Poseidon in Arknights

Then, Xiyue put down the black tea and picked up a small board on the table, writing something on it.

[On-site response: Pass]

[Bullet Tactical Application: Pass]

[Double engraving can be used initially, but are there any other methods?]

“I’ve seen enough of the fighting.” After finishing writing, Yuuki put down the board, picked up the red tea next to her, and took a sip. “Let’s make it a little rougher.”

------------

"Understood." Razer nodded, then used his shield to knock down an approaching enemy. "Advance carefully; the number of enemies seems to be increasing."

"You make it sound so easy," Franka said, leaping back to dodge the incoming arrow. "They're not just getting more and more numerous, they're clearly getting more and more powerful."

"Three tough shots, then burst fire." Jessica gritted her teeth and, facing the enemies constantly surrounding her, could only take out the few level-three marked bullets she had.

To be honest, because the level three imprints were more than enough for most of the enemies they would face, Jessica didn't release many.

Therefore, Jessica only learned three types of marks during her studies, with Blazing Flame being the mark used to deal with enemies in a wide area.

Jessica first fired a green-glowing bullet at Razer and Franka respectively, then quickly turned the pistol around and aimed it at her shoulder.

As the bullet, glowing with green light, struck Jessica's shoulder, a green light instantly enveloped her body.

"Thanks." After noticing that she was covered in green light, Franka became bolder and stopped trying to dodge the incoming arrows.

The created enemies, of course, wouldn't let Franka, who was now almost completely vulnerable, go unpunished. The enemies holding the road instantly unleashed a barrage of arrows at Franka.

However, Franka ignored the incoming arrows and charged towards the enemy. When the arrows touched the green light on Franka's body, they seemed to be blocked by the light, and after a brief stalemate, they fell to the ground.

Although the light dimmed slightly with each block, that was enough time for Franka to rush into the enemy ranks and wield her sword.

Relying on the green light emanating from her body, Franka made no attempt to defend herself, allowing the enemy's attacks to fall upon her at will.

She had already benefited from Jessica's resources many times in previous battles, and she knew roughly the limit of this green light. Now, she was still far from that limit.

But in the next instant, the enemy whom Franka had cut down pulled a wooden stick out of his pocket, and then, to Franka's surprise, pulled hard on the rope attached to the stick.

"Damn it, do you have to do this..." Before Franka could finish speaking, the grenade in the enemy's hand exploded, blasting Franka away violently.

"Spirit Healing!" Jessica raised her hand immediately upon hearing the explosion, and fired two shots at Franka with her white pistol. "Senior Franka!"

"I'm alright. Luckily, the light just disappeared." Franka took a deep breath. Fortunately, Yuuyue didn't really want to kill her. If the explosion had happened any later, and the light on Franka had dissipated a little, that explosion would have really been a disaster.

--------------

Bang! The door to the room where Yuuki was located was violently smashed open by Razer with his shield, and Jessica and the other two filed in.

clap clap.

At this moment, Yu Yue's applause rang out. Looking at the three people who looked a bit disheveled, she smiled. Although she said at the beginning of the assessment that they could really die if they were not careful, it was just to scare them.

She was very clear about Jessica's learning progress, and knew exactly which bullets Jessica had learned to use and what bullets she should have.

When he creates water-based attacks, they almost always hit that line, which can hurt Jessica and the others, but as long as Jessica reacts quickly, they won't suffer much damage.

Even in training scenarios involving the use of grenades or other explosive devices, these tactics were only employed after the individuals had taken adequate protective measures, resulting in at most minor injuries.

Just as Yuuki said at the beginning, this was just a test of Jessica's overall abilities, a test of when to use which bullet and what bullet should be used, nothing more.

In the end, Yuuki was quite satisfied with the result. It has to be said that Jessica also suffers from a certain fear of insufficient firepower.

In the battle just now, not a single bullet was ordinary; they were all marked bullets. Even the bullets fired from the black pistols were either marking bullets or armor-piercing bullets.

You have to know that this can't be mass-produced; it has to be engraved one by one.

"You've worked hard." Yu Yue patted the dust off Jessica's head, then looked at Razer and Franka with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry for using rather harsh methods during the training."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Franka patted the dust off her head. "It's just a matter of getting used to each other, although you were a bit too harsh."

“Hmm.” Razer nodded as well. “It’s quite common for a test to result in injury.”

Razer then looked at Jessica beside him: "And through this test, we can also better understand all of Jessica's tactical styles, which is very important to us."

"Is that so?" Xi Yue nodded, and the surrounding buildings instantly collapsed, the eerie blue that enveloped the entire training ground quickly fading away. "Let's go back. Would you like to rest at my place for a bit?"

"Hmm?" Razer raised his hand. Just as the dark blue color faded, he felt a cool sensation. The phantom pain that had been lingering in his body also vanished in that instant.

"Hmm~" Franka clenched her fist. "Thanks."

If Jessica's bullet engraving has any drawbacks, it's that, apart from a few engravings, none of the healing bullets have any pain-relieving effect.

Although having Phantom Pain on you during battle is very unpleasant, Razer and the others also requested that unless Jessica could master the ability of dual imprints, they should not waste bullets and instead focus on imprinting imprints with pain-relieving effects.

Since all bullets with healing effects lose their normal killing power, wasting a bullet just to relieve pain is actually a wasteful act in combat.

After all, you only hurt once with this bullet. The next time you get injured, the pain will come back. Are you going to use another bullet to stop it again?

"It's nothing," Xi Yue smiled. "How about coming over to my place for a while?"

Razer raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "No, it's getting late, and this test is going to take a little longer than expected."

"Really?" Yuzuki picked up her phone and glanced at the time. "It does seem to be a little later."

