Chapter 100

What does the term line of fire detection mean?

The concept of line of fire detection is pivotal in defining what truly constitutes a superhuman. It goes beyond mere attributes like speed and strength, delving into a realm where individuals surpass human limitations.

Superhuman (). The designation that transcends the realm of humans implies that one has reached a level that humans dare not breach.

When a person, who is designed solely to hunt other humans using the most powerful weapons devised solely by human technology and wisdom, reaches a point where they possess almost complete immunity to it, they are classified as superhumans.

-Click.

Ivan loaded his gun and slowly exhaled.

Biologically, humans in this world are completely identical to Earthlings. There are no internal organs attached for mana perception like Earths creations, nor are there special functions acting on the transmission body of the brain.

Everything from blood volume, muscle tissue, structure and function of internal organs, to the functioning of limb joints is identical to that of Earthlings.

So, the only reason why people in this world can perform unimaginable feats with their bare bodies on Earth is fundamentally one. Its because there is unimaginable power on Earth.

Magic.

-Swish

Ivan took a deep breath and accelerated magic in his neural network. This inexorable power is the driving force behind transforming humans into superhumans.

As mentioned in the past, magic is a utilitarian force that is like a nose ring when hung on the nose, or an earring when hung on the ear. Therefore, most otherworldly beings thought of it so naturally.

A power that anyone can wield if they have talent. A power that enhances the body, weaves magic, and produces strange commodities.

But not for Earthlings. If one knows the absence of magic, one must consider how it works. After all, there must be a fundamental principle behind all actions in the world.

Therefore, Ivan has conducted various experiments since he realized magic during his long military service.

How does magic strengthen the human body?

What are the limits of enhancement due to magic?

What effects does excessive or significantly deficient magic show?

An experiment on ones own body. Numerous samples collected at the crossroads of life and death called war.

At the end, two things were obtained.

Outstanding levels of mana response ability and understanding of the interaction between mana and the body.

It is natural, of course. It was a sensation obtained by pushing ones nerves to the limit.

Therefore, Ivan is confident.

Superhumans can be mass-produced with appropriate guidance and talent.

Since the curriculum for superhuman production means that excellent agents can be endlessly replenished, Ivan confidently introduced this education process to the Cleanup Unit.

Unfortunately, the Cleanup Unit couldnt even exceed 800 members in total, and even those were completely oxidized.

Those kids are different.

The bloodline of the hero party, the nature and talent tested for six months, are top-notch. Those little ones undoubtedly had enough qualifications to complete his education.

Furthermore, lets add one more thing, Ivan was a rational educator, so he didnt commit the folly of forcing his students to experience things he hadnt experienced.

If he could handle demons with just a handful of mana in front of their eyes, there was no reason those kids couldnt handle it in this far more unsettling situation.

He is such a merciful person.

Ivan strapped the gun to his waist and flicked his hand.

Starting from the signal reception point, the directive to start action began to spread to agents throughout the forest.

Its the first day of the exciting summer vacation.

Achoo! Ffftchoo!!

Why do humans cover their mouths when sneezing? Isnt covering your mouth when you sneeze basic hygiene? Hands arent meant for playing in the dirt.

Ecdysis sniffled, ignoring Elphieras words.

Ever since she realized that Elphiera was dozing off in the carriage while everyone else was experiencing something terrible in the forest, she had been upset.

And to top it off, didnt she sleep soundly under a warm magic spell even when the campfire went out and woke up refreshed!

What the Ffftchoo!

Theres a note

Oscar absentmindedly picked up the note rolling on the floor.

The note was written in neat standard script.

Captain, Unit 4 has returned.

Good job. Assign Unit 8 to surveillance, and Unit 4 gets 8 hours of rest.

Yes, Captain.

Ivan, who was looking at the map in the field tent, noticed that the responsible soldier who had finished reporting hadnt left and raised his head.

Do you have a question?

Yes! If its not too much trouble, I would like to inquire about the operational details!

What is it?

The soldier swallowed hard. He had at least five years of field experience, but the figure in front of him was truly a legendary figure.

The author of the detestable training plans of the counterintelligence headquarters. The author of the infamous new recruit interrogation guide. The fear he felt now could easily be anticipated given that such a person was directly training civilians right now.

I dont understand the significance of introducing the village at 12 oclock and withdrawing the troops from that area for this operation!

Hmm.

Ivan glanced at the operational map following the soldiers gaze. The direction of 12 oclock in the operational area based on the center of the mountain.

Its a pointless mountain ridge with a small mountain village, and at the same time, its opposite to the movement radius of the trainees.

In other words, its an area that the trainees cannot reach no matter what they do. It means he doesnt understand why manpower was wasted by introducing the village in that area and why troops were deployed there in the first place.

The 12 oclock area has become literally a no-mans land. In a typical military operation, such an area should not be created. At the very least, one surveillance outpost should have been assigned.

Whats your name?

Uh, I-Im Mikhail Mikhail Soromovich!!

Excellent. Mikhail. What do you think?

Although this operation is a training situation targeting students, that doesnt mean the learning of field operatives should be neglected.

Any rational educator would need to maximize the acquisition capacity of the responsible students.

In response to Ivans question, Mikhail spoke hesitantly with a stiff demeanor.

It seems more like a mock battle training targeting external simulated enemies, not for the internal trainees.

A mock battle?

Yes, it seems like just digging a route that would be good for enemy infiltration

Accepted. Your rank?

Sergeant!

Ivan nodded satisfactorily. Rising from a civilian to a sergeant in the counterintelligence headquarters strike unit meant he had enough real-world experience.

After this operation, youll be promoted to an officer. Report to headquarters.

Y-Yes, sir!

And if we answer the question, your thoughts are correct.

Ivan spoke softly as he looked at the empty section of the operational map.

Its a mock battle training to lure enemies. Youre right.

A proficient agent never formulates an operation with just one objective in mind.

Even if the training plan is for the students, its unlikely that such a large-scale mobilization of personnel would be driven solely for that purpose.

Ivan slowly checked his weapons while replying.

Because its common sense for the academy training sessions to be attacked.

Pardon?

The Crown Prince Faction.

The remnants of the disgraced nobility.

The demons.

Or perhaps rebels from another country, or an international terrorist organization. Whatever it may be.

Lets see who comes this time.

Since Ivan was a sensible person, he also prepared torture plans when preparing for such types of attacks.

And at this moment, there were at least 50 more field operatives from the counterintelligence headquarters to support him.
