69 – Chapter 25. A Kind Of Game – 1

– 70 –

After class on Monday morning, we headed to the canteen.

The kiosk was very spacious and had a variety of items, but it almost felt like a mart.

At first glance, I thought it was an affiliate of a company run by the twins of the Xi’an Lian twins, but I don’t know the details.

“During this semester, I’ll have to eat here all Monday.”

“That’s right. I hate the 1 o’clock class because of this.”

I was able to safely buy bread by breaking through the kiosk full of people as I was escorted by Zermia and Shane on either side.

Who are you? The person who said that they were newlyweds who just brought their children.

“Let’s go. It’s already 30 minutes.”

“If it was a restaurant, I would have eaten now.”

They cross the campus half-run with their own food.

I saw more and more familiar faces around me, so I opened the bag of bread while waving my eyes.

“The sum.”

I don’t usually like sweet bread for meals, but I didn’t care about that.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with starving for a few days, so I decided to take this opportunity to buy a variety of snacks.

I chose a cream bun with some strawberries.

The sweet cream and strawberry scent that spreads in your mouth makes you smile.

After arriving at the classroom and waiting for class, I was already hungry.

One bread is not enough.

I should eat two meals in the evening.

When the clock ticked 1 o’clock, children rushed in.

Teachers followed it up, and the children who barely escaped late swept their hearts.

For your reference, if you are late more than a certain number of times, you will be charged a penalty.

“Now, from today on, theory and practice time will be held flexibly. In fact, last week’s practice was a simple demonstration, and this week is the start in earnest. It’s good to look forward to it.”

The children were curious about what would happen during the practice session.

He gave a hint to Chermia and Shane, but I believe they will do well because they both have experience in helicopters.

The teachers, who conducted a short class with the actual compression manual that I organized in my spare time, took us to the lab before the first class was over.

Children, who thought the classroom was on the same roof as the last time, began to harbor doubts and expectations when they headed to the old schoolhouse connected by a passageway.

The small chatter became a buzz, and some students groaned as they watched the teachers heading to the 5th floor.

It seems that you heard something about the ghost commotion on the 5th floor.

“W. There are ghosts here…….”

“Shhhhh. Never make a ghost angry.”

Two female students were walking up the stairs trembling.

“The ghost was actually Sila, wasn’t it?”

“That’s right. Shall I call you Sila?”

“A. Then the class cannot be canceled.”

We, who are aware of the situation, entered the 5th floor with a somewhat pleasant feeling.

As we entered the large classroom following the guidance of the teachers, we were greeted by ten large boxes.

In the classroom, there were not only Armion, but also several researchers and wizards who burned me and last week.

He seemed to have come to see if the class was going well.

Armion opened his mouth to the children who were looking around the device because they were curious while watching the adults.

“Welcome, future pilots. From now on, this will be a training room dedicated to helicopter pilots. Researchers and wizards have worked hard over the past week to implement it. Let everyone use them to their heart’s content until they are fully proficient.”

While Armion was talking about her suffering, she looked at me and tilted her head slightly.

After she responded to the gesture by tilting her head after him, she headed to the front of the classroom.

There, there was a simulation device that brought the whole body of the helicopter.

Whoever sees it, it’s something I’m going to wear.

I’ll have to ask you to paint it silver later.

Today, let’s learn how to fly in the cockpit of each of the pilots, taught here by TA Erif Cruel. Distribute the devices to each of five people in numerical order. Each number is written next to the device in order, so move quickly.”

After hearing Armion’s words, the children quickly started looking for the device with their own number.

By the way, since when did I become a teaching assistant?

If possible, I would like you to call me a teacher or professor for helicopters.

“Now, board one by one in numerical order and bring your student ID to the identification plate on the ceiling. Erif. You also.”

“Yeah.”

I replied to Armion with a playful salute, then saw him raise his fist and quickly got on the machine.

When you put your student ID on the spacious panel attached to the ceiling, it was recognized and magical power flowed into the device.

I was looking inside, and I saw a helmet on the instrument panel.

“Oh, helmet.”

Inspired by my integrated helmet, it is said that the development of linking the helmets used by warriors with the aiming of the weapons is in full swing.

