Chapter 19
Originally, an admission auditor never moved alone.
‘Because there were too many enemies.’
This was not a story limited solely to instructors belonging to the Central Special Service Academy.
What, in the first place, was an instructor at any academy.

In the end, they were superhumans, and important assets who were prioritized for deployment in wars or unrest.
Moreover, they were easier to approach than special-duty officers currently deployed on the battlefield, and at the same time, they were the ones who fostered and educated cadets who would later serve in the military.

Even if it was not the Empire, it meant there were more than enough forces, organizations, or even individuals who would target instructors.
“That’s because it’s to protect you from bad guys who might target you, Instructor!”
……In conclusion, Major Obia.
Her words were not complete nonsense.
Еn u̇mȧ
In reality, it was true that military police from each academy moved together to ensure an instructor’s safety.
However, the problem was that it was inappropriate for her, the battalion commander of the academy’s military police battalion, to be moving personally.
Jin Crow silently watched Obia, who was grinning and hovering around in front of him, then sent a wordless glance to the two military policemen standing behind her.
‘Didn’t you stop her?’

‘……Would she listen even if we did?’
Clearly, no conversation was exchanged, but for some reason.
Еn̆ŭ m̄ а̊
The reason the exchange got through.
Chiiik-.
In the end, rather than continuing to deal with Obia, Jin Crow had no choice but to take out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
〔Beginning internal air purification.〕
Then the AI inside the cabin murmured softly, and after a brief mechanical sound, the air vibrated and circulated, the noise replacing the momentary silence.
Was it because he showed how annoyed he was.

Or was it simply that he had lost interest.
“Alright. You just want me to leave, right? But I’ll come again later, so stay tense!”
Obia Timist blinked her distinctive red eyes at Jin Crow, who wore an indifferent expression with a cigarette in his mouth, gave a broad grin, and left the cabin before he could even respond.
……It felt like a storm had passed.
Still, thanks to that, he at least gained some time to organize his thoughts, so he inwardly relaxed and sank into the sofa.
‘The more I see her, the less I can get used to it.’
Ё ńůmа
Obia Timist. A major in the military police and a Quad Gear–class special-duty officer.
On the surface, she looked endlessly light and scatterbrained, but in truth, she was nothing of the sort.

‘A sociopath? No, that’s different.’
Explaining it was complicated, but to put it very simply, she was a woman who moved purely by ‘interest.’
‘She probably sensed something during that meeting with Ideale last time, too.’
Since Ideale, a Penta Gear special-duty officer, had not noticed anything, she likely had not openly eavesdropped, but the way she talked and ran off back then was clearly exaggerated banter meant to gloss over the situation.

At the time, he himself had been flustered and let it slide roughly, but in any case, it was certain she was a dangerous woman.
She had probably accompanied this mission as well because something had piqued her personal interest.
‘Is it me?’
No matter how he thought about it, the most likely answer was Jin Crow himself.

……It was not that strange.
Even though he had imitated Jin Crow’s personality as much as possible to minimize any sense of incongruity, hadn’t he caused quite a lot of trouble in a short time.

‘For now, just stay on guard. Just stay on guard.’
There were things that made it difficult to openly antagonize her.
She was neither a villain nor an ally.
Since she was truly a being who moved purely by ‘interest,’ if handled well, she could become a sufficiently good helper.
‘Yeah, if handled well.’
It felt like his head was only getting more complicated.

In the end, he stood up and took out a can of beer from the simple minibar set up on one side of the cabin.
Chiiik-.
After opening the can, he turned on his watch and reopened the contact information that Rosen’s side had sent earlier, but as expected, there was still no additional message.
“Phew.”
It would have been nice if at least something had been clear.
No, would it have been much easier if he had possessed Baek Hwi-young, the protagonist.

In the end, all that remained were complaints.
It was around the time he was finishing the can of beer.

〔Entering hyperspace shortly. All crew within the ship are to remain at their stations.〕
From the speakers flowed the captain’s voice, full of years yet carrying a weighty, dignified force.
Soon after, a barrier descended outside the window that had been showing the vast expanse of space just moments ago, and then a short but powerful impact shook the ship violently.
Kugugugung!
Ẃėb̈ň ӧv̄ èl Е̊ n um̂ а
If one did not know it was called a ‘hyperspace jump,’ one might have mistaken it for the ship being attacked, as it was a brief but intense vibration and roar.
‘So this is a hyperspace jump.’
How had humanity been able to establish nations on a galactic scale.
The answer was 「hyperspace jump」.

The detailed principles and structure were so complex that he could not remember them well, but simply put, one could think of it as a ‘highway in space.’
‘However, dangerous in many ways.’
Е n̆ũḿ а .іd
There was a reason for deliberately lowering the barrier.
Special-duty officers who were superhumans were somewhat less affected, but hyperspace matter had adverse effects whether one was human or android.
So much so that there was even a national memorial day honoring the pioneers who once wandered through hyperspace in far harsher times, searching for a path.
“Was it three days to Atla Colony.”
While looking at the ashtray that had somehow turned into a small cactus, he mulled over what the crew member had said before departure.
At first glance, it might seem like a long time, but it only took a mere three days to go from the galactic core to the outer regions.

