“Eek!!” After fighting for over twenty rounds, Fuyuki accidentally let Gavial catch an opening.
Gavial’s iron tail struck Fuyuki hard.
Fuyuki was sent flying backward, completely losing her balance.
Fortunately, she didn’t fall down; otherwise, an impact like that would have caused some minor injuries.
*Thud!* The air in the training room suddenly became scorching hot as a figure appeared behind Fuyuki just in time.
Blaze, who had been watching from the sidelines, caught Fuyuki steadily.
“Gavial, you went too heavy.” After a slight reprimand, Blaze set Fuyuki down.
“I’m okay now, thank you.” After patting the dust off her clothes, Fuyuki hurried to thank Blaze.
Although there was still a slight dull pain in her abdomen where she was hit, it was indeed mostly fine; she would be okay after resting for a while.
“Sorry, sorry!
I got too excited during the fight just now and didn’t hold back in time!” Gavial also grabbed her staff, which she had tossed aside before the sparring session, and rushed over.
After a soothing, translucent green light flashed from the staff, Fuyuki felt herself get much better all at once.
Fuyuki looked at Gavial with a slightly strange expression.
“…You really are a doctor?” Having gotten to know each other through the fight, Fuyuki was no longer as constrained or overly polite when talking to Gavial.
“Of course, why would I lie to you!” Gavial observed Fuyuki carefully, then squeezed her here and there to confirm she hadn’t sustained any injuries before finally relaxing.
“PRTS, turn up the air conditioning power!
It’s too hot!” After Gavial shouted at the training room, the training room’s AC fans immediately began to run at full power.
The heatwave ignited by Blaze just now finally began to gradually subside.
“Phew…
Blaze’s Originium Arts are much hotter than the Sargon rainforests.” Gavial wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Seeing Fuyuki’s somewhat confused expression, she explained, “PRTS is Rhodes Island’s terminal system.
You can basically find PRTS in any functional space within the Rhodes Island ship.
If you need anything, just say it.” …Quite advanced.
That was the only evaluation Fuyuki could give.
Anyway, she had truly never seen such a thing before.
However, she still had to ask about the main business.
“So, does this mean I passed the combat test?” “There’s no more ‘passing’ or ‘not passing.’ When that girl Gavial decided to use her full strength—at least, her full strength for a real combat environment like just now—to spar with you, it stopped having much to do with a test.” Before Gavial could reply, Blaze, who was on the side, interrupted directly.
It was true that Gavial had been heavy-handed.
But looking at it another way, how many ordinary Operators in Rhodes Island could ignite such fighting spirit in Gavial?
This wasn’t to say other Operators weren’t capable; on Rhodes Island, Operators who excelled in combat would be considered experts capable of taking on ten men elsewhere.
It was just that on this ship, in terms of raw combat power alone, there were many freaks.
Gavial was one, but she wasn’t even among the very top tier of Operators.
However, Fuyuki’s flaws were also very clearly exposed.
“While you have some cleverness, your overall tactical planning is honestly a bit too poor.
If you were dropped onto a battlefield, it would be truly dangerous…
With the abilities you’ve shown, you could clearly have gained a better advantage.
Fuyuki, what did you do before this?” —When it came to her flaws, even the seemingly boisterous Blaze put on a serious face.
However, such strictness was necessary.
Rhodes Island hadn’t been established for long, but the number of Operators KIA…
was not small.
As an Elite Operator, Blaze had seen too many partings.
Her subconscious strictness was because she didn’t want to experience any more of them.
“Uh…
a street hoodlum, occasionally helping out with odd jobs and such?” Fuyuki scratched her face and said somewhat uneasily.
“…Then you might need to attend classes properly.” “Well then, Blaze, why don’t you fill out Fuyuki’s test results?
You’ve been watching for so long, you can’t have watched for nothing!” Gavial laughed.
And Blaze indeed had the qualifications to do so.
“Next time, once you’ve rested up, it’ll be time to spar with me!” Words aside, the strength Fuyuki had displayed undoubtedly made her a piece of unpolished jade that just needed some refining.
Blaze was also full of fighting spirit…
*Scribble, scribble…* Blaze took a pen and paper and filled in the final evaluation results and some comments on the form.
[Physical Strength: Excellent] — Truly possesses the ability to clash head-on with Gavial.
[Battlefield Mobility: Excellent] — Movement is relatively swift, and with the assistance of Originium Arts, mobility can be further enhanced.
There is even potential to develop this into improving the mobility of group operations.
[Physiological Endurance: Excellent] — Able to take a direct, undefended hit from Gavial’s iron tail and remain mostly unharmed.
[Tactical Planning: Normal] — Actually, the evaluation shouldn’t be this low, but Operator Fuyuki has not received corresponding systematic education.
Currently, she relies solely on her own thinking for subjective planning, which has many flaws.
However, Fuyuki grasps her opponent’s psychology quite accurately and utilizes it in her combat performance.
Currently not recommended for field missions without a commanding member.
After further study, Fuyuki’s abilities should allow her to quickly improve to a higher level.
[Combat Skill: Standard] — Her technique of releasing Originium Arts rapidly in coordination is eye-opening.
There is no doubt that Operator Fuyuki’s potential for improvement is immense.
However, her current techniques are relatively unrefined.
[Originium Arts Adaptability: Excellent] — Her technique for manipulating airflow is already quite skillful.
Perhaps Operator Fuyuki could pursue further studies in subjects related to her abilities.
[Potential Rating Level Recommendation: 5★ or 6★, please have Dr.
Kal’tsit make the final confirmation] [Comprehensive Evaluation: Field Operator test passed.
Operator Fuyuki only needs to make up for some basic knowledge to grow into a quite excellent Operator.] “Alright!
The rest is just submitting this to Dr.
Kal’tsit and we’re done.” Blaze put away the form she had just filled out and stood up, preparing to submit the relevant materials.
“Blaze, you really think highly of her!
Giving such a high star rating recommendation already?” Gavial curled her lip.
Blaze glanced at her.
“If you weren’t so set on being a Medical Operator, you’d probably be a 6★ too.” “Forget that.
Fighting once in a while is fun, but fighting all the time is boring.
Being a 4★ Medical Operator is just fine!” Gavial crossed her arms relaxedly.
Having just exercised, she was in a great mood and even started whistling.
However, star ratings were generally not made public, though the required clearance to see them wasn’t high, and they weren’t set in stone either.
They were merely an assessment reflecting an Operator’s current status.
There were even some 2★ Operators who were veterans with over a decade of combat experience; they were only rated 2★ because they rarely engaged in combat now for various reasons.
“Alright, it’s about time I head back to the Medical Department.
I’ve been gone too long, and my work isn’t finished yet!” After a deep stretch, Gavial also bid farewell to Fuyuki.
“Fuyuki, just wander around Rhodes Island as you like to get familiar with it.
Just pay attention to the broadcast notifications; someone will find you to handle the various detailed procedures later.” “By this point, your status as an Operator is basically confirmed.
PRTS should already recognize you.
Anyway, PRTS won’t open doors to places you aren’t allowed to go; if the door won’t open, just turn back—most areas are free to enter.” Fuyuki also wanted to get familiar with her new environment, so she nodded in agreement.
