The next day, Instructor Knox led 50 students to the school's shooting gallery for shooting practice.As a soldier, his own shooting level must meet the standard, so that he can display a higher level when manipulating the mech in the future.

Knox stood in front of the queue and said with a serious expression: "The next three days will be shooting training. Today is the first stage. Each person shoots ten times in a row. If all ten times are above 8.5, they are considered qualified. Qualified students can Go back to rest early, and the students who can't do it will practice here until they pass!"

Lin Yuan used to play shooting games on the Internet. It was the first time he held this exquisite and light particle gun in his hands, and he was so excited that he was eager to try it.After Instructor Knox gave an order, Lin Yuan immediately raised the particle gun in his hand, aimed at the target and started shooting.

8.9, 8.6, 8.8, 8.0...

Too bad, if the ring is lower than 8.5, it will be recalculated.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, adjusted the position of his arm, and started a new round of shooting.

8.6, 8.5, 8.3...

Continue to do it all over again.

Fortunately, this kind of particle gun for practice does not need to be loaded, but uses energy to control the particle beam. An energy box can shoot about 1000 particle beams, which is enough for students to practice all morning.

Lin Yuan was shooting at the target seriously, when he suddenly heard Instructor Knox say, "Cesar, you can go back!"

Everyone: "..."

一群人同时扭头看向西泽的方向，只见他头顶的记分牌上，赫然写着十发子弹的射击数据——9.7、9.6、9.8、9.6、9.8、9.6、9.7、9.6、9.8、9.9。

Not only Lin Yuan was stunned, but the other students were also shocked!

This level is comparable to professional shooters, right?

Ten shots in a row were all above 9.5, and what was even more exaggerated was that the last shot actually scored a high score of 9.9!You must know that the psychological pressure will be greater as you go to the back of the continuous shooting, especially the last link, it is easy to make mistakes due to nervousness.

Not only was Nishizawa unaffected, but he calmly shot a good score of 9.9 in the last shot...

Lin Yuan looked at the roommate next to him in admiration, and happened to meet Caesar's gaze.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Caesar put down his pistol, took off his earmuffs, walked to Lin Yuan's side, and asked softly, "How are you?"

Lin Yuan said: "It's not very stable, I need to practice again."

Caesar looked up at the scoreboard, held Lin Yuan's arm from behind, lifted it up slightly, adjusted his posture, and then leaned into his ear and whispered: "Don't be nervous, shut up!" Take a deep breath in your eyes and calm yourself down. Don't look at the score on the scoreboard in the middle of the shot, and shoot every shot seriously by your own judgment and feeling."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Well, I know, let me practice again."

Caesar smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll go back first, I still have something to do today."

Lin Yuan waved to him, "Well, goodbye!"

Caesar turned and left the shooting gallery, just in time to bump into Brian who came out of the shooting training room next door.

Brian walked over with a smile and patted Caesar on the shoulder, and said triumphantly, "This kind of training is really boring. I knew how to play it when I was 13 years old. You have finished it too, right?"

"Yeah." Caesar nodded, "Since you have completed the training mission, are you free all day?"

Brian stretched his arms and rubbed the back of his neck, "Yeah, I'm on vacation all day, so boring..."

Caesar said, "Come and do me a favor if you're bored."

Brian lowered his arms and looked back at him suspiciously, "Do you still need my help?"

Caesar turned around and said, "Come on, follow me to a place."

※※※※※

In order not to attract attention, Caesar and Brian went to the school gate and took a suspension car to go out together. They didn't get out of the car until they were far away from the military base, and summoned Bai Yu.

Caesar let Brian walk into Bai Yu's cockpit together, and Bai Yu found that there was another person in his cockpit, and couldn't help asking: "Master, you brought someone into my cockpit again! This is not Outsider?"

Brian greeted him with a smile, "Hi Xiaobai, it's me."

