(PS1: When the number of words increases, it will take a lot of time to review it by yourself. I will review it when I have time... I will continue to wait for the information on the track. I saw someone on the post forum who said that the hermit is Rufus. This is a very interesting statement.

(PS2: Long time no see everyone. This article will not be updated until the track is released, so...)
Tolista, the entrance to the old school building of the Torz Military Academy.
The practical test of Thorz Special Class~Towa Class is divided into two parts, including individual ability and teamwork.
Originally, this task should be performed by martial arts instructor Reinhardt, but he is currently on leave to take care of his apprentices and will not come to Thorz for a while. Therefore, it temporarily fell to Ling, who is responsible for the special internship.
"Aha, it's been a long time since I had Ling as my opponent." Angelica geared up and equipped herself with gauntlets.
"Xiao An, you seem very happy." Towa basically became nervous immediately.
"After all, we have used battle dolls to deal with us before, and there has never been a real competition, right?" Angelica replied to Tova.
"That's right."
When Angelica and Tova were talking, George and Crowe did not interrupt, but just made preparations silently.
On the other side, Ling is also quite serious and definitely not just for fun. Even though she is confident in her own strength, she does not intend to lose on purpose.
The previous martial arts instructor of the Towa class was Reinhardt, and he was actually quite good at teaching. He had more experience in martial arts instruction than Ling. The four-person team spent more than half a year from May last year to January this year.
The strength here has already changed by leaps and bounds.
Rei specially put on the martial arts uniform with the "Master" logo on it, which was a rare opportunity after leaving Souyama.
"I wouldn't be so confident as to say something as shallow as 'if you take a step back, I'll lose.' The rules are like this..."
Using his finger as a sword, he shot out a wave of air and drew a circle with a radius of two sub-rectangles on the ground.
"The exam time is five minutes for each person. During the exam, I will only defend. The goal of the battle is to get me out of this circle. So Tova, let's go first."
"Eh? Me?"
"Guided impact bombs are of no use to me. Just switch to live ammunition instead."
"I understand, then I'm on board."
With a flick of her wrist, a handful of bullet casings spilled out, and the two modified pistols in her hands were fired at the speed of a machine gun.
But even a real machine gun couldn't do anything to Ling. Her hands danced together and caught all sixty alloy warheads.
"I didn't aim at the head but at the hands and feet."
"After all, ordinary people will die if they are shot in the vitals. Of course, Ling-chan is special and I know it very well. Let's take a look at my new move."
Without the middle two slowly reciting the names of carefully prepared moves, Towa is already a nineteen-year-old woman, and she is not so childlike.
She just shook her wrist at a high speed like before. If you look closely, it seemed that she was drawing a specific guidance array while shooting.
The metal slugs flew towards Ling as before. He tried to catch them one by one like before but missed.
But at an angle that was not noticed, she felt a hint of danger. Ling immediately turned around and avoided dozens of invisible firing lines.
"You can dodge phantom bullets using optical camouflage. Watch your moves!"
This time it was an overwhelming rain of bullets. Every time Tova pulled the trigger, hundreds of "bullets" were fired.
Ling easily realized that most of them were illusions, but there were also armor-piercing warheads mixed in. The safest way was of course to dodge them all.
"Successful! Hehe!" Tova stretched out her left index finger and middle finger to make a "V" gesture of victory.
"Huh? When..."
Ling noticed her feet and realized that the round earthen figures under her feet were the new circles that Towa had just created with the rain of bullets. But the regular circle drawn by Ling was actually lifted up by Towa secretly using the guidance magic.
Covered by dust.
It was Ling's mistake to be lured away from her original position by Towa's attack.
She was too focused on dealing with projectiles, but she didn’t realize that Tova’s strategy was not intended to rely on combat power to win. Ling was deceived by her own vision and stepped into the opponent’s “trap”. She had not been so unwilling to fall into the trap for a long time.
Feel it.
