The shrine is coming.

Dealing with space pirates, drones that come in periodically, and AI drones seems like a chore, but someone even more serious is coming.

A person who is crazy about AS battles.

To put it mildly, a person whose standards are all set on the fact that he or she is the strongest pilot.

“Couldn’t you tell me to wake up first at 4 minutes and 33 seconds?”

“Anyone who understands such words would have made an unplay by now in Sagittarius Colony by showing off the shrine.”

Lavender said what I wanted to say, but the reality is not easy.

“I made a big splash in the media and got an interview with myself, and based on that, I told people, ‘The shrine does not lose to the paladin,’ ‘Paladin is an old thing, and the shrine is active,’ and ‘The legends of the past should go in.’ He must have said something like that. Either the person concerned comes out in person or plays with the media.”

“Does that person have a bad personality?”

“It’s not that I have a bad personality. He’s just a strange human being.”

People are good.

“In the past, when Shingung was a rookie, he stood on the battlefield with me.”

“…Really?”

“Okay. This is off the record. It’s a past story that has nothing to do with class…”

Did I say that for no reason?

Like a high school girl whose ears prick up when she hears her teacher’s story of her first love, Lavender’s eyes sparkle and she focuses on me as if she will listen at any time.

“Singung is older than me, but when we met just before retirement, I was much more senior than him.”

“If you think about when you debuted, well… right?”

Lavender is also avoided directly mentioned.

That’s normal, and you should always be careful.

Paladin was a child soldier.

Because this is quite a critical part of the entire Space Federation.

‘Mostly women will be destroyed.’

For me, if I just die, it’s the end, but those who reach high positions in various colonies can get into serious trouble.

Being a child soldier is important, but it can also lead to various scandals.

“The Sagittarius colony was once almost destroyed. That was just 7 years ago.”

“…I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

“Of course it is concealed information. Are there many other places other than Sagittarius’ colony that secretly concealed information? There is nothing we can do if the information is revealed to the extent that it cannot be manipulated.”

Danger to the entire universe.

If such things are widely known to the world, honor and fame will soon follow, but unexpectedly, the battles of the Galaxy Unit have been involved in many more unofficial battles than are known to the public.

“If it were said that a battle that would destroy humanity would take place one day, I thought people would fall into pessimism. Imagine a battle to destroy the world taking place every week. What will happen?”

“It must be terrible. No matter how I get through it once, I’m not sure I can survive the next time.”

Although he is alive now.

“Sometimes ignorance is the cure. However, Shingung participated in the war to save his colony, and saw it there.”

“…Instructor?”

“Okay. Me.”

He saw it.

“They saw me riding the Paladin, and the Paladin who climbed the Genesis Tree and led the Sagittarius Colony salvation battle to victory.”

“…It’s a bit awkward to say this, but instructor, you are overflowing with confidence when you talk about Paladins?”

“I can’t talk. If I could, I would have already been watching the U-Tube channel and unraveling the story.”

It’s because I haven’t told anyone about it until now, so even if I were to tell the story of the inside story and process of each battle like a biography, it would get 100 million views.

And you’ll get sued.

Among those involved in the case, there are those who do not want their secrets revealed, and one of them is Sagittarius Colony.

But there is definitely a sense of pride in being active in that way.

“You should be proud. How many times have I saved the world?”

“How many times did you ask?”

“I forgot.”

“…….”

It’s not a joke.

I’m serious.

“Before I was 17, I kept a diary to take care of my mental health and also counted numbers, but later, I stopped counting them because it was too much of a hassle.”

“How many times do you remember?”

“Approximately 53 times?”

“…You said you stopped counting numbers, so did you save the world that much before you were 17?”

“It’s a bit like that when you say it’s the world. To put it more clearly in terms of ‘colony-level salvation,’ I think there were about 13 battles that put the fate of the universe at stake.”

“Space-level battle….”

“Once, I was sucked into the multiverse with members of the Galaxy Unit and became attached to its guardian, but I managed to escape that universe in the nick of time and escape observation.”

It was a really tough fight.

That fight was repeated so many times that I just gave up trying to keep track of how many times I saved the world.

It just felt like an annual or quarterly event.

“The encounter with the shrine was a colony-level battle.”

” Speaking of Sagittarius Colony, wasn’t it a very high level colony level?”

“That’s right. I probably came back then…”

I trace my memories.

It wasn’t really a problem with my memory, but for a moment I was confused as to whether it was ‘2nd’ or ‘3rd’.

“Ah.”

I remembered.

