55 Team Whisky 5 (1/2)

The Elu mage that had been hosting the ceremony stopped his movements. The Elu mage slowly turned around. He had sensed a different kind of psychic energy. The Elu mage peered towards Han. The mage was certain that there was an intruder in that spot.

Kuuuu!

Light spilled out from the psychic crystal. The exact location did not matter, all the mage had to do was blow up the whole place.

-Han!

Han didn't know he was letting his psychic energy leak out. He had only noticed after receiving his squad members' messages. He had lost his cool for just a moment. That tiny mistake had cost them heavily.

Kwaaa!

Psychic energy shot out like a particle emitter. Sergeant Red that had been closest to Han, moved. He kicked Han to the side and shielded him with his body. Han had escaped from the range of attack, but Sergeant Red's right leg had gotten tangled in the explosion.

Hwwiiii!

Sergeant Red couldn't fully escape the range of the explosion, and tumbled across.

”Ah.”

Han, who had been pushed, stared to Sergeant Red. There was nothing below Sergeant Red's right knee, blood gushed out.

'It's my fault. I got worked up unknowingly, and unconsciously let out my psychic powers.'

Sergeant Red was disabled due to Han's mistake. Han quickly ran to help Sergeant Red up, though his own life was in danger.

-We will retreat for now. Cover fire.

Han's lips trembled as he spoke. He wanted to give up on everything. The guilt pressed down on his entire being. However, he was put as the second-in-command. He had not forgotten.

Bang!

Simon's gun sounded loudly. He used his shield to block the Elu warrior's bullets as he joined them. He blocked an incoming Elu warrior's attack. He lifted a rock the size of his head with his telekinesis and threw it at the Elu warrior's head.

”Haa, haa.”

This was Simon's first battle, and he was able to efficiently use his full power. He was prideful and high handed, but he was as strong as he was confident. He didn't easily panic for a different reason than Han.

P—uff

Silence commenced battle without a sound or battle cry. He used his blink skill in succession to slaughter the Elu warriors. The Elu warriors had a difficult time trying to defend against Silence's attacks.

Drip drip.

Blood flowed from beneath Silence's helmet. He had used his psychic powers too much, causing his nose to bleed. His head felt like it was being crushed by a sharp force.

'I must endure. Sergeant Red is…'

Han and Simon took hold of Sergeant Red and ran. Behind them, Silence was fending off the Elu warriors. The Elus bathed in their own blood from his twin swords.

The Elu mage commanded them to stop chasing after the youths. The Elu warriors slowly returned, trudging. The Elu tribe had a more important task than chasing after intruders. Team Whiskey hid in a safe spot for a breather.

”Put pressure on his wound. Turn on the protein gauze. One, two, three.”

Swaaa!

Han flipped on the switch for the protein gauze. A mushy foam gushed out from the end of a rod. The foam hardened around Sergeant Red's knee. The bleeding stopped immediately.

Sergeant Red took breaths with great effort. His bone was broken in many different places from the explosion. He did not have an enhanced body like the youths of Ark.

”Administering pain killer.”

Han ended the emergency treatment as protocol. Once the crisis settled, Squad Whiskey fell into deep silence.

-Get up. Han.

Text blinked from Silence's helmet. Silence grasped Han's collar and punched his face.

Ba-m!

Han's helmet flopped to the ground. They couldn't see Silence's eyes, but his eyes were probably menacing. Han wiped the blood from his lip and stared back at Silence.

”It was my fault. My mistake has ruined the operation. Sergeant Red got injured because of me.” After seeing the members of Squad 13 skewered in that state, his anger boiled over and he was unable to maintain a cool head.

-Shut up.

Silence let his anger rise. This operation would have been easy as pie. If their undercover operation succeeded, the Elus wouldn't have been able to put up resistance at all.

-Now it's impossible. Their guard is up and prepared for any attacks. We are evacuating.

Silence looked to the squad and commanded.

”No, we must proceed with the operation.”

Han said. His words had fed the flames of Silence's anger.

Bam!

Silence kicked Han. Han had been kicked where he was securely armored so he wasn't injured in the least. Rather, Silence's feet was the one hurting.

-How can you dare say that when you're the one who ruined everything?

”I admit everything was my fault. However, we will proceed. Now that Sergeant Red is unable to command, it's up to me to command. I've chosen the route to move forward.”

Han glared chillingly. He had compartmentalized all his guilt and anxiousness to the very bottom of his heart. The one who had lost composure was Silence.

”Silence, listen to Han's words until the end before you make the final decision.”

Simon said.
