My machine combat simulator has come true

"Tsk. Can't you grasp it properly...?"

Sitting in Adler's cockpit, Yu Xiao, who was holding the joystick tightly, clicked his tongue unwillingly.

Sure enough - not used to it.

After hours or so of training, he realized:

Although the consciousness of fighting and the idea of ​​tactics are still in his mind as before——

But the manipulation equipment, after all, has changed from the handle to the real cockpit.

This made Yu Xiao get started quickly - but in a short period of time, it was still difficult to adapt to the difference brought about by the change of operation method, resulting in always being unable to keep up with the instructions at critical moments.

Fortunately-

It's much like a novice driver who has lost his memory but retains his common sense and natural intelligence should behave.

"Relax. As the saying goes, haste makes waste... Besides, as a novice, aren't you doing a good job?..."

So not only did not cause any complaints.Instead, Aiji also spoke out to persuade him.However, at this moment...

Boom!There was an explosion that shook the eardrums.

...whose attack was it?

Bad thoughts come to mind first.Yu Xiao manipulated Adler, and suddenly turned his gaze to where the bullet hit.

…No.wrong.Then he made an accurate judgment.

Because the few rounds of ammunition hit, what rose up was not flames and explosions.

It's the birds rising up, really gorgeous colorful dust and smoke.

In other words, this is not a live ammunition, but a paintball with fuel attached to the non-lethal warhead, which is specially used for exercises.

Then, the real identity of the opponent should be the opponent who is going to have a simulated battle with him.

"...Oh. I still like to make such a big show like I always do."

Beside Yu Xiao who was thinking like this, Ai Ji's words with no nervous expression became the best evidence.

However, Yu Xiao could not help but be slightly surprised by the following conversation.

"...I'm still leading the students. If you want to lead him to hell, can you please come a little--a little later. Guides, adults...?"

"—bringing in hell? . . . ha. What are you talking about, Edge?"

The voice of a rough man came from the other end of the communication.

"Did you say that when we met before? We are hell...!"

Chapter 150 Three Showdown, Hell Civil Servants

We are the hell - Yu Xiao is not too familiar with this classic line.

Those are the two protagonists of "Magic God Caesar SKL", Hai Dongjian and Zhenshang Liao's catchphrase, which are loved by fans as "hell civil servants".

In the setting, before they became the drivers of Caesar SKL, they were indeed mercenaries who traveled all over the world.

So... appearing on this occasion seems to be a matter of course.

...It's just that the "sane old man" found him a mock battle target.Could it be this kind of person? !

Yu Xiao was still a little surprised by this fact.

It seems that this small mercenary agency is indeed as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon as Aiji said.

So, what about the airframe that these two people are riding on?Since they should not be the drivers of Kaiser SKL at this moment, it should be something else.

While thinking like this, Yu Xiao turned his head:

Those two machines stood on the high wall surrounding the open-air training ground, with their backs facing the dazzling sunlight. After lowering the contrast of the screen display, Yu Xiao could see their true colors of Mount Lu clearly.

The paint is one blue and one red.The distribution of armor concentrated on the upper body, the unique strip-shaped optical display on the huge head, and the peculiar feet with the appearance of bird claws under the inverted feet.

There is no doubt that it is IPP-66305, "Hugo" in "Iron-Blooded Orphans".

As an old-fashioned airframe using the so-called "hexagonal frame", low defense and high mobility are the characteristics of this type of machine.

It also has a variety of armament options.

According to Yu Xiao's observation, the red machine that Hai Dong took was equipped with a fighting weapon "Destruction Great Sword" that was almost the size of a mobile suit.The real cyan machine is equipped with an alloy battle ax and two pistols——

It is exactly the same as the favorite weapon when they boarded Kaiser SKL in the original work.

At this time, the dialogue led by Edge is still going on:

"...Okay. So when are you two planning to start the mock battle?"

"Ah. Time?"

"Yes. According to the set time, I can continue to adjust the training plan..."

Regarding Aiji's speech, Makoto interrupted it with a soft snort.

"Then you don't have to."

"…what?"

"Because - if you want to talk about the time, it's now. Come on, the sea moves!"

"Oh!... It's not bad to kill each other affectionately!"

It was just the next second of an uplifting response.

The two Hugos volleyed together in neat movements, rushing into the field with all their strength.

Even though it has been lightened, it still raises the misty dust in the field.

"The combat format is two-on-one. Shooting weapons are loaded with non-lethal paintballs, and combat equipment is allowed to be used as usual-but direct attacks on the opponent's cockpit are prohibited. No objection to this rule, rookie?"

