"Ha! You, a well-connected person, dare to compete with me? It seems that you are ready to be my servant for the rest of your life! Hum, this time I want to let you, a well-connected person, see the real ace.
It's amazing." Asuka was obviously stimulated by the invitation to compete.
Although it is said that the genetic lock has been unlocked, the pride in his character has still been retained, and it is because of his excellent performance after unlocking the genetic lock that this pride is more intuitive.
"Then let's make an agreement. The loser is not allowed to deny it and must abide by the bet!" Behind Shinji Ikari, Misato Katsuragi looked at her tenant's unkind appearance, and a speechless expression suddenly appeared on her face.
…
In the Nerv headquarters, in the driver's training room, the cockpit composed of biology and machinery is parked here. It is the equipment needed to simulate EVA driving. You can see the muscle-like facilities that pull the eyes and maintain
In response to the movement of the eyeballs, the head also has an organ similar to the cerebellum, which assists in controlling balance. Under the head, there are a large number of cables connected to the spine, which are interconnected with the data system, allowing for very high-precision simulations.
It can even simulate a driver's use of an AT force field in a simulated battlefield. Such a giant piece of equipment is undoubtedly extremely expensive, but compared to using EVA for training in actual combat, it is still much cheaper.
too much.
Shinji Ikari put on his combat uniform, and then heard a scoff from the cubicle on the other side. Asuka's tight-fitting red combat uniform was also vented and wrapped around her body, reflecting the girl's curvy figure. This suit was designed
People who like things tend to have a bit of a bad taste.
"Humph, why are you staring at me? It's too late to beg for mercy now. Don't wait until I beat the shit out of you later." Asuka pointed at herself with her thumb: "My relationship with you is different. I can absolutely
I defeated more than 200 competitors with a crushing advantage and became the pilot of Unit 2."
"Oh oh oh! It sounds so awesome." Shinji Ikari responded in a voice that sounded like stick reading.
That careless look is really annoying. It seems that while this guy's personality has become cheerful, he has also become more or less vicious.
"Just wait for me!"
Asuka gritted her teeth and jumped into her cockpit first: "Watch how I will beat you up soon!"
Logically speaking, this kind of expensive equipment should not be given to children to play around with, but the members in the headquarters also want to know what the skills of the two pilots are, so that they can be more effective when facing real enemies in the future.
So that you can choose the real main force among them.
As the insertion bolt in the simulated cockpit went deeper, both of them entered the virtual scene. The scene was the Third New Tokyo that had completed the evacuation. Each of them had their own weapons at hand, including miniguns.
A variety of powerful long-range weapons, including melee weapons such as spears. Before the battle, each can choose the weapon they want to use.
Among the many weapons, Shinji Ikari chose a bow with two blades, which can be used in both melee and long-range combat. However, no one stipulated that he could only hold one kind of weapon, so after the simulated battle began, Asuka
He immediately made a tactical move that he had trained countless times, grabbed the minigun beside him, aimed at the target, and fired continuously.
She has undergone professional training and is very familiar with the various weapons equipped by EVA. In contrast, Shinji Ikari used weapons specially customized for him by the headquarters in these battles. For those standard equipment
, it’s still a bit unfamiliar to use.
The bullets wrapped in the AT force field flew towards him at high speed. This was an attack that even the apostles could not resist. In theory, Unit 1 should be even more unable to resist this kind of shooting.
After all, under normal circumstances, EVA's AT force field is not as strong as that of the apostles, so it is necessary to use various tools and weapons to break through the apostles' defense.
"As expected, I am just an amateur. I can't figure out what kind of weapon to choose during long-range combat. It would be too boring to end the battle so quickly." When Asuka thought like this, she instinctively felt a sense of crisis, because it was not really
battle, so the sense of crisis was very weak this time, but it still caught her attention.
In the smoke and dust of the explosion, a golden arrow flew in her direction.
"What happened?" Asuka manipulated his body to lean backwards, and then narrowly avoided the arrow, but he did not see how the No. 1 Unit survived her strafing.
Of course, it was a shame that she didn't see it. If she had seen it, she would probably lose confidence in this competition immediately.
Shinji Ikari did not use the AT force field for direct defense. In this simulated battle, the strength of the force fields of both sides was exactly the same. Although in actual combat, if he piloted Unit 1, he would be more unleashed than Asuka piloting Unit 2.
A much stronger AT force field is produced, but this is not a real machine body, but a simulation cabin. All data are set. For the fairness of the competition, both sides use the exact same parameters.
In this case, if Shinji Ikari condensed the AT force field in front of him to resist, it would be impossible to block the sweep, so he condensed his AT force field on the blade of the bow he chose.
Then while being attacked, he quickly waved his blade, colliding with every bullet with great precision, and happened to bounce all the bullets away.
At the same level of AT force field, Shinji Ikari has far surpassed Asuka in terms of the sophistication of its use. Even if both parties are not in the state of unlocking the gene lock now, Shinji Ikari, who has unlocked the third-level gene lock, is still better than the other party.
Much more powerful.
However, the smoke blocked his movements and did not let his opponent see such a shocking scene. Before Asuka realized the gap between herself and her opponent, she decisively threw away the minigun in her hand and replaced it with a long gun.
As she changed her own melee weapon, Unit 2 also rushed towards Unit 1 at high speed.
At the same time, Asuka also took the initiative to open the gene lock. Although Asuka has not yet broken through to the second level, because she has opened the gene lock in many trainings, she is now considered a senior existence in the first level.
Even if the gene lock is unlocked, it will hardly bear much backlash, and it can be used without any scruples in this competition.
