Chapter 135: No Amount of Lives Could Overwhelm Him!

The test was supposed to be a sparring match to assess abilities, but not such a sudden eruption with immediate gunfire.

Therefore, everyone was startled by the gunshot echoing in the command room.

So after coming to their senses, Kurz and Melissa frantically looked at their own hands—they hadn't fired.

However, both of their movements had also been to draw their guns and shoot.

Looking at Sagara Sousuke, he had been faster to draw and fire.

From the angle of his gun, this was clearly aimed straight at the other party's head for a headshot.

Fortunately, Kurz and Melissa didn't see the other party get hurt—the bullet seemed to have missed.

It really seemed to have missed, but it missed too severely—the bullet hit the floor ten centimeters in front of the other party.

No, it wasn't that Sagara Sousuke had missed the bullet.

The bullet had been deflected by someone!!!

The evidence was the standard military single-edged combat knife the other party had somehow drawn—the same kind the three of them carried—and he had made a swinging motion they couldn't see clearly, now retracting it.

This motion looked like striking downward.

From the damage marks on the knife, this was struck down with the back of the blade!!!

"Sergeant Sagara Sousuke, wh-what are you doing!"

Tessa let out a panicked and somewhat shrill voice. Her originally very pale face now had no trace of blood color at all.

Such sudden gunfire that looked like it was aimed to kill.

What would Mr. Ejie think of this?

"Sorry."

Getting an apology from Sergeant Sagara Sousuke, who also voluntarily disarmed himself and made defenseless movements as if ready to be arrested.

"Mr. Ejie, th-that, Sergeant Sagara Sousuke, he, he probably didn't mean it, he should..."

Tessa couldn't even continue her explanation—it was too pale and powerless.

"I know he didn't mean it. Calm down, Tessa."

Ejie's response also made him return to a harmless appearance, and he reached out to pat the head of this captain girl who was so anxious her eyes were getting moist and looked like she might cry.

He could understand her reaction—it had been the same with Kiba Mikoto back at Poison Island Saeko's side.

"So, what should we compete in? If it's AS operation, I can't do that, but anything else is fine."

"No need. We wouldn't compete in AS—we'd definitely lose."

Melissa's words were admitting defeat.

She hadn't expected to judge someone by appearance one day. She also kicked Kurz hard.

"Why are you kicking me, boss?"

Kurz's words immediately earned him a death glare.

He hadn't expected this guy to be so good at disguising himself—appearing so completely harmless.

Who would have thought he was such a terrifying guy?

Without even fighting, just from that instinctive behavior where his body's reaction bypassed his brain in an instant as if encountering a life-threatening crisis, one could know how frightening this person was.

This guy seemed like some monster wearing human skin on the outside, about to devour their lives in an instant, causing the three to have stress reactions.

And Sousuke had been the fastest to react.

If he had been slower, it would probably have been Kurz himself who opened fire.

Looking at Major Andrew, he also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed he had originally planned to let the three see the other party's capabilities, but hadn't expected such a strong reaction from the three.

"Sergeant Kurz, write me a 100,000-word self-criticism."

Andrew gave this guy such a punishment.

He himself also realized at this moment how frightening the person Tessa had invited was.

Although he had seen the videos and knew the other party was formidable—a humanoid tyrannosaurus who could probably directly face off against AS units.

Such strength meant he had anticipated that Kurz and the others would only be beaten in a fight.

But he hadn't expected such a stress reaction before even fighting, obviously still underestimating the other party's terror. Just his aura could probably scare ordinary people into immobility.

At that moment, he had also seemed to see an evil spirit within the other party, about to pounce out.

The other party was like someone who had killed his way out of hell and crawled into the real world—that terrifying.

Correction—not "like"—the other party's experiences really were like that.

"Ah? 100,000 words? No way, just me alone?"

"Yes."

This made Kurz scream.

"Must be submitted before the mission ends!"

This meant that during the mission, whenever he had free time, he had to spend it writing self-criticism?

"Major, what about my punishment?"

Kurz looked speechlessly at Sousuke, this single-minded guy.

"You don't need punishment, since Mr. Ejie hasn't blamed you for anything."

"Then I request to spar with him again!"

Andrew wasn't surprised by these words, because Sagara Sousuke was brought here by him—considered his disciple—so he knew his personality.

It wasn't about being unconvinced, but truly wanting to confirm whether the other party's abilities could really protect Tessa well.

"Sergeant Sagara Sousuke, you..."

"No problem."

Ejie interrupted Tessa's words.

This young man's behavior made him appreciate him more.

He seemed rigid, but it was exactly this type of person who was most reliable to have watching your back—a warrior you could trust.

Then—

"Boss, how many moves do you think Sousuke can last?"

"I don't know."

They had moved to a more spacious area, and the other party even allowed Sagara Sousuke to use any weapons—except firearms.

After all, this was inside a submarine—how could they casually use firearms? Only cold weapons.

And Sousuke was really not polite, selecting very dangerous but handy items.

This made Kurz and Melissa very eager to see the other party's combat abilities, hoping Sousuke could force out more.

Here it came—Sousuke charged forward.

The instant they engaged—

"Uh!"

Kurz was stunned. Sousuke had been defeated, and he hadn't even seen it clearly.

"Is this guy really human?"

Melissa couldn't help saying this.

The instant they engaged, Sousuke's weapon seemed to have transferred to the other party's hands. Then Sousuke's body was thrown down like an over-the-shoulder throw.

The knife the other party had seized was now at Sousuke's throat.

Seizing the knife, throwing him down, putting the knife to his throat—it seemed to be completed in less than a second.

Was this something a human could do?

That's why Melissa had said such words.

With him serving as Tessa's bodyguard, he would be the world's strongest protection.

Melissa even had the illusion that to break through his protection would probably require using AS units.

Otherwise, in pure human-to-human combat, no amount of lives could overwhelm him.