[Recommended, changing the source app to chase books is really easy to use, download it here and try it quickly. 】

Then, the real voice explaining the situation came from the communication channel.

"…clear."

After Yu Xiao settled his mind, he nodded.

But just responded...

"Okay! Then I'll bluntly go—!"

Accompanied by shouts of excitement for some reason, the red Hugo controlled by Haidong waved the giant sword of destruction in its hand, and rushed towards Adler.

Facing the approaching Hugo, Yu Xiao made the most direct response.

That is a frontal block.

After slightly lowering his posture, he pulled out the combat saber stored in the scabbard on his shoulder, and Adler held it tightly with both hands, and placed the blade in front of him.

Follow up to read where the enemy's attack is coming from - and then counter it!

boom!The swords collided fiercely, sparks burst out, and then the two retreated a little, each reorganizing their stances.

It seems that although there is no propulsive blessing, with Adler's stable posture and large body, it can balance Hugo's stormy blow.

...This is of course also the result of Yu Xiao's tactics after analyzing and comparing the differences in the performance of the two bodies and considering the conditions in which he is still in the adaptation period.

And after stabilizing the figure, the additional nozzle behind Adler's skirt armor is fully powered immediately.

Attacking from the back, Yu Xiao manipulated the body to rush forward, assuming a chasing stance.

"Hey... did you do a good job?"

But facing the aggressive Yu Xiao, Haidong still didn't panic at all.

On the contrary, there was a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.

"However. It's still too tender...!"

The anchor claws on both sides of Hugo's waist suddenly shot out.The goal goes straight to Adler's right hand.

...Are you planning to launch a surprise attack with the help of this unexpected armed force?

It might be a bit sudden for those who saw this machine for the first time—but fortunately, Yu Xiao had already learned this information from the sidelines.

So he naturally expected this move.

The thruster changed direction and flashed to the side, and Adler gently avoided a fluke.Make it tightly embedded in the wall behind the practice field.

Facing the other one that followed, Yu Xiao manipulated the body to swing the blade in his hand to block it.

Then he turned around, wanting to continue dealing with Hugo's body.

——but found that the other party rushed into his eyes faster than expected.

"What...could it be!"

And Yu Xiao immediately understood.It turned out that the other party never thought of using the grappling hook to make a surprise attack from the very beginning.

He just planned to use this trick to make Yu Xiao make a mistake in judgment.

Then, with the help of the grapple hook, he could move over faster...!

——Unfortunately, it is too late now.

I was a little unfamiliar with the real cockpit for the first time, and there was a mistake in judgment...

At this time, Yu Xiao, although he knew what to do in his mind, his body's reaction was a step behind.

Just as Adler made an evasive movement, Hugo grabbed his head tightly with the eagle claws on his feet!

Then he was brutally pushed to the ground——

Despite the shock absorbing device, the impact from the cockpit gave Yu Xiao a hard hit.

Then, Hugo jetted forward non-stop, dragging Adler to accelerate continuously.

It seems that they want to push Adler... directly onto the wall of the practice field!

***

And on the other side of the practice field.But there was no gunpowder smoke or gunshots.

Edge's Kiner and Makoto's Hugo have been standing face to face from the very beginning.

"...you seem to admire the newcomer, Edge."

It wasn't until Zhenshang spoke in a deep voice that there was no interaction between the two.

"Ah. Is that so?...Oh. After all, I was the one who picked him up and persuaded him to take this path. You have to take some responsibility."

"...It's really a rare sense of responsibility for you. So, do you think... that boy, can he win under the hands of Hai Dong?"

Facing Masami's questioning, Aiji shrugged.

"...It's very difficult. If you want me to watch it... at most, it will last for about 3 minutes."

"Really?—I don't think so."

"Oh?... What's the best idea for the real brother?"

"There is something intriguing in that boy's actions."

Really smiled.

"He has the power he has obtained long ago—but, he doesn't know how to use it. Now, it's not so much 'learning'. It's more like 'awakening'..."

Looking at Adler who was fiercely swinging his blade with Hugo, Mama continued to whisper.

"It's hard to say, that boy is the same as you and me."

"...that joke is not funny."

But for this, Aiji showed a serious expression that he would not have on weekdays.

"Besides, that guy has lost all his memories. Even if he was really like us in the past, he was an 'experiment' created by someone who didn't know where for his own ambition..."

"I know. It has nothing to do with him now, right?"

Really nodded slightly.

"So I just mentioned it casually. So, next... it's time for us to move too, Edge?"

"Do it... Huh?! You proposed to practice one-on-one, so you didn't want to paddle?!"
