other countries, there were cities where surpassers were able to use their powers freely. Cities in other countries had areas where it was okay to use your powers and not in others. Normally within five hundred metres of a clan building the use of powers is permitted but in Drauton that wasn't the case.
You also had to obtain a permit to open a surpasser type shop that required people to use their powers. Schools had to have the same permit.
The majority of all passers did not have a problem with surpassers but everyone running around in the streets using their powers would cause chaos. But of course, some surpassers would see this as an injustice. An obstruction of who they are. So there were resistance groups that wanted surpassers to be able to use their powers whenever and wherever they wanted. Similarly, there were passer groups that believed that surpassers came about when passers needed protecting. So they should do just that and protect. When there was no need to protect there was no need for their powers.
Taking both accounts into consideration the World Government came up with the idea of creating 'surpasser zones' where surpassers could use their powers freely. There surpassers are free to light a cigarette with the fire they created or even draw water from the air to quench a thirst. They could do anything as long as they didn't destroy/manipulate public/private property or hurt/hinder other people etc. Most of the surpasser related businesses were located in surpasser zones.
The World Government came up with this plan because more and more surpassers were defecting to the resistance groups. One of the resistance groups aims is to create a country of their own. They would move to a plot of land that is now marked as no man's land. The dream is for all surpassers to move there. There they would create their own laws and establish a government that looks after their interests. Currently, most laws were created to suite passers with a few laws designed for surpassers. Even the World Government's goal was ultimately to protect all passers. But if they created their country they would have nothing to worry about not even the Zolma. If the Zolma ever attacked they would be able to defend against them. As for what happens to the passers is none of their concern. Of course, the World Government couldn't let that happen so they came up with laws that suited both parties. Despite the fickle yet tense tension the world continued to move. People still lived with smiles on their faces, some more oblivious than others.
Kai walked into the skyscraper of a building. As he did the smell of detergents pervaded his nose. Looking at the white tiled floor he saw a slippery when wet sign. So Kai cautiously walked to the receptionist and told him that he wanted his results certified. First Kai had to show proof of address as well as he had to show them his ID card. After they knew who he was Kai sent his results to their email account. Once they received the results they certified it online.
