Chapter 52: Contrasts and Cuteness
Early the next morning.
The girls who focus on the spiritual department have gone to the University of the Transcendental, while the girls of the meat system have stayed on the Hearth Island to continue honing their skills.
Only Asker, who has just been promoted to Lv.5 (there is no need for potions for the time being), and he and Hood stay in the workshop of the barracks to study something.
"I suddenly found out that your team has a fatal problem." Hood operated the machine and said suddenly.
"What's the problem?" Asker asked, crossing his arms.
"The girls under your command have no characteristics." Hood commented.
No features? By the way, Aske immediately understood what he meant.
These girls have been discovered by themselves since they were newcomers, and they have grown up to this point with one hand. The advantage is that they grow faster and will not take detours, and the disadvantage is naturally that the style of play is also close to themselves, lacking some personal characteristics.
No matter how proud Asker is, he doesn't dare to say that his style of play is completely flawless. If the whole team has the same style, and then someone deliberately targets it...... That's a tricky question.
"Looks like I'm going to give them a chance to figure it out on their own." Aske pondered and said, "Let them play appropriately and freely, and form a style of play that suits them personally." ”
Hood:???
"I'm not talking about the style of play, I'm talking about the character!" Hood corrected, "Don't you think that the girls under your command are very characterless? ”
"What are you talking about?" Asker was completely confused.
"For example, I'll give you an example." Hood said, "Eleanor, Knight of Justice, can she be labeled as a conservative character? ”
"For example, mechanical idiots don't know how to use mobile phones at all; easy to get lost; Seeing the weak being bullied, he will stand up.,Although it's hard, but there's a gentle side in the character.,I especially like small animals......"
"For example, Peggy, you can bring the attributes of a sick girl. For example, I secretly follow you every day, and I will grit my teeth when I see you talking to other girls, and I have eighty firewood knives hidden in my clothes......"
"Are you writing a novel?" Asker interrupted him with a laugh, "Where are so many messy attributes! ”
"There are no attributes, your harem is very boring!" Hood expressed strong skepticism.
"We are a mercenary group, not a harem group." Asker emphasized, "The mercenary group doesn't need to go out of its way to collect people with distinct personalities, we just need potential seedlings, and then cultivate them into reliable combat effectiveness, and finally go to the battlefield." ”
"That's boring." Hood complained.
"It doesn't have to be interesting." "Just win." ”
"Keep winning."
Hood was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that this guy was a little stubborn in some ways.
"Let's talk about the second one." Aske sighed helplessly, "Your labels are also from novels and anime?" In order to express the technique, the artwork will adopt some distinct character labels. ”
"But you see, in reality, how can there be such people around you? It's easy to get lost, is this guy having underdeveloped brains? Hiding dozens of firewood knives in private, is there really no problem with the psychology of such a person? Shouldn't it be sent to psychiatric treatment? ”
"It's because reality is so bland and boring that we need to have some fun!" Hood cried out in grief, "You heinous sin! Obviously opened a harem, and I want to destroy the dream of a harem party like mine! Wouldn't it be nice to give people some room for reverie?! ”
"It's none of my business!" Aske was also a little annoyed, "Their personalities are not determined by me!" And you kid slandered me for opening a harem all day long, do you want me to make a hole in your head first? ”
"What's wrong with a man with a bigger brain!" Hood hurriedly hugged his head, "I'm also trying to make them a little cuter!" ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm not cute enough." Eleanor's voice rang out from outside.
The two of them turned their heads stiffly to see Eleanor leaning against the door frame and clasping her arms with a speechless expression of "look what you guys are arguing about".
"When did you come?" Aske asked with a dry smile.
"When you say, 'I'm not characteristic.'" Eleanor said lightly.
"Uh...... Oh yes, Hood is working on a new weapon for you! Aske hurriedly changed the subject and glanced at Hood, "Hood, take it out quickly." ”
"Huh? But that's ......," Hood hadn't reacted yet.
"It's a new weapon for Eleanor." Asker emphasized.
Hood was speechless and removed a streamlined longsword from the workbench.
Hearing of the new weapon, Eleanor's eyes were immediately drawn to it.
Although it looks like a sword from a rough angle, its blade line is extremely narrow and long, with a certain cold, chilling sheen. The arc is slightly curved, more like a knife to be precise, with dense patterns on the blade body.
"Hot melt knives!" Hood held it up and said ostentatiously, "Made of ultra-high-temperature resistant tantalum hafnium carbide alloy, there is a three-dimensional network-like hollow tunnel inside, and the single-phase nuclear fusion battery is powered by heating, and the flame retardant heat transfer oil is pressed into the tunnel by a heat pump for circulation, so that the edge of the long sword can be directionally heated to more than several thousand degrees Celsius, which is enough to cut through the steel structure of the power armor." ”
Eleanor took the hot melt knife and pressed the switch as Hood had said, and sure enough, the edge turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the air began to burn hot.
With a wave of her hand, she slashed at the steel piled up next to her, like a hot knife cutting into butter, and the hot melt knife easily cut the steel in two, and the break seemed to melt and trickle slightly.
"It looks pretty good." Eleanor commented, "Still, this isn't a weapon for me. ”
Asker was silent when he heard this, and sure enough, he still didn't lie to her.
As an MT, Eleanor's role is mainly to hold the enemy's hatred, so it is not a high-damage output weapon that suits her, but a containment weapon with high durability and a wide attack range, such as a spear or broadsword.
"Then I'll help you bring it to Peggy." Eleanor put the hot knife away and turned to leave, "You've said bad things about her anyway, and I hope she'll forgive you for the sake of this weapon." ”
"Wait a minute, Eleanor!" Aske hurriedly shouted, "Don't tell her, don't! ”
"Just kidding." Eleanor looked back and blinked.
"After all, I'm not a tough character." She said playfully as if she had succeeded in a prank.
The door was closed again, and Asker was relieved.
Well, it's good that there is no misunderstanding.
He looked at Hood, only to find the boy staring blankly at the door, two lines of nosebleeds slowly running down.
"Hood, what are you?" Asker was a little stunned.
"Contrast...... "Hood muttered.
