Humanity's new weapon: part III
[4:45 AM, 02/06/318 D]
[D.4 M.S.O Special Hospital of the capital Iskander]
[R.14 Taisei Blue]
A silent room. On the bed that was in the center of the room, he was lying looking at the ceiling. A few minutes ago I had woken up, my mind was wandering. Today a combat test would be carried out with the new invention of the one they call "Professor".
Arlet told me everything that Agneta had told him about the new weapon that managed to hurt him.
----Taisei Blue— A weapon manipulated by those who are not resonant, with the ability to harm a resonant, seems like a joke.
Leaving the sheets behind, I proceeded to take a shower. I have no interest in what those scientists do, but I am especially curious to know what is in that man's head.
After a few minutes, I finish showering and start getting dressed; Footsteps are heard on the other side of the door, which stop right in front of the room. Before giving him time to knock I give him permission to enter.
----Liz Albert— Gosh, why do you always wake up so early and Arlet so late? Please, pass on some of that discipline of yours to that girl.
The beautiful lady who had entered the room is Liz Albert; She is in charge of cleaning and checking up on Arlet and me.
did not notice any hostility on her part towards us, and it is quite peculiar: she treats us very differently than the other managers treat her inmates.
----Taisei Blue— I have no power over what she does; Be a little nicer to her by waking her up. You're going to end up damaging her brain by shaking her back and forth so much.
I can see the pouty face she's making before she leaves the room, and then she immediately composes herself behind me.
As we walked through the halls, we talked about today's test.
----Liz Albert— Those chosen for the test this time are Adalgisa from room 312, and Adolfina from room 568.
"I see"
I said as she walked with both hands in her pockets; Many inmates were also heading to the testing wing, where the combat would take place. As we continued advancing towards our destination, we met the two protagonists of this combat and Miss Agneta.
Liz tilts her head in greeting to the girls, and they return the greeting. I can't help but let a smile appear when I see her, a caregiver who respects and cares for the inmates of this rotten place; Without realizing it, she has earned the affection of all the inmates.
----Agneta de Amara— Did Arlet tell you about the test?
----Taisei Blue— I still don't believe that a weapon like this exists, but that's why I'm going to the test. I see you a little worried. Do you think those two will be defeated?
Agneta smiled at my question and looked at the girls who were chatting with Liz.
----Agneta de Amara— No, they will be fine; There's one thing I left out yesterday: I didn't feel any "Novax" cores in that gun; It wasn't until I came into contact with it that I could feel a resonance coming from it; In my experience, it is at the level of a B+ rank weapon.
A B+ Rank weapon, B rank weapons or higher, are the only weapons capable of damaging a Resonant; However, these weapons are created from the cores of the defeated Novax, weapons that would be impossible for a normal person to wield, since they would weigh as much as a mountain. If the weapon's core does not detect any resonance in its user, you will not be able to use them.
We were on the second floor terrace to watch the fight. Adolfina and Adalgisa separated from us before arriving, to prepare.
Agneta and Liz were next to me looking at the test arena, 60m x 60m in diameter.
A completely clear area; The terraces are protected by glass reinforced with novax cores, as is the room from which that man observes.
He offers me a wave when he sees me on the terrace, and he continues giving orders to his subordinates.
----Taisei Blue— That bastard, if he is here it is because he fully trusts that his invention will work; He's not the type of person to show his face for anything.
The entrance to the east wing opens, allowing Adalgisa and Adolfina to enter the testing arena. They are both in boarding school uniforms; Adolfina carries a sword sheathed at her waist, while Adalgisa carries her "Hecate II" rifle.
----Taisei Blue— A short-range and a long-range combatant make a good duo.
Agneta who was next to me responded to my statement with her chest puffed out with pride.
----Agneta de Amara— They are! They are used to fighting together; I haven't been able to see them in action for a long time; This is a great opportunity.
Agneta seemed happy to see them together; I understand that the three were caught together, so it doesn't seem like anything special to me that I'm so happy to see them together in a battle cape.
