The Ultimate Support Character

Our journey went unhindered through the first two Sentry Bases.

However, when we reached the Sentry MC-03's Area, we encountered a mishap or should I say idiots doing an idiotic thing.

Along the way, we stumbled upon another group of Metagen. Upon looking at the emblem they carried, it was a group of Metagens from the Moonlight Confederacy. The same faction as Kazeyoshi.

Maybe due to arrogance or something else entirely, the group attacked us without thinking that consequences for their actions might bite them back in their ass. They never even tried to communicate and check the Emblem which our Metagens bore.

That's why, being openly fired by that group of Metagens from the Confederacy, we have no choice but to retaliate. No. I retaliated using that reason to use them as practice targets for me.

Err… it's a rare chance, so why not take it? It's not like I'll kill them all for firing at us despite us informing the Sentry Bases beforehand.

Upon deciding that, I ordered my team to spread out while I made use of my Metagen's specialty. The Speed and the Haze.

Since the enemies were using their Metagen's machine guns, the bullets it spewed out were scattered. The only purpose of those guns was for suppression after all. It might be able to break open the regenium-coated armor of the Metagen but not enough to deal enough damage to it due to the regeneration properties of a Metagen.

When the team behind me went out their line of fire, I started my retaliation swiftly. Even before they could pull out their weapons and barrage us with their abilities, a purple hazy trail went past them.

In a few seconds after that, I managed to destroy three of their standard Metagens before the pilot of the Specialized Metagen who seemed to be the Core Pilot or in what they call them in the Confederacy, the Archlight, who has the same military rank as Kazeyoshi, called for a ceasefire.

And he only did that when he determined that he wouldn't be able to catch the Purple Haze. With how fast I inputted various commands in it, add to that the almost 140% utilization I could exert, the Metagen I was piloting glided over behind them while leaving a trail of purple haze which covered their eyesights.

Also, the sword that I had replaced was made from pure regenium. Not only does it regenerate, but the conduction rate of it was also too high that my Energy Slash and Cleaving Blades using a Metagen slashed the three standard Metagens from their waist, turning the 3 Metagens be separated into 6 pieces.

I deliberately didn't target the cockpits at the chest. I only aimed for the Metagens' destruction and not the life of whoever was Piloting them.

Err… Pure Regenium weapons are great. I'll ask Nysia to custom-make pure regenium weapons for the other girls. It will break but it will recover.

Well, if there's a chance to learn how to craft enhanced weapons, I'll try and learn it.

I'll try and learn everything that can power them up. Err... that's of course if I was also interested in it.

Pushing yourself to learn something you're not fond of isn't fulfilling and you will only find yourself struggling with it which in turn will give you poorer results than what you expected to get.

Crafting can be fun but I had no time to learn it here in the Mortal Worlds. I'm interested in Formations though. I still couldn't forget the extreme heat that almost burned me when I was acquiring Jayna's Earthfire Essence.

"Wait! State your affiliation!"

Suddenly a screen which showed the face of the guy piloting the Specialized Metagen appeared on top of my screen. He had a look of horror on his face and also anger.

"Huh? Are you blind? Shouldn't you ask that before opening fire towards us?"

I calmly questioned him which made him grit his teeth harder. It's already a slap that he couldn't catch me and now I'm questioning him instead of answering.

Err... What should he expect? That I should bow and apologize?

"We're Confederacy Soldiers and you're flying inside the Sentry Base's jurisdiction where we are stationed, of course, we'll fire at you!"

He shouted as a response but even he was not sure if what he's retorting would scare me. I destroyed three of their Metagens easily, even if that were standard Metagens, they're not supposed to be cut in half effortlessly.

"Did we show any hostility? Did you stop to ask us for our affiliation? Did you even look at who you're firing at? Also did you not receive the news that there will be a Patrol Team that will pass by? Huh?!"

