The ride in Akira’s truck became much rougher all of a sudden, as it zigzagged across the bumpy wasteland and made hairpin turns on a dime. Alpha drove erratically to draw the tankrantula’s attention to the truck and away from Shikarabe, but Togami was too busy trying unsuccessfully to stay in his seat to see the point of these maneuvers.

“Again?! What’s your excuse this time?!” he bellowed.

But he grew even more surprised when Akira climbed out of the driver’s seat and stood upright on top of the vehicle while it jerked and bounced, as though his balance wasn’t affected at all. Togami watched in awe as Akira readied his CWH, the weapon he’d used to wipe the previous target out in one hit.

Don’t tell me—he’s gonna do it again?! The truck was careening around on a level Togami had never before experienced. Sure, the target was larger this time, but he couldn’t fathom Akira aiming properly under these conditions. Yet when he saw Akira hold his rifle at the ready, unperturbed, he found himself actually considering the possibility. N-No way! If it was me up there, I’d hardly be able to stand!

Akira pulled the trigger. Boom! The rifle erupted, sending a bullet streaking toward the target ahead of them. Togami watched with bated breath as he gripped the truck’s edge anxiously.

Alpha drove recklessly because she suspected the tankrantula had already noticed Akira, and she wanted to steer him away from enemy fire—not to mention the wasteland terrain was already rough to begin with. Normally, anyone would be immediately thrown from the vehicle if they climbed on the roof in such conditions. But Akira held his gun completely steady, as though the turbulence didn’t faze him in the least.

This was possible because Alpha had taken control of his powered suit, stabilizing his center of gravity. She was constantly checking the truck’s surroundings on his scanner, calculating every single bump the vehicle would make and adjusting Akira’s body accordingly. Meanwhile, Akira had slowed down his own sense of time to steady his aim. As the world around him passed by like a calm breeze, Akira had barely felt any disturbance at all. Moreover, a blue line in his vision indicated the precise trajectory the bullet would take from his rifle’s muzzle to the target, ensuring that his shot would find its mark.

The moment the truck had felt completely still to him, he’d pulled the trigger.

When the shot erupted from the rifle, the recoil caused the entire truck to shudder as the round pierced the atmosphere between Akira and the target. Although the air resistance slightly slowed its speed, due to the distance it had to travel, he scored a direct hit. The powerful proprietary bullet struck the tankrantula’s hard exoskeleton—and bounced off harmlessly.

It did hit—didn’t it? Akira was puzzled. With Alpha’s support, he shouldn’t have missed. So why did it seem like the bullet had had no effect?

Yes, that’s right. However, it seems to have been deflected.

You mean even proprietary ammo can’t damage it?!

Well, what matters is you successfully drew the enemy’s attention.
