Fifty-eight: The God of the Cause

"As a senior, I will tell you one last thing... No matter what type of mecha it is, the core responsible for the conversion power is in the chest position." The iron-gray body in front of me, covered with special alloy, began to lift slightly, and raised the beam rifle in his hand to the girl in front of me.

Although due to the training armor, both in terms of energy output and the propulsion of the body have been deliberately weakened, and the only thing that meets the standard is the protection of the armor, but as Howard said, the core of power depends on the prerequisite for the movement of the body. Even if this armor is higher than the attack level, as long as it is hit directly, it will be enough to completely silent the opponent's mecha.

The trial took a while...but this was over! The beam of heat-filled light followed Howard's confident trigger and pulled it towards the girl who seemed to have to land on the ground because of the sharp decline in the body's function, and showed a puzzled expression.

"Are you scared? But unfortunately, even if you can see clearly and be able to avoid attacks, as long as this body cannot operate, you cannot make any effective actions by yourself!" As if time had become slow at this moment, Howard quietly stared at the beam and was about to hit the candidate in front of him.

Although it is not good to be so serious as an examiner, but... if this exam is very important to her, then isn't your face very important to me? Besides, I am just a candidate, only one-two thousand of the candidates who are taking the exam this year!

What surprised Howard was that the girl who was about to hit the body power system by the beam seemed to suddenly come to her senses, and narrowed her eyes slightly at the beam that was about to hit her in front of her, as if she was thinking about something: "Is that so? I'm still worried about where is the weakness that can be enough to kill with one blow..."

This kind of words made Howard sneer—it was really a leisurely word… The opponent in front of him wouldn’t think that his armor was enough to withstand such a direct hit attack? If that was the case, then why should he install a shield on the left arm of the body?

While he was thinking this, the mecha, which seemed to have completely exhausted energy, suddenly bent his knees and sideways to avoid this fatal blow - what? Unexpectedly, there was still power to avoid it? Howard showed a shocked expression.

But then he immediately felt relieved, because although he made the evasive move, what he had to say was to avoid the consequences of the power system being destroyed by one strike - the beam of dodged still hit the mecha on the opponent's left shoulder with constant retention.

What it represents is some precision instruments of the balance system. Perhaps in this way, even if the other party has enough function to take off, it will be completely unable to fly? And not only that, the current damage to her body is probably difficult to complete even ordinary movements?

In other words, it has become a target that cannot be moved. Howard thought so, and he was not dissatisfied with the fact that his attack was avoided, because it was just a shot that could end her, and it turned out that it needed two shots - and this time the other party could never dodge!

Howard thought so and raised the beam rifle in his hand again. However, a dazzling light suddenly shot into his eyes, forcing him to close his eyes a little while also habitually avoiding his retreat. But in this moment, the beam rifle in his hand seemed to have been hit by some physical attack, and broke into two pieces and exploded slightly in his hand...

Is it the opponent's long-range attack? Is it a turret located on both legs? No, it is not an equipment that can accurately hit at this distance, so the only thing that can be done is the beam rifle? But that was impossible to shoot due to the attenuation of skills before, right? Howard thought so and hurriedly looked up at the candidate in front of him.

However, what fell into his eyes was the opponent's empty hands and the throwing posture. At the same time, a physical sword was inserted at his feet. It seemed that the attack he had made before was really dangerous. If he had not avoided it in time, he might have been hit directly by him, right? Howard thought with lingering fear.

"What?!" Howard made a surprised voice.

"Tsk!" But compared to his surprise, Rorona only hummed with dissatisfaction at her previous missed attack.

If you are hit, you will probably suffer less damage, right? Howard thought deeply, and said, "Excellent, I didn't expect that in this case, I can still cause damage to me. Although it is just a beam rifle... But this alone is enough to increase your actual combat score by another level!"

As he said this, he slowly drew out the physical sword at his waist. Although he was not a specialty in close hand-to-hand combat, he was just a freshman in front of him. Moreover, the opponent's beam rifle could not be used and the physical sword was thrown out like a desperate attempt, then even if the opponent was a good player in hand-to-hand combat, he had no weapons to compete with him!

"But unfortunately, the score of C is still not passed. Maybe if the communication department you signed up for, it has already passed? So, from the beginning, you didn't recognize how much you can reach with such a person!" Howard stood straight with his body holding a physical sword.

