71 – Chapter 25. A Kind Of Game – 3
– 72 –
Across the battlefield embodied by magic.
In the simulation based on the experimental machine, the helicopter’s rotor sound was quite loud, unlike my body.
When I make a full-scale mass production machine later, I’ll have to teach you how to suppress the noise with the spirit of the wind.
The spirits, not me.
Examine the battlefield from a high place.
A tank unit rushing over the hills and fields.
Allied troops are pushed forward with a similar number.
I thought I could win if I left it alone, but I probably wouldn’t have made it so sloppy.
At least, the enemy’s air power level should be suppressed from this side.
A group of Wyverns, the basic aerial power of the enemy, were scattered here and there.
They appear steadily from battle difficulty B, so I have learned quite a bit about how to deal with this aircraft.
“[[Earthsphere]]”
The fire spirit that dwells in the device has loaded the Earth Sphere in a virtual space.
The wyverns were at least three wyverns.
Even if you accurately hit an Earth Spear that can be loaded two at a time, there are still a few left.
I was advised to place it like this on purpose in order to develop the ability to respond to situations, but it was not annoying when we bumped into each other.
If I repeat attacking and running away, I can catch them all someday, but in difficulty S, I didn’t seem to be able to break it by winning alone.
You can’t be tied to a few Wyverns in a place where friendly and enemy forces are having a large rotation.
You can’t really relax on the battlefield.
I have only one Earth Sphere loaded.
Aimed at a wyvern wandering in the distance with his eyes, he pulled the lever of the chain gun with his left hand and set it up.
And just before the attack, the enemy’s anti-aircraft fire started from below.
The helicopter I was on was the only aircraft on the friendly side, so it was obvious who they were aiming for.
When I tilted the aircraft while keeping the direction fixed, the magic deviated greatly to the side.
Anti-aircraft guns with a much higher launch angle than tanks were mixed here and there.
Thinking about this, can I defeat them without Hellfire?
Up to difficulty A, if you roughly tap the Earth Sphere, it will take some time, but you can break it.
However, from difficulty S, which is close to time attack, it seemed difficult to break until the mass-produced weapons of Hellfire were mounted.
However, we have one more weapon.
Tactics that take full advantage of the characteristics of helicopters that have never been seen before, that is, ‘staying in place in the air or being free to maneuver’, although it was not revealed much in the data I accumulated in actual combat.
I pressed the small button next to the Armed Manastone.
Communication button that can be used only in the simulation.
If you look closely, you can see the map of the surroundings floating on the front window, divided into rectangular-shaped areas.
And the number assigned to each zone is named in a system similar to that used in current military operations, so mastering it through training was another purpose of combat training.
I didn’t have to write up to difficulty A, so I thought I’d made it less yet, but I’ve got something to write from S.
Let’s see…….
Quickly scanned each area of the map that had a mixture of letters and numbers in the Holy Kingdom.
“The units located at C-1,2,3 break through the hill to the B2 area. D-4 through 7 must hold their current position.”
A device that recognizes my words draws a route on a map floating in the corner.
I prepared the Earth Sphere by squinting to see if the path was correct.
After moving allies to the location where the anti-aircraft guns were concentrated, they followed them and slowly caught the Wyverns.
The missing guys didn’t have to go too far alone, as the allies’ anti-aircraft weapons properly caught them.
There was a bloody bombardment, but on the battlefield in reality, an unparalleled safety scene was being produced.
At least there are no corpses, no bloody or burning smell.
They say that if you show them that, children will get trauma.
The enemy’s anti-aircraft guns were broken one by one, and then they were reduced to a noticeable level only on the other side of the battlefield.
With the exception of a small group of Wyverns, attacks on me were almost non-existent.
The power of the ally who received a concentrated attack while breaking through one point was considerably reduced.
Judging from the crowd, it was about 2:3.
However.
Allies have a great asymmetric force called helicopters.
It doesn’t just mean flying in the air and having enough destructive power to destroy tanks.
The role given to me was as a maestro on the battlefield who draws the whole picture in the air.
I just cleared up the enemies near where the anti-aircraft guns were gathered, and sent out a communication.
