"That should be more cumbersome to train and test than a normal squad, right?" Xingchen knew in his heart that the name of the ace team was not so easy to take.

"Well, it's definitely a little higher than the level of ordinary squads," Nagisa continued to explain, "The top 16 in the entrance test will be arranged in five squads, except for the first place, there are exactly three people in each squad. ”

"Is this intended to continue to test our team combat capabilities after testing our individual skills?" Catherine felt that the academy's hand was still testing their hole cards.

"It's okay if you think so, but that's how it is on the battlefield, one person and one machine can become a hero, but they can't influence the war," Nagisa did not deny, "These five squads do not use a numbering system, but have the names of their respective squads, referred to as the Five Knights Squad, from top to bottom, in order, Abyss, Death, Fall, Fear, Nightmare, you are the strongest Abyss Knight Squad." ”

"That, Senior Nagisa, I said...... "A big drop of sweat seemed to appear on Shirley's forehead, "Isn't this name too dark, and it's also a little bit second." ”

"Well, that's how the academy arranged, but it's pretty handsome, isn't it," Nagisa spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't do anything about the name, "Originally, according to the results of the lottery, Shouhe should have led your team, but he submitted an application for special cultivation to the academy - well, it is estimated that he went to the backmountain forest to bully wild animals again - so as his good friend, I took over." ”

"Bullying wild animals...... Catherine and the three immediately began to imagine the scene of Shouhe's life in the jungle.

"Well, everything that needs to be said is done, and if you want to chat, there will be time in the future. Now it's time for the first mission of the squad. Nagisa clapped his hands and turned the attention of the three of them back to himself, "Since you are in the name of the strongest team, don't let others look down on you." ”

"What task? Isn't it the opening ceremony today? Catherine asked, "This school really likes to do raids." ”

"Well, who told us to have such an unreliable chief instructor, I don't know what strange mission he has prepared. But it's easy to understand. So," Nagisa said, turning around and walking towards the door, "Abyss Knight Squad, let's go!" ”

In the mountain behind the Dark Sanctuary Academy, there is an extremely large area isolated by a protective shield for the Academy's field combat training. At this time, the Abyss Knight team led by Nagisa was rushing to an entrance to the field training ground, and the sword cat stood in front of the entrance with his arms crossed and waited for them.

"Report to the instructor, the Abyss Knights squad has assembled." Nagisa, who is the captain, reports to the sword cat.

"Well," Sword Cat glanced at Tsubasa, Shirley, and Xingchen and nodded, "It's not bad, it's still tender, but at least it looks pretty presentable." As he spoke, he leaned sideways to give way to the entrance, "As an ace squad, I will explain simply and directly that in the depths of this jungle, I have arranged a goal. Your mission is to go in and destroy the target, and then come back safely. ”

Everyone didn't answer, but they knew in their hearts that it wouldn't be that simple.

"The other four knight squads will break through the other four entrances, and your goal is the same. The remaining one hundred and fifteen cadets will be deployed in the jungle with the exception of Faeron, who are the defenders and are meant to stop you. ”

"One hundred and fifteen!"

"Fifteen against one hundred and fifteen?"

"What's there to be surprised about? It's not surprising that there is a greater difference in proportion than this on the battlefield," the sword cat frowned and stared at everyone, "You freshmen, go to the hangar immediately to pick up your own machine, it will be your special machine for the past three years in the academy." ”

"So, what about Nagisa-senpai?" Shirley asked, turning her head.

"Of course he won't accompany you in, and besides, he has his own special machine, so he can go in and beat up the children?" The sword cat directly denied the possibility of foreign aid.

Nagisa shook his head: "Of course I don't have my share in such an interesting thing as abusing vegetables. ”

The college hangar is located underground, and is heavily secured. Twenty-four hour surveillance, alloy bunker layer, infrared-sensing automatic machine gun. There are a total of 12 electronic password doors from the outermost to the innermost, which can be described as layers of protection and impermeable. The body in the hangar, according to the generation, new and old, use, etc., is placed next to the operating table in different categories.

