The system handed me over to the state.

Hei hope left the room, and after a slight hesitation, Xi'er also resolutely chose to leave the room to meet her teammates.

A few minutes after the two left, Bronya arrived at the hall. At this time, only the five team members who had chosen Bronya remained in the hall. As she entered the hall, the five immediately stood up, and four of them excitedly said to Bronya, "Captain Bronya!"

Bronya nodded and gestured for the five to sit down. At the same time, she glanced out of the corner of her eye at the only one who wasn't excited, the black-haired girl named Xiao Mo.

However, just as Bronya glanced over out of the corner of her eye, Mo's gaze immediately followed, which surprised Bronya slightly. This girl named Mo was quite interesting.

"Alright, everyone, you all know who I am, so I won't waste any more time. Let's get straight to the point. I've reviewed all your information and have a good understanding of your abilities and interests."

"What we're going to do next is simple: a simple fight to show me your true strength."

Bronya snapped her fingers, and instantly the hall was rapidly enveloped and transformed by blue structural energy. In just a few seconds, a vast, deep blue platform, resembling a quantum space, appeared before everyone's eyes.

The four girls stared in astonishment at their surroundings. What...where was this place? What kind of ability was this? Space? Had they been suddenly transported to another place?

The four puzzled people turned their gaze to Bronya, while Moss's eyes remained fixed on Bronya, never leaving her.

Bronya smiled. "So... who should go first? How about... Moss? You try?"

Chapter 212: biu~

"...I couldn't ask for more!"

Moss flexed her wrists. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. What she wanted to do most now was to see what the difference was between herself and someone like Bronya.

She was already deeply impressed when she watched the battle videos of Bronya and the others. Whether it was Bronya setting up hundreds of cannons to bombard the enemy at the same time or her close combat, she felt extremely envious.

She is capable of doing so. Yes, after a brief period of telekinesis, her mental abilities underwent a new evolution: lightning. She can control lightning and also generate lightning out of thin air.

According to the doctor, the researcher named Yuri's training method would give all psychic abilities the ability to control the thoughts of others, or to provide strong personal suggestions that could alter wills.

However, the mental ability users cultivated in Shenzhou are somewhat different. Everyone's mental ability is initially based on telekinesis. After telekinesis reaches a certain level, it will gradually transform or evolve into entirely new abilities.

Lightning, fire, storms—these are all very common. It feels like being a superpowered being, only without the fancy stuff like transformations, physical enhancements, or space-time manipulation.

It's... a very simple, straightforward ability awakening.

Bronya herself did not undergo any mental ability development; she went directly to psionic power, which is fundamentally more powerful than mental abilities, both in terms of power and usability.

Bronya recalled Moss's information in her mind. Moss was not a veteran who had served for many years, but a new recruit who had only been in the army for half a year. The reason she was directly included in this project was that she had a mental potential that other candidates did not have.

According to the information, the girl showed some telepathic abilities when she was 14 years old. However, because of this special ability, she was ostracized by the people around her. Even her mother kept calling her a monster. In the end, she divorced her husband. Until she graduated from university, all her living expenses and care were borne by her father.

The document also includes a conversation between Moss and her father, which shows that although the father and daughter appear somewhat cold on the surface, they actually have a very good relationship.

In terms of performance, Moss has consistently been the best in ability tests, but her personality... is a little awkward, somewhat like a tsundere, only slightly better, not the kind of tsundere who can't even speak properly.

The ability is lightning, and according to the ability level classification, it is at level 6 out of 10. Currently, most psychic ability users are at level 5-6.

"How do you plan to fight? Should I hold back or go all out?"

Bronya flexed her wrists and neck, pondering how to properly instruct her team members. Moss, on the other hand, looked serious, showing no intention of relaxing, but rather preparing for the upcoming battle.

Bronya thought for a moment, and since she was being asked to give her all, then... fine!

Bronya then pulled out Heavy Bunny, and Moss was stunned. The next second, the Bunny instantly teleported in front of Moss and then punched her!

Moss flew up, then crashed to the ground with a thud and fell silent.

