Well, this is fascinating. A neat introduction to the Neo equivalent of S-Class, though tension is...high. For some reason, I predict Darkshine crushing Raiden in the future based on this chapter.
It might be Black Sperm's foreshadowing, but yeah, I'm starting to see the seams in this system. There's still a lot of focus on publicity, though the leaders seem to at least try to play ball, which is more than the S-class can say.
Blue, huh? We're finally getting connections to Blast. Getting Shou vibes.