“B2’s troops hit the enemy’s flanks through B3, and C and D’s 4-7 units keep the front line.”
The path I drew pierced the side of the enemy who was facing the ally.
Suddenly, the tight front line began to collapse due to an attack from the flank.
The virtual tanks returned with a handful of magical power.
Wyverns, who had their mouths wide open and shot something, were also oxidized by Earth Sphere and anti-aircraft magic.
Even the friendly units that maintained the front began to push up, and the balance of victory was completely tilted toward the allies.
Finally, I was able to defeat all the enemies and clear the battle difficulty S.
When I got out of the machine to catch my breath, the children were applauding with excitement.
“Awesome, Erif!”
“Teach us too.”
He raised his hand moderately to the cheers, drank water and went straight into the machine.
Let’s break even SS.
There is no afternoon class left today, and Chermia, the only person who can pull me out of here, is taking classes.
Besides, I couldn’t live up to the kids’ expectations, so I went straight to the battle mode difficulty SS.
Dudung-
A heavy drum sounded from the device.
The sound of the battlefield was heard, such as the sound of the orbit turning and the main gun smashing the building, and then something slowly began to appear on the front window.
It didn’t start with a helicopter floating in the air as usual.
From the viewpoint of looking at the sky from the ground, the magical rays of light that embroidered all around stimulated the eyes.
I lowered my visor and looked at the screen with a slightly frown, and a small dot began to appear over the sky.
It was the direction in which the nearby anti-aircraft guns were firing all at once.
The dot grew bigger and bigger and soon began to take on a distinct shape.
It was noisy outside.
He seemed to have figured out the identity of that little dot.
No, it wasn’t small anymore.
It is an ancient creature with two sharp wings that pierce the sky, four strong legs, claws that tear the earth, and a breath that burns everything.
The dragon was approaching.
Woouk-
It was a short and concise attack.
I think I was just breathing lightly, but the whole area became a sea of fire.
Burning barracks, allied soldiers who had disappeared without direct expression, and buildings that had become ashes were all over the place.
The role I was given was ‘lucky surviving pilot’.
Sight chased the dragon’s tail and was dragged down to the ground.
A healthy helicopter in front of you.
Approaching the helicopter with a squeaking motion and boarding it.
The instrument panel that appeared on the screen gradually went down and disappeared.
And the game started.
“Whoa.”
After taking a deep breath, I pulled the lever and stepped on the pedal.
I thought it was a little awkward before, but it’s because I couldn’t realize the feeling of taking off.
This was a limitation of the device itself, so it seemed difficult to solve.
While I was thinking about something else, I saw a dragon turning in the distance.
What to do.
Earth Sphere, as well as Sidewinder or even Hellfire, it was uncertain whether it would work even if it was fed dozens of shots.
I placed an order, but I didn’t expect it to be implemented so strongly.
I quickly turned my nose and hid behind the buildings.
Kooung-
The building in front of me vibrated and collapsed.
After that, a dragon, which could have reached several tens of meters in its body alone, was flying slowly.
“[[Earthsphere!]]”
I don’t know if it will work, but I fired the Earth Sphere first.
The dragon flew so fast that the chase continued for a long time, but as soon as it started turning, it was barely able to hit its tail.
… And nothing happened.
“That guy is too strong.”
You won’t be able to win at least at this stage.
No, it seems difficult to win even if I mobilize my body.
If you unify, your opponent will be able to do something, but that’s my own unique ability, so I didn’t include that function in my training.
Initially, the uniting ability was not researched separately, so it was a plate that had to deal with dragons only with Earth Sphere, chain gun, and control skills.
Can I really give that huge flying lizard a valid hit?
The goal was lowered by a successful attack rather than a win, but I decided not to care much.
In the beginning, it is said that all dragons left the physical world before the start of the Shinma War, so there would be nothing to deal with.
This is a kind of event stage.
Yes. Let’s think so.
I didn’t lose to the simulation.
Because no matter how strong a hero is, he cannot face the Demon King with a branch.
This is the equipment’s fault.
When I saw the dragon with its mouth wide open toward this side, I hardened my heart.
All I could give the dragon were two Earth Spears and a few magic bullets fired with a chain gun.
