Chapter 155: Disappointing Arthur

"Arthur, they showed me your special training evaluation results. Although your X-Rounder adaptability is D, don't be discouraged. You are my son. As long as you have the blood of the Asuno family, there is nothing you can't do. I believe in you."

"Ding~"

Arthur's evaluation report was delivered to Fleet as soon as it came out. Due to the busy military affairs, Fleet could not comfort Arthur in person, so he left a message video.

Arthur didn't know how many times he had watched this. He could hear Fleet's comfort and encouragement to him, but for some reason, the more he heard this passage, the more ironic he felt.

"Obviously...Obviously you are also an X-Rounder ability user..."

"Ding~"

The closed door of the room opened, and Yang Hui turned on the light by the way, illuminating the dim room.

"Who!? Uncle Yang Hui..." Arthur turned around in surprise. He remembered that he had locked the door, but when he saw that it was Yang Hui, he lowered his head.

"Follow me." Yang Hui did not comfort or encourage Arthur, and said directly.

"Eh? Where are you going?"

"Just follow me."

Seeing Yang Hui turn around and leave, Arthur quickly took his uniform and followed Yang Hui's footsteps. In a puzzled state of mind, he came all the way to the hangar.

"Uncle, what are we doing here?"

Yang Hui still did not answer Arthur, but found Dick and the maintenance director of the [Tianren] Brigade.

"Are you ready?" Yang Hui asked the two.

"Ready, but brother Yang Hui, do you really want to do this?" Dick worried.

Different from the original plot, where Wolf took Arthur to Madona Workshop to use a special simulation cabin to let him vent, he directly fought with real machines, letting Graham be Arthur's opponent.

Dick's worry was also justified. After all, on the eve of the war, it was unknown when the VEGAN army would attack. If it came during the venting process, the machine would not be able to maintain the best condition to participate in the battle.

"No problem, Graham knows the limits. I will take the responsibility if something goes wrong."

The reason why Yang Hui dared to do this was, first, he got the first-hand information from the Intelligence Department. It would take at least 3 days for VEGAN's army to reach the [Giant Ring] base. Second, he had confidence in Graham. Even if he was attacked by VEGAN during the venting process, he was able to bring Arthur back safely.

"Okay, I know." Dick spread his hands, knowing that he could not change Yang Hui's decision, so he stepped aside.

As for the maintenance director of the [Celestial] Battalion, he had no objection from the beginning, because Yang Hui's orders were more effective for them than Fleet's orders.

After confirming that the preparations were correct, Yang Hui said directly to Arthur: "Change into the driving suit and drive the Gundam AGE-2 to attack."

"Huh? Attack? Why? Is there an enemy..."

"Just do what I say."

"Oh..."

Arthur drove the Gundam AGE-2 to attack in confusion, and went to the designated space area according to Yang Hui's instructions. As a result, he saw that the Flag Gundam had been waiting for him there.

"Flag Gundam? Uncle Graham! What's he doing? Is he going to carry out a secret mission?" Arthur thought, and was a little excited. Being able to carry out a secret mission with Graham was a recognition of him, but Arthur thought that his X-Rounder adaptability was D, and he doubted whether he was really qualified to carry out such a mission.

But soon, this complicated emotion was interrupted by Yang Hui.

"Arthur."

"Uncle... Lieutenant General, please give the order."

"Good answer, your mission is to defeat Graham."

"Yes!... Eh!? Wait, what's going on?" Arthur answered excitedly subconsciously, but soon found something wrong, and then he was dumbfounded.

"What? Didn't you hear clearly? Repeat, your mission is to defeat Graham."

"But..."

"Sergeant Asum Ashinano (sergeant), execute the order!"

"...Yes!"

Arthur couldn't figure out what was going on, but Yang Hui gave him an order as a superior, and as a soldier, he had to execute it, but...

The Flag Gundam was right in front of the Gundam AGE-2, with its arms folded, without any movement, as if waiting for the Gundam AGE-2 to take action first, but Arthur didn't want to take action, let alone dare to take action.

Graham was also an elder that Arthur respected. The battle scenes between Graham and VEGAN flashed through Arthur's mind from time to time. The incomparable strength made him see no hope of victory at all.

At this time, the Flag Gundam connected to the communication with the Gundam AGE-2: "What's wrong? How long do you plan to make me wait?"

"But..."

"Are you scared?"

"No..."

"If you are scared, run away. Go back and apply for retirement. Woluf will sign it for you."

"I... I won't run away!"

"Then do it!"

"I... I..." Arthur was in a dilemma. He still didn't understand what was going on. Why Yang Hui ordered him to fight Graham. Although he was a little excited, he was more afraid.

That's right, he was afraid. Although Arthur said it with confidence, his hands were shaking at this time. He couldn't hold the joystick tightly. Even if the Flag Gundam didn't do anything, an invisible sense of oppression was always pressing on his shoulders, which could crush him at any time.

