Two hours ter.

  "Phew…"

  Kaminari let out a long breath, finally leaning ba his chair after finishing his expnation.

  " I get some water?" he asked, clearly parched.

  "Also," he tinued, "I'd suggest implementing the funs and modes we just discussed in batches. There's only a month left until the final exams. I don't know what they'll entail, but there's bound to be some practical training involved."

  He g Momo before addressing her father. "So, I think it'd be best to prioritize the main, core funalities first. That way, Momo test them during the exams."

  Yaoyorozu Manshi houghtfully, then turo the young man in the formal suit. "Did you hear that? Do as Kaminari suggested."

  "Yes, head of the family," the young man responded with a respectful bow. Afterward, he o both Kaminari and Momo before heading toward the door.

  "Hey! Don't fet my water!" Kaminari called after him.

  "Got it. Just a moment."

  The feren door closed with a soft thud.

  Kaminari turo Momo, curiosity gleaming in his eyes. "By the way, I noticed he called your dad the 'head of the family.' Is he part of the Yaoyorozu family too?"

  Momo nodded. "Yes, he's from a colteral branch of the family. Holy, I don't even know his name."

  Kaminari chuckled. "Well, I 't say I'm particurly ied in his her."

  At that moment, Manshi addressed Kaminari with a solemn tone. "Kaminari, I want to thank you for your help today. If there's ever anything you need, and it's within our family's power, we'll make it happen."

  Kaminari immediately realized there was more to this than simple gratitude. The Yaoyorozu family wasn't just being polite. They'd likely done a full analysis of him long before today, just like Mitsui Buntais had. This was an iment, an effort to cultivate a stroionship with him.

  Of course, Kaminari uood this. her the Yaoyorozu family nor the Mitsui family would ever put all their resources into just one person. But due to his unique circumstances and the personal es he'd built, it was clear he was someohey both valued.

  Kaminari wasn't bothered by this. In fact, he weled it. In a world like this, no one could thrive alone. es and alliances were essential.

  "Thank you, uncle," Kaminari replied with a warm smile, accepting Manshi's goodwill.

  After a brief pause, Kaminari spoke again. "There's something I've been w about, though. I hope you clear it up for me."

  "Go ahead," Manshi said with an encing nod.

  "It's about SIS. On the way here, Momo mentiohat the three major tries have been spending heavily on acquiring SIS for decades. That's why its price is so astronomical, right? It's also why I ended up getting targeted back then," Kaminari said, his tone serious. "So, I'm curious, what exactly are these tries doing with SIS?"

  Manshi hesitated, his expression flicted. This wasn't information that was typically shared with outsiders. However, as he looked at Kaminari, the boy who already had a full set of SIS-built equipment, he decided it wouldn't hurt to reveal a little.

  "Alright," Manshi said after a moment of thought. "I'll show you a video. You'll uand after watg it. Ebisu."

  The virtual ails on the fereable vanished, repced by a high-definition 3D proje.

  The se depicted a sleek bck fighter jet s through the clear blue sky. Below, the ground was engulfed in oke, fire, aru stretched as far as the eye could see. It was unmistakably a battlefield, and judging by the scale, it was a massive one.

  "This is…" Kaminari's eyes widened in surprise.

  "This is Kolkata, India," Manshi expined, his voice grim. "What you're seeing is a flict between the Indian National Army and the Meta Liberation Army. That fighter jet? It's a reinfort sent by the US."

  "The Meta Liberation Army?" Kaminari repeated, fused. The name was unfamiliar, as was the idea of a single fighter jet bei as reinforts. "What difference could one fighter jet possibly make?"

  Manshi smiled knowingly. "Keep watg. You'll see why this particur fighter jet is so extraordinary."

  Kaminari turned his attention back to the proje, watg more closely this time.

  The se shifted to reveal the two opposing forces. On one side was the Indian National Army, a modern military force equipped with tanks, armored vehicles, and standard-issue firearms.

  Oher side was the Meta Liberation Army, a ragtag group of individuals with mismatched clothing and minimal onry. However, what they cked in ventional equipment, they made up for with extraordinary Quirks.

  Kaminari watched as members of the Liberation Army used their Quirks to decimate tanks and vehicles with ease. Despite their ck of formal training, they were overwhelming the regur military forces.

  "The emergence of Quirks was like a nuclear bomb," Manshi expined. "It shattered India's deeply entrenched caste system. Vaishyas, Shudras, and even sves who awakened powerful Quirks began to rebel against the Brahmins and Kshatriyas.

  "At first, the Indian gover was able to suppress them. But then, the Meta Liberation Army appeared. They absorbed these rebels, traihem, and ahem into a formidable force.

  "By the time the world realized what was happening, it was too te. The Liberation Army had established a stronghold in India, and their influence began spreading to neighb regions."

  "So that's why US got involved?" Kaminari asked, his tone calm despite the heavy expnation.

  "Exactly. The Uates gover decided to send reinforts to taihreat."

  "But what does this have to do with SIS?" Kaminari pressed.

  Manshi gestured to the proje. "That fighter jet you're watg, it's made entirely of SIS."

  "What?!" Kaminari excimed, stunned. "Aire fighter jet made of SIS?"

  In the video, the jet suddenly dipped into a sharp dive, heading straight for the Liberation Army's forces on the ground.

  "Wait, what's it doing? That's a suicide dive!" Kaminari shouted in arm.

  But just as he said this, the jet began to disassemble mid-air. Pieces of its frame shifted and refigured, transf at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within seds, a t bck robot, about teers tall, nded otlefield with ah-shaking crash.

  The robot, now equipped with a glowing energy shield, immediately began attag the Liberation Army with a variety of advanced onry.

  "Transformers?!" Kaminari blurted out, pletely dumbfounded. "No… wait. sidering the situation, it'd be more accurate to call this a 'Sentinel,' right?"
