บท 4: Chapter 4: Integration
The aftermath of the battle left Kazuki feeling both exhilarated and uncertain. As the 8th Brigade members moved efficiently to secure the area, extinguishing remaining flames and aiding the injured, Kazuki found himself standing to the side, still holding his Asauchi. The reality of what had just happened slowly began to sink in—he had fought alongside the Fire Force, wielding powers that, while familiar to him, were still somewhat mysterious.
Captain Obi approached Kazuki, his expression one of curiosity mixed with cautious respect. "You've got some skills," Obi said, crossing his arms as he sized Kazuki up. "But I don't remember seeing you around here before. Who are you, and where did you learn to fight like that?"
Kazuki met Obi's gaze, feeling the weight of his question. The system had provided him with a solid background in this world, including the necessary credentials. Reaching into his pocket, Kazuki pulled out a small card—the identity card the system had provided him, similar to the one he had seen Shinra use in the anime.
"I'm Kazuki," he said, handing the card to Obi. "I'm a Third Generation pyrokinetic. I've been moving around, trying to find where I can be of the most help."
Obi took the card, examining it closely. The details seemed legitimate, and the Brigade captain could see the sincerity in Kazuki's eyes. "A Third Generation, huh? And you've got some interesting abilities for one, especially with that sword."
Kazuki nodded. "I've developed a few techniques over time. The flame-based techniques I use, like that explosive attack, are part of what I've managed to refine. I call it Kongōbaku. It's a focused release of my flames in an explosive form."
Obi studied Kazuki for a moment longer, then nodded, handing back the card. "So you're a wandering pyrokinetic looking to put your abilities to use. I can respect that, but joining up with us isn't something to take lightly. We're a team, and we need to know we can trust you."
Kazuki felt a surge of determination. The system had given him this identity and power for a reason, and he was committed to using them for the greater good. "I understand," he said earnestly. "I want to help however I can. I'm ready to prove myself."
Obi seemed to mull over Kazuki's words before nodding. "All right. We'll need to see what you can do and how you fit in with the rest of the team. But for now, we'll take you back to the station, and you can tell us more about yourself."
Kazuki nodded in agreement and followed Obi as the 8th Brigade regrouped. As they walked through the charred streets, Kazuki couldn't help but feel a growing sense of purpose. The system's integration into this world had given him a fresh start, and now he had a chance to make a difference.
When they arrived at the 8th Brigade's headquarters, Kazuki was struck by how organized and focused everything was. The building stood as a beacon of hope amidst the chaos, its members moving with purpose as they attended to their duties.
Obi led Kazuki to a meeting room, where the other members of the Brigade gathered. Once everyone was seated, Obi turned to Kazuki. "Why don't you tell us a bit more about what you can do?"
Kazuki took a deep breath, knowing this was his chance to establish himself. "As I said, I'm a Third Generation pyrokinetic. My abilities are flame-based, and I've refined them through a mix of combat experience and training. The sword techniques I use are something I've worked on independently."
The Brigade members listened intently, their expressions a mix of curiosity and skepticism. Kazuki continued, "My main offensive technique is Kongōbaku, where I concentrate my flames into an explosive sphere. I've also been working on my speed and agility, something I'm still developing."
Obi nodded, considering Kazuki's words. "You've got a lot of potential, but there's still a lot we don't know about you. We'll need to test your abilities and see how you handle different situations. If you're willing to work with us, we can help you figure out how to use that power of yours effectively."
Kazuki felt a wave of relief. He had been given a chance—a chance to prove himself and to learn how to control the power he had been granted. "I'm ready," he said with determination. "Whatever it takes, I'm ready."
Obi smiled slightly, a rare expression of approval. "Good. We'll start with some training exercises tomorrow. For now, get some rest. You've had a rough day."
As the meeting adjourned and the Brigade members began to disperse, Kazuki felt a sense of belonging. He was still new to this world, but for the first time, he felt like he had a place here—a purpose to pursue.
As he made his way to the room that had been prepared for him, Kazuki felt the system stir once more.

Kazuki smiled to himself as he lay down on the bed, the weight of the day's events finally catching up to him. He knew that the road ahead wouldn't be easy, but with the system guiding him and the support of the 8th Brigade, he was ready to face whatever challenges that came his way.
