Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 315 314. Chopping melons and vegetables is a bit more difficult than this (rd update)
The so-called mercenary machine training, in simple terms, is to sit in the classroom, enter the cockpit perspective through special eyepieces, and then fight in this way.

The point is, this seat is specially made to simulate, to a certain extent, the G-force that the aircraft can bring...part of it.

If any students want to become corporate mercenaries in the future, they can prepare in advance. On the other hand, other students can also witness this level of combat... in a non-physical machine mode.

The school buildings are so valuable, how can they be destroyed at will? Such non-physical bodies can be seen by all students without damaging school facilities, and at the same time they can train the new generation of drivers.

Seifer didn't care about this matter, because if remotely operating a machine could be so easy, independent mercenaries would have been out of work long ago.

Just the thought of how to keep communication smooth is enough to give these people a headache - let's ignore that for now and focus on the present.

The boy was pushed into the cockpit by Cypher's hand. "It's simple. You've already put a year's worth of training into this course, right?"

He nodded, and the people around him also talked about how although this guy skipped classes every day, in terms of practical operation, there were not many people in the class who could match him.

"That's good. So you see, I've only been piloting mechas for... less than two months. You definitely have an advantage over me, right?"

After just a few words, the young man's energy and blood immediately became vigorous - just think about it, he defeated the special teacher and even the independent mercenary in actual combat!

The two of them sat in their own cockpits. Seifer put on the goggles and felt that everything in front of him changed immediately. The environment inside the cockpit was... quite realistic.

Then it was time to adjust the machine. Cypher looked at it for a few seconds and was surprised to find that the database was updating quite quickly, and it had even updated to the current mainstream and experimental machines and weapons.

Considering that he couldn't bring too much psychological trauma to the young people, Seifer chose heavy-duty bipedal and high-output propulsion without hesitation.

Dual long shotgun shells, a rapid-fire shoulder cannon, and a particle generator.

It's a shame the database doesn't have the "wheelchair" foot. But if you think about it, that thing is actually ridiculous. The design department couldn't possibly create that kind of foot.

After the adjustment was completed, the campus area in front of the machine quickly lit up. There was still a little time for preparation before the combat control was handed over to Cypher, and Cypher unexpectedly discovered... there was someone moving under his feet.

Students' cheers could be heard outside; some had probably already gone to the rooftop to watch the battle. What Cypher couldn't see was that two slightly illusory mechas had indeed appeared outside.

They were so far apart, like phantoms, and the big guys in the city had long been accustomed to the existence of such things.

In the communication, the boy shouted loudly: "I'm ready. Please teach me!"

"No one on the battlefield will be as polite as you..." As Cypher spoke, the machine had already begun to move forward, shuttling back and forth between the streets and various high-rise buildings and campus buildings.

The opponent's body configuration, armament, and direction are unknown... The scanning signal can detect that the opponent is approaching rapidly. The moment Seifer suddenly pushed out from behind the cover, he saw the artillery vehicle.

Heavy tank legs, a heavy upper body and thickly armored arms.

Arm weapons: Dual revolver heavy machine guns. Back weapons: vertical split rocket launcher cylinders, 4X4 continuous.

He instantly judged the opponent's intentions, and at the same time as those vertical launch rockets shot up into the sky, Seifer had already piloted the aircraft to quickly retreat between the two buildings.

To be honest, it's hard to understand what the guys using heavy firepower are thinking... It's not a coordinated operation, so aren't they afraid of not being able to afford the ammunition costs if they fight like this?
Vertically launched rockets trailed grayish-white flames from the sky. Seifer had already left his cover, darting across streets, tall buildings, and even overpasses. Despite their thick armor and heavy tank chassis, they were still incredibly fast... What the hell did you do, Phantom Mist Group?
If a normal tank had charged like this, the crew would have been shaken to death long ago.

In just two laps, under the enemy's "boom boom boom" roar of fire, Cypher had already reached a very close distance - the shrill alarms of the machine were constantly blaring, and even the seats were creaking under the heavy weight.

Because Cypher began to sprint forward quickly, the heavy body was given a speed far beyond the general understanding of a "weapon" at that moment. When it suddenly jumped forward, the G-force had completely exceeded the safety threshold... but it was still increasing!

When he was almost at the distance of his opponent, Cypher suddenly moved sideways, causing the upper body of the machine to twist half a circle, but it still couldn't keep up with the speed.

Then, with two "boom bang" shots, all the arrow-shaped bullets hidden in the long heavy shotgun shells were fired out, smashing hard into the radiator grille armor behind the opponent!

The machine staggered suddenly, and one could even hear the boy's screams, but Cypher had no intention of stopping. He manually aimed the shoulder cannon at the area where the opponent wanted to jump, and fired the cannon.

A loud bang and a fiery explosion instantly knocked the machine to the ground. Even the tank's feet couldn't keep it balanced... but the attack was not over yet.

The particle light knife was ignited, and the blazing light that gushed out was extremely brilliant in the air. As the machine was swung, a red glow immediately burst out from the machine that fell to the ground.

Then there was a violent explosion.

Along with the explosion, there was also a somewhat miserable scream from the seat next to me - I forgot to mention that this device is still connected to the city's overall system, so the guy who was defeated in this way will still be electrocuted.

This battle... the entire time was 0 minutes and 58 seconds, which was two seconds short of a minute.

The spectators didn't even have time to put their snacks into their mouths before the situation was reversed in an instant. When the firepower and the ferocious machines suddenly killed each other, those who were close by even had the illusion that flames were rushing towards them.

The sound of the battle ending rang out, and Cypher took off his goggles. The surrounding environment immediately returned to normal, with a study area similar to a cockpit.

Next door, the boy was still twitching. The simulated G-force and the pain after the defeat made him almost vomit. He had completely lost the arrogance he had before the battle.

...How should I put it? As an independent mercenary who has participated in many battles, isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to come here and bully children?

While thinking, Seifer glanced out the window and unexpectedly saw a strange machine slowly turning around and walking to the other side not far away.

It seemed that all the students were used to its existence and no one raised any objections.

…It often attacks the technical department when they are out doing experiments, but no one cares about it or tries to defeat it?

Seifer shook his head, stood up from his chair, calmly accepted the compliments and curious inquiries from the students around him, and walked over to easily pull the boy up from his chair.

"Alright, you guys continue studying. I have a few questions for him, so don't worry... After all, I'm a teacher now, so I can't just bury someone and pretend they never existed."

This was said as if someone had actually been buried underground before. After this little episode, many students asked on the message board about the origins of this teacher who had threatened to clear the way after a disagreement...
