Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 41 - Special Officer

(Cracked)

(Cracked)

On a clear night, in a forest in Yozora City, there was the sound of space cracks.

The space crack occurring slightly above looked like a shard of glass, as if trying to tear apart space.

“GRRRR.”

When we enter, we will see dozens of Eternites trying to break into a small crack, trying to get out of that place.

The goal, of course, is the earth.

……

[ETER Union Master Fleet ]

Above the clouds, we can see a flying island escorted by several small fleets. I say again, this is a flying island we are talking about here not a ship or a plane.

This is no ordinary island as you might imagine. Instead, it instead resembles a complex mechanism that is flying, judging by its irregular shape, but still cool.

The island has a complex and sophisticated system and also has complete facilities related to defense, assault, and even training.

There were many ETER Union soldiers with A rank and some S rank there. It was natural considering that the island was the main fortress of mankind.

The island is the Ether Union Master Fleet or commonly called ETION.

There are many stories to be told about the place. There are also many places to explore given the vastness of the place. But let's talk about that in the future.

Entering the main room, we will see some information officers are carrying out their duties. They are led by beautiful and sexy women. Who else if not the leader of our ETER Union, Hasegawa-sama.

Inside the room they report what has happened and observe complex things including graphics and programming languages.

“Professor, we have found one more crack, and this time it is near Yozora City.”

A short-haired female attendant, reported the information to Hasegawa from her seat.

“Cih, Ruler this time is so crafty.”

Hasegawa could not hide her frustration.

Lately there has been a space crack around Japan and the crack is scattered and irregular.

‘He tried to outwit us by making small cracks spread in every corner of Japan. And inevitably we have to put soldiers there. If this keeps up, we can't be sure where he'll turn up. In fact we ourselves will make our warriors spread.’

As Hasegawa has said, small cracks are common these days and that puts him in trouble.

Although ETER Union has many warriors all over the world, but there are some rules. For example, certain soldiers can only stay in one location. That prevented Eternite from delivering a surprise attack like the one that happened in the second Invasion.

Of course there were many warriors who could move freely, but because of that, Hasegawa had to concentrate them at the center of the Invasion in order to put up an effective resistance.

ETER Union tried to analyze where the possibility of Ruler would appear so that they could concentrate their strength and soldiers. They knew it would be in Japan, but Japan was vast.

But instead of going according to plan, they instead became confused because small-scale space cracks occurred in far-flung places. At this rate, ETER Union would instead deploy its soldiers as there was a chance that Ruler would appear in one of the small gaps.

There is no time to complain at this time.

“Alright, tell our officers who are around the area. Tell them to get ready.”

“Ano, professor, the crack that appears is likely level 4. But the B+ rank warriors above were not there. There is only special officer, do we need to deploy it?”

And here, another problem began to emerge.

In ETER Union there was a ranking system that blocked the deployment of soldiers. The center must first analyze the information then deploy soldiers according to rank.

This is done to minimize the casualties.

...----------------...

It will be like this in a short time.

[Small Crack \= Have Level 1 -> 3 can be handled by warriors rank C to B or above ]

[Midsize Crack \= Has Level 4 -> 6 can be handled by warriors ranked B+ to A+ or above ]

[Huge Crack \= Have Level 7 -> 9 can be handled by S rank warriors up to SS or above ]

[Cracks from Numbered Invasion (Incomplete Data) ]

Have Level 10 or Unknown (EX): Handled by all ETER Union soldiers who can move

...----------------...

Okay, back to the story

“What's just him?”

Hasegawa talked about the special officer stationed there.

“Ya, professor.”

Hasegawa mutters.

Not without reason he said that.

Basically special officers are ETER Union officers who are quite unique, some of them have certain uniqueness and special abilities, but that is not what makes them unique.

They are basically uncontrollable.

Okay, that's a bit ambiguous.

But you'll know what "Uncontrollable" means when you meet them in person.

As Hasegawa was thinking, she received a report from her officer.

“Professor Report, there is a call from the family Destin.”

“At a time like this? Is that about the crack? Do they know it too?’

Hasegawa guessed that the Destin Family also knew about the cracks they discussed, after all the Destin family was famous for the information. So there's no way they don't know the crack in Yozora.

'But why did they call us? Do they think that we don't know the information of the crack yet? I guess not so."

Hasegawa walks in a special place to communicate with the Destin family privately.

[Special Room ]

”So Family Head Destin, what do you want to talk about?”

“I'll get straight to the point. We know about the crack, and I hope ETER Union does not take excessive steps.”

“What do you mean?’

There is nothing surprising that the Destin family found out about the crack in Yozora City.

It's just, what does that mean? Are they referring to special officers? Well, it's not strange if they also know about the choices that ETER Union can make.

“I hope you don't take excessive steps like deploying special warriors. They still can't control themselves.”

“What do you tell us to just shut up?”

“There will be someone taking care of that crack. Special soldiers can watch him, but not act if not in a very emergency condition.”

“Who is that? What is it from Destin?”

“Not, there is one of our members who is there, but not him.”

“Then who?”

The head of the Destin Family moved his mouth to mention names.

Hearing his name, Hasegawa could not cover up his shock, but it only lasted for a moment.

“What's great, what's the fortune telling ability of the Destin family?”

Hasegawa was not curious. However, the words of the Destin Family Head gave him a high sense of curiosity.

“Sorry, but I have no obligation to answer that question.”

"All right, we'll believe it. But what if your prediction is wrong? After all, I still don't know the strength of that person and it's no ordinary crack. If anything happens to him and the people there..."

“Then we will be in charge.”

The head of the Destin Family cut Hasegawa's words.

“You've recorded our conversation, haven't you? You can use that as proof that we're responsible for the crack. And since it has risked the safety of many people, in case of emergency, we will deploy our soldiers who are there.”

“Alright, one more. Why do you do it?”

……

……

After the conversation ended, the head of the family of Destin turned to the right to look at his daughter.

“I've done it, Freya. Is this okay?”

“ Thank You Dad. About that you don't have to worry. Nothing will happen.”

“I hope it is like that.”

Unwittingly Riyu, several important parties had moved with their respective disasters. And what about Ryu? what's he gonna do?
