Chapter 23: The Rise of Radius Suit
A Close Call
The examination hall was filled with tension as the instructors made their final rounds.
"Alright," one of the teachers announced. "We will now check for any cheat notes or any devices."
The room fell silent as the examiners walked between the desks, scanning each student with who were seating quiet acting all innocent .
Ryo sat calmly, watching as they searched his belongings and around him.
His invisible micro-symbols ensured that no one could detect his secret status window.
After a thorough inspection, the teacher finally nodded. "You're clear. You may go."
Ryo exhaled slowly. "That was close."
He didn't waste a second. As soon as they dismissed him, he rushed out of the school, ignoring Tucker and the others calling after him.
Something was wrong.
His father's distressed expression earlier wasn't normal, and Ryo needed to find out what was going on with his company.
---
As soon as Ryo was out of sight, he activated his micro-symbols, causing his body filled with tiny tattoo enchantment symbols to glow faintly.
The air around him compressed, shaping into a new, advanced version of his exoskeletal suit.
The metallic plates formed smoothly over his body, covering him from head to toe in an armor of sleek, cybernetic design.
A jet propulsion system emerged from his back, lighting up in blue flames.
With a loud BOOM, Ryo blasted into the sky, heading straight for his father's company.
---
As Ryo hovered over the area, his eyes widened in shock.
The entire facility was under a massive siege it was in chaos and near distruction.
Massive, feral beasts—mutated and enhanced—were rampaging through the buildings, attacking everything in sight.
Some of the creatures were crushing cars, others were tearing through fences, and a few were chasing down terrified workers.
Some security guards were firing their weapons, but it was useless—the beasts were too fast and strong.
People were running in every direction, screaming. Some had their phones out, recording the disaster instead of escaping.
And then—
At the far end Ryo spotted .
A young boy, separated from his mother, had fallen to the ground, his tiny hands reaching out in terror.
A massive wolf-like creature—with blackened fur, glowing red eyes, and drool dripping from its mouth—was lunging toward him, teeth bared with steam from its mouth.
Ryo's mind raced.
No time to think.
MOVE.
His metallic hand transformed—the fingers to the elbow expanded, gears clicked, and it became a massive, thruster-powered robotic fist.
With a burst of speed, Ryo rocketed down, slamming his fist into the wolf's skull.
CRACK!
The beast's head was driven into the pavement like a nail being hammered.
It twitched once—then stopped moving.
Ryo turned to the kid.
"Run," he said in a robotic, distorted voice, his cybernetic suit altering his speech.
The child nodded frantically and bolted toward his mother, who was screaming his name.
As Ryo stood up, he got a good look at the beast he just took down.
It had a twisted, mutated appearance—like someone had experimented on it.
It was massive, yet its fur was patchy and uneven, and its eyes looked wild.
If rabies and steroids had a child, it would look like this.
Ryo shook his head. "What the hell is going on here?" Directing his questions to a man in security suit.
---
A security guard, still holding a half-useless rifle, rushed over.
"What happened here?" Ryo demanded.
The guard, panting, pointed toward a wrecked truck in the parking lot.
"A delivery truck arrived this morning. The driver left without a word. When we opened the truck, there were cages inside—but the beasts were asleep. Then, suddenly, an alarm went off in the vehicle.It awoke the beast"
Ryo's eyes narrowed. "The sound is the cause of their rampage ?"
"Yeah! The moment that alarm went off, the beasts woke up, went berserk, and started mutating!"
Ryo clenched his cybernetic fist.
"This wasn't an accident. Someone planned this."
He turned toward the remaining beasts, now tearing through the facility.
His HUD(Heads up display) scanned them—their bodies were still growing and changing, their muscles twitching unnaturally.
They were getting stronger by the second.
Ryo's robotic voice rang through the area.
"Alright, time to clean up."
---
Ryo rocketed forward, his right arm transforming into a missile launcher.
With precision, he fired off three guided rockets, each hitting a different beast.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions rocked the area as the beasts howled in pain.
One of them—a bear-like monstrosity—charged at him, its claws glowing with some unknown energy.
Ryo's left hand transformed, gears twisting and shifting until it became a rotating plasma cannon.
He fired a rapid barrage of energy bullets, each one slamming into the bear's thick hide, scorching through its fur.
The beast staggered before collapsing.
Ryo didn't stop.
He switched to blades, his forearms extending into twin energy swords.
With a flash of movement, he weaved through the chaos, slashing down beast after beast.
One went down. Then another. Then another.
The remaining creatures hesitated, their animal instincts sensing danger.
Ryo activated his boosters, launching himself into the sky.
The crowd below—workers, security guards, and random onlookers—watched in awe.
A few of them started cheering, pointing their phones at him.
"What is that thing?"
"Some kind of superhero?"
"No way, it's a new military weapon!"
"it's a Military Tech solider!"
"No, It's the Cyber Ninja!"
One voice rang out loud enough for all to hear—
"CYBER NINJA!"
Ryo blinked behind his visor.
"...cyber ninja?"
The crowd started chanting the name.
"CYBER NINJA! CYBER NINJA! CYBER NINJA!"
Ryo sighed. "Great. Now I have a nickname."
Still, he had no time to celebrate. He scanned the area—all the beasts were down, but the damage was severe.
The facility was wrecked, and there was still one big question left unanswered—
Who sent those beasts?
And why?
With one final blast of his jet boosters, he soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
The news cameras zoomed in on the mysterious armored figure, and within hours, the entire city was buzzing about the rise of—
THE CYBER NINJA.
