66 Invasion 5 (1/2)

”M-Monster! He's a real monster!”

A soldier shouted fearfully while randomly shooting his gun at Canute. No matter how many bullets hit Canute's body, he could not be stopped. Psychic light beamed from his eyes.

”Haaa, this is great.”

Canute said trying to shake off the pain from his body.

This wasn't the exact order of the battle plan, but at the same time it was. Canute opened fire with the enemy forces to distract them.

Han didn't let this chance escape and signaled to his team. Squad Zero ran forward through the passage while using their psychic skills and shooting their guns.

A squad member was hit and faltered. It was unknown whether he died or lived. The remaining squad members continued to engage the enemy and dashed forward.

”You trash b$#%$#!”

The enemy soldier holding the automatic shotgun aimed. Simon was now close enough to use his telekinetic powers against them.

He used his telekinetic powers to push their gun barrels into another direction to mess up their aim.

”Die!”

Simon shouted murderously. The anger Squad Zero had endured exploded out at once. They had seen the never ending corpses of the first years as they reached this place.

The enemies mercilessly killed the first years who could not even put up a proper defense. Squad Zero no longer viewed these soldiers as humans. The two forces saw one another as nothing but monsters.

”Humans will never submit to you…” The enemy commander mumbled.

”Shut up!”

The squad had forgotten that the enemy commanders were to be detained alive. The squad members checked to make sure that the enemy soldiers were all dead. Han could not stop his squad member's anger.

The priority at this moment, was to check Canute's condition. The squad members who managed to calm down helped to support the injured.

”Canute, wake up. How many fingers am I holding up?”

Han held three fingers up for Canute. Parts of Canute's body were hollow here and there, but most of his muscles and flesh had managed to regenerate.

”Three.”

”What is my name?”

”Han Lee, why are you asking these stupid questions? I'm okay. Go check the other guys first.”

Only one person died in Squad Zero, while three people were seriously injured. The first years peered through the door with fearful eyes.

Han helped to support Canute up onto his feet. All this while, Han couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable and repulsed.

'Fighting against minions is much easier- no matter what their number. Humans… on the other hand…'

This was Han's first time personally killing another human. It felt as though something inside of him had disappeared.

The act of killing others, also results in a sort of death. Murder is an act of killing oneself. Han is not a psychopath who could remain emotionally disconnected. Controlling his emotions, and disconnecting one's emotions were entirely different.

'Humans must not become used to the act of killing other humans.' Han abruptly reminded himself. He didn't need any reason to follow this way of thinking. Anyone with a bit of morality would believe so.

Once a human becomes undisturbed to killing, that is when one would truly becomes a monster.

At the fourth mock battle ground, Kuro fiddled with his gun nervously. Han made a temporary team to rescue the first years. This was the first time he's been left out of Han's battle plans.

'He must not trust my skills and left me here.'

Kuro understood Han's standard when he selected squad members for his team. Kuro felt pathetic.

'If only I could fight without hesitation like the others…'

Kuro's basic personality went against anything related to battle. This was especially the case against other humans.

Ark clearly knew the flaws of Kuro's personality for battle, but they didn't rush to force Kuro to change his personality.

Ark's researchers explained, the root of Kuro's excellent psychic strength is probably due to his personality.

”Kuro, the inspectors are watching us.”

Jose said to Kuro. Jose helped to command along side with Dimitri. Jose didn't particularly stand out in any one subject, but at the same time had fairly good passing marks for all subjects and skills.

He especially had great leadership skills. It didn't matter what situation or what role, he could fulfill the role without much struggle.

He also had a flexible easy going personality, so he could be paired with any type of person in the squad.

”Do you think Han will be okay?”

Kuro mumbled. Dimitri, who finished his break, stood up.
