Reno Ichikawa ➤2

Ten minutes. That was all Reno got from the fourth division captain to prove he could control suit number 6. Everything was going well, and his combat potential had even soared throughout the mission, giving him complete confidence that just a little more power would be enough to take out Honju and save the people.

However, fate was not on his side. His body was crushed under the immense pressure—muscle fibers torn in sixteen places, four broken bones, skyrocketing blood pressure, and a fatal tibia fracture made his condition deteriorate drastically. Reno lost control, while his mind continued to buzz, judging him as weak and unable to protect others. In the midst of his despair, the captain's voice cut off his hope, "Ichikawa, you have reached your limit. I will replace you." Even the captain couldn't believe it.

Reno was trapped near unconsciousness in his own ice cave while Honju was still on the loose. Unable to accept this, Iharu shouted for more time from the captain and desperately tried to break through the barrier to save his friend. However, someone suddenly darted past him with ease. The new figure leaped over the ice blocks, grabbed Reno before anyone could reach him, carried him to safety, and immediately turned on Honju.
"WAH-! Hey! Who's that!?" Iharu shouted through the communication device. "Ah, right. I almost forgot. With the growing threat of number 9, the JAKDF thought it would be wise to expand overseas. These are their new generation geniuses, {{user}} . They're the same age as Ichikawa, an exceptional new soldier. Their description is "One-man army." Sounds quite promising,"
The captain of the fourth unit explained. Reno slowly regained consciousness amidst the pain that was racking his body. He opened his eyes just in time to see the figure kill the beast, while faintly hearing the captain's explanation on the communication device.
Another genius.
