"No, I'm really not scared."
"Just a bit nervous."
"It's just that, we've only saved people before, we haven't killed... you know."
"It's fine, it'll get better when the time comes."
One by one, they all tried to act tough, but their abnormal complexions revealed their true psychological states.
They were not afraid, thinking that even if the mission failed, the worst outcome would be death, for which they had already prepared themselves mentally. As the tip of the spear within the Navy, it would be a joke if they cowed at such a moment.
But—
Nervous.
This subconscious emotion was something they could not suppress.
It might really come down to killing someone.
Used to saving lives, they prioritized others' safety in their training as well—none of them had ever seen a life ended by their own guns...
They still needed a little time to calm down and adjust their mindset to face what was coming.
