The season crossed the summer and moved into autumn with a slightly cooler breeze.
The meadow, which spreads on one side, changes its color from green to brown, and the leaves of the trees in the forest area are vividly discolored with the red leaves. A large number of dead leaves that had fallen to the ground had made their feet slippery, creating natural traps that concealed the roots that had popped up on the surface.
In such a forest section, two armunales were pointing their cuttings at each other.
One plane is Leon's fuselage. And the other is Leila's fuselage.
"Leon's guy, you're being pushed."
"Leila sucks these days. I don't know, it looks like the Arakami have taken over."
To Batis' analogy, the students who were around also nod.
It's not just the pilots who are here. Since the fall, when we started bumping into each other directly in the Almunale, students in the mechanics discipline have likewise begun to tour that battle on the ground.
And any airframes that are damaged after a battle are immediately recovered by the mechanic discipline and replaced with new airframes in about fifteen minutes.
The mechanism is simple, with parts other than the generator pre-assembled and placed, only sticking the extracted generator in place.
The mechanic discipline is responsible for the repair of broken parts and the pilot discipline will conduct combat training again on the repaired aircraft.
At the end of the third year, both disciplines were beginning to offer more practical classes.
And, Leila's fuselage moves.
When I gently strike my own sword at the tip of the Leon machine, I jump in with that pocket. But Leon doesn't have a third-place grade for Dade either.
If you take an immediate step back and make an intermission, wave your sword down toward the Layla machine. The Leila machine took it and moved on to the impending.
The performance of the fuselage is mutual. Then the impending whereabouts lead directly to the difference in skill between the two. Shortly after it seemed that way, the Layla machine pulled its arm slightly out.
Naturally, the blade of the Leon machine approached the Leila machine. But the blade never touched the Layla machine.
Leon's arm was bounced up by the impact from the bottom.
"Shockburst."
"If it's about the arm, it has the power to launch."
This time, there are three magics that are registered in the Armunale as practical training. One is the usual shock burst, and a flashlight that generates intense light for the eyeballs, and finally a magic shield for the anti-magic.
The Magic Shield is so brittle that it can easily be broken through with as much arm power as the Almunale, but it is a useful enough magic to soften the impact of magic. This time, you have the power to simply disable the shock burst completely. In fact, to avoid fatal injuries, most of the airplanes in action had registered this magic.
But Leila succeeded in playing the arm by releasing a shock burst outside the Magic Shield's activation timing, which is when the opponent launches the attack.
Leon machines with their arms bounced up naturally empty their torso.
That's where the Leila machine sword was poked.
The tip completely captures the cockpit. That's it.
"That's it!
As the instructor yells at the microphone, the two aircraft slowly retract and distance themselves, storing each weapon on their hips, and come back here.
Along with that, the mechanic students who were around began to move generously.
After this, we need to collect the two planes and transport them to the hangar, replace the generators and bring in a new fuselage within 15 minutes.
Hurry! and a dagger from the mechanic's department will fly and gather around the Armunale, where the students stopped.
When Leila opened the cockpit hatch, she jumped from there without any magic.
The upset runs to the mechanic students, but when Layla lands stunningly, there is zero sigh of admiration like interest. Then, realizing that it was not the case, the mobile clerk immediately boarded the cockpit.
Leon normally activates magic and goes down to the meadows.
"Good day to both of you."
"Leila's winning streak."
"Of course."
"Ku......"
Leila, who doesn't change one expression and says it cold. Leon lay down his face and grabbed his fist.
Leila's attitude has clearly cooled since the out-of-town exercise.
A choice of words that can also be taken as provocation, for words and deeds that push anyone away. The gaze that has spooked me for a long time has been well directed, but lately I feel it contains feelings similar to those of hostility.
Well, I love Almunale, and he told me he hates Almunale, so maybe I can't help it, but it's a little bit sassy to come with him for over two years and be abruptly distant.
"Eldo and Battis are next. So far Eldo has won all steadily, but Battis has been doing well lately as well. Let's work hard with each other."
'Yes!'
The instructor immediately put his gaze back on the material at hand, wondering if he had seen Layla for a moment.
Get on board and activate a new, identical aircraft that is back.
Next door Batis activated the fuselage in the same way.
Nod at each other and move to the starting position of the match.
"You're ready."
"Erdo, no problem"
"Batis aircraft, you can go anytime!
"Okay - here we go!
With the signal, I let the fuselage lean backwards. Shortly afterwards, the Batis machine sword is swept through the face position.
"Chip."
Sound collecting magic picked up Batis' tongue.
Sweet. I'm not warm enough to make such an easy ambush.
In the rearward falling fuselage, if I turn up the generator's output, I manipulate the hood pedal, causing the ground to rise.
The fuselage rebuilt its posture with only a bac rotation on its right arm as it bounced heavily backwards.
Fucking manoeuvres.
"Not surprisingly. Okay, here we go."
