Chapter 24: Only Desperate Efforts

On the second day, early in the morning, there was a commotion on the training grounds, with a group of Radiations brawling.

Their intense fighting was so noisy that all the newcomers were roused from sleep.

Everyone gathered at the railing, entranced as they watched the black-handed ones train outside.

By almost noon, the group finally stopped, and then a large batch of Japanese came inside.

Leading them was Tanabu, with Rousi also present, along with several others I didn't recognize who also seemed to be in leadership roles.

Just by looking at their appearance, you could tell—clothing, weapons, everything was very distinctive.

One of them even had an ape on a leash.

The ape was incredibly strong, no less formidable than a gorilla, with glossy black fur and lively eyes.

But around its neck was a metal collar connected to a heavy chain.

The Japanese man leading the ape wore a black leather jacket and had six scars on his face, as if they were made by some kind of claw.