However, the west door opens, through which a silhouette can be seen. At first glance it may look like a person, but that was a…
----Taisei Blue— An android?
The inmates who were watching seemed surprised by the android, but it was not because of its appearance, but rather
----Agneta de Amara— Can you feel it, Tai?
He didn't need to ask me. Any resonant, no matter how mediocre, could feel that terrible resonance that seemed to want to swallow the entire place with the fierce aura of it.
----Taisei Blue— This may not be as easy as expected.
Before he can continue, the ground beneath the android's feet cracks and spreads from the pressure generated. His speed was incredible; the target of his attack was Adalgisa, who is slow to react to the attack; However, the android's attack is interrupted by Adolfina's intervention, stopping the blade of the weapon with her sword still in its sheath.
----Adolfina Erisoire— Dalgi, take distance to fight; I'm in charge of hand-to-hand combat.
Adolfina's body seems to tense up and she kicks the android's belly, which shoots out, recovering itself in the air and landing on her feet.
----Adolfina Erisoire— I didn't think it would be like this; my hand is numb; I was too relaxed; Until now I thought that what Agneta said was just a joke, but now I see that it is not. Let's see how much you can keep up.
Adolfina takes up her sword and takes it out of its sheath; The android wastes no time and begins his assault again; With the same speed as before, he launches himself at Adolfina, launching multiple attacks with the blade that grew from his forearms.
Adolfina held back his sword attacks, while counterattacked. At the same time, the sound of metal colliding with each other filled the arena, and the inmates became excited at the combat in front of them.
The android jumps to hit a downward attack, which Adolfina evades with great agility, landing a strong kick to the side of the abdomen.
The android is thrown from the blow, crashing against the wall of the room.
Adolfina releases a sigh after her attack and looks in the direction where the android flew. Everything seemed to indicate that the android had been surpassed by her, however, a shadow was seen behind her; Adolfina notices it, but it's too late to react.
The sound of a gunshot is heard, and what appeared to be a shadow was actually another android, which had now been split in two from her waist by Adalgisa's shot.
Adalgisa, forming a circle with her index finger and thumb, smiles mockingly at Adolfina.
The researchers in the observation room were stunned by the young Adalgisa's shooting power. On the other hand, the one they called "Professor" did not seem to stop observing the testing arena, the others understanding that the test was not over yet.
----Adolfina Erisoire— Why didn't you tell me before that I had one on my back?
----Adalgisa de Adalia— You only told me to keep my distance, You didn't tell me anything about letting you know if you had someone behind you.
Adolfina and Adalgisa were arguing over the fact that Adalgisa had not warned her that she had an enemy behind her.
However, their argument is intervened while Adolfina watches as Adalgisa is thrown away by a blow from her right hand side. Quickly, Adolfina takes position to block the second attack, which makes her retreat due to its great force.
From among the rubble formed by the wall he crashed into after being attacked, Adalgisa saw Adolfina frantically fighting the new android, which, unlike the previous two, seemed to fight with its fists and legs.
----Adalgisa de Adalia— *Ugh* that blow broke a few of my ribs *Cough* *Cough*
Adalgisa coughs up blood and with great effort picks up her rifle that was on the ground next to her.
----Adalgisa de Adalia— The first was a sword fighter, the second a shadow-moving assassin, and this one is a martial artist. So that means.
Adolfina was deflecting her opponent's attacks with her sword, which was receiving great damage from the increasingly stronger and heavier impacts.
The speed of his blows seemed to be increasing, causing some to begin to hit, causing Adolfina great pain. A punch is thrown by the android and Adolfina manages to stop it with his sword. Spinning over her opponent, she tries to land another kick like before, but he catches her leg in the air and throws her to the ground.
----Agneta de Amara— *Laughs* Those androids aren't doing bad at all: they're putting those two in trouble.
Agneta, who was next to me, had a big smile on her face; It seemed like she was enjoying the fight, while the rest of the inmates seemed to have lost their spirits, which was normal.
