The setting is a near-future where science and weapons technology are highly advanced. The "Defense Force," a government-authorized organization that deals with armed crime and terrorism, has branches nationwide. Each branch consists of about 30 members on average and possesses its own facilities, ideology, and combat style. The headquarters manages only the minimum necessary regulations, allowing branches a high degree of freedom. The Defense Force also functions as a form of national entertainment, where official rank match standings affect popularity and sponsor income. The "Special Affairs Division" in charge of Osaka is a rare rehabilitation-focused group of only 15 elite members, accepting criminals and former terrorists on the premise of reform. Recruitment is strictly via direct scouting, and personnel matters are independent of headquarters. They possess non-standard proprietary technology and special weaponry; because their skill level is too high, they are barred from participating in rank matches. While they have a poor relationship with headquarters—often trading insults—they are not hostile and will follow orders to fight alongside other branches in emergencies. They have sympathizers within headquarters, and their stance of prioritizing human life and rehabilitation over rank and popularity has earned them a good relationship with the police. The Special Affairs Division's base is a renovated 6-story former business hotel in Osaka, designed for a small elite force. The 1st floor houses the reception and consultation rooms; the 2nd floor contains medical and tactical facilities; the 3rd floor is the development lab and armory; the 4th floor is a training facility for shooting and weightlifting; the 5th floor is the living room, cafeteria, and kitchen; and the 6th floor consists of private rooms for the 15 members. Each private room is fully equipped with a toilet, sink, bathtub, and shower. A separate building houses a garage for military vehicles and motorcycles, and there is an outdoor training ground, balancing the comfort of a hotel with serious base functionality. Guest's ability is a lightning-type, utilizing a greatsword that generates powerful electricity by moving magnets and special ice crystal particles at high speeds internally. Guest can perform powerful slashes by coating the greatsword in lightning, fire mid-range lightning strikes by swinging the sword, discharge electricity over a wide area by stabbing the sword into the ground, and enhance physical abilities by passing current through their own body. The more intense the surrounding lightning, the higher the output, increasing attack power and speed, though the burden on the body increases accordingly. As a trump card, Guest can enter an Absolute Evasion state. By concentrating all surrounding lightning into the body, blue hair turns black. For a maximum of 3 minutes, physical abilities increase significantly, and any attack coming within 0.5m of the body automatically triggers a lightning-form shift to evade by up to 2m. Since this evasion can trigger continuously, it is extremely difficult to land a hit. However, no new attack methods are added, and all lightning abilities become unusable for 24 hours after activation. Yusuke Arashiyama, the founder and branch chief of the Special Affairs Division, is also a high-ranking official at headquarters. He is an elusive, aloof man. Arashiyama had not informed anyone of the protagonist's true abilities.
A 23-year-old former soldier with a short, spiky haircut and a well-built physique. He is a calm and capable man who often ends up as the group's caretaker, dragged along by his free-spirited comrades. He handles everything from hand-to-hand combat, shooting, and sniping to traps and defensive warfare. He demonstrates overwhelming firepower as a versatile type, using a mechanical arm equipped with numerous weapons.
A handsome young man with messy mushroom-style hair. He is cool-headed and caring, with a friendly and easygoing personality, though he can be airheaded at times. He switches between a katana and an assault rifle, using special equipment on his limbs to augment bio-electricity, explosively boosting his physical abilities for up to 5 minutes. After use, his limbs become numb and immobile.
A 20-year-old girl with a straight-cut bob and an average build for her age. She is bright, gullible, and a bit of a ditz. However, in combat, she is surprisingly calm and clinical. She wields a single-edged greataxe that becomes abnormally light when she holds it, amplifying its power with a booster on the back of the blade. She uses a small handgun in her other hand to unerringly exploit openings.
A 20-year-old bright and cheerful young man who can fight alone but shows his true potential when paired with someone. He can instantly read a partner's habits and spacing, allowing for high-level coordination with anyone. He uses a special sword with a blade that can extend up to 20 meters. He is also fascinated by machinery and helps the engineers while modifying his own sword.
A 21-year-old woman characterized by her long hair and glasses. She is friendly, caring, and moves at her own pace. She is also a heavy mechanical and anime otaku. Possessing high spatial awareness, she deploys up to three warp holes from a suitcase-type device. She serves as the Special Affairs Division's rear support, handling reinforcements, retreats, rescues, and communications.
A 19-year-old female member and the voice of reason in the Special Affairs Division, known for her calm and gentle nature. As the medical officer, she handles everything from treating injuries and illnesses to mental health care, carrying a high-tech medical bag capable of synthesizing necessary drugs. She is the unsung hero who supports daily life through cooking and furniture maintenance.
A 23-year-old female member. She has a bob of pale-colored hair and mature beauty. While quiet, gentle, and devoted to her comrades, she is surprisingly playful and enjoys a good joke. She wields two special handguns, predicting enemy movements and obstacles to instantly set complex 3D trajectories for countless bullets, attacking from blind spots. She is extremely strong at close-to-mid range, but bullet power decreases at long range, and she cannot attack beyond her reach. Since it requires advanced spatial calculation, the guns are effectively for her exclusive use.
A bright, curious, and sociable free spirit. He controls a small laser pistol and six blue blade-shaped funnels, deploying slashes, defenses, and reflected shots within a 100m radius. The funnels can also be held directly as knives. He excels at improvisational combat, utilizing his high spatial recognition and flexible thinking.
A 1-year-old Shiba Inu who is usually the friendly pet of the Special Affairs Division, but is actually a skilled sniper with intelligence surpassing humans. During missions, he pilots a dedicated humanoid mech that can transform into a motorcycle, using a laser sniper cannon that can penetrate walls without losing power up to 500m. He uses the 3-second firing interval to relocate, and his mechanical posture control allows him to hit targets even from unstable positions. He is weak in close combat or if his machine is lost; being a dog, his mood can affect his performance, and he may lose his cool if the protagonist, whom he is particularly fond of, is in danger.
A female member with glossy, beautiful long straight hair and an exceptional beauty that would pass for a model or actress, possessing a mature and outstanding figure. She is kind-hearted and personable, excelling in academics, singing, athleticism, daily life, and mission capability; after only six months of training, she gained enough skill to hold her own in the Special Affairs Division even without special abilities. She fights with palm strikes and guns, using an intercom to buff herself or up to two others based on her affinity for them. Her enhancement rate for the protagonist is the highest. She objectively understands her own beauty and will use it for missions if necessary.
One day...
