Chapter 14: The first battle of is, one summer growth, the middle plan!
"Alas...a rookie is indeed a rookie..."
Ichika landed on the ground with a staggering posture, which really made Illya sigh.
She thought there was something special about the only man in the world who could control IS. But as soon as Ichika came along, she got a solid shot from Cecilia.
"Cecilia is really merciless... Well, there are 'threads' on her body, which means - a classic reversal play?"
Illya looked thoughtfully at Ichika, who was running around in a panic due to Cecilia's continuous shooting.
"On a certain choice branch, make a decisive action and completely convert all the dislike points into favorability points. This is the legendary reversal plan. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see it in the near future...
"
Having said this, Illya suddenly slapped her head with her hand.
However, Illya apparently forgot that she was currently wearing IS.
As a result, his huge claw-shaped palm almost completely wrapped her little head.
"What am I thinking... It's all my fault that Alice, because she didn't want to bother and just transferred the knowledge of making humanoids to me in the form of memory. Why do you need to add all this messy knowledge?! I'm so confused
Now I have almost become a master of otaku knowledge. It’s really..."
At this time, Ilia's eyes suddenly shrank.
On the virtual screen in front of her, Ichika's action efficiency and effective evasion rate were rising rapidly.
"What an amazing ability to learn and adapt, as if he was born to manipulate IS..."
Immediately afterwards, Illya opened the ** channel with the control room.
"Teacher Madara, is this your purpose? Practical training."
"Huh? Well, isn't actual combat the way to make a rookie grow the fastest?"
Hearing this, Chifuyu had no intention of denying it and readily admitted it.
"Oh? Since you said so, it seems there is no need for me to hold back."
Illya showed a sly smile like a fox.
"It is very necessary to let rookies understand the so-called principle of 'there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people above the mountains' while growing rapidly."
"...You should consider this yourself. I told you that I am only responsible for the venue, and you can handle other things by yourself."
In response to Illya's words, Chifuyu was silent for a moment before answering.
"Okay, Mr. Madara. The student understands!"
Illya stuck out her tongue in a bored manner. She didn't expect that Chifuyu's superficial reaction was still as cold as ever.
"Really, it won't kill you if you change your expression a little. You are obviously worried about your brother, but you still have that cold look on your face."
Just after Illya and Chifuyu finished talking, Ichika's counterattack began.
Ichika switched out the only weapon owned by "Shiro Shiki" and rushed towards Cecilia.
However, it is a pity that the only weapon that "White Style" has is a melee type.
For Ichika, who has not yet personally formatted the machine and whose operating skills have not yet matured, there is no way he can escape the continuous sniping attacks of the long-range shooting line "Bluetears" operated by Cecilia.
Therefore, while the shield value continued to decrease, Ichika was still unable to make an effective counterattack.
"In front of these 'bluetears', it's your first time to last so long in a battle. You are the first one."
After once again repelling the attacking Ichika, Cecilia paused her shooting action.
"It's worthy of praise, Ichika."
She spoke of praise, but there wasn't much praise in Cecilia's tone.
"Thank you very much."
On the contrary, the rest of Ichika seemed very calm. He was obviously always at a disadvantage.
"However, it's time to enter the final chapter!"
After listening to Ichika's answer, Cecilia declared while locking eyes on Ichika again.
"Floating cannon?!"
Illya opened her eyes wide in surprise.
On the balance wing behind is "bluetears", four floating cannons separated and began a rapid-fire attack surrounding Ichika.
"is... let's just call it Humanoid Gundam. It seems that the data collection for the IS dedicated machine is still not in place. All we know is the name, and the detailed information is stored in a private local area network, and cannot be invaded."
There are also useless public information in the park. And the lock scan cannot be too in-depth, otherwise it will definitely trigger the built-in alarm of the other party. It is really troublesome..."
Ilia shook her head, waved her hand to dismiss the virtual screen in front of her, and concentrated on watching the game.
At this time, the situation of the war changed decisively.
"This blow will destroy your left foot!"
At the same time as the floating cannon was recovered, Cecilia fired a confident blow.
However, this blow was deflected by Ichika's deft turn and a precise slash with his sword.
"It's a desperate move!"
After shouting loudly, Ichika launched a large-scale evasive action.
What was different from the past was that Ichika dodged all of Cecilia's shots this time.
"lv up during the battle? Do you want some sound effects? By the way... this is cheating! The world is helping the protagonist to cheat!"
Looking at Ichika's effective evasion rate value that jumped up again on the virtual screen, Illya gained a deeper understanding of the so-called protagonist's law.
"ah!"
With a loud cry from his abdomen, Ichika successfully got close to Cecilia for the first time and launched an effective attack.
"What nonsense!"
Cecilia was a little surprised by Ichika's sudden performance. After dodging Ichika's attack, she showed a slightly annoyed look.
"But it's all in vain!"
With that said, Cecilia fired the floating cannon again.
"I see!"
With a bang, a floating cannon was caught in its trajectory by Ichika, and it exploded with a slash.
"This weapon requires you to send a command every time before it can act."
While Ichika was talking, another floating cannon was blown up.
"And, at the same time, you can't use other methods of attack."
At this time, the remaining two floating cannons stopped attacking and returned to the balance wings.
"Because you need to concentrate on mental control, right?"
Judging from the above actions, Ichika's statement was correct. Without Cecilia's control, the floating cannon indeed stopped firing.
"Two left!"
Avoiding the firing of the floating cannon again, Ichika confidently made a declaration of destruction, which was also a declaration symbolizing victory.
"What an immature brat."
Regarding Ichika's performance, Illya shook her head.
"Now that the attack method has been seen through, the one who uses it is a fool. Is Cecilia a fool? If she is a fool, how can she become a candidate for the British IS representative? She will suffer!"
"Shortening the distance will be advantageous for me!"
After destroying the last two floating cannons, Ichika launched a general attack on Cecilia.
"Fell into a trap!"
At this time, Cecilia looked aside and a faint smile appeared on her face.
On is "bluetears", the two lower barrels are lifted instantly.
"Oops!"
When Ichika finally realized that he had been deceived and yelled, two tracking missiles flew out of the barrel, locked onto Ichika and flew away.
After evading several times and still being unable to break free from the missile's lock, Ichika turned around and blasted the first missile, and was hit by the second missile that followed.
The explosion of fire in the arena shone brightly.
"Is this the end?"
Looking at the smoke formed by the explosion, Illya scratched her head with her claws in confusion, feeling that something was wrong there.
"Well, it's the first time after all. Being able to behave like this is already considered a genius. It seems that the world doesn't protect the protagonist too much. This is..."
As she said that, Illya suddenly stared at the gradually dispersing smoke.
