Chapter 41: Drones

"Do you hear that!? Can you hear it? So is Phoenix! Can you hear me!? ”

IS's personal path didn't need to be silent at all, but Yamada-sensei shouted anxiously as if he had forgotten.

"Since they themselves said they wanted to try, let them go."

"But, but they're just students, how can Mr. Oriban-sensei say such nonchalant words."

"Calm down. Grab some coffee. It's because your blood sugar is low that you're so restless. ”

"Spotted-sensei, that's salt."

The spoon paused from carrying the coffee and returned to the container containing the white crystals.

"Why is the salt here?"

"God, God knows, but that, the big word 'salt' is written there."

β€œβ€

"Ahh Sure enough, you're worried about your brother!? That's why such a low-level mistake was made. ”

Unpleasant silence, unpleasant silence. Sensing that something bad was about to happen, Maya Yamada tried to get away from it.

"W-Thatβ€”"

"Mr. Yamada, drink coffee."

"Huh? Isn't there salt in that? ”

"Please!"

The coffee with salt was stuffed stiffly, and Oriban Chito looked at her with unquestionable eyes, like a little girl who had been wronged, and Maya Yamada took it with tears in her eyes.

"Iβ€”You're welcome."

"It's best to drink it hot in one sitting!"

Hey, is it really okay to bully people like this?

"Teacher! I ask for permission to use IS! Strike now! ”

Cecilia, who was also staying here, wanted to support, no matter how superb Yang Xi's combat skills were, the current situation was not comparable to ordinary training at all, and no one could guarantee that she would not encounter danger.

"If you want to do that, look here."

The screen of the book-like terminal is tapped several times, and the information is displayed alternately. These are the level check sigils for Arena 2.

"The level of the shield is set to level 4? Moreover, all the doors are locked - is that IS the hell that it!? ”

"That's it. It doesn't work either to escape or to get in. ”

Although Oribana Chito's tone was calm. But if you look closely, you can see that her hand is busy clicking on the screen, and she can't suppress her anxiety at all.

"In this case, we will provide support to the government as an emergency."

"Already applied. Now the third-year elite is cracking the system. As soon as the protective shield is lifted, the troops will immediately attack it. ”

Saying this, Oribana Qiandong became more and more agitated, and her eyebrows trembled slightly. Cecilia received this red flag, bowed her head and stood by honestly.

"Hey~ After all, I can only wait."

"Actually, it's useless for you to worry, anyway. I didn't put you in the assault team, so it's better to stay honest. ”

"What, what? Why! Cecilia was curious to know why she was leaving herself out.

"Your IS's equipment is suitable for one-to-many, and many-to-one will get in the way."

"Impossible! Nothing like that! How could I get in the wayβ€”"

"So did you do cooperative training? What is your role in it? What about your own composition? How do you set the hierarchy of places? Continuous operation time-"

"I see, no need to say it again!"

"Hmph. It's good to know. ”

If you let Sister Qiandong's preaching go on, it can last for more than an hour, and if you don't want to be devastated, it's better to listen to her honestly.

On the battle field, because the opponent was full of thrusters, he dodged Yang Xi's attack from zero distance. It doesn't take a second! Coupled with the fact that the opponent's beam shots were numerous, Yang Xi had no choice but to give up several opportunities to prepare for a one-hit kill.

Although Huang Lingyin wanted to help, Yang Xi had always been entangled with the other party, and instead threw himself into a trap. can only stand on the sidelines anxiously and become an audience.

"Yixia, can you do it!"

"Man, you can't say no!"

Retreated backwards, distancing himself from the other side. Yang Xi looked at the bulging Huang Lingyin and said, "Since you are impatient, then I will give full play to the true strength of the white style." ”

"Real strength? You're still hiding it?! ”

"Well~ This weird guy can't hurt me, and my shield energy is still full. If it weren't for the fact that this guy was dressed like a hedgehog. I didn't want to be touched by it, and the battle was already won. ”

"Cut, you just blow it! This guy is different from the IS we have encountered in the past, not so much IS, but an intelligent robot" seems to have discovered something, Huang Lingyin glanced at the other party strangely, "Na, Yixia, when I was talking to you just now, it didn't attack it, as if listening with interest"

Putting aside the fight, Suzu rethinks, her expression is different from before, and she is very serious.

"Is there really someone in that IS who is manipulating?"

As soon as such a question arose, she shook her head and abandoned it, "No, it can't be a drone, and the IS that no one planted is absolutely impossible." That's how IS exists! ”

It is indeed written in the textbook that IS will never be able to move if it is not on the person.

