Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Along with his fleet, Rob held a telescope and looked up at the two people who were already prepared in the sky.

Let's begin!

With Rob's command, the highly anticipated performance in the port area officially began.

New Jersey was the first to charge towards the company not far away.

The company, with its greater combat experience, first used its beam rifle to fire several shots in quick succession, interrupting New Jersey's charge.

Then, after adjusting the wings on its back and accelerating a few times, it instantly widened the distance between itself and New Jersey.

"Huh?"

New Jersey was slightly bewildered as the company disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Shouldn't an exercise be a fierce battle between the two sides? Why did the other side run away at the start?

On the company's side, after creating some distance, she locked all her weapons onto New Jersey.

In an instant, a hail of bullets completely obscured New Jersey's figure.

Protected by the shield, New Jersey quickly broke free from the company's lock-on. Watching the enemy disappear in a flash, New Jersey felt incredibly frustrated with this exercise.

"It seems that Exia, without using Trans-Am, is no match for Freedom in terms of speed."

Rob, watching from the sidelines, observed the figures chasing and fleeing through his binoculars and made his own assessment.

"Hey, Enterprise, can't you just have a proper fight with me?!"

New Jersey, which had been toddling along with the company like a kite, finally couldn't take it anymore and challenged the company to a fair and square fight.

"No, the commander said I have to go all out. That's how he always fights me during training sessions."

"Huh?"

Before New Jersey could react, the company immediately launched another full-scale attack.

Wow! You actually launched a sneak attack!

After one round, New Jersey was still shrouded in smoke when the company, relying on its speed, ran out of the opponent's sight.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder who taught them how to fly a kite."

Completely oblivious to the fact that the scene in the sky was quite cruel, someone couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah! I can't take it anymore! Trans-am!"

Accompanied by a dazzling pink light, New Jersey instantly transformed into streaks in the sky, rushing towards the company at three times its previous speed.

Upon seeing this, the company quickly used the plasma cannon on its back to fire at the opponent, attempting to disrupt the opponent's close-range combat.

The recent test showed that New Jersey's GN particle shield was no match for the company's plasma cannon.

However, New Jersey in Trans-AM mode doesn't need to be blocked at all.

I couldn't see clearly how she moved, but during her rapid flight, she miraculously shifted several body lengths to the side. Even a company like ours couldn't easily pull off such an absurd maneuver.

The company's red and white laser only hit the afterimage left in New Jersey before exploding into a huge wave at sea.

Seeing that the other party was about to rush up to them, the company knew that it could no longer create distance, as the other party was now faster.

Enterprise dodged the GN Sword coming straight at her from New Jersey, then drew her beam saber and slashed at it with both hands.

But to my surprise, it was another afterimage that struck me.

"caught you!"

With an excited shout, New Jersey launched an attack on the company from behind.

If the horizontal slash hits, given the characteristics of the GN Sword, the Enterprise's PS armor might not be able to withstand it.

In that split second, a "ding" sounded in the company's mind, and finally, she could detect New Jersey's movements.

With a burst of exhaust flame, Enterprise suddenly performed a backflip in mid-air, and New Jersey's GN Sword just barely grazed past her body.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Exercise Ends

New Jersey's seemingly inevitable strike ultimately only shaved off a few strands of the company's hair.

However, because her attack was dodged, she herself was exposed to a major weakness.

A backflip sent the company soaring over New Jersey, its two beam sabers crossed and slashing at the opponent.

Fortunately, Trans-Am's unreasonable performance advantage allowed New Jersey to evade the company's attack in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that his attack had only hit the opponent's afterimage again, Enterprise didn't say much. He put away the two beam sabers in his hands and launched another round of firepower, while silently calculating the duration of the New Jersey Trans-Am.

Trailing afterimages, New Jersey continued its almost bizarre attempts to get closer to the company.

This time, she at least learned her lesson and didn't simply charge headlong into the enemy. Instead, she used her limited ranged weapons to harass the company during the advance.

Then Robb saw three GN particle beams outline a human figure on the company.

Of course, this round of shooting in New Jersey was not entirely useless; at least, it blocked several avenues of action for the company.

"You can't escape now!"

As he spoke, New Jersey took out the GN Beam Dagger from behind his back and threw it like a dart at the Enterprise, whose operations had been blocked.

The company remained calm despite realizing that the attack was unavoidable. While retreating to maintain distance, she raised her hand and fired two precise bursts, one shot at a time, knocking down the beam daggers from New Jersey.

"I..." This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Rob, who was watching the battle. Now he was already calculating how many silver coins he would lose in this performance.

Seeing that New Jersey was about to hit it, the company swooped down, rapidly lowering its altitude, causing the opponent's first attack to miss.

Even while dodging, the company didn't miss any opportunity to attack, firing two plasma cannons directly at New Jersey.

New Jersey, who missed with his first strike, wasn't discouraged; he'd already lost count of how many times he'd missed.

Using her mobility, she circled around the laser beams emitted by the company and continued to approach them.

After several rounds of combat, she fully understood that she could only have a chance of victory by getting close to her opponent. With ranged firepower alone, she was no match for the company.

Although they are teammates in the same port area, New Jersey will not give up their victory so easily.

