"Sagara! I'm talking about you!"

Sagara was stunned for a moment, then he straightened his chest and crossed the line, "Yes! I will do my best to ensure the safety of the whole class!"

This answer seemed to be wrong, and the head teacher no longer had the energy to say anything more.

The art teacher at the school was named Shuixing, a relatively rare surname. He assigned the subject of the sketch: Man and Nature.

"Man and nature? To put it simply, it means painting people and scenery together, right?" Class monitor Chidori summed it up simply. She realized that she needed a model.

"Anyone volunteer?"

No one responded.

This is a thankless task. No one will sign up if you just stand there motionless.

But she had a good candidate in mind. So when the democratic self-nomination proposed by the class monitor was rejected, she entered the dictatorship mode.

"Sosuke Sagara! Is it okay to be a model?"

"Yes!" Sagara really didn't mind, but he didn't quite understand what a model should do.

"Anyway, just stay in one position and don't move for about one or two hours."

"That's no problem. I can stay still for 37 hours."

That was his past record, when he ambushed the enemy on the battlefield in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, the Freedom Fortress.

Ling was also typing away on her computer, copying a 'manuscript' of tens of thousands of words. Kiraraze was right next to her, and his eyes had completely shifted from his own screen to this side. He had been trying to hide it at first, but now he was completely done with it, and his head was at a fixed angle.

The text was so profound that even he, the "son of Prometheus" and self-proclaimed cutting-edge scientist, could not understand it immediately at first glance.

But as the characters flowed on the screen, he became deeply addicted to them. For a researcher like him, unknown technology and civilization were the most addictive poison.

If you don't study it carefully, you won't be able to understand it at all. Kiraraze only roughly understood that the manuscript from the day before was about the technology of dimensional energy, and this manuscript was about genetics, the technology of destroying organisms at the cellular level.

Following on from the Eagle's power engine, this is the principle of the cell-destroying bomb.

Just as she was fascinated by the scene, Lingye's fingers stopped.

"Why don't you write anymore?" Kiraraze blurted out.

I was watching it so well, why did it stop? Hurry up! Release targeted high-energy radiation, use catalysts to induce disordered cell division, block intracellular receptors, and then what?

"An alien beast has appeared."

"What's the 'exotic life'..." Kiraraze was still a little confused. His brain was absorbing high-end knowledge and was temporarily confused about other things.

Fortunately, the word "alien beast" still has a deterrent effect. His usual vigilance has not completely disappeared, so he came to his senses after just a few seconds.

"Oh, a monster! You said a monster appeared?"

Of course, there was no Alien Beast vibration wave on the screen yet, and Kiraraze was used to it. He was already able to accept the fact that TLT's Alien Beast vibration wave detector could not warn of the tiny vibration waves before Alien Beasts split and reproduced on a large scale.

And Assistant Officer Oshima can clearly do that.

However, she did not use "technology", but "foresight" similar to that of medieval charlatans, which still made Kiraraze feel a little thorny.

Or maybe superpowers are also a form of scientific evolution, but human science has not yet reached this level. This thought made him feel a little better.

"Where did the alien beast appear this time?"

“In the natural park of Musashino.”

At the same time, Kainaer had already issued tasks to the association because according to the signals from the five senses system, there happened to be members of the association in that park.

Amid the sound of alarm bells, the night attack team quickly got ready.

The captain is Wakura Eisuke, the vice-captain is Mizoroki Shinya, and the team members are Nishijo Nagi, Ishihori Mitsuhiko, Hiraki Shiori, Komon Kazuki, and Himeya Jun.

With the addition of Komon and Himeya, the size of Night Raid Team A has reached an unprecedented level, with a total of 7 people.

Reiya's projection appeared in the war room.

She had dealt with all the other team members before, except for the new member, Himeya Jun. Of course, she had seen him before, but she still felt a little novel to see Himeya Jun wearing the Night Raid Team combat uniform instead of his leather jacket.

I can’t describe the feeling, but I always feel that Himeya Jun is suitable for wearing a leather jacket and wandering the streets decadently.

"how do you feel?"

She asked Himeya, surprising him. She didn't expect him to talk to her.

"This is our TLT's assistant officer, and we serve as wartime operations staff." Wakura introduced. In his opinion, this should be the first time Himeya has met him.

This was indeed the first time that Himeya Jun met Reiya.

At that time, the "big lady" of the association asked him if he was willing to join the Night Raid Team. Later, he also heard that it was Assistant Officer Oshima who recommended him to join the Night Raid Team. The "big lady" of the association was a high school girl with short chestnut hair. No one would have thought that there was any connection between her and the junior high school student Oshima Reiya.

Himeya didn't quite understand the cause and effect of this, and had no intention of trying to figure it out. He just wanted to destroy the alien beasts and know why Nexus entrusted him with power, that's all.

If this was a punishment, he was willing to accept it. If this was a mission, he was also willing to take it.

Himeya Jun didn't respond to her, and Ling didn't take it seriously.

"An alien beast has appeared near Musashino Nature Park in Tokyo. It is codenamed Baigbazun and is currently in a growth stage. It is at a C-level danger level. The monster is beetle-like and has the ability to fly. Its shell has a high defense capability. It is recommended to use armor-piercing weapons. Both forelimbs have hook-like claws and the tail has a jaw-like giant pincer. Both are highly lethal. Please be careful to avoid them."

Because it was discovered earlier, the monster is not in its complete form. Once it preys on humans, the fear of the victims' death will cause it to evolve.

