"And then what? What happens after you get to the new recruit training camp?"

Mao chuckled and shook his breasts, saying, "The first guy I met was a pure-hearted, well-mannered, and dull-witted fellow who wasn't good at shooting rifles...!" He paused here.

“Completely the opposite of Cruz!” Kaname immediately voiced her opinion of Cruz. After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize something and said, “No way, could it be…!”

“That’s trainee Cruz-Wiba!” Mao interjected. Amidst the surprised expressions of Xiaoyao and Tessa, Mao continued, “He has a delicate face and came to me privately to discuss something!” He then recounted the scene.

………………

Inside the training camp's storeroom, Cruz feigned innocence and said to Mao, "Yes, I don't have any special skills, especially with rifles. I'm not even up to the average person's level. Sergeant, I probably won't be able to keep up with the courses at this training camp."

"What?! This guy has no ambition at all!" Mao, who still didn't know Cruz's true nature, felt a little sorry for the 'simple' boy in front of him.

At this moment, Cruz spoke up, "Yes, what I need right now isn't training... but love! The so-called warmth...!" He slowly walked towards Mao, feigning intoxication as he said, "Sir, this is my lifelong request, please let me cry on your chest! Of course... completely naked!" As he spoke, his pants had somehow fallen down, and he pounced on Mao, who, startled by Cruz's actions, slipped and fell to the ground. The scene then shifts back to the bathroom, where Mao watches with great interest as Kaname and Tessa react.

"Terrible!" Xiaoyao and Tessa said at the same time, then asked simultaneously, "And then?"

"And then... hehe! An interesting fellow appeared...!" Mao said with a laugh.

........................

Just as Cruz tackled Mao, the tightly closed warehouse door was violently flung open from the outside. This caused Cruz, who was up to his mischief, to tremble involuntarily, seemingly frightened. Mao quickly punched Cruz away and looked at the situation outside. She saw an excessively handsome boy of about sixteen years old looking at her with suspicion. In his hand, the boy was holding a human-shaped object—it was Cruz, the trainee she had just knocked away. Although Mao was surprised by the boy's age and appearance, she was about to 'vent' her anger on Cruz when the boy's actions stunned her. The boy tossed Cruz aside and saluted her, saying, "Good day, Sergeant. I am Trainee Dong Tian. I'm here to take Trainee Cruz to training!"

"Dong...Tian, ​​is that right?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Forget what just happened!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!" the boy replied solemnly, then saluted before hoisting Cruz onto his shoulder and sprinting away at top speed, leaving Mao looking on in astonishment.

"Wow, was it like this back then? It's completely different from when we were in school!" Kaname exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, Sergeant Dong Tian has changed a lot!” Tessa nodded in response.

"And then what?"

"And then...!" Mao said with a smile.

...The scene shifts to inside the training camp...

"Can I borrow some time?" Mao walked into the trainees' dormitory and asked from behind someone who was cleaning a gun.

Hearing someone speaking to him, Sagara Retsu turned his head. Mao was slightly surprised when he saw Sagara's age, but then he returned to normal and said, "So, you are the Sou-Kei - Sagara Ryo?"

“Absolutely! To be precise, it’s Sousuke-Saraga!” Sagara said in a calm tone.

"So, you're the one who defeated Harrell's M6?"

"I was just lucky!"

"You're lying. It's impossible to rely on luck alone!"

"Then it must have been a mistake by the opponent!"

…………In the bathroom…………

"What a strange conversation!" Xiao Yao complained.

"That's right, so I was planning to give up at the time, but unfortunately, another idiot came back at the same time!"

Is that Wiba?

"Well, he actually said to me, 'Are you here to steal from me?' Saying such a tasteless thing to an officer made me lose my temper..." Mao said, making a shooting gesture.

...The scene shifts back to the training camp...

Outside the freshman training camp, a torrential downpour was raging. Inside, Mao was pressing a gun against Cruz's jaw, while Cruz calmly said, "You'll get hurt, miss!"

"Give it a try, kid!" Mao said with a slight smile.

Just then, a figure walked in through the door. Upon seeing the person, Cruz immediately smiled and said, "Why are you back so early today? Wow!"

