The Evil Organization's Recruitment Ad

I can see tension running on the confronting five. Though thunderous and windy, their temper will not cloud.

That's just about warriors of war. Ikeno was only slightly impressed.

"Shit...... guys. For the world we want to protect. To end this battle!

Red (don't give me) Kotaro (this is how it is), the leader, speaks up and the four of them nod.

"Exchange!"

Reach out to the gimmick everyone is wearing on their arms and manipulate the gimmick along with the big action. It's a famous story that that behavior is a switch to amplify their psychic power and thereby wear a suit that materializes.

Red, blue, green, yellow, peach. The glow of the five colors envelops them, and the light they touch explodes. In the next moment a psychic soldier emerged that transcended humanity.

I can see the rain grains around them evaporating in an instant. It would be due to an explosion of concentrated psychic power. Even at the time of transformation, they have no gaps at all.

Psychic Squad Maloon 5, its brave name is not false.

Then this enemy deserves my full help.

"Ha ha!!

Ikeno deployed Armor's wings. And blow thrusters, accelerating their own bodies knocked down to limitless ground criticality.

Naturally, it makes sense to storm from a low position. If you put the opponent's starting point of attack above yourself, the attack ray will inevitably come from the diagonal top. As a result, the direction of travel will no longer be blocked. What's more, just advance faster than your opponent has predicted, and you can launch an attack.

And this one is faster than accelerating with a thruster. The closer the ground surface, the faster it can get. In addition, humans lose defense against face-to-face attacks such as overhead or foot attacks.

On top of that, Maloon 5 is a psychic soldier and specializes in telekinesis, barrier and other ranged fights. Though covered by ability, the rate of reflection and motor ability is not so different from that of an ordinary person.

Therefore, in this phase, melee battles from high-speed assaults at low altitudes are the best choice.

There is no word for stupidity in the battle of Ikeno. There is no word for dark clouds.

Ikeno knows. Victory is given to those who act to triumph.

I'm not a genius.

The telekinesis unleashed by Maloon 5 blurs over Ikeno's head one after the other, striking out the floor behind him. Consider the speed of the advance. If the next bullet is released, accelerate it even further.

"Son of a bitch!! I'm the guy!!

Immediate responses were Maloon Blue, Aoichi Kogure. Ikeno was pushing for pink first, but Blue comes forward himself.

This is correct. Pink is the weakest. But it has the ability to recover. For Ikeno, it should be defeated first, and for Maloon 5, it should not be defeated.

But that's okay.

"Ha!"

Ikeno did not slow down, but cut the gun blade straight up towards the blue.

The super-scientific blade, which weighs a lot harder to wield if you're a regular person, boasts a cut enough to cut a rock in a single blow. No matter how maroon 5 is if you hit it directly, none of them should be intact.

But.

"I don't know... Huh!

The blade slashed the sky, which was a blow that could never have been deflected if you considered your posture. Blue is disappearing. However, I could only see the remnants of the blue light in front of me.

Then.

Ikeno takes the shaken blade straight to his shoulder and instantly switches the blade to shotgun mode. And fire at the rear without a time lag. I don't look back.

An attack that could not have been sent to 'Maloon Blue'. Then it can be determined that this is due to short distance instantaneous travel (teleport). And if it disappears, it comes out. So where are you coming from?

If you think calmly, it makes sense to come out of this sight. Ikeno therefore fired a bullet behind his back over his shoulder without confirmation.

From behind, I heard the bullet burst and the blue stunned voice. That's enough.

It also remained forward-facing in response to other attacks.

"Uri ah!!

"Hey!!

From the front right, a fisted blow combines the psychic power of yellow, and from the front left, an attack by debris floating in red telekinesis.

"Ha!"

Along with a laughing mood with his nose, Ikeno stuffed his way with yellow in total disregard of Red's offense.

The worst part is trying to respond to two attacks on the spot. If I do that, I'll always take both. So instantly take your best hand.

Yellow is closer than rubble. And with martial arts, Ikeno never takes lag.

Ikeno released his fist from the outside of Yellow's fist, trying to overlap his arms. Don't forget to blow your elbow vernier to accelerate your fist and lower it to slip your head.

