According to Maria, 4 minutes and 33 seconds is an effective skill gauge.

One large ship.

The first five serious offenses.

And here comes the AS 100 pouring out of it.

Even though the pilots and crew members on board are all AI, it is said that the difficulty is made up of veteran elite soldiers from the 12 Constellation Colonies.

So they say it is often used in Taurus simulations.

Sometimes, as a testing ground to test their new weapons.

Sometimes, it is a place to show character to shatter the self-esteem of those who pride themselves on being ace pilots.

And sometimes, it is a ‘cheat’ experience that draws on all the resources that can be implemented in a simulation simulator and reproduces it.

The last part may make you wonder if there is any point in doing it that way, but it only has meaning in very rare cases.

First of all, for now the first and second situations make sense.

“It’s a shame.”

Green Camp Team A, and even Natalia.

“Everyone, shooting down one medium-sized ship was the end.”

Although there were differences in the AS achieved by each pilot, their cockpits were hit after shooting down a medium-sized ship.

“This is a scam!”

“Jesse, calm down. Are you saying something like that while flying an A-class aircraft?”

“This is the result even though I controlled it! This doesn’t make sense!”

“…Jesse. Accept it calmly. If you did it three times and the results were the same, it’s just that.”

Jesse argued with his results as if he was not convinced, but no one could support him.

Because your feelings are hurt?

no.

“Suggested student? I need to learn more in many ways~”

“Ugh…!”

“Sense was good. However, if you were to charge into the enemy lines alone, wouldn’t you need to be able to completely control the rear? If it had been a real fight, I would have died all 3 times~”

“Keuuuugh…!”

As Maria said, Jesse tried three times and was shot down all three times.

It was a very unfortunate attempt in many ways, as they tried to do that by taking up the time of the people behind them.

“The student who lasted the longest was Andy. The person who shot down the most enemies was Ensign Natalia. Hmm, are you all excited about the future? Especially….”

Maria looked at the battle report and turned her eyes to the person who was just lowering his head without saying a word.

“Jace? Would you like to change jobs to a sniper?”

“…….”

Greencamp, 03. J.S.

Although he seemed to be the weakest student, he showed enough combat results to whet Maria’s appetite.

“Aiming at the bridge of a large ship with a beam rifle from such a long distance. If we had penetrated the bridge’s ether shield, we would have definitely been able to shoot it down.”

“But, I couldn’t do it.”

“Okay. It was a problem with the rifle’s output, but the sniping itself was amazing, right? Have you been a sniper before?”

“Oh, no. That’s…”

Jace pointed to the mock simulator capsule.

“Instructor Aria recommended it, so I practiced a few times whenever I had time…”

Pushyyy

The entrance to the simulator opens, and smoke flows out of the capsule.

“…hu.”

Aria, who was drenched in sweat, sighed deeply and soon came out, holding the simulator with trembling hands.

“…hehe.”

Maria’s eyes sparkle as if she has found new prey.

“Mr. Aria. Are you planning on coming to Taurus?”

“…I am Virgo’s ace.”

“Aren’t there quite a few people coming to Taurus from Virgo Colony?”

“Still, I plan to return to my hometown. How much did you get?”

Aria asks calmly, and Maria clicks her tongue in disappointment and taps the terminal.

“9 minutes 57 seconds.”

“…write.”

“Oh my. Isn’t it time to feel so sad? Breaking through the top 10 is enough to qualify as an ace pilot?”

Arya committed.

In a battlefield filled with 5 medium-sized ships, 1 large ship, and 100 AS units, he not only survived, but also showed off his skills by shooting them all down.

“Well, it’s definitely unfortunate that Virgo Colony’s [Pure White Bride] is taken out and that score is.”

“…….”

“Oh my. Don’t look at us like that when you use our data? You said you exchanged data with Taurus and Virgo through a technological partnership? The others may be the latest model, but the data on Virgo’s S-class aircraft is from 7 years ago. Isn’t that right?”

Maria stimulates Aria by speaking in detail as if explaining.

“It’s a shame. His skills are this good, but he lost his place as ace to his younger brother.”

“Stop.”

“Stop? under. Did I say something wrong or something wrong? What the entire universe knows. The reason you went to Starlight Colony as an instructor was because you lost your position to your younger brother, right?”

Perhaps she had given up on recruiting Aria, but Maria stimulated her pride by gently scratching her.

“…Cloud instructor.”

Aria ignored Maria and came towards me.

“Please analyze the results separately later.”

