Evolution of a Girl

"Ok."

Asuna nodded.

……

Ahem, I’ll end this in the next chapter and prepare for SEED. I’ll reach the SEED world in about three chapters.

This Asuna is getting more and more crooked. I need to find a way to correct it... ahem...

Chapter 408: Fighter Asuna is in special training...

The entire recruit training scene is in a battleship, and I am in a similar one.

The battleship has a subtle sense of déjà vu, as if the model was copied from somewhere else.

But it's okay, it's just an internal test.

"This is……"

After entering the game, Asuna noticed that there were two routes.

The first is the "new recruit" route, and the second is the "reformed undercover agent" route.

Asuna took a look. The first one seemed a little ordinary, but this reformed undercover made her a little curious.

"Ah?"

However, I couldn't click it. After clicking it, the system popped up a prompt saying "Route is being created".

Asuna had no choice but to choose the first one.

But the more she couldn't order, the more she cared.

Although I know it's a test scenario, I'm still a little concerned about this "reformed undercover" thing.

After choosing the first one, Asuna found herself in a place similar to an elevator, and her clothes had turned into her usual clothes.

"Have you also made a plot? It's just like the real thing..."

Although Asuna participated in many tests, she actually played very few games. Most of them were heard from Yuuki. Such small plots made her feel a little bit excited.

At this time, the cabin door finally opened.

She walked out curiously and found a person in front of her. She was wearing a tight space suit similar to her previous combat suit. The space suit was a full-body style. The other person only had a teardrop-shaped opening at the mouth. Apart from that, her face could not be seen at all.

"New recruit, follow me. Let's finish getting dressed first."

The other party ignored Asuna, but Asuna had no choice but to follow.

Asuna and the other party came to a cabin, then took off all their clothes and stood on a ring-like stage. Then, a layer of film appeared on the ring, and the film wrapped Asuna from bottom to top.

"Well……"

This feeling was very novel and very real. Asuna could feel the fabric sticking to her body. After a while, Asuna was wrapped from bottom to top and became exactly the same as the other person. However, she was surprised to find that although she was wearing a mask, she could still see what was in front of her.

——Asuina seldom plays games, so she feels more immersed in the game. She almost takes chess seriously.

"Recruit."

The other party walked in front of Asuna.

"Um, my name is Yuuki..."

Before Asuna could finish her words, she was interrupted by the other party: "It doesn't matter who you were before, your thoughts don't matter, your appearance doesn't matter. You are just a member of the Empire, a combatant. From now on, you are Combatant Number 930, Asuna."

"Combatant Asuna..."

"Asuna" is Asuna's online name.

But during the incident, being given a new name was a rather novel feeling.

"What's the answer?!"

The instructor scolded.

"Yes!" Asuna subconsciously stood at attention.

"Combatant Asuna, follow me."

Asuna, no, it was Asuna who followed the other party all the way to the front, and she was taken to a place that looked like a military camp.

Asuna adapted quickly. This combat uniform had high heels. Although it seemed a little strange for a combatant to wear high heels, she didn't ask any questions.

Asuna was placed in the middle of the group, standing at attention like the other rookie fighters.

These are all dummies acting according to procedures, but Nomi Ryuno took a shortcut. Because they acted according to procedures, these people looked like qualified soldiers.

As a result, during combat training, Asuna was always the only one who had problems...

Asuna originally just wanted to give it a try and didn't actually stay for the full 180 days.

But after the first day of training, the instructor graded each of the "new recruits." Asuna, who had always been an excellent student, suddenly became a poor student.

She was a little unconvinced.

"It's so embarrassing that you can't even stand at attention properly..."

The first day was to stand at attention and march in step, but Asuna was not very familiar with high heels, so she never staggered during the battle.

After the training, Asuna came to the "dormitory". Although it was called a dormitory, it was actually a gathering place similar to a beehive. After training, the fighters went directly into the beehive holes - these beehive holes were capsule beds.

It's as if they are all mindless worker bees.

Asuna also lay down in it.

There was nothing inside the capsule bed, it was smooth, and there was nothing around it.

It seems long, but it is actually very short.

"Well, there's still time anyway, just one minute... Let's try again..."

She slowly closed her eyes.

This is also for the patients' consideration. The longer I persist, the more data the doctor will collect, and the easier it will be for those suffering from illness to recover...

Although she didn't know why it was done in the form of recruit training, this training mode was subtly similar to training camp. She even became curious about the "plot" of the story itself.

Unfortunately, the entire story was simply copied from the internet by Ryunosuke Nomi, who tweaked it slightly to create the desired effect before adding it to the game...

On the second day of training, Asuna felt much more relaxed and her scores improved, but compared to the other academies who received full marks, she was still the worst.