I brought it here to get used to it in advance.

I put on the helmet and lowered the visor.

I glanced around to see my face and the reflection of the classroom reflected on the front window.

I was a little embarrassed.

He knocked on the window and heard something.

It was the same stand-up mic that Curst was using at his press conference.

I mean, even give a lecture.

You should definitely pay the tuition later.

I cleared my throat, putting the microphone in a suitable place.

No need to be nervous, right? It’s the same as when I was teaching my friends last week.

With self-hypnosis like this, I started the class with a slightly trembling voice.

“Now, everyone, slide the switches a little to the left of the center, second, third, fourth, and last, the leftmost switch from the left. Then raise the right lever up. Finally press the big button to the left of the lever. Is the ignition turned on?”

“Erif, it’s too fast.”

“Oh, it’s on!”

“Hey, be quiet. I told you to only tell me when there’s something wrong. Please explain one more time.”

“So… ….”

It was not easy to explain according to the level of a dozen children at a time.

Besides, it wasn’t a teacher-disciple relationship, but because they were friends in the same grade, so he didn’t seem to have any serious intentions at all.

“Everyone, focus. There are a lot of friends waiting behind you.”

When Chermia, who was in the first turn, spoke up, the rest of the children became silent in an instant.

“Thank you, Chermia. Then I’ll explain it again. First… ….”

Since then, everyone succeeded in turning on the ignition, whether I had the knack for explanation or whether the children who did not want to be scolded by Chermia were motivated.

Last class, time was tight, so I kept the ignition on and practiced driving, so this was the first practical step.

Now that the ignition is on, everyone will see a landscape created by fantasy magic in front of them.

Let’s finally check if there is anything wrong and start moving.

“Now that everyone has their ignition turned on, shall we learn to move?”

“Erif. What is ‘mode selection’ here?”

“I’ll try that later when I get used to the controls.”

There is no need to disclose the source of concern for the whole semester already.

“Once take off, it feels like slowly pushing up the lever in the center here… ….”

As I was explaining hard, I noticed that each screen was linked to the left and right glass windows.

When the blue sky and green fields filled the windows, I got a little dizzy.

But then, I saw a screen that rotates round and round at once, a screen that soars into the air, and a screen that turns to the ground, so I decided to just focus on the front.

“Hey, Erif! Just turn this around!”

“Uh, it’s falling.”

“Ha. To turn, you just step on the pedal, so step on it slightly in the opposite direction, and if it falls, try adjusting the lever.”

If you actually practiced this by flying a helicopter, how many helicopters have already fallen?

Newly, I wanted to applaud the greatness of magic.

There are five students per device, and the first time given was about two and a half hours.

Considering the break time, each group had to finish the class in less than 20 minutes.

After the basic take-off, movement, and landing were carried out, the shift time was already approaching.

There were several helicopters that had kissed the ground when they landed.

Well, it’s my first time. Watch it now

I’ll see how well it does when I put it on later.

“Erif, please take care of me!”

“Yes. Nice to meet you all. Shall we start the engine then?”

I was getting used to the class.

I’m definitely a student, but I’m going to get a job as a military academy teacher.

The second time was longer than the first, and the free time increased as time went on.

After all, there was still plenty of time left even after all the children learned to start-up-take-off-move-turn-landing.

Oh. Then you can ‘do that’.

If possible, it would be fun to have a competitor.

I got off the device, grabbed the microphone and shouted.

“In each group, who do you think is the best manipulator?”

“I!”

“No, I am!”

Children raised their hands, not knowing what it was, and were in an uproar.

Armion, researchers, and wizards nod their heads as if they understood my intentions.

I made it hard, but if I don’t show it today, last week’s vigil becomes meaningless.

Knowing that, I couldn’t move on to just learning simple maneuvers today.

After sending the people selected one by one from each group into the machine, I went back to the machine.

“Come on, everyone, turn on the ignition.”

As the selected members, everyone started the engine without any problems.

“Can’t you see the mode selection? Press that If you put your finger on it, it will be pressed.”

The screens floating on the side windows changed one by one, and children’s exclamations were heard.

On the front window, there was a window to select one of four modes: control, shooting, transport, and battle.

