42 Squad Leader, Han Lee 11 (2/2)

Jose shouted. Han got a shock and turned around. Han had just returned after visiting his squad members that were in the medical recovery ward. As soon as he returned to the dorms, Jose had come running to him.

”What? Are you telling me to shut up?”

”No, not that! It's Silence! Skull mask!”

”What's Silence? Ah....”

Han remembered the conversation he tossed to the back of his mind. Kuro had once talked about Silence to him.

”There was one famous student, while training, a part of their brain shut down completely. They lost the ability to speak after the accident, and so everyone calls him Silence. Ironically, following their brain damage, their battle capabilities increased exponentially. He's a special case study.”

”Silence is a third year! His skull mask is famous so there were a number of people who recognized him. We won against Silence! The news had spread all over Ark! Squad 13 had won against a third year! Though, it was just one member.”

”I thought he was abnormally strong.”

Han massaged his numb hand. Silence, the skull mask, had been incredibly strong. It wasn't a surprised that he was famous. He felt the same level of pressure has he had experienced against Instructor Wei.

'It seems to be true that he's stronger than most drill instructors.'

”Also Han, you battled against Silence and won.”

”I was just lucky. In many ways...…”

Han didn't feel the same excitement. Rather, he didn't felt displeased.

”Why do you look upset though?”

”Canute's team suffered a lot of injuries. If this had been a real battle, Canute would have died because of my order.”

”Nobody could have predicted this. This had been the instructor's trickery. Nobody is blaming you, Han!”

Han shook his head.

”It doesn't matter that this was the instructor's trickery or joke. I moved forward with our battle plans without even bothering to scout whether my own information on squad 6 had been correct. There were only seven members on their team. I should have noticed something was off when I noticed they had fewer members than us. Everything that day had been strange from the point they had changed the day to night without prior notice.”

Jose felt a chill on his back upon hearing Han's words. Han's thought process was completely different than the average youth.

”Do you want to be perfect?”

”If necessary, yes. We must go out to war. In the least, I do not wish to lose any of our squad members. If the perfect squad leader is the only one to be capable of this, then I must become perfect.”

Jose held down his body that wanted to tremble. He faked a cheerful laugh. Han was his best friend, but for an instant he felt like a monster.

”I hope I'm in your squad.”

These words were the truth at least. Jose didn't know of a squad leader who was more capable than Han.
