Cagalli, who sat back in the cockpit, started basic training and kept mumbling.
"What! That bastard just scares me! These basic trainings are useless! Isn't it just jumping back and forth, left and right? Should such simple operational training allow other people to do gymnastics on the battlefield?"
"Whether it's gymnastics or not, you'll know soon."
"Uh-huh~!"
"boom!"
Yang Hui's voice suddenly came from the cockpit, causing Cagalli to jump up and hit her head on the roof of the cockpit.
"What are you doing!? Isn't it scary!?"
"With this little mental quality, you still want to drive a mobile suit on the battlefield?"
Faced with Cagalli's roar, plain sarcasm and unconsciousness were the best reply. The key was that Cagalli could not refute Yang Hui.
"Remember, lesson one, on the battlefield, no matter what happens, stay calm."
"cut."
Although she still looked unhappy, Cagalli did not lose her temper with Yang Hui anymore, but silently remembered Yang Hui's teachings in her heart.
Of course...how long she can remember it, or whether she can use it, is another matter.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Application for battle?"
"accept."
"I know!"
After accepting the battle application from Yang Hui, an identical M1 Heretic appeared on the screen.
"Are you looking down on me?" Cagalli asked immediately. She knew that Yang Hui had a special machine and it was quite powerful. Although she did not think that her M1 Heretic was qualified to fight against Yang Hui's special machine, but she was very unhappy.
She thought Yang Hui had underestimated her.
"Lesson 2, there is no need for nonsense in battle."
As soon as the words fell, the countdown that started came to an end.
Yang Huiji suddenly accelerated, and before Cagalli could react, the pink beam of light had already occupied the entire screen. The next second, the light in the cockpit was dim, and the word "failure" was dazzling on the black screen.
"Beep beep beep..."
The application for a battle came again, and Cagalli was furious. After accepting it, she immediately cursed: "You are despicable! You are taking advantage of others' unpreparedness..."
"Have you forgotten the first and second lessons?"
"Forehead……"
"There is a third lesson. This is a battle, not a duel. There are no morals, no rules, only killing and being killed."
The countdown ended again, and Yang Huiji rushed in again. Cagalli still failed to make any reaction. The only difference was that she saw clearly how Yang Huiji drew his sword and then pierced her body.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Agree!" Cagalli bit her lip, and the blood stained her lips and flowed down her fair neck into her clothes. This time she did not dare to speak anymore. She nervously watched the countdown to the start of the mock battle. The previous two
Failure made her a little scared, but more importantly she was unwilling!
She wants to defeat Yang Hui! She wants to prove to Yang Hui that she is not a princess who only makes trouble unreasonably.
Exactly the same action as the previous two times, lunge, draw the sword, and thrust straight.
This time, Cagalli was no longer a lamb to be slaughtered. He threw his shield in front of him in a panic, blocking the direct thrust of the beam sword.
"blocked!"
But... this is just a painless struggle.
Her sight was blocked by the shield. Cagalli only saw the pink beam of light shining again from another direction. With a flash of cold light, the left hand holding the shield was cut off at the root, and then...
"fail."
Cagalli was dumbfounded. Once again she didn't know how she lost.
"Beep beep beep..."
"agree!"
The simulated battle started again, with the same movements without any changes at all. She still raised her shield to block the direct thrust of the beam sword, but it also had the same ending. But this time she also saw Yang Huiji before the screen went out completely.
I don't know when I had thrown away my shield, and I was holding a beam sword in each hand.
"Come again!"
After countless failures and restarts, the simulated battle between Cagalli and Yang Hui was like playing a game, constantly going back and forth between saving and loading.
Without exception, Cagalli was defeated by Yang Hui, and the time she lasted was only increased by four or five seconds. Whenever she confidently thought she had guessed Yang Hui's next move, she counterattacked in advance, but she was greeted by everyone.
It's a failure.
As the number of attacks increased, the time that Cagalli could hold on became shorter and shorter, and in the end he even stood motionless, letting Yang Huiji kill him.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Woooooooo..."
The request for another battle was extremely harsh in Cagalli's ears. She refused to accept it and just curled up her legs on the seat, burying her head in her knees and crying.
"Squeak~"
The cockpit suddenly opened, and the light was a little dazzling, but it couldn't illuminate Cagalli's distracted eyes.
"Have you given up?" Yang Hui asked Cajiali calmly.
"Woooooooo..."
"Have you given up?"
"Woooooooo..."
"Answer me! Have you given up!? Cagalli Yura Asha!"
The roar that contained oppression and anger made Cagalli stiffly turn her tear-stained face, looking at Yang Hui with eyes blankly. When she met the cold and angry eyes, Cagalli shrank like a helpless little girl.
Shrink down.
"answer my question!"
