Frozen World!

As Gen Narumi stood in front of Shinra, and provoked him, ready to have a fight with him, everyone was speechless, but they knew well how childish this guy was, or rather, Narumi was famous for being known as a troublesome child among the Defense Force. 

If a reason existed as to why this troublesome guy could be chosen as the Division Captain of the First Division, it was because Narumi was strong, stronger than anyone, at least, in the current generation of the Defense Force. 

Yes, whether it was Hoshina or Mina, the two of them were strong, but one of them was only strong in close combat, and the other was strong in long-range combat. 

However, Narumi was a strong combatant in both close and long-range combat, utilizing a specialized style of fighting that employed a bayonet-shaped weapon. 

With this style, he even created a new fighting style for everyone, especially in a way of using a bayonet as everyone often used his style to fight the Kaiju like how Isao's martial art became the official martial art taught in the Defense Force, Narumi's influence in the bayonet became the mainstream style of the soldier of this organization to defeat the Kaiju. 

Despite how Narumi appeared, he was the strongest, especially when Isao had grown older and weaker. 

"Your opponent is more or less one of the strongest, Shinra." 

"What do you mean by more or less?! Also, I am the strongest!" 

As Narumi complained, Isao ignored that and continued to talk with Shinra. "Like you, he also uses the Number Weapon, but unlike you, he uses Weapon 1 that has an ability to predict the future." 

"Oi, Director! You told him everything about me! Your way to treat him is so unfair!" 

Narumi was so angry when Isao told Shinra everything about his ability, since it felt like he could see Isao liked Shinra better! 

Dammit! 

Watching Narumi's angry reaction, Jugo sighed, but he felt that it was normal since Shinra would become a son-in-law of Isao, so for Isao to have special treatment toward Shinra was perfectly normal. 

On the other hand, while Narumi was talented, he was just more or less a soldier who had worked under Isao, and probably a half-disciple since Isao had taught him many things when Isao worked as the Division Captain of the First Division. 

So, a half disciple against a complete disciple and a son-in-law, who would Isao choose? 

Even if Jugo was blind or completely drunk, he didn't need to guess the answer. 

'Well, he is more pleasing to the eyes.' 

Jugo thought about how polite and hardworking Shinra was. 

While Narumi often said that he didn't need well-mannered people, but rather those who were incapable, without a doubt, a well-mannered guy who was capable was definitely loved better. 

"Also, his weapon is a bayonet. I won't tell you how strong he is, but you can tell that he is the best with that weapon." 

"...as expected, you treat him better than me!" 

Narumi was angry and also felt jealous toward Shinra, especially when Isao treated Shinra better than he did. During his time under Isao, he was often beaten and mocked, yet he felt that Shinra was loved, which made him annoyed.

Dammit, which part of Shinra was better than him?! 

Sorry, Shinra was the son-in-law, so it was clear who Isao would choose, right? 

"It's a good handicap, or you think that you can't win against him, Narumi?" 

"Don't be kidding me!" Narumi exploded when he heard Isao's words. "Just tell him everything about me! I will definitely won't lose to a newbie!" 

So what if Shinra could become a perfect wielder of Number Weapon 6?!

In Narumi's eyes, Shinra was nothing but a greenhorn! 

A newbie! 

Even if Shinra worked hard for hundreds of years, he definitely wouldn't be his opponent! 

Still, Shinra was quite interested in the ability of Number Weapon 1. "Seeing the future?" 

"Yes, but instead of seeing the future, the real ability of the Number Weapon 1 is the ability to visualize the brain signals of a living being and predict their movements before they make them, and combining that with his bayonet skill, he is a fearsome opponent." Isao looked at Shinra from the monitor room with a hint of provocation and asked, "Can you win against him?" 

"Let's see how it goes first." 

Shinra didn't plan to make a confident promise that he would definitely win. 

"If you win, I will agree to your relationship." 

"I will win, Sir!" 

If the reward of this victory was to get permission to have a relationship with Kikoru, then it couldn't be helped, even if Shinra wasn't interested in the victory or defeat in this small fight, he had decided to win! 

However, Narumi felt unpleasant about Shinra's confident and casual promise to Isao, which made him even more unhappy. "Do you think you can win against me?" 

"Let's start the match, so we can settle the match right away." 

Shinra wasn't afraid of Narumi, especially when he had the backing of his father-in-law. 

"Oh-ho? Let's see whether you can keep that confidence of yours or not when we fight." 

Narumi also didn't plan to say any more nonsense, and everything would be settled in the duel between the two. While he wasn't sure why Isao treated Shinra differently, did Isao think that Shinra was better than anyone just because Isao became the wielder of Weapon Number 6? 

Yes, Weapon Number 6 might be the strongest weapon that had ever been created, as it was made from the King of Kaiju, Kaiju No. 6, but did Shinra think that he would win with that weapon alone? 

Narumi had been fighting and training for so many years, probably decades, maximizing the ability of Weapon Number 1 and also honing his bayonet skills to the limit. 

Weapon Number 1 and the bayonet skill. 

Those were Narumi's trump cards. 

His bayonet skills allowed him to stab the Kaiju with tremendous force or to slash and shoot his enemies simultaneously in waves, which made his attacks hard to predict. On the other hand, Weapon Number 1 allowed him to visualize the brain signals of a living being and predict their movements before they make them, but this was what Isao and everyone believed, when the truth was that he had gone beyond that, which made him able to perceive the movements of electrons, temperature fluctuations, the terrain and every detail of a location with the eyes around his body, making it possible to predict what happens via a clear mental vision. 

In other words, it was impossible for Shinra to defeat him! 

Nothing could be done, Shinra's fate was already determined! 

"START!" 

Shinra didn't even use a weapon, and was just wearing his Weapon Number 6. 

'Did he get his confidence from his 100% unleashed combat power?' 

Yes, Narumi's unleashed combat power was just about 98%, which was only 2% of a difference, but even so, Shinra was too naive to think that he would win with just that 2% of difference! 

Dash! 

Narumi directly made the first move, ready to finish this battle instantly to show that Shinra was nothing! 

Only—

"Freezing World." 

Shinra only stretched his palm forward, but at that moment, the entire faculty, which was about the same size as his last time location, was completely frozen, turning everything in this place into a world of ice. 

Extremely cold, deadly, yet beautiful. 

"I won, Sir." 

Shinra's plain voice was heard as he saw Narumi, who was completely frozen in front of him, as he was about to raise his bayonet, ready to slash him without much emotion on his face. 

"...." 

No one could say anything, and everyone could only stare in a daze as they soon shivered due to the coldness that exuded from Shinra's technique, and also the excitement that came from the strongest soldier ever. 

While his body was trembling, Isao nodded and said with a gentle smile, "Congratulations, you can marry my daughter right away." 

"....." Shinra.
