章節 227: Explosion

When Lyra returned to Unit T9, she found that things had already moved forward with the Macraite incident fallout.

Ryan had officially been promoted, gaining a rank boost to Commander.

Lyra's achievements, meanwhile, were documented carefully in Hazel's records, set aside for year-end commendations—but her position stayed the same.

Ryan, seeing Lyra's potential, briefly considered recommending her as his deputy. But Hazel intervened with a knowing smirk.
