Aleph looked around the repurposed hangar. It has been officially “his” since a month ago. The stalking attempt made by Vill-V made him realize the importance of having his own base.
With the authority of Einstein as the institute director, it was given to him easily.
“I didn’t think it through before…”
Beside the nuclear-powered suit, there y a huge blue greatsword. It emitted cold air around it.
[Nitro Crystal: A greatsword created within a certain anization. Its basis was a syiitrogen crystal mixed with several minerals. Its attacks inflict cold traces.]
It was the reward that Aleph got when he “broke” the record.
“It’s unfamiliar… but some of its parts feel familiar.”
These tradictory thoughts made him flicted when he first analyzed it. The bde has a fir of the sed and third institute bined. Only, there wasn’t any kind of teology present to expin how the nitrogen synthesis was made.
Aleph shook his head. He focused on the nuclear-powered suit. Its bck body filled with silver lines emphasized its sharpness. Several grooves were present all over its body.
“Aire month… Fire MOTH’s teology should’ve been on-par with my past life.”
The plete set of materials were gathered a month ago. Most of its parts were created ihe third institute under no strict records whatsoever. Only the nuclear reactor was made ihis hangar.
Click-!
Swoosh-!
One by ohe nuclear suit oand began to be disassembled by several meical arms. When only the foot portion remained oand, Aleph climbed on the pedestal and wore them.
Slowly, the meical arms started pieg the suit together in his body. Sometimes, they get stuck, though they were easily fixed by the remote in his hand.
Click-!
With the final cli his helmet, it was finished.
“Three minutes… I really o learn how to make it faster.”
A Graphical User Interface started appearing in his sight. A familiar blue-fo was typed out on the ‘s’.
[Interface booting successful.]
[Dete]
[Arsenal]
[Status]
[figuration]
One by ohe ses ihe GUI popped up.
Aleph tried grasping his fist. Small metallioises resounded as he did so. He tested whether the suit affected his movements.
“It’s quite stiff. I expected it to be better. heless, it’s good enough for a fight.”
Aleph gestured his right arm towards the metal sb. It was badly battered with all the previous strength tests he did.
His eyes moved to the [Arsenal] se. The helmet itself tained arag feature to trol the suit itself.
[Guns]
[Artillery]
[Missiles]
[Energy pression Beam]
Several options appeared in his sight. Aleph did not hesitate to choose the [Guns]. After a while, he selected his chosen on.
The suit’s fingers had their ends dispced. It revealed the hidden gun barrels in his hands.
Then…
Bang-!
Bang-!
Bang-!
Bang-!
Bang-!
Five noticeable bullet marks appeared on the poor metal sb. Smoke rose up from his fingers. His feet were also pushed slightly from their inal position.
“The dey is too dangerous. I o e up with an assistant of sorts. There’s also the recoil and its force distributing framework that needs more work.
Just theric sparks exploded from his right arm.
Beep-!
Beep-!
Beep-!
A red warning sign appeared on the GUI. Aleph promptly selected the [Status] se. A three dimensional model of the suit resented. His entire right arm was filled with the color of red.
[Debugging…]
[Debugging plete.]
[Source of Error: RS-01 on Module.]
For now, it seems like his idea ing the nuclear suit to fight would be shelved for a while.

Fifth researstitute.
Their main research dire is the possible iion of honkai geo humans. It resulted in their studies to lean more towards honkai biology.
pared to the modern aura from the third institute, the fifth institute is more akin to a biological b. Its temperature is slightly lower pared to normal. No stored spes were seen by Aleph on his way to Mobius’ b.
It has been a month since he started visiting this pce. He khat most of the spes were stored in trolled areas. On the surface, it looks like a normal researstitute with colder temperatures.
“Sir Aleph. Doctor wao tell you to get ready for another experiment.”
“A live one? Alright.”
The green-haired girl in front of him was Mobius’ sole assistant, Klein. She was only 150cm tall, 15 timeters shorter than Aleph. When they met for the first time, he seriously doubted whether Mobius’ shady deeds were true. Klein’s height was easily mistaken as a child’s.
Later on, he found out that Klein was her bonafide assistant—someoh a doctorate in the field of biology.
“Ah, yes. I left the treats in the lounge. You share it with others if you want.”
“Thank you, Sir Aleph.”
The green-haired girl opehe door for him. It revealed a dim room filled with notes and other b apparatuses.
In one of the desks, Aleph saw Mobius having her lunch. The tter promptly looked back at him after finishing her cup of ramen in one go.
“You’re just in time.”
“It’s the same thing again.”
Aleph pointed out her lunch. He had seen Mobius’ horrendous eating habits during his first day. The budget cut affected the teen of their fifth institute, hehey could o outside food from outside.
For some reason, Mobius viewed eating outside as a waste of time. The same went for any kind of outside food. She would rather save up for her research funds instead of eating well.
Aleph felt it was inappropriate to point it out before. Now that they had been w for a month, he decided to step up.
“What of it?”
“Here.”
He pced the pstic bag filled with several lunch boxes.
“These should be enough for a day. Miss Klein, I’ll give you one of my credit cards. It has a fixed credit limit, but it should be enough to order for aire month.”
As he let out a series of words, the two women ihe room fell silent.

A/N: Welp, here's the debt chapter from yesterday. I couldn't write yesterday, so now it is.
