Episode 158 I’ll get off (4)

“Now you’re not doing it that badly.”
“So far, I think I’ve descended more than 40 times, isn’t it?”
“Still, it is definitely something to celebrate. After all, the number of times is more than 40 times, and in terms of duration, it’s only been a week now. In terms of time, it has improved a lot.”
“is it?”
I’m not sure if I should like this or not.
If you’ve been doing this tiring thing every day and there’s no progress, isn’t that something to be ashamed of?
or not
“By the way, how are you going to solve the financial problem? Are you paying for my experience every time? If you go on like this, you’ll end up with nothing. No matter how double it is, there is a limit to the cost that can be saved.”
“Nope. You don’t have to worry about that. You can do whatever you want.”
“I say that because I am worried. Because most of your classmates know that your situation is not so good. No matter how much money I stole from the dean, I wondered if I could spend it like that.”
“It’s okay because I have a lot of money.”
“Well, if you are.”
As if she couldn’t believe I had a lot of money, Katarina tilted her head for a moment.
Seriously, it must be hard to believe that the guy who used to whine every time he suddenly spends money like water.
I can’t tell you where the money came from, though.
The money Blake gave me was nominally a donation to the academy, so it’s not good for me or Blake if it’s known that I’m just using it to satisfy my own self-interest.
“Anyway, now I’m going.”
“Good work. See you tomorrow.”
Now, Katarina is back, too, and it’s time to prove the feasibility of my plan.
Wouldn’t it be great?

