"There's actually a force field? Are you even human?" As they watched every bullet stop around Kagetane Hiruko's body, Rentaro and the others stopped attacking in unison, all staring at Kagetane Hiruko in shock. Hibiki stood beside him, boredly poking at the bullets around them with a finger. She was within Kagetane Hiruko's Repulsion Field as well.
"Of course. Though to generate this, I had almost all my internal organs replaced with Varanium machinery. Let me introduce myself again, Satomi. I am Kagetane Hiruko of the former Ground Self-Defense Force Eastern Unit 787 Mechanized Special Forces, the New Humanity Creation Project."
Kagetane Hiruko laid out his entire identity without hesitation.

It had to be said that ending the project was utterly ridiculous. Even after discovering the Cursed Children's power, there were so many Gastrea that the military was still needed
