Chapter 6 Chapter Six

The training soldiers lined up on the playground in groups. Roughly estimated that the total number is about 500 people.The figure standing at attention in an orderly manner with a serious expression is very beautiful, exuding an atmosphere like a famous work of art.This is probably thanks to the rigorous training on weekdays. They are more than just decorations, however.Although they are still in the training stage, they are undoubtedly genuine soldiers.Of course, in the event of an emergency, they will be sent to the battlefield to protect the safety of the people.Although there is no record of training soldiers participating in actual combat so far, one can tell by looking at their expressions that they should be mentally prepared.

And what they were looking at now was the two trainers standing face to face with them, that is, Qiu Keluo and Kadina who had just stepped out of the confinement room this morning.Because they were put into the confinement room without even saying hello, instructor Helfey re-arranged this opportunity to introduce themselves to them. It's just that maybe affected by the previous turmoil, the teammates who will be in the same period don't welcome them very much.This can be detected from the turbulent atmosphere that filled the audience and the eyes that seemed to see the god of plague.For the trainees, now is the critical period when the gate of graduation is approaching, and they probably don't want to get into trouble.Xia Pi, who was in the front row, even gave Qiu Keluo a murderous look.

(Is the audience full of enemies?) But it was no inconvenience, and Jukeluo was not dissatisfied. He came to the training school not to make friends or build relationships, but to learn how to use the three-dimensional mobile device in order to kill the "ogre" giant. "I thought I would never have the chance to wear a uniform again in my life." Cardinal, who was standing next to Jokero, muttered. "It's better than the death penalty." "Isn't it completely impossible for me to refute what you said?" Cady smiled wryly and scratched his hair with his fingers.

"—These two are Qiu Keluo and Cardina who will officially become your teammates from today. Although there is only a little time left before graduation, but for the king, for the country, and for the people, I hope that you can learn from each other and move towards a higher level together. progress towards the goal.” After a brief explanation to everyone present, Helfey immediately cast a look at Qiu Keluo and Cardinal.It probably means to ask them to say hello in front of everyone. (But what should I say?) Qiu Keluo didn't have any topics that could be brought out in front of them.

At this time, Cardina took a step forward instead of the bewildered Qiu Keluo.I saw him pressing his right fist against his left chest. "Cardina Baumesta! Returning to the training school for some reason! In order to catch up with the backward progress as soon as possible, I will participate in the training with the mentality of breaking my bones! Please give me a lot of advice!!" Cardinal made a loud voice that seemed to resound from every corner of the playground. Qiu Keluo blinked frequently, and then looked at Cardina with a surprised expression on his face.Because he never expected that Kadina, who is usually indifferent, would muster his dantian strength to make such a loud cry.Moreover, his posture of straightening his waist and saluting, no matter how you look at it, he is a genuine soldier, which shows his willingness to give his heart for the king, the country, and the people.I don't know what was going on in Cardinal's mind, who was whining violently until just now, but he might just be pretending.

Then it was Joker's turn.Giukelo, who imitated Cardinal and took a step forward, didn't think deeply about what he should say.He's also not as quick-witted as Cardinal, who has the ability to say a few words and get away with it. (There's only one reason I'm here.) Of course, you can only tell your purpose honestly. "I will defeat the giant!" Qiu Keluo's declaration made the trainers talk a lot.
There are many techniques to be learned in training soldiers. Combat skills such as swordsmanship or martial arts are of course not a problem. In addition, disciplines such as military art and medical treatment are also included. In short, the skills and knowledge required by soldiers will be thoroughly instilled from morning to night.Teach it again and again until it turns into your own flesh and blood——

Although the combat technique can be taught in just one sentence, it actually includes a variety of content such as swordsmanship, shooting, fighting technique, roping technique, equestrianism and so on.So it goes without saying that if you lack the basic physical strength to practice these skills, you will definitely end up in an unseemly way.The same goes for subject courses. Although trainees can handle all subjects well, there are still some subjects that they are good at and not good at.They can be roughly divided into two categories: the physical faction who are good at fighting, and the intellectual faction who are proficient in disciplines.Those who have the chance to qualify for military police qualifications can pass the academic and technical tests at a near-perfect level.Cardinal and Xiabi belonged to this level.Both of them possessed a wealth of knowledge due to their adequate education when they were young, and since they received elite education for the purpose of serving as military police, it is natural for them to show this behavior.

