Chapter 23 Practical Testing
"Klos, listen to your voice and still work, have you eaten well and rested?"
"Don't use busyness as an excuse, or I'll be distressed. As the head of a country, you should delegate power when it is time to do so, and learn from our Majesty Yukent. ”
"Well, you really know me, our student council president is as desperate as you, and I told her before I knew it."
"It's true that you said it again, don't call me like a hungry pervert."
"Ah, I'm angry, you wait, I'll go to you when I'm free. The tiger is not powerful, you are my sick cat. ”
"Good night, my Highness Princess."

Three days later, on the day of the practical test, the playground of the Military Academy.
The so-called practical skills test is slightly different from what Li and others envisioned, and it is not just a test of combat ability, but also to see if the students can take appropriate actions according to the situation. Therefore, if you don't pay attention to skill, you can't get a high score just by defeating your opponent in a short period of time.
In this regard, Li En said, isn't it just to release water, no problem, it is very troublesome to go all out, and the water is the highest. Then he, Elliot, and Gaius's good friends were dragged out for display.
The opponent is a strange puppet "Tactical Hub" obtained from an unknown source, the material is different from the Joshua puppet and automatics weapon encountered before, and it looks a little similar to a ceramic shell. T-shaped shape, no edges and corners, at first glance it looks ordinary, but as soon as you get started, you can find that it is extraordinary.
Slightly smaller than a human in size, it has the ability to maneuver at high speeds, and each end of the T-shaped body can attack, with medium-range lasers, close-range tail volleys, and simple and rough attacks with flexible switching, which is a headache.
If you can let go of your hands and feet, Li En can block the enemy's retreat with one sword fire crow, and the second sword flame lion can directly overturn it without any trouble at all. But this is a direct use of force to crush the opponent, and it does not help the evaluation in any way.
Besides, Selesty, a tech nerd, wouldn't allow Ryan to be as violent as he was last time.
So Li En had to honestly tie his hands and feet, not use his true qi, and accompany "Tactical Hub" slowly, while exercising control, while familiarizing himself with "Tactical Link".
I have to say that this is really an epoch-making invention, and you can freely master each other's pace without distraction, so as to cooperate with each other.
Originally, Elliot had no actual combat experience, so his cooperation was not so smooth. After experiencing the special training in the old school building, his eyesight and adaptability have been greatly improved, and the support position has become more and more comfortable, not to mention, he has successfully found a gap in the movement, released the "Frost Ice Blade", and successfully retarded the target's action.
After that, it's simple, slashing and stabbing guns, if it weren't for Instructor Sarah shouting to stop in time, the two of them would be able to dismantle the puppet they had never seen before, and the actual skill test was successfully completed, and the evaluation was also quite good.
In contrast, the results of the other two groups were not so satisfactory. Laura entered the battle because of her weight, and her lack of mobility was unable to fully keep up with the pace of "Tactics Hub", and Emma and Alyssa, who were on the same team, hid their strength, and the latter lacked actual combat experience, and finally passed the risk.
The group is even more unbearable, Fei and the boy lack communication, and the other two don't deal with each other, not to mention "Tactical Link", it's good not to make trouble for each other, and in the end, it was only by virtue of Fei's outstanding physical ability that he was able to pass the whole process.
"Well, Lane, Elliot, and Gaius are doing a good job, and the actual combat experience under the old school building still has some effect." At the end of the test, Instructor Sarah summed up while scoring the nine people, "Well, although there are also teams that are in a hard battle, the final result is okay." ”
At the moment, the only ones who can stay on their feet are Lane and Laura, and the others are sitting or lying on their stomachs, panting for breath. Fei can actually stand, but the training of the hunters she has been exposed to since she was a child has allowed her to develop a good habit of storing her physical strength anytime and anywhere, and to recover from a sitting posture that can get up at any time.
