Ilay had been continuously carrying out missions. There were times when he took on assignments back-to-back without returning. It wasn’t the method recommended by the training center, but it was actually closer to real combat.
‘In real combat, you can’t always maintain your best condition.’
It was common to fight battle after battle while already battered and worn. That was why military combat prosthetics valued durability just as much as high output. No matter how powerful they were, if they lacked durability and reliability, they were useless in actual combat.
Ilay proudly showed me the greatest trophy he had obtained from his various missions.