They said it was a speed made possible by crossing military-controlled hyperspace multiple times, but wasn’t it hard to grasp just how fast that was.
“Phew.”
Once they reached hyperspace, aside from the occasional shaking noises and vibrations, it was comfortable.
He liked the untimely silence as well.
In the first place, a special-duty officer belonging to the Military Police, not just an ordinary officer, was treated as his equal.
And yet, instead of staying in her own cabin, she had deliberately followed him all the way to his cabin to bother him.

‘Tiring.’
Since it was an abruptly decided external schedule, he had entrusted the lecture to sub-instructor Ginatio, but organizing the materials overnight and handing them over had been entirely his responsibility.

Thanks to that, Jin Crow had to feel the fatigue he was already experiencing doubled.
“…….”
Tap, tap.
As he absentmindedly tapped the leather of the sofa, his eyelids slowly grew heavy.

He briefly wondered, ‘Would it be alright to sleep?’ but surely nothing would happen on a military transport ship.
Moreover, when he added the thought that Obia, whose interest might wane outside, could come back to harass him again if he did not get some sleep now, he stopped overthinking it and closed his eyes.
‘Just one hour.’
It was a wish that slipped out unconsciously, thinking she would not leave him alone otherwise.

However, as if to render such expectations meaningless.
“Ins, Instructor! Instructor!”
Еnu m ӓ . іd̃
Into the ears of Jin Crow, who had fallen into a deep sleep for the first time in quite a while, came someone’s urgent shout.
“…….”
As he opened his eyes, feeling a heavy haze, for some reason a familiar face came into view beneath the flickering lights.
The first emotion he felt was irritation.
His sleep had been poor these days as it was, so waking him from a long-awaited deep sleep felt particularly aggravating.
“It’s an emergency!”

However, that dissatisfaction quickly vanished at the military policeman’s voice that followed.
Under the constantly flickering lights, the pale face of the military policeman came into view.
Moreover, there were wounds on his body that were clearly not light at a glance, so Jin Crow immediately grabbed the special-duty armament he had kept nearby, his longsword.
“What happened?”
“Th, that is.”
Had he been pushed to his limit.
Е̌ nūmа̌ . і̀d
The unnamed military policeman staggered, barely keeping his balance, and spoke with a face full of distress.
“……It’s an attack. The enemies have already broken into the ship…….”

And the last thing the military policeman saw before losing consciousness was.
“Ins, Instructor?”
Without a word in reply, it was the broad back of the man heading straight out of the cabin.
Hyperspace jumps expanded humanity’s sphere of activity across the entire galaxy, while at the same time bringing countless dangers.

Hyperspace was a place filled with the unknown.
Whether it was a stable space, or merely a rift between dimensions, or even something without substance at all, scholars still fiercely debated it.
……But one thing was certain.
To humanity, hyperspace was an indispensable transport route and passage, and at the same time, a strategic resource.

“Kghhh!”
“Hold on!”

Kugugugugung!
A heavy vibration pounded against the assault craft painted red.
Was it because they were using an old-model hyperspace module.
Or was it because the assault craft’s mother AI was also severely outdated.
〔Hyperspace jump complete. No. 3 fusion reactor overheating. I, iso, iso, isolating the relevant section.〕
It seemed to be both.

One of the dozens of soldiers in red uniforms standing in the hangar muttered.
“Krig, looks like this lady has to retire after this operation.”
“For a ship, retirement on the battlefield is an honor, Sergeant.”
“I know. It’s just a shame. Wasn’t she something of a lucky charm.”
The sergeant scratched his left eye, where artificial skin, a skeletal frame, and an eyeball had been implanted after everything down to the bone had melted away, and replied to the young lieutenant colonel standing at the front.
To him, the lieutenant colonel responded with a faint smile.

“That’s probably why the Grand Marshal entrusted this ship to us as well. So that we would come back alive.”
There was no reply, but their bond was not so thin that one would fail to recognize it as a silent affirmation.

Kugugugung…….
All the hangar windows had their barriers lowered, so they could not see beyond hyperspace.
“Even if we die, it is not a defeat. It is merely a cornerstone for victory.”
That murmuring, which even carried a hint of madness, lingered in the ears of the red soldiers standing in the hangar.

This was revenge, and the rightful price of blood.
Whenever their resolve wavered even slightly, they recalled the humiliation and sense of betrayal their Human Composite State had received, passed down since their parents’ generation.
“…….”
The silence continued.

Each and every one of them merely swallowed their surging anger and silently checked the weapons held in their hands.
How much time passed like that.

〔Output to maximum, commencing assault. Brace for impact. I wish you good luck.〕
From the speakers connected to the hangar, a voice filled with grim resolve rang out.
And the soldiers in red uniforms, as if by prior agreement, all pressed the black gas masks they held onto their faces and intoned.
“Hell to the hypocrites.”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaang!
Immediately after, with an explosion, the assault craft slammed straight into the rear hangar of the Human Composite State’s armored transport ship that was moving rapidly through hyperspace.

Chiiiik-.
The sound of deep breaths being drawn in through the gas mask filters echoed, and soon the lieutenant colonel at the front gave a low command.
“All units, commence the assault.”