Although the opponent's previous attack made him feel worried, it only made him end the opponent with shooting, and turned into using sword strike to end the opponent. Apart from that... there was no change!

and……

"Damn it!" With Rorona's sudden scream, her body began to completely darken, and she still maintained the previous movement of throwing a physical sword, standing silently on the ground, unable to move at all.

I am powerless to make things happen. Even if I have excellent plans, even if I have advanced bodies, or the most advanced driving skills, everything for the driver is based on the fact that the body can move! In other words, as long as the body cannot move, then I am just an ordinary person!

Howard looked at the scene in front of him and was not surprised, or this scene should have happened long ago. He didn't expect that the other party could throw a long sword and was unexpectedly moving slowly, approaching the opponent who could not move. Although hand-to-hand combat was not what he wanted, since the other party could no longer move, it would be a different matter.

"It seems that the last moment of resistance just now is the last energy? You can no longer move now." Howard said slowly.

"It's over..." As he said this, the wing behind him suddenly unfolded, and the powerful propulsion supported the heavy mecha and rushed towards Rorona.

At this moment, even the tutor responsible for rating who was seriously concerned about the battle, looked away. The table in front of them was the rating paper that determined whether Rorona passed this time, and they were about to write on the rating table.

Although he looks like a freshman who is OK in driving, and the last one is really good, he can actually make the fourth-grade examiner disarm... But if he wants to have a B score, he must at least have to fight with the examiner for a certain round?! Just this one cannot be a reason to satisfy them.

At this moment, Howard, with the sudden burst of propulsion, had instantly shortened the distance between him and Rorona and had already attacked in front of him - it only took 2 seconds next! No, 1 second, maybe not even 0.5 seconds! The opponent will enter the attack range of his physical sword!

Really, he actually became serious about a freshman? Howard shook his head helplessly, but he still did not stop rushing forward. As he said, even an occasional rating error is not a big deal. After all, there are thousands of such candidates every year!

"You underestimate me too much..." Just as he was about to swing the sword blade at the other party, such a voice began to come from the other party's mouth.

At the same time, at this moment, the sound of the body sounded in his ears - of course, since he was driving the mecha, it was normal for this sound to appear, but the only thing that made him uneasy was just because... the sound of the body sounded in front of him?

What's going on? Such a thought appeared in his mind, and at the same time, the light of the girl's body in front of him slowly lit up again - just like it was restarted.

What?! Howard showed a shocked expression. Why is this happening? No matter from any point of view, the opponent in front of him is completely trapped in a desperate situation where the energy is exhausted and the body cannot move.

"I've been waiting for this opportunity, but I've been waiting for a long time." Rorona continued slowly, and raised her head. Howard's shocked eyes showed a smile of "conspiracy succeeding" when he looked at the other party?

A series of dense shelling sounded from the turrets placed on both sides of the opponent's legs, but Howard, a fourth-year raiding department, was not the kind of rookie who would stand aside whenever he encountered an accident. He stopped the momentum of rushing forward in just a moment, and at the same time, he reclaimed two arms covered with thick mechas to protect himself.

Is it a turret that fires live ammunition? That's all... Such an attack cannot break through the body's armor! But the advantage is that it is very sudden. Howard thought slowly and steadily protected himself.

Although it is still a failure to make the opponent's attack return, this is not the most important issue at the moment - that is, was the dark scene of the opponent's body completely exhausted and unable to move before, which was an illusion she deliberately made? Moreover, before that, she deliberately gave up her only melee weapon and wanted to destroy her beam rifle, and at the same time achieved the goal of dispelling her own vigilance?

In this way...

"This is... a trap?!" Howard's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of such a terrible idea - it's so terrible. If he guessed correctly, at least not long after he started fighting with a beam rifle, the other party had already come up with such a series of strategies, and at the same time he was also setting up this trap that was enough to completely let him fall into it without knowing it!

"You guy!" Howard shouted angrily, but the angry voice still couldn't help but feel a hint of panic, and at the same time, he desperately drove the mecha backwards.

"Oh? After realizing this, the priority conclusion was to get rid of this situation first, rather than take advantage of it to attack?" Just as Howard was about to retreat, Rorona in front of him also moved closer and made such an expected sound.

