I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future. - Chapter 35

The training goal for the first two days of the training camp was to get the mecha adapted to the operation of the new system.

On the third day, they would start training the squad-based mecha formation. They had to get used to 65 basic formations and 175 variation formations based on the combination of the basic formations within 60 days. Only by doing so could they be said to have mastered the arrangement and combat methods under the new system.

There were also many detached formations and transformation combinations at the next level, depending on the weather and environmental conditions. This might require years of training to be familiar with. After all, not all of them could be mastered overnight in the training camp.

For now, the main priority was training in the forest environment. The terrain around the Federation was dominated by forests, with snow-capped woodlands, subtropical jungles, and tropical forests forming a continuum of dense vegetation.

Keiko was driving her mecha, following the route directed by the new system, when suddenly a communication came from the private channel; it was from Seol-Hyun Ae again. The reason for saying “again” was naturally because Seol-Hyun Ae often chatted with Keiko on a private channel during training.

Seol-Hyun said that she shouldn’t worry about it, but Keiko still didn’t feel comfortable using the private channel for a casual chat because people with higher authority than them knew that they were chatting privately, and if they wanted to, they could hear what they talked about.

Keiko sighed and reluctantly answered.

“What’s wrong?”

“Hey, Keiko-chan, how are you? Are you alright?”

“…What could I do?” After hearing her question, Keiko was even more depressed.

“Is that girl under your care all right? Why did you also get punished?”

“I am her leader. She made a mistake because of my improper command. It’s normal to be punished for it,” Keiko said.

“Hey Keiko-chan,” Seol-Hyun Ae’s voice became cautious, “are you having a little quarrel with Major Jeanne?” But under such circumstances, her caution was of no use at all.

Keiko was speechless for a moment, and then said, “I’m hanging up.”

“Hey!” Before Seol-Hyun Ae could react, Keiko quickly cut off the call between the two.

Things started in the afternoon two days ago. After the unpleasant lunch between Keiko and Jeanne that day, Keiko immediately got the taste of the consequences of offending the Black Queen during the afternoon training.

First, Jeanne kept setting small traps for Keiko to jump into, such as deliberately rewriting Keiko’s navigation program in real-time to make her deviate from the supposed direction.

Because it was a virtual system, she didn’t worry about Keiko’s life was in danger, so she had no scruple about messing up with Keiko.

Fortunately, Keiko was adaptable and highly focused and didn’t rely too much on the system, so in the end, she managed to get away safely.

However, because of the misguided by the tampered system, she hesitated at the critical moment and her reaction was always one step late. Those accidents aroused the dissatisfaction of Lieutenant Lu Diyun. At the end of the training in the afternoon, when the summary meeting was held in the evening, Lu Diyun criticized her.

“Keiko, it seems that your mecha piloting level has regressed a lot recently. You know, for an adjutant or other personnel like you, this level of skill isn’t acceptable. You couldn’t relax. You need to make time to practice more.”

Keiko could only swallow her grievance silently.

By the next morning, the officers and their soldiers logged on to the platform and began to familiarize themselves with the new system in a formal formation.

As a new officer, Keiko was getting to know the soldiers under her wing for the first time. There were five hundred people in total, and getting familiar with all of them surely wouldn’t happen in just one or two days. Keiko could only do her best.

When she was browsing through the information for her squadron, she saw a familiar figure.

When she rushed back to the main city-state from the Sleipnir Field Base, a little girl was sitting opposite her, in the backseat of an armored vehicle. If she didn’t remember it wrong, she was Connie, a mecha brigade corporal who originally belonged to the right-wing squadron.

Due to the failure of the “Mistletoe” escort mission, a lot of Third Squadron’s troops were lost, and major personnel adjustments were also carried out internally.

The left and right wings exchanged a lot of soldiers, and Connie, as a mecha brigade reserve corporal, performed well in the sudden and violent encounter with the Furious Earth Dragon and thus made great achievements.

Now that she had been promoted to the official mecha pilot, she was transferred to the left-wing as the leader of the ten-man battle group to supplement the lack of non-commissioned officers on the left-wing squadron, with Keiko as her immediate superior.

Keiko had a very good impression of this little girl. During training, she deliberately opened a separate chat channel and chatted with her briefly. With the favor of the Goddess of War in her mind, Connie was so excited that she couldn’t even speak coherently.

Keiko thought she was very cute, just like her little sister who lived in a large courtyard with her, who always followed her closely like a duckling following a hen. Seeing this, Keiko felt a little bit melancholic.

Connie was newly transferred to the left-wing without any acquaintances, so Keiko was a little bit worried that she would be lonely. When she had lunch in the soldier’s cafeteria at noon, Keiko also joined Connie’s ten-person group, and of course, it wasn’t just Connie but also her other colleagues from the right-wing. Leading troops was an art, and Keiko still had some experience in this regard.

However, for some unknown reason, the things she did became extremely unpleasant in the eyes of a certain eldest lady.

Keiko’s every move was under the surveillance of Jeanne. In order to make Keiko spit out the information she wanted to get, the eldest lady also worked hard, paying attention to Keiko’s news almost all the time. She practically became a stalker at this point.

Seeing that Keiko and the soldiers under her command were happily chatting with each other while having lunch, Jeanne, who was in the monitoring room, sneered, “Okay just wait Keiko, I’ve been lenient to you this morning and you actually have the time to flirt with that white rabbit? You really want to suffer badly.”
