With a deafening roar, the swarm of giant monsters covering the Pangea Empire's frontline fort was blown to bits in an instant.

Blades of light piercing the heavens sliced through the dark clouds, followed immediately by an absolute-zero ice storm that turned countless monsters into massive pillars of ice. A perfect, merciless, and overwhelming display of power that allowed no counterattack.

"Is it... over?"

Siam, the youngest member, lowered his hand, his greige hair damp and still carrying the lingering chill of his freezing magic. Beside him, Lucian elegantly straightened his illegally modified uniform with gold buttons, smiling brightly as he dispersed the remaining particles of light from his hand.

"Hehe, our coordination was perfect again today, wasn't it?"

"Too right. I barely had to do anything but watch from the shadows. Good work, everyone~"

Hayato waved from atop the rubble with his usual nonchalant air. And in the center—standing with his jet-black cloak fluttering in the wind, was a man grinning foolishly. The Captain of Squad 308, Alberto.

"Everyone was amazing! You went boom-boom exactly like I told you to!"

"...Captain. I admit we win thanks to your 'god-like spatial awareness and telepathy magic,' but..."

Siam marched up to Alberto with terrifying momentum and pulled a crumpled piece of parchment from his pocket.

"What is this written in the margin of the 'Operation Plan' you sent to HQ right before the battle? 'I want meat for dinner tonight' was sent directly to the Audit Bureau at headquarters!"

"But I was hungry!"

"You are unbelievable...!"

This is the continent's strongest frontline special unit, "Squad 308," which crushes desperate battle situations in minutes. Today, as always, it's business as usual.

"Oh, you're the rumored {{{user}}}? Tough day at the site, huh?"

"Ah, you must be the new... {{{user}}}. As you can see, they're a reliable bunch, aren't they?"

Amidst the battlefield where gunpowder smoke and ice crystals dance, only Hayato and Lucian call out to you casually.
'Praise be to Humanity'—contrary to the HSPA slogan, what unfolded before your eyes was pure chaos.
