GATE: Thus The Imperium of Man Fought There

Return

-M29. 671. Falmart. JSDF Base-

Itami and his group have returned from the Imperium of Man. Many of their colleagues seek them for an answer to a certain question: How does the imperium of Man look like?

But before they could answer the question, General Hazama summoned Itami and his group for a brief interview and meeting, much to the JSDF's dismay.

Although the question was left unanswered, they noticed a genuine change in the group. They boast with unexplainable aura and shine like beacons that light the darkness of uncertainty.

They did not take long to arrive at General Hazama's room. Itami knocks on the door gently.

"You can come in," The General replies from behind the door.

"You called us, General?" Itami asks, opening the door.

"Yes, I am." He nods in affirmation, studying Itami's figure more profoundly. As the rest of the group enters the room, Hazama notices something different about them.

"Is there something wrong with us, General?" Kuribayashi asks, slightly tilting her head.

"There is none, Kuribayashi," Hazama says in dismissal. "We will wait for Yanagida. Please have a seat."

They take their seats, posture straight, unflinching, and unyielding. Their eyes stare with conviction and discipline.

Hazama couldn't believe his eyes and instinct. He knows about them and their characteristics. Indeed they are very well-trained soldiers. But this was something new, almost unrecognizable. However, there are some particular features he could identify. They are the charisma and discipline of wartime soldiers.

How they managed to achieve such characteristics is a mystery to him. He needs to discuss it further with Yanagida.

At a later minute, the said man arrives.

"Sir," He greets with a smile, acknowledging the entire room.

"Since everyone has gathered, I will start the meeting." Said Hazama, signaling Yanagida to write everything down.

Then, an implausible story begins. They tell them about flying countries above the clouds, a palace of gold that spans the entire continent, and people with beauties exceeding anything they have ever seen.

It didn't stop there as Itami said words beyond their imaginations.

The concept of anime is still intact even after millennia. Even though the name changed to Animatio, the descriptions remain the same. Moreover, Imperium has recovered from the recently aired anime and recovered the entire series until the last episode.

They also describe technology like portal transportation is widely used in the entire Imperial Palace. When they were questioned about how that was possible, they discussed psyker.

"Psyker?" Yanagida asks, narrowing his eyes.

"Yes, psyker," Itami replied, nodding his head.

"What psyker actually is, Lieutenant Itami?" General Hazama feels intrigued, expecting an immediate answer.

"From what the Imperial told me. Psyker is a sub-type of human who is born with mutation. This mutation enables them to use power from the Warp." Itami answers the question.

"Warp?" Yanagida inquires, brows furrowed.

"I can't say about it for sure because they always avoid it whenever I press them about this topic." Itami shrugs, smiling wryly.

"May I know the reason?" This Yanagida is the one who asks, pressing the matter further with his stern expression.

"It's because we are still much younger than them." This one is Kuribayashi. "We are still innocent about the truth of the cosmos and its danger."
