Chapter 33 (1/2)

TEORA – Maroon 5 –

You won’t regret it?

Within Metallica’s inner walls, there was an area where security levels were unusually high Those ere allowed to enter were subjected to thorough body checks, and had to surrender all the weapons they possessed It here Neito was heading to

Leaving his subordinates in a different area, he passed through the gate that looked like so from a sci-fi movie He went into the reception room

[Pardon my intrusion]

Calling out, he entered He wondered what kind of rooular office that could be found in any company

It was a spacious reception room, with an antique table and black sofa as the furniture inside the room The bookshelves were lined with black books, and in the roo computer

He looked around for a bit before spotting someone inside the room

[Oh, you’re here, huh Come in, punk]

(TLN: 小僧 (kozou) – it can also be interpreted as brat, but I’ll stick to punk)

The first person he saas General Raz, and with his long hair tied in a topknot, he gave off an aggressive aura He was the head of personnel, and he was the one who assigned Neito to the Okinawa branch

[…H]

The other person earing white clothes and an eyepatch Unlike General Raz, he was ressive aura, he had eyes that pierced the soul It was like a lifeless human, which creeped Neito out

But, Neito knew him He remembered his face fro the company, Neito frequently wondered what had become of him

[…Professor H…]

Professor H [H] was just a codename for him that stood for ‘Head of Field’ With the aid of his efforts, he practically made Metallica

Staring out as a doctor, he advanced his research and attainedhis talent In other words, he was a considered as a genius scientist Fros that surpassed human limits] On the surface, he was a real [mad scientist]

For his research, he strayed fro for Metallica Ever since he deviated fro on y] which Metallica uses He was a person who had wide influence over the company

He currently holds the vice president’s seat, and together with General Raz, they’re called [The Twin Dragons]

(TLN: It literally translates as [two-dragons] but Twin dragons sounds more poetic)

[Oh, you know me?]

Professor H’s eyes focused on Neito Neito didn’t express any e his whole body for strengths and weaknesses It sent shi+vers down his spine He tried faking a smile

This is also a battle Expressions can reveal a lot about an individual

Neito strengthened his spirits and continued fighting

[Of course Professor H Your abilities are on par with General Raz You’re one of Metallica’s legendary figures]

[……I see I guess I’ether with Raz is a bit… well I desist that you continue doing that]

Professor H clearly disliked the idea Maybe there was so on between him and General Raz Neito tried to find an excuse for his mistake

[Head of Field Leave it at that The reason he was called today is for an evaluation T

his a direct order frootten? We aren’t allowed to cause a commotion…]

[… I understand Such an unpleasant situation we got here]

[… Leave it at that]

It was like they were each ai for each other’s throat but they were prevented fro so for some reason

[Let’s make this quick Hey kid, no, was it Komori?]

[Yes]

[For capturing the special region, and subjugating the B-class Raood job For your efforts, you are awarded the Metallica Medal of 1st class]

Fro medal and handed it off to him

[Yes!]

[I never thought that you would be able to conquer the special region]

Raz was expressionless as ever

[Yes…]

[If you ever failed, the plan was forunnecessary]

BlingRaz’s beast like eyes were piercing right through him

[Well, I’m sor-…]

In the heat of the ized In reality, Raz could’ve defeated Ramone and the Santana No, surely he would’ve done it with ease

This is bad What do I do? I really don’t want to get on his bad side

What do I do? What do I do?

Neito was in a state of panic for a moment But,

[…Fuu~ HAHAHAHAHA!! I’!]

Raz lost his coh

Thinking about it, this was the first time I saw Raz out of his usual composure

[Ha, haha…]

[Don’t be afraid! You did well I th Your words that day was proved with this result]

Raz deliberately patted Neito shoulders to the point that it hurt And it was scary, but he was relieved

Hearing the words “General Raz”, you would immediately think of an unbeatable villain He was an individual who stood near the top of Metallica

Neito had made a declaration and accomplished it (EDN: refer to ch21-22 for the conversation between Raz and Neito) so he brightened up;him

Raz was surely a straightforward person There was no ulterior hed What he expressed in public hat he truly felt inside This h in relief

He was able to crush opponents in the battlefield like bugs, but he was also able to get along ith his subordinates

[Th-Thank you very ement]

[I never taught you anything If I were to teach anybody, they would be dead before the second day of their training HAHAHAHA!]

[Raz, could you suppress that idiotic laughter of yours? I’ll handle it from here]

After Professor H made such remarks to General Raz, he turned to Neito with his cold stare

[Koiven, starting froain, you are hereby moved to internal FA as a head This of course, includes your subordinates under you]

(TLN: IDK the literal translation/abbreviation of this FA thing, but it’s similar to the HR department of a company)

[Eh?!]

This was clearly beyond what he had expected

Sure, he did head the operation in the special region, but what he only did was take command and make plans

He was currently level 3 He was assigned as a squad leader Even with his achievements, he couldn’t have easily been promoted to level 4 in the first few years he was hired Level 4 was a position where no normal commoner could’ve achieved

I et promoted to level 4

He had this in histo be very slim
