Chapter 5 Field Training
Time is like an arrow, and time is like a shuttle. After the end of the Hundred Days Campaign, another ten years passed on the Semria plane.
This morning, Reilly was sitting on the second floor of the Guerrilla Guild studying, when a vigorous voice suddenly came from below: "Good morning, Mr. Reilly!"
Looking at the teenagers and girls walking up the stairs, Reilly smiled, "Good morning, Estelle, Joshua. Today is an important day, are you ready?"
"Of course!" the girl clenched her fists and said excitedly, "After the training, we can become guerrillas!"
"Well, it's rare that you're so motivated. Reilly nodded and said, "Then, in response to your momentum, today's training will be more rigorous than usual!
"Ah~ how can this be......" The girl pouted dissatisfiedly.
"No way. Reilly spread his hands and said, "I've put a lot of thought into pouring important things into your colander head." ”
"Hey~Joshua, help me~"
"Mr. Reilly, Estelle must be fine. Joshua smiled and said, "Although she hates reading, she rarely reviews her homework, and she is not very good at using her brain. But that keen intuition is far more than human, and the use of the guide has also been trained in actual combat, which is enough to cope with ordinary situations. ”
"In that case, you should behave well. ”
"Joshua......" The girl stared at the boy dissatisfied, and said, "Which side are you on?"
"You're thinking too much, Istelle. Joshua smiled and said, "I'm just being honest about your merits. ”
"It's really ......"
"You two don't have to be bickering. Reilly slapped the table and said, "Estelle, since you want to be a guerrilla so much, you must know what the guerrilla's job is, right?
"Hmph~Hmph~Hmph~" Estelle straightened her chest and said confidently, "It's too underestimated, Mr. Reilly! I've long remembered my duties as a guerrilla, and I don't need Joshua to remind me of it!"
"Oh, let's talk about it. ”
"Uh-huh~" Estelle cleared her throat and said, "The purpose of the guerrillas is to fight for the safety of the people! In addition to destroying monsters and fighting crime, we will also take on some work to find items or escort clients. ”
"Not bad, that's commendable!" Reilly clapped his hands and said, "So, let's talk about the role of the guide, which is the root of the channeling magic." ”
"Uh...... A force guide is a ......" Astelle scratched her head and said, "A machine that is powered by conductive force. ”
"Inside the detractor, there is a crystallization circuit made of Qiyao stone, which can cause a variety of phenomena. Joshua added, "Although it is a new product that has only been invented in the last 50 years, it has been widely used in lighting, heating, communications, magic, military affairs, etc., and has a great impact on people's lives." ”
As Joshua said, the power guide is a high-tech product that was invented fifty years ago. At the beginning, the university scholar Epstein devoted himself to the study of ancient relics, and succeeded in analyzing the internal structure of some of these devices, and then developed the power guide. As a result, human society has entered the era of guidance from the age of steam.
For that otherworldly version of the Industrial Revolution, Reilly has studied in depth. He found that there was a strong similarity between conductivity and electricity. Basically everything that people on earth have done with electricity can be achieved with conduction. In addition, the guiding force can also be used to strengthen the flesh of living beings, which is incomparable to electricity.
In addition, there is a fundamental difference between the power guide and the electrical appliance, that is, the power guide can absorb elemental energy from the surrounding environment to supplement its own consumption. For the last decade, Reilly has been researching the working principle of the power guide, trying to apply it to the field of construction.
"Well, the theoretical knowledge is considered to be qualified. Reilly nodded and said, "Let's start the field training." ”
"Field training, is this any different from the previous training?" Astelle asked.
"In the past, the main purpose of the training was to teach some theoretical knowledge, so that you could have a general impression of the work of guerrillas. Reilly smiled and said, "However, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth." So, I'm going to take you to experience the work of a real guerrilla. ”
That is to say...... Don't you have to sit at a desk and bury your head in a book?" said Estelle excitedly.
"Estelle's head can't remember anything anyway. Reilly smiled playfully and said, "So let's change the way of teaching, so that you can use your body to memorize the main points of the guerrilla's work." ”
"Hehe, saved~" Estelle automatically ignored the first half of Reilly's sentence and said, "If it's sports or something, it's much easier than reading." ”
"Suddenly I was in good spirits, Estell. Joshua laughed.
"I hope you can keep the momentum going. Reilly waved his hand and said, "So, let's go to the first internship location." ”
"Good!" replied Estelle loudly.
Once downstairs, Reilly told Joshua and Estelle, "The first project was to confirm the work. Until then, there is something to be handed over to you. Then, he looked at the blonde behind the counter and asked, "Aina, are you ready?"
"Well, it's ready. Aina smiled and nodded.
Estelle instantly came to the counter and asked eagerly, "Sister Aina, what do you want to give us?"
"It's something very important, don't lose it. With that, Aina took out two pamphlets and gave them to Joshua and Estier.
"This is the guerrilla manual, which you can use to record some details of your work. Whether it is information you hear from others or problems you encounter in your work, you must record it in detail. Reilly took out his guerrilla manual from his pocket and said, "Even a few humble clues could be the key to your mission." ”
"Understood. "Cut, it's really troublesome......"
"Why did I hear only one answer?" Reilly said, touching his chin.
"Aha, ahaha......" Estelle let out a smirk as she tried to fool her around.
"It may feel like a hassle at first, but you have to get used to it anyway. Reilly said solemnly.
"Okay~ I see. Estelle said listlessly.
"So, let's prove it with practical actions. Reilly pointed to a few planks in the doorway and said, "See the bulletin board over there? ”
Hearing this, Estelle and Joshua walked over to the bulletin board.
"The Monster of Milk Street...... Joshua, let's go!" the girl said excitedly, glancing toward the bulletin board.
"Estelle, you're mistaken. The boy pointed to another bulletin board and said, "That's our job." ”
Estelle looked down Joshua's finger and saw that it read:
On-site training and recycling
Client: Reilly
Duration: Long
Reward: 500 meters
Contents: Search the underground waterways, retrieve the contents of the chest, and give them to the delegator.
"Well, this task seems to be boring. Estelle sighed in disappointment, and the two ponytails on the back of her head drooped.
By the time she complained, Joshua had already put the work in the manual.
"It is also an important duty for partisans to constantly confirm commissions on bulletin boards. Reilly smiled and said, "You two, you must remember." ”
"With so many responsibilities, just listening to it feels like it's going to suffocate. Estelle rubbed her head and said.
"Because the guerrillas have the important task of defending the citizens!" Joshua said with a smile.
"Hmm. The girl nodded vigorously and said, "From today onwards, I will also try to adapt to this kind of work." ”
"Hehe, are you already conscious?" asked Reilly, smiling.
"Yes, no problem at all!" replied Estelle aloud.
"So, let's move on to the next step. ”
"What's going on this time?" asked Joshua.
"That's the most important final exam, of course!" said Reilly, smiling.
"Exam, exam?" Estelle's eyes widened in surprise.
"Wouldn't you have forgotten about it?" Joshua looked at Estelle depressedly and said, "I just told you this morning." ”
"Uh...... I think I've heard you say that...... However, I don't remember it anymore. Estelle touched her head and said embarrassedly.
"Alas...... You're such a boy who lives up to expectations. Reilly sighed and said, "Forget it, the details are aside for the time being, let's go to the examination room quickly." ”
"Hey?!—so fast?!" Estelle exclaimed, "Wait, wait, I'm not ready yet......"
"Alright, alright, come with me obediently. Joshua, take Estelle's hand and don't let her run. With that, Reilly walked out of the Guerrilla Association.
"Joshua, you remember for me!"
