——AD.2156.5.20——

HMS Normandy.

"Meet us, this is our lookout 'Apoc', navigator 'Switch', supply manager 'Cypher', repairman 'Tank' and 'Dozer', ship doctor 'Mouse', and stormtrooper leader 'Trinity'."

Morpheus introduced Anderson one by one to the crew members who came to the infiltration area, but Anderson couldn't remember for a while, so he could only roughly forcibly associate the name with appearance, such as the pager is a long-haired gloomy man, the switch is a short-haired white woman, the password is a bald head with a mustache, the tank and the bulldozer are a pair of Indian brothers with pigtails, the mouse is a teenager who seems to be underage, and Trinity ...... Only her name is out of place with her colleagues, oh, and Captain Morpheus.

"If I had just listened to the post, I would have thought it was a traditional ocean-going wood-hulled sailing ship," Anderson commented, "and what about the crew I saw earlier?" ”

"Ah, the Age of Discovery, indeed," Morpheus nodded, "By analogy, they are 'ordinary sailors'." ”

"What about me?" At the same time as he asked this sentence, Anderson regretted it, and wouldn't it be embarrassing if Morpheus answered "savior" directly.

"Everybody has their own responsibilities, but it's not set in stone, they may have a good position, but they can also take on other roles if necessary without major problems," Morpheus said, looking at Anderson. ”

The job of this position seems to be to develop a sailing course for the entire ship according to the environment, and the responsibility is a bit too much.

Before contemplating whether to shirk or not, Anderson suddenly noticed a certain word: "You say...... Wish I could? ”

"Of course, although Morpheus believes that you are the 'Savior', if you can't show enough ability, and he forces everyone to listen to you based on the legend of the 'Savior' and the captain's authority, there will be a lot of resistance," Trinity put down a frame: "The first thing you need to do is to learn. ”

Although it was tempting to say, "I would have returned what I learned in school to the teacher a long time ago," Anderson realized in time that she was not referring to knowledge in the traditional sense, but probably some kind of "skill", so he obediently lay down in that box.

After lying down, he realized that what he thought was a transparent "lid" was only seen from the outside, but when he looked from the inside out, the position of his head was a small "display", on which a row of words was constantly flashing.

【ConstructOnline】

Before Anderson could ask what it was, the letters on the display instantly turned into several seven-colored lights and rushed towards him.

"It's ......"

When Anderson regained consciousness, he found himself in a strange white space, and although he had a down-to-earth feeling, he could not distinguish the boundary between heaven and earth as far as he could see.

"This is the Construct, the virtual space that we simulate the matrix builds, which is generally used for training and learning, and the equipment we want to bring into the matrix is also loaded here." Morpheus suddenly appeared not far in front of Anderson, and explained as he was customary.

"So, what am I going to learn? Weapon use and vehicle driving? Anderson asked.

"No, that kind of thing can be mastered with 'indoctrination,' and what you need to learn now is martial arts, and parkour." Morpheus replied.

"What?" Anderson suspects something is wrong with his ears.

"Are you surprised by 'indoctrination' or 'learning content'?" Morpheus nudged the sunglasses off his face.

"Well, maybe it's all a little bit," Anderson raised his hand and nodded his head, "And is the content of 'indoctrination' and 'learning' reversed?" ”

"This is a common misunderstanding, Neo, maybe you think that you can use it flexibly based on your own skills as long as you master it, but the skills for foreign objects need to be honed, but in fact, those skills that use foreign objects can also be 'instilled', and due to the different perceptions of each person's own perception, based on their own ability performance will be very different, and it cannot be standardized, maybe you will have a more realistic sense of this when you actually practice it." Morpheus tilted his head slightly: "Tank? ”

At this moment, some kind of "wave" rushed by, and after that, the completely pure white space was replaced by a martial arts hall full of oriental style, and the clothes on Morpheus and Anderson were also replaced by a set of pure black martial arts uniforms at the same time.

"Oh, Kung Fu?" Anderson tugged at his clothes: "But I don't seem to know at all." ”

"Name a martial arts master you know, whether he's boxing, judo, karate or sanda, we'll instill in you the fighting ability he has, of course, just the public perception of his ability, not his real skills." Morpheus put his hands behind his back, looking a bit like a martial arts teacher.

"That...... Bruce lee? Anderson tried to put on a nondescript stance.

"Jeet Kune Do? Very good. Morpheus lowered his body and struck a posture with his palms back and forth, slowly walking towards Anderson.

"Wait, I haven't-"

[Wow-da——! 】

With a full battle cry, Anderson appeared in front of him a capable man wearing a yellow-bottomed black-edged jumpsuit, black hair and black eyes, and a resolute face.

Anderson was looking excited, but saw the man suddenly turn back to him after knocking the last black suit away, and Anderson was shocked to find that the man's face had changed to his own at some point.

Whew-

The illusion receded in an instant, and Morpheus, who was walking this way, had only taken two steps.

"Is this 'indoctrination'?" Anderson shook his head and raised his fists to Morpheus in a Jeet Kune Do starting stance.

"Good." Seeing that he had regained consciousness, Morpheus gave a thumbs up, stepped forward directly, and stretched out his left arm to push a palm towards Anderson's abdomen.

This is just an ordinary mid-section boxing, and in addition to stacking palms to defend the frame, there are also-

Before he could think about it, the palm had already been pushed in front of him, and Anderson had to fold his hands to block it, and then took two steps backwards.

Morpheus's expression remained unchanged, his palms were short, and his legs swept in an arc towards Anderson's unsteady feet.

The next kick, if you are hit, you may fall to the ground, and the jump dodge is-

Anderson jumped half a meter on his feet and dodged the sweeping leg.

- is the worst response.

Feed!

By this time, Morpheus had turned back to the front, and his right arm, which had arrived with the force of rotation, and his left arm, which had gathered momentum for a moment, struck out at the same time.

Touch! Knock ——!

Anderson was directly knocked into the air by volley, and his back hit the wall of the martial arts hall fiercely: "Woopoof! ”

Morpheus slowly retracted his moves, returning to the staggered posture of his palms at the beginning:

"So, it needs to be learned."