But is it really absolute?

The so-called textbooks only record the so-called common sense, and in real life, many common senses are broken.

At least, Yang Xi knew that there was a person who could definitely create an IS that didn't need people to drive.

"This IS is a drone."

"Why do you think that?"

"Do you want me to prove it to you?"

"Of course!"

"Then 'Scattered White Nights' unfolds!"

The "Snow Flake Type 2" in the right hand emits a strong light that spreads from the central groove to the outside, forming an energy blade that is larger than the main body.

――[Scattered White Night] is possible to use. The energy conversion rate is 90%.

The feeling of being one is the same as when you first came into contact with IS. The five senses seem to be able to see the world clearly. The consciousness is as clear as if it is concentrated dozens of times, and most importantly, the sense of power that constantly pours out of the body.

Instant acceleration!

As if teleporting, Yang Xi's figure flashed, and when he stopped, he had already appeared behind the unknown IS at a distance of about ten meters.

The state of the scattered white night disappeared, and a roar came from the unknown IS that stood still. The energy supply was cut off, and it had lost its strength and had fallen to the ground.

The battle is over!

Take a look at the shield energy. Yang Xi pursed his lips, and sure enough, the originally full energy suddenly decreased by ninety percent. It's really a trick to hurt the enemy by 1,000 and damage 900 to yourself. Fortunately, the energy required to start in the scattered white night can also come from the outside.

Due to this accident, today's game is invalid.

"By the way, Suzu, since you're in Japan, is the store still open? My uncle's food is delicious. I want to eat it again. ”

"Ah, the store isn't open."

"Huh? Why? ”

"Because of my parents, I got divorced"

Is it? That's why when she asked her about her father's health that day, her face looked gloomy.

Looking at Suzu's gloomy face, Yang Xi didn't know how to comfort her.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Zeng Ling's family is so harmonious and warm, but I didn't expect that it was only a year later, and it was already separated, did something happen?

"Maybe it's because I'm back home."

Now that I think about it, Suzu was very emotionally unstable at that time. Covering up the heart, the dancing posture of forcing a smile, there are many, many such expressions. At that time, Yang Xi mistakenly thought that she was unwilling to part with herself, but she didn't expect it

"For now. The mother was given custody. You see, now women have the upper hand everywhere and are treated very well. So"

After only a moment of cheerfulness, the tone sank again.

"I haven't seen my dad for a year. He. Probably okay. ”

Families are torn apart, and that's never a good thing. But that's not something that can happen just a joke, something must have happened. Remembering Suzu's generous dad. I think of Suzu's mother who is active again.

Looking at Suzu's uncomfortable appearance. Yang Xi didn't feel good either.

"Anyway, the crisis has been lifted, let's go first. I'll leave it to the teachers to deal with the aftermath. ”

Fifty meters underground in the academy, only those with Level 4 clearance can enter, and it is a covered space.

The IS that had ceased to function was quickly transported here and analyzed it. In the two hours since, Chidong has gone through countless footage of the battles in the arena.

The room was faintly dark, and Chito's face was illuminated by the monitor, looking rather cold.

"Mr. Oriban."

A window opens in the display. The video is taken by Maya Yamada holding a book-shaped terminal, and the image is captured through a surveillance camera outside the door.

"Please come in."

After receiving permission, the door opened, and Mr. Yamada entered the room. At this time, she was a little more quick than usual.

"The results of the analysis of that IS are out."

"What was the result?"

"That's right. That's IS, it's -- a drone. ”

The world continues to develop the unfinished IS technology. Remote manipulation and autonomous independent movement. One or both of them have been applied to this fan-like IS. In this matter, all relevant parties were issued a speech suppression order.

"The method of its activities is unknown. The final blow of Weaver Spot-san completely burned off the functional center. Probably, it can't be recovered. ”

"How's the nucleus going?"

"It's a nucleus that hasn't logged in yet."

"Yes" Sure enough, this is the second half of the sentence. As if confirming something, Chito's expression changed, which made Maya Yamada, who had noticed, show a surprised expression.

"Any clues?"

"No, no. Now - not yet. ”

As he spoke, Orichi Chito returned her gaze to the image on the screen again. The expression on his face is not like a teacher, but closer to a fighter.

Once sat on the throne of the number one in the world, the legendary manipulator. She just kept staring at the image, and the sharp eyes she showed couldn't help but remind people of the first strong man in the service period. (To be continued......)
