Now, I would like to say the next pair is However

Professor Gasoul, while scratching his head, Points toward the machine Phallas was riding.

Just as youve seen just now, this one can only do basic maneuvers. For that reason, well the number order with the sole remaining machine. Itll take a little time, but the remaining number of people is also small, I think well manage somehow. The next one is certainly

A certain students name as been called, going to board the machine. While Im following him with my eyes, folding my arms, my finger was tapping.

There, the usual three come around.

Eldo, calm down

Youre eyes are glazed rather than your usual sleepy look, I feel like its more correct to call it lack of sleep

Layla and Leon, come chide me.

I directly sitting onto the prairie, lowering my line of sight a little and check up on my foot. Over there, even there was my foot unconsciously repeatedly tapping.

I will later, How long can I wait

I think a little later. Look, one person roughly take 10 to 15 minutes. Except Eldo, theres 3 people left, even if its long it wont take longer than 1 hour

Oh, my leg began digging into the ground

Aaah, isnt there something to distract my mood? Thinking so, just as Im restlessly surveying my surrounding, a certain person came into view. The appearance of Phallas receiving that hes determined as no good from the 3rd Professor. In the hands of the Professor are several sheets of paper, while looking at those, talking to him.

Come to think of it, how was Laylas grade? You already heard it, right?

In order to distract the accumulated pile of feelings, I asked Layla. Until just now, Layla should have been thinking about her practice plan from now on under the data collected from the Professors.

Overall, Ive maintained a high level, theres no special weakness that need to be mentioned. But, if I dare say, I guess Itll be better to make movement at the moment of avoiding an attack. This was the impression I got from the evaluation. From now on, with the current ridden machine squatting and horizontal movement, Id like to try to bend the upper body, Id like to try a little unusual movement. The operating ratios data is this, would you take a look?

Layla takes out folded papers from her pocket.

Three sheets in total. What was written on those is the machines data collected earlier. Looks like what the Professor was looking at is this.

Looks like the fuel of consumption and gas mileage became a little numerous due to Phallass interferences, but the rate of operation of the joints is overall more than eighty percent, it can be seen that you are skillfully using the whole body. As to prove it, contrary to the operating ratio, the burden had been suppressed to below ten percent.

Certainly, if its this, the Professors should nothing to say.

I laughed unintentionally when you dodged the sword by diving

Its because its not normal so its considered as an interference. Depending on the course of events, He might even throw himself upon you

If it was me, Id do my best to provoke him and let the other side attack me. On top of that, even then Id have him crushed.

Im really stupid.

Its quite so

Thats right

While watching the guidance of the Professors who began their lecturing, we similarly nod our heads.

Then, how was it Baptiste, Leon? From what Ive seen, there was such excessive movement but

40 percent is indeed too high. Is it an aggressive change of course?

The machine is under too much burden because the Auto gyro and the Balance System is moving at a level where its at the limit of its potential through pushy instructions.

It looks like at the forest section, in order to avoid the trees the movements got excessive. in the future, in the center of the forest section, youll intensely practice the control of the legs

For me, it was the opposite of Baptiste, Im too careful with the machine and that didnt display its power. The fuel efficiency was poor, I was told thats better to step more on it

Aah, if you didnt sufficiently put in power itll cause the balance to easily crumble

If the balance is easily crumbled, using the Gyro and Auto-Balancer, The machine will try to maintain its posture. It will of course result in the consumption of High Magia Liquid so the fuel efficiency deteriorates.

While I am thinking that even the piloting of machine reveals the personality of the pilot, when I wondered about what kind of habit would come out from my piloting, the extra exercises became fun

Aah, Make me pilot it already!

Waiting for another 30 min. Finally, my turn finally came!

Good, Well lastly Eldo Where did Eldo go?

If youre talking about Eldo, hes already on top of the machine

As Layla is saying so she points at the aluminares cockpit. I was waiting for the Professors instruction at that entrance. Its because boarding without permission is indeed bad.

Huuh. You can embark. Make it maneuverable

Roger that!

Diving in in order to sit, tightening the seat belt.

Confirmation of the generator start-up. Preservation of the output in the first equilibrium range. Confirmation of the monitors lighting. No anomalies in various meters. Remaining High Magia Liquid 30 percent. As expected, itll turn this way if you use it for one day. Well, I think theres enough margin to do about one lap course.

Steppeing into the output pedal, making the generator output rise.

Out of the 24 sheets of the 4-sided monitor the lowest one shows the aluminares back. On that, I could see Layla and co.

Equipment check, the magic on the levers index finger button is only Shock Burst. One sword on both side of the waist. With the continuous use of the blades checking one part of it. Theres no problem in the test itself.