Gatsy, such a dull sound sounds.

As a result, Ikeno had sent a yellow punch with a head slip, striking a blow by the cross counter.

"... ah, but..."

Ikeno doesn't stop. Disable Red's unleashed debris by shielding the fluttering yellow through the side of the yellow that stopped the movement due to instant damage.

Just five seconds from the first low-altitude assault.

"... What's up Maloon 5. To that extent?

After a moment of intense fighting, Ikeno stopped moving because of Wing and Barnia's small pause, let him make a statement looking down at the five righteous men.

"Aoi! Kaoru! Hang on...!

Others help up the blue and yellow wounded in the current attack. They prioritized you over the pursuit of Ikeno.

"Oh, I'm fine. But he... he's not like before. Far stronger."

"Let it go. Here, a little bad."

The boulder should be called the Rocks or even though it was attacked by plasma shotguns and armored knuckles, it stood up with both blue and yellow in the air. Probably reducing the damage with psychic barriers, etc.

The opposing Ikeno must be deadly in a few shots if they take their offense in a row, no matter how equipped they are with armor. But Ikeno doesn't consider it unfavourable.

"Of course not? I thought I'd be in the same place forever."

Yes, I assure you. That is the most important element that adds Reiji Ikeno.

I'm not the kind of genius you think I am. I just hate losing more than anyone, I'm just dressed up, I'm just a hard worker. To win, just keep moving forward to stay strong.

"... and you are strong indeed. And yet, why... Huh!

Red told me to scream.

"Why aren't you trying to use that power for the right thing!?

Red said, the cries of Red Mitsutaro seemed like a whisper.

I see, maybe people like him don't really understand. And maybe it's heartfelt sad.

But from Ikeno, they suffer more from understanding.

I'm not interested in justice or evil.

This was what Ikeno meant.

Red, Maloon 5 is strong. It is arguably the highest level of human existence. Use that power 'to protect'. Self-sacrificing that way of life is as if I can't empathize.

I'm not disgusted by anything. I don't have to know if I'm being forced to, it's what they like and do with them. If you are proud of the way you live, the way you are, it is far more commendable than the scumbags of common sense.

Meanwhile, I can't even empathize with Komori Ning's way of life. I understand the belief that the man who uses his power to "break it" wants to change the world. I hate the way he tries to do it by betting on everything he's got, but that's one way to go.

But I don't care how the world is.

Justice and evil, it's both the will to work into the world, and the opposite is just the direction, Ikeno thinks.

"... not interested... because?

"Oh, I'm a good swimmer."

I don't care what the current is, I don't want to keep it like you guys, and I don't want to change it like that guy.

Of all torrents, I can continue to be me. Let me prove it.

"... be...!?

I could see Red's upset. Sometimes I was a Slayer executive, and I guess I don't understand its sincerity as a statement by those who help Metallica in this showdown.

"... Sakura, heal everyone. When you're done with that, get in the power charge. I'll deal with him in the meantime."

The slightest similarity Red had shown was gone in seconds. Instead, it is the warrior who tries to pierce his path by his strong will.

Immediately, debris and energy waves flying at high speeds by telekinesis strike Ikeno.

"Ha! Can't I forgive you? Then take it down."

Ikeno cuts off one rubble after another, avoiding energy waves.

Red is strong. Probably resistant to 'second' in the Rocks. And four people support that. So even as Ikeno, this battle is not easy to win.

But I win. Otherwise it makes no sense.

That's when Ikeno didn't dare make the choice to stand at the top of Metallica when he won a duel with Ninja Komori. And kept Komori Ning alive.

I noticed. to the fact that the culmination of Metallica is not 'the strongest', etc.

And there's nothing Ikeno wants to do with Metallica himself.

Ikeno joined Metallica because he wanted to be strong.

Strong, that's very important. No matter what the world may be, no matter what happens, in order to remain high, in order not to be dictated by someone else but yourself in their own way of life.

I couldn't forgive myself for being helpless about it at the time Rocks and evil organizations were allocating it.

