After a brief introduction, the Support Division became lively.

In contrast to Theo, Hexu has a cheerful and lively personality, and is very clingy to Theo. And he is not afraid of people, and he can chat with Lloyd and his party very harmoniously......

"Anyway, I'm Horxu Heather, who is joining the Special Mission Support Section today. Ellie, senior, please advise. He Xu stood up straight and introduced herself quite formally, but she didn't look at the four men present with any kind of eyes.

"I hope to have some fun in the Support Section - it would be better if everyone didn't bother Tio-chan." As he spoke, He Xu's gaze suddenly sharpened, sweeping over the four men one by one.

Ahaha, it looks like he's being hostile. Lloyd couldn't laugh or cry, children like to be dominant, I'm afraid they think we're going to take Theo, right?

Uh-huh, it looks like there's an interesting junior! Looks like I'm going to have fun in the future. Randy begins to gloat.

Ahh You unconsciously thought of the little girl he had met when he was still in Liber: a girl named Tida, about the same age as Tiojoxu.

Why am I again...... Joshua glanced faintly at Estelle and saw that she was wrestling fiercely with the cookies, and Joshua sighed and whispered a reminder of etiquette.

Ellie smiled, anyway, this hostility had nothing to do with her, she still liked the little adult-like lotus. Although Theo is also very mature, Tio's maturity is mainly an adult-like, rational thinking, unlike Hexu: the childishness in her speech makes her look very cute.

"Hexu, you're too rude." Tio lightly replicated his companion. He Xu hummed a little disappointed and returned to his seat.

"However, the section chief is really messing around...... Would you agree to ......" Lloyd sighed, was it really good to let such a young child in?

"'Wouldn't it be better to have an extra specialist at home, considering that you will adjust the detractor later?'" Hmph, I'm doing this for your own good'" Tio deliberately lowered her voice, and she could hear that she wanted to imitate the way the section chief spoke, but because the gap in her voice was too large, there was no sense of substitution at all.

Of course, this is only the section chief's words when he talked to Theo with a force guide, whether it was because of the literal words, or because he blackmailed Director Roberts, it is unknown.

"Speaking of which, is Hexu also a researcher at the Epstein Foundation?" Estelle asked suddenly.

"Yes!" He nodded vigorously, staring at Estelle expectantly. Looking at those sparkling eyes, what did Estelle not understand? Hurriedly smiled: "Xiaohe is really amazing!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Seeing this, Tio sighed softly and muttered in a low voice: What a child......

"Today's children are really not to be underestimated." Estelle sighed meaninglessly, like an exclamation for Lotus and Theo, and a sigh for herself.

"Haha, speaking of which, Estelle, you didn't get very good grades when you went to Sunday school." Joshua broke the news. Estelle blushed all of a sudden: "Joshua! ”

"However, since you're a researcher, what are you studying?" You asked with interest.

"This is it!" He Xu proudly lifted the chain that he had been hanging on his chest, an Enigma, and the cover was printed with the pattern of Crossbell's specialty [Missy]. But it's different, it's bigger than the average anigema.

"Enigma II Beta!"

Compared with the beta version of the Enigma II and the same period, the exterior has not changed much, only a circle larger, but the interior can be described as completely different.

First of all, the biggest difference is that the hole in the center is very large, enough to fit four or five loops, while around him, there are only three loop holes, strung together to form a chain of conduct. And there's a weird, exhaust-like thing on the edge, I don't know what it's used for.

According to Hexu, the large hole in the center is used to embed a special circuit called [core circuit], which has a stronger effect than ordinary circuits because of its large size. Not only does it make it easier to combine advanced magic, but it also has wonderful special features.

For example, the [Star Shine] circuit that He Xu is using now that she has developed herself, has assimilation magic attributes, and no matter what attribute magic is used, it can only cause damage without attributes in the end. Although this will not be able to attack the weakness of the Monster's attributes, it will also not be embarrassed that the magic cannot be used because the Monster has a high resistance to the magic in its own power channel.

"Awesome! This circuit is amazing! Yu Tatsumi couldn't help but interrupt Hexu's explanation, and in this way, it simply greatly broadened the scope of magic.

The other four members of the Support Division also nodded in agreement, more or less, they had all been exposed to guiding magic, and they could understand Yu's excitement.

But...... It doesn't seem that the juniors of Yuu Tatsumi think so......

"That...... Brother You, you seem to ...... Magic is rarely used......" Estelle grumbled expressionlessly. Joshua snorted and laughed, and said, "Yes, most of the time it was solved with magic." Although you often direct us to use magic, you rarely use it yourself. ”

Lloyd was stunned, he really didn't react just now. However, although they don't fight side by side much, Yuu Tatsumi really rarely uses magic as a means of attack.

"Well, after all, the 'tactician' has to gallop anywhere on the battlefield, how can he casually stop and drive magic." You explained indifferently, seeing that He Xu's eyes gradually began to become unhappy, You hurriedly said, "Then, is there only this new feature?" ”

Are you angry that I stole the conversation? It's kind of cute. You smiled in her heart. Wait a minute? Will Rui ...... Will there be such a wealth of feelings? Although I can't say it because of autism, I guess it's okay to think about it, right?