On the other hand, Qiu Keluo's grades were at the bottom.Although his high potential is recognized by everyone, it is just a unique skill based on intuition, and it is not useful at all in the sense of "soldier".If you use gemstones as a metaphor, Qiukeluo is a rough stone, which is no different from ordinary stones without polishing.And because he is not good at reading and writing, he is also quite clueless about subjects.However, what makes him far inferior to other training soldiers is undoubtedly his life experience. This shortcoming can be seen from his lack of coordination and imagination.

(Is it because I was inexperienced that I couldn't beat Charpy?) At the moment when this distracting thought appeared in his mind, Qiu Keluo suddenly turned over and fell to the ground because of the attack on his heel.Although he slapped the ground with his right hand reflexively and successfully made a buffering action, but if the reaction was half a beat slower, he would have been too painful to speak due to the heavy blow to his back. "You were thrown because you were absent-minded." The one who held out her hand to Joker as she spoke was a petite woman in a military uniform.

This woman has short black hair that is impressive. She is the Rosa that Jukeluo met in the confinement room, and she is also the one who just shot him down. Qiu Keluo grabbed Rosa's hand and slowly got up. "Because it's training now, you didn't receive a fatal blow. If you were in actual combat, you might have died already." Rosa looked up at Jokero with her black obsidian-like pupils. As shown by her movements, her height probably only reaches Juke Luo's chin.The smallest trainer in the training legion is Rosa. (It's really lucky that she has a way to throw me...)