After several more rounds of exchanges, although New Jersey tried its best, the company still managed to defuse the attack with ease.

After Enterprise dodged a horizontal slash, New Jersey immediately turned back, drew two GN beam sabers, and slashed at Enterprise's face.

The company immediately blocked the attack with its beam saber.

Seeing that its attack had missed again, New Jersey immediately broke away, using its speed to weave around the company and launch attacks from all directions.

Finally, after relentless attacks, the company developed a minor vulnerability.

"This is it! This victory is mine!"

New Jersey's exceptional intuition allowed her to seize the only opportunity in the entire battle. Taking advantage of the Enterprise's inability to defend itself, the GN battleship slashed down, ready to end the exercise.

"Time is up."

Despite the impending attack, the company remained completely calm.

Before the exercise began, the commander had told himself that the enemy's state could only last for three minutes.

The company, which had been silently keeping track of time, had already calculated the time when New Jersey's trans-am would disappear.

Just as New Jersey's attack was about to decide the outcome of the battle, the pink light emanating from her body suddenly dimmed.

This is followed by a significant decline in bodily performance.

"Huh???"

It's clear that New Jersey doesn't have the habit of keeping track of her time; she still has a lot to learn.

Actions that were previously barely detectable are now seen as slow as snails by the company.

He raised his hand and used his shield to knock New Jersey's GN Sword away from the side, then kicked the opponent, who was still in shock due to the significant drop in the machine's performance, directly into the sea.

"That's it. This charade is over. I declare the company the victor."

Seeing that New Jersey had run out of Trans-Am, Rob knew there was no point in continuing the fight and immediately ended the charade.

"Yixian, what do you think?"

Turning his head, Rob asked Yixian, who currently had the highest-level mecha in the port, for her opinion.

“Miss New Jersey’s condition of turning completely red is indeed very troublesome, and I’m afraid Yixian will have a hard time dealing with her.”

"Do you have a way to beat New Jersey?"

Feeling that the other person was just being modest, Rob immediately pressed for more information.

After all, both the Corporate Freedom and the New Jersey Exia are Rank VII mobile suits, while the Yatsen Soul Reaper is Rank VIII. Unless the system is poisoned, Yatsen has the advantage in terms of overall performance.

Moreover, Yatsen's own level is much higher than that of the Enterprise and New Jersey.

"If the Commander really wants to know, Yat-sen can tell you. There's a way."

Seeing that his commander was determined to get to the bottom of things, Yi Xian stopped being modest and smiled, indicating that he could win.

On the other side, the company that had pulled the New Jersey rabbit, now turned into a drowning bunny, flew her ashore.

"Commander, I'm back!"

After the exercise, the company, which remained completely undamaged, delivered a perfect report card to Robo.

Rob stepped forward and gave the company a big hug, which immediately made the other party blush.

"So, do you see the difference now?"

Seeing that New Jersey looked somewhat dejected, Rob patted her head.

"Oh, I see."

"You'll need to practice more to unleash the full potential of this machine."

"Don't worry, Rob, I won't rest until I find a way to win!"

Rob was somewhat shocked by New Jersey's incredible play, thinking, "Wow, this guy doesn't need any consolation at all."

After saying that, New Jersey, disregarding that he was soaking wet, rushed over to Rob and gave him a hug.

"Hehehe, I want one too."

"You idiot, let go! You're all soaking wet, don't splash me! I just changed my clothes today!"

At this moment, somewhere far away in Europe.

"Cardinal, have you made up your mind?"

"Yes, I've made up my mind."

"Then I will continue to follow in your footsteps."

"Thank you, my comrade. May the glory of the Lord shine upon us."

"May the glory of the Lord shine upon us, Amen."

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Luo's Reward Has Finally Arrived

Since joining the Donghuang family in New Jersey, Rob's life these past few days has been nothing short of agonizing.

I never realized before that this thing could be so clingy.

Now, not only are the corporate leaders from Zhenhai and the others looking at Luo Bo strangely, even the four young talents from Anshan are doing it.

Looking at New Jersey who was lingering beside him, Rob stared at her for a long time, trying to signal her to leave on her own with his eyes. After all, the secretary ship on duty today, Miss Haitian, was already giving him a very strange look.

"Hmm? Are you so captivated by me? I don't mind at all~ I didn't expect you to like this, Rob."

The New Jersey woman, who didn't feel that her presence was hindering Rob's work at all, thought that Rob must have been captivated by her charm, and puffed out her chest as she spoke.

"Commander, although it is said that a beautiful lady is the object of a gentleman's affection, time is money. Please do not delay your work, otherwise nothing will be accomplished today."

Haitian shoved a stack of documents in front of Rob, picking up where New Jersey left off, and casually gave Rob a "reprimand".

After lamenting the damage to his reputation over the past few days, Rob realized that the silly creature's eye signals were completely useless, so he had to resort to a more direct method.

"Hey, if you have nothing better to do, why don't you go out and find a few sirens to practice on?"

Rob couldn't stand seeing New Jersey clinging to him like that.

Although having such a beautiful girl around you all day long should be a very happy thing.

However, if you have other beautiful girls around you who are also close to you, that's a different story.

"Hmph~ What's the point of those dumb Sirens! Robo, Robo, let's just go and fight the Sakura Empire!"
