CHAPTER XVI

After finishing the training, Yu Mo found Sergeant Tut.

Yu Mo remembered that when Matt introduced himself to Tut, he said that Sergeant Tut was a training maniac, he was the one who had experienced the most battles in the base, but lived the longest without it, and it was said that he had also served as an instructor in a training school.

At that time, Yu Mo only thought that it was just a coincidence, or that it was just because Sergeant Tut was rarely exposed to danger on the battlefield, and it seemed that this was not the case.

After finishing the training, Yu Mo found Sergeant Tut.

Sergeant Tut's flat hair was steaming hot, and it was clear that she had just finished a series of extremely muscle-testing exercises, but Sergeant Tut's face did not look tired, as if she would not be tired even after a day of basic training.

Sergeant Tut has a crumpled scar at the base of his neck, and according to Maiko, before the development of the Motorized Armor Adjustment Device, soldiers would be implanted with chips to assist their nerves and prevent damage caused by HA movements exceeding the threshold. Although the army no longer needs to be implanted, Sergeant Tut's wound can be regarded as a medal for surviving on the battlefield for more than ten years.

"What's the matter?" Tut, who was lowering his head and massaging his legs seriously, did not look up, but keenly noticed Yu Mo's arrival, and his voice was still loud.

"Uh......" Yu Mo, who was only thinking about asking Tut his question, didn't know how to talk about it.

"Is it because you're afraid?" When Yu Mo tried to organize the language, Tut's voice came, Yu Mo didn't understand what Tut said again, and couldn't help but ask, "What?" ”

"I mean, I'm scared of tomorrow's battle, so come talk to me?" Tut explained.

"How could you be afraid?" Yu Mo's answer blurted out, and then Yu Mo was stunned in place, yes, I don't know when I was no longer afraid of fighting.

Hearing this, Tut stopped his massage and raised his head to seriously examine this new soldier who will go to the battlefield tomorrow but has this kind of consciousness.

Under Tut's scrutiny, Yu Mo realized that his answer just now did not match a rookie who was going to the battlefield for the first time tomorrow, thinking about it, Yu Mo added: "I mean, even if you run away anyway, you can't change the current situation, instead of being afraid, it's better to fight bravely." ”

After hearing Yu Mo's answer, Tut was stunned for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Yu Mo, do you know the way?" Honestly, I've always felt like you're a different guy. ”

"What's different?" Yu Mo asked with Tut's words.

"Do you know the way? There are three kinds of people in the army!! One is the fanatics who do not show vitality until the moment of life and death. One is a guy who has no other way to live and has no choice but to become a soldier. There is also a kind of guy who stumbles on the bridge and falls into the army. I used to think you were the third kind of person. But your answer just now made me think that maybe I was getting older, and my sense of smell was starting to rust. ”

Hearing Tut's words, Yu Mo laughed at himself, "Maybe when you are reincarnated for the first time, you are indeed that kind of person, right?" In the first reincarnation of myself in that bastard battlefield, on the battlefield where I was frightened by the sudden battle, I could only tremble, and I would be afraid because of despair and horror. However, when he escaped from the base for the second time, he still couldn't escape the doom of death, but on that occasion he found the 'answer to courage'! Although until now, I have not been able to survive even once. However, in the dark, this world still gave me a chance, and it was like telling myself: 'Don't give up, you must be brave enough to continue to survive in the continuous cycle of samsara.' As long as you don't have the idea of escaping from the base, then you can repeat the training and actual combat every other day, continue to grow stronger, and survive tomorrow! ”

"Someday I'll be able to live!" Yu Mo's eyes were full of determination.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Huh?" Yu Mo only noticed at this time that the corners of his mouth were smiling shallowly along with his thoughts.

"What a weird little ghost. Tomorrow I went to the battlefield for the first time, and now I will smile. ”

Yu Mo didn't know how to explain, so he could only try to introduce the topic to the purpose of today's arrival: "Sergeant Tut, do you want to continue training?" ”

"Well, that's right."

Yu Mo begged, "Can you let me practice with you?" ”

"It's not funny." Tut, who heard Yu Mo's request, stared at Yu Mo, his round eyes sunken in dark skin as if the destructive power of a twenty-millimeter armor-piercing bullet shot through Yu Mo's heart.

If it was Yu Mo who was reincarnated for the first time, Yu Mo would definitely run away in this look.

But at this time, Yu Mo, who had experienced thirty-three reincarnations, stood in place, staring at Tut without giving way.

"Forget it, you sit down." Looking at Yu Mo's determined eyes, Tut scratched his short hair vigorously, and then slapped the ground with the same hand, after Yu Mo sat down, then Tut asked, "Why do you want to think of training with me?" Tomorrow is going to the battlefield, what's the use of coming back to train today? ”

"I don't think there's a need to be too anxious, but if, I mean, if I can survive tomorrow's battle, then I'll be able to face the next battle; If you survive again, you can move on to the next one. In order to be able to fully integrate the skills learned in actual combat into the human body, it is necessary to conduct simulation training in the interval between actual combat and actual combat...... I think if I could learn a survival technique every time I fight, then I would have a better chance of surviving, right? ”

As Yu Mo began to talk endlessly, Tut gradually widened his eyes, and only replied after half resounding: "Hmm...... Maybe. ”

"It's not a bad thing to start training now, right?" Yu Mo concluded.

Tut laughed slightly, "What a hairy little ghost who likes to make a big noise." ”

"I'm sorry."

Tut was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that I am really old, and my sense of smell has begun to rust." Actually, Yu Mo, do you know the way? There is a fourth type of person on the battlefield, and this kind of person is: the courage to challenge all the difficulties in front of him, and constantly crush all those who block his way! ”

"Does Sergeant Tut mean I'm the fourth person?"

"I didn't say ......"

"Is Sergeant Tut the fourth of the kind?"

Tut simply shrugged his shoulders and did not reply. Tut then said, "Fifteen minutes later, wear the first level equipment, assemble here." ”

"Level 1 equipment? Do you mean to wear HA? ”

"Idiot, how can a Mobile Suit train without HA? Hurry up and get dressed! There seemed to be a hint of warmth in the serious voice.

"Yes!" Yu Mo saluted with all his strength.
