"It's showtime."

You quietly hum to yourself as a smile graced your lips. Eyes on the ground as you observe each traineees, helping and assisting one another to neutralize a single Yoju. While Narumi would just run around, aiming his gun at the Kaiju that had appeared in front of him and pulling the trigger with ease, instantly shooting the Kaiju in its core.

A smirk was on his lips as he watched the Yoju fall on its knees and lay lifelessly on the uneven ground of the training ground. Clicking your tongue on your fang as you grip your rifle tightly, you glance around you as you try to find a Yoju.

Perched on the edge of a high building, you scan the battlefield below, eyes tracking Narumi as he weaves through the wreckage like a shadow, taking down Yoju with sharp, calculated shots of his rifle. His speed is unmatched — every movement is smooth, every shot he take is precise.

You adjust your position, crouching down as the wind brushes through your hair. From this vantage point, you can see everything. A small smirk tugs at your lips as you grip your rifle, eyes locking onto a Yoju creeping up behind Narumi. Without hesitation, you take aim, your finger brushing the trigger.

Clicking your tongue out, you watch as it fell on the ground with a loud thud, shocking some of the examinees who were near the area. While Narumi seems to look annoyed since he knew you're probably the one who exterminated it. His annoyed scowl says it all — he wanted that kill. He whips his head up toward you, eyes narrowed, already knowing what you're about to say before you can even open your mouth.

"Not again," you almost let out a laugh when you can see right through his head and already know what he is thinking.  He never asked for your help, but you couldn't resist. You spot another Yoju closing in on his left, a low growl escaping its gaping maw as it barrels forward.

"You're welcome,"  you tease, the words dripping with amusement as you spin your rifle and jump down off the building you were on a second ago, and landing on the ground on your feet as you stand a couple feet away from Narumi.

A sharp glare was sent your way as soon as you stood next to him, a smile playing on your lips as you can see tick marks on his forehead. He was grumbling underneath his mask and you just brushed him off as you took aim your rifle on the side and without looking, pulled the trigger of your weapon, and seconds later, you hear the shriek of the Yoju before hearing a loud thud.

You quickly glance towards the fallen Yoju and saw that you hit right at its core which made a smile form on your lips before glancing back at Narumi, seeing that he was already gone from your side, jumping from the walls of the building as he dash towards the other side of the bridge where the Honju is.

Deciding not to follow him and just focus on assisting and helping the other examinees in exterminating the remaining Yoju. You glance towards the direction that Narumi run off to, you knew that it will only take less than 5 minutes for him to kill the Honju.

'He's such a lone wolf.'

. . .

"That's too easy," you hear Narumi muttered as he stood on top of the dead Honju — in which that he killed in less than 5 minutes, just like what you thought. He glance around, like he was looking for something until his eyes finally landed on a drone that floats a few meters away from him.

"I'm going to see if what you say is true... About the Defense Force." There was a grin on his face when he stated that, clutching his firearm tightly as you knew who he was directing his words to.

To Shinomiya Isao.

"Only because I was covering you," you shoot back, holstering your rifle, after a few seconds of silence. And without even a nano second, Narumi rush back down off the Honju and immediately grab your shoulders as his eyes were practically glaring at your soul right now.