The four people next to her were all stunned. Bronya said innocently, "She told me to use my full strength, but I haven't used my full strength yet!"

The four teammates standing nearby fell silent. What else could they say?

........

"Um...I...I...I'm still alive?"

Moss opened her eyes immediately upon waking up, muttering these words to herself. She felt weak all over.

At that moment, Bronya's expression suddenly appeared in Moss's field of vision. Bronya looked serious and said, "You're awake. The surgery is over."

"Surgery?"

Moss was completely dumbfounded. Surgery? What kind of surgery? Why would she need surgery? Had something happened to her? She only remembered that giant robot punching her and sending her flying. Could it be... could it be that part of her body had been amputated?

"Yes, surgery. You are a healthy girl now."

"Huh?"

Moss froze, and Bronya's expression suddenly turned awkward. She blinked and said, "I think... I misspoke?"

"Hey! Captain, that's enough! You're just confusing Xiao Mo!"

The four teammates behind couldn't stand it any longer and rushed over to forcibly pull Bronya down. Moss then turned her head in confusion, "What... happened?"

To her surprise, she noticed that all four of her teammates had injuries, some covered in bandages and plasters, with bruises...

One of the team members sighed and said helplessly, "Don't even mention it... After you were taken away by the medical staff, the captain didn't let us off the hook either. We fought against her one by one. No... it was more like a brutal beating than a fight."

"The captain's combat ability... is simply beyond the reach of us ordinary people... and the captain... especially loves fighting. We were basically beaten so badly that we couldn't move before we had to stop."

As she spoke, the girl glanced at Bronya, who was looking at her phone, and then whispered, "Anyway, you must never tell the captain about fighting with all your might again. The captain said back then that she hadn't even used her full strength!"

If Bronya were to use her full strength, they would likely be reduced to dust within seconds of the start of the battle.

Moss was suddenly filled with fear and fell silent. Seeing that Moss was no longer speaking, a teammate reached out and stroked her face. "Don't worry, you will recover quickly. You can be discharged and resume your activities in about 5 days. Medical technology is very advanced now."

The four team members temporarily left the bedside. Bronya returned to her previous position and said with a smile, "Will you still like to say things like that in the future?"

Moss shook her head, and Bronya put away her phone. "That's right. You have to remember, there are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Even I wouldn't dare to say something like that so casually, but a young girl like you dares to say it. It seems that your strength has indeed given you a certain excessive confidence."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you get the attitude right in the upcoming training sessions, and I'll show you who's in charge! Biu~"

Bronya stretched out her hand, making a gun gesture and pointing it at Moss, then made a "biu" sound before turning around and leaving the ward. Moss, meanwhile, was lost in thought. What exactly was Captain Bronya's full power like?

Chapter 213: Indirect...Kiss?

"You actually managed to send your own teammate to the hospital... Just how much force did you use?"

After finishing work that evening and returning home via teleportation, Bronya and Blackie changed clothes in their room while discussing things. Bronya smiled and said, "She told me to use my full strength, and I did, but she couldn't handle it. Is it my fault?"

"Ha, you really have the guts to do that."

"Isn't that the case with you? Didn't you take good care of your teammates?"

Hei hope smiled and said proudly, "Hmph, I didn't take care of them. I just said a few words and left. I have no interest in spending any more time with them. But there were a few interesting guys who actually wanted me to fight them and teach them."

Blackie walked behind Bronya, wrapped her arms around her waist, and crossed them in front of Bronya's lower abdomen. "Bronya... tell me, what fun things should we do tonight?"

Bronya reached out and pressed her hand against Blackie's cheek from the side. "How about we go out for a meal together? It's been a long time since we've eaten out together, hasn't it?"

"Training starts tomorrow, and we'll be spending most of our time training these team members. We probably won't have any rest time after that, so let's take this last chance to go out for a meal?"

"I'm fine with that, but more than anything, I want to taste you!"

As she spoke, Blackie moved closer to Bronya's face, and Bronya's body trembled involuntarily. "I'm changing clothes, stop fooling around!"

"Hmph, that's not up to you."