“Any feedback is welcome. Congratulations, Instructor Aria.”

“What is it? Mr. Cloud. You weren’t such a kind person, were you?”

“As I got older, I also became more toxic, and it is basic to be polite to people who fight much better than me.”

“…Aren’t you listening to me?”

“Me? why. Why?”

I turned my back to Aria and stood directly with Maria.

“Instructor Aria is my coworker and a colleague in the same special forces unit.”

“…Cloud.”

“You know very well how I feel about my colleagues, so I hope you don’t talk like that.”

“…….”

Maria bites her lower lip.

“Good. Instead, this is the end of the number of clears. Today’s count is over.”

“Yes? wait a minute. There is still one person…”

“How many times did the students do that? How much simulator resources does it consume? There is a degree of power overload. If it explodes, will you take responsibility?”

“Ugh….”

Team A, especially Jessie, looks at us with apologetic faces.

“I’m fine! You can do it later if you have a chance!”

The only one who couldn’t participate was Lavender.

“And I haven’t even decided what aircraft to use yet. Hehe…”

“Now that I think about it, did Lavender begin pilot classes in earnest after starting the academy?”

“Yes!”

Lavender responded vigorously to Maria’s answer.

It’s not that Maria is interested in Lavender and is trying to go over to Taurus.

“If you get a chance tomorrow, thank you!”

Although he did not get the opportunity today, it was an expression of his strong will to take on the challenge tomorrow.

* * *

After a while.

“The pure white bride is Virgo’s decisive weapon, right?”

“Yes.”

While Aria and the students went to wash up, I decided to talk with Lavender in the break room while analyzing the students’ simulation videos.

“A guardian gas containing most of the colony’s resources. A guardian weapon base that does not assume going to another colony or leaving the colony itself.”

“Should this be called real or super?”

“It should be seen as a super-type AS with the appearance of a bride.”

Virgo’s decisive weapon, the pure white bride.

A humanoid AS whose upper body is slender and whose lower body looks like a woman wearing a wedding dress.

The fighting style of giving up mobility, firing etheric bombardments at the flying flies, and cutting down battleships with the giant battleship held in one’s hand has inspired many super robots.

Worried about AS breaking?

– Reduces mobility to the extreme and puts all that mobility into the gloves!

All you have to do is make it so that it doesn’t break or even get hurt!

“A thousand years ago, when humans still lived only on Earth. It is said that at that time, humans made plate armor and waged war.”

“Are you wearing something like an ether shield over your entire body?”

“It’s like wearing a thick iron plate.”

ruined.

To use it as an analogy, in this universal century, the Earth substitution method does not work for children born in space.

“…Red Moon, I made it similar to the current one.”

“Ah!”

Lavender understood right away.

“But it can’t move as fast as the red moon, right?”

“Okay. So it’s ‘now’.”

we saw

When Fenrir and the Red Moon briefly battled, the Red Moon slowly but gradually caught up with Fenrir’s ultra-fast movement.

The red moon is not slow.

Rather, it is on the fast side.

The armor is hard, the amount of ether is almost infinite, and I’ve already taken all of the 74 strategy battles…

If that energy is used for booster output, even if it is not instantaneous acceleration, ultra-long distance movement will be superior to anyone else.

“Hmm…. I tried to use it as a reference, but I don’t think it would fit.”

Lavender tilted her head and pushed the report aside.

“Then, I have no choice!”

Then, he spread his arms towards me.

“I have no choice but to leave my body to the instructor.”

“It’s probably not the body, but the clothes.”

“Ah, it’s clothes! Finally?!”

“…Since you are talking about AS, would you please refrain from saying things that passers-by may misunderstand?”

Fortunately, the passing crew members were Taurus android crew members, but if anyone had actually heard me, my reputation would have been heading towards the abyss.

“Lavender. Are you asking me to designate an aircraft that suits you?”

“Yes!”

“Why don’t you try to find it yourself?”

“Well, it would be awkward to do that anyway, and I thought wearing what the instructor decided would cling to my body?”

“Don’t you know your body best?”

“Wouldn’t it be different now?”

Lavender smugly pats the base of her neck with her hand.

“You know much better than me. I don’t mind any aircraft!”

“…Hmm, really?”

If so.

“Let me recommend one aircraft that is most suitable for ultra-fast movement and mobile strikes.”

“……Hey, instructor?”

“Why.”

“This is….”

“This is the outfit I recommend the most and suits you best.”

I also know best.

“I’ll fit you into clothes that fit your body well.”
