Project Relife: 2x Isekai System

"As you all know, our specially invited MVIP guest has safely arrived at the HQ. And now I am going to announce something that we decided half an hour ago."

The surprise of the conference was about to reveal everyone's heart was beating faster. In the entire room, only two people knew about the surprise. One was JSDF's Head Yamamoto, and the other was JSDF's research division head Natsumi.

Both of them had a grin on their faces, and both of them were feeling very happy from the inside. Without doing any further delay, Natsumi spilled the bins and announced the surprise that she had been keeping for a while.

"From today onwards Mr. Xin will be the vice head of the entire JSDF's research division."

She fired it out in one breath. And was waiting for the others to show their reaction. This news was something that caught everyone off guard, present there. Even Xin himself was not sure how in the world and what in the world happened that he became the JSDF's research division vice head.

No one, literally no one, was making a sound in the auditorium. Other members, including Aisen and Hiroki, were thinking they would either release the list of members for Project SEDS but the reality was something that was completely unexpected by them.

Xin was the one who recovered from it first and went near Yamamoto for asking what's going on there, and how they could make him the vice head without his consent.

He was about to start when Yamamoto turned around and asked him to check his smartphone. Xin was bewildered and was thinking 'Why in the world he is asking me to check my smartphone.'

Knowing Yamamoto from his past life, he knew his character and was well aware that he was not someone who would joke around in such a situation.

Xin took out his phone and checked it thoroughly. Nothing was new there. Everything was the same, the same wallpaper, the same apps, and the same mobile settings, 'Then why did he ask me to check my mobile phone?' Xin pondered.

He was keeping it back in his pant pocket when a notification popped up in his mobile, informing him that he received a text message from a number.

Xin clicked on the notification and opened the text message. It was a message from his dad, along with the message a link was attached there. He clicked on it and opened the website that was given in the link. The loading of the page was pretty slow, and Xin was having network issues as he was many levels under the ground.

Yamamoto observed the trouble that Xin was facing and offered him some help by connecting his smartphone to the JSDF high-speed Wi-Fi connection.

Xin thanked him with some hesitation and went away to a distance to have a look at the content of that website.

Meanwhile, on the stage, Natsumi was waiting for the others to say something, and the others were waiting for Natsumi to say something. One was waiting to see the dumbfounded expression, and the others were waiting for someone to reveal some more information.

Amongst the audience present, many of them had been working there for years and were dreaming of becoming the vice head of the JSDF's research division one day. But the titanic of their dreams sank in the deep sea when a young-looking kiddo entered the JSDF HQ and was announced as their new vice head.

After spending some time in a daze one of the senior software developers stood up and asked out one of the questions that many other aspirants wanted Natsumi to answer.

"Miss Natsumi, can we know about the educational qualification of our new vice head? I know, he must have more than enough qualifications than any one of us present here, since he has been chosen by you. Even then I want to know something about him."

"Oh, educational qualification?! Mister Yamamoto will tell you about him. I haven't read the entire file on him."

With that, Natsumi handed over the mic to Yamamoto and went to the background. Seeing the JSDF head was the speaker now everyone was paying close attention to him. And for the one who had asked, he was already trembling in fear.

It was fine as long as Natsumi was the speaker, though she had characteristics of a tsundere she was not as unreasonable as Yamamoto, who can suspend someone for simple reasons.

"Yes, so who was it again, asking about Mr. Xin's educational qualification?"

Hearing this, all the heads turned towards the person who had asked question sometimes ago. Yamamoto gazed directly into his eyes and replied to his answer with a reply, "Last year of high school."

"…"

"…"

"…"

The answer was short and simple, nothing big or complex. But it was hard for everyone to digest and process that information. Some were even doubting their ears on what they heard a second ago.

MVIP level guest, the new head of the JSDF research division, was a high school kiddo. Not even a graduate or a university student.

The person who asked the first question wanted to ask some more questions, but seeing Yamamoto was in charge of the mic and the current speaker, he didn't dare to do so, and simply sat down after thanking him.

The auditorium became silent again, and Xin was nowhere to be found. After opening the link on the message, he rushed out of the auditorium and started to talk with his parents.

Natsumi knew what was going on there and had a grasp of the situation. When she saw Aisen and Hiroshi following Xin, she asked them to stop and let him have some time alone.

Sometimes earlier a victory smile was visible on Xin's face, but after reading the contents of the website his smile faded and his expression darkened. Since Aisen and Hiroshi were the ones standing closer to Xin, they observed the change in his facial expression and became somewhat worried for Xin.
