About becoming a magical girl

"Ah."

Lan (Orchid), as well as Herul, Jasmine, and Feng, these four are the second-generation agents who accompanied Efnir on the task of supporting the vanguard.

At this time, the signal flare exploded in the sky.

"Strikers, stop advancing! Stay alert and stand by!"

Wireless communication equipment cannot be used in areas outside Sakai, and there is naturally no way to communicate with drones. Those drones with a set path will eventually return according to the original route planned by the airborne AI, so the troops must stay here and wait for the unmanned The arrival of man and machine.

For the investigation team outside Sakai, this is a rare time to catch their breath.

As long as they don't move, they won't encounter any more Corruptors, and won't need to face a dangerous fight.

"Herul, you rest for a while, I will take care of you instead."

Facing Avnir's kindness, Herul nodded silently.

"Lan, you are in charge of continuing to pay attention to the changes in the direction of the right wing."

"Good, good!"

"This is for you, remember to use it when necessary."

Evenier handed the flare gun to Lan after filling it with ammunition, and gave one to each of the others.

In order to allow them, the second-generation fledglings who have never really experienced actual combat outside Sakai, to adapt as soon as possible, Evenier always assigns them tasks in turn, including but not limited to combat, reconnaissance, support, etc. In fact, their performance has always satisfied Evenier.

In the previous battles, Evenier generally had a certain understanding of their abilities.

As expected, they are the second-generation agents who have been selected since childhood and have been trained as agents. Compared with the first-generation agents like Bai Yan, what they show in battle is by no means just "fighting talent" , but for "combat understanding".

Among the juniors who joined the agent after Efnir, Bai Yan was the well-deserved number one, and it was no accident that Herul lost to her.

But it is foreseeable that as long as these second-generation agents are given a certain amount of time, they will soon grow into powerful agents no less than Bai Yan.

In terms of strength, Herul naturally ranks above the other three, but if we want to set a combat condition or a limit to the combat venue, then it can be said that these four have their own merits.

Among them, Lan is an agent with a special function of enhanced vision, suitable for reconnaissance or long-distance support in combat, which is similar to Yanilas who uses an anti-material rifle as a weapon of order.

In other words, it is similar to the Fifina that Xue Nai inherited.

"By the way, Ran, can I ask a question?"

"Huh? Good, good."

Avnir's sudden question that had nothing to do with combat made Lan take off the binoculars in a little surprise, and gave a military salute in a hurry.

"Excuse me, sir, I, I will definitely tell you everything!"

Lan is a little girl who is good at everything, but a little reserved.

Should I say introverted or what?Evenier couldn't simply deny it.

But in fact, Evenier found that Lan didn't act like this in front of him, but also had this somewhat timid appearance when getting along with Herul, Jasmine and others.

In other words, Lan is not "accepting life", but simply "fearing people".

"Relax, it's okay."

"Well... yes..."

Although Evenier said so, it was useless.

Fortunately, Evenier got to the point.

"I was a little concerned before. Are you and your captain Yanilas's 'Beacon' based on 'Fifina'?"

Just when she asked, Lan suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"How did the chief know..."

"The features are so obvious, it's hard not to think in that direction."

In fact, there are also factors to make auxiliary judgments through the small changes in the dust seen by the right eye, but she didn't say much about her right eye, Efnir, which was a suggestion given to her by Nishiki Yuki.

And besides the clues brought by the right eye, Evenier also noticed the commonality between Lan and Yanilas, or the commonality between them and Fifina.

Efnir is someone who knows Fifina very well. From Fengling Shiyin, a direct descendant who has always been on combat missions together, to his sister and lover Xue Nai, they are all suitable for Fifina.

One of the most iconic functions of the Beacon Fifina is the enhancement of the user's vision and accuracy by the orderly armed forces. Naturally, the accuracy need not be mentioned. Among the second-generation agents, only Kite, who does not use firearms as a weapon, does not have much interest in this item. Requirements, while others are, to varying degrees, above the average level of an agent.

In addition, Yanila and Lan have strengthened their eyesight. Yanila has a 100% hit rate even if they are thousands of meters away, while Lan is better than the electron. The frame capture devices are no less visually appealing.

This is very similar to Fifina.

"Sir, are you interested in second-generation beacons?"

This time it was Herul who spoke, and Efnir nodded bluntly.

"I'm just a little curious about how far the so-called 'second generation' has achieved, but it seems that humans have not yet been able to completely overwrite the 'beacon'. That is to say, my 'first generation' naturally Needless to say, but even the 'second generation' is probably only an 'unfinished product'..."

This is not unfounded nonsense.

……

10. Eyes

The so-called "unfinished product" is just a conclusion made by Evenier based on the degree of human excavation of beacon technology.

——If only a small amount of information is rewritten, and no breakthrough can be made on this basis, it cannot be called "innovation". At most, it can only be said that the beacon system technology has made progress to a certain extent, but it is still far away from the future of mankind.

For example, among the "second generation" dispatched this time, there is an agent who still uses the first-generation order weapon, Kite.

If we say that the use and assembly of the second-generation order weapons marked by Yanilas and Herul—the use and assembly of gun-type order weapons is the orderer’s vision for the research and development of future agent arms, then the fighting style of the kite that retains the characteristics of the first generation while adding the second-generation order arms as an auxiliary can be said to be a bold attempt made by the researchers of the orderers in the central province for the "second generation".

Obviously, the researchers of the Orderers in the central province also have different opinions on the research and development direction of the beacon system. This kind of swing is also a sign that the "second-generation beacon technology" has not really matured.

