“Speaking of Erintina, the power she uses has changed significantly.”

Is this story finally coming out?

Erintina’s growth was something that had to be emphasized in order to prove the children’s skills.

“I think you will be more curious about my ability to grow Erintina than about other things.”

“Each individual has a limit to growth, and everyone thought that was natural.”

However, my abilities easily broke the limits of growth.

“You broke it too easily! “Refreshingly.”

Commander Thalia clenched her fists as if she was excited.

“I have been to many battlefields with her so far, but this is the first time she has used an ability that reminds me of a natural disaster. “It was amazing.”

“Unfortunately, it is not an all-purpose ability. “It is only effective for a limited number of people.”

“Don’t think that’s all you can get away from me. “I’m a more persistent person than you think.”

Commander Thalia looked at me with a burning gaze as if she was going to eat me.

I guess he was greedy about my abilities.

“Are you planning on joining the military? I will allow you to work comfortably under my direct control. I can also block the pressure from above. So, can’t you use your powers for the good of humanity?”

She’s probably making up various plans using my abilities in her head right now.

He probably thought that I was needed for the sake of humanity, not for self-interest.

But it’s all useless.

Because my skills are not that good.

And for the sake of humanity, it is true that I should be outside, not in the military.

“Even if you put me in the military, you won’t get good results.”

If I were to guess what’s going on in Commander Thalia’s mind, wouldn’t she be thinking of creating an elite unit by developing soldiers with my abilities?

“I heard about that too. It’s not like you can arbitrarily decide who can develop your abilities. “I’d like to hear more about that.”

“For example, something like this. If there was someone here with my abilities, I should have known it the moment I got here. “You probably should have told me now.”

“Are you saying you can feel it even if you’re far away?”

“yes. But now I feel nothing.”

“Even though there are so many soldiers?”

“I think my skills will be used the most where I am now.”

What I meant was that if you ask me to use my abilities for the good of humanity, don’t even think about getting me out of Academy City.

“Tsk! It’s too bad. “Is there still a place where you still feel it?”

Commander Thalia asked again if he was still having regrets.

Even so, there’s no way an SSR character would suddenly pop out.

“doesn’t exist. “If my abilities were something I could control at will, I would have strengthened them first, Commander Thalia.”

It’s not just lip service; it’s sincere.

It would be to my advantage if Commander Thalia was in a strong position.

“Huh, I see. “Well, I’m sorry that you must have had the biggest regrets about your abilities.”

“no. it’s okay.”

“The children who ask you to send an official letter of cooperation to the academy are the children who grew up with your help, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. I know you’re worried because you don’t have any practical experience. However, I hope you will think of Erintina, who has not yet fully grown.”

This is a skill that Erintina also recognized.

It was natural for me to feel proud of my children’s growing skills.

“Do you think those children’s skills are better than Erintina’s?”

“Erintina has a lot of experience, and those kids lack experience, so I think it would be similar.”

“It also means that those kids would have been stronger if they had had more experience.”

“As the children gain experience, Erintina will receive reinforcements from me, so the end result will be the same. “It will be a battle of opposites.”

Who is stronger?

When the stats are similar, what separates the winner from the loser is the difference in compatibility.

“I understand that my daughter is among them.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

And Baine’s story came out of Commander Thalia’s mouth.

“Has that child become as strong as Erintina?”

“of course. “Baine used all my abilities to finish strengthening.”

“…I don’t know why he didn’t say anything to me.”

I realized that I had seized an opportunity at the unexpected words of Commander Thalia, who seemed a bit sullen, and my eyes sparkled.

“Maybe I didn’t have a chance to talk. He probably didn’t want to cause unnecessary worry. Doesn’t Baine know better than anyone else that the Commander is busy?”

“No matter how busy you are, it doesn’t mean you don’t have enough time to not know something important happened to your daughter.”

I thought it was natural that he couldn’t pay attention to Baine because he was so focused on the monster wave, but it seems he wasn’t interested in Baine.

“Commander, aren’t you doing important work protecting humanity? “He probably didn’t think his job was important enough to interfere with it.”

“… Are you saying it’s for my benefit to not have to worry? Work is work, and Vine is Vine. “It’s natural for parents to care about their children.”

“It’s not anyone else, it’s Commander Thalia. “Not ordinary parents.”

Commander Thalia immediately showed her disapproval when she was told that protecting the country was more important, so it was right not to worry about her, no matter how much she was her daughter.