Seeing that it was Brian, Bai Yu immediately turned into a white feather and fluttered in front of Brian excitedly, "Boob, what happened to the ending of the TV series I watched last time? Tell me quickly!"

"Your favorite supporting actor died," Bryan said.

Bai Yu said depressedly: "Why is this happening? Obviously the supporting actor is more gentle and affectionate!"

Brian said: "I also think that the character of the supporting actor is more like me, gentle and affectionate."

Caesar: "..."

A shameless friend and a shameless mecha, staying with these two guys really requires a strong ability to withstand stress.

Nishizawa ignored the two guys, found out the 3D navigation map, and assigned a destination coordinate to Bai Yu.

It was the Salman Forest, which was far away from the military base. The surrounding area of ​​the forest was desolate, and the forest was densely wooded. It was difficult for anyone to hide the mecha here.

Because during the refitting period, the mech's intelligence system must be completely shut down, just like when a human being undergoes surgery must be completely anesthetized. There is no way to transform into the space button, so find a safe place to put it down.

Nishizawa selected a large open space inside the forest, let Bai Yu land, and then released Suzaku from the space button.

When Brian saw this mecha, his eyes widened in shock, "This...can't be Suzaku?"

Caesar nodded: "That's right, it's Suzaku."

"..." Brian looked at the huge red mecha in front of him, and was speechless for a long time.

When I was a child, I often heard Suzaku's name from my grandfather.As a famous mech maker in the empire, Aston Behe ​​has actually only built four S-class smart mechs. The first is the Lion King of His Majesty Trande, and the second is the Black Dragon of Marshal Rosen. The third is Suzaku of General Ling Yu, and the fourth is White Feather of Prince Nishizawa.

Since the completion of the white feather production, Mr. Aston has been in poor health, so he stopped working.

It takes time and effort to manufacture an S-class mech. From the design of the blueprint to the assembly of the parts, every step must be done with the most accurate calculations. A difference of 0.1 millimeters may lead to failure.Brian has seen all three mechas, Lion King, Black Dragon, and White Feather, but the legendary Suzaku, he has only seen blueprints but never the real body.

From conception to finalization of Suzaku's design drawings, grandpa revised them no less than a hundred times. When Brian saw the finalized drawings for the first time, he even felt that the complexity was like a book.

Suzaku is the work that makes grandpa most satisfied and proud. Unfortunately, because its owner violated the military regulations and was executed, Suzaku was also imprisoned and imprisoned.

——Unexpectedly, I actually had the opportunity to see it!

Brian couldn't hold back his excitement, and walked up to Suzaku to watch it carefully—it was indeed the most satisfying work made by his grandfather, and the matching of large and small parts on Suzaku's body was simply perfect!

Brian looked at Suzaku carefully, and then turned around and asked, "Cesar, why is Suzaku in your hands?"

Caesar briefly told Brian about Suzaku's situation.

Brian said in shock: "...downgrade?! Are you kidding me?"

Suzaku suddenly said: "Bryan, please, I don't want to be locked up again after being found out. Downgrading to C-level can hide the eyes and ears of those people. Even if the Mecha Association comes to investigate, there will be no evidence."

"..." Hearing Suzaku's voice for the first time, Brian couldn't help being stunned.

The voice data collected by the sound system that Grandpa installed for Suzaku at that time was on the soft side. Suzaku's voice sounds so gentle and pleasant that it makes people feel soft, unlike Bai Yu, whose joyful and jumping voice makes people want to beat it.

Seeing that Brian was wavering, Caesar hurriedly said, "This is the situation. Since you already know the secret, you can only help me, right? Anyway, if I am the mastermind, you will become an accessory."

Brian: "..."

To have such a "informal" prince friend is really frightening as if living on the tip of a knife!

Brian was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded, "Although I know the principle, I have never downgraded a mecha by myself. Suzaku is still S-level, and its internal structure is very complicated... I have to go back and look up some information. A mistake could directly destroy Suzaku."

