TEORA – Maroon 5 – Chapter 36

The newly established research facility was dubbed [Purgatory Island] within Metallica

Situated on the Pacific Ocean, the exact location of the island was known to only a fewindividualsin Metallica The island was covered in a specially-engineered do it invisible to radars

Since it wasn’t easy to freely travel to and from the island, it was obvious that Neito and his team would have to live on it Of course, they were provided with the residential, dining and recreational facilities that they needed, and there were also other inhabitants apart from the employees of the research facility

Other than Niina co that there are no women to fool around with, it see…

On the day of their arrival, they immediately resumed their work

Although he wasn’t directly related to the co energetically in reviewing and researching theproject At any rate, he was in a hurry to get the job done

It was sloppy to a certain extent, but when mistakes were made –

[Oh, some errors popped up I’ll fix it]

– he’d quickly correct it Well, his attitude was a little bit of a problem, but in the end, he still finished his work

[You’re really good at this]

[Is that so? Well, then I’rab some food?]

[It’s still 11AM]

[Breakfast doesn’t exist for ry at this hour I’ve been eyeing that katsu since this ] (EDN: Katsu-don is pork cutlet with rice)

[Well I’uess]

[Katsu curry would much be better]

This kind of conversation was very common

Tsurugi, as he was focused on weapon testing and co developed for the competition

Tsurugi had no background in such things and he didn’t have a country of citizenshi+p, but his skill was definite Little by little, he showed good results On the other hand, Maki, the develops

Since Maki was a scientist, it was obvious that she had no battle experience For these i

[Regarding this data, Maki-san, the shoulder’s power is too much and the balance is off]

[A-Ah, is that so…? Maybe I was too fixated on only the right-handed finishi+ng blow…]

[Understood, but a punch’s power doesn’t solely rely on the shoulders It also depends on the hip movement and footwork of the individual — Like…this…!!]

[Wow! …That’s an ai-san! Then I’ll ive it more power]

The si

Anice was also displaying her capability in the research lab

She was a genius in battle and engineering due to the special education she received as the daughter of Crihtened up due to Anice’s cheerfulness, and at tiuided the and conditioning his body to be able to handle the augmentations that would be made

The next day after settling into the facility, Neito took the compatibility test The compatibility test was not solely created for the competition, but had always been used for projects Tests were perforth, reaction speed, mental resistance

, immunity and the like

Neito’s compatibility results were {D}

The coed by:

{A} – Comentation is above 100

{B} – Coe subject

{C} – Comentation should cause no problem

{D} – Comentation is not recommended,

{E} – Low comentation is risky

{F} – No co and is not advised

For Neito, it was lucky that he was at least able to so of {D} due to his strong mental fortitude

In order for the and gain soh it wouldn’t be easy, he decided to do his best until the date of his augmentation

So, aside from his duties as a lab head, he trained with Anice as his coach

[There there– Nate, just a little bit more ♪]

[…O…okay–!]

[Three ht!]

[… 198 … 199 … Haa!! … 200!!]

[Good job! You did well Here, have a drink]

[…th-thank you Just a moment, please]

While having training weights on his back, there was a monitor displayed in front of him with a button that Neito had to press continuously The training was supposed to sith and his reaction, but this really took a toll on Neito It wasn’t so he could skip out on, but if it wasn’t for Anice’s help, Neito really thought he wouldn’t be able to do it

(As the days passed by productively in the research facility, Neito’s teah athe projects with their experience)

It really isn’t a bad teaht

On a certain day, Neito, who just finished his training regiment, went back into the research facility to retrieve certain things he’d forgotten He spotted Maki as still working alone

Ooh, she’s doing her best… She’s really focused

Neito thought fleetingly

I really want give her soo cheer for her We are co-workers after and all… And she did a lot of good things for me too… Well in a sense, I want her to like me

Mulling over his troubles, he bought a canned coffee

If I say ‘good work’ and then give her this coffee… She wouldn’t think ofif I made a bad impression on her…

As Neito andering around in the corridor, Niina happened to come by

[Ni-Niina, why are you here at such a time?]

[Eh? Ah, I occasionally stay in the lounge since it’s bothersoames to play Why is senpa…ah, ohh, I see]

Niina peeked into the room frorinned[W-what is it?]

[Oh nothing… Senpai, did you know that Maki-san prefers tea than coffee?]

[Really? I-is that so?]

[Yeah, so it would be better to give her tea There’s a vending ht want to offer her that since it’s the one she likes]

[… I’ll be back after buying it]

[Hey, senpai]

[What?]

[You still have that coffee? Can I have it please?]

[… Here]

[Thanks]

Neito smiled bitterly at Niina’s sharp intuition, but was admittedly impressed by the fact that he was noticed

[You’re really a villainous person, senpai But ould’ve thought that you’re that kind of person in private It really confuses ]

Niina co the can

[…But well, when you get serious… I guess you look cool, so I think you’re okay overall]

While saying as such, Niina hid his e down his whole After that, he left

With even such trivial things going on, the days left until the competition continued to swiftly pass by

Problems also came up

It hen Neito checked up on the research booth

[……Hmmm]

[What happened, Maki-san?]

[Ah, Neito-kun… Nothing, it’s just a little set-back]

Neito decided to hear more
