58 Inspection 2 (1/2)
Vrooom!
An unfamiliar colored plane made a landing onto ark. Inspectors dressed in suits filed out of the plane.
The people were of and from various ethnicities and countries. The executives of Ark made small talk with the inspectors while keeping courteous smiles. Their words carried a sharp eloquence, which vastly contrasted the smile he wore.
In the latest committee meeting, the situation had been looked at with much pessimism and negative opinions. A fourth of the Ark second years had died.
Each individual second year had been invested in very heavily. They were youths that had already finished their body strengthening procedure. The budget would need to be much greater than normal in order to make up for all the lost lives amongst the second years this time around.
The inspectors requested a much more detailed report for vast increases in budget.
”These are your personal data bracelets. You will find all the necessary information in here.”
The executives of Ark handed out the data bracelets while they spoke. The inspectors shook their heads.
”We already prepared all the necessary equipment. We will be the ones to conduct the inspection of this site.”
The inspectors independently used their own devices to read the data. The data that Ark would provide them would only be the tip of the iceberg. The executives of Ark frowned and retrieved their data bracelets.
”Where is Squad 13?”
An inspector asked a drill instructor. This question was so matter of factly that the instructors had no way to ignore him.
”If they are training, as we have reported, they should be in the shooting range.”
The inspectors took out the map from their data bracelets. They ignored their attendants and headed off to find the shooting range on their own.
The sound of guns blasting shook the nearby premises of the shooting range. There were a little more than ten youths at the shooting range while a drill instructor watched over them from the control tower. The inspector looked over Squad 13's profiles once again.
'The key members of Squad 13 are Han and Kuro.'

Kuro would soon become one of the strongest psykers. He was also frequently mentioned by Ark. The supreme council was also informed of this.
'Han is well known for another reason.'
Han was not well known from his official data reports, but through word of mouth.
He is a new squad leader, but he had lead his squad to victory eight consecutive times, an unbelievable feat. His name had only made it to the committee's ears because of the happenings around the dimensional crack. He rallied the surviving second years and lead them to survive the catastrophe.
'There were rumors that he had participated in Ark's latest secret military operation.'
Ark had always hidden unfavorable information from the committee.
'They're just children. It shouldn't be hard to get some information out of them.'
The inspector reached the gate of the shooting range. He looked toward the youths.
”It looks like an inspector.”
The man was dressed in a suit that couldn't normally be found in Ark. The 13th squad immediately noticed the inspector. Han calmly looked towards the inspector. He took the initiative to walk down and salute the inspector.
”Squad 13 leader, Han Lee, reporting sir.”
”I'm Inspector James Rue.”
”I will refer you to as Inspector Rue.”
Inspector Rue observed Han. He was a youth with a robust build. His eyes carried a calmness that seemed impossible for a youth his age. Inspector Rue leaned against the shooting range wall and watched the squad.
”Continue on with your training. I'm just here to observe.”
Han divided his squad into two groups and repeated the shooting exercises. After the event, Han put more priority to the shooting exercise drills more than ever.
'Shooting skills turned out to be much more useful than I originally thought.'
Modern weapons had been useful against the minions. Weapons made of dragon bones were made to be used with psychic powers. Against minions whose psychic powers were near nonexistent, modern weapons proved to be much more useful.
'Though everything would be different if we were to be geared with psychoframes…'
Han had seen Sergeant Red's psychoframe in action for himself. It was a different class of modern soldier all together.
The gloves were made of a highly flexible alloy which neutralized most physical attacks. Though the suit was very heavy, the mobility became exponentially faster than if one were to move around without it.
”Commence fire!”
Han completely ignored the inspector's presence and finished the shooting exercise. He ended the training momentarily and allowed everyone to take a break at the shooting site.