Blackie spread her hands apart and reached under Bronya's skirt, while her other hand climbed up her waist.

"Bronya, let's go out for dinner together today!"

However, the door suddenly opened the next second, and Seele stood in the doorway, shouting happily. But when she saw the two people in an ambiguous position... she froze.

Blackie scoffed, withdrew her hand, and quickly moved away from Bronya's back. She then sat on the bed behind her. Bronya blushed and continued to put on her clothes, while Seele stood at the door with her head down, her emotions unclear.

Black Seele watched Bronya with a look of amusement. After Bronya finished dressing and combed her hair, she was about to speak when Seele suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Bronya.

“Seele...I....”

"No need to say anything! I know...I know everything!"

Seele clenched her hands tightly, raised her head, and her expression was stubborn and determined. "I will not give up!"

After saying that, he grabbed Bronya's collar with his right hand, pulled her down because she was taller than him, and then kissed her forcefully and deeply.

Watching the two's unrestrained scene from the side, Black Seele's expression gradually became somewhat inscrutable. After a long while, their lips parted, and Bronya's face turned even redder, as did Seele's. She turned to look at Black Seele and said earnestly, "I will not give up!"

"snort...."

Blackie stood up and walked up to Bronya. Bronya turned her head, her expression slightly embarrassed. "Um... let's not argue, can we... talk this out?"

Then, in the next second, Hei hope domineeringly tripped him with her foot, causing him to fall to the ground. Hei Xi then caught him and kissed him, just like a knight embracing and kissing a princess.

Seele's blush deepened again, and this time it lasted even longer. After it ended, Black Seele looked at Seele with a provocative gaze, "Don't think you have the upper hand. I got here before you, and... my relationship with her is much deeper than you think!"

Hei hope emphasized each word clearly, and Xi'er instantly thought of that scene.

Meanwhile, Bronya, leaning against the mirror beside her, felt a little dizzy. The long kiss made her greedily breathe in the air. Seele had just kissed her, and now Black Seele had kissed her too, so could this be considered... an indirect kiss between Seele and Black Seele?

"Um... I have a question for you."

Bronya interrupted their argument, then asked with a hint of doubt, "Seele, you just kissed me, and then Black Seele, you followed suit. Does that mean... you two indirectly kissed?"

Hei hope covered her face speechlessly, and Xi'er remained silent...

"Bronya, you big idiot!"

"Ouch! Stop hitting me! I know I was wrong! Put your sickles away, people will die, people will really die!"

..........

An hour later, in a hot pot restaurant, after entering a private room, Bronya and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seele asked with lingering fear, "We shouldn't have been recognized, right?"

"I think they've recognized us. The way those people looked at us said it all. How does it feel to be famous, you two?"

Bronya rolled her eyes. "Shouldn't you ask yourself that question first?"

"Heh, I don't care about any of that. If anyone bothers me, I don't mind giving them a good lecture on the philosophy of life."

Hei Xi's face was cold. After the three of them sat down, they began to order food. For the past six months, the fact that the Shadow Empire had invaded could not be hidden. So, after two months of training and deployment of all the mechs of the fire department and police, Shenzhou announced the existence of the Shadow Empire and the news of the invasion to all its citizens.

As expected, most people remained unmoved, but the internet was abuzz with discussion, with even old stories and strange events being dug up to explore whether they were related to the existence of the Shadow Empire.

Then came the gradually escalating invasion, because until now, if ordinary troops were to engage in urban warfare with the Shadow Empire's army, it could result in unpredictable casualties and property losses.

Therefore, the task of suppressing the Shadow Empire was temporarily handed over to the three of them, and the result... was obvious: only property was lost, with no casualties. Although the members of the cabinet had some reservations about Bronya and Blackie's fighting style, they had no choice.

Because of the three's public appearance, they became the subject of discussion on the internet. Some admired them, some criticized them, and some remained neutral. Opinions were mixed, but the overall sentiment was positive. After all, the invasion of the Shadow Empire had been made into a long-term documentary by the government, and many people had witnessed it firsthand, so there was no possibility of it being fabricated.
