Chapter Thirty-Six: Rain and Racing
At the door of the technical building, Chloe kicked open the door with his foot unceremoniously: "Comrades, I'm here!" ”
Hearing his voice, the two people in the room turned around, both with helpless expressions.
This is not the first time you have been to the Technical Building, which is a place where students can adjust their tactical power guides. It is a small room where you can see the color of steel everywhere, giving it a serious smell of rust. The student in charge of this place is none other than the last person in Angelica's four: George.
There were originally two people in the technical building, and the male student wearing yellow overalls and big light-proof goggles on his head was George. His body was slightly blessed, which was rare in a military school where everyone had a standard of physique. Because of the perennial workmanship, the arms are very strong and the muscles are stacked.
Beside him was Angelica. I had a fight with You at school before. However, that time was a misunderstanding, and Angelica, who was picked up by Chloe, fought with Youda. At this time, Angelica was still wearing the purple leather coat that seemed to be the symbol, and stood behind George with her hands on her chest, watching him prepare a steel thing that looked like a horse.
This styling tour has ever seen.
In the Republic of Calvard, there is a popular type of cycling equipment called "bicycle". The front and rear wheels, with chains and pedals, are used to keep the direction of progress with the steering handlebar, which is a relaxing equipment.
As for why Yu would know this...... Because that's Noelle's interest...... She's not just a fan of guided cars. She likes this kind of thing with a sense of speed.
And what you see now is almost like a huge bicycle made of steel. (Actually, it's a motorcycle, but I don't know the name now.) )
It has a fuchsia exterior and feels like Angelica's, with streamlined steel skid plates giving it a reliable feel. Now, both of its front and rear tires have been removed, leaving only a bare bottom bracket, which George is putting on new tires.
Hearing Chloe say hello, the two of them turned around. When Angelica saw You, her eyes radiated a wonderful fighting spirit.
Hey, don't think of me as an opponent. You sighed, but didn't say it in the end.
"Well, it's cool."
Chloe seemed to be pretentious, and he slapped his backhand on You's chest with pride, as if he had invented it.
"Oh, this is ...... Instructor Tour, right? I'm George from the Assistive Technology Building. Second-year civilian student. ”
Maybe he regarded You as a nobleman, George's honest face was full of humility, and he called himself a civilian student. He just wanted to reach out and shake You's hand, but immediately retracted it again.
He wears gloves on his hands, and when he was just preparing the guide locomotive, he was covered in dirty engine oil, and it was of course rude to shake hands with people with such hands.
You smiled, and with a flash of lightning, he reached out and took George's retracted hand.
"Please advise, Mr. George."
Just one action made George quickly understand his character. Gentle, does not care about status, respects others. Made a good first impression on George.
"Chloe, are you bringing the instructor here?"
Angelica asked, and Chloe scratched her head and smiled, "Just to open his eyes." It's handsome, isn't it? ”
"Yes, it's very handsome."
Yu nodded, carefully looking at the steel behemoth in front of him, although it didn't start, You could already feel its speed. Unlike bicycles, which require manual pedaling, guided locomotives seem to be vehicles driven by guiding force. It's a bit like a traction car, but it only has two wheels and is half the size of the body, making it look very agile.
If it was Noelle, he would probably jump with excitement, right?
"Ahaha, thanks for the compliment. It's my confidence. ”
His work was praised, and a smile appeared on George's honest face.
After the explanation of the three of you, you and I finally understood the origin of this guide locomotive.
The guide locomotive is a machine made by George and framed by Angelica. It seems that when he was in the first grade, George assembled it as his own project. It's a great pleasure to run. However, because it is a personal trial, and it is specially tuned for Angelica to drive, it is a steel beast with very high performance and is difficult for ordinary people to control.
Because it was raining today, George and Angelica temporarily decided to try to see how the guide locomotive would slip on a rainy day and whether the rain would erode the inside of the machine, so they were making relevant adjustments, and were preparing to skip class and go to the streets around Tolita to run the sports car.
"Hmm-I'm skipping class, but I'm not a regular teacher, so I'll let you go."
You said easily, Chloe looked like a brother again, and hooked You's neck: "I know, instructor, you are super superior." That's right. ”
"But, Chloe, what are you trying to do with me? Is it just for the sake of showing off? Doesn't it feel like it? ”
You continued to ask.
Judging from Crow's excited expression before, it didn't seem as simple as being happy for the power of the locomotive - after all, whether it was making or driving, it had nothing to do with him. He will be so happy, he must have had wonderful fun after seeing himself.
"Hey, instructor, you really know me-"
Twenty minutes later.
With the ringing of the class bell, the Toruz Military Academy suddenly became quiet. Only the sound of the rain made the four of them feel the silence of the world even more.
Pushing the guide locomotive, the four of them made it all the way to the road outside the city of Tolista.
Then, Angelica skillfully rode the guide motorcycle, and swimming, making a starting position next to her.
Then, after George's "start", a car and one person rushed out at the same time.
Yes, that's Chloe's pleasure.
He plucked Tatsumi to race with the guide motorcycle. It seems that Angelica wrote a lot about the speed of swimming, and then Chloe had a whim, who is faster in the guide locomotive or the swim running?
Just take advantage of this opportunity to compare.
It doesn't matter who wins or loses, Chloe is happy. You won, that's the victory of man over machine. If you lose, the instructor who can see the scenery is lost and can see your friend win. Either way, it was Chloe who won.
However, You agreed without much pretension. He was also curious about how fast this guide locomotive could be. As soon as he heard George's voice, he swam with all his might.
Legs flicked desperately, each kick stomped down with the momentum of smashing the ground, and then ran forward with the force of recoil. The stagnant water on the ground was shattered by his steps, leaping high and then falling hard. It was a long time before there was a crackling sound of falling water.
As soon as it opened, Yu Tatsumi far surpassed Angelica.
It seems that the speed of the guide locomotive needs to be cumulative.
You thought so in your heart.
"Yo-instructor, I'll come here~"
Suddenly, Angelica's voice came from behind in the distance. You took out a throwing knife from his pocket and used it as a rearview mirror, only to see that in the gray rainy world, Angelica's headlights pierced the rain curtain like a sharp blade. Moreover, it is getting closer.
Well, that's interesting.
You put away the knife, only to feel that his whole body was hot. The body that has become manic by the subtle influence of true knowledge is clamoring for him to win the game. The icy rain had nothing to do with this scorching war.
The real game is just about to begin!