Caesar nodded, "Let's go back later to check some information. These three days happen to be shooting training. If you pass the test in advance, you can go on vacation directly. Take advantage of these three days to do all the preparations, and then you can only sneak in at night. Out."

Brian couldn't help but look up at Caesar: "You really have planned it for a long time? You even counted the time?"

Caesar shrugged helplessly: "There is no way, since I decided to save Suzaku, I can only take a risk. Fortunately, you, who have been playing with mechas since childhood, helped me."

Bryan immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't give me a high hat, most mecha makers will find a way to upgrade the mecha, no one will downgrade the mecha, and very few mechas are willing to take the initiative to downgrade themselves... …This is also my first attempt.”

Caesar said honestly: "I believe in your level."

Brian was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Since you insist on complimenting me, I'll accept it. Actually, I also quite believe in my own level."

Caesar: "..."

The two settled Suzaku, and it was already lunch time. Caesar called Bai Yu out and explained: "Bai Yu, for the next month, Brian and I will spend time here every day to modify Suzaku. During the modification period, Suzaku's intelligence center must Close it, you stay by Suzaku's side to avoid accidents."

Bai Yu immediately said excitedly: "I know! It's great to be the bodyguard of the senior! I will complete the task with honor, don't worry, master!" After finishing speaking, he turned into a huge flying bird and stood majestically next to Suzaku , with one wing shamelessly resting on Suzaku's body, assuming a protective posture.

Suzaku: "..."

Suzaku shut himself off immediately.

Caesar said: "Besides me and Brian, there are strangers who want to touch Suzaku, do you know what to do?"

Bai Yu hurriedly said: "I know, blow him to pieces immediately!"

Caesar nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, then you can stay here and guard, Brian and I will go back first."

After the masters had left, the surroundings became quiet, and Bai Yu said excitedly: "Senior Suzaku, we are the only ones left, let's talk! When Mr. Aston made me, he always mentioned you. Name, he said that you are his most satisfied and favorite mecha, I have always wanted to meet you, you are really beautiful, red is so beautiful!"

"Our intelligence systems are all the same. I invaded your intelligence center that day and saw a lot of bad memories from the past. It's really pitiful that you have been imprisoned for so many years. Fortunately, the master rescued you. Senior, don't Worry, you will have a new master in the future, and me, I will protect you too!"

Bai Yu couldn't help being a little shy when he said this. After waiting for a long time, he found that Suzaku hadn't responded at all. Bai Yu couldn't help but looked over in doubt, and immediately stayed where he was: "Why...you turned off the phone?"

Suzaku said: Turn off the phone, I can't hear anything, happy to be quiet!

※※※※※

Brian called Xiaolan out as a means of transportation.

Although Xiaolan was rated as a D-level mecha by the Mecha Association, there are many indicators in the rating of a mecha, including attack capability, the number of cold weapons and light energy bombs carried, etc. Although Xiaolan's attack power tends to be It's close to 0 points, but its reaction speed is not slow at all.

It was the first time for Caesar to be in Xiaolan's cockpit. Compared with Bai Yu's chatter and evasiveness, Xiaolan was obviously much more obedient.It has been with Brian for so many years, and it can still keep the intelligence center calm, which is really not easy.

Bryan checked Xiaolan's intelligence center and said excitedly: "By the way, Caesar, after your reminder today, I suddenly thought that Xiaolan can actually be upgraded. Its intelligence system should be able to reach A-level or above. It’s just that the hardware equipment didn’t keep up, so it was evaluated as D-level by the Mecha Association.”

Caesar said: "The ratings of the Mecha Association are just superficial. Moreover, those evaluation standards are too rigid and haven't changed for hundreds of years. You were too young and immature when you made Xiaolan. You can do it again when you have the opportunity. Modify it."

Bryan nodded and said: "Well, I also think, go back and study how to upgrade, I'll see which parts of Xiaolan can be modified. First remove its hands and legs, it should be more flexible to use another material .”

