Just as he stepped out the door, beams from searchlights shone from building windows, rooftops, and between the trees.
Li Ang first shielded his eyes, blocking the intense light, then simply had the Elemental Material transform into sunglasses and settle on the bridge of his nose.
The sunglasses dimmed the glare, allowing him to clearly see his surroundings.
Over a dozen transport armored vehicles were parked on the open grounds of the university campus. A large number of Self-Defense Force soldiers surrounded the building from all directions, using flower beds, doorways, and building corners as cover, aiming their guns at the door.
The searchlights were independently powered, meaning he couldn't cut the power as he had in the hallway to neutralize the enemy's reconnaissance capabilities.
Li Ang observed them, and they observed him.
