"Asem, they showed me the results of your special training test. Although the X-Rounder adaptability is D, don't be discouraged. You are my son. As long as you retain the blood of the Asuka family, there is nothing you can do.
If not, I believe you."
"Dip~"
As soon as Asem's evaluation report came out, it was delivered to Fleet. Due to busy military affairs, Fleet was unable to comfort Asem in person, so he left a video message.
Yasem didn't know how many times he had seen this. He could hear Fleet's comfort and encouragement to him, but for some reason, the more he heard this passage, the more ironic he felt.
"Obviously...obviously you are also an X-Rounder ability user..."
"Dip~"
The closed door to the room opened, and Yang Hui turned on the light, illuminating the dark room.
"Who!? Uncle Yang Hui..." Asem turned around in surprise. He remembered that he had locked the door, but when he saw it was Yang Hui, he lowered his head.
"Follow me." Yang Hui said directly without comforting or encouraging Asem.
"Eh? Where to go?"
"Just keep up."
Seeing Yang Hui turn around and leave, Yasem quickly picked up his uniform and followed Yang Hui's footsteps. In a confused state of mind, he came to Gnaku all the way.
"Uncle, what are we doing here?"
Yang Hui still didn't answer Yasem, but found Dick and the preparation director of the [Celestial Being] brigade.
"Are you ready?" Yang Hui asked the two of them.
"I'm ready, but brother Yang Hui, do you really want to do this?" Dick worried.
Different from the original plot where Woruf took Asim to the Madonna workshop to use a specially made simulation cabin to let him vent, he instead directly fought with real machines and let Graham be Asem's opponent.
Dick's worries are justified. After all, on the eve of the war, there is no telling when VEGAN's army will attack. If it comes during the venting process, the machine will not be able to maintain its best condition to participate in the battle.
"No problem. Graham knows what's appropriate. If something goes wrong, I'll take the responsibility."
The reason why Yang Hui dared to do this was firstly because he got first-hand information from the Intelligence Department. It would take at least three days for VEGAN's army to arrive at the [Giant Ring] base. Secondly, because of his confidence in Graham, even during the venting process
Even though he was attacked by VEGAN, he also had the ability to bring Asem back safely.
"Okay, I understand." Dick spread his hands, knowing that he could not change Yang Hui's decision, so he stepped aside.
As for the preparation director of the [Celestial Being] Brigade, there was no objection from the beginning, because Yang Hui's orders were more effective for them than Fleet's orders.
After confirming that the preparations were correct, Yang Hui said directly to Yasem: "Change into the driving suit and fly the Gundam AGE-2 to attack."
"Eh? Attack? Why? Is there an enemy..."
"Just do as I say."
"oh……"
Yasem just flew the Gundam AGE-2 to attack in confusion, and went to the designated space area according to Yang Hui's instructions. As a result, he saw the Flag Gundam waiting for him there.
"Flag Gundam? It's Uncle Graham! What is this for? Is it to carry out a secret mission?" Asem thought, he was still a little excited at first. Isn't it a recognition of him to be able to carry out a secret mission with Graham?
, but Yasem also thought that his X-Rounder adaptability was D, and doubted that he was really qualified to perform such a level of tasks?
But soon, this complicated emotion was interrupted by Yang Hui.
"Asham."
"Uncle... Lieutenant General, please give me the order."
"Good answer, your mission is to defeat Graham."
"Yes!...Eh!? Wait, what on earth is going on?" Yasem replied excitedly subconsciously, but he soon realized something was wrong, and then he was dumbfounded.
"What? Didn't you hear clearly? Repeat, your mission is to defeat Graham."
"But……"
"Senior Sergeant Asame Asuhino (Cao Commander), execute the order!"
"……yes!"
Yasem couldn't figure out what was going on, but Yang Hui gave him an order as a commander. As a soldier, he must execute it, but...
Flag Gundam crossed his arms opposite Gundam AGE-2 without any movement, as if waiting for Gundam AGE-2 to make the first move, but Asem didn't want to make a move, let alone dare to make a move.
Graham is also Asam's respected elder. The battle between Graham and VEGAN flashes through Asam's mind from time to time. It is so powerful that he has no hope of victory at all.
At this time, Flag Gundam connected to the communication with Gundam AGE-2: "What's wrong? How long are you going to make me wait?"
"But……"
"Are you scared?"
"no……"
"If you're scared, just run away. Go back and apply for retirement, and Woruf will sign it for you."
"I...I won't run away!"
"Then do it!"
"I...I..." Asem was in a dilemma. He still didn't understand what was going on and why Yang Hui ordered him to fight Graham. Although he was a little excited, he was more afraid.
That's right, he was just afraid. Although Yasem said it confidently, his hands were trembling at this time and he couldn't hold the joystick tightly at all. Even though the flag gun did nothing, there was an invisible sense of oppression that kept pressing on him.
His shoulders could crush him at any time.
