Chapter 29

Sunset is standing in front of her classroom to give a report on the Level System that is used to grade the civilization of that race. That everyone in the class is listening too as well as people watching as she’s having the students use their phones to film it. Which has news stations also board casting the filming.
“The levels is how advance a race is, by how advance they are on a scale of being able to travel in space,” Sunset explains.
0 - Is where Earth is, where there is limited space travel or none at all. (1)
1 - Where a civilization has at least one base on the moon of their planet or a space station that can be lived on full time.
2 - Where space travel has expanded to a base on another planet.
3 - All planets in the system are either been terraformed or there are colonies or bases on them. Or that space travel is common enough that it’s like being on an airplane.
4 - Where travel to another solar system is possible with generation ships.
5 - Faster than Light travel has been discovered, some races have skipped to this level.
6 - Have colonies on other systems or a trade network with other races.
7 - A empire or a group of planets controlling a sector of the galaxy and being able to travel to other galaxies.
8 - Control a large part of a galaxy or all of it.
9 - Have beyond faster then light travel technology.
10 - God like to other races.
“Number 10 is basically like Q from Star Trek whose race is so advance that they’re gods to most other races. We deal with one by the name of Discord who pops up time to time to have some fun like how he made those curse springs that is the reason why Ranma changes into a girl with cold water. Equestria is level 7 because we’re an empire, can use planets as space ships and not just with one of my aunts using her powers to move said planet but with an engine to do it, and are able to travel to other galaxies. Earth is level 0 because even if there is a space station, it’s not like anyone can live there full time. Also there’s the fact all the other planets and their moons have been claimed by Equestria already. So Earth isn’t going to be able to level up beyond level 1, and we also claimed all the star systems around our solar system already,” Sunset explains.
“All is claimed already?” Hodaka asked.
“Yes all already been long claimed by us… well there is one system that isn’t. It’s a one rock planet and two gas planets system. The lone rock planet is a livable world but is a nightmare world, like a death world but way worse. The planet is a high gravity planet populated by a species of beasts that are just about indestructible. So we just left the planet alone as it’s just too much work for little reward,” Sunset said.
“They’re that dangerous?” Hodaka asked.
“That and the planet just doesn’t have the resources that would be worth the effort. It be like spending a million and making a profit of a 100. We maybe a space empire controlling a vast region of the galaxy but we still have a budget. More than one empire ended up bankrupt and fell apart as there wasn’t anything to pay the government workers. Like in that episode of Rick and Morty,” Sunset said. “But changing the value of a currency like in the episode wouldn’t work as the few times that did happen people weren’t so greedy that they rather have their way of life fall apart then work without pay till the problem could be fix.” (2)
“So there’s nothing left?” a female student asked.
“No systems of worth anyways. There are rogue planets and space wrecks of generation ships that appear now and then but that’s it. You humans are just way too behind to catch up. But your entertainment is good, the ‘I Love Lucy’ is still a big hit with some races re-creating it for their own race so what is completely alien or taboo for their culture be replace with something else from theirs. You humans are really known by your films, tv shows, music, and video games. So you all have that going for you, as a entertainment planet,” Sunset said. “Also once you humans join the wider galaxy some of the smart ones with technology or machines might find a way to refine something better then it was before.”
“Refine technology?” a male student asked.
“Yes refine a existing technology so that it works better is something that happens all the time. When less advance races join the Equestria empire there are times that an idea that just never crossed anyone else’s minds just pops up and a technology is refined or in some cases makes leaps. But not for Japan as with how badly I have been treated, Japan will be the last ones in line for…. everything,” Sunset said.
“Really?” Hodaka asked.
“As if I have any reason to change my mind when it took me pulling a fake takeover just so that I can do the whole South Park thing with me taking a drive and betting on myself, for the government to finally place me in this school where it’s just a normal school with nothing going on like in all the other schools I been sent to,” Sunset said. “I have no reason to treat anyone nice in Japan. With some expectations.”
“Don’t we get another chance?” a male student asked.
“Would you be nice to someone who takes pointing a gun to their face to do what they suppose to do?” Sunset asked and the room went silent. “That’s what I thought.”
What about making it up to you?” a female student asked.
“It would have to be from the government a whole dragged their feet till, I had a gun press to the back of their heads, to do what they said they would do. Putting me in a good school where I wouldn’t have to deal with anything like all the stuff that was happening in the other schools they sent me to. For me to give them another chance and not just ransack Japan as a supervillain just for fun,” Sunset said.
“You’re already doing that with all the crime groups,” Hodaka pointed out.
“Yeah but I’m getting tired of shaking them down and want to something else. Besides the only hero around here is Strike Man. And once, I get bored with playing supervillain, I'll just take care of the crime groups for good,” Sunset said.
"What?" a male student asked.
"Make them into robots and stuff like that," Sunset said. "The whole being a supervillain robbing the local crime groups is just getting boring for me. So unless they do something to make it fun for me, I'm just solving your organized crime problem. By getting rid of all of them at once."

Author's Note
1 - In real life while there is a Space Station, it isn’t possible to live full time on it yet.
2 - With how expensive space travel is even if it takes place in a setting where traveling into other planets is like taking an plane to another country in real life. Traveling to a planet to harvest or get something would need to be worth the expense. As it be spending thousands just to go to pick up something that is completely worthless and has no sentimental value. Or spending millions just to make one dollar for the trouble.
Also in Rick and Morty the alien federation could had just work without pay till the problem was fix but the bug aliens just didn’t want to work without pay.