"Are you really still afraid? Don't you dare to fight once you fail? Don't you even have the courage to take action when facing the enemy? Asem!"

"I'm not! I didn't!"

"Then let me see where your courage lies!"

"I……"

"I'm very disappointed in you, Asem, we are all very disappointed in you. If you can't do it, we'd better go home as soon as possible..."

"I'm not afraid! Ah~!"

Under Graham's verbal oppression, Asem's inner grievance and unwillingness finally broke out. He could endure it without the X-Rounder ability, and he could endure losing to Gerhard, but he couldn't endure it when Yang Hui and the others faced him. Disappoint yourself.

The fire behind Gundam AGE-2 exploded, and it rushed towards the Flag Gundam at the fastest speed. The two guns in his hands did not lock on the Flag Gundam before firing one after another, as if what was shot out was not the energy, but the unwillingness in Asem's heart. and grievance.

Flag Gundam still crossed his arms, dodging left and right, avoiding the attack of Gundam AGE-2. When the opponents were approaching the front door and drawing their swords at each other, Flag Gundam still had no intention of letting go of his hands.

"Ah~!!"

Facing the menacing Asem, Graham grinned. His movements at this time were exactly the same as the Flag Gundam. He did not control the Flag Gundam at all. He kept his hands away from the joystick and hugged his chest, leaving all the control to Ha. Luo.

"Hello, unfold the floating sword and play with Asem."

"Understood~understood~"

Harrow has been reprogrammed by Yang Hui. Although Harrow is not as powerful as Harrow in the Gundam OO world, he can already handle some basic operations, such as...

The floating sword fell off from the shoulder armor and skirt of the flag, and turned into a fish like water, swimming happily in the vast ocean of the universe.

"This is! Damn it..."

The fish-like floating swords with scarlet edges surrounded Gundam AGE-2 from all directions, forcing Yasem to pull the joystick in reverse, stop the assault, and protect himself with the shields on both sides. .

"Dangdangdangdang..."

Sparks flew everywhere. Under the protection of the two-wing shields, Gundam AGE-2 did not suffer much damage, but the huge impact and violent vibration still caused Asem considerable pain.

"Hmm~! Uncle Graham...is serious!" After the machine stabilized, Asem's back was soaked with cold sweat. If it weren't for the protection of the shield, the floating sword just now would directly hit the Gundam AGE-2. destroy.

"What's wrong? Isn't this okay?" Graham's sarcasm came from the communication channel.

"My...uncle, you..."

"Go on!"

"But……"

"If you don't do it, I will force you to do it!"

The floating sword struck again, and Graham also held his hands on the joystick, piloting the Flag Gundam to attack Gundam AGE-2 together.

"Damn it! I don't understand, but I won't let you go! Haha~!"

The Flag Gundam had already launched an attack surrounded by floating swords. Yasem didn't think about Graham's intentions anymore and immediately drove the Gundam AGE-2 to meet it. The most important thing now is to survive from Graham's hands. .

Under Graham's pressure, Asem also burst out with a strong will to survive. When the floating swords rushed towards him, the Gundam AGE-2's twin swords struck down hard, directly cutting off the two floating swords and killing his head. The beam Vulcan cannon at the base fired one after another, hitting another floating sword, and then collided with the Flag Gundam.

If compared with the special training data, Asam's various data have improved again, and for a while he was able to compete with Flag Gundam.

In the second command room of the [Giant Ring] base, Yang Hui, Yulin and Wolf watched intently as the two Gundams collided back and forth on the screen.

"How's the data?" Yang Hui asked.

"There is a significant increase in all data."

"What about X-Rounder adaptability?"

"no change."

"Continue recording data."

"yes!"

"Sure enough, the son of a monster is still a monster? He is not at the level of a recruit." Woruf glanced at the growth rate of the data and shrugged self-deprecatingly. At this time, Asem's performance was just "excellent" and it was no longer enough. To describe it, it was completely amazing. In a single-player duel with the Flag Gundam, he could also cut down the floating sword. This was something that even he couldn't do. Although this state was not normal, and... Graham was released into the sea.

"He has been taught so many things since childhood. If he is still the same as an ordinary recruit, he deserves to be beaten." Yang Hui cursed angrily.

"But is it really okay for you to push him like this? Sometimes if you push him too hard, the string in your mind can easily break." Woruf worried.

"Asem's potential is more than that. Except for the first half of the defense of Tordia, the subsequent battles did not put much pressure on him to stimulate his potential."

"But... forget it, anyway, you won't see anything wrong with Asem."

Of course, Wolfu also knew that Asem needed encouragement and even more venting. Originally, he planned to take Asem to the Madonna workshop to play, but Yang Hui directly let Asem and Graham face off in real life, which was more effective. Well, it allows Yasem to experience the gap between him and the real masters, and to feel the oppression of life and death more truly.