Obviously, the muscles in his whole body are not particularly developed, and he doesn't look like he has the amazing strength to throw a man flying, but it is an indisputable fact that he fell into Rosa's hands.Although I don't think I am inferior to her in terms of physical strength, this is probably the result of the gap in combat skills and experience. (That's why I'm no match for Sharpie.) Coupled with the presence of his followers at the time, it meant that there was basically no chance of winning. He looked around in a blink of an eye, and found that the trainers scattered on the playground were practicing battles with their opponents.Observing their every move, you can find that the difference in physique is not the factor that determines the outcome. "That's the so-called overcoming strength with softness. Short stature can be positioned as a defect, or conceived as a weapon. Different ways of thinking lead to different results." "In other words, you can only find out through training, right..." "In fact, this is the fastest shortcut. Your aptitude is not bad, as long as you practice hard with confidence." Perhaps it came from actual experience, but Rosa's expression was full of confidence.She probably completely relied on the guidance of Instructor Helfer. By the way, Rosa's grades are almost at the upper-middle level. Although the average grade has been greatly dragged down in surgery, her strength is impeccable.Give the impression that you will be fully qualified to serve as a soldier after graduation. (The premise is that if you only work in the Mainland.) However, receiving training on the operation of the three-dimensional mobile device means that Rosa intends to join the investigation army. "Rosa, why did you choose to become a trainer?" Even if he was invited by the hero Helfey, he shouldn't be able to easily make up his mind to go to the world outside the wall. Qiu Keluo asked aloud, and Rosa talked about the fact that her parents were also soldiers. "It's just that my father passed away before I was born, and my mother has already retired from the army." "So you inherited the family business?" "Basically." "Then why did you participate in the operation training of the three-dimensional mobile device?" Rosa did not answer directly, but put on a fighting posture.Maybe she wanted to express the meaning of "don't forget that you are currently training". (I see.) After understanding, Qiu Keluo adjusted his posture, and then started free sparring practice with Rosa. "My father was killed by a giant." "So you plan to take revenge?" "It's not that I have such a great ambition, but it may be my father's blood that secretly guides me." "Was your father a member of the Investigation Corps?" "Well, in the class led by your father." "In the class my dad leads?" Juke Luo exclaimed. (I see. That's why she believed me so easily...) When they first met in the confinement room, the reason why Rosa agreed with Qiu Keluo without any special reason was probably thanks to her father. "In addition, I am also interested in three-dimensional mobile devices. After all, the developer is currently living with my mother." Rosa shrugged her shoulders, and threw Qiu Keluo's body into the air.
The training didn't end until the sky started to take on a tinge of orange. The trainer walked back to the barracks with his well-matched teammates while showing an expression that seemed to be mixed with fatigue and relief.They were going to go to the bathroom to wash off the sweat and dirt on their bodies, go to the restaurant to have a full meal, and then enjoy their free time; however, the tutoring students headed by Qiu Keluo were different.For them, what comes next is the real big game, and the training so far has been nothing more than a warm-up.It's just that this warm-up made them overtired, and their bodies were covered with sweat and dust. It didn't look like a simple warm-up at all. Since the operation training of the three-dimensional mobile device is not a formal course required by the trainers, it is practiced in the form of embezzling free time under the guise of after-school tutoring.Although the "Device" is well known, and the investigation army did successfully kill the giant under the command of the former captain Helfer, it does not mean that the effectiveness of the three-dimensional mobile device has been confirmed. Use the three-dimensional mobile device to approach the giant's weakness, and then use the half-bladed blade to plan the muscles in the medulla—— This is purely on paper.Even if you figure out where the giant's weakness is, and you have a weapon that can kill the giant, but if you can't find someone who can manipulate this equipment with ease, all of this is meaningless.It was for this reason that the legion's senior management did not include the training of three-dimensional mobile devices in the scope of formal teaching.If it weren't for Helfer, even tutoring would not be allowed, and the three-dimensional mobile device would probably be thrown into the warehouse directly, never to see the light of day.This means that even the upper echelon of the legion cannot veto the hero's suggestion at will.Of course, the training soldiers had no way of knowing the process of these political struggles. It was only because of the superficial use of the title of "tutoring" that the negative label of "tuition