You’re letting me join the elite squad!?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
You’re not joining the elite squad,
You’re joining the elite squad qualification exam.
.
.
.

Qualification exam?
.
.

.

PUS Investigator
Squad A Member
Michele Lee
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This is Painting Utopia’s newly formed elite fighting squad. They recruit not only from PUS, but from all over Strinova.
Only the best of the best will be able to pass the examination.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So if you’re saying this is such an elite team…
...then why are you letting a newbie like me go?
.
.
.
.
.
Michele,
you have goals you want to achieve, right?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
That opportunity has clearly not arrived yet.
And all the while your father, formerly famous investigator George Lee, suffers from Collapse Syndrome.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
If you can pass the exam, thereby joining the elite squad,
you’ll then be able to expand your network, and also participate in high-risk confidential missions.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
It may even be possible to find the reason behind your father’s early-onset condition…

This world is composed of “strings.”
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Based on this string theory, humans have developed a way to turn consciousness into strings and load it onto a carrier composed of sequence nodes, thus achieving immortality.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Nowadays, most of Earth's people have moved their consciousness to these sequence nodes dubbed the “String Energy Network,” migrating to Strinova’s multi-dimensional space.

By literal definition, this is a utopia. We are Strinovans.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

We can't starve, nor get old,
and can do whatever we like in this world.

Don’t worry about it, that was just a training match.
Your “serious mode” just now was really cool!

R-really?

however…
