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

Now, why are the aristocrats still swinging flat in this world of laser flying? And why are they feared? It seems to me that this is quite complicated and strange - for a reason.

First of all, about something called a sword, but this has long been treated as a symbol of authority for the nobility of the Graccan Empire. I don't think that's unusual in itself. Even on Earth, medieval knights, pre-Edo samurai, swords and swords have a history of being treated as some sort of symbol of authority. It would not be as unnatural if the imperial nobility, which maintains a feudal system on a cosmic scale, had taken over such a tradition as it is now.

Well, after all, guns didn't do anything before the reality that they were stronger than swords, which at one time seemed to really just be symbolic. Around a few hundred years ago the noblemen had lowered their guns with them as well as swords on their hips.

But things have changed as life engineering has developed. Nobility has come to the trend of self-modification through cybernetics and biotechnology in order to carry out vast amounts of government, or it is normal to impose enhancements. Although it was initially a fortified procedure aimed at increasing life expectancy, brain activation, etc., treatment aimed at increasing life expectancy consequently toughened the flesh, and treatment aimed at brain activation dramatically improved information processing ability, etc., to nobility.

And improvements continue to be made to the sword by the development of material engineering, and swordsmanship, which has been handed down to aristocrats since ancient times, further evolved and developed in line with the strengthening of the body and brain.

It would have allowed 'bullet slaughter' to cut off the bullets released with a sword if you were a master of excellence from the beginning, but it was no longer as difficult a move as' bullet slaughter 'scissors for a nobleman with strengthened body and brain.

Brain and body strengthening techniques continue to develop today, as does aristocratic swordsmanship. Already the weapons that fly metal bullets with gunpowder are outdated, with laser weapons illuminated from powerful laser oscillators taking the lead, but now nobility even cuts off the laser rays that fly in at the speed of light, reflecting in some cases on archers and even seeing the counter.

I wonder if my scratch would be appropriate.

So, it's me now.

"No, no, no, no. I can't. I can't!?

"I can kind of handle it while you say you can't, brother. Wow."

"Wow."

I was alive and cut to pieces with May. No, what May has is an ultra-heavy compressed material baton, so isn't it accurate to say it's cut? No, I don't care about that. That's not an important issue right now.

Hugou, and a black metal baton gripping May's left hand making a freezing sound on his spine looms. I'm desperate to play it - I can't make it, so I'm going to play the sword on my right hand. But just comically matching the blades, on the contrary, it is learned that they play the sword and it hurts.

Hold your breath. At the same time time, time stretches, making a slow move as if Mae's baton, which was waving at a terrible rate, was also undergoing intense resistance in the water.

Simply combining swords doesn't beat me for losing at the weight and strength of the gain, and the speed at which I wave the gain. There's only one thing I can do. All you have to do is match the blade to the weakness that's coming this way. I run the blade precisely and at the shortest distance to Mae's finger with the baton.

"Huh!"

The orbit of the cop that was swinging at a terrible speed toward me changed at a speed close to a right angle, and he approached me to jump on my face. With a slight neck movement, he flaunted it and slapped the sword placed on his left hand into Mae's torso, which was becoming defenseless - trying to do so, he was slapped in the belly of the sword with Mae's right-hand knife and missed the track. The power of that knife is also to be feared, and the sword is about to be taken from my left hand.

"Guru!?

And the right-hand knife, which had been stretched as it was, reshaped and lifted as he grabbed my neck and tightened it up. It is a stunning neck hanging tree.

"I don't think it's possible to beat May..."

The basic physical specs are too different.

"No, I don't need to win... Master, this is the first time you've dealt with a sword, isn't it?

"I used to play with sticks when I was a kid, but that's about it"

Let's see your husband's current strength before we give him a lesson, and I'm surprised he suddenly beat me with a baton, but I think May is sweet because he's so attenuated that when he hits the body, he gets a proper blue mole. Because if I get hit with May's physical abilities as they are, I'll be gushy, hahahaha. I have a body.

"Maybe you have a natural sword talent or something?

"No, it's not like that. Maybe not."

"Oh..."

It is stubborn. I was kind of hoping.

"It's that of the inexperienced in foot carrying, body use, sword gripping, and swinging. But you don't think the reflex nerve and the way the blade is carried is a regular person. Are you sure you haven't had intensive surgery or something?

"I don't remember ever getting that."

I can't tell you enough that I've never been done because I don't know how I came to this world, but if that happened, I think Dr. Shoko said something to me when I was examined before. So maybe that's not the case.

"Either way, the fact that your husband's reaction rate is comparable to that of a nobleman with physical enhancement is fantastic. We don't leave the realm of the well-trained ordinary when it comes to physical abilities, but with a high speed of reaction, we will be able to compete well against the White Blade nobility."

