"The age limit for this year's defense team assessment has been adjusted to thirty-three. Senior, you still have time."

This is... the last chance!

"Senior, please take the defense team's assessment with me!"

He clenched his fist and spoke to the middle-aged man in front of him with hopeful eyes.

The aim was to awaken Kafka Hibino's pursuit of dreams.

"Ichikawa..." Upon hearing this news and the emotions conveyed in those words, Kafka Hibino was shaken.

My past self was just as full of fighting spirit as he was.

Do you want to participate...?

Having been eliminated every year, is it even necessary for me to participate in this assessment now?

I must stand by her side; this is something we promised each other!

“Since we’ve come this far…” Hibino Kafka smiled and was about to agree.

The ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open, and a purple figure burst forth from the ground—a monster with a human-like head but six segmented limbs, resembling a spider!

Chapter 160 A Heavenly Descent System

"How is that possible!"

Kafka Hibino immediately recognized it as a small monster that appeared alongside the large monster, about three meters tall and five meters long.

The appearance of a large monster is always accompanied by other monsters; this is a consensus.

Normally, these remaining monsters would be dealt with by the defense team members during the battle, but this one had clearly hidden itself beforehand, only appearing the day after the monster was destroyed.

"What a treacherous fellow!"

"Ichikawa, run!"

Upon seeing the beast, he immediately prepared to flee with the boy.

Unlike the defense team members, ordinary people like them don't have weapons specifically designed to fight monsters. They can't even handle the smaller monsters, so their only option right now is to run away.

"Alright!" Ichikawa Reno, who had long been preparing to join the defense team, also understood the current situation, and the two of them took off running.

But their escape was still too slow in the eyes of the remaining beasts.

The spider-like beast leaped and caught up with the two fleeing people, its ferocious face opening its huge mouth, ready to devour one of them first.

Kafka Hibino saw that the shadow beneath their feet had been covered by an even larger shadow, and knew that they might be pounced on by the remaining beasts in the next second. So he decisively grabbed Reno Ichikawa and rolled to the side.

Yu Shou landed, missed his target, slowly turned around, and looked at the two people who had rolled several times on the ground. His eyes darted around, and his expression was strange.

"Neither of us can escape!"

"Go and inform the defense force, I'll buy time!" Hibino Kafka quickly made a judgment: at this time, letting the younger, more promising boy escape was the best option.

He tried to stand up, supporting himself on his bleeding right leg that had just been scratched by the monster.

He can't escape now.

Its only remaining purpose is to attract the monster's attention.

In this abandoned street stained with monster blood, he faced his first and last battle against a monster.

“But…” Ichikawa Reno couldn’t bear to leave the injured Hibino Kafka here.

"Let's go!" Kafka Hibino shouted, his attitude firm.

He picked up a stone from the ground, preparing himself for death.

Ichikawa Reno showed no intention of obeying, and went straight up to grab Hibino Kafka by the shoulder, dragging him forward.

Kafka Hibino, already wounded, had no chance of surviving the remaining beasts.

"What are you doing!?"

"If you keep dragging me along, we'll both die here!" Kafka Hibino shouted anxiously.

“If I don’t do this now, I will never deserve to join the defense force!” Ichikawa Reno’s attitude was also very firm.

Beside them, Yu Shou's eyes darted around, watching the two people supporting each other, unable to comprehend their behavior.

However, it's a foregone conclusion that both of them will become its food.

Saliva dripped from its open mouth; it was about to start eating!

With six segmented limbs, it caught up with the two in an instant.

"Oh no!" Hibino Kafka's heart sank when he smelled the stench coming from the mouth of the person behind him.

Reno Ichikawa instinctively turned around and saw Yu Shou's ferocious face. His heart jumped into his throat, but his attention was drawn to something else.

'That's...a person?'

Directly above them, a figure was falling from the sky at an extremely fast speed.

The figure falling from the sky landed precisely on the head of the beast. The impact of the fall knocked the beast to the ground, splitting half of its body open and leaving blood everywhere!

The remaining beasts that were about to devour the two of them died instantly!

"Wh...what?"

The remaining beast's blood stained their protective suits and faces, and only then did they realize the beast's death.

Completely bewildered by what had happened, they stood frozen in place.

"Hmm...?"

"Have we arrived?"

Amidst the shattered remains of the beast, a man in a green floral shirt defied the laws of physics, first standing up on his legs, then straightening his entire body.

Black, tousled hair, half-open golden eyes, a red floral shirt and baggy shorts, flip-flops—miraculously, not a trace of Yu Beast's blood remained on him, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"As expected, it's a monster." Xia Shu had already closed one eye, leaving the other half-open to glance at the thing under his buttocks.

He glanced at the two who were out of danger, yawned, and said hello.

Hello everyone...

"Good night......"

The man spoke incoherently, greeted them, and then lay back down stiffly.

I can't take it anymore... let me sleep a little longer.

Having just gone through a battle and then trekking for so long... Babar is really exhausted.

"Uh......"

Kafka Hibino and Reno Ichikawa fell silent as they looked at the man who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, a man shrouded in mystery and whose questions they didn't know where to begin.

What is all this nonsense?!

"Am I still half asleep, Ichikawa?" Hibino Kafka looked at the boy beside him and asked incredulously.

“If you’re not awake yet, then I’m not awake either,” Ichikawa Reno said blankly, as if he were dreaming. “But it seems this person really isn’t awake.”

The man lying on the ground had his chest rise and fall naturally, and his snores echoed through the abandoned street.

The two men's lips twitched as they listened.

"Na...Ichikawa."

"What's wrong, senior?"

"How come someone can fall from the sky unharmed, and even kill a wild beast in the process?"

"Well... I don't know either."

The two of them were still reeling from the rollercoaster of events.

"But... it's good that I survived." Kafka Hibino finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, senior, I need to get you to the hospital right away!" Ichikawa Reino saw the wound on his leg caused by the beast's claws and realized what was happening.

"Please." Feeling the pain in his thigh, Hibino Kafka stopped trying to hold on and collapsed to the ground, his face full of exhaustion.

Now, even if I wanted to participate in the subsequent assessments, it would be impossible for me.

......

Ichikawa Reno took Hibino Kafka to the hospital.

They also took the strange man who had fallen from the sky to the hospital. After all, he was their savior, and given the force with which he had killed Yu Shou, they guessed that he had also suffered considerable injuries.

Afterwards, they reported the situation at the scene to the defense team.

The defense force received the message.

They discovered something unusual; the person they described simply didn't exist in their system.

In other words... this guy is an unregistered resident.

Chapter 161 Monster Senior

"This person... isn't fully awake yet."

As night fell, in a hospital ward, Ichikawa Reino lay on a bed against the wall, sitting up to look at the bed directly opposite him.

The man who fell from the sky was still sleeping, and his sleep quality was beyond good; it was downright eerie.

"However, he fell from such a height and was completely unharmed."

"How strange." Kafka Hibino, who was on the hospital bed by the window, also looked over. His right leg was in a cast, and he was filled with doubt as he listened to the snoring sounds coming from the ward.

The doctor examined the man but found no injuries whatsoever; the test results showed he was just a perfectly healthy, ordinary person.

However, the doctors could not explain this coma-like sleep.

The defense team also sent an investigator to this place to verify the information of the remaining beast. They originally wanted to take this mysterious man away as well, but considering various factors, they decided to temporarily arrange for him to stay in this hospital until he woke up and then conduct an investigation.

“Indeed.” Ichikawa Reno nodded.

Then, looking at the cast on Hibino Kafka's right leg, his eyes were filled with sympathy and a hint of self-reproach.