"Alright, that's the end of the actual test, and now there are some important things to convey to you." When her strength had recovered, Sarah revealed the next topic, "A special training course that is only available in your Class VII. ”
"Hehe, sure enough, everyone cares about it." Looking at the expressions of her classmates, Sarah chuckled lightly, took out a stack of prepared materials and distributed them, "The special training course you will face is the Special Internship. You will be divided into two groups and travel to different places, during which you will need to complete specific tasks. ”
Nine documents in duplicate, entitled - April Special Internship.
Group A: Lane, Alyssa, Laura, Elliot. Internship location: Trading City Keldik.
Group B: Emma, Macchias, Jusis, Fey, Gaius. Placement: Palm, a textile town.
"Oh, that's quite an interesting grouping." Rien and Laura looked at each other and smiled, and this tacit expression caused the other students to roll their eyes.
(Here's what Emma and Alyssa whispered:
"Ah, here we go again, both of them."
"Yes, yes, it's almost a daily routine, what is the relationship? Suspicious, very suspicious"
"I don't know, uh, it's also a daily routine for the two of you."
"Well, it's time for them to get started, so maybe they really get along." )
"Place, place, let's not talk about it, the members of Group B," Macchias protested, as everyone expected, perhaps because his strength had not yet recovered, but his voice was not so loud.
"Totally unreasonable." Jussi's reaction was the same.
Unfortunately, Sarah completely ignored their protests and continued to assign tasks:
"It's this weekend, and the internship lasts about two days. Group A and Group B each used the railway to get to the internship site. Everyone, get ready until then, recharge your batteries! ”
"Don't, don't ignore me!"
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The trading city of Keldik, a Group A training site, is located in the center of the vast barn strip of the empire, belonging to the state of Kruchen, and is a predominantly commercial trading town, where trade goods are transported to the whole country by the transportation stations of the Continental Transverse Railway.
There is no prosperity of the Crimson Imperial Capital, there is no luxury of the Emerald Princess, and the houses are even older than Tolista, but all this does not affect the liveliness here. Travelers, merchants, aristocrats, and all sorts of people come and go, making the town vibrant.
The group left the crowded station, followed the map, and went to the designated hotel.
In the corner of the square in front of the station, a young man in a white dress with elegant demeanor silently watched all this, and his handsome face showed a look of surprise.
"Princess's knight, I didn't expect to see you here. Hmm, it seems that with a group of interesting chicks, this is also a goddess, no, the guidance of "Alliance Leader", forget it, let's go, next time I am exploring the secrets of you. (With Lane and Laura there, Sarah was relieved and went straight to Group B.) )
In the second floor of the hotel, a girl's sorrowful cry spread throughout the hotel.
"Eh, eh, eh! How is it to have 4 people in the same room! ”
"Well, I don't think it's good, either, but Sarah strongly assures me that it doesn't matter, I'm at least going to split into two and two together." Margot, the innkeeper, explains that Instructor Sarah is a regular customer and an old friend of hers.
"Why, how is this," Alyssa withered.
"We don't care, but girls don't." Elliot really thinks about people.
"Alyssa, you should still be patient at this time." Laura persuaded, "You are also a student of the Military Academy, have you forgotten about this?" Besides, the military is a world where men and women eat and sleep together, so you have to get used to something as trivial as living in the same room. ”
"Woo I know, I know." Alyssa said as if resigned, and then she slashed at the two boys with sharp eyes, "-You two, if you have any shameless behavior, I won't spare you?" ”
"Ahaha, I won't." Elliot's innocent smile makes people feel very healing.
"What do you mean by misdeeds?" Lane pretended to be puzzled.
"Lai, Eun, Tong, Xue~" Alyssa narrowed her beautiful eyes.
"I was wrong." This kind of coercion similar to his sister made him surrender decisively.
Laura looked at Alyssa who was pressing forward step by step and Dawn who was enjoying herself, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
It's good that Rien is still the same as before.
(Converted to LINK level, Laura and Rien are LV5, Yaniras and Kolos are LV6, sister is LV.7, and Lixia and Rien are directly off the table.) )