"I'm absolutely sorry we slaughtered them like monsters alive."

"Because I can't say that your husband has a zero chance of being pushed into those situations even if he doesn't want to. Naturally, as long as I get to your side, no matter how many people I'm dealing with, I won't let your husband touch one finger, just in case."

"Well, yeah..."

Think back to the numerous troubles you've been in, and calculate in your brain the chances of getting into the kind of trouble May says. Yeah, I feel almost inevitable. Absolutely entangled. I have a feeling about that and I can't help it.

"It's okay. I have both advanced instructional assets and swordsmanship guide assets installed. Don't worry."

"Oh."

"Let us make your husband a fine swordsman in seventy-two hours."

"Yeah?"

"Okay, let's get started. VR learning devices are also available to see if this can happen. Let's start with the basics of how to hold the right sword, shake it, take the center of gravity, and feet. Bishibashi and"

With that said, May beckoned the baton somewhere, and took out from where it was like a whip that would be fine and good. Wow, it looks like it would hurt if I got slapped.

It is now a much flourishing Izlux sector, but at the time its centre, the Izlux system, was also just a peripheral system with outposts to counter the crystalline life forms of the Imperial Aeronautics Army, and it was only one of the unexplored peripheral areas leading to the Yerom system, where a large number of rare crystals continue to be mined.

The cause was a crystalline life form that continues to be a source of rare crystals. At that time, the full ecology and other aspects of crystalline life form were not yet certain, and the crystalline life form itself was a formidable threat to the Imperial Space Force at the time. Furthermore, the Empire was in tense relations with the surrounding countries, including the Federation of Belém, and there were many unexplored systems under control, and the upper levels of the Empire were passive in exploring and liberating unexplored areas where crystalline life nested.

The imperative that the Graccan Empire has become active in developing the Izlux sector has been since the successful conclusion of Operation Crystal Life Extermination by a mixed army of Imperial Aeronautics and Mercenaries, now known as the 'Crystal Battle'.

At that time, the full ecology of crystalline life forms had not yet been elucidated, but only the ecology in which crystalline life forms sought to expand their forces into peripheral systems in a certain period was known as a rule of thumb.

At the time, the Imperial Air Force had also gathered enough force in the Izlux system to repel them in preparation for the arrival of crystalline life forms, which had succeeded in defeating the raid of crystalline life forms with success.

There are mercenaries who have popped up on the spectacular stage of history in this interception. Yes, you are all aware of Captain Hiro. This Islux system interception was the first time Captain Hilo's activity was described in the Empire's official records.

When he brought supplies to an outpost in the Izlux system, the Imperial Air Force outpost and interception fleet in the Izlux system had already entered a state of combat with crystalline life forms.

Captain Hiro, who appeared on the battlefield, went into countless swarms of crystalline life forms, inflicting deadly damage on several large crystalline life forms, attracting many crystalline life forms, and gaining time for the Imperial Aeronautics Army, which was pushed and in a mood.

Moreover, he said that his love machine was intact after the battle had converged. He is awarded the Silver Sword Wing Assault Medal, which thrives on his heroic work.

At that time, it was customary for the Imperial Aeronautics Army to send a small reconnaissance fleet towards unexplored areas after the completion of the repelling of crystalline life forms to see if there were any successes. The base commander at the time also sent out a reconnaissance fleet in accordance with that custom.

It would normally end with a light reconnaissance, but the reconnaissance fleet at the time contained two unusual elements. Needless to say, one of those elements is Captain Hilo, but the other was present on the side of the Imperial Aeronautics Army. Many of you will guess if you look at the combination of the Imperial Air Force and Captain Hilo. The scout fleet incorporated the Independent Fleet against the Thieves led by the Princess General Serena Holds (then Major in rank).

The reconnaissance fleet discovered Mother Crystal, the central presence of crystalline life forms in the Yerome system, despite the damage suffered, and an operational plan for Operation Crystal Life Destruction was made by Princess General Serena Holds based on the information she brought back. The outpost commander approved the execution of the operation and an extraordinary coalition fleet was formed in an immediate time.

The dispatched Coalition fleet fought hard in the Yerome system and succeeded in destroying the Mother Crystal, but Captain Hiro also played a great role in destroying it. Once again, he fleshed to the Mother Crystal alone, hitting the core of the Mother Crystal with an anti-ship reaction torpedo at super close range.

From this time on, Captain Hiro will begin to be called Captain "Crazy" Hiro by his fellow mercenaries.

It should be noted that the body of Mother Crystal, the size of the planetary class that destroyed the core in pinpoint, is still present in the Yerom system and continues to supply the Empire with large quantities of rare crystals from the time the Graccan Empire placed the Yerom system under its control until now.