"Awesome, Towa. Ling lost!" Although he was a little unwilling, he still had to praise the other party from the bottom of his heart. Just a few minutes after Ling said the rules, he immediately considered the tactics with induction as the core.
.This kind of adaptability and quick wit are very outstanding highlights.
"Hey, it's because it's a method that can only be used by those who take the exam first. Having used it once, Ling will be on guard."
Tova nodded awkwardly to her teammates and apologized.
"Ha, there's no need to feel bad. If you didn't do this, we wouldn't have thought of such a way to pass the exam." Crowe waved his hand indifferently.
"However, even armor-piercing bullets are of no use to Ling. I watched the two-minute battle carefully and carefully. With that sensing ability and reaction speed, it should be said that none of the existing long-range weapons in Semlia is a threat.
Got to you?"
When Ling gave Tova the assessment, the other three of course watched carefully. In the last round of bullets, even though they knew most of them were hallucinations, they still avoided all the shooting lines. It was clear that Ling was not so fast that her figure turned into an afterimage.
She didn't release a huge amount of fighting spirit to resist, but she still made the onlookers clearly realize that "ordinary bullets can't do anything to her".
"My reaction is indeed a little faster than ordinary people, but it can't catch up with the frequency of hummingbirds. It's wrong to say that it exists. The laser generator at Luray University of Technology, even I can't avoid it. After all, it is the speed of light.
.”
Ling explained to Crowe.
There is no need to use sonic movement. A proper dodge does not require making such exaggerated movements.
"But why do you have to hide all the shooting lines? Even I can tell that most of them are fake." Angelica asked Ling with some confusion.
"Because I treat this very seriously as a real battle. Just now Tova used 'phantom bullets' on me that can hide dangerous auras. I thought there might be some in that wave of false bullets.
It's this type of attack, so it's best to dodge it. After all, in actual combat, the enemy won't be as kind as Tova and just shoot at his hands and feet."
"Actually, I don't have the energy to spare. But I will work hard in that direction, hehe."
When the fake is true, the true is also false, and when the true is false, the false is also true. This kind of psychological warfare is also a great direction for Tova, who is good at calculation.
Although Towa accidentally let Ling walk out of the earth, it will not be so easy next.
The next one is George. This is a very unfair test for him. Although he has carefully trained his physical fitness, George has never inspired the fighting spirit. I don't know if his talent is limited or something else.
George's characteristic is that he uses his physical ability to be much higher than that of ordinary people to exert strong physical attack ability, but his agility is slightly inferior to others. Although Ling said that he would not fight back, she did not say that she would not dodge.
After a minute of war hammer attack failed to touch even a single hem of Ling's clothes, George wisely stopped attacking and no longer wasted his energy. Instead, he tried to use guidance magic to resist.
Well, of course it turned out to be useless.
"It's good to be able to clearly see the difference in combat power between the enemy and ourselves and immediately change tactics. But the result is everything. I won't give you a high score, so there's no reason to complain."
"Well, the purpose of the exam is to test performance. If you fail the exam, you will fail. I will not expect an evaluation higher than my original ability."
"Don't worry, I definitely have the passing points. It would be better to say that my basic combat literacy has surpassed that of ordinary Imperial soldiers."
After George finished, it was followed by Crowe.
During the year after entering Thorz, I pretended to fight with two spears, and gradually became very strong even with the two spears. This talent is really quite powerful.
"Hey, you're lying. Do you have eyes in your back?"
Bullets that can turn are a new trick that Crowe uses to deal with Ling. It's not that you can shake your wrist at high speed to throw a parabola or something, it's just that a little magic of guidance induction is added to each bullet. Even if
If the missile misses at the beginning, it will be repositioned and pursued under the power of "guidance". It can be said that it is an irresistible tracking bullet.
"Because the opponent is me. Since Tova passed the exam, I have been extremely vigilant."
"Ah, that's it. Okay."
