Tatsuya deletion, Mahouka Vol 18

He dismantled the high-powered rifle into its basic components and forcibly stripped the sniper of his equipment, body armour included.
If it had been a Japanese soldier, Tatsuya would've deleted him, destroying all evidence and leaving no body behind. But this American soldier was completely outside his expectations, and he couldn't decide how to deal with him.
Deleting him--bad idea, Tatsuya concluded upon neutralizing him. He was engaged in a clandestine mission himself, after all.