"me……"
Seeing Cagalli's appearance, Yang Hui shook his head. The cold oppression disappeared and was replaced by deep disappointment.
"Lyle, send Cagalli home. She is not allowed to leave the room again without my permission."
"learn."
"Yang Hui! You can't do this to me!"
Upon hearing that Yang Hui planned to put her under house arrest, Cagalli's eyes regained some color, and she used her last strength and courage to vent her unwillingness and grievances.
"Then tell me, what can you do?"
"me……"
"Those who give up when encountering setbacks will never accomplish anything."
"I don't!"
"Then let me ask again, have you given up? Cagalli Yula Asha!"
"I don't!"
"Then continue. My time is precious and I don't have time to play house games with you."
Without waiting for Cagalli's answer, Yang Hui closed the cockpit again. He also returned to his position and once again applied for a battle with Cagalli.
The familiar voice sounded, irritating Cagalli's fragile nerves like noise, and frightening Cagalli like a sharp sword.
Cagalli's face was full of fear, and she stretched out her hands towards the operating lever tremblingly, but immediately retracted it, stretched it out again, and spoke back again, as if it was not the operating lever of the MS, but a terrifying monster.
"In the last five seconds, if you don't start, don't start."
It was this voice, the voice that Cagalli hated so much but was so afraid of.
In the end, unwillingness finally squeezed out a crack in the full fear, held the joystick with trembling hands, and agreed to the application for battle.
Lyle looked at Cagalli who was about to collapse due to being forced by Yang Hui, shook his head with a wry smile, and yelled at the people around him: "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you train quickly!"
"Ah? Yes!"
Yang Hui's questioning of Cagalli was so loud that everyone in the training room came out of the cockpit to watch. Seeing Yang Hui forcing Cagalli like a cold-blooded monster, they couldn't bear it and dared to be angry but dared not speak.
I'm really afraid that Cagalli will collapse because of this. After all, she is the princess of Orb.
"Everyone, basic training starts at level 4. If you can't complete level 6 before lunch, you won't be allowed to eat!"
"Ah!" XN
The simulated battle between Yang Hui and Cagalli was not affected by the wailing everywhere. They still loaded files, failed, loaded files, failed, and kept going back and forth.
However, Yang Hui could see that Cagalli was gradually coming back to her senses. Although she was still full of loopholes, she was no longer as stiff as a corpse.
I don't know how much time passed, but Yang Hui did not apply to Cagalli for a battle again, but left the cockpit and left directly.
Seeing this, Lyle shrugged and opened the cockpit where Cagalli was from the outside. He saw her slumped weakly on the seat, with her chest still rising slightly. This person was as weak as if she had been fished out of the water.
.
"he's gone?"
"Do you think you can continue now?"
"I can……"
"The fourth lesson is, no matter how difficult it is, don't give up. I think you have learned it. The fifth lesson is that you should analyze the battle situation based on the actual situation, rather than die meaninglessly."
"Tch, you...you and that bastard...talk in the same tone..."
"This is what Yang Hui taught me, so I will naturally teach it to you."
"..."
"I have contacted Mana. She will come to take you back soon. All the battle records have been sent to your PAD. Take a good look at it while you rest."
"What a bad idea, you guys. Not only are you humiliating me here, but you also want me to continue to humiliate myself when I go back?" The short rest allowed Cagalli to regain some strength. Although she still didn't want to move, she could still regain her original arrogance when speaking.
Coquettish attitude.
"Then Lesson 6..."
"besides!?"
"...Review, find deficiencies from the combat records and make changes next time."
Today's class is over, and Lyle didn't communicate more with Cagalli. It's not his cup of tea anyway. Unless instructed by Yang Hui, he doesn't want to interact more with this arrogant and stubborn princess.
Soon, Mana, the nanny who had taken care of Cagalli since she was a child, picked her up. Although she felt distressed seeing Cagalli's weakness, she also knew that this was what Yang Hui meant, and she even knew that Yang Hui was doing this for her.
Cagalli is fine and doesn't dare to say anything more.
After taking a bath and changing into quick clothes, Cagalli lay on the bed and thought about everything that had happened before. Her grievances and unwillingness all came to her.
Cagalli knew that Yang Hui could pilot a mobile suit and knew that he was very powerful, but she had never been an opponent and never knew what it was like to face Yang Hui. In addition, in North Africa, in the only battle in North Africa, Yang Hui defeated [Desert War]
Tiger], but it also damaged the enemy by one thousand and eight hundred, which lowered her evaluation of Yang Hui.
It wasn't until today that she knew what it was like to face Yang Hui driving a mobile suit. She could feel the pressure even in a simulated battle, as well as the ability to annihilate enemies cleanly.
"What, isn't it just that your driving skills are great? What's so great about it?" Cagalli vented. If she hadn't been too tired to move, things in the house would have suffered.
