3rd P.O.V.

The plane that previously contained the superhumans had landed.

Takeshi, the current leader of this operation, smiled as he saw the report. "So, he really is on the island."

The two monsters fighting weren't quiet in their battle, so it became known who had been fighting.

However, one of them intrigued him more than the other.

Experiment No. 115.

The first successful superhuman that Ando had created.

Using Toji as a model, Ando could further human biology by modifying the human body to surpass the previously thought limits.

Genetics were everything in this world.

Every top-tier assassin today has some genetic advantage, be it senses or unique traits like the ability to see The Paths.

Now, Ando could turn nobodies into somebodies.

Give people with no hope of being something more than cannon fodder a purpose.

Make them able to stand among the strongest people in the world.

However, something was different about 'experiment 115'.

It wasn't unexpected that he would become an Order-level threat, but it was strange for another reason.

He was too strong.

When Ando wrote his notes, he assumed that Toji received the bare minimum amplifications like the others, which is why he was gifted to Asakura.

He would be a mere model for what was to come of the human race.

Toji would be another thrown-away experiment like countless others, outliving his purpose as a model.

Since why would the first 'successful' experiment be stronger than the others?

Takashi sighed. "How troublesome. There are still no leads on the database. The JAA isn't stupid enough to store its entire database on a USB drive or a disc. Besides, they most likely need much more space to hold everything."

Everyone that had been sent for the invasion has either ended up dead or reported useless information.

Nothing that related to the JAA's database.

Since there was almost nothing to go off, Takashi had to run through the possible forms the database could take.

Gaku and his family had already accessed the central security system and hadn't reported anything of note, including the library.

Takashi's eyes slowly widened. 'What if the database isn't a physical device? Is it possible that it's meant to throw people off if they discover its existence? People could be involved in the details, so I must expand my scope to individual members. In any case, I'll have to go down there personally since everyone has been useless.'

All of the superhumans have been mentally unstable due to the strain that comes with body modification, reverting their mindset to instinct.

So, instead of following orders due to status hierarchy or intelligence, they use strength.

In this case, Takashi was the strongest.

...

He smiled. "Maybe I'll pay a visit to 115. It's not like I'll lose to a mere model of what a superhuman is capable of. He's annoying, so I might as well deal with him now."

...

On The Island

*Huff* *Huff*

A woman with scales spoke. "Who knew a damn student could've given me so much trouble."

In front of her lies a bloodied, unconscious Shishiba with a broken hammer sitting next to him.

While Shishiba was an Order candidate, he wasn't at his original timelines strength.

After Sakamoto, Rion, and Nagumo were expelled from the JCC, Shishiba became the new strongest student. However, it wasn't enough for someone who could rival the current Order members.

She shook her head. "In any case, I should finish him befor-, huh?"

*BANG*

...

...

...

*boof*

The scaled woman fell face-first into the ground, dead with a massive hole in the back of her head, nearly taking the whole thing off.

She could sense the attack since she has a lower form of precognition, but it was too fast for her to react.

Usually, a pistol or shotgun at a medium distance wouldn't even scratch her, but she was hit by something different.

A 50-caliber sniper shot.

Even her reinforced scaled body couldn't stop a shot from an M82 to the back of the head.

As for the person responsible for the attack...

On the Roof of the JCC

A cloaked individual can be seen grabbing his head.

Something strange was that he seemed to be panicking.

He let go of his sniper. "Shit, shit, shit, shit. I shot while lost in thought! DAAAAAAMNIT! NOT THE REPTILE GIRL!"

The man was none other than the shut-in, socially awkward, greatest sniper in the JCC, Kamihate.

He had watched the fight from afar the entire time but didn't pull the trigger on the 'attractive' woman.

Due to his status as a shut-in, much of his time had been spent reading manga.

Even though she wasn't a weather girl, he saw something he could only dream of.

A demi-human girl.

Kamihate is a man who, while ruthless and a talented sniper, had a problem with women, especially weather girls.

While being lost in his thoughts of the woman, his hand reflexively pulled the trigger, and he ended up accidentally shooting her in the head.

He couldn't care less if Shishiba was alive or dead.

He just wanted to watch her.

In short...

...

He is a creep.

...

*drip*

*drip*

His face wasn't visible, but tears streamed down his cloak.

He looked toward the sky and grabbed his cloak with an iron grip. "WAHHHHH, I'm never touching a sniper rifle again!"

Well, that is a story for another time.