student" went away. The special training is not on the playground, but in the forest adjacent to the playground.If you want to use the three-dimensional mobile device to drive the body off the ground, you must nail the hook anchor into the target, and then wind up the wire to complete the action.The training objects are trees.Although there are also methods available to drive hook anchors directly into the giant's body to approach the weak point, the giant is fine if it is motionless, but the enemy is the embodiment of destruction.The target will rampage, making movement extremely difficult.Trees are the most suitable practice objects. Although the outside of the wall is an area where only the wilderness is more eye-catching, it is not a barren land with no grass and trees, and tough plants regardless of soil quality can be seen everywhere.Even if there are few in number, there are dense forests near the oases scattered in the world outside the wall.And the forest where the geographical effect can be utilized can be called the best combat stage where the three-dimensional mobile device can be used to the highest limit.Not only for attacking, but also for escaping. Although the forest was chosen as the special training site considering the "actual combat situation", the machine used in the practice was the "Device". Although the performance of the "Device" is not as good as the three-dimensional mobile device, the development concept is exactly the same.Not only can the body adapt to three-dimensional movement, but it can also be used to allow the operator to experience the feeling of simulated driving a three-dimensional mobile device, so it is the most ideal training device. However, the truth is - even if the "device" that can only move vertically is used continuously, it will not help the trainers take the first step to successfully control the three-dimensional mobile device.
Qiu Keluo and others, who returned to the dormitory after the special training, moved to the restaurant together. The restaurant is quite spacious, and the simple wooden tables are as orderly as a line. There are about 100 seats at the scene, and the trainees will take turns eating in the restaurant in batches. However, since more than two hours have passed since the end of the formal training, the entire restaurant is empty.To put it bluntly, it is a private room.It's just that because even the catering team is not on site, they have to prepare the meals by themselves... Although it is a meal, it will not provide delicious dishes like the restaurants in the city, at most it is more decent than field food.And it's the leftovers left by the teammates of the training soldiers. Of course, the food has already gone cold, as long as it can fill the stomach, it's time to laugh. "I really hope that the school can upgrade this special training to a formal training course as soon as possible." Maybe he was dissatisfied with the leftovers, but Kadi shrugged his shoulders and gnawed on the bread with his mouth open. "I don't think it's going to happen while you're at training school." The one who asserted in such a straightforward tone was Rosa who was bending over and sitting next to Jokero. In order for the three-dimensional mobile device training to be included in the formal curriculum, it is necessary to successfully control the three-dimensional mobile device and prove its usability to the top of the legion.And even if things are going well, it's probably hard to actually prove it during school, so I can only continue to endure the reality of using leftovers for dinner. "I don't think it's bad, do you?" For Jukelo, leftovers are also a delicacy.He is not dissatisfied at all. "Of course you think it's okay..." Cardinal let out a pretentious sigh. "But not everyone is as strong as you." Cardi said while looking around at the crowd in a blink of an eye. The only ones on the scene who still had enough energy to swallow their meals were Qiu Keluo, Cardina, and Rosa.Probably the stomach and intestines can't accept the food.It was a painful feeling that Jukeluo couldn't understand at all. (No one can guarantee that there will be food tomorrow.) So eat as much as you can while you still can. This is Qiu Keluo's belief in life, and it is even more impossible for him to leave food. After opening his mouth to take a big bite of the bread, and lubricating his throat with soup, Jukeluo saw that he was obviously not urged by anyone, but hurriedly forked the canned meat to his mouth.The food stuffed into his mouth filled his mouth in an instant. "Are you a squirrel?" Although Cadina complained dumbfoundedly, Qiukeluo followed his belief and continued to eat.His cheeks looked like those of a squirrel stuffed with berries. "However, the results of the special training are still unsatisfactory. The only gain is that I can control the "Device" flexibly." "Although I have understood the mechanical structure, but when it comes to using it... I can't imagine myself using the three-dimensional mobile device to fly into the air." In fact, even looking at the special training, they can't be said to have developed a flexible movement reminiscent of a three-dimensional mobile device. "You have to find a breakthrough as soon as possible. I don't want to just graduate with the label of a tutor." Rosa shrugged and said. "Cenofon said that it was a change like a revolution. It