“First of all, I haven’t learned how to use an armament, so should I start with pilot training? The difficulty is ‘C’, which is the lowest.”

When the difficulty C of the control mode was pressed, a familiar screen appeared dozens of times over the past week.

Cliffs towering high on both sides.

As the difficulty level is low, the area is wide, but the winding canyons will come crashing down if you are a little careless.

To be precise, you will bump into it from this side.

Well, if it’s not at the level of going straight yet, you’ll be able to pass it easily.

Through this training, students will learn precise movements and agile movements.

Due to the nature of the helicopter that can float in one place or move sideways, it is possible to shorten the time by changing the movement method a little, so you can compete with the fastest person by measuring the time.

“Simple. When you leave, a timer pops up in the left corner of the window. Whoever gets through the canyon the fastest wins.”

Compete and win.

The students of the Military Academy had no choice but to respond to this word.

In an instant, the crowd became quiet.

Even the children who were murmuring outside felt nervous.

Looking forward to the good records of Cermia and Sein on the device,

“Then, let’s go!”

Sixteen magically embodied helicopters began to traverse their respective canyons.

There weren’t many dropouts from level C to level B, probably because we selected good friends.

And a few seconds after starting difficulty A.

「Kak!」

“Ah, ah… ….”

It’s bursting brightly.

Difficulty A of the problem added some elements to the narrow canyon.

For example, an attack towards this side.

Anti-aircraft guns were scattered on the floor, and soldiers with guns jumped out of the hole in the middle of the cliff and fired their magic.

I even decorated it in a cute way because I thought it might inflict trauma if I made it unnecessary and real.

The adorable white rabbits were rolling their feet and aiming at the carrot-shaped anti-aircraft guns this way.

The magic fired from the carrot was not cute at all.

Magic with the same destructive power as a real anti-aircraft gun lightly brushed past the aircraft.

The trick to passing through this place is to read the direction of the enemy anti-aircraft guns in advance and avoid them to the right location.

How many people can make it possible with monster-like visual acuity and agility?

In a state where you haven’t mastered all the controls already.

What ordinary friends should do is connect with the spirits.

In the simulation device, one intermediate wind spirit and one fire spirit resided.

Children with high spirit-friendliness must have already noticed.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in high difficulty, whether you can attack them depends on how well you use them.

Slightly tilted the aircraft to avoid the bloody magic and raised the altitude.

“Erif. Can’t you attack this?”

It was Shane’s voice.

It seemed like his hands were itching because he was in charge of the attack when riding a helicopter together.

“I only implemented it in shooting or combat mode.”

Walking through the gorge, listening to the mournful sighs of children.

After more than half the time, the children whose screens were intact were less than five.

Most of them were shot down by anti-aircraft guns, and the rest were thrown out because they were startled by the shooting soldiers and hit a cliff or floated too high to get out of the canyon.

「Ah!」

Another person was hit.

Are there three left now?

The remaining section was short, but the enemy’s air defense network and the winding path of the canyon were exquisitely formed.

There is a trick to going through this place, but it won’t fall if you get hit by one or two anti-aircraft guns, so you just have to keep your speed fast and get out between the cliffs.

That’s because it’s hard.

I increased my speed and entered the final section.

Before the cliff approaches the nose, turn in advance and turn to the next course.

Intermediate When the Spirit of Wind suggests a safe route, the Spirit of Fire analyzes the enemy’s attack route and gives an appropriate speed.

The last section was cleared in an instant by handling levers and pedals with movements close to instinct.

Now let’s look at the situation of our friends.

Chijik

Another screen went dark.

The two remaining faces were floating at the top of the screen, but, not surprisingly, they were Chermia and Shane.

They drove frantically into the last section.

They already had the spirits level affinity.

You can feel even the low-level wind spirits through the contract with Sila, so you must be getting help from the middle-level spirits even now.

The screens of the two were changing tensely.

The cliff gets closer and then turns suddenly, and the view goes down as if you are trying to directly check the anti-aircraft guns below…….

Finally, both of them scored almost at the same time, and the simulation ended with applause from everyone.

It was the moment when the two main characters were reborn as real ‘main characters’.