Xiaolan: "..."

Is it really okay for you to discuss directly in front of the smart mecha how to remove its hands and feet?

※※※※※

Brian and Caesar spent the whole afternoon looking up materials in the library on the 15th floor. Both of their ID cards had the highest access authorization, so many confidential materials that were not open to the public could be easily found.The real wealth of the St. Romia Library is on the 10th-15th floors. The massive amount of precious books and confidential documents is simply dizzying.

Brian was very efficient when he was serious. It took him an afternoon to sort out all the materials he needed on mecha modification and parts disassembly, and directly copied them out of the library with his optical brain.

It was dinner time, and when the two went downstairs side by side, they happened to meet Snow who was reading in the medical library on the fifth floor.

Snow obviously just finished copying the information and came out from the fifth floor. There was a Beta girl beside him, who was talking to Snow with a smile.

Brian greeted with a smile, "Hi, Snow, what a coincidence."

Seeing Brian and Caesar coming down the stairs, Snow asked with some doubts, "Are you going upstairs to read?"

There are many books on history and social science above the sixth floor. What are the two of them doing upstairs?

Brian hurriedly explained: "No, we went to the fifteenth floor to check some information."

"..." Snow fell silent.Many confidential materials on the 1th floor and above need to activate the corresponding permissions before they can be viewed. It is more complicated to apply for permissions with the crystal card issued by the school. Most students only open it when they are about to do graduation project design. After all, floors 10-[-] It is more than enough to deal with the daily study of the books and materials.

Unexpectedly, Brian and Caesar actually opened the permission. They are both first-year students. It makes no sense to have permission as soon as they enter the school. Obviously, this is their own ID card. The family backgrounds of these two Alphas are obviously very different. Simple.

Seeing that Snow was silent, Brian glanced at the girl next to him, and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

Snow came back to his senses, and introduced: "This is my girlfriend, Shirley." After finishing speaking, he put his arms around the girl's shoulders pretending to be intimate and said, "These two are my roommates, Xie Lier from the command department. Ze, Brian from the engineering department."

The beauty Shirley, who has a proud figure and big wavy hair, smiled gracefully and said, "Hello."

Caesar said politely, "Hello."

Brian: "..."

I feel bad!

Shirley obviously sensed a strong sense of hostility from Brian, and looked at him suspiciously, then, took Snow's arm, turned and left.

Brian looked at their backs, and the unhappiness in his heart doubled tenfold!

Caesar was silent for a moment, and then said: "I really didn't expect that Snow moved so fast. He found a girlfriend after only a week of school... He has a good eye, and this Shirley is quite beautiful."

However, Caesar was a little puzzled, if Snow was really an Omega...it wouldn't be suitable for him to find a Beta girl as his girlfriend, right?Shouldn't he find an Alpha boy to spend the estrus period?

Caesar stood there thinking, completely unaware that the eyes of Brian next to him were about to burst into flames.

When the two were having dinner together, they saw Shirley walk into the dining hall holding Snow's arm again, and Snow helped her carry the dinner plate in a very gracious manner.Brian's initial anger gradually turned into dejection, his eyes stared at Snow's back sadly, like a big dog abandoned by its owner.

Caesar finally realized something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask, "Brian, what's the matter with you?"

Brian was silent for a moment, before pretending to be serious, he said, "Cesis, what would you do if you found out that you fell in love with someone who was already with someone else?"

Caesar imagined the scene of Lin Yuan being with other people... This is totally unbearable!

"Do you still need to think about it? Of course we have to grab it." Caesar said bluntly, "As long as he is not married and the matter is not a foregone conclusion, everyone will have a fair chance to compete. Why don't you fight for what you like?"

Brian's eyes lit up, "That's right, I thought so too, I wouldn't give him up to others selflessly!"

Brian said firmly in his heart: Snow is mine.

Snow, who was eating with his senior sister, suddenly felt a strange chill on his back.