needed some kind of opportunity." "Like what kind of feeling?" "have no idea." Juke Luo's answer made Rosa sigh. "That is not a machine that humans can control - will it end up like this in the end?" "After all, no one has been able to manipulate that thing so far. It can only be said that it is not impossible..." "I respect the instructors a lot, and the developers' technology is also trustworthy, but we don't necessarily have the ability to meet their expectations." "Does the lack of results bother you?" "yes." Rosa admitted it quite simply. "Too much lack of hand feel will lead to confusion in the heart. Instead of using a three-dimensional mobile device that cannot be controlled, it is better to adapt to the "Device"... Such thoughts will arise." "Because the "Device" also left a record of successfully killing giants." "But Uncle Anhaier insists that the "Device" is a defective product, so I don't think the "Device" is suitable as equipment for dealing with giants." "Does that mean that we can only try to learn the skills to control the three-dimensional mobile device?" Facing Qiu Keluo's question, although Rosa nodded and replied "Yeah." But maybe she was not confident, and her voice didn't feel the slightest domineering.Anxiety about lack of results could be causing the motivation to slip. Just when the three of them finished the training topic and enjoyed the meal in front of them at their own pace, Qiukeluo suddenly heard an ominous sound of footsteps gradually approaching the restaurant. (this is……) He didn't need to concentrate on listening, he was also very familiar with the sound. (Charpy!) The other party seemed to have brought a companion along, so Jukero recognized the sound of multiple footsteps.It was probably a small group of four to five people centered on Sharpy.Maybe it was the guys who slaughtered Qiu Keluo during training at the military depot.In short, once I bump into them, I will definitely be involved in the storm. The tension suddenly rose, and Qiu Keluo felt his heartbeat speed up suddenly. (Eat your fill first, it really is the right decision.) After Qiu Keluo swallowed the food in his mouth, he said: "Meal time is over. It's better for everyone to go back to the dormitory and rest." As he spoke, he pointed to the exit of the restaurant. "It's over? But we haven't finished eating yet..." "Any visitors?" Cardina stopped Rosa who expressed her dissatisfaction.With a deep enough friendship, he probably already noticed from Qiu Keluo's reaction that an uninvited guest is about to visit. "That's enough... I really don't want to be put in a confinement room again..." "So that's what happened." The content of Cardina's speech seemed to have caught Rosa's clues. "That guy was coming after me." "So you want us to leave? This is no different from leaving your comrades in the enemy's camp to die." "Take this opportunity to understand the true meaning of soldiers." Cardina and Rosa didn't seem to be planning to escape, and the rest of the team seemed to think the same. "However, he seems to be particularly concerned about your transfer." Cardinal's frivolous tone showed no tension at all. "After all, people who should not exist in this world suddenly appear, so it's no wonder he cares so much." "What do you mean by that?" Rosa asked suspiciously. "It's better not to know about some things. Otherwise, you will be killed by a mysterious organization?" (Cardina was right.) Leaving aside the mysterious organization.Deportation, an inhumane punishment, can be said to be the dark side of this country.Needless to say, the citizens, most of the soldiers probably don't even know the existence of this penalty, so they can't say it casually.Besides, for Qiu Keluo and Cardina, this information is the trump card used to ensure their safety. I believe that even the king's government should not be able to kill them easily. "No matter what happens, don't do it, or you will only play into the opponent's arms." The one who whispered advice to Juquero was Kadina.Since he just got into trouble during training at the military depot, he probably hoped that he would not act recklessly. For Jukeluo, the confinement room is not scary at all, it is a place no different from his own home, but for others, it must be a terrifying place just like the literal description, and he will feel sorry for hurting others. "Leave it to me to deal with it here. Anyway, he can't be rough on you at all." "Can't be rough on me!?" "Well, I have a magic spell that will tell him to shut up." Probably because of his extra confidence, Cardinal winked at him. Just as they were whispering, Xia Bi, the topic character, appeared.Surprisingly, Xiabi seemed to have ordered his followers to wait outside, so he walked into the restaurant alone.At first glance, it does not appear to be armed either. "Oh, good night, all the tutors at the end of the crane. It's really hard for you to practice so late." After Shabby threw out a sarcasm, he immediately approached Qiukeluo. "What's your business with us?" Cardinal responded with a relaxed tone as if chatting with a good friend. "We are in a meeting, please make a long story short." Rosa, who is petite but has a strong personality, is not timid even in the face of a giant man as tall and burly as a wild bear.Maybe he was influenced by military blood just like Qiu Keluo. "What I'm looking for is the