It was the third time.

“In the universe, there are monsters that eat up the ether. Do you know?”

“…I think it’s time to think about the definition of the word monster. Monster?”

“Okay. Monster. There were monsters that were like living creatures. They look similar to Magnolia Bugs, but their internal structure is literally a living thing.”

I fought against all kinds of things.

“It was really hard. And the background to surviving them is…”

Weeing.

Vibration on my wrist.

“Break time is over. The lecture has begun.”

“…Huh?”

“The reason I was able to survive them was due to my personal skills, but I was able to survive thanks to the specifications of the aircraft.”

“Now, wait a minute. When was it time for a break…!”

“It passed. Now, focus.”

Beep beep.

Opens a new screen.

It is a special screen that sparkles with ether light rather than electricity, so it puts less strain on the eyes.

“Using Genesis Water, you can change the shape of the gas into anything. You have to look at the blueprint to know the internal frame and other specific structures, but you can create as many shapes as you like.”

“Me, teacher, instructor?”

“I’m explaining it, do I really need to ask?”

“Well, the story about the instructor…”

“I’ll tell you during break. This is not a part related to the class, so I have to mention the important part first, so I’ll skip it.”

A screen filled with numerous data.

Inside, information about the aircraft that Lavender has flown so far appears side by side.

“Harkon. Harkon revitalizes. Harkon Custom. And a bad omen. If you include what I rode in the mock simulator, it will increase, but for now, I rode the tech tree like this.”

“Are you flying a new aircraft?”

“Well.”

Genesis Water can be transformed into any gas.

“If you just want to ride a new aircraft, another option would be to ride the Harkon successor. However, the aircraft you should ride is one that can beat the aircraft on which Shingung rides.”

“Umm….”

“That was the part you found most difficult.”

Aircraft selection.

This is quite a difficult problem for lavender.

That’s because she was someone who couldn’t even tell the difference between Harkon and Harkon Kai until just half a year ago, and even after becoming a student, she had limitations in choosing the aircraft for herself.

“The current form of Fenrir is geared toward bad omens. Mobile striking type – crossing type.”

“Didn’t you just keep riding it?”

“No. It hasn’t been completely fixed yet.”

The serious problems with Lavender’s aircraft selection have not yet gone away.

“In a conscious state, I have accumulated enough experience to distinguish between friend and enemy.”

Oh my gosh.

In movies, you can see a soldier suffering from PTSD pointing a gun at his allies, thinking they were enemies, but in the past, Lavender was a person who just shot them.

What about now?

It doesn’t shoot.

Instead, it’s a situation where you put pressure on your hand right before pulling the trigger, but then relax your hand when you realize it’s an ally.

That’s ‘normal’, and the current situation is that we don’t know what will happen if an extreme situation arises after entering the battle.

“How did you feel when you went on patrol?”

“…….”

“Let’s talk about it more clearly. The Rafale you broke.”

“Ugh.”

Lavender turned her head and avoided eye contact.

“Hey, that story is…”

” Putting aside the fact that they aimed their guns because they were in the line of fire, it is still true that they suddenly fired anti-gravity bombardment at the Rafale, which was a ‘unmanned aerial vehicle’, just because it was in the line of fire. Isn’t that right?”

“Woo, wow….”

“The Rafale that was destroyed by the ether anti-gravity bombardment must have been in pain. Alex A, who was on board the drone with a brain mattress, must have been in pain as well.”

“Sorry….”

Lavender apologizes.

It’s not something to apologize for and I’m growing, but it’s definitely a bad habit that needs to be broken.

It’s a habit because it’s nice to talk about, but in reality, it’s a serious ‘fault’.

“As always, the shortcomings are covered by the gas.”

“Is there an aircraft that came to mind this time? Or are you just changing the bad omen and using it as a bad omen?”

“Lavender. Did I ask last time? Do you want to fight?”

“Uh, um…”

Lavender stood up and pretended to throw a jab into the air.

“Since joining the academy, I have been steadily training in martial arts three times a week!”

“Alone?”

“Yes! I’m practicing with the augmented reality virtual simulator in my room!”

“…….”

The world has become so much better.

In my time, I learned by doing it myself.

“Then this would be good. If we win this battle with the shrine, we can continue this way.”

I took out one document.

“I’m not using claws, but this will definitely be fine. It looks real, but-”

“No matter who looks at it, it looks super. Hey, that.”

Lavender pointed to the face on the material I took out.

“Why do you have a beard on your face?”

“…….”

I don’t know that either.
