Karry reached Earth.
The blue sky felt strange after the silent darkness of the moon.
As he walked, Arnold's words echoed inside his mind.

Arnold:
"Karry, your mission is simple."
"Make sure no civilians get involved."
"There are many soldiers with the same mission as yours. Do not interfere with their operations."
"Do not involve the people of Ritna."
"The Destroyers and Runners may clash."
"Right now, the Destroyers have already set out."
"According to government law, when power-holder groups fight, ordinary humans are forbidden to interfere."

Karry exhaled slowly.
"So this is how the government controls chaos…" he thought.
His gaze lifted toward the sky.
"Now I must watch the Stars."
"Star People are always observing."
"I wonder how the government manages them…"
"Or do the Star People simply not care about the government?"
"…Or is it because of the Pseudo Entity?"
A chill passed through him.

Karry continued forward.
Soon, a massive structure appeared before him.
"…Is this the place?"
"What a huge campus."
It was a school.
Children's voices echoed across the grounds, laughter mixing with the sound of footsteps.
Karry lowered his presence and moved quietly.
Following the information on his paper, he slipped past the main buildings, heading toward the abandoned section of the school.
The air changed.
Cold.
Heavy.
Silent.
Then—
He saw them.
Several figures stood inside the ruins.
Fully armed.
Their weapons gleamed under the dim light.
Their aura distorted the space around them.
Karry's grip tightened on his sword.
"…So it begins."