Even though it was such a world, others who lived caricaturally could not understand.

Ikeno had a sense of excellence, and he had never lost in his life before.

But until then, being a normal man, would I have been able to resist the great currents of the world? Would you have stayed in front of a rock or evil organization with enormous power and still have what you wanted?

No. That can't be right.

To put it to the extreme, Ikeno could have been a different Guardian. And I could have climbed up that way. To be a man who won't let anyone else crush his way of life, pride.

I only chose Metallica because I decided I could climb faster.

And it came true. He even defeated Komori and took control of Metallica.

But Ikeno is not like Komori. I don't even think of leading evil (Metallica) to change the world, etc. I wasn't going to fight for evil until I wasted my efforts. I wasn't interested in Metallica anymore.

After that duel, it was easy to imagine that there would be a final battle between righteousness and evil.

Either way, it didn't matter. I thought it was more important after that fight.

That's why I didn't become the leader of Metallica.

And despite this, there's another reason why you didn't kill Komori Ning.

So for this fight, we win.

"What's up? Are we out of energy yet?

Ikeno laughs with his nose and fires reinforcement bullets from the gun blade toward Red.

"Huh!!

Red stops it all in the air and knocks it off to the ground.

Such an attack was prolonged and repeated against the backdrop of lightning and night darkness.

"... that's better for you. There must be a limit to strength and bullets."

Indeed, what Red says is true. Anyway, there are five Supermen. Also, if you look at the way Red fights, you can tell he's buying time. I guess I have an idea.

"I guess. Well, I dated him this far. I don't know what you're going to do, but I would have let you buy me enough time already. Just do it."

Ikeno dared to say that.

A special blow with Maloon 5's confidence, that's a move that unites the powers of the five to shoot. If you can avoid it, then there are just five people there with gaps. Discuss there.

I'm not going to have a worn out war with Dallas. Try to surpass the biggest attack yet.

"After all, were you aware? But you underestimate us too much...!

Red also seemed to have noticed Ikeno's aim. And on top of that, I'm not going to change the means of attack. I guess we'll be so confident in our moves by then.

"Light! I can go now!!

Pink voice, it was also full of certainty of victory. Red answers it and flies to the other four.

If you do the gaze, everyone's body is glowing in their respective colors. Apparently, he was doing a lot of energy.

"... you are strong. But I'm alone. I'll show you the power to fight with your people."

A leading red pronounced an unmistakable word. At the same time, the other four further enhance their respective brilliance.

"I can fight to protect you. I can be strong because I have a bond. We can't lose to you who don't know that...!...... so ahhh!!!

With ambition, the aura wrapped around Red's body sparked, and the shape of the suit changed.

It is understandable that it has evolved from a stronger glow and an even more gigantic aura, a spark that flashes around it, to a level different from the psychic power it has ever had.

"Come on!!

As per Blue's decree, four auras flow to Red.

A five-coloured band of light runs around the red perimeter. The storm blows and the night is wiped out.

"... ho"

Ikeno raised his emotional voice when he saw the energy value displayed on the glass monitor.

When it comes to Maloon 5's Special Attack, Justine Hammer is an aggressive telekinesis wave that unites the powers of the five into one, but this is different. Each of the five lights is a conventional amount of energy without Justine Hammer. Five Powerful moves for a single hit.

This is speculative, but I guess it's due to the fact that Red's evolution has allowed him to handle more energy to date and the fact that the other four have grown.

"Justine Hammer Five Strike!!

Five muscles of light emitted one after the other from Red's right fist, along with five growls.

They controlled the orbit with telekinesis. It was even like a rainbow.

"Ha!!!

Ikeno hung all of Armor Thruster's remaining energy to accelerate.

Not to escape greatly. The way forward is the five righteous men.

Five muscles of light striking at about the same time, but it is not 'completely simultaneous'. Then I'll try to avoid it. And run through the sky, let them knock you down.

Like lightning, like thunder.

Green light comes first.

When it moves big, it can't handle the next bullet, and the propulsion drops. So Ikeno moves his body slightly in the smallest motion and avoids this. I'm not stopping you.