How is it? Are you ready

Well then, Im starting the exercises

If I can be answered it, sure

I had forgotten to ask about an important matter.

Are we going to do this course every year right?

If so how long is the best time of the successive generations?

Okay, give me 1 minute please

thanks you

Hmm, 5 minutes 21 seconds, huh? Laylas time was certainly 5 minutes 40 seconds, Baptiste was 5 minutes 32 seconds, Leon was 6 minutes just. If you think so, if you ran with a common maneuver, It should be physically difficult to cut to 5 minute 20 seconds.

I press the top switches and buttons, continuing to change the setting of the machine.

Good, the entire system is all green.

Professor, please

I see. Well then, Eldos machine Start!

Along with the signal, I depress the pedal with full force.

At the same time, controlling the lever, bringing down the upper body forward. The buttons with the left hand, by adjusting the output with my legs, maintaining the machines balance.

The monitors 4 sheets are always displaying the status of the machine, while Im changing the output distribution according to it, it began to run through the prairie.

Fast

The sound collecting magic picked up the voice of someone else. Of course, an aluminare with its balancer cut off moves its legs without questions. There, things like the center of gravity and equilibrium .

Switching back and forth between the foot pedal and the generator pedal without hurrying, my left hand always held up to the buttons at the top.

On my left side. Originally , by using the lock-on feature, once the alignment is on target you shoot the magic, but my machine with its lok-on mechanism cut off is already aiming at it, cutting that time.

*Zudon~* As the shock is applied to the machine, it looks like the balance will crumble for a moment. Operating it even more firmly, running through the prairie to stabilize the machine.

Up to now, 20 seconds. Im moving more than 22 seconds faster than Baptistes fastest time.

As expected, by way of controlling the machine myself, the machine moves the way I want it to. Its not always a good thing to automatize everything and anything!

Removing the lock on the right hip, taking a sword. In no minute, if just by releasing the lock you can grasp the aluminares sword, it is not necessary to purposely twist your waist in order to draw a sword on the opposite side.

twisting the maachines wrist, cutting the first target in the forest section with minimal movement.

Getting off the branches[TN: I wonder if the author made a typo here cause there no way an aluminare can come down from tree branches], avoiding trees, When it stepped onto roots Im paying attention to the balance while running through the forest, the 2nd target came into my view.

After I passed by it, the target is gone, this target is within my hand.

The place of the target after this one will be a little bit distant from the shortest path. I absolutely cannot take a detour in order to destroy this. With this path the best way to reduce time is right here.

Raising the output only for a moment, applying pressure on the foot.

However Im experiencing this once. When I fought for the first time, I rose up to the sky in order to get out of the valley.

At the place where it was jumping up highly, Im checking the position of the target while controlling the machine. Then, displaying my talent, I threw the target I held in the machines hand.

This is also because Im destroying the targets of the forest section without using any magic, its within the rules. If its not, Ill throw a tantrum.

While increasing the output, Im bracing for the impact.

I disperse the burden on the machine using the whole body.

Thanks to that, without its joints screaming, it was firmly operating within the expected burden.

The remaining 2 targets of the forest section are on the shortest path. Those also are diligently destroyed, I came out of the forest section.

While smiling and grinning, I accelerate towards the goal.

With the sword remaining drawn, destroying targets by passing them by. I dive toward the goal without slowing down at all.

While dropping the output, Im gradually raising the foot pedal.

I put the Balancer function on in the mean time, also restoring the other functions. When I leave it like this, it isnt likely to be difficult even if the next ride on is the Professor.

While the machine is stopped, I wipe the sweat on my forehead and remove the seat belt, I open the hatch.

Well, I wonder how my time was? Although I think that I put out the fastest time without a doubt.

I got off the machine with its generator cut, I was returning down to the students and Professors that were stunned and blankly left their mouth open.

The moment I got onto the prairie, I was swiftly surrounded by the three people including Layla.

Hey! What does that mean!

The speed too, but the magic firing position should have been too soon. How did you do that?

Ooh, calm down, Because Ill explain

While soothing the three people coming over, for the time being we head down to the Professor.

Professor Gasoul , as we got closer finally comes to his sense, he greeted me.

For now, you did something incredible. Its the fist time we update the speed record in 7 years

Its 4 minutes 37 seconds. Is there someone that can surpass this?

I think that a capable person can

After all, even though its manual control, what youre doing is no different from driving an MT car. Well, but while changing gear, you have to do it without a windshield and lamp. The people that can do that should be able to. Even I could do it.

If I tell the way I performed the piloting, Professor Gasoul would be groaning while thinking of something. I wonder if hes thinking about what hes going to add on the trainings plan from here on out. Anyway since Id like to find out what I can do by myself so its fine.