"My actions were read out? No, was it guessed?" In Howard's eyes, the ridicule in the corner of the other person's mouth that was still curled was so dazzling - are you going to lose?

"I never said from the beginning... the body can no longer move, right? Such things are just what you think!" Rorona suddenly touched the shield armed forces installed on her left arm in the surprised eyes, and at the same time, she grabbed the other party tightly with her empty arms like iron pliers.

"You can't run away, right? Then, the part that can directly cause the body to lose its ability to move with one blow..." While saying this, the combat knife equipped on the waist of the body ejected out and took it steadily with his right hand.

"Is it here?!"

Rorona is not alone now! The legendary man, Ruogi God, possessed his soul at this moment. This kind of useless weapon that others would not use except for emergency responses. The combat knife steadily penetrated the mecha on the other party's chest under the momentum attached to Rorona, and inserted it into the system position that is said to be the transformation power...

At this moment, the two heavy bodies began to stop and rush forward, and stopped on the ground, while also maintaining the action that hit the other party's chest, as if time was still at this moment - because no one of them understood that it was over!

Howard gently pressed the button and confirmed that his body was really unable to move, he raised his head with disbelief and looked at the girl who gave him a fatal blow: "How is this... possible? The energy of your body should indeed be in danger! The inability to use the beam weapon again is proof!"

At this time, his body was the same as the other person's body just now. Any function was still, and the lights were dimmed. The only difference was... What was before was just the illusion of defeat made by the opponent, but at this moment his was absolutely true!

"Ah, that, that is absolutely true... But if you say that I have ignored the energy of the body, I don't dare to agree! From the beginning, I shot uncontrollably to wait for the moment when the energy enters the danger value, and the purpose is to deceive you!" Rorona stared at the examiner in front of her and said slowly.

After victory, even she couldn't help but have such extremely pleasant thoughts in her heart. How long has the pleasure of victory not been there? As she became stronger and stronger, there was no such situation where the other party was far superior to her in any aspect, and she only relied on wisdom.

Perhaps in addition to just getting the client, she was only able to feel it in the forest as a maid in the academy, and never felt it again. This feeling of relying on wisdom to defeat her opponent gave her an incomparable sense of satisfaction.

"So, what you see is true! And what is really false is when the function completely stopped... If you really want to say, that was just an action I made on purpose and temporarily cut off the energy source. But that kind of scene fell into the eyes of a guy like you who had long thought that I would exhaust energy at any time, so it naturally became that explanation!"

"What?!" Although he had already expected it, Howard still showed a shocked expression.

At the other party's shock, Rorona simply nodded: "You, who claims to be a sniper department, have given me the best information from the beginning. Although you don't know how hand-to-hand combat is performed at close range, the minimum level will definitely not be higher than the long-range shooting state!"

"And it seems that you have consciously avoided this from the beginning. Although it seems that you want to defeat me perfectly, this will make me better sure of my guess... Then the only question left is - how to get close to you."

From the beginning... Howard thought with a ugly face - this guy had thought of such a plan from the beginning. It can be said that what he had done before was just following the script ordered by the other party, acting like a puppet...

It was my own defeat, a big failure! If even the situation where the energy entered the dangerous line was made by the other party, then the one who really did not give the other party any harm... it was me who was the examiner! Howard lowered his head in surprise.

This guy...who is the girl bathing in the sunshine in the sky with a winning smile in front of him?

"The actual assessment of student No. 810 ended..." At this time, the voice from the scoring instructor also sounded from the wide field.

"The winner of this battle is Luo of No. 810..." The voice continued to spread, because it seems that it is obvious who won the final victory. Howard also bowed his head as if he accepted his fate - as an examiner, he actually lost to the freshman. Will this shame accompany his entire academic performance?

But suddenly, the instructor's voice suddenly stopped.

"Uh? It seems that's not the case?"

"Well, look at the body of the candidate..."

"Ah, so that's how it is."

After some discussion, the voice continued to speak after clearing his throat.

"This battle...because both sides are unable to act at the same time, it is a draw!"

Even Rorona was stunned by this conclusion. At the same time, she looked at the mecha on her body, but found that she could not move at all. It seemed that after piercing the combat knife through the opponent's energy system, the last trace of energy was really exhausted.

"Hey?!! How can this be done!!" The wide venue was filled with sighs of great disappointment.
Chapter completed!