I just scratched it and the armor on my shoulder blew up.

- The power of bonding, the power to protect. I'm not going to insult that. You guys who keep fighting deserve respect...

Next, the mountain-blown, peachy light augmented the brilliance at his feet.

Diagonal your body and raise your knees to avoid this. Wind pressure alone stopped the thrusters in the legs from functioning. With the propulsion of the wing only, proceed.

- But this power I've built up, the way I live for my own pride, I won't let anyone deny it. This strength is nothing less than what you call 'strength'. Cool? Oh, yeah. But it's thorough. What's wrong with that?

A flash of pale light strikes my left chest without getting my hair broken.

I won't stop the progression only, let my body spin and take evasive action. Completely irreplaceable, the upper body's energy conversion armor ran out of all its energy residue and lost its defense. You can't even take another blow. But move on.

- For me to be me, Reiji Ikeno keeps winning -

A flash of red (don't give me) approached my eyes.

"Haaaa!!!!"

Bigger than ever. Plus, swing down and slap the gun blade with your temper. Of course, that can't prevent it. However, it can be done by using the momentum tapped to dance the universe and spinning over the flashing sky.

The gunblade was shattered and scattered.

"Become...!? Oh no......!!

Diving through five flashes, Ikeno landed in front of Maloon 5.

I don't have any more gear except small guns. But the opponent is right after he unleashes the big move. There is an instant gap. That's enough, then.

"I told you. I can't lose......!!

Maloon 5, who was sure of the victory, Ikeno, who had made up his mind to fight back by overturning it. What this difference of consciousness makes in the melee, where victory and defeat are decided in an instant, was absolute. Ikeno immediately pulled out a small gun, and did not give it while taking defensive positions, and.

He defeated the righteous five.

Five people rolling at their feet. There is no need to hesitate to see if he has breath, but he will definitely be incapable of fighting.

"... man. Is this possible?"

Ikeno shrugged so purging what was the armor thruster he himself was entangled in. That's the famous Maloon 5, it didn't seem like an easy win. This is even what they're dealing with. I'm not going to fight, but assuming Dylan was the opponent, I don't know what would have happened. No, on my own right now, I might not win.

The floor on which the battle was taking place no longer completely destroyed the ceiling, with the top floor of the fortress visible diagonally. There, I guess there's that guy.

I can't hear any more combat noises from the lower floors. If you look down, the field battle outside the fortress also seems to have been settled one way.

It will mean that only two men will remain a decent force. Just as Metallica put all its might in the way of the Komori Nings, I guess the Simple Plan supported all but one man to discuss it.

The showdown between righteousness and evil becomes a single battle on paper.

"... Ha"

Ikeno snorted. I was crazy.

As I said to Red Kotaro, Ikeno is not interested in justice or evil if it were meant to be. I don't care which one wins this fight. Yet I laugh when I do this.

But I wanted to know. that that man who leads evil can really change the world. Can the evil kings and men defeat the knight of silver, the incarnation of righteousness?

I'm not going to back you up. But as I followed the war, I wanted to see it. If you fought on mutual terms, could that man win?

That's what I thought, so Ikeno fought Maloon 5. Because if we let them go like that, we would have seen the battle.

If you're going to lose, that's it. Even if I win, it's none of my business. I have 'things to do' after that.

Besides, which one of us has no 'ahead' of him. That's why I didn't kill him then. Until the end, I thought I'd see what he did.

Think about it, knowing that the man was no match for me, he dared to come to a duel for purpose, and maybe defeated as planned. Considering what the defeated guy said to me on that occasion, it would be reasonable to judge him so.

I beat him. But he didn't give a shit about beating me from the start. Because they gave priority to what they were aiming for over that.

So, a man who's supposed to lose to me, if it's for what he's after, if it's for faith, can defeat someone I might not win?

"... Shit, he's an unpleasant man everywhere"

Ikeno was so poisoned that he distracted himself from the top floor of the fortress.

Let me see. The consequences of what you've been through.

As the man this Reiji Ikeno admitted in his lifetime to being just one, a good enemy (rival) 'was'.
