“Target number one defeated!”
“Target number two defeated!”
“Target number three defeated!”
“Confirmation of annihilation of all targets, mission accomplished!”
Accompanied by the sounds of electronic reports ringing out one after another, the simulation test finally came to an end.
The technician of the NERV Germany Hamburg Branch standing on the side nodded in satisfaction:
“Simulation test concluded, very good, Shikinami, your score is quite outstanding.”
At this time, a girl wearing a red tight-fitting combat suit was seen crawling out of the cockpit.
Although it was also simulation training, compared to Ikari Shinji who had not even started, this girl was obviously much more seasoned—after all, she had fought a hundred battles in the simulator.
She skillfully took what the staff handed her; it was a soft bamboo fiber towel, its biggest advantage being excellent water absorbency.
Shikinami Asuka Langley, she is the exclusive pilot of a red giant humanoid mech, and that red mech is EVA Unit-02.
In the Germany Branch, she is called the Second Child.
The girl grew up in the United States, but carries three-quarters German and one-quarter Japanese blood.
Moreover, she is a child prodigy who graduated from university at fourteen, proficient in Japanese, German, and English.
She speaks Japanese quite fluently, but is not very good at reading and writing Japanese kanji.
Just like how she has always been confident that she is the most excellent EVA pilot, but today she found out she might not be as good at this as she imagined either.
The underground base was as usual, the loudspeakers reminding the staff not to neglect any procedures.
The combat commander of the Hamburg Branch is a Senior Colonel with half Germanic blood.
He watched a group of staff members walk up to the girl.
“The synchronization rate stabilized at 333% during the first time piloting the EVA, developed a laser attack tactic that no one has ever achieved before, and it took a total of three minutes and thirty-three seconds from adapting to the mech to defeating the Water Angel.
This is the combat performance of the Third Child…”
The bald-headed Senior Colonel with a small mustache muttered to himself.
His deputy, holding a laptop, walked straight up to Asuka and placed it on the long table in front of the girl.
“This is the data uploaded to the system by the Japan Headquarters, you might want to take a look, I have to say it is truly astonishing.” You are reading on novelping.com, the official source.
“The Third Child!?”
Asuka, who was wiping her wet golden-brown long hair, blanked for a moment.
Upon hearing this title, she couldn’t help but stop her actions and pulled the laptop in front of her.
Looking at the combat commander’s old face, as solemn as a sculpture and so stern it seemed to freeze the surrounding air, Asuka’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.
She realized that the marvel in the Senior Colonel’s mouth was not a joke, and ignoring whether her hair was dry or not, she quickly started typing on the computer keyboard in front of her.
Following a series of sounds produced by her fingers dancing rapidly across the keyboard, rows of densely packed data flashed before Asuka’s eyes…
The joy she had been immersed in from her excellent training results was instantly diluted by a lot, and her face even gradually became increasingly gloomy.
Facing the beautiful girl beside him who didn’t say a word, the tall and burly bald Senior Colonel not only didn’t mind, but actually felt quite smug, tirelessly praising:
“I have to admit, the Japan Headquarters has found an outstanding boy.”
Or rather, he was originally aiming to see this expression.
His cultivation concept had always been that there is motivation only when there is competition; the former Empire briefly achieved brilliance under pressure.
But this branch had no one who could compete with the girl.
The proud girl would never easily accept the result of someone else being stronger than her, and he was like the teacher in school who always tells the students “You are the worst class I have ever taught.”
This subtly wicked feeling even made him want to laugh, but he still maintained the seriousness and decency traditional to the Germanic people.
“He is currently recognized as the most outstanding pilot, such dazzling battle records have driven the various branches crazy with arguments.
It is hard to imagine that such a formidable figure is actually a newcomer who has never received any professional training, simply a miraculous boy!” The bald Senior Colonel sighed repeatedly.
“How outstanding can a guy who doesn’t even know how to fight be?
Isn’t it just taking down an Angel?
I just haven’t run into one yet!”
Asuka angrily stood up, and forcefully slapped her palm on the table, making a loud “bang” sound, and shouted indignantly:
“If I encounter an Angel, I can win just the same, I won’t be any worse than him!”
Facing Asuka’s rebuttal and declaration of victory, the corners of the Senior Colonel’s mouth rose slightly, revealing an old face with a faint smile, and then he responded slowly:
“Then you will have to work hard, after all, he had zero experience before participating in the battle against the Fourth Angel, and only started his first training today.
Asuka looked directly into the Senior Colonel’s eyes: “Just wait and see that rookie get stepped under my feet!”
…
“It is said that the qualified child at the Hamburg Branch is a child with a very strong desire to win.” Akagi Ritsuko said, joining the topic while adjusting the console.
“So you are saying I haven’t even gone abroad yet, but I might have already been targeted by an unknown foreign girl?” Ikari Shinji sat in the cockpit.
“If you want to go to Europe, I’ll save up money and take you to play after I pay off my loan.
Also, she has a name, it’s Shikinami Asuka Langley.” Katsuragi Misato said.
“I heard she is a beautiful girl!
But anyway, focus on training for me right now, don’t get distracted.”
Asuka?
Hmm…
Ikari Shinji tried hard to recall this name, but his mind was only completely blank.
This might be a very important character, but Ikari Shinji couldn’t remember such a person at all.
After all, his transmigration happened over a decade ago, and before transmigrating, he had only seen a short video.
For Ikari Shinji to remember his mission of becoming a god and that Ikari Gendou was an animal, was already an amazing memory.
Just at this moment, a crisp mechanical electronic voice rang out: [Simulation program activated.]
Immediately after came a brief pause, and then an unusually strong vibration transmitted over, as if countless metal blocks were crashing and squeezing against each other.
This strange sound filled the entire cockpit.
Beside Ikari Shinji’s feet, biological-like red lines had unknowingly popped out.
These lines divided the internal space into grids, spreading rapidly like living creatures, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the cockpit.
The mysterious red lines began to weave and combine rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a brand new city rose up—Tokyo-3 was presented before his eyes.
The external view scene of the cockpit underwent an earth-shaking change, becoming an extremely realistic virtual picture almost identical to the real world.
And directly in front of Ikari Shinji, three virtual Angels created based on the Water Angel impressively appeared.
Perhaps because the great geniuses in the technology department had high hopes for Ikari Shinji, after three virtual Angels had already appeared, another three identical virtual Angels were generated right after.
As many enemies as you want, this is the power of technology.
Of course, the power of technology currently only provides experience points, not head bounty rewards.