Shuung-
Essence of fire gathered in the mouth of the dragon that shook off the Earth Sphere and magic bullets from an exquisite distance with one flap of its wings.
It was a tremendous momentum that I dare not say that my hellfire was stronger.
I almost closed my eyes at the vivid image that was hard to believe that it was a fantasy realized with magical power.
The dragon roared low and shot a breath.
Just before being caught up in the flames that burned everything, he rapidly dropped his altitude as if he had fallen.
As if the breath had rubbed the tail wing, the aircraft began to hover unstable in place.
I rather like it.
“Eat this!”

Pulling the lever with the force to break it, it soared and crashed into the dragon with the rotating rotor and his body.
aaah-!
The dragon screamed as if it had hit a vital point somewhere.
I was dizzy because of the screen that kept rotating on my own.
Seeing that neither the lever nor the pedals are working, it seems that the helicopter is stuck somewhere in the dragon’s body.
I couldn’t escape because it wasn’t even real, so I pressed the button to attack.
The dragon’s scream grew louder.
Dreuk- Druck-
It was clear that the rotor was hanging somewhere.
The rotor, which had been repeating the motion of turning and stopping little by little, became free little by little.
The screen was facing the ground as if falling to the floor at the same time.
Thump
In the end, without flying again, it crashed into the floor with a simple sound and it was game over.
“Ah!”
Unknowingly, I spit out a flurry of regret.
It’s too difficult.
And something got weird in the middle.
When I took off the helmet and came out of the machine, the children were screaming.
Everyone seemed to be surprised by the appearance of the dragon.
“SS is very difficult. In fact, there will be no dragons, so you just practice up to S.”
“Uh, ah, okay.”
The reaction of the children was strange.
Aren’t they whispering to each other while looking at me, or secretly avoiding their seats?
Are you avoiding it because you can’t catch a single dragon after talking about being a relic pilot?
Isn’t it weird to catch a dragon with a helicopter that doesn’t even have a proper weapon?
As she was about to be offended, one of her close friends, Cionel, approached with her eyes twinkling.
“It’s also Erif. She didn’t know how to defeat a dragon alone.”
“Huh?”
I don’t know what you’re talking about, so I looked back in case
【Combat Training Difficulty SS Clear: Erif Cruel】
An unexpected message was floating around.
After school.
I went to the lab to find out what was going on.
After gathering researchers and wizards to fix simulation errors, I played the battle difficulty SS clear video recorded on my student ID.
It was difficult to understand the situation in the first person, so after watching the video for a long time, they finally decided to go up to the 5th floor of the old school and analyze the records of the device I rode.
The next day, when I went to the lab, I got an unexpected answer.
“The scan showed it to be an error.”
“Yes?”
“Can you see this?”
The wizard played the video from the simulation device.
The point of view was in the form of observing from a distance, and it was the timing when the dragon shot the breath and I dropped the altitude.
“If you go back a little… ….”
The screen started moving slowly as the wizard injected magical energy into the small crystal ball.
The helicopter, which was spinning round and round, soared upward in time as the dragon passed.
“From here on, a chronic problem with illusion magic has arisen.”
A wizard who pauses the screen and then goes back one scene at a time.
The scene where the helicopter’s rotor was stuck in the dragon’s neck, and the body turned around and hit the face was played.
The dragon only screamed as if something was broken, and then his neck was strangely broken and it was destroyed as it is.
The video ended with the half-broken helicopter crashing into the ground.
“… ….”
None of the people who saw the video were able to speak.
The sorcerer cleared his throat, and solemnly proclaimed.
“We decided to call this a ‘bug’.”
“After all, you made a mistake!”
The dragon eventually collapsed in vain due to a small error.
The later story was nothing.
Dragon was judged to be impossible to deal with normally, so the battle difficulty SS was changed to a mission that had to lead to victory by going back and forth on an unfavorable battlefield.
It was a waste to get rid of the dragon as it is, but it is a later story that a mode that deals with strong guys one-on-one was added and became a sensation.
We enjoyed learning and grew steadily.
After the second semester’s midterm exams are over, the season has come to an end.
The Celeste Military Academy’s festival, ‘Cheontwoje’, is approaching.