The person who walked in was Dong Tian, ​​who was completely soaked from the rain. Dong Tian looked at Cruz, who was being held at gunpoint by Mao, and immediately asked Mao, "Sir, what wrong has Cruz done?"

"Yes, an unforgivable crime!" Mao said solemnly.

"Then please continue, Your Excellency!" Dong Tian said immediately after hearing Mao's answer.

"Hey...hey!" Cruz said immediately after hearing Dong Tian say that.

Dong Tian completely ignored Cruz's calls, went straight to his wardrobe, took off his completely wet coat, and then, to Mao's astonishment, took off his pants as well.

"Hey... what are you doing?" Mao asked.

Hearing Mao shout like that, Dong Tian replied without turning his head, "Change your clothes, Your Excellency! That way you won't get sick; it's common sense!" (This was what the female researchers at the base said to Dong Tian before he regained his memories; they were actually taking advantage of him!)

"Damn it...!" Mao threw Cruz aside and stormed out the door in a rage.

Chapter 157 The Three from the Past 2

"Wow! You mean Dong Tian just took off his clothes right in front of you without a care in the world! Seriously... I don't know what to say!" Xiao Yao said, somewhat incredulously.

"I think I understand! But it really fits their personalities!" Tessa recalled the information she had seen about Dong Tian and quickly guessed it, because the information stated that 'Dong Tian' was sent to that training camp not long after he woke up, so it was normal that he didn't know these common facts.

“Yes! I immediately added them to my ‘three-person team that will never be substitutes’!” Mao said, leaning against the edge of the bathtub like Xiao Yao. Then, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips as he continued, “But what really got worse was that afterwards, the Peruvian president’s daughter was kidnapped by a twisted terrorist organization. At the request of the Peruvian government, we carried out that rescue operation!” As Mao finished speaking, a voice came over the loudspeaker: “Colonel Testarossa, please come to the central command room, there is…!”

........................

The iron gate, marked with the word 'female', slid open automatically to one side with a scraping sound. Tessa, already dressed in her uniform, stepped out. She then turned to Mao, who was still soaking in the bathtub, and said, "What a pity! Melissa, tell me next time!" With that, she left, and the iron gate closed automatically shortly after her.

"I even get called out while I'm taking a shower. Being a captain must be tough!" Xiao Yao said, looking in the direction Tessa had left.

"What should we do? Let's get out of here before we get too dizzy!" Mao suggested to Xiao Yao.

"Okay!" Xiaoyao immediately agreed and prepared to leave the bathroom, but after standing up, she seemed to remember something and went back into the water, saying, "Maybe... I should soak a little longer!"

After Xiao Yao soaked in the bath again, Mao immediately understood what she was thinking, so he looked at her and said with a smile, "I really can't do anything with you! Because the instructors in the training camp are not enough, we recruited volunteers from the trainees and organized a hostage rescue team!"

"Did the three of them also volunteer?" Xiao Yao asked.

What a coincidence!

"Ah...!" (first sound)

"However, although those guys were some perverted terrorists, they had three ASs. Apart from me, Sagara, Wiba, and Dong Tian who were guarding the rear, the entire rescue team was wiped out and captured."

"So what happened next? What did you do?"

"Next... of course I let them reveal their true nature!"

"what?"

"That skinny conman who's bad at rifle shooting, the guy who deliberately got a mediocre score, and what looks like a clueless little 'kid'!"

"what!"

"As you know, Cruz is a top-notch rifle user, Sosuke is an expert in reconnaissance and AS operation, and Dong Tian... he seems like an innocent teenager, but his marksmanship is almost perfect, and his close-quarters combat is terrifying... I remember he subdued an AS with his bare hands! In the end, our four-man team successfully completed the mission," Mao recalled.

"Bare hands! AS...!" Kaname exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't be so surprised, this is only for an older machine like the RK92! If his opponent were an M9, he couldn't do it," Mao said, waving his hand.

"But, compared to the less than two-meter-tall sky, shouldn't the AS be the one to win?"