"As expected, are you still afraid? Don't you dare to fight once you fail? Don't you even have the courage to take action in the face of the enemy? Yasem!"
"I'm not! I didn't!"
"Then let me see where your courage lies!"
"I……"
"I'm very disappointed in you, Asem, we are all very disappointed in you. If you can't do it, we'd better go home as soon as possible..."
"I'm not afraid! Ah~!"
Under the pressure of Graham's words, Asem's inner grievance and unwillingness finally broke out. He could endure it without the X-Rounder ability, and he could endure losing to Gerhardt, but he could not endure it when Yang Hui and the others faced him.
Disappoint yourself.
The fire behind Gundam AGE-2 exploded, and it rushed towards the Flag Gundam at the fastest speed. The two guns in his hands did not lock on the Flag Gundam before firing one after another, as if what was shot out was not the energy, but the unwillingness in Asem's heart.
and grievance.
Flag Gundam still folded his arms, dodging left and right, avoiding the attack of Gundam AGE-2. When the opponents were approaching and drawing swords at each other, Flag Gundam still had no intention of letting go of his hands.
"Ah~!!"
Facing the menacing Asem, Graham grinned. His movements at this time were exactly the same as the Flag Gundam. He did not control the Flag Gundam at all. He kept his hands away from the joystick and hugged his chest, leaving all the control to Ha.
Luo.
"Hello, unfold the floating sword and play with Asem."
"Understood~understood~"
Harrow has been reprogrammed by Yang Hui. Although Harrow is not as powerful as Harrow in the Gundam OO world, he can already handle some basic operations, such as...
The floating sword fell off from the shoulder armor and skirt armor of the flag, and turned into a fish like water, swimming happily in the vast ocean of the universe.
"This is! Damn it..."
The fish-like floating swords with scarlet edges surrounded Gundam AGE-2 from all directions, forcing Yasem to pull the joystick in reverse, stop the assault, and protect himself with the shields on both sides.
.
"Dangdangdangdang..."
Sparks flew everywhere, and under the protection of the two-wing shields, Gundam AGE-2 did not suffer much damage, but the huge impact and violent vibrations still caused Asem considerable pain.
"Hmm~! Uncle Graham...is serious!" After the machine stabilized, Asem's back was soaked with cold sweat. If it weren't for the protection of the shield, the floating sword just now would directly hit the Gundam AGE-2.
destroy.
"What's wrong? Isn't this going to work?" Graham's sarcasm came from the communication channel.
"My...uncle, you..."
"Go on!"
"But……"
"If you don't do it, I will force you to do it!"
The floating sword struck again, and Graham also held his hands on the joystick, piloting the Flag Gundam to attack Gundam AGE-2 together.
"Damn it! I don't understand, but I won't let you go! Haha~!"
The Flag Gundam had already launched an attack surrounded by floating swords. Yasem didn't think about Graham's intentions anymore and immediately drove the Gundam AGE-2 to meet them. The most important thing now is to survive from Graham's hands.
.
Under Graham's pressure, Asem also burst out with a strong will to survive. When the floating swords rushed towards him, the Gundam AGE-2's twin swords struck down hard, directly cutting off the two floating swords and killing his head.
The beam Vulcan cannon from the base fired one after another, hitting another floating sword, and then collided with the Flag Gundam.
If compared with the special training data, Asam's various data have improved again, and for a while he was able to compete with Flag Gundam back and forth.
In the second command room of the [Giant Ring] base, Yang Hui, Yulin and Wolf watched intently as the two Gundams collided back and forth on the screen.
"What's the data like?" Yang Hui asked.
"There is a significant increase in all data."
"What about X-Rounder adaptability?"
"no change."
"Continue recording data."
"yes!"
"Sure enough, is the son of a monster still a monster? He is not at the level of a recruit at all." Woruf glanced at the growth rate of the data and shrugged self-deprecatingly. At this time, Asem's performance was just "excellent" and it was no longer enough.
To describe it, it was completely amazing. In a single-player duel with Flag Gundam, he could also cut down the floating sword. This was something that even he couldn't do. Although this state was not normal, and... Graham was released into the sea.
"He has been taught so many things since childhood, and if he is still the same as an ordinary recruit, he deserves to be beaten." Yang Hui cursed angrily.
"But is it really okay for you to push him like this? Sometimes if you push him too hard, the string in your mind can easily break." Woruf worried.
"Asem's potential doesn't stop there. Except for the first half of the defense of Tordia, the subsequent battles did not put much pressure on him to stimulate his potential."
"But... forget it, you won't do anything to Asem anyway."
Of course, Wolfu also knew that Asem needed encouragement and even more venting. Originally, he planned to take Asem to the Madonna workshop to play, but Yang Hui directly let Asem and Graham face off in real life, which was more effective.
Well, it allows Yasem to experience the gap between him and the real masters, and also allows him to feel the oppression of life and death more truly.