Crowe didn't say anything about giving up directly. Although it was a disguise, he had been pretending seriously. Next, he used an explosive warhead, focusing a large amount of guiding force on the bullet with the idea of blowing Ling away.
Regarding this forceful approach, Ling adopted a forceful approach. She used up her own fighting spirit to withstand the opponent's bombing.
Five minutes later, Ling's practice uniform was still spotless. Although the figurines had been blown up to the point where no trace of the original traces could be seen, she did not move a step.
"Ok, low score? I have no complaints." Crowe raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Well, is Anjie the last one?"
"Oh, come on. I've been accumulating strength since just now."
Putting on a master-style stance, Angelica began to draw a circle in the void with her hands.
"This move is...Hey, Anjie, wait a minute!"
"Take the move! "Mystery: Thunder Palm"!"
A white shock wave that resembled the "Kurtle Style ○ Kung" was released from Angelica's hand. The huge wave covered the entire earthen floor, making it impossible to dodge. Ling, who put up her hands in a defensive posture, somehow caught it.
Although he succeeded in this move, he was still pressured by the endless flow of skill and began to retreat.
While holding it back with the back of her hand, Ling stood on one foot and kicked with the other foot from a high position. She kicked "Bo" into the sky with her left foot wrapped in fighting spirit.
On the other side, Angelica, who had exhausted all her strength, also fell to the ground at the same time.
Ling stepped forward and felt Angelica's pulse. Fortunately, she was just exhausted, not overdrafted.
Ling used the dragon magic skill to transfer some of her energy to her, allowing her to relax.
"Don't use moves that you haven't mastered yet. To obtain the secret technique, it's not just about having enough power. The consequences of using the Qigong Cannon haphazardly will be serious."
"Hey, I just want you to leave that circle."
It's not a trick, it's just that the move just now successfully pushed Ling out of the circle. Although the mastery is not proficient, the power used by Angelica can be said to have surpassed her master Kirika.
"Okay. You'll pass. You must have insisted that I won't just leave it alone and that's why you acted so randomly."
Although it was a small use of Ling to test her own limits, Ling didn't have any objections.
"Um, are you still doing the joint test?" Tova breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Angelica was fine.
"Although Tova and George still have some energy left, Crowe and Xiao An probably won't be of much use. Crowe's special bullets are used up, and it will take Xiao An several days to recover. Cancel the joint test.
"
In this way, the practical test has come to an end.
Next, Ling announced the destination for the special internship at the end of January.
"The location of this special internship is Crossbell? But that place is very troublesome, right? From the standpoint of our military cadets, it's not a good idea to go there."
Tova said worriedly.
"Well, so you can't go as a student of Thors, but as an ordinary tourist in the empire. From the perspective of an imperial person, look at the most serious problem that the empire will face in the next few years. Temporary use of fake identities
It’s already been done for you.”
"Is this the so-called infiltration internship?" Tova asked.
"It's not that far yet. I'm just going to take a look. This internship is different from the past. Olibat and I will basically not interfere. Apart from providing the necessary funds and required documents, we will not give you any arrangements.
What kind of mission? It’s okay to treat it as a trip like before.”
Ling replied.
"Except for the fourth and sixth times, every other time is a trip. Isn't it a lot of trouble every time?"
Crow complained,
"It was just a chance encounter. It was not a deliberate arrangement, it was just an ordinary encounter with some ordinary things. It is common for the locals, but it is not the case for you outsiders.
This is also the meaning of the so-called 'new style'."
"But Crossbell, is it really okay..." George has actually heard the rumors about the Magic City.
"Hmm, you have to do it to find out. Even if you accidentally trigger a war between the Empire and the Republic, it is probably fate."
"Ling-chan, don't be scary! I'm even more uneasy." Towa immediately complained.
In fact, that kind of thing won't happen.
Neither Osborne nor Locksmith are ready for a full-scale war yet.