All I have to do is reorder, and I'll unleash a shock burst. That naturally plays by the magic shield, but is just a means to keep the magic from being unleashed during the time you approach it.
Minimize the power of shockbursts to save fuel while slashing into Batis' fuselage.
Battis took my sword while generating the Magic Shield.
And then he just pokes his right arm out and unleashes magic on the left hand side of the fuselage. My weakness doesn't move, so I guess it's my left arm.
But I'm not stupid enough to do it, either.
Hit the same magic on the shock burst that is unleashed to offset the power.
Despite the fact that Armunale has fuel problems, the reason he uses magic as his main uniform is this freedom of angle of fire.
Shooting weapons like guns and cannons turn into just blunt weapons that don't make sense out of their angle of fire when they jump into their nostalgia. But there is no angle of shot in the magic activation.
If only the condition of not damaging one's fuselage is met, it can be released at any angle, in any direction.
Naturally, the magic that is emitted at close range can also be emitted from close range and offset without any problems.
A blowing shock wave shakes the surface of the fuselage, but to that extent, it's fine.
I put my strength in my right arm and push the Battis machine sword back just for a moment.
I poked that gap and let the fuselage crouch and set up a foot payment.
Batis jumps the fuselage and pays for his feet, but he immediately unleashes a shock burst by hanging a Batis aircraft in the air.
Even if you're putting up a magic shield, being in the air won't help.
Batis aircraft pushed backwards by impact. Follow that fuselage, and I'll stick my sword out while I run.
One sword move with one arm has become much like the other in the last two years.
Although it was at first that I tried to apply the technology I learned from Mr. Rene to fuselage operations, I still gave up using my left arm to mimic my kick-ass sword moves.
That's where I consulted with Mr. Rene and came up with this Armunale dedicated sword technique.
It is a one-armed slash using a movement that cannot be done by a person, carried out with the joints of the fuselage in full operation.
"Let me do it!
My sword protruded was struck by the Battis aircraft's forceful dislocation from the fuselage.
Landed intact, the Batis aircraft maintains its posture on one knee while sharpening the ground wide. As with the chase, the upper body is well balanced and there is no gap to punch in.
"We only have a few months left! This way, too. Come on, I'm not gonna spoil it for fourth place! You too! And Leila! And Leon! Kill them all, I'll take the top!
Nice temper. I'm about to blubber to my body.
But even I don't want to get off the undefeated seat easily. Manual control, armsword moves, and my will! Why don't you hang it all up and take down Battis!
"Call me!
Battis' fuselage comes up and raids him.
The sword that was erected will be swinging towards my left. Then I'll set up a counter to go with it!
Lower your hips and lay down your sword.
The sword to be swept out has been aimed at my left side, as expected.
I immediately activate the flashlight, take Battis' sight for a moment, and render this one invisible. I won't be able to see the Battis aircraft either, but it's impossible to suddenly change the orbit of the sword that will be swung down.
I stuck my sword out toward the orbit I was going to be swung down.
Gashan, intense sound and impact strike the fuselage, and my fuselage sword pierces the arm of the Batis aircraft.
Push the sword in with the force as it is and shake your right leg up as you pull down the Batis aircraft.
That kick, which used his entire body, blew his opponent's movable camera, or head.
"Uh-oh!"
The fuselage falls as-is, gaining momentum and rolling with a thousand arms pulled and chopped.
When the effect of the flashlight expired, Battis' fuselage had lost its right arm and head and had fallen into the meadow.
As I slowly approach and cross the Battis machine, I lift my sword backwards. If you keep swinging it down, it's an orbit through the cockpit.
"That's it!
That's where I got a stop from the instructor.
I connect my sword to my hips and reach for the Battis machine.
"Are you all right?
"Fuck, let him fall flashy."
So Battis picked up my fuselage hand. Apparently the body has no problem.
"You haven't beaten me yet."
"Why do you use the same fuselage to make such a difference in output... even here, the generator is a manual control"
The three layers who wanted to use their left arm apparently decided to do it manually only by disarming the balancer and manually adjusting the generator output.
But I also adjust the various types of heat rejection, stabilizers, and angles of aerodynamic fins myself. More importantly, the benefits of manual control of the centre of gravity controller would be enormous.
The balancers and generators are in direct contact with each other, and the balancers are the ones that force the generators to balance by automatically changing their output. In addition to that, the absorption of shocks by the stabilizer, stability by the centre of gravity controller and various other functions allow the Almunale to finally move freely.
By controlling its center of gravity controller, I am making it more powerful at impact. Thanks to this, I could not afford to pierce the arm of a Batis machine without losing the sword to be waved down.
If a person, the difference in center of gravity movement about a few centimetres does not make that much difference in force, but if it is also as mass as Armunale, even that few centimetres will make a huge difference. After the center of gravity moves for that matter, the balance breaks down and it becomes difficult to operate, but that's the guy I call the show of my arms. I mean...