The Night Raid Team was accustomed to the assistant officers knowing all the enemy's intelligence before encountering the enemy, but this was a first for Himeya.

Is this how regular troops fight?

And he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the assistant girl glanced at him when she spoke, as if the information was specifically spoken to him.

The claws and the giant pincers, he did remember them.

In Musashino Park, Chidori discovered that she was in trouble.

It's not just her trouble, it's the whole class's trouble.

Sosuke Sagara, the sketch model, is missing!

Deserted during a battle? Who was the guy who just claimed that he could stay still for 37 hours?

"Kaname, I just saw Sagara saying he had to take a call and went into the woods."

The person who spoke was Chidori's good friend Tokiwa Kyoko.

"Answer the phone? It doesn't take that long to answer the phone."

The fact is that Sagara is missing. As a model, if she is missing, the whole class will not be able to complete the assignment. Unless they choose another one.

But then again, there's hardly anyone else in the class who's willing to stand there stupidly for an hour or two like Sagara.

"Let's go find that guy Sagara. There are so many of us in the class, so even if he really wants to run, he can't get far."

But Chidori overestimated her classmates, most of whom were too lazy to look for her. She also underestimated Sagara Sosuke, a soldier who had been active in countless battlefields and had ambush and sneak attacks integrated into his instincts, and if he wanted to hide, he would never be found.

Sagara wasn't hiding from his classmates, he was ambushing and trying to sneak attack a monster beyond human comprehension.

There are alien beasts here. This is the mission he just received from Miss Kaina. It is not a small monster that only gives 150 or merits. The mission reward given by Miss Kaina is merits, which is enough to make him realize that the enemy this time is different.

If he had not exchanged for the 'Strong Crossbow' before, he would not even want to accept such a task.

As a mercenary, he knew very well which missions he could take and which missions were beyond his capabilities and must be given up.

Those classmates, including Chidori, would never be able to find Sagara because he was sitting in the "Strong Crossbow". And this AS has an optical stealth function.

ARX-7 Crossbow

It is 8.5m tall and weighs 9.8t. It is powered by a room-temperature nuclear fusion reactor and has a combat endurance of up to 100h. If it is in silent standby mode like it is now, the endurance can be increased several times.

These are not important, conventional AS can also achieve these values, what is important is the λ-Driver it carries

On the screen inside the mecha, various detection data were fed back, and Xiangliang had not found any abnormalities for the time being. However, the information provided by the association was never wrong, so the alien beast was still lurking for the time being.

At this time, Sagara noticed some unusual movements in the forest.

It wasn't the alien beasts, it was his classmates who were looking for him.

This made Xiangliang realize that there was something wrong. He was worried that these students would run into alien beasts. As he had promised the homeroom teacher before, he must do his best to protect the safety of his classmates.

Well, based on his experience of fighting with alien beasts several times, making outsiders unable to move is the best protection!

"Kano, is Sagara really here? How about we change the model?" On the hillside, Kyoko was already a little tired after searching for five minutes.

"That guy, when I find him I will definitely..." Chidori was still talking when a boy's exclamation suddenly came from the side.

"what happened?"

"Trap! There is a trap here!" The boy who was speaking had his entire foot stuck in the hole. There was a layer of strong glue made of unknown material inside, and he couldn't pull it out.

Not only him, several people fell into the trap one after another.

"Ah, that war idiot! Everyone be careful, Sagara has turned this place into a battlefield!"

"But, no matter what, there's no need to go to this extent, right?" Kyoko didn't quite understand. If Sagara didn't want to be a model, he could just say so.

"That idiot, he must have misunderstood something again." Chidori could probably understand. Sagara was not unwilling to be a model, but he had made a mistake. "Everyone, don't get separated. Be careful of the ground. Even if it's a trap, you should be able to tell it apart if you look carefully."

It was indeed possible to distinguish them, but just as the students were trying to avoid the "minefield", a whole log rolled down from above, and several people fell into the adhesive again.

"Ah, this is too much! Doesn't that guy Sagara Sosuke have a human brain?"

"Sagara-san will explode his shoe cabinet at the slightest suspicion," Kyoko reminded.

That's right, so it's not strange no matter what that guy does. But Chidori can't quite understand what his original intention is.

Although Sagara is indeed a war idiot, he is not a random troublemaker. No matter what he does, he at least has a corresponding reason. He threw smoke bombs in the classroom because he mistakenly thought that the electronic pen used by the teacher as a pointer was a sniper rifle's scope. He used high-energy explosives to blow up the shoe cabinet because he mistakenly thought that there were dangerous items thrown by terrorists in the shoe cabinet.

So what about this time?

Suddenly, Chidori felt a chill all over her body and sensed some bad gaze.

Chapter 522 λ-Driver System

Chidori wanted to feel someone was looking at her.

Perhaps it was innate, Chidori's intuition had always been sharp, a certain kind of chilling feeling.

At first she thought it was Sosuke Sagara, that inexplicable military fan, who must be hiding in an unknown place as usual, watching her with a telescope.

Who could have imagined that a few weeks ago, when this guy received a love letter from a girl in the next class, he actually thought it was a declaration of war from the enemy.

He ambushed in the bushes near the meeting place in advance, aiming his sniper rifle at the girl who was about to confess to him. The girl waited for Xiangliang for five hours, and Xiangliang also aimed his real gun at her for five hours.

Is this something a human can do?
