Terror!

After she had a secret rendezvous with Shinra, her boyfriend, Kikoru returned to her dorm on the Third Division before she slept directly. If it were during the weekend, it might not be possible as a training day would be waiting for her, but as it was still in the weekend, she could rest with ease. 

Still, while it was a break, many people were inside the base as their home was quite far, and it was far cheaper and more economical to live on the base, so when Kikoru returned, many of the female soldiers who entered at the same time as her, wanted to ask her about it before deciding to endure it for later, especially when they saw how exhausted she was, yet when they saw some lewd, red mark on Kikoru's neck, they blushed furiously, wondering who was her lover. 

Frankly, Kikoru could live in the private room or returned to her home, but she felt that it was little awkward to go back to her home in her current situation, and to live together with the same soldiers would make her appear approachable and accepted by everyone since the key of an organization, especially a military was a comradeship. 

Yes, she could have her own room, using her father's authority, but this type of bonding and modesty was needed, especially when she knew well that she could stand up higher than anyone due to her pedigree, and to become a good leader, she needed to start from the bottom. 

Kikoru might appear like a spoiled lady, yet she was responsible and knew that she had to give her everything to become the best of the best. 

Still, let's think of that later, especially when she was sleepy, and just enjoyed the aftermath that came from her lovemaking with her precious boyfriend, yet what would happen if she knew her father had agreed to their relationship and even urged them to get married? 

"Fufufu..." 

As Kikoru laughed in her dream, Mina, who was managing the data of the base and various things inside the base, was helped by Hoshina, her Vice-Captain. 

"Do you know Commander?" 

"What?" 

"I have heard that he is in the middle of the test for the Number Weapon 6." 

"Him? You mean Shinra-kun?" 

"Yes." Hoshina let out a helpless sigh and said, "It's great to have a good father-in-law." The relationship between Shinra and Kikoru wasn't exactly a secret, yet it made him feel a bit helpless by the special treatment that Shinra gained after he dated Kikoru. 

"Hoshina Vice Captain." However, Mina stared at her vice-captain coldly and said, "If you think that way, then aren't you the same? Also, with his talent, isn't it normal for him to receive special treatment?" 

"You are right. I am sorry." 

Hoshina raised both of his hands, showing his submission as he apologized. He just intended to joke, but he never expected that he would get a strong reaction from Mina. He, himself, knew that if a reason existed why Shinra received the special treatment from Isao Shinomiya, it was because Shinra was really that talented. 

At the same time, while Shinra received special treatment, Hoshina also received the same treatment, as his house was that of a famous swordsmanship instructor who had taught all the military-related organizations in the country, and many of his family members had worked for the Defense Force within the organization. 

If there was a reason Hoshina could use a sword despite being told not to, it was because his family had so much prestige, which was why he could also become the Vice Captain so easily. 

"Regardless, I hope that he can wield the Number Weapon and come back to us." 

"You are right." 

The two of them knew well that they had committed treason, especially when they had hidden the fact that Kafka, who was the truth, was a Kaiju. Even though Kafka was no different from a normal human, they knew well that Kafka's body had become that of a Kaiju. 

As they were aware of this fact, they should have informed the higher-ups; yet, they kept it a secret themselves. Fortunately, under their observation, Kafka didn't change, and whether it was Shinra or Kikoru, they never intended to expose this secret. 

Still, no matter what, if possible, they wished for Shinra to return to the Third Base, especially when he had become stronger, wielding the strongest Number Weapon, the Number Weapon 6. 

'And, if possible...' 

Mina looked at the document before her, thinking that she wasn't suitable with the position of the Division Captain as this pressure was so high, and if possible, she wished Shinra to share this burden or just took away this responsibility from her, as she stood behind him, following him under his leadership. 

Yes, this thought of her was a little pathetic, especially when she was entrusted by many and everyone had given their trust in her, yet she wanted to run away, but what could she do? 

Her purpose had never been to stand above many, burdened by the responsibility due to her talent; instead, she just wanted to become a soldier along with everyone to fight against the Kaiju, not to become a hero where all the lives of her comrades were entrusted on her frail back. 

Still, strangely enough, while she looked forward to the time when she stood behind him, or by his side, she felt irritated and even annoyed when she thought that the one who stood by his side wasn't her but Kikoru. 

Meanwhile, Hoshina, who noticed the change of mood in Mina, started to become quiet, so as not to make her angry, which made him wonder why her mood had suddenly changed. 

Was it that moment of hers? 

Still, if he dared to say so, he was sure that he would be beaten. 

Regardless, while Shinra was working hard and trying his best to become the best soldier to protect everyone in this country from a Kaiju, everyone on the Third Base tried their best on their own, whether it was in close-combat, long-range combat, theories, or many others. 

"Shinra, I will be better than you later!" Kafka shouted as he looked at the distant sky. 

"I don't think that's possible, Senpai." Ichikawa looked at Kafka speechlessly. 

"There is nothing impossible! Even this 32-year-old man can finally be accepted to the Defense Force, so nothing is impossible!" 

"Senpai..." 

Yes, everyone did their best on their own, trying to become the best, and improved themselves in a way that they could become a hero and protect everyone from the terror known as a Kaiju. 

However, what they didn't know was that 8,000 meters above the sky, several Kaiju in the shape of pterosaurs soared in a group, which should have been impossible, as this type of Kaiju, according to the record, had always been seen flying individually, not in packs. 

"Initiate descent." 

On top of those pterodactyl-shaped Kaiju, one Kaiju seemed different from the others. It spoke in a human language, giving orders to the Kaijus to descend and start their attacks on the third base, where Kafka, Mina, Hoshina, and Kikoru had stayed, before creating a chaos that no one could have imagined. 

BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOM!
