â° Resets Monday!
~~~~ââ~~~~~~~~ââ~~~~
Night. Shatterdome rest quarters.
Natsuki lay on large bed.
Room size: acceptable. Environment clean. Living facilities complete. Decorations flickered blue projectionsâcyberpunk aesthetic. Underground location: no outside view. Virtual window simulated moonlit night.
"Based on that kaiju's levelâ"
"This universe's mission shouldn't count as dangerous."
Natsuki recalled earlier battle details. Reviewed mentally.
This world's kaiju: completely different concept from past opponents. Massive bodiesâmismatched strength.
Tomorrowâlisten to humanity's detailed plan, make subsequent decisions. Minimum: gather more intelligence first.
Thus thought.
Thenâ
Gaze turned to right wrist bangle.
Black bangle gleamed under simulated moonlight.
[Currently Bound User: Land of Light Space Garrison Official MemberâNatsuki]
[Primary Mission: Investigate abnormal space-time fluctuations; eliminate culprit]
[Two Choice Missions settled]
[Current Hell-Level Mental Space Training Duration: Two hours]
[Start training? Yes/No]
"Training?"
"Train my ass!"
Natsuki waved hand. Dispersed panel. Dismissive expression.
Choice missions, hell-level punishmentâdirect ignore!
This far from homeâdidn't believe Hikari's reach extended here.
"Sleep!"
Grabbed blanket, pulled over. Head buried in soft pillow. Stopped thinking annoying matters.
"Haven't dreamed in so long. Hope for good dream tonight..."
Left those words. Fell deep asleep.
...
...
Time trickled away.
Natsuki gradually lost consciousness.
Truly hadn't dreamed very long time.
Deep sleepâdream called [Past] sought him again. Once more: shattered by subconscious.
Tonight: another dreamless night.
Howeverâ
This time: not just dreams sought him.
Something else.
[Assessing Mental Space environment... Assessment successful. Hell-Level standards met]
[Estimated duration: two hours]
[Initiating training-exclusive wake method]
THUNK!
Muffled sound rang in white space.
Immediately followed: roar.
"WHO THE FUCKâ?!"
Natsuki explosively launched from bed. Like awakened lion. Glared around, searching culprit. Golden eyes blazed ferocity.
Searched circle.
Didn't find perpetrator.
Insteadâenvironment left him stunned.
"Where the hell am I?"
"Still Earth???"
Stared at pure white space. Utter bewilderment. Scratched head.
Entire space: nothing except bed. Only white floors, white ceiling. No visible end any direction.
[User successfully awakened]
[Select primary training: Beam/Combat/Psychokinesis]
[Currently Mastered Skills: Specium Beam (Intermediate), Eight-Point Wheel (Intermediate), Ultra Psychokinesis (Basic), Space Combat (Basic), Ultra Barrier (Basic), Crescent Bullet (Basic), Specium Beam (Incomplete)(Sealed)]
[Note: Skills from Space Garrison archives. Revoked skills not displayed]
Moment saw panelâ
Knew culprit.
"HIKARIâ!!!"
"Just wanted sleep! Is that so hard?!"
Went berserk.
Knocked awake mid-sleepâanyone would break. What person does this?!
[Make choice quickly. Ten secondsâautomatic random selection]
"Fuck off!"
"Still making me choose? Choose your Babarue!"
"Hikari, you're such Babarue!!!"
Pointed at ceiling. Cursed.
Developed this broken bangleâBabarue among Babarues!
Ruined beautiful lifeânow won't let sleep!
[Auto-selection initiated. Randomizing... Success]
[Primary training: Psychokinesis]
[Assigning instructor... Success!]
[Venue switches thirty seconds. Prepare]
[Note: Cannot exit before duration ends unless special circumstances]
"???"
Watched system ignore wishes, run automatically. Momentarily powerless to complain.
Zero rights, huh!
"Whatever."
"Train if you want."
"Know everyone in Space Garrison. Don't believe can drag Captain here."
Chose give up.
Forget broken training.
Returned soft bed. Pulled blanket. Expression: do what you want.
Soonâthirty-second countdown ended.
Scene switch.
THUNK.
Watched helplessly: white space distorted. Blinding flash. Instinctively closed eyes. Felt midair. Comfortable bed vanished. Fell from sky.
"Tch... where now?"
Landed sandy ground. Kicked dust. Clutched back, slowly stood. Looked aroundâseemed outdoor Earth area.
All around: sand mounds. Tall, short. Complete nowhere appearance. Scorching sun hung sky. Baked skin.
This trains psychokinesis?
"This place... feels familiar?"
"Like seen in someone's mission file..."
Carefully examined sand mounds. More looked, more familiar. Ground beneath: countless tire tracks.
Looking tracksâominous premonition arose.
Remembered: once mission with Leo. Leo recounted bitter past experience...
Just as ponderedâ
Beepâbeepâ
Cream-colored vehicle drove from dirt road end.
Jeep.
"Oh shit!!!"
