Land of Light Roundup: Starting with Meme Playing

in the park.

Riko wandered among them, carrying a black shoulder bag, holding a sketchbook in her hand, her face full of smiles.

Then, from somewhere, came the sound of a news broadcast.

"This is TV Tokyo. We will continue our report on the bus crash that occurred last night. The accident site was an extremely winding mountain road. The police have determined that the driver's error was the main cause of the accident. Further details are still pending investigation."

In the combat command room.

The man closed his laptop and said helplessly, "There are thirteen victims. What an unlucky number."

"It was too late when we arrived at the scene..."

The vice-captain said helplessly, "It's all over."

"And... most importantly, even the target was eliminated."

The man sitting in front of the computer in the command room turned his head and spoke.

"What remains at the scene are probably just some fragments, a pit five centimeters in diameter, and the small alien beast that was killed by the vice-captain."

The middle-aged man sitting between the two women murmured something.

"I also had the sole survivor explain what happened!"

He said he was suddenly saved by a silver giant who appeared out of nowhere—

The man hadn't finished speaking.

The vice-captain suddenly spoke up, "That's just his imagination!"

The audience was startled again by her sudden cold tone.

"Even if other alien beasts exist, they would never side with humans!"

The vice-captain spoke with absolute certainty.

His eyes were filled with hatred for those monsters.

……

TLT training ground.

Komon is rapidly descending from a massive training wall using ropes.

He came after all.

On the way back, Songmu's words echoed in his ears.

"The place where you work is the battlefield."

"Physical strength, intelligence, judgment, all abilities must be trained to their fullest potential."

“这是为了让你能出色完成任务首/发,群9。8"0？2ュ0@5ヘ8?5♀6的最低要求。”

As he spoke.

The lone gate traverses a jungle full of thorns, while simultaneously defeating enemies from other places in simulated fighter jets.

It was a tough training session, but Komon believed it was worth it.

If you fail once, try again.

If you fail twice, try a third time.

I briefly skimmed through it.

Pinewood stood near the gate and spoke.

"Combat training will begin today. Let me introduce you to your instructors."

Gu Men turned his head and looked at the woman in front of him who had raised her gun and was firing.

The gun was aimed forward and fired with a start.

An explosion occurred instantly.

This made Gu Men's body tremble.

After the gunfire stopped, the woman tossed her hair, looked at Komon with an excellent posture, and smiled, "I am Shiori Hiraki, nice to meet you."

"Please take care of me!"

……

The training officially begins.

The first challenge was tactical firearms training. Komon kept firing his gun forward, while Shiori Hiraki ran around on the other side, lecturing Komon.

"Hold the gun steady, your shoulders are too high!!!"

Every shot fired is aimed at a target in the center.

But despite the enormous target, Komon managed to only manage to shoot the ground with his gun.

Without him.

The recoil and weight of the gun far exceeded his expectations, and it would take him some time to become proficient in using it.

At this time.

Shiori Hiraki continued, "Aim before you fire, and look up!"

On the other side, Gu Men acted as if he hadn't heard anything, keeping his head down and firing after calibrating, but the result was still that the explosion only occurred on the ground.

"No sense of tension at all? They'd be shot dead on the battlefield like this!!!"

During the continuous running, Komon collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

"That's terrible..."

Shiori Hiraki looked helplessly at the lonely gate in front of her.

……

in the park.

Riko leaned against the railing of the deserted park and made a phone call towards the isolated gate, but the result she received after the call was...

“您所拨打的电话不在服务首/发,群9。8"0？2ュ0@5ヘ8?5♀6区内，请确认以后再拨！”

"The Lonely Gate..."

Riko murmured worriedly.

Meanwhile, Gu Men on the other side finally hit the target once.

far away.

Songmu looked at Gumen, and a voice came from behind him.

"How is his training going?"

Songmu turned his head, looked at the captain and vice-captain walking over, and smiled.

"It's finally going according to plan. Although... he's not exactly outstanding, I still think he has potential. What do you think?"

“So that’s how it is…?”

"What doubts do you have?"

Songmu looked at the vice-captain.

"He made a fatal mistake in the rescue team, panicking in the fog to the point that he was unable to move."

Upon hearing this, Matsuki turned to look at Komon, who was training, and couldn't help but smile, "I've also seen that report."

"Under these circumstances, why would you still consider him the last person?"

"The final decision wasn't made by me, nor by you... nor by anyone here, but by..."

"Someone from my superiors."

……

Lens shifts.

Daytime turns into sunset.

Looking at the solitary gate that rises from the spiral staircase to the highest point of the dam.

The audience members were moved by this scene.

Although it is not as dangerous as Leo.

But the training intensity is top-notch.

That dam looks like it could kill someone. With training like that... it's uncertain whether Komon can even withstand a second one the next day!

……

And at the top of the dam.

Gu Men finally managed to get up here after a lot of effort; this trip almost made him drool.

His fatal gasps left him lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

"I've reached my limit..."