“The job of protecting the country has been done well without any problems so far. “Do you think I’m an incompetent person who can’t even care about that?”

“Ah, is that so? I heard from Vine that I’ve been hearing that from my nanny since I was little. So, of course, I thought the commander would agree.”

“… The nanny said that to the kid? “Isn’t that what you said?”

“I was just telling you what I heard from Baine.”

As I spoke in a casual tone, Commander Thalia’s expression hardened frighteningly.

“It’s embarrassing because it’s about our family and something I’ve never heard of comes up.”

“Do you know nothing about this?”

“I thought it was strange that he was an unusually quiet child from a young age, but I thought it was his personality and understood it. But was that because there was another reason?”

The story goes that the author, the nanny, abused her emotionally at a young age and did things unbecoming of her position.

Baine, who was kind and kind, believed the nanny’s words completely, and continues to live like that even now.

The fundamental reason why two people cannot get closer despite loving each other.

“I guess I should meet Baine.”

Yes, these two need to talk.

So just making the commander feel the need to have a conversation was a great achievement.

“How do you plan to conduct the operation?”

Since we only talked about other things when we met, I was not able to receive confirmation as to whether the decision had been made to cancel the operation and proceed with the operation I had suggested.

“Actually, the matter was decided before you came. The operation was canceled long ago. “We have already sent an official letter to the academy.”

“Are you sure?”

I had no idea it would be such a hot decision.

“I would entrust the work to them, but I’m still not sure if it’s a good idea to leave all responsibility to the children.”

“When the kids come, check it out for yourself. “Once you see my skills, all your worries will disappear.”

Knock knock-

At that time, a knock was heard on the office door.

“What.”

Commander Thalia shouted, and an unexpected voice was heard.

“It’s me ~ Erintina.”

“Please come in.”

“thank you. hi?”

The person who opened the door and came in was Erintina.

She greeted me with a wave of her palm and a smile.

“Come on.”

“You’ve been running wild for quite some time.”

“Today was no joke, it was intense. “I guess it’s because I’ve been on a rampage for a while, so these guys have been well prepared, right?”

“You’ve been thoroughly prepared?”

“Of course you don’t have to worry. I solved everything. “I completely replaced it all.”

Erintina sits down next to me, picks up the undone cup of tea, and swallows it down.

Perhaps because she had just washed up, I could smell the strong scent on her body.

“Ahu!”

“Isn’t it hot?”

It cooled down to some extent, but it wasn’t so cool that I could drink it all.

“It was lukewarm?”

“okay. But why did you come here?”

“I heard you were here. Did you have a good conversation? How did you decide to work?”

“They said they already sent an official letter to the academy.”

“really? “I didn’t know that either.”

“What can I do when you work so hard to demonstrate your skills? “I, who have no power, should listen.”

“Commander, you can’t say you don’t have strength.”

When Erintina comes in, the atmosphere really comes alive.

She chattered about how she hoped the kids would come quickly and show the bastards an example.

“Oh, you know what? I lost to them. Isn’t it amazing? “It may seem like a joke now, but at the time it was a huge shock.”

“You lost? “No matter what, it’s hard for you to believe that.”

“The kids immediately said they would solve the monster wave on their own, but as adults, how could they just ignore it? Of course I said no. Then, after seeing their skills, I told them to come back.”

“I would just like to add that he was completely unaware of how good the kids were, so he was completely let down.”

“Well, that’s why it happened. “No matter how careless you are, it’s not easy to beat Erintina, so I know the kids’ skills are amazing.”

After hearing Erintina’s words, Commander Thalia’s face began to look hopeful.

I said this because I was 100% confident that the kids would live up to Commander Thalia’s expectations.

“He’s just pretending to be humble. “Their skills were second to mine.”

“Even if you say that, I won’t believe it unless I see it with my own eyes.”

“Commander.”

“hmm?”

“If Monster Wave ended with just kids.”

“… “What if it’s over?”

“When the children enlist, can you create a new unit?”

“New unit?”

“Yes, until now we have always been in the position of receiving attacks unilaterally. How long on earth do we have to stay like this? Even if we live like this, what about our descendants?”

“Then you can’t believe it… ?”

A look of astonishment appears on the commander’s face.

“We will attack them in reverse and clean up the contaminated area. Some children have appeared with skills that are not enough to even be called geniuses. “If not now, when will humanity get its land back?”

This may be humanity’s only chance to recover from the contaminated zone.

It would also be a huge shock to Commander Thalia, who had only been thinking about solving the monster wave and going back to the way things were before.
