I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future. - Chapter 36

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Jeanne repeated the old tricks and tinkled with Connie’s system, so Connie unknowingly led her team to deviate from the route, causing Keiko’s team to fail to return in time.

No one would have imagined that the prodigious Miss Jeanne would actually target a small soldier like Connie. And Connie, without any precautions in advance, plus some over-reliance on the system, would be easily misled by the tampered system.

Lieutenant Lu Diyun was very angry and severely criticized Connie for making such a low-level mistake. Keiko and Antonio weren’t spared either, as the leader of the team, Keiko, did not notice that the soldiers under her command were deviating from the route and did not correct the mistakes in time, so they got more severely reprimanded.

In fact, Keiko’s GPS system was blocked by Jeanne, and she had no way of determining where the soldiers under her command were, nor did she know that Connie’s team had gone astray.

Connie’s team was under Antonio’s command. Antonio’s GPS was also blocked, and he didn’t feel anything wrong either.

As a result, that night, Keiko, Antonio, and Connie’s ten-member team all stayed behind to train for three hours.

Connie shed tears of guilt and apologized loudly to Keiko and Antonio with a sullen face and a weeping voice.

“Second lieutenant, sergeant, I have implicated you because of my low-level mistake. I’m so sorry!”

Antonio, being a gentleman, comforted the little girl for a long time.

Keiko stood silently by the side with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that, because of herself, this kind little girl was wrongly punished.

Keiko felt irritated and angry. It was still okay if Jeanne targeted her alone, but just now she had already involved an innocent party. She felt Jeanne had gone too far this time.

However, she was still cool-headed and didn’t recklessly confront Jeanne head-on and fell into the pit that Jeanne had dug for her.

She had to think of a good way to prevent Jeanne from causing more trouble carefully.

Jeanne was very clean and secretive in her actions, so the rest of the people basically didn’t realize that she was doing something to Keiko’s team. Only the sensitive Seol-Hyun Ae noticed something was wrong.

Having personally seen the black-belly of Miss Jeanne in action, Seol-Hyun Ae was convinced that the trouble experienced by Keiko’s team had something to do with her. In the past two days, Keiko and her team often made low-level mistakes, and the mistakes were always related to each other. It was really abnormal.

The only way this could happen was if there was something wrong with the new system, so Seol-Hyun Ae has some guesses and thinks that it might be Jeanne, the creator of the new system, who was doing things in secret.

With this reasoning, she was convinced that Keiko and Jeanne might have a beef with each other.

In order to ask Keiko for confirmation, she opened a private chat channel to contact Keiko.

She did it on purpose as a small test. First, she did it to see Keiko’s reaction, and second, she did it to probe if Jeanne was indeed monitoring their conversation.

But to her surprise, although Keiko had vaguely confirmed her guess, Jeanne actually didn’t do anything to her, and this morning’s training passed smoothly.

In the afternoon of the last day of the virtual mecha training, the entire squadron would also receive physical combat training. The future training schedule would be virtual or real mecha training in the morning and physical combat training in the afternoon.

After three consecutive days of indoor training, Keiko finally returned to the familiar outdoor training ground.

Looking at the artificially created trenches, climbing walls, ropes, ground nets, single-plank bridges, and other familiar training tools, she almost shed a tear.

It had been a long time since she joined the army, and the memories of her training day resurfaced in her mind, and now she was back on the field again.

Jeanne, as the instructor of the new system, didn’t need to participate in the physical combat training, and the training itself was not guided by her, because she was not good at it.

Jeanne was a civilian officer. Although she also has superb mecha piloting skills, she was not good at fighting, especially for the difficult combat requirements of controlling mecha for close combat.

Everyone had their own talent, and obviously, Jeanne’s talent was not in this aspect.

Although she had a strong ability to react and control, she didn’t have the talent to coordinate these abilities, and it was difficult for her to make a precise prediction in a battle.

Moreover, because she was given a very high IQ, as a price, God deprived her of her physical ability.

Her physical ability was weaker than that of ordinary people. Whether it was strength or endurance, it did not meet the requirements of ordinary soldiers.

Fortunately, she was able to make up for it in shooting. Her marksmanship is still very accurate. Not many people know this, but she had a personal mecha that focused on long-range battles, so she didn’t need to make much movement.

However, to everybody’s surprise, during the physical combat training this afternoon, Jeanne actually appeared in the field, but she just stood by in the sideline and watched, and beside her, there was a young man wearing glasses.

It was the first time Keiko had seen this person. This man’s aquiline nose is very conspicuous, and the grey eyes hidden behind the glasses are very dark, and there is rarely a smile on his face.

Keiko recognized this person from the officer’s list of the Third Squadron. His name was Charlie Field, a British descendant, 32 years old, ranked lieutenant, on the military squadron commander’s staff. He was Captain Amanda’s staff adjutant.

Despite not having any soldiers directly under him, he held the power to make major decisions. He was practically one of the most powerful figures in the Third Squadron after Captain Amanda. As a training supervisor, he was equivalent to an instructor in the JSDF, and he often appeared on the training ground.

He did not participate in the Mistletoe mission back then because of a temporary business trip and did not return to the base until yesterday. It was the first time that Keiko had seen him with her own eyes.
