Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Wait! Wait! Wait! I am not the enemy!"
The fierce humanoid monster raised both of his arms in a shield-like posture, trying to protect himself from Shirna's ruthless attacks as it tried to say that it wasn't an enemy!
However, how could a Kaiju not be an enemy?!
Whether it was Shinra or Kikoru, they knew that this monster was powerful, especially when the energy exuded from this monster was so immense that it made their bodies tremble!
Well, it was only Kikoru's, but Shinra was all calm since he knew well that this was Kafka.
Yup, while he knew well how cruel his action would be for making merciless attacks with the purpose of killing despite knowing Kafka's identity, this was something that he had to do, especially when Kafka had transformed himself into a monster.
For a man to become a powerful monster, something must happen no matter what; as Kafka had become a Kaiju, it was impossible for him to be a normal human. No, he shouldn't be a human anymore.
As Kafka had become a Kaiju, he was an enemy of humanity.
If this were an Isekai world, then Shinra might say that there was a possibility of humanity and Kaiju living in peace, living together with love and understanding, but this was a different genre of world; it was impossible for a naive world to be realized.
Still, Shinra knew that Kafka could become a monster, yet why did Kafka become one?
Did Kafka really think that he would be okay to transform during this exam?
This was the base of the Defense Force!
Did Kafka want to die and be used as an experiment?
'No, he is a naive guy...'
While Shinra was helpless, he also understood that Kafka was a naive guy, a single-minded guy, who just chased his dream, ignoring the rest, so if a reason existed why this guy transformed into a Kaiju despite knowing its consequences, then there was only one.
To save them.
It was because Kafka knew that Shinra and Kikoru were in danger that Kafka decided to transform into a Kaiju to save them.
Yet, while Shinra understood that, it was impossible for him to stop his attack, especially when Kafka's body wasn't that of a human but of a Kaiju!
A Kaiju is the human's enemy!
Even if Kafka tried to save the two, Shinra knew that he had to act like he didn't know, and thought that this guy was a Kaiju!
Also, at the same time, he wanted to know how strong Kafka had become after he became a Kaiju.
Kafka is weak.
This is an irrefutable fact that no one can change, especially when his unleashed combat force was just zero percent.
In other words, Kafka couldn't even exert the power of the combat force.
Also, while Shinra didn't despise Kafka's age since he had seen many old people, yet as strong as the young, or even stronger, the fact that Kafka hadn't been accepted to the Defense Force, even though Kafka had tried to join for so long, meant that Kafka wasn't blessed.
Kafka might be even weaker than that of a cadet, who was the lowest rank in the Defense Force.
However, as Kafka had become a Kaiju, he should become stronger, but how strong?
While Shinra wasn't sure, he believed that Kafka should become the strongest being in the world.
Where did this belief come from?
It was just because Kafka was the MC of this world.
The MC had always been the strongest, and because of that, Shinra wanted to see how strong this strongest was.
Could Kafka be compared to those strong characters in the world of Naruto or One Piece?
Yet, as Shinra started his brutal attacks, shooting him with explosive bullets, and combinations of grenades and flashbangs, Kafka also had a hard time, thinking that Shinra was so tricky!
As Kafka became a Kaiju, his power matched, if not exceeded, that of the strongest among all!
It could be said that among all Kaijus that appeared in history, he was the strongest!
Whether it was speed, power, endurance, or everything.
At the same time, Kafka also gained a beast-like, or a Kaiju-like instinct to fight!
Yet, even so, it was as if Shinra could read all of his movements!
When Kafka wanted to run to the right, Shinra would stop him, blocking that path, and it would continue that he was being cornered to the point that he couldn't fight at all!
'As expected of the most talented soldier!'
While Kafka felt his heart was heavy, he also grew more desperate since if this continued, he was afraid that he might—
Die.
Such a thought had never crossed his mind before, but Shinra was stronger than he had imagined to be, especially when Shinra's fist was also so heavy!
'It's like being hit by a truck!'
Kafka was never hit by a truck, but if he were hit, then it would be like this.
'No, this isn't the time for that!'
Yet—
"Wait, wait a moment! He isn't an enemy!"
When Kafka was in his crisis, Ichikawa came and quickly tried to stop Shinra!
"Ichikawa?"
While Shinra was confused, Kafka also used this chance to transform back and decided to show who he truly was. "I-I am Kafka! I-I am not a Kaiju!"
"...."
Whether it was Shinra or Kikoru, they were in silence, watching the Kaiju that Shinra had fought before become the man whom they had talked to before.
"Kafka...?"
Only Shinra and Kikoru were the only ones who saw this transformation, since Mina and Hoshina also saw how Kafka returned from being a Kaiju.
'Oh god...'
Kafka knew well that he had messed up.
Meanwhile, the mushroom-shaped head of the Kaiju frowned when it felt its body was dying.
"It dies?"
While it was confusing, it felt like some part of him was taken, robbed, which made him feel even more confused. It wanted to try to get the truth behind everything, yet when it thought about what had happened, it hesitated for a moment, but—
"No, I have to get to the truth behind it."
As a Kaiju whose purpose was to dominate this world, how could it stop just because of a strangeness that happened on the Tachikawa Base of the Third Division?
Only when it was thinking of setting its revenge in motion, giving its everything to take down the Third Division, and the mysterious man—
Ring!
"Yes?"
While it wanted to ignore the smartphone, it couldn't, and soon, the Kaiju transformed into that of a man, like a human, and no one would think that it was a Kaiju before answering the call.
"Newcomer, where have you been? We're looking for you!"
"I am sorry. I am on the toilet."
"Then, tell us beforehand, okay? You make us worried!"
"I am sorry."
As they talked for a while, they then hung up the call before it complained about a human being being noisy for a time. Yet, it was just a small problem for it since its purpose was clear, and that was to attack the Third Division, where the last time of its part disappeared, seemingly taken away by something.
