I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary

When I arrived at the reception, there was a harsh man full of old wounds. The left arm is a mechanic prosthesis. Somehow, the mercenary guild suddenly came out.

"Ah? What?" "Rookie. He's doing moguri without registering in the mercenary guild." "Huh? Moguri?" Don't sit down "

Sit at the counter seat as told. Strict uncle is very powerful. A face that you never want to get involved in if you meet in the original world. It is surely visible only to those in dangerous jobs.

"Do you have a boat with a mogul? Tell me your ship name and ID, are you parked on a hanger here?" "Yes." "Utse"

He glares at Elma laughing with his hands on his mouth and feeling like Puks Cousin, but he does not seem to be able to bear it at all. Shit, can't help it. This uncle is scary! The uncle at the reception with a scary face inputs the ship name and ID that I gave to a tablet-like device, and operates for a while.

"What the ship is, what is this guy? I haven't seen it." "Ah, the source is a bit. I guarantee that it's not a stolen boat." "No, I know, but ... It's a violation of manners to pry, it seems like three pirate hunts were hunted four days ago, but that's all, or your messenger record doesn't seem anywhere. " It seemed that he was blown near this colony by something or something, and in fact the memory is not certain because of the effect, and I do not know where this area is, this is "Is this really serious? No problem, no prize money. Oh, you don't have to worry about the wording. If you talk like that, you can be licked by other people. "

It takes courage to ask a guy with such a severe face his mouth ...

"Well, be careful if mercenaries are licked, it's over. Still, I'm still loose." It's a problem if you have

Listening to the conversation between them raised my doubts. So, I will try to hit a question immediately.

"Ah, no. Isn't the ship cheaper? Under these conditions, why wouldn't it become a mercenary today! Isn't there anybody who can become a mercenary right away? How do you secure membership? ? "

I think my question is natural. I've roughly looked at prices in this world, but to buy a decently armed ship, you'll need at least $ 50,000 in energy. Converted to Japanese yen, it is about 50,000 yen. I haven't looked at the average annual income of the people in this world, but I'm sure it's a tremendous amount of money.

"There's a lot of veterans' second lives. They're high paid, they have good skills, and they often choose the second life of mercenaries for battle. "There are other schools for training mercenaries, right?" "Oh, I don't like the star system around here", "Isn't it a surprisingly narrow gate?" "Well. Because it's large, we have enough to meet demand. "

In other words, is there a large number of parameters, so that a certain number of numbers are prepared? Or is there no such thing as a mercenary job? Well, I don't know. Let's be convinced that it is such a thing.

"I'm ready to register. I'm ready for the test." "Test?" "Oh. I don't know what kind of work to do if you don't know how well you are." "How do you do that?" "There is a simulator for training. I'll let you do that." "OK"

The receptionist calls into the back of the office and guides me and Elma to another room from their seats. Why does Elma follow? Elma laughed grinning, noticing my gaze.

"I think I have the right to see what the newcomer's arm I brought is?"

Well, thanks to Elma, mercenary guilds are registering smoothly, and it's unavoidable to see another arm. Rather, it would be nice to have a veteran with five years of mercenary experience see what it is. Listening to your ratings should give you more specific information about your skills.

"here"

The room where the simulator was installed was larger than expected. There are a number of cabinets in the room that seem to be light truck-sized simulators. I mean, it's like you've cut out only the ship's cockpit.

"Choose something close to the cockpit of your ship and get in."

The design of the ship cockpit is quite different depending on the manufacturer. It may be said that the operation system is different. So most ships have cockpit block compatibility. In other words, only the cockpit block can be separated and attached to another ship. This feature was also on Stella Online, so it's familiar to me.

"This is it." "Well, it's a military high-end product. OK, so we'll have it ready.

Looking at the cockpit block I chose, he was a little impressed and went somewhere. Surely there is somewhere to operate the simulator. Elma was suddenly missing. Do you monitor somewhere?

☆ ★ ☆

"Then start the evaluation test." "Okay. What's the data on the aircraft for the test?" "I'm bringing the data of your aircraft. It should be able to be used in almost the same way as the actual machine .... Hey, what's this? "" What? " "I think Krishna's data is okay."

Is something strange? Well, I don't know what kind of reputation Krishna has in this world. I think it should be a pretty strong aircraft based on Stella Online standards.

"Well, good. Because it's a test that evaluates your arm by manipulating your aircraft. The content of the test is simple. Eliminate all enemy aircraft. All ships except you are enemies. At first, the enemy launches a wavy attack, albeit less. The quality will increase and the quantity will increase steadily. " Activate the aircraft. "

The inside of the cockpit becomes dark and only the minimum lights are lit. Do you follow all the operations from the inactive state? I start the main generator with a familiar hand and immediately raise the generator output to combat mode. As if responding, a simulator of an aircraft that imitated Krishna started, and the outer space spread around. It's a real scene. A simulator is a real mess.

