Chapter 114 - 111: The One-Eyed Owl?
"I didn't expect Kanzaki to be a shooting genius. That shot just now took out the enemy sniper team's leader in one clean hit."
The tide had shifted. Special Class Investigator Marude Itsuki's mood visibly improved. Watching Kanzaki Ryoma fire repeatedly from the high point of Building 1, Marude couldn't help but comment to Special Class Investigator Ui Koori.