After briefly imagining Rui who was broken in his heart, You almost laughed out loud. As a result, Tio's sharp gaze struck Yuya Tatsumi's heart like an ice pick. The black-haired man hurriedly cleared his mind and continued to listen to Hexu's explanation.

Moreover, this beta version of Enigma II also adds a new feature called [S.R.I.E.C.].

By the way, this function and the previous core loop idea were first proposed and adopted by ARCUS. This inspired the development team of Anigema to add these two excellent new features to Anigema in line with the lofty belief that "technology knows no borders".

However, it is not a copy.

Here is an introduction to ARCUS, like Enigma, it also belongs to the fifth generation of tactical power guides, which is a product of cooperation between the Epstein Foundation and the Leonford Society of the Erebonian Empire, with the following features: 1. The use of an advanced core loop system. 2. A new system called [Tactical Link] has been adopted. 3. The effect of the guide chain has been greatly weakened, and each circuit corresponds to a magic. (In other words, ARCUS can only be filled with a few mana, but Enigma can easily match more than twenty manas when it is fully filled.)

This [Tactical Link] system is said to be able to link the hearts and minds of users to each other! Something like electrocardiogram is formed! However, because it is still being tested, it is unclear how effective it will actually be. Of course, the new system also consumes a lot of conductive force. In order to maintain the miniaturization and portability of tactical force guides, ARCUS had to change the traditional magic combination method and adopt a design that corresponds to no more than 3 magic per circuit.

And this system, Enigma II did not use.

One is that Anigema itself is not equipped with this system, and the other is that Anigema uses traditional loops to form a chain of conduction to use magic. Therefore, this new system has been changed to the [Tactical Leader] function.

To put it simply, the Enigma II can be linked to the Enigma within a distance of 2 Cels (about 200 meters) from the surrounding area. Give them [commands], such as using so-and-so magic. It is also possible to make some simple exchanges of information. However, this function is one-way, which is why it is called "leader".

It is precisely because of this new change that more than half of the conduction energy of this Enigma II is used to support this new system, and as a result, Enigma, which was supposed to have 7 conduction holes, turned out to have only 4 conduction holes (including 1 core loop hole) in its sequel...... Does this count as putting the cart before the horse?

"How? This new version? The more He Xu spoke, the more interested he became, and his cheeks became red with excitement, and then he simply stood up, waving his hands in line with her words, and the child's unique innocence made her look very cute.

"That's amazing, this feature." Yuki Tatsumi made no secret of his envy. For him, this feature is simply too useful. If it's a battle with a monster, shouting out what magic to let others use, of course, it's fine. But if it's a battle with a human, it's a fatal wound, and once the name is called, the other party will be alert. If you have this function, you and Tatsumi will be able to arrange tactics without even noticing.

The so-called tactics are to exert the greatest effect without the enemy's knowledge. There are special tactics that can only be used when the other party knows about them, but that's when it's a last resort. If he had a choice, Yu Tatsumi would never choose to let the other party know his tactical layout.

"Hmph, but I won't use it for you." Hoo grimaced at him and handed the beta version of the Enigma II to Theo. "Now, Tio-chan, this is for you! It's definitely better than that kind of big road goods! ”

"Big, big road goods...... several people showed subtle expressions on their faces. I am afraid that the only person who can call the most advanced tactical guide device "big road goods" is this Hexu who is researching a more advanced guide device, and she will not care about the face of other researchers.

"But, isn't this a beta? Just send it out, okay? Ellie was a little strange, in her mind, this beta version of the stuff was supposed to be for the sake of technical secrecy, and only allowed to be held by the tester.

"It's okay. Hexu is not a tester! Compared to fighting, Hexu and I, but I'm a scientific researcher. He Xu said confidently, as if she was very satisfied with her status as a "scientific researcher".

"No need, Hexu." Compared to the chatter of his companions, Theo's attitude was a little too cold. I saw that she maintained a flat expression and asked rhetorically: "First of all, have you thought about the adaptability of the force guide?" ”

"Ale......" Hexu's smile froze obviously.

"My body is only adapted to the whole chain, and this beta version has too few circuit holes for me."

"Woo......"

"Also, I'm not very good at commanding, and I'm more inclined to magic combat. This guide doesn't work for me. Theo came to a conclusion in a cold tone and dealt a direct blow to Hexu! This cheerful girl wilted all at once.

"How, how...... Obviously for the sake of Tiou-chan......" Hexu sat back in his chair with a gloomy expression. It seems that the rejection of Tio has hit her very hard.

"Is there a better candidate than me?" Theo used a rare rhetorical question.

He Xu looked at the people around him listlessly, and shook his head blankly.

I don't blame her, after all, she is the first time to come to the support department, and she only has the most basic understanding of these future colleagues - that is, the name.

"If you can, give this to Brother You."

"Huh?!"