I understood the use of speed. well done. After collecting the data well hand it to so wait a little bit

Its understood

Professor gasoul approaches the machine I rode. Over theres already, other Professors who have been working on the extraction of data.

I face the 3 people while I follow it with my eyes.

Thats about it

I wonder if I can pilot it up to that point, aint I a fool!?

Honestly, I dont feel like Im able to do it but

The general reaction was similar to this.

Well, I also had a period where I frequently trained. From now on, well be having many periods of free exercises, If you have 1 year youll be able to use it. But this, is quite tiring

Taking out a water bottle from the luggage and quickly drink it up. Because of the mental strain, my throat was also dry.

If so, Im going to practice. Im reluctant to leaving it to a defeat

If you can do those movements, your chance of survival in the battlefield will dramatically increase. Leaving aside using it at the exam, it doesnt hurt in practicing it, huh?

It looks like everyone is going to practice the manual control. If thats the case, the test at the end of the three years is likely going to be more and more difficult. Wait , those that cant do this, will definitely be dropped.

Breathing a sigh, at the time I was wiping my sweat, the Professors called me.

Well then, Ill see you a little later

Itll surely end up with a single word Wonderful

Do say

While cracking jokes, I headed down to the Professors.

The mood over there is somehow heavy. However, rather than calling it a funeral, but the weight of the mood is such as when a subordinate failed an important work.

Well, either way, only being comfortable is bad.

Is something wrong?

I timidly try to enquire.

Oh, were extracting Eldos data, but somehow the numbers are strange

Only the right hands numbers is less strange. Its probable that I couldnt record it. An accurate judgement cant be made with this. Im sorry but can you do another round, you may come to do another round at another time

Indeed, because my left hand was continuously operating the top buttons and switches, meaning there was mostly no time to grasp the joystick.

The Professors, at my explanation look at me with surprise.

Its in order to greatly minimize the burden on the Sense Board all I could control on my own I did. I also cancelled the Lock function, The screens had to be fixed in a way that best matched the situation, Just as I told you earlier, the Balancer has also been cancelled. By cancelling the Balancer, the machines speed comes out. As expected when you remove the gyroscope youll have to maintain the equilibrium, on top of all that, besides as for the generator, the pressure adjustment since I had to do all of those. Thanks to those I didnt have any time to grasp the joystick

As Professor Gasoul is muttering, the other Professors raised voices in objection.

Thats preposterous, Can you guys even do that kind of piloting?

However, the data is consistent with the explanation. Should the piloting record also be similar?

When Professor Gasoul who was the only one that didnt say a word, inquired the Sense Board departments Professor, that Professor nodded his head slowly.

Even in the collecting device, the was no abnormalities in the Sense Board. His words have been proved by this machine

Or, theres a mistake on our side?

Along with those words, a sharp gaze flew towards the Professors. Unlike the pilot department Professors, the professor of the Sense Board department is fairly slim, reminiscent of a Doctor wearing a white coat if anything. However, from his narrow eyes a glint is emitted, not being outdone by the other Professors.

No

No, because its a fact that theres doubt over the data

Leaving this data aside, Id like to consider the future practices menu, but is there any comment?

As Professor Gasoul inquire about the opinions of the other Professors, well nothing comes back.

After all, with a piloting thats never been done before, because I put out the best results , theres no way to give advice.

Hmm, then can I say one thing?

Raising his hand while saying so, its Professor Karon of the Sense Board department.

Considering over the fall of the processing capacity of the Sense Board, it seems that Eldo-kun has switched to manual a lot of actions, right?

Yes, I thought that if the burden became large its movement will get worse and I thought the same of the Sense board

No matter how good the OS is, a variety of operating data is accumulated, if it increased up to the maximum permissible level, its movements becomes heavier and slow. I thought that the same principle applied.

Certainly, that opinion is correct. The Sense Board is inscribed with a large number of characters within a limited range, If we can pilot the same way as Eldo-kun we could fill in many more magic and operating processes. Yet, itll be as easy as writing into the gap convenient magic such as the sword lock, the cockpit air-conditioning system, light etc Even if we shave it off, its effect wont appears. Later, given that a percentage of the Sense Boards written content is transferred into a book, using it as a reference, where do we cut off? where do we leave it behind? we can even try and consider it. As for cooling systems and the like, its part of a system that manages the physical condition of the pilot. If you are able to operate it to that extent, the cockpit environment should a little bit better

Hmm, Well then, Eldo, from now on using this book, youll review[TN: the word here can also mean ] the piloting that matches you, alright?

Yes

Seeing me nod my head, Professor Gasoul sends his voice to the other students.

with this, the combat practice ends. This all for todays lesson, hereafter, each one of you can do whatever you like

Thank you very much!

Thus my first combat practice came to an end.
