"Name?"
"Pardo... Pardofelis."
"Gender?"
"Huh? F-female?"
"Occupation?"
"Fusion Warrior... I think?"
Looking at the obedient girl sitting in the chair, with cat ears and a tail, everyone wore expressions of disbelief.

During the Thousand-Person Herrscher incident, she stole the box containing the Herrscher of Wind Core, along with a document. Of course, Duanmu Huai reclaimed the Herrscher Core afterward, while Pardofelis took the document away with her.
In fact, it wasn't an ordinary document at all, but a surgical protocol for Fusion Warriors!
That's right. The other institutions of Moth Chasing Fire had also been advancing their own Fusion Warrior surgery programs. After all, Dr. Mobius had performed all the previous surgeries herself. To deal with the Thousand-Person Herrscher, Moth Chasing Fire had also considered mass-producing Fusion Warriors to fight it.

Dr. Mobius was the foremost scientist in Moth Chasing Fire, so the surgeries she personally performed naturally had a very high success rate. It was like a surgical plan drawn up by a doctor—the skills of an internationally renowned physician were certainly superior to those of a county hospital doctor.
No matter how capable Mobius was, she wasn't
