12 – Chapter 3. Readymade Pilot – 4

– 13 –

“Eriff has a very unique appetite.”

“No. What people don’t know.”

I feel sorry for those who do not know the greatness of soup.

I will try various menus from now on.

We returned to the dormitory for a while and brushed our teeth before going to the auditorium.

Spirit doesn’t gain weight, but he had to brush his teeth regularly.

When you extract the Manastones later, there must be food debris mixed between them……. Researchers are going to be sarcastic while pointing their fingers.

Once again, I got up and left the room. Passing through the hallway, aspiring pilots naturally began to gather.

But the way they looked at me was a little strange. I was looking at it with the eyes of an almost strange animal.

With the exception of Chermia, girls of that age are a bit harsh to deal with. So, I just stared at the ground and stood right next to Cermia.

When I left the women’s dormitory, Shane and other boys were coming out of the men’s dormitory in the building opposite.

Three or three children, who had known each other, gathered and headed to the auditorium. There are groups that have already become friends regardless of gender.

I often go with her, but she got along well with her other kids.

It felt more like I was being taken care of because I was not familiar with it, rather than going together because I was close.

Then, wouldn’t it be okay for me to make close friends too?

I’ll have no choice but to go to the pilot class anyway, so I’ll just have to get acquainted with the kids here in advance.

Fortunately, there were quite a few children who had not yet formed a group. In fact, on the day of the entrance ceremony, not even a seat was assigned, let alone a class. Let’s aim for a good-looking kid among the kids alone.

Just then, I saw a tall girl walking alone. There was a gentle smile typical of a good-natured person on her face.

Talking to a girl was awkward, but now I look like a girl, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

I walked away from Chermia and approached the child.

“Hello.”

“Huh? Oh, hello!”

You seem to be surprised by the sudden conversation. But she immediately accepted her greeting with a smile on her face.

“Pilot?”

“Yes. I am an aspiring pilot.”

I got it right. I felt the need to learn to speak quickly.

“Me too. This is Erif Cruel.”

“Call me Cionel Salaña. She said she had been pointed out by the headmaster earlier, didn’t she?”

Cionel laughed as if having fun. At her words, the children around her whispered little by little.

As she exchanged some miscellaneous stories with Cionel, she reached the auditorium.

“Erif. If it’s okay…….”

Cermia clasped her arms as Cionel was about to offer her something.

“Cionel. We, Erif, don’t know too much about difficult words. Can you tell me?”

“Huh? Oh, nothing.”

Seeing Cermia, Cionel hurried into the auditorium.

She turned her head to see Chermia smiling her hard smile.

“Chermia?”

“Erif. Let’s sit together.”

He was led by Chermia and headed for a chair in the auditorium.

On the way, she grabbed Shane’s sleeve and dragged her without Cermia’s knowledge. Of course, Chermia, who noticed her belatedly, noticed her, so Shane scratched her head and sat in the back seat of her.

It looks like you got scolded because of me.

She apologized to Shane in her heart.

After everyone was seated and checked to see if no one was missing, an image was projected on the wall in front of the auditorium.

There was news coming out.

Oh, it’s Kirst. It was very awkward to see an acquaintance appearing on the news and making a major announcement.

When the principal appeared on the news, the children roared. Was it the announcement you made at the entrance ceremony earlier?

The title at the bottom is 『[Emergency News] New Relic Discovery』

Curst’s announcement followed immediately.

The content was not much different from what I had experienced so far. However, the saying that a humanoid spirit was found in Nara was omitted.

When the Kingdom Army and the Relics Research Center announced that they were in a hurry to interpret the relics, flash baptism poured out when they released the approximate form.

It was a simplified version of the structure of my main body, ‘erifen’. It’s a helicopter with only the lid on, leaving only the minimum driving part.

“Our Kingdom Army and the Relic Research Institute are hastily conducting research and reproduction of this relic. Analysis will be completed in about a year, and then prototype production will begin.”

Reporters raised their hands at Kirst’s words. When Curst pointed to one, the reporter asked a question.

“Then, how many years later will the relics discovered this time be ready for deployment? The threat from neighboring countries is getting worse, will a new relic be a solution to this?”

“It is difficult to predict when the actual deployment will be made right now. As you know, flying relics take a significant amount of time to train a pilot. In particular, this type is expected to require considerable skill to control, so it is expected that it will take time to deploy it.”

「Is the manual found together? In fact, the only place to properly use a flying relic that requires complicated manipulation is in the Canael Kingdom where Arumanan is located.”

When another reporter asked a question, Kirst smiled unknowingly. He said looking straight into the camera.

“Yes. I found a very good manual. However, it will take some time to interpret. Based on this, we plan to train pilots at Celeste Military Academy.”

It was clearly a voice looking at me. I was a living manual.

The flash baptism followed once again at Kirst’s words, and the freshman children shared stories with their eyes shining.

“Erif. What do you think?”

At Cermia’s words, I had no choice but to pretend I didn’t know and tilt my head.

“What?”

“A word from the principal. You can train pilots faster if you teach second-year seniors as they interpret the manual, right? It’s a little burdensome to leave it to us for the first time.”

Manuals are actually information that pops out of my head, but there is no way that it has already been documented.

I just had the first test yesterday, so if it’s already documented, the lab folks would have opened their heads and spread the information while I was sleeping.

In order to create an environment where I can naturally go to and from the institute and participate in classes in this situation, I had gathered the students who would enter the pilot class in advance.

I couldn’t say these things to Cermia, so I chose the most appropriate answer.

“It has not been interpreted yet. There are other relics as well. Seniors are a waste of a year.”