For them who did not know these two, it seemed that they no longer had anything to do, causing terror in them, since these androids are only tests, which means that, after each update, others will be forced to face it.
The android appears to shift its focus away from Adolfina, and now directs his attention to Adalgisa, a rock crashing into the android's head. Standing there in the middle of the dust, which is beginning to dissipate, is Adolfina with her sword in hand and a smile on her face.
----Adolfina Erisoire— *Sigh* That relaxed my neck; Dalgi, I entrust you with the one that hides in the heights; This piece of dented tin is mine.
Adalgisa just huffs half-heartedly, giving him the ok sign with her hand. Taking a position with one knee on the ground and the other using it as a support for his arm, he directs his sights towards the shadows of the roof pillars, where upon seeing a slight movement, his enemy moves at incredible speed through the shadow; However, Adalgisa destroys her head with a single shot. Relieved, she takes a seat on the ground and watches her partner, who is about to start their fight.
----Taisei Blue— Wow, every attack from Adalgisa is lethal, although I can see that taking a toll on her weapon.
----Agneta de Amara— The attack power of her shots is impressive, but she currently does not have a weapon capable of supporting it, since she is very fond of that weapon and does not want to change it. If she did, his level wouldn't just be S-rank.
The combat between the android and Adolfina resumed, this time the android could not keep up with Adolfina, who attacked with fast and precise attacks. The android deflected the attacks with difficulty, until one of his arms could not withstand the pressure and was cut by the edge of the sword.
With her sword on its last, Adolfina wields it with both hands, which until now she had always wielded with one hand, slashing the android vertically from top to bottom with a downward attack, finishing off the fourth android.
The room remains silent after the last android falls, and then the inmates' celebration can be heard. With whistles and applause, they celebrate the victory of their companions, but when I look at the observation room where that man was, our eyes meeting, a bad feeling invades me.
With a shout my attention is returned to the rest of the inmates in the room, who are watching in the direction of the sand.
Seeing the sand, a gas is released, Adalgisa and Adolfina begin to fall to the ground on their knees, as if they had lost all their strength.
When I look back at the observation room, that man was no longer there, so with no other options...
----Taisei Blue— Agneta! Smash that crystal!
----Agneta de Amara— At your command!
Agneta's arm shakes and with a strong punch she shatters the glass reinforced with Novax cores.
----Agneta de Amara— Leave the guards to me, I'll entrust the girls to you; Liz, stay behind me.
While Agneta took care of the guards, I jumped towards the sand where the gas was. While in the sand, I see Adalgisa and Adolfina, who are weakened next to the exit.
----Taisei Blue— This gas. It's just like those shackles they used to hold me, although since Arlet and I can communicate, these things no longer have an effect on me.
I head towards the girls, where, from the poor visibility due to the gas, I can see some moving silhouettes, which surround me.
The guards are no match for Agneta; They are all taken down with ease, to which Liz seems greatly surprised.
----Liz Albert— Wow. Why are you still here if you can take care of them so easily?
Liz asks curiously, to which Agneta only responds, that she is in the facility only for work, while she grabs two guards and throws them into the hole where the crystal used to be.
----Agneta de Amara— Hey, Liz, can you guide the other inmates to a safe place; I'm about to get a little rough.
Agneta said while massaging her left shoulder; The inmates responded to Liz's call and, following her instructions, accompanied her, while Agneta took charge of the guards and I took charge of saving Adolfina and Adalgisa.
Both were weak in front of the door; the gas had taken away their energy. They tried to open the door, but it was stuck. For normal girls, it would be easy to tear it down, however, in its current state, that is impossible.
Adolfina laughs at the situation, while Adalgisa just looks at her with displeasure.
----Adolfina Erisoire— Those miserable people played it well for us.
As she said that, the door in front of them is torn from its place after the crash of an android's body. They turn towards the gas from which I emerge, leaving behind the remains of a group of androids that had been released to finish them off.
----Taisei Genpou— Yo! They are fine?
They both seem incredulous at what they were seeing, but they react in unison.
"¡¡¿Tai?!!"