`` Unknown affiliation ship appearance, armed online ''

I also put my weapons online and quickly turn the aircraft in the direction that the radar felt. And accelerate at a stretch. The sensation that the body is strongly pressed against the seat is attacked.

"Wow, will the G during acceleration be reproduced properly?"

What kind of tongue demo technology is used? Well, if this world is the same as Stella Online, the gravity generator should exist, and the technology around it will be used. The target appears to be turning and trying to turn its nose toward it while navigating with it. I ate on that side. Four armed arms unfolded from the hull point their aim at the enemy aircraft. When the trigger of the stick was squeezed, four striations flooded the target and pierced the hull with a single blow. The target ship explodes four beats later.

"It's brittle."

The movement was slow, and it looked like a small transport ship with a large cargo capacity. Like this? After that, enemy ships appeared one after another, but all were weak. slow. brittle. This is not different from the target. I don't think I can see my ability.

"Ah, it must be said that this is an evaluation program for new members." "Isn't the difference in performance of the aircraft too severe?" "It's the same, but ... I'll change it to a slightly different evaluation program."

I also tried the following evaluation program. It's definitely better than before, but still slow. weak. It's not much different from the pirate who exploded four days ago.

"I'm too weak and not too chewy." "No, you're a veteran training program." "Haha, joking. Is there something more difficult?" Yeah ... I think this is impossible

This time it was quite chewy. More than 100 pirate ships are attacking all at once from the beginning, and the power of armament is high. But beware of high-powered live weapons and explosive weapons. I'm not so scared because the power of the important laser cannon is weak and the shield does not bounce. The light cruiser class that came out last was quite responsive. After turning into the blind spot, it was my turn all the time.

"I was a bit crunchy" "You're lying"

The uncle is uttering a voice. Perhaps now was the highest difficulty?

"Oh, that. what. The test is over. "

It was easier than I thought. What kind of evaluation will be made ... Well, from the uncle's reaction, it will not be bad. Quickly cut the generator output, stop the simulator and get out of the cockpit. At the exit of the simulator room, Elma was waiting at the reception with an unfamiliar expression. It's an expression that doesn't make sense.

"What's the result of the exam?" "Oh, go back to the counter and talk."

It's kind of like something sandwiched between your back teeth. I guess I could just say the result here. Elma doesn't even know what my face looks like. What is the whole thing? He followed the couple with their inclining necks and returned to their original lobby.

"Well, first of all, it's the test result." "Oh," "Pass," "It was good, but why is it so subtle." "Merchant has a rank system."

Is it an adventurer-ranked thing that you often see in novels from different worlds? Does it suddenly become A rank or S rank? me.

"The combat rank is a direct indication of the mercenary's combat abilities. There are five ranks: iron, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Iron is at the bottom and platinum is at the top. "Well, that's it?" "The last test you did earlier, it's a gold promotion guy." "I see?" "But, how much gold promotion test, but you're suddenly gold. I can't do it "" I understand "

There is no point in suddenly becoming the second rank from the top. This rank system was an element that doesn't exist in Stella Online, so I want to save the pleasure of raising the rank.

"I don't have a track record. Do you understand?" "I understand." "Well, you're bronze for the time being. Provisionally. Raise the data from the simulator you just did, and think that the rank will be fixed after that." "Suddenly give up gold, because there is no pleasure to raise your rank."

I feel like I'm being pulled. Elma keeps sticking my glance at my cheek with a grumpy face. What is it? Am I a newcomer I want to do? Be kinder.

"The rank is provisional for now, but it's officially registered as a mercenary. Now you'll be backed by the mercenary guild and you'll carry the mercenary guild's sign. Don't forget to keep trying." "Is there no explanation for the terms of the member or something like that?"

It's not what you need right now, though it's good. Let's read slowly even tonight.

"So why are the great Elma seniors so bad?" "Silver" "Eh?" "I'm silver in five years"

He turned his gaze to him and said, "While looking away from me."

"Maybe you're going to be silver." "Oh ... huh." I don't even know the right or left now! I'm going to the store, this "senpai" will teach you. "

Sorry the cosmic elf has mended me with my overt praise. What a mess.

"It's amazing, I'm longing." "If it's a map of this colony ..."

He stops at the reception and tries to say something and leaves this place. Stop it, uncle. It would be a hassle if you were in a bad mood. that? No, is it OK if I get a map? Don't think deeply, yeah.