Naturally, Herul could also understand the meaning of Efnir's words.

"Isn't it finished..."

Herul showed a subtle expression for a moment.

In fact, Herul had heard this sentence from Yanila Si.

Evenier looked into the distance.

Now the large army is standing by on standby, waiting for the return of the drone. Because the army has not moved, it has not been attacked by new erosion bodies.

She continued:

"To put it simply, if it is not a 'qualified person', it is absolutely impossible to wake up the beacon system, right?"

Herul froze for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"So, even the second-generation beacon system still hasn't broken through the 'barriers' that the relic technology has brought to us humans, that is-we are still just users of the 'program', everything we can obtain, It's just a charity from the ruins to us..."

Only the "chosen ones", that is, those who are qualified, have the right to use the "program".

"But on the other hand... Herul, you must have discovered it a long time ago? It is obvious that the tactics against erosive bodies are so simple, but in the end the 'second generation' boldly developed other tactical models, do you think why is that?"

The feeling that the second-generation agents brought to Evenier in all aspects seems to be more inclined to "fight against people" than "fight against erosive bodies", which is more suitable for them.

Fighting erosive bodies does not require so many complex tactical combinations, and those things are cumbersome and useless when facing erosive bodies.

Those who are in the center of this truth will not understand it.

Then there is only one possibility left—the mode used by the current "second generation" is deliberately done by those people. This time, the battle against the apostles is a stage specially prepared for the "second generation" with "combat against people" as the center point.

In other words, the results show.

It's like introducing and demonstrating products to buyers when selling goods.

From this point of view, the militarized training received by Herul, Yanilas and others may easily make sense.

In the face of Efnir's meaningful "question", Herul's gaze flickered for a moment, which was keenly captured by Afnir.

Efnir looked at Herul, and Herul also looked at Efnir.

Efnir's eyes are heterochromatic pupils that are extremely rare for human beings. The right eye is translucent black like agate, and the left eye is a strange deep purple. It is obvious that such eye color is not formed naturally .

When looking into these eyes, Herul always has the illusion of being completely seen from head to toe for a moment.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Efnir looked at Herul with great interest, but Herul looked back and shook his head.

"No, nothing."

"I didn't mean to belittle, I hope you don't mind."

In order to avoid being misunderstood, Avenier explained.

"Please don't mind it, sir."

Herul still had that indifferent look, but in fact, Efnir also saw some shadows lurking behind them in the "second generation" like her.

Evenier didn't choose to talk too much.

Some things are not appropriate to ask here.

Herul seldom has extra words. The impression she left on Evenier is completely different from that of Shino Mi Nami, who is also an assistant officer. Herul, on the other hand, gives people the feeling of being a strict manager of daily life and life, never smiling on his face.

Of course, Herul would only manage Yanilas alone, and performed her duties as an adjutant extremely strictly.

Also, Herul respects Yanilas very much.

"At the same time, I was thinking, since the second generation of beacons is based on the first generation of beacons, does it mean that some of us in the 'first generation' can also find something that can be compared with the 'second generation'? What about the beacon that you adapt to?"

In theory, of course it is possible.

The current so-called "second generation" is based on the "first generation". For example, "Orchid (Lan)" and "Anelace (Anelace)" are out-of-spec prototype beacons with "Fifina" as the underlying module, and Lan and Anelace are qualified candidates for "Fifina".

So in turn, Fifina can also use Orchid and Anelace's beacons, the answer is not difficult to understand.

But for some reason, Herul suddenly couldn't answer Efnir's question immediately.

She looked at Evenier's unwavering eyes, and she couldn't guess what was going on in Avenier's heart, nor could she guess the questions behind Avenier's series of determined questions.

Fortunately, Evenier didn't ask any further questions, but just smiled and looked away.

"In fact, the so-called 'backward' or 'unfinished product' may be more appropriate to describe us 'first generation'. When I saw your potential, I suddenly began to think about such things. One day we will be eliminated?——Well, just kidding, the number of 'second generation' beacons must be very limited, right? We, the remnants of the old era, probably don't have the time to retire now that our combat power is seriously insufficient. Yes. Ah, yes, I’ll get out of the car to have a look, I’ll leave this to you for the time being, Herul.”

Efnir's topic jumped quickly, and without giving Herul a chance to speak, he opened the door and got out of the car, leaving several members of the second generation looking at each other.

"Miss Evenier...is she really going to retire?"

"She was just joking. If someone like her retires, it will be a loss to the People's Federation."

"But...why does such a powerful person like her stay in this city?"

"I've been wondering for a long time, maybe... there is some special reason..."

"Who knows?"

Herul sighed lightly, doubts flickering in his eyes.

……

11. Unseen

The "first generation" is the eliminated generation?

It is so strange!

Only it was hard to be convincing to say such words from Evenier - Lan slandered in her heart for a while, but naturally she didn't say anything.

As the latest research achievement of "Second Generation Beacon", its candidates are very precious.

Therefore, the ten members of the agent team headed by Yanilas are without exception carefully selected by the Central Province from their respective teams, and they are well-deserved elites.

Although most of them lack real combat experience at this stage, there is no doubt that each of them has good potential. The only thing that is missing between them is the "battle" The quenching" step.

As a latecomer of the new generation, Lan did have the idea that "the first generation is just the tears of the old era that were eliminated by the second generation" before he met Avnir.

Being selected as the "second generation" Shi Lan felt happy and excited from the bottom of her heart.

This is an affirmation of her continuous efforts.

But the excitement and pride at that time, as well as a little bit of superiority, were destroyed by Avenier on the first day of coming to Xijing City.