“Yes. Maybe it’s because of that too.

Cermia was convinced and started watching Kirst’s announcement again.

“You might be able to get checks from neighboring countries. In particular, wouldn’t the Holy Kingdom claim ownership?”

“No. It is a relic that was discovered in the territory of Korea and was excavated at an excavation site managed by the Second Kingdom Army.”

The freshmen nodded in admiration at Kirst’s words. That’s actually a scam with Armion and Kirst.

Perhaps the people who worked there were silenced.

「May I know the official name of the relic?」

“The first relic found was in the shape of a carriage with multiple wings, so we decided to call it the code name ‘Seraphim’. And it was written in the manual that a similar type of relic is called a ‘helicopter’.”

I confirmed the manual.

By the way, a new code name was given to the public as they were reluctant to reveal the name of Erifen. I felt like a secret agent somehow.

“Now, let me ask you one last question. The one who raised your hand over there.”

“What role will the new relics play on the battlefield?”

Curst pondered for a moment, then smiled confidently.

“Anything is possible. Attack, destruction, infiltration, transport, reconnaissance and so on. Depending on how you use it, it could become a shinigami on the battlefield.”

Wow. My performance is like that. I didn’t know either.

The video was turned off after Curst finished his presentation.

After a while, a young female teacher in an officer’s uniform from one corner of the auditorium came up to the stage.

“Nice to meet you. Her name is Jereina, who last year she took on the 6th grade pilot class. She’s in charge of you this year.”

Miss Jareina looked around us. The number of aspiring pilots reached nearly a hundred.

“This time, there are more pilots than ever before. That’s a good thing. After all, I drive a tank myself and cook the pots of the enemies… ….”

The teacher, who was excited by waving her arm, coughed in vain as she faced the bewildered faces of her freshmen.

“Hmm! Anyway, the reason I came here is to redistribute the curriculum that was distributed to you before admission because the curriculum has changed. Now, come out in turn from the front and take it.”

I have never received a curriculum before. Curst probably didn’t give it to me, knowing in advance that the curriculum would change.

When I asked Chermia and Shane, it seemed that the class was like taking the classes that the corresponding grade had in common in the morning and taking the classes they wanted in the afternoon.

After taking the major of the desired class, it is essential to take several classes until the end of the second semester of the sophomore year, the last period during which class transfers are possible.

If I only took the pilot major but couldn’t get into the pilot class because of poor grades or lack of friendliness with spirits, I couldn’t go on to the other classes and had to leave the school as it is.

So, aspiring pilots usually take one pilot class and take another major class with safety bread.

As the major is actually the main study, it is difficult to get good grades if you choose several major classes.

But what about me? It looked like a ‘pilot nominee’, like the other kids secretly talking behind the scenes.

I didn’t really want to, but Armion and Curst decided on my own path.

I’m sure I’ll be assigned to the pilot class anyway, so it was a good situation for me to choose one class related to the pilot’s major and take the rest of the classes with easy points.

“Morning classes are common classes for first graders. And you can freely listen to all afternoon classes for a week, confirm over the weekend, and apply for classes during the following Monday. Did everyone know?”

“Yes!”

Teacher Zereina smiled broadly at the students’ answers.

“I don’t have any more schedules than this today, so you can go to class right away or go back to rest. Come on, break up!”

At the teacher’s words, the children came out as if they were waiting.

With Chermia and Shane on either side, I went outside and opened the paper I received. Chermia recites the lessons written on the Monday afternoon timetable one by one.

“It’s half past two right now… …. The afternoon classes you can take today are ‘Practical Etiquette’, ‘War History’, ‘Basic CQC’, and ‘[Ancient Language] Beginner Course on the Study of Elementary Theory’. What is the name of the last class?”

“Ancient?”

It was a familiar feeling and an important word. To my question, Shane fumbled through a page with a description of her class.

“It is literally a language that was used in ancient times, but it is a language created to communicate with spirits and not used by ordinary people, so if you can learn it, you can easily communicate with the spirits. . I guess I have to learn the book ‘Study of the Elementary Theory of Ancient Languages’ written a little later than the ancient times over several years. Ah, so that’s why the class is called that.”

After I found out the meaning of the funny class name, I thought that I had to listen to it unconditionally.

Who am I? Sign. Liver. Affection. Soul.

If it is an ancient language, that class is my home ground. Now that I know a little about the function of the interpreter bracelet, I can turn it on/off whenever I want.

“I’m going to listen to this.”

When I pointed out the ancient language class, Chermia and Shane looked at each other for a moment, then looked at me with a grin at the same time.

Do you mean the two of you who are not good at each other?

They both didn’t say anything, but they knew. You mean, ‘Where can I learn ancient languages because I can’t speak Korean well’?

I did not object to the two who laughed at me.

Results will tell you whether your grades are poor or my grades are poor.

“I need to earn a little bit of points, so let’s hear a war veteran who knows well. Ah, the ancient language starts at 3 o’clock, and the history of war begins at 4 o’clock. I’ll have to go listen to the ancient language with Erif and listen to the history of war.”

She glanced at Shane as Chermia shared her plans. Shane looked through the classes carefully and pointed to the table.

“I am basic CQC. It starts at three o’clock, so I’ll have to move on my own.”

“Hey. Good bye.”

Chermia waved her hand at Shane sullenly and then grabbed my arm and dragged me.

Shane, who was left alone, had a sad expression on her face, so she said as if dragged and tossed.

“See you later in war history.”

Shane opened her eyes slightly wide and then she smiled.

“Yes. See you later.”