Faced with my continuous questions which I ended in a strong tone, the guy couldn't answer. His face has almost turned black from the suppressed anger and humiliation he was suffering right now.

Good for him, I even left out that there were also League members inside that Sentry Base and not just the Confederacy's own men.

"That… is certainly our fault but you... You destroyed three Moon Warriors!"

The guy furiously shouted that his spit even showered his screen.

The Moon Warriors he was referring to is the equivalent of the Primeval Knight, the standard Metagen for the Confederacy.

Conflict like what has just happened to us was actually fairly common, according to Nysia. That's why she told me that if they opened fire first, that's already a sufficient ground for self-defence. She even specifically said it like this,

'Destroy some Metagens or even better, a Specialized Metagen to let them feel the sting. Those from the three factions are too arrogant that they always bully the members of the League.'

Every Metagen has their own recorder so if they took those as evidence, it would be proven that the fault didn't lie on us and we have the previous two Sentry Bases who could prove our purpose even if this group failed to get the message.

I don't know what's in that guy's head that he did such a stupid thing. Considering they just decided it like that, did something happen to them?

"That's not my fault. I'm just protecting my team. So if you still want to confront us, I'm all in. But if not, contact the Sentry Base and check for yourself. Or do you want us to escort you back there?"

The guy didn't reply back and just harrumphed before he turned off the communication.

For the meantime, I went back to gather my team.

They all somehow cheered as if I did something incredible. Throwing praises at me like I'm the strongest Mythic-rank expert. I guess that's what Nysia said about them trying to curry my favor. They will surely report what happened to their boss back in the HQ.

After a while, the Archlight guy appeared on my screen again and told me that his group and our Patrol Team were to go to the Sentry Base together.

Judging from his expression, he's swallowing down his anger. Surely, he finally got the news about our passing when he contacted the Sentry Base after turning off our communication.

Now that I have the time to think of it, they didn't appear from inside the jurisdiction of that Sentry Base. Most probably they went outside for a mission, hence they didn't receive the news about us.

I don't know what happened and I don't want to know, however, I will surely be forced to know about it once we arrive at that Sentry Base.

It's just the 3rd and we're already delayed like this. Haa.

Once we landed inside the Sentry Base, we were welcomed by the Base Commander and a crew of both Confederacy and League members.

Everyone here already knew the situation. It's undeniable that we were fired upon first so my retaliation was considered self-defence.

If the Confederacy guys pushed upon it, it will surely drag the other two factions who will back the League. They wouldn't afford the loss of connection to the League over a simple dispute as that.

The League's value was something every faction coveted, especially the Head, the strongest Mythic-rank Pilot in this world. If one of them allied with the League, they could slowly swallow the other two factions. However, Nysia didn't have any plans for that so she's maintaining this kind of connection to the three. In this kind of connection, she's siphoning off the three factions' resources to empower her organization.

For sure they knew that it was her purpose for building the city in the middle of the three but they could only turn a blind eye on it. Nysia's focus was the Darkgens and the Alien Civilization after all and not the regenium mine that they treasured.

"In this incident. The Purple Haze acted in self-defence. The two parties; The Moonlight Confederacy and the Primeval Aegis League, deemed this case as closed. The Patrol Team led by Core Pilot Daisuke will continue on their journey to the Sentry Mc-12 while The Assault Team led by Archlight Norom will stay here and await orders from the Confederacy HQ."

The Base Commander who was affiliated to the Moonlight Confederacy declared.

Though the Base Commanders sounded like they had a high rank in their respective organizations, they're also just at the level of Elite Members.

Turns out, the reason why those idiots opened fire at us was because they failed on catching a notorious smuggler during their mission. Bad mood and looking for something to turn their frustration on, they kicked a diamond bucket by meeting us. And since they're out of the base, they really didn't receive any notice about us.

Well, there's that. After resting for an hour in that base, we continued our journey.

We have three days to patrol that area and see if the Darkgens are really there.