"That's a full multitude of privileges. If you sacrifice your left arm, you think Battis can do it?
"The price is too big! Ahhhhh! Shit! You can't lose next time!
"I'll put you to sleep as many times as I can."
"You guys, don't talk. Come back here quick!
'Excuse me!'
The instructor's drink drove us back to the rendezvous point.
After the combat training, the instructors had gathered in the staff room for a meeting.
The agenda concerns graduates of the current year. I mean, who do you choose among the Elds?
"Hmm..."
The highest-ranking gazzle of all this roars as he compares the material at hand.
The instructors tilted their necks at the look of it.
"What's wrong, Instructor Gazzle? I feel there are some pretty good students left this year, but anything to worry about?
"Oh, earlier this year's knight employment quota was notified by the General Command"
"How many?
Everyone here wanted to be four.
Because we understand that they work hard with each other and are a group of strength that we have seen rarely in recent years.
"Three."
Once the words are spinned, the air in the staff room becomes heavy all at once.
"Three."
"Are you three?"
Instructors who recite the numbers verbally. The numbers were heavy on the teachers as well.
"There were five of us last year..."
"Not even last year, for sure."
I wouldn't have any choice but to say that. Last year and last year was the year when the number of Armunale holdings increased as a result of operations by the Jakarta Command, and more pilot candidates were promoted to full-time pilots than usual for their mobility and increase.
I'm impeccable with them, but compared to this year's members, I'm still inferior.
"I can't even stay depressed. Today's agenda is to say who to choose among these four. I will judge the finalization of my position as a pilot after the tests that will be conducted in January, but the command department needs to be prepared as well. You have to decide who you're running for."
As a candidate, it would definitely be confirmed by four: Eldo, Leila, Battis and Leon. But the instructors must raise one of them, one likely to be dropped, to report.
It doesn't matter how hard it is to choose it.
"First of all, Eldo, aren't you sure? Paper testing is second in two points, and sword moves grew more visibly than they did at the beginning of the year. Now, you have as much power as you can fight with a positive pilot. More importantly, we do not allow any other follow-ups with regard to the manoeuvring of the Almunale"
Until now, Erdo's manoeuvring skills, which have not defeated anyone in combat exercises, must be acknowledged, no matter how special.
Originally, the number of alumnae is small, and the equipment of manoeuvre machines (sense boards) and fuselage are customized to suit each, so the speciality is not so much to worry about. It is at first that the other members may be puzzled, but they will soon be.
"Right. Eldo, I think you should be sure."
"I agree."
Endorsements rose one after the other, and Erdo's entry into the pilot was confirmed.
And the next person named is Leon.
"Leon, I was wondering if you had any problems. Grades are third by first place and five points. The sword moves are impeccable, too. He's calm in character, and incorporates his own maneuvering based on both maneuvering and basics. The game results are also defeated by Erdo and Leila, but their ability to look at the whole thing and judge the situation is better than they are"
"You're the type to go up there."
If Eldo were the type to show that strength on the battlefield, Leon would be the type to show that strength behind it, as commander.
Look across the battlefield, set up an operation and make more efficient moves. Such a pilot.
Leon's entry as a pilot will also be passed by a majority in favour.
But against the other two, the teachers' opinions were in conflict.
"I was wondering if I should make Mr. Leila a pilot. It's impossible not to be an all-perfect pilot."
"But she's too emotionally broad. These days, we've lost consideration for the fuselage."
"If it's a fight, it's natural to take less into account"
"But in practice, there's also the possibility that this won't hold a fuselage in production"
Gazzle roars as he listens to the teachers and looks at Leila's manipulated Almunale data.
I can understand just seeing Leila's movements have changed since I finished the out-of-town exercise. But it's more pronounced when it comes to data.
Defeat is the only thing attached to Eldo that has won everything else, but the load on the fuselage is always over one hundred and twenty percent, and the fuselage after Leila's maneuver is screaming at the joints. Many attacks were left to output, and many verses were seen treating the aircraft as if they were abandoned and pawned.
In real life, it is said that more than twice as much of your bad will be played out. Based on that, I remain anxious to put you on the battlefield in Leila today.
Considering the volatile spirit of the first time I rode the Armunale, I can't push my heartbeat and send it out when it's okay.
Batis against, although his grades are the fourth place and his maneuvering skills are still many sweet spots, as you can see in today's battle, his upliftment is tremendous, and the mental aspect is stable only if it is light on the woman. I often become a class moodmaker, and being assigned to a unit won't make the atmosphere any worse.
"Both have advantages and disadvantages. Maybe it is when it comes to humanity, but on the battlefield, it can be a lifesaver."
"That's hard."
"We should discuss this here until everyone's convinced."
"Right. It's a rare talent to decide by majority vote."
After that, a thorough discussion took place and the meeting was settled about two hours after the start.