As expected, Alfred was present at the meeting point.
With a face that looks really bad.
“Are you ready? egg?”
“Don’t be shy. Gourd.”
“Albak? Are you okay? Hell’s alvac duo, Gazua!”
“Hey, now is not the time to joke around. If you don’t do this well, you’re really going to die. Do you think you want to throw it away right now and say no?”
“That’s why I called you to look after you so you don’t die.”
Where are you trying to run away alone?
You are the insurance in case of an unexpected accident.
“You asked me to team up to do something like this.”
“Of course.”
“You bastard! It’s okay if you’re alone and sulking, but I’m going to have to overwrite all the responsibility, right?”
“Uh-huh, don’t just say it won’t, say it will.”
“okay… I’m an asshole who listened to you. Tell me when you’re ready.”
“just now.”
I could hear urgent screams from behind, but the only word I knew properly was ‘crazy bastard’.
Because the sharp shattering sound tore apart the rest of the horse.
‘I said that Trinity Academy is located at an altitude of 1,500 meters. So that’s roughly 4,900 feet… it’s fast Almost immediately, I’ll have to open the parachute.’
Even while thinking about it for a moment, the number on the altimeter was only getting smaller and smaller.
It also meant that there was no room for hesitation any time soon.
If there’s a problem with this simple parachute I made, Alfred has to take care of it right away.
‘It would be nice if it worked properly.’
A wide cloth unfolded with a fluttering sound.
However, whether there was a problem with the structure or not, the speed did not decrease as much as expected.
If you keep going like this, you’ll be stuck on the floor.
“Hey, Alfred! Help me!”
“I knew it would happen, so I got off early. You’re a psychopath.”
Unbeknownst to me, Alfred caught up close to me, sighed once, grabbed hold of the canopy of the parachute and pulled it upwards.
Then, the falling speed slowly decreased.
After all, that flying ability is a scam.
This experiment itself was an experiment that would have been impossible without Alfred’s ability.
“I lived and died.”
“Honestly, I thought my head was going to explode as soon as I saw it drop. But it worked surprisingly well. I was a little surprised to see it.”
“Then, is it safe to say that we are half-successful?”
“It looks like it could be done if you just tweak the canopy a little bit. By the way, how the hell did you fix that parachute wire kinking? As soon as I saw that, I thought I was going to get f*cked, so I hurriedly flew away.”
“Oh, what? I’ll come down and explain.”
After floating in the sky for a long time, they finally landed on the snakehead reef designated as a landing spot.
The process of just spinning around in the same place was painfully boring, but I thought I was lucky that I was safe.
“So, what did you do?”
“Look Carefully.”
It seemed like he was doing magic, making a gesture of flipping his finger once.
In fact, there was nothing to call it magic, it was just a small joke.
However, Alfred seemed to like the small prank, and showed a quite intense reaction.
I guess I was surprised in a different way, though.
“Hey, this parachute for testing. Was it because of your imaginative power?”
“answer.”
“Wow, aren’t you scared? No, the idea itself is amazing. driving me crazy. really. What the hell do you do when you fail? A parachute is not something that can be replaced by randomly opening things like a tent. You’re not the f*cking Mary Poppins.”
“Ah, that’s all, I know. How many times have I skydived. I’m familiar with how the parachute works and how it works. I also worked hard to find out what the structure was.”
“ha… I do not know. I’m not the one you’ll hear you say.”
“No, it turned out well, right? Rather, the real parachute is more dangerous in the same situation. If there is an accident where the rope is twisted at a low altitude, you have to actually cut off and wait for rescue. Right now, it’s an accident that can be moderately rectified.”
“I’m saying this because if we had used a prototype in the first place, such an accident would not have happened.”
“Yeah, sorry. Sorry.”
“f*ck you bastard, hold on!”
fun. fun.
laughter comes out of nowhere
It’s the first time I’ve seen Alfred with such a good personality scream like this.
Of course, it’s embarrassing, but that’s it.
If it were a guy like Jade or James, ‘Yeah. If you run and search, you will go to hell alone.’ We might have joked about it in the same way, but this guy is a schoolboy who almost nailed it.
It’s only natural that you can’t understand such a nonsensical thing.
But, wouldn’t that make it more fun and thrilling?
“Anyway, isn’t an idea cool?”
“What… That’s undeniable. Unless there is an accident in which the aircraft is intercepted before approaching the enemy camp.”
“What are you talking about. You don’t have to.”
“Why not? It can be approached with a bare body descent, but there is a limit. That doesn’t mean you can’t deploy your parachute quickly. It’s like an advertisement saying, ‘Shoot me.’ Getting off at a distance and then entering on foot is no different from just entering normally.”
“So I prepared this.”
During the break, he took out the wingsuit he made while practicing and shook it.
“Wingsuit? Are you going to use it?”
“okay. As you said, there is a limit to sticking to the descent of the body, so this is an alternative that I found. With the ability to make yarn, there are many things you can do than you think. Only grappling can secure enough mobility in a space with a lot of terrain to use, but where that is not possible, it places great restrictions on movement. But wouldn’t this be a different story?”
“I’m going to see all the real f*cking stars. by the way… It looks like fun.”
“Is that so?”
It’s every man’s dream to be crushed.
It’s just that if I become the target, I’m going to have to take a lot of damage, so I’m just refraining from it.
It’s me, a first penguin-like bastard full of a spirit of challenge, I just can’t learn without doing it myself.
“But, I think it would take a lot of thread to make it. It doesn’t look easy to make either. Have you solved that problem?”
“I keep practicing. The amount of thread is sufficient, but the downside is that it takes quite a while to make.”
“I think I know what you are thinking. ‘With the wingsuit, we will overcome the limitations of the surrounding environment and the fact that the movement speed is not very fast, and we will reduce the risk with a parachute.’ This is it.”
“You saw it right.”
“It may be perfect in theory, but there are still too many loopholes to put it into practice. To say that it takes a long time to make means that it is impossible to quickly switch to a parachute after entering a low altitude after deploying the wingsuit… Besides, a wingsuit is a much more difficult piece of equipment to operate than a parachute. It is not for nothing that soldiers who have been trained hundreds of times in high-altitude descent are not skipped.”
it is a theory
Because I haven’t even got the skydiving license I need to experience the wingsuit yet.
In the first place, even with that license, most are satisfied with it, but I heard that only a few skydivers switch to the wingsuit.
However, I am not.

My ability is too precious to be satisfied here, right?There are more ways to use it, and insurance for it is in front of you, so you can’t settle for it.

Most wing shooters retire due to death or similar accidents, and even wing shooters who didn’t do it 80% of the time experienced a crisis that was almost like that, but I have no reason to go through that.Once you enter the state where you can pull out the red sword in the awakening state, the reaction speed is completely different, so you can respond to the crisis one step faster.
Above all else, I have quite a lot of room for development in the future, so if I can pull out more threads later, even if an accident occurs, I will be able to prepare for it by making a cushion that can absorb the shock.
And it’s not just a thought, it will sooner or later.
“It has to be practiced in the future. I am a person with a plan.”
“Are you pampering me like you are now?”
“Otherwise, why would I call you?”
“He’s a real goal-sitter. You.”
“So, I will help you, I will tell you.”
“I have to. It looks like fun… If something happens, I can’t afford to be behind the scenes. I want to live comfortably for a long time. Even if you die, you must fight against the villains and die with honor. I don’t want to die hated by buying a grudge from a decent person.”
“It will come out like that.”
“Okay, let’s practice again a few times.”
Did you practice hard after that?
No, I didn’t at all.
After sharing a few more words, the topic naturally moved to another side, and the topic that ended at the end became ‘We came to a fishing point, but let’s go fishing for a bit’.