After seven days, Asuna was able to occasionally keep up with the others. After about a month, she was finally able to stand and march in high heels skillfully.

Surprisingly, this training was not boring.

No, the training itself wasn't very interesting, but Asuna felt quite fulfilled. She herself gradually came to understand that, in this world, she could wear this outfit with impunity.

The scenery aboard the battleship was a bit monotonous. Every single combatant here looked exactly like her, with only a tiny bit of their nose to their chin showing. And, everyone's height and build were identical to Asuna's.

When Asuna was training, there was a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror opposite her. After becoming more proficient, she even found it difficult to find herself in front of the mirror.

Of course, Asuna didn't know that these AIs were created by Nomi Ryuno directly using Asuna's own data.

Although a month had passed, Asuna had gradually adapted to the feeling of this virtual world. This pure feeling that excluded everything allowed her to gain further control over her body.

Even Nomi Ryuno, who was collecting data, didn't know that Asuna's mind, intellect, and body had begun to become highly unified in this virtual world...

……

After thinking about it, it turns out that Asuna who is with Kiriko... Bah, the one who is with Kirito is the boss. The next chapter will end Asuna's story. Maybe Amane will come later. Still thinking about it.

Chapter 409 Voice

"If all this data could be transmitted back, I'd be rich..."

Nomi Tatsuno looked at the surveillance camera next to her excitedly.

The machine Asuna was in was not an ordinary stealth machine, but a machine that could adjust time control.

The minimum is one times, and the maximum is five million times.

This is a technology that already exists in this world.

If it weren't for Kayaba Akihiko, it would have been used in about a year or two.

However, Kayaba's technology, drawing on some concepts from other worlds, actually performs differently.

Of course, human thinking cannot be accelerated five million times; brain cells cannot process at that fast a speed.

But everyone in this world has "Yaoguang", that is, soul, which is why they can achieve such high acceleration.

Of course, in this world, this is the realm of quantum mechanics.

Nomi Ryuuno increased the speed of Asuna's acceleration time ratio to make the virtual world faster, and then he recorded the data on the side.

She didn't dare adjust it too quickly because that would make the data recording incomplete.

For unknown reasons, he had previously performed some suggestion and brain manipulation on Asuna, but found that she was immune to these changes. However, precisely because Asuna was almost immune, this data was extremely valuable, and it was invaluable data that could be used to develop super soldiers.

Nomi Ryuno also understood why Kayaba Akihiko valued her so much. Because Asuna herself is a treasure...

Asuna had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

She is currently running on a treadmill with headphones on.

After completing basic training, the content of training also changed.

It has transformed from simply standing at attention into an exercise.

Running in high heels is the first step.

Running in the virtual world is naturally not for physical fitness, but for control. If you run in high heels, you are training your balance and body control abilities. Moreover, your hands must be placed behind your back when running and cannot help maintain balance.

Not everyone is Tianyin. Although Asuna has a strong adaptability to the virtual world, it took her a long time to train and master this skill.

"The combatants have no doubts."

"Combatants have no distractions."

"Combatants have no minds."

"Combatants need only obey."

Inside the headphones are rows of voices.

For the first time, Asuna found it funny.

Because this is just like the broadcast of those third-rate villains in movies and TV dramas.

But after listening for a long time, she no longer cares about the sound in her ears.

"Combatant number nine hundred and thirty. Your training is over. Return and rest."

"Yes……"

Asuna got off the treadmill after training.

Although it is a virtual world, this world has a fatigue setting, or in other words, it completely reproduces Asuna's physical feelings in the real world.

After getting off the treadmill, Asuna walked towards her "room".

All fighters, in addition to training, must return to standby.

After the initial training, the sleeping capsules had been arranged vertically instead of horizontally, leaving only standing room. However, once Asuna entered, gravity vanished—this was a space battleship. Simultaneously, a machine extended its mechanical arms and secured her, leaving her unable to move.

It feels quite strange, like a used tool being put back into the toolbox.

At first, Asuna was a little confused, but later she guessed that it was because the program was too rigid.

However, Asuna did not object much, because the scenes here only showed warships, and she did not know what to do on weekdays. Instead, lying here and entering a state of zero gravity was a novel feeling that could not be experienced in the real world.

"Welcome back, Combatant No. 930."

After Asuna lay down, soothing music and pleasant female voices were heard around her.

This is also the only place in the battleship where you can hear music.

Although there is also voiceover, it is a very nice female voice, completely different from the previous "third-rate villain's propaganda voice".

"You don't have to worry here. This is your most comfortable bubble room... Here you have nothing. Here you have no fear, no doubt, no desire..."

Following the sound, Asuna's mind gradually became dazed, and fatigue overwhelmed her consciousness.