son of the monster giant sitting next to you. Can you please leave?" Sharpie raised his chin and pointed to the exit of the restaurant. "Would it be any inconvenience if we kept it?" "It has nothing to do with you." "...Couldn't you have sent a follower to watch out at the door in order to avoid interference?" As soon as Cardi made a loud noise, Sharpy's right cheek twitched like a convulsion.Although he didn't open his mouth to answer, his physical reaction had already clearly expressed the fact that this was the case, and Kadina had already confirmed the footsteps of his followers. As long as Cardina and the others are driven away, the restaurant will immediately become a secret room.No matter what is done inside, no one has a way to know.In the worst case, even if Qiu Keluo was found dead inside, as long as Xiabi colluded with his followers to make a statement in advance, the alibi would probably still be established. "All in all, if you keep it, it will only get in the way. Get out of here." Xiabi threatened everyone present. "Forgive me, after all, he is our teammate." I saw Kadi showing a sneer and scratching his hair lightly. "Teammates? Sons of giants!? There should be a limit to your wildest fantasies!" Although Xia Pi raised his cheeks, showing two rows of white teeth and laughing loudly, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.Not only that, but there was even a flame of hatred burning in his slender sharp eyes. (If this goes on...) Charpy now looks like a volcano about to erupt.A little stimulation may cause him to completely lose control. In order to be able to deal with any unexpected situation in real time, Qiu Keluo clenched his fists to enhance his fighting spirit.The opponent is Xiabi, a rough man who will do anything to achieve his goals.Underestimating the enemy will kill you. Qiu Keluo quickly entered the battle posture, and his whole body seemed to gradually heat up due to the faster blood circulation.In this way, they should be able to jump at Xia Pi and attack at any time. At this time, Rosa, who was sitting beside her, gently reached out to catch his fist as if trying to appease the fighting spirit.Rosa murmured "Hold your anger" in a low voice, and shook her head slightly at him. (If you make a move at this time, wouldn't it be the same as before...) So Qiu Keluo let out a breath of air, and slowly loosened his tightly clenched fists. Cardinal and Sharpie are still in talks. "This fellow is the son of giants. No wonder you can make friends with him." "There are no so-called sons of giants in the restaurant?" "What did you say?" "As you know, the Son of the Giant is condemned to death. He no longer exists in this world." "Where did you get the news..." Most likely, he never even dreamed that Cardinal would blurt out the subject of the death penalty. Xiabi couldn't help but open his eyes wide. It wasn't just Shabby who was surprised.The other teammates present, headed by Rosa, also showed surprise on their faces.They probably never expected that there would be felons sentenced to death in their class. But there is a great contradiction in this matter. (That's why Sharpie came to me.) Xiabi must really want to know why Qiu Keluo is still alive and well in this world even though he has been sentenced to death. "I repeat once again, the son of giants is not here." "But……" "How about asking the military police to re-investigate the incident? Maybe we can discover new facts that were previously ignored." Facing Cardinal, who seemed to know the inside story, and allowed a smile to appear on his face, Sharpy immediately gritted his teeth and showed a fierce expression. (I see, that's how it is.) Reinvestigate—— This is what Cardinal just said, the magic incantation that can make Shabby shut up obediently. Once the incident is re-investigated, Charpy's perjury to the military police may come to light.For him who aspires to join the Gendarmerie, the exposure of the incident is like a shattered dream, so he should not be able to pursue the death penalty in depth. It's just that Helfey has already known the whole picture of the incident, and Shabby had already lost everything a long time ago, but Helfey has no intention of using this matter to kill Xiabby. (The top priority now is to successfully drive the three-dimensional mobile device to kill the "ogre" giant.) So now there is no such leisure time to pay attention to Xia Pi's entanglement. After Shabby glared at Qiu Keluo fiercely, he smacked his tongue and turned around. "How about it, you settled him smoothly, right?" Cardi's face was triumphant, and she puffed out her chest as if shouting "How?" "Now he shouldn't dare to find trouble again." "I hope so..." Now that he is being held accountable, Shabby should not take any more blatant actions.But the opponent was that Xiabi, and Qiu Keluo couldn't believe that he would choose to give up so easily. "What's the matter with the death penalty and re-investigation just mentioned?" Rosa raised the most natural question, but Joker and Cardina just looked at each other and didn't intend to answer directly.As for the reasons, of course, there is no need to say much. "Some things are better not known." "Otherwise, you will be killed by a mysterious organization." Facing Jokero and Cardinal who spoke these two sentences in tacit understanding in turn, Rosa could only respond with a sigh.
