Reawaken the World

Turning Point (Part 1)

"Some objects like grenades flew out from behind the ruins. Akira quickly grabbed his AAH assault rifle and shot them all while in the air. One is a hand grenade, because the grenade serves as a trigger for the collision, the grenade immediately explodes instead of bouncing back to the person who threw it when hit by a bullet. The rest is information of smoke grenade interference, the explosion of hand grenade caused the vandals smoke to rise very quickly."

 

"The stuck smoke not only spread around Akira, but even enveloped the entire area. Akira noticed it and thought it was suspicious."

 

(“Alpha, this will also make it difficult to ascertain my position, right? Does he plan on using a smoke cap to escape?”) 

 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"About thinking that much of the annoying smoke would affect the information gathering devices of both sides and his opponent planned to use the opportunity to escape. But Alpha answered with an unpleasant answer."

 

[Composition of fume vandals can be arranged to increase or decrease its potency. So in short, he can set his composition to have only minimal influence on his own information gathering device. If my prediction is correct, he should still have a good ability to ascertain your position.]

 

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

(“Don't that mean he can see me clearly while I can't? It was very convenient.”) 

 

"In the worst case scenario, it was as if Akira was fighting without the support of an information gathering device. He understood how severe the situation was and made a cynical statement about it, which made Alpha just smile."

 

[You can let him think that and kill him as he lowers his guard.]

 

(“.... I don't really know what happened, but I'll count on you.”) 

 

[Give it to me.]

 

"About quickly moving following Alpha's orders."

 

"Akira's "visibility is not affected too much by the disturbing smoke. As it was not thick, he could still see some distance in front of him. But even so, his ability to detect what was around him was greatly reduced. After all, he did not have the support of advanced image analysis of the information gathering device."

 

"About grabbing his CWH anti-material rifle and shooting into the rubble where Yajima was hiding. Special ammunition CWH flew at high speed and stirred smoke before blowing up the debris, making a loud impact noise. He did shoot at the ruins where Yajima was hiding, but Yajima quickly moved to other ruins before being hit by gunfire."

 

"Yajima thought Akira kept shooting to get him out of the rubble pile."

 

"He could confirm Akira's position while hiding himself, it was because his information gathering device was not affected by the vandals' smoke. He's looking for an opportunity to return fire on Akira."

 

"He had absolute confidence in his quick drawing skills, at least, until Akira avoided his quick draw. But even so, he did not think that he needed to try another type of attack. It was unmistakable that the quick draw technique was the strongest technique he had, therefore, he had no other choice but to kill Akira to regain his confidence."

 

"Yajima carefully measured his chances."

 

('He was just randomly shooting at the ruins thinking that I might be hiding there. Judging from the fact that he started shooting within a wider radius, he did not yet know my location. Smoke vandals work as they should. He doesn't know my location, but I know his exact location. He's one of those Hunters who doesn't wear a helmet, and seeing the way he dodges my shots, he doesn't have an upgraded body. It only took one bullet in his head to kill him. I'm superior here.') 

 

"Ts: this code is the sign → (‘......’) to indicate a thought or word bubble that appears in someone's mind."

"The reason why Yajima didn't run away was because he had to kill Akira. If the headquarters found something about him and his friends, it would be very difficult to carry out their plans. To avoid such a situation, he had no other choice but to kill Akira."

 

"Yajima could accurately see Akira's movements with his information gathering tool. He even knows exactly where Akira is hiding. Yajima fused with the smoke and carefully moved away from the ruins he hid."

 

 

"Yajima has confirmed the location of Akira. He knew for sure where Akira was hiding, what he needed to do next was shoot towards it. He could see a faint shadow of Akira amidst the slowly spreading smoke. Although it was impossible to see Akira without any support, Yajima could see it clearly."

 

"About taking a firing position, he aimed at the ruins in the opposite direction to where Yajima was. Yajima who saw from behind Akira smiled, years of experience and his own intuition said that he had won."

 

"Yajima jumped out from behind the rubble where he was hiding, and at the same time, he quickly grabbed his gun and pointed it at Akira's head. He's already set his target, he just needs to pull the next trigger and it'll confirm his victory."

 

"But no bullets came out of his muzzle. The gun and his entire arm were torn apart by the CWH anti-material rifle's special ammunition."

 

"As Yajima aimed his shot, Akira suddenly pushed his extra suit to its limit to rotate the CWH anti-material rifle in the opposite direction. He supports the CWH anti-material rifle with only his right hand and shoots towards Yajima without even looking back before Yajima can pull the trigger."

 

"The bullet hit Yajima to the ground. He still could not process what had just happened. Amidst the chaos, he unintentionally muttered his first impression of his current situation."

 

(“...You must be kidding..”) 

 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Yajima's "right hand that was smashed to pieces left a mechanical part strewn on the ground along with his shattered gun. He's a cyborg."

 

"It looks like it's in pain. His entire body was pulsing with pain due to all the pressure that the extra clothes put on his body. Especially his right arm. It was expected because he had only used his right arm to resist the back-kick of his CWH anti-material rifle."

 

"The medicines he had consumed earlier began to take effect. But it turned out that it could not directly heal his wounds. He felt like he was going to faint at any moment, but he was somehow able to hold his body."

 

"About looking towards Yajima who was lying on the ground and asking Alpha."

 

(“.... Do I do well?”) 

 

"Alpha smiled and said."

 

[Yes, you did a good job.]

