63 Invasion 2 (2/2)
”Ah, aah.”
Kuro took erratic breaths of air. He saw a soldier appear in front with his foresight.
I must kill him.
If I hesitate, my peers will be the ones to die.
Click.
Kuro held his gun.
Kuro aimed his gun to his enemy. They were humans.
'I must shoot this person.'
Kuro's barrel kept trembling. The enemy soldier spotted Kuro. Kuro's arms shook violently.
”Give it here.”
BANG!
Inspector Rue took Kuro's gun and shot. He had undone his handcuffs at some point through this havoc. He took out a small knife from beneath the sole of his shoe and cut the rope tying his hands.
”You're still too young. You probably learned many things under Squad Leader Han.”
Kuro looked up to Inspector Rue. Rather than realizing that his gun has been stolen by Inspector Rue, he felt a sense of relief for surviving the ordeal. Inspector Rue had killed the enemy in place of Kuro.

'Another enemy.'
More enemies appeared from the side of the building. Kuro calculated the oncoming battle with his immediate foresight. He used his telekinesis to lift a steel door from amongst the urban warfare training battle grounds. The steel door protected Inspector Rue's flank.
Kang!
The bullet hit the steel door, causing a loud ringing. Inspector Rue looked to Kuro with surprised eyes.
'He only hesitates to attack. It is a difficult thing to shoot another person after all.'
Inspector Rue and Kuro took care of the enemies who came attacking from the back. Inspector Rue wore a colder expression than usual.
Inspector Rue also used to be a military officer. He was an intelligence officer, and was chosen to become one of the top inspectors of the military committee board.
-Situation Terminated. Enemy has been ki-killed.
Canute reported. It was Canute's first time killing another person as well.
He wore a bitter expression. He would not be able to get a good night's rest for a long while. He would not be able to forget the first person he killed for the rest of his life.
”Squad 13, assemble. How many are injured?”
Nobody in Squad 13 suffered injuries. Han and his squad members assembled. Inspector Rue appeared straggling along in the back while carrying a gun.
”….”
Han didn't say anything and glared toward Inspector Rue. He generally understood the situation already. A skirmish broke out at the back, and Inspector Rue had helped fight against them.
'If Inspector Rue had not fought, there would have most likely been casualties.'
Inspector Rue returned Kuro's gun and raised his hands up in the air.
”I didn't intentionally resist. It was an emergency situation, I will do as you command.”
Han nodded. He didn't trust Inspector Rue. He was used to being doubtful of others.
Humans are never friendly without reason. There is a reason for all action. Adults become used to this type of lifestyle easily.
”Kuro, you stay next to me. Canute, you protect Inspector Rue.”
”Understood.”
Han left Canute to survey the Inspector. Kuro was not competent enough to look after the inspector.
It would be better if Kuro helped to defend the squad with his psychic powers. Kuro lacked the power to attack, but he was a ranking psyker and this mere support helped to keep a heavy load off his shoulders.
Han was able to confirm one thing through this battle.
'The enemy is weaker than us.'
Second years of Ark are artificially strengthened so that they could manipulate psychic energy with ease.
It is harder to find a better kind of human resource for battle than these youths. With the addition of actual battle experience, these soldiers would become terrifying existences.
