By then, Shinra felt like he was trained as a Spartan, the legendary warrior of Greek mythology. If he were deformed or weak, then he would be thrown away to Mount Taygetos, but fortunately, he was strong, and naturally, his will, too.
Whether it was close combat, long-range combat, knowledge, management, or everything.
Isao crammed everything in, forcing him to learn all of it, without even a hint of kindness or sympathy.
Yet, Shinra didn't complain and just accepted all of his tasks calmly since the improvement that he received was real, and Isao even gave him the blueprint of many secrets that he wanted to get, which showed that Isao wasn't bad.
"Why did you go to Japan? With your ability, you can search for a better country, right?"
Still, Isao couldn't help but ask this question to Shinra, especially when Shinra was really that talented, and was born in Southeast Asia, and studied in Singapore.
With Shinra's talent, no matter which country Shinra wished to go to, he would have a chance to be in a high position within the organization, especially when every country needed a strong soldier.
After all, it wasn't just Japan that was attacked by a Kaiju.
So, what should Shinra say at this moment?
"I believe that this country needs me the most."
Frankly, Shinra came to this world by accident since it was impossible to determine where he would go in the new world, as it was random. It might be a dangerous place where he would die immediately, or like this world, where he had time to gain his power.
Still, it was impossible for him to say that answer, right?
So, he casually made a statement by saying that the frequency of the Kaiju in this country was high, but it lacked a powerful soldier, an ultimate power that could defend this country from the crisis.
If it were in another world, what this country needed the most was the symbol of peace.
Someone who could make everyone believe and have confidence in the future of this country, like a hero who would fight against the demon king that brought terror to the world.
Isao was such a person, and he was a hero in the eyes of many, and this was why he had become someone with the highest position in the organization. However, unfortunately, he had grown older, and he also grew weaker as he wasn't as strong as he used to be in his youth.
Isao needed someone who could inherit his mantle, and fortunately, he met one.
Someone who could protect and accompany his daughter, too.
"Good." Isao nodded and liked Shinra's answer since Shinra wasn't as naive, and also had a certain greed, and he could see that Shinra loved his daughter sincerely, still, before that.
"Tomorrow, let's get you a new weapon."
"New weapon?"
After being under Isao's tutelage, Shinra had been training in many weapons, and also learned the ins and outs of everything, including the customized weapon, which was a special weapon that was given to a special soldier.
So, would Isao give him such a weapon?
"Number Weapon 6. Try to wield it tomorrow."
"..."
It seemed Isao had a higher expectation of him than he had thought to be.
Number weapon.
This was a special weapon that was created from the strongest type of Kaiju, the Identified Kaiju; an extremely powerful Kaiju with a fortitude level of 9.0 or higher is usually given a codename.
Among all of them, the Number Weapon 6 was created from the Kaiju No. 6; a Kaiju that appeared ten years ago that brought the death of 200 Defense Force officers and three captains, with Second Division Captain Hikari Shinomiya being the most notable victim, which earned it the title of the King of Kaiju and the Symbol of Despair.
Fortunately, this Kaiju had died and was transformed into a weapon that could be used to protect the people of this country.
However, unfortunately, due to its power and tyranny, even after it had been converted into a weapon ten years ago, no soldiers could wield it.
Naturally, Shinra also knew about this weapon and read the data of those Number Weapons, including their unique abilities that would be given to those who became the users of those weapons.
Isao Shinomiya, his teacher in the Defense Force, was also a user of the Number Weapon, and wielded the Number Weapon 2 that gave him the power to generate a powerful blast, a sonic attack, and a shield-like barrier force.
Shinra had often sparred with Isao as he was taught the martial arts that Isao mastered, but as Isao couldn't find the advantage of fighting against him in pure martial arts, he often cheated by using the power of his weapon, the Number Weapon 2.
Shinra had seen how powerful the Number Weapon was, so how could he not have an interest in it?
"What's wrong? Do you not have the confidence to wield that power?" Isao asked with a hint of provocation as Shinra was silent after that announcement.
"No, I just thought that you would give me a customized weapon instead."
Isao had asked him before what kind of weapon Shinra was the best at, and naturally, he answered that he was the best at using a kukri.
This choice of a weapon might be weird, but as he had gained the mastery of a kukri from Sarquiss in the world of One Piece, naturally, he was the best at using a kukri. More importantly, this weapon suited his identity well as he graduated from the National Neuralization University of Singapore.
Why does it suit his identity?
It was because many of the soldiers of Singapore came from the Gurkha, the legendary mercenary army that was often hired by the British Empire to conquer.
As Shinra came from Singapore, it wasn't unusual for him to learn from the Gurkhas. Additionally, the Gurkha's specialty and main weapon was a kukri, which suited his identity.
Probably, with his identity and the place where he was working, he should say that he should get a katana, but he wasn't that good with a katana, and just because it was the most famous blade in the world, it didn't mean that it was the most suitable for him.
Moreover, a kukri was a nice weapon as it could easily chop his opponent.
"Don't worry. I will get your customized weapon, but you should also try to use this Number Weapon 6."
For Isao, using his authority to get what Shinra wished for was nothing, especially when he thought of Shinra as his son-in-law already.
"I will." Shinra made a military salute and prepared to leave, resting as he was about to have a test tomorrow.
Only when he turned, Isao stared at him with a complicated mood before letting out a helpless sigh, then continued to work, so he would not be distracted by the love between two young people.
As for why Isao showed such an expression, it was because when Shinra returned to his private room, someone knocked on the door of his room, and when he opened it, he saw the lovely twin-tailed girl, who looked at him with a playful smile and asked, "Did I interrupt your rest, Officer Uchiha?"
"....." Shinra.
Still, when he was in front of him, Kikoru quickly clung to him and inhaled his scent that was mixed with his sweat, which strangely made her addicted.
"I miss you."
Her voice was a little low, so Shinra also embraced her and closed the door quietly.