"Hmm... I think so too, but that guy's physical abilities are simply terrifying. After catching up with the AS running at high speed, he used incredible jumping ability and strength to climb onto the frog-like body of the RK92, and then used a pistol that any soldier could be equipped with to take down the pilot inside that behemoth, the RK92. So far, I've only seen him do it. That guy... isn't human, is he?" Mao said after taking a sip of his drink.

Upon hearing Mao's words, Xiao Yao immediately shouted, "He is a human being, a real human being!" He then glared angrily at Mao, who was drinking, because Xiao Yao already knew that Dong Tian was a human being created using science and technology that was nearly thirty years ahead of the rest of the world.

Mao paused slightly upon seeing Xiao Yao's expression, then smiled and apologized, "I know, I'm sorry! But Tian's physical abilities are just too abnormal. I've been with him for a year, and I've only ever seen him get injured once in battle!"

"Injuried?"

"Yes! It was the time I saved you!"

"Ah!" Xiao Yao was stunned when he heard Mao say that, and then his heart was filled with a strange feeling.

“That was the first time I saw Tian seriously injured. He was really… really…!” Mao paused here. Xiao Yao thought she was about to say something, so she unconsciously moved her body closer.

"...So cute!"

"Splash...!" After getting Mao's answer, Xiao Yao fell heavily into the water, then stood up and said, "Stop joking, at a time like this... you actually...!"

"Don't get excited, it's just a joke!" Mao said hurriedly with a smile. After Xiao Yao calmed down, Mao slowly said, "It's really scary. I can't imagine... someone who is not easily injured in any situation could be injured like that...!" As she said this, Mao had already dropped her previous nonchalant expression, and the beer can in her hand was crushed.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yao slowly said, "And then? What happened to the matter of discovering new talent?"

"What's wrong? As you can see right now!" Mao said with a smile.

“Hehe…yes!” Xiaoyao said with a smile.

Afterwards, when they finished dressing and opened the door to the makeshift bathroom, they saw Cruz standing outside with a lewd expression, in the position of someone eavesdropping. After being discovered by Mao, Cruz showed a frightened expression.

"What are you doing here?" Mao asked slowly.

"N-nothing... It's because of the losing side in the Bingo game, and in order to revive it... we don't have enough prizes!"

“The prizes aren’t enough, and you’re thinking about something lewd again… like ‘the captain’s favorite’ or something like that?” Mao said, looking at Cruz, who looked nervous.

“Definitely, he did say something like that!” Sagara, who was standing next to me, chimed in.

"Oh...!" Mao exclaimed, squeezing the beer can in his hand again.

Cruz looked at Mao as she slowly approached, and said with a slight tremor, "This... big... big sister, calm down, okay? Let's talk calmly! Ugh..."

Chapter 158 Crisis Approaches 1

After receiving the mission order, everyone gathered in the hangar to prepare for departure. Sagara looked preoccupied, because during the recent meeting, he had seen again a mobile suit of the same model as the silver AS, and it was also equipped with that mysterious weapon called 'λ-Drive'. Thinking of the deaths of his comrades in Afghanistan caused by his mistake, Sagara clenched his hands tightly.

"The major is really cruel! Knowing about the situation in Afghanistan, he still talked to Sosuke like that. λ-Drive, huh! What a terrifying opponent!" Cruz said, looking at Sagara who was discussing things with the technicians.

"There's nothing we can do. After all, only he came back last time. The Indian Ocean forces seem to believe that the incident was related to Sosuke!" Mao said in a calm tone.

"Don't worry, I trust Sosuke!" I said with a smile as I walked over to them.

"My God, when did you get here? Did you say goodbye to the lovely Miss Yao?" Cruz asked in a flippant tone.

“Yes! After all, this mission is no simple matter!” Mao nodded in agreement after hearing Cruz’s words.

"This? I've already told Xiaoyao, and she even told me to 'be careful'!" I said with a smile.

"Not bad! You're so sensible now... My God, you've changed so much compared to before!" Mao said, looking at me.

"Hehe! Isn't this great? I won't make the same mistakes I did with Sosuke anymore. I guess that means I've matured!" I said with a smile.
