61 – Trial for Young Sprouts 4

Yuri and Ran really stuck together in the first test

What awaited them was, in some ways, a test method that suited them better than the first round.

If the gist of the first test was to find out the mobility as a hero, that is, the ability to put into the battlefield.

Now, the point of the 2nd test was to find out the actual fighting power when a direct battle with the villains took place.

– Crack! Chunk! Geee

Transformation while making a loud sound… No, unmanned weapons in combat readiness

AK-15 mk2

An enhanced version of the training robot AK-14 that was used during spring training the other day.

Unlike the AK-14, which was mainly used for instruction, it was one of the main weapons still in active service.

An existence with fighting power comparable to that of a C-class hero, slightly less than a B-class.

This guy was the ‘enemy’ that the students had to deal with in a group of two in this exam, and he was the one who could be called the exam assignment.

“Umm.. It won’t be easy.”

“Even if it looks like that, it was made to be able to defend quite a few abilities. It probably won’t be easy to destroy with the level of ability students use.”

The guys wrapped in a special metal called Febrinium had the power to nullify abilities below a certain level.

Of course, there was a limit to its defensive ability, but at least it couldn’t be knocked down with a fair amount of hits.

Looking at such a weapon.

Minerva calmly began to think about whether glass could pass this test.

‘AK-15 mk2.. I’ve beaten it a few times before, but it wasn’t that strong. The problem… Is that this is only up to my standards, and I can’t judge what Yuri’s case will be like…’

Although Yuri had some basic skills and was accustomed to using her abilities, Minerva was honestly concluding that the odds were half and half in this test.

Looking at it calmly, Yuri’s combat power was lacking in many ways against the AK-15 mk2.

No matter how much the killing power was removed, the body reminiscent of a giant grasshopper was equipped with poison needles for long-range attacks in addition to weapons for close combat.

In addition, his agility is also quite high, so it can be said that he is a very tricky enemy for Yuri, who does not have the means to use his abilities to inflict effective hits without actually getting close.

‘But .. Even so, if there is a chance that Yuri can approach even once, he might be able to predict victory. Yuri’s ability can exert power close to impermanence when it comes to destruction…’

Although there was a limit in that it could not keep up with the speed of recovery due to the vast difference in capabilities, it was Yuri who succeeded in breaking through some of Minerva’s shield anyway.

With her ability like this, she should be able to inflict a useful attack on that steel weapon surrounded by Febrinium.

However.. Due to the problems mentioned above, Minerva’s mind was still uneasy, and her gaze was the only person who could actually help Yuri in this situation..

She turned to a curious-looking girl named Jeo Yu-ran.

‘A kid whose abilities are not yet known, and whose name isn’t known.. But first of all, her basic physical strength seems to be better than Yuri’s.

Depending on the situation, rather than being helpful, this existence might end up holding Yuri’s ankles.

At that point, Minerva let out a sigh of deep concern as she felt once again that she hadn’t become the same Joe as Yuri.

‘Haa.. It’s a request, so please be nice to me.. As for Yuri.. And that little girl named Ran..’

Minerva entered the test site according to her own turn, which had come before her.

Looking at her, her face full of pensiveness, her girl in the same group said as if to reassure her Minerva.

“Don’t worry. With Minerva-sama’s skills, you should be able to take care of that level lightly.”

“Huh? Ah… huh..”

Minerva corrects her expression slightly, recognizing that her worries about Yuri have suddenly jumped out of her face at the words of her assistant.

And…

In front of Minervi, who finished her preparations for the test, an AK-15 mk2 slowly maneuvered towards her.

– Crack! Chunk!

A steel weapon that preferentially takes a shooting stance while emitting a loud mechanical sound.

When she was hit, it fired a venom-coated stinger that paralyzed 30cm of her body, preparing to attack the target being picked up by her own sensors.

And…

-Pusuk!

With a sharp sound cutting through the wind, the poison needle flew straight toward Minerva’s crew.

In response, the girl quickly used her powers… She made an attempt to defend against flying poison needles by using telekinesis (psychokinesis).

But…

‘! What… what? Won’t you stop Stand… No way…’

A poisonous needle that incapacitates her abilities as if she were shaking them off, and flies unstoppably.

Only then did the girl realize that her poison needle was also made of febrinium, and for a moment, a deep embarrassment began to settle on her face.

But…

-Ting!

“Huh?”

From noble mtl dot com

The next moment, a bronze barrier suddenly rose in front of her.

At this, the girl started to look blank for a moment…

Facing her, Minerva spoke in her calm voice.

“Stay back. I will finish it soon.”

“Uh.. Huh?… Ah… huh… Ah.. I see…”

A girl who blushes in response to Minerva’s words with a slightly trembling voice.

With her behind her, her Minerva started walking slowly in front of her.

In response, the iron weapon changed her attack target to Minerva and immediately began firing poison needles once more.

But…

-Ting!

At some point, a bronze shield wrapped around Minerva’s body.

As a result, the poison needle bounced off her body without even scratching it, and the steel weapon sensed that a long-range attack was useless and raised its leg reminiscent of a praying mantis’s front leg.

And…

“! Up.. Danger… “

– Bang!

Forelimbs falling straight on Minerva’s head

Although the blade part of the leg has a blunt shape with no blade standing, and it is equipped with an anti-shock sponge, it can be said that it has no cutting power. Nevertheless, with such an impact, if it is hit incorrectly, it could be fatal to the level of a fracture.

A girl who realizes that fact and closes her eyes for a moment without even knowing the picture.

However, after a while.. Due to a situation that was somehow excessively calm, she carefully opened her eyes and saw her scene..

-Interceptor… Intervening profits…

A steel weapon that is still halfway still, emitting strong frictional sounds and mechanical sounds that seem to have gone wrong.

At this moment, even though it strikes Minerva’s body, it is unable to do any damage…

At this Minerva spoke in a low voice.

“I’m talking about the ideal metal, Febrnium, but this is probably the limit. There is nothing in the world that can pierce my bronze shield.”

With those words, Minerva makes the wall rise again from the ground.

The result…

– Bang!

A steel weapon that was destroyed by a bronze shield rising from the ground in the abdomen where the core still exists.

At the end of that, the AK-15 mk2 lost its power and sat down on the floor. Seeing this, Minerva let out a small sigh.

‘As expected, with this level, there is nothing wrong with me. The problem is how Yuri deals with this guy..’

Minerva doesn’t feel a great sense of accomplishment in this job as it wasn’t a problem to pass or not in the first place.

At this moment, what interests her is neither the girl of the same group whose eyes are shining once again as she looks at herself, nor the steel weapon that has become a lump of scrap metal in front of her eyes.

She is only full of her worries about Yuri having to fight against a guy like this…

On the other hand,

As she feared, at this moment, in another test room located a little away from where she was, Yuri was feeling intense tension and strain against the steel weapon in front of her eyes.

‘Really… Can I take this guy down? Even though I’ve been practicing all this time…’

In the midst of such uneasy feelings, Yuri is ready to fight.

Then…

Looking at her like that, her ran said with a bright smile on her lips.

“Don’t be so anxious. Did you pass the previous exam safely? Now that we’ve come this far, just as you said, let’s make sure to send something today.”

“… Huh..

With Ran’s encouragement, Yuri nods her head to win her heart.

Continued, she began to approach the weapon, which was poised for battle in her direction.