 

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"To be honest, it was Alpha who targeted Yajima and shot him down. He controls Akira's augmented suit to execute that highly accurate shot."

 

"Alpha can fully understand Akira's 5 senses, in short, he can extract information directly from his sensory organs. He used the image information sent from his eyes to look for the smallest suspicious change in the smoke, and thus he could guess where Yajima was hiding."

 

"Alpha has also adjusted the settings of the information-collecting device, thus keeping the effect of the fume intruder to a minimum. Although his effectiveness was still reduced, he could fill that hole with his advanced calculating ability."

 

"So just as Yajima knows exactly where Akira is, Alpha also knows exactly where Yajima is. The only person who doesn't know is Akira. Judging from Akira's behavior, Yajima thought Akira did not know where he was hiding and was lured out of the rubble."

 

 

(“Why don't you go after his head?”) 

 

[There are 2 reasons. First of all, it probably won't stop his finger from pulling the trigger even if you blow his head off. If he pulls the trigger when he's shot or before the bullet reaches him, he'll probably shoot you. So I shot him in the arm, just to be safe. The second reason was because he might still be alive even without his head.]

 

(“No, no, no, there's no way he can survive without a head, right?”) 

 

 

[The person is a cyborg, it's possible that he has a remote control function. There's a cyborg with no brains in his head, you know. If it's just a remote body, even if you smash his head where the control unit is located, he may have another support unit that can act as a replacement for the control unit, he's a cyborg. But whatever the case may be, I'm afraid he might still shoot back even without his head, which is why I decided to prioritize removing the possibility of him shooting at you.]

 

"About a closer look at Yajima who was still shocked. Although he smashed Yajima's arm into pieces, there was no splash of blood at all. But he could see some mechanical parts poking out of Yajima's open wound."

 

"As Alpha says, Yajima is a cyborg. Its body is made up of a mixture of mechanical and organic parts, but the only organic part of its body is its central nervous system. Even though he lost his right arm, he did not feel any pain at all. His body was adjusted so he only felt a slight pain. But even so, he could feel the impact as the bullet tore through his right arm, it caused enough damage that he could not continue the fight."

 

"I've almost never thought about the possibility that Yajima is a cyborg. He looked a little surprised as he asked Alpha."

 

(“How do you realize that he is a cyborg?”) 

 

[There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is that he is too good at lying. You were tricked and caught red-handed back there, remember?]

 

(“I'm so grateful that you saved me just now.”) 

 

[Together.]

 

"About conveying her gratitude and Alpha replying with a satisfied smile."

 

(“.... So, how does his lie connect with him as a cyborg?”) 

 

[I can get a feeling of whether someone is lying or not from his expression. Like if they make a strange expression, or if they make a suspicious movement, or if there is an inconsistent tone.]

 

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

(“Then, you should have told me back then.”) 

 

[Trust me, I was tricked too.]

 

(“... But you just said that you can tell if someone is lying, right?”) 

 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

[There was no sign in his expression that he was lying. But actually, he's lying. This meant that his expression was completely unconnected to his inner thoughts. The only people who can do that are cyborgs who can fully control their facial muscles or mechanical bodies over long distances. I'm sure he recorded his normal expression and applied it on his face.]

 

(“I saw . Well, you are so amazing.”) 

 

[Not to say anymore.]

 

"Alpha smiled at Akira in response to her praise."

 

"When Akira approached Yajima's body without lowering his guard, he heard Alpha's warning."

 

[Although not fatal, the special ammunition of the CWH anti-material rifle has caused significant damage. But even so, don't let your guard down.]

 

(“I know.”) 

 

[And also, reload the new magazine. Although it was not completely empty, the loaded magazine had only a few bullets.]

 

(“Accepted.”) 

 

"About following Alpha's advice and reloading a new magazine. Although Yajima was seriously injured, he was still someone stronger than Akira. He recalled that as he approached Yajima carefully."

 

"Yajima didn't die nor did she faint. He was lying on the ground, fully conscious. And he thought hard about how to escape his current predicament."

 

"Although severely injured, it was not fatal. It might be difficult to fight Akira without one hand, but he can still escape from Akira. But of course, he needed to think about what to do because Akira would definitely shoot him from behind if he started running."

 

"Yajima had asked for reinforcements from his friends, but he did not know exactly when his reinforcements would arrive. No matter how he calculated the estimated time his reinforcements arrived, it would only happen after Akira shot him in the head. So in short, Yajima is already checkmate."

 

"After Akira took a few steps closer to Yajima, he prepared a CWH anti-material rifle and aimed it at Yajima. Akira understands that Yajima is someone stronger than him, so it seems like he has no plans to lower his guard. He stood at a distance where he could safely kill Yajima even if Yajima suddenly jumped up and attacked him. His attitude and expression said that he would not hesitate to pull the trigger if Yajima made a suspicious move."

 

"Yajima looked meek as she raised her left hand towards Akira who revealed her submission while still lying on the ground."

 

(“T-Please stop... It's my defeat.. Please don't shoot....”) 

 

(“Why did you attack me?”) 

 

(“As I said, this is a misunderstanding.. Please.. Listen to what I say... If you only listen... I'm sure you will understand...”) 

 

"Yajima trembled as she begged for her life, she begged Akira to listen to her explanation."

 

"About having the upper hand here, he basically had Yajima's life in his hands. The situation gave Akira leeway to reassess and think about his next action."

 

(“What should I do now?”)