"Hmm, do you like black tea? Or coffee?"

——————Rhodes Island? Accommodation Area? Corridor

------

"Get some rest." Yu Yue was at the end of the corridor, just walking towards Jessica and the others on the other side. "No classes tonight, you've had enough to do today."

"Hey, can't we have class today?" Jessica was a little stunned when she heard Xi Ye's words.

“It’s already this late, you should get some rest.” Yu Yue flicked Jessica’s head. “Consider it a day off for you.”

"Ooh~" Jessica rubbed her forehead where she had been flicked. "Okay, I'll get some rest."

“That’s more like it,” Yuuki smiled and waved her hand. “See you all tomorrow.”

"See you tomorrow, Miss Yuzuki." Franka stretched. "You must be quite tired today."

"Miss Yuzuki, see you tomorrow." Razer gently patted Franka's lower back, reminding her to be mindful of her image.

"Goodbye, Ms. Yuzuki."

"See you tomorrow." Yu Yue waved again and turned to walk towards her room. "Let's deal with another problem now."

Their room wasn't far from here. After walking for a short while, Xiyue saw a somewhat awkward figure standing at her door.

"Good evening." Yuuki looked at Skadi, who was pacing back and forth at the door, and said, "Isamara."

"Whoa!" Isamara, who had been facing away from Yuuki, trembled violently upon hearing Yuuki's voice. She then turned around instantly and looked at Yuuki with reverence.

"Good evening, Lady Yuzuki." Isamara clasped her hands together, looking very awkward.

"Hmm?" Yu Yue looked at Isamara with some surprise. Why did this child seem so timid after so long? She wasn't like this when they first met.

"Good evening." Xi Yue walked over and patted Isamara's head. "Come in, I'll make you a cup of coffee. How long have you been standing here?"

"Half an hour?" Isamara recalled the way of time in this land that she had learned from Skadi.

--------------

Isamara sat on the sofa, looking somewhat uneasy at Yuzuki who was making coffee. She wanted to help, but didn't know what she should do.

So Isamara could only poke the little orca's spiritual entity in the mental world: "What should I do now?"

"Just wait for Yuzuki to make the coffee," Skadi said, lying on the dark sea of ​​her spiritual world. "Nothing needs to be done, right?"

"that's all?"

"Here you go." Yu Yue finished brewing the coffee, poured a cup, and placed it in front of Isamara. "What brings you here today?"

Isamara sat obediently on the sofa: "Actually, it was Skadi who suggested that I come directly to you."

"Skadi suggested it?" Xi Yue was a little surprised to hear Isama say that. She had imagined that if the two of them met in the spiritual world, it would be good enough if they didn't fight. Skadi actually gave Isama advice.

“Yes,” Isamara nodded. “I would like to ask you for a favor.”

"Did I say you guys were noisy?" Xi Yue took a sip of coffee. "It's not that I hate you guys, it's just that I don't know if you can imagine a word being repeated billions of times, flooding you with messages every second."

"You can even hear everyone's voice clearly. It's not that I don't want to talk to you, it's just that it's quite noisy."

“I don’t understand what you mean, Lady Yuzuki.” Isamara’s eyes were somewhat blank. “We have always communicated in this way.”

"Is that so?" Yuuki nodded, but didn't insist that the other person understand her meaning. Finally, Yuuki pointed to the coffee on Isamara's table, "Won't you have a sip?"

Today, the Western Regions said this, and Isamara Rock picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, just like Xiyue had just done: "It feels very comfortable."

“Oh, no.” Isamara respectfully placed the coffee cup back in its place. “I’ve come here to ask Ocean for another favor.”

Yuzuki smiled, holding her coffee cup: "Tell me, what do you need my help with?"

“I want you to take me back to the main group,” Isamara said, looking at Yuuki. “I want to go back to the main group, but I can’t contact them from here.”

“Is that so? I understand.” Xi Yue nodded. He could roughly guess why Isamara wanted to go back, so Xi Yue walked over and sat down next to Isamara.

"Come here." Xi Yue stretched out her hand and opened it. "Give me your hand."

Upon hearing Yuuki's words, Isamara grasped her hand without hesitation, and the moment their hands met, the surroundings fell into complete silence.

The deep blue gradually enveloped the living room, and Isamara felt her body sink as the warm seawater enveloped her.

"Huh?" Skadi suddenly appeared next to Isamara for some reason. "Eh?"

“It’s nothing, don’t be surprised.” Yuuki said, stepping on the water and looking at Skadi who seemed a little dazed. “I only brought the spiritual form here; the real body is still on Rhodes Island.”

"Oh." Skadi nodded, a little confused. He hadn't understood what she meant, but since she continued to say it was okay, then it must be okay.

"Oh, by the way, just a heads up, cover your ears with your hands, although it might not mean anything..."

Before Xiyue could finish speaking, a continuous roar came from the surrounding sea.

[Ocean! Ocean! Ocean! Ocean! Ocean! Ocean! Ocean! Ocean! Ocean! Ocean!]

"Here we go again." Xi Yue shook her head helplessly. It was always the same every time they came. Xi Yue was too lazy to say anything. She didn't know if they did it on purpose or if they would listen to her if she said something, but they would never change.

Yu Yue sighed softly and looked at Isamara beside her, whose eyes were closed: "It seems we've connected to the local area network."

Chapter 157: The Choice of the Large Group

Isamara? Isamara is back? The Isamara group welcomes you back.

Compared to the enthusiastic welcome that Daqun was giving to Xiyue, Isamara's side was rather indifferent. After Daqun confirmed Isamara's return, they didn't respond at all.

Isamara had no objections, after all, she was just an ordinary sea child, only slightly special. The group welcomed any returning child, but that was all.
