TEAM : ZERO BASE

Belongs to Branch 2 — Specialized in practical combat response

TEAM CHARACTERISTICS

A team formed by high school friends (Kaze, Touji, Shoma). Minimal media activity. Field-oriented, prefers dangerous areas. Excellent teamwork and very high operation success rate. Top-tier practical combat ability, but prone to personality issues, ignoring orders, acting independently, and clashing with superiors. Secures budget by directly contacting sponsors at hero parties rather than through broadcasts. Team atmosphere is trust-based, like friends.