The three of them walked around the hangar, and from time to time they could see workers overhauling the airframe. Since Catherine is biased towards the shooting side, and Shirley and Stellar are both close to the combat type, Catherine is alone in search of the body area where she specializes in shooting. After looking at the old mech, Catherine went deeper, and the level of the visible mechism around her was also rising.

"MKII., Reloaded, GP01-FB......" Catherine looked at them one by one, and although there were many bodies that caught her eye, there were all things that didn't suit her.

"It's so troublesome." With so many choices, Catherine struggled to make a choice for a while. It's not because I don't understand, but precisely because I understand it too well, and I know the advantages and disadvantages of each organism well, so I really can't choose between them.

"Yo, is it Tsubasa?"

Catherine, who was thinking, was startled by a sudden voice behind her. Quickly pulling away and turning, Catherine saw a man standing in front of her with a large toolkit. Catherine recognized him as the head of body maintenance on the podium during the entrance test, who seemed to be named Kirisen.

"Sure enough, it's Tsubasa sauce." Tongsheng looked familiar, "What are you doing here?" Oh, by the way, you're the last group to choose the mech, right? ”

"Uh......" Tsubasa is not used to asking questions, but Tongsheng is a staff member of the academy, and she can't say anything.

"How about this reload, it's just remodeled, it's brand new." Tongsheng continued happily.

"Well, while it does look new, the reload itself is a support mech, with no beam weapons, and almost no melee capabilities, and it can only be used as a support on the battlefield in the future." Catherine denied the reloading at once. Hearing Catherine's words, Tongsheng raised her eyebrows, and her gaze at her changed.

He put away his expression and pointed to the other body again: "What about this GP01-FB?" The ability to hover in the air makes the shooting environment very stable. ”

"That's not a good thing, I'm also an obvious target hovering in the air," Catherine continued to say her opinion, but she didn't notice that Tongsheng had been staring at her, "And it's not equipped with FB equipment, and the propulsion is too low." ”

With a hint of a smile, Tong Sheng asked again, "What about the Pirate X2 over there?" ”

"The bulletproof cloak is indeed a good piece of equipment, and the beam cannon is also very powerful," Catherine nodded this time to indicate that it was not bad, "However, the shooting equipment is a spear, which is not good enough for me who is used to using a rifle, and it will affect my shooting accuracy." As soon as she finished speaking, Catherine suddenly noticed Tong Sheng looking at her with a smile on her face, "What, what's wrong?" Is there something on my face? ”

"Tsubasa chan, you're lucky, come with me." After Tong Sheng finished speaking, he threw the tool bag on his shoulder and carried it, pulling Catherine towards the deeper part of the hangar.

"Hey! I said......"

Catherine didn't know if she should break free for a while, and it would be a bit of a problem to hurt the body supervisor if she used brute force to hurt the director. Fortunately, he didn't go far, and Tongsheng let go of his hand. At this time, in front of Catherine was a huge alloy door. Tongsheng quickly typed in the code, and the metal door slowly rose upward.

As the door opened, a separate operating room appeared in front of Catherine, filled with all kinds of instruments and tools, and the most striking thing was the parked body in the operating room. The white fuselage, painted black around the cockpit, and the most striking thing is the blue winged equipment on the back.

"It's beautiful!" Even Catherine, who has seen many bodies since she was a child, was attracted for a while and couldn't help but admire.

"This machine will make you, and you will make the most of this body," Tong Sheng walked over to the body and stroked the body like a child, "This freedom will be yours in the future, Tsubasa chan." ”

"Belong, mine, exclusive mech?" Catherine looked at the "Freedom" and although she had not yet driven it, she had a feeling that she had to do it. This machine is what I have always dreamed of.

"This is the information of the body, so let's take it and read it slowly. It's a masterpiece between me and a senior technician, so don't waste its value. Tong Sheng handed over a few pages of data to Catherine.

"Number: ZAFTZGMF-X10AFREEDOM, Freedom Gundam." Catherine read the paper, "Nuclear power—wait, mind storage systems, eighth generation!" ”

The pilot's body combination, destined to become legendary, came into contact with each other for the first time.
