From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 513: One-on-one tutoring by famous teachers
The sudden sound and its content immediately attracted everyone present to look in the direction where the sound came from.

When the people of Atlas saw the person who was speaking, they immediately dispersed and rearranged themselves into several square formations according to their military branches and responsibilities.

The instructors, led by the head of the instructor group, trotted over and stood at attention and saluted.

"Sir!"

"Take a break!"

Murat, Louis and Jacob saluted in return, then waved their hands to let everyone relax. Although there were some basic etiquette requirements in the Atlas combat troops, it was more of a disciplinary constraint.

In most cases, including "old people" like Murat, they actually prefer a more relaxed atmosphere.

The head of the instructor team thought for half a second and decided to speak up for Johnny Riding. After all, in his opinion, this kid just had a bad character and it was not necessary for Murat and other "group founders" and "original shareholders" to teach him a lesson personally.

You have to know that these "old ass" are the most fanatical "Amber fans" in the group. Normally, they can't stand to hear any bad words about Amber, so the instructor was afraid that Johnny Riding's words just now would anger them.

But just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw Murat wave his hand to make him hold back his words, and said at the same time: "It's okay, I saw the whole process, I know what happened~"

Murat walked around the crowd and came straight to Johnny Riding and the Rubion trainees. He was actually not much older than these young people. When he and Amber escaped from Robert IV, he was actually also a rookie.

It was just that the battles and experiences over the past two years had given him an air of majesty and murderous aura, which caused these young men from the Rubion galaxy to involuntarily take a small step back when he walked in front of the crowd.

Except for Johnny Riding, Manfred didn't retreat either, but he had to retreat for a long time under the pressure of the crowd.

At this moment, the talented young man who had become the focus of the whole audience still stood where he was, but he was still staring at Murat in front of him vigilantly.

He had come into contact with the HCP commander of the Atlas combat unit during previous training, and knew what this major, who was not much older than himself, had experienced.

Deep down, Johnny Riding naturally admired Murat, but the pride in his heart did not allow him to bow his head at this time, so he could only hold on and did not show any intention of retreating.

"Hmm~ You've improved since last time. You didn't back off when you saw me," Murat said with a smile, glancing down.
"Not bad, my legs are not shaking~"

As he said that, Murat walked up to Johnny Riding, then put his hand on his shoulder and clearly felt the 'genius boy' tremble.

Holding back the smile in his heart, Murat patted the shoulder of the boy beside him, and then said:

"What? Are you dissatisfied with my sharp criticism of your piloting skills? Then let's not waste time talking and use the most direct 'conversation method' between HCP pilots. Go to the recovery cabin and lie down for half an hour. I'll wait for you outside."

If it were an ordinary trainee, he would definitely find a way to save face, but unfortunately, this trainee's name was Johnny Ridden, and the future 'True Red Lightning' never had the word 'retreat' in his dictionary.

"Yes, sir!"

Johnny Riding saluted Murat with a determined look in his eyes, and then, under the worried gaze of his companions, walked towards the lounge next to the hangar. The recovery cabin inside could quickly relieve the fatigue of pilots and drivers, and at the same time, help them quickly restore their spirits through drugs and acupoint stimulation.

When the fleet is fighting, if it is not destroyed by someone outside, the HCP pilots and combat boat drivers basically run back and forth between the preparation room, the cockpit, and the lounge.

"No, are you sure you want to drive this thing? Isn't it a bit too reckless?" When Murat got into a 'blank Shield' without any additional equipment, only an electromagnetic rifle and a plasma heavy sword, Louis, who was standing on the maintenance table with his arms folded, asked worriedly.

Jacob beside him had a look of watching a show on his face, but he nodded in agreement: "Yes, you are not an ordinary HCP pilot now. If you accidentally flip the car, you will not be the only one to lose face~"

"I said, can't you two say something nice?"

Murat rolled his eyes speechlessly, then continued:
"Are my skills so poor in your eyes? Are you two so worried about fighting a kid with little practical experience?
Besides, if the boss knew that I bullied a rookie and officially opened the "full equipment" to go out, wouldn't he laugh at me for half a year?
Okay, okay, you guys go away first, and watch me give this 'genius' a 1-on-1 lesson from a master teacher~"

The commander-in-chief of the Atlas HCP force waved his hand, signaling Louis and his team to leave, then closed the cockpit door and activated the follow-up control system.

Soon, this seemingly bare-looking 'Holy Shield' rushed into the cold universe from the electromagnetic catapult track on the right side of the heavy cruiser.

When Johnny Riding finished his recovery and flew out in the 'Holy Shield' assigned to him with the outer armor painted red, he soon saw through the body sensors the 'Holy Shield' in the training airspace, standing quietly in the void with its arms folded like a hermit.

"What the hell, a whiteboard machine? Are you so confident?"

Looking at the opponent's weapon container which was empty except for the heavy sword and the electromagnetic rifle - even the spare magazine of the electromagnetic rifle was not loaded, Johnny Riding suddenly felt the pressure of driving the fully equipped Holy Shield.

After all, the blank Aegis and the fully-equipped Aegis can be said to be two completely different machines, whether it is firepower, protection or additional mobility, they are completely not in the same league.

Through this period of training, Johnny Riding knows that the 'Holy Shield' is definitely an excellent HCP because of its basic performance and powerful expansion capabilities.

But the key point is precisely on the "powerful expansion capability". Most of the combat power of this machine is actually in the additional equipment and weapon containers. Without these things, the combat power will definitely be greatly reduced.

"coming?"

Murat, who was resting with his eyes closed in the cockpit, did not say anything more after hearing the prompt sound from the aircraft's sensor and seeing Johnny Riding flying into the airspace. Instead, he took out his electromagnetic rifle and plasma heavy sword.

"I won't waste my words. You will understand some things after the fight."

As soon as Murat finished speaking, Johnny Riding saw the white holy shield in the middle of the full-circle screen flash, then immediately disappeared from the field of vision and was unlocked.

"Fuck! Is this really the acceleration of a whiteboard machine???"

At that moment, Johnny Riding actually captured Murat's movement trajectory, so he immediately adjusted the direction of the machine, and at the same time the charged particle cannon on his left shoulder fired directly in the direction he predicted.

"Fool, you hit the wrong direction~"

As the purple beam of charged particles swept across the airspace, Johnny Riding heard Murat's relaxed voice.

Immediately afterwards, a series of orange-red bullets shot over from another direction, aiming directly at Johnny Ridden's cockpit!
