"I might join them in a bit," you mentioned casually to Hoshina, who responded with a nod. With one hand on your hip and the other holding your polearm, its blade pointed downward, you scanned the fungal-type Honju ahead. Your gaze then shifted to the group of guys confidently leaping off the building, determination was palpable as they feel the air brushing against their skins.

Then, Hoshina erupted into laughter once more, unable to contain himself. "Is he serious?!" he exclaimed, pointing incredulously at Kafka who is carefully scaling down the side of the building. "Are you trying to be Spiderman now?!" He bent over, clutching his stomach with one hand and using your shoulder for support with the other, thoroughly entertained by the spectacle. His forehead leaning on the blades of your shoulder and you let him be.

You rolled your eyes playfully at Hoshina's antics and shook your head with a smile. "He is your comedic relief, after all." You quipped, a smirk playing on your lips. "And he somehow managed to lift the nervousness in everyone." Glancing at Kafka who was chuckling nervously as the others were playfully teasing him of how he had decided to go down.

You cleared your throat as you now refocus on the task ahead, you tightened your grip on your polearm, waiting for the right moment to follow the others. "There are too many Yoju swarming Sagamihara." You muttered underneath your breath, feeling Hoshina snaking his hands around the small corner of your back. "The recruits will be drained once the Yoju inside of the Honju began swarming." Glancing at the purple haired vice captain that stands close to you, he gave you a smirk, tilting his head to the side.

"Why not show off?" You raised an eyebrow at his suggestion. You twirled your polearm skillfully, then balanced it on your shoulders. Hoshina stepped back slightly, wary of the blade near his face, and you offered him an apologetic smile in return.

"Don't mind if I do," you replied with a grin, lowering your hand to your side and placing the other on your hip. Standing on the rooftop's edge, you felt the cool breeze tousle your hair as it swept past. With a final glance at Hoshina, flashing him a confident smile before leaping off the edge of the building.

As you descended, the rush of wind enveloped you, exhilarating and freeing. The ground rushed up to meet you, and for a moment, you felt weightless, suspended in the thrill of the leap. Landing with practiced ease, you rolled smoothly onto your feet, adrenaline coursing through your veins.

As soon as your feet touched the cold cemented ground, a Yoju lunged towards you. With a swift movement, you swung your arm, effortlessly slicing through the small creature as your blade cut through its core.

"Unleashed Combat Power, 80%," a voice announced in your earbuds as you swiftly redirected your focus. Without hesitation, you leaped towards a nearby building, seamlessly parkouring through the narrow alleys. Your senses heightened, scanning for any sign of the elusive Yoju lurking around Sagamihara.

Spotting a midsize Yoju and seeing some soldiers aiming their rifles at its body, trying to locate its weakspot. Running towards them with your blade facing forward, you leap through the air, you body flipping as you're on top of the Yoju. Your blade facing the crown of its mushroom cap head and you easily pierced through its soft flesh and heard a cracking sound of the core.

"T-thank you, [Name]-san!" They saluted at you and you just nodded st them before once again propelling yourself, and with the use of the combat power, you managed to run on the side of the building.

'There's no time to waste.'

. . .

"The Yoju's weakspot is at its neck, soldiers with not enough combat power should shoot them behind their back. Also, the Yoju had a reproductive organ on their rear, it is highly recommended to destroy them before their corpses spawn another swarm of Yoju." Hearing Okonogi's voice in your ear, announcing to everyone the weak spot of the fungal-type Yoju and also the most important part, the reproductive organs that they have.
