The next morning's meeting.

"Weaver classmate, your IS will be sent over after a while, and it is also a special machine." Oribana Chito looked at her brother.

"Huh? Why? "Spotted Yixia was puzzled.

"Because you're still a special sample, you need a special machine to collect data." Oribana Qiandong scratched her hair in distress, isn't it obvious? Do you really think you're here to be a regular student?

Can't you learn from the one behind you who isn't shocked?

Then she found Ian lying on the table and convulsing because of the fatigue she had yesterday and her calf cramps.

"Forget it... Spare me... One by one......"

During the morning class, several teachers listened with strange expressions to the sound of the four students in the class with special machines pumping air from time to time.

I don't know who has cramps again...

On this day, Ian even stopped the basic technical deduction, after all, no one could stand the cramps of the forearm holding the book in his left hand and the cramps of the five fingers of the keyboard in his right hand.

Ian is hesitating... Do you want to kill yourself... Change your body and come on.

But he was reprimanded by Ritsuko to go back.

Because... The body used now has taken a lot of time to cultivate, and it has been used to deceive some kind of recognition mechanism of the IS core. But for the time being, this mechanism has not yet been determined. The success of the cultivation of this body is highly fortuitous and cannot be effectively replicated for the time being.

Now, of course, in the underground biolab facility in Anaheim, spare bodies are being cultivated. But it hasn't been cultivated recently.

“……… You still have to resist..."Thinking of this, Ian's whole body turned gray.

But luckily, there's such a thing as a neutron therapy device imported from the Star Trek world... At noon, I took the time to let the Enterprise airdrop three or four neutron therapy instruments down.

In just over an hour of treatment, the muscle fatigue of Ian and the other four was repaired.

Some of the underlying muscle strains have also been repaired one by one.

"Anyway, can you still fight, listen to the teacher, you have all been gasping all morning because of muscle soreness." Oribana Qiandong looked up and down at the four people who were already alive.

"Big husband! Cute big! Ian gave a thumbs up, leaking out a youthful smile like Xiao Li.

"What about you?"

"Same!"

"Let's come along." It doesn't take much time anyway. Ori Madara Chito thought to herself.

"In principle, I would not have been able to ascend to the IS after the third generation. However, seeing your technique lately, it's really a bit of an itch. ”

Chito led the group to the elevator in Area E of the Third Arena. Entering the elevator, Oribana Chidong quickly pressed the elevator floor button in a certain order. Then, keep pressing the elevator's downward button.

A burst of red light flashed, and Ian at least recognized body recognition, iris recognition, face recognition, lip pattern recognition, earprint recognition and other scans.

After the scan was completed, the elevator shook several times.

"This is the elevator unfolding its own power unit and detaching the steel cable on top of the carrying compartment."

Subsequently, the elevator began to descend.

It's getting faster and faster.

After nearly fifteen minutes of descent, the elevator slowly stopped.

The elevator doors open and there is a very sci-fi metal passage.

The blue RGB light is very good.

"This is the real core area of the IS Academy, the Confidential IS Research Institute, "Reflection". In front is the testing ground for the "reflection". We fought there. ”

"But Mr. Oriban... Why are we here for a mock battle? Cecilia was a little confused.

"Because I'm going to fight you in a machine that doesn't theoretically exist."

"A body that doesn't exist in theory?"

"That's right. Built on the basis of the 458th IS core, the world's first true fourth-generation mech, Twilight Sakura. Its Mind Core is normally used as the IS Academy's central control AI. "Oriban, Chidon, lifted the dust cloth covering the IS." It's been a long time, Makura. ”

"Strictly speaking, I see you every day, master."

"It's still as impersonal as ever... Wouldn't it be nice to have a good greeting? "Weaving Madara Qiandong scratched her head, it didn't feel good to be dismantled by her own IS." Ready to get started? ”

"The energy is full, the operating system is started according to the last setting, the self-test has been completed, except for a little dust on the surface, the combat readiness is complete."

"Very good, then Vasti-san, you come to the first one first. I need to familiarize myself with the body, I haven't operated the IS in years. Oribana Qiandong said as she began to undress herself.

"......" Ian's eyelids jumped, and he turned away, and began to take it off himself—he had already put on the driving tights in advance, but he had just put on another layer of school uniform outside.

"This driver's suit is probably the largest I've ever worn in my life... If it weren't for the fact that the Thunder God was fully covered and couldn't be seen from the outside, I don't think I would have dared to wear this driver's suit out of the door. Ian complained in the brain quantum wave chat room.

"I feel like your figure is different from before... It feels so much slimmer. Asuka carefully observed Ian's figure.

"It's definitely different... The original body is almost completely reproduced from my original body, and at the same time, some genetic enhancement is carried out, and the figure is definitely better than this body that is close to a woman..."

"Are you ready?" Oribana Chito boarded her own IS. As far as the driver's armor is concerned, this IS, called Makura, is shaped like a lady's knight's armor.

"Well, anytime." Ian also unfolded the IS, opting for the 0-RISER, which has more thrust and is more familiar to him.

Take out another physical knife. I looked at the grip for a moment, well, it's a chrysanthemum text.

"You guys follow the signs to the observation room, I'm not sure if this kind of underground space battle will affect you."

"Okay."

"This arena, including the ceiling and floor, is wrapped with active inertial dominance positions to prevent IS and IS armament from harming the surrounding walls. So rest assured, you won't be able to break this underground facility. ”

"So... This towel starts at the same time as it lands. "Ori Madara Chito picked up a towel with the Makura Tokutai knife. Raise it to the sky.

The towel slides down slowly.

At the same time as they landed, the two IS disappeared almost at the same time, and in the next moment, they appeared in the center of the field, and the blades of the two Taidao collided, and a huge shock wave echoed in this underground space.

Then, the two bodies vanished again, colliding in mid-air, and Ian grabbed Chito's flaw and tossed her legs downward.

The moment Makuzakura Ian took off his hand, Makura's posture changed, and she came back in a circle and swung her sword. Ian ducked his head to dodge the blade, but was hit by the ensuing roundhouse kick and hit the wall.

"Enough, go on." Ian wiped a handful of blood from biting his tongue. The mech vanished again, turning into an afterimage and a constant confrontation between Makura.
