As Toru and Hitomi wrapped up their resource procurement, carefully packing their acquisitions into the backpacks they had purchased, they prepared to execute their next strategic move. Toru took a moment to recharge and repair his matter reconstructor, ensuring it was fully operational before they departed. This equipment was crucial for their plans and needed to be in top condition for the challenges ahead.
Meanwhile, at a different location…
Sozen was orchestrating a meticulous operation. As the future heir to a prestigious company, he felt a profound responsibility to manage his team efficiently. His role required him to be at the forefront, directing his subordinates and ensuring their readiness for any situation. Despite their commanding presence and overwhelming numbers at the objective, they were facing unexpected difficulties due to a particularly troublesome adversary.
“Get a few guards up there!”
Sozen stood near the entrance of the building where his team operated with a notable presence. The area around him was shrouded in a dense fog, adding a layer of obscurity to the ongoing conflict. As he scanned the surroundings, he noticed a cloaked figure emerging from the mist, drawing closer to him.
“Save it, Yajima,” the figure echoed.
Sozen tried to discern the nature of his adversaries using his advanced Fieldread skill. Unlike Toru’s, Sozen’s mastery of Fieldread was far superior, allowing him to detect the skills and capabilities of those who came into his vicinity.

As the cloaked figure came into clearer view, Sozen’s Fieldread revealed crucial information about their skills. The cloaked individual had a notable proficiency in Precisioncraft, a highly specialized science, and possessed a set of skills that included “Slit” and “Split.”

Alongside the cloaked figure was another person in a maid outfit, who seemed to be observing the situation with a keen interest. Sozen’s Fieldread also identified her proficiency in Precisioncraft, albeit at a lower level, with skills that included “Slit” and “Sever Connection.”

Sozen’s confidence was palpable as he dismissed the potential threat. “Haha, a pincer attack is useless this late into the game,” he said with a hint of amusement in his voice. He had little concern about the cloaked figure and their companion, viewing them as minor challenges in the grand scheme of the game.
“Oh, don’t mind Mary,” Sozen continued, referring to the maid in the outfit. “She’s merely here to pick notes on how to lacerate spoiled brats.”
The remark caught Sozen by surprise. “Huh?” he responded, momentarily thrown off by the figure’s casual demeanor.