"Let me show you how powerful I am!" Asuka dodged the golden arrows one after another and rushed in front of Unit 1. The spear in her hand thrust forward fiercely.
This sequence of actions was so smooth that even Shinji Ikari was slightly surprised when he faced this scene. He found that he was a little unable to suppress his opponent without turning on the gene lock. Those few shots just now were all calculated.
, in theory, it had blocked all the opponent's escape routes, but Asuka still found the flaw and successfully broke through.
Facing the menacing Unit 2, Unit 1 took a step back, and then blocked the bow in his hand in front of himself. The blades on both sides just held the spear and deflected it. At the same time, Unit 2
The machine felt unsteady under its feet.
It turned out that an invisible force forced a depression into the road beneath her feet. She didn't notice the depression when she rushed forward, and almost tripped over.
"Use such a little trick." At the same time that Asuka lost her balance, Shinji Ikari had already seized this opportunity and drove the No. 1 unit in a circle, and kicked the No. 2 unit in the leg with a roundabout.
Unit 2, which was a little out of balance, fell to the ground. However, after all, the genetic lock had been unlocked. Asuka felt the crisis and had already predicted it. The next step was to use Unit 1's killer move.
The blade at the end of the long bow in her hand was thrust towards her from mid-air to end the contest.
In this state, Asuka would never give up. Just when she was about to fall to the ground, Unit 2 turned around like a cat without making any contact with the ground.
While facing up, he aimed the spear in his hand upwards, just blocking the fatal attack. At the same time, the dagger on his shoulder popped out. He freed up one hand to hold the dagger like a utility knife, and then unexpectedly moved towards Chu.
Unit No. 1's knee slipped.
Even Shinji Ikari, who had not unlocked the genetic lock, was not prepared for this move. Unit-00's dodge was half a beat too slow, and a bloody wound was drawn on his knee. But this area
The pain he felt was nothing to Shinji Ikari, but it made him realize that the opponent he faced this time was not simple.
At least it was more powerful than he initially imagined. Although in the previous battle, through observation, he had roughly judged that the opponent should have unlocked the first-level gene lock, but what appeared in front of him was almost the first-level gene lock.
He has the best strength. Under this situation, if he continues to have reservations, he might really lose this game.
In an instant, Shinji Ikari also entered a state where his eyes were blank. At the same time, Unit-00 used his uninjured leg to exert force and bounced towards the back. At the same time, the long bow in his hand had once again exerted its power, and the golden arrows suddenly shot out.
It was launched, but Unit 2 seemed to have anticipated this scene and immediately turned around to avoid it.
However, she dodged the frontal attack, but did not notice that the type of attack was different from before. Just when she was raising her spear and preparing to counterattack, the strong sense of crisis behind her made her give up the attack immediately, but it was too late.
.
The blow just now has some light properties, so it can be reflected by mirrors. In the underground base of the third New Tokyo City, there are several extremely huge reflectors. These huge reflectors are like skyscrapers.
Below, is a super-powerful nuclear reactor.
The energy released by these reactions is converted into light, which is released by these reflectors. Therefore, there is light in the underground city, and it is possible to live in a nearly day-like world just like on the ground.
The golden light just hit the reflector. At this time, it had ejected and hit the back of Unit 2. Without any precautions, Unit 2 did not condense the AT field behind it at all. Suddenly
Being penetrated by this golden beam, Asuka couldn't help but let out a groan.
However, they did not lose their combat effectiveness. Both sides were injured. In Asuka's opinion, it should be considered a tie, and there was no saying that one of them had the upper hand.
"I'm a bit underestimating you, but you're still far from defeating me these two times!"
Asuka has regained control of her No. 2 unit, and raised her spear and rushed forward. This time, golden light materialized on her spear, causing her blade to continuously swallow, sometimes lengthening, and sometimes
The widening makes her attacks extremely elusive.
However, after the two of them actually met in close combat, Asuka discovered that the opponent she faced was not as simple as two moves at all, but really had many moves.
Shinji Ikari, whose eyes were blank, had countless fighting instincts emerging in his mind, and as he used these fighting instincts to control Unit-1.
He saw that Unit 1 was like a legendary martial arts master, easily repelling the attack of Unit 2. After only a dozen moves between the two sides, Asuka felt something was wrong. She seemed to be forced into a desperate situation.
When the idea came up, the blade had already reached her neck, but it just swept there and did not really fall.
The two sides continued to fight, and there was not much difference in speed and strength between them. In the close combat, weapons such as spears should theoretically be the strongest and have the advantage.
But Asuka found it extremely uncomfortable that she felt like she was playing chess with a player who was much stronger than herself. Every few dozen moves, she would be forced into a desperate situation, and then her opponent would let her go, and then pass again.
After more than a dozen moves, he was once again forced into a desperate situation.
All this is like a highly skilled chess player playing with a less skilled player.
"That's enough!" After Asuka felt that she was completely suppressed, she finally couldn't bear it any longer and attacked with the strongest force. Then, she was undoubtedly caught in the flaw, and the spear in her hand was directly knocked away.
Unit 1 took the opportunity to knock the opponent down, put his knee on Unit 2's chest, and pressed the blade against Unit 2's neck.
Asuka completely felt the gap between the two sides. At first, Asuka felt that her opponent was at best evenly matched with her, and it was not bad to be able to withstand her first wave of attacks. But after the final close fight, Asuka
Realize that the two sides are not on the same level at all.
"Well, you lost, so you must obey my orders from now on!" Shinji Ikari had a smirk on his face.
