Episode 219 Joint class (3)
The day after Lois went to the library.
A full-fledged joint class began.
The goal of today’s class was ‘coordination’.
The process by which a dedicated technical mage adjusts Transcendence to suit the pilot’s physical, mental, and mana characteristics.
It was such an important process that it is said that the pilot’s ability to operate the transcendental aircraft varies several times depending on this coordination.
Although those who had just entered the lower class could not do this perfectly, they knew the basics as they were selected for the Transcendental Studies Center.
Therefore, the class progressed without difficulty.
A student in the control class opened the cockpit of the Transcendence Aircraft and entered.
A student from the technology class clings next to him and asks questions.
Similar scenes unfolded here and there in the joint class lecture hall.
“how is it? “Can you feel it?”
“hmm… “I’m not sure?”
However, the problem was that unlike the lower-level technical class, which had some experience and knowledge, the lower-level control class consisted mostly of people who had no knowledge of controlling the transcendental aircraft.
This phenomenon occurred because students were selected based on basic military skills rather than those who knew transcendental control techniques.
Therefore, an assistant from the technical class and an assistant from the control class were paired up and walked around giving students advice on tuning.
It was such a noisy situation due to class.
But there were some who were particularly quiet.
“… … .”
Sierra is standing with her arms crossed and leaning against the transcendental plane.
Sarah-.
Lois is far away from her and silently reading a book.
Article 33 was the main characters.
After the incident on the first day of joint class, the two still ignore each other.
Since they didn’t seem to have any intention of approaching each other first, it could perhaps be said to be a natural result.
In particular, Lois completely forgot about Sierra’s existence while reading the book she borrowed in the morning.
Sarak- Sarak-.
Lois’s face was very cautious as she turned the pages at a reasonable speed.
The title of the book he is looking at is ‘Life Habits of Subraces.’
It was the book William borrowed most recently.
Additionally, there were several more books piled up next to Lois.
Of course, those were also books borrowed from William’s rental list.
Saraksarak-.
The pages that were turning quickly stopped in one place.
Sze-.
Lois’ slender fingers lightly traced the folded and straightened traces.
“As expected, this too… … .”
Lois mumbled lightly and glanced at the books piled next to her.
‘All William has borrowed are books about sub-races and other races.’
Although the rental list occasionally included books of different types, more than 80% were about other races.
And after examining some of the books William had borrowed, Lois came to one conclusion.
‘William was investigating Victor.’
Traces of folding and opening the paper in the middle of the book remained in the table of contents of ‘Werewolf’.
‘It’s quite a famous story that the Grand Meister is not human… … .’
But you’re only investigating werewolves?
That piqued Lois’ curiosity.
William, who is not another Grand Meister but only gathers information about werewolves.
‘… ‘What he’s looking for is something related to Victor.’
widely-.
“hmm… … .”
Lois closed the book and rubbed her chin.
‘I don’t know what he’s looking for yet… … .’
The corner of his mouth curled up.
‘The direction has been taken.’
William entered the Transcendental Studies Hall.
The traces of Victor he is looking for.
In other words.
‘All I have to do is find something related to Victor in this Transcendental Studies building.’
That was enough.
When he smiles like that.
“Um, Lois… … .”
Shiba approached me with a quick glance.
Lois, who was already aware of his approach, responded in a sullen voice.
“why.”
“that… “Did you hear that?”
“what?”
Shiva whispered softly in Lois’ ear.
“There was a ghost in the library last night.”

Lois looked at Shiva with a puzzled look.
Shiva got angry at the look that seemed to tell him not to talk nonsense.
“It’s so salty! “Isn’t it true that the library guard fainted yesterday when he saw a ghost?”
“Tsk. “Where are the ghosts in the world?”
“Hey, it might be there, right?”
Lois’s eyes glowed sinisterly as she looked at him pale.
“why? scared?”
“W-are you scared? “Not at all!”
Contrary to his straight face, Shiva’s shoulders were shaking slightly as he held out his hand.
Lois asked, snickering at his unbecoming behavior.
“But why are you here? “Aren’t you going to your group?”
“ah? Coordination? “That’s all over.”
“… already?”
Lois looked at Shiva with slightly surprised eyes.
There are still many people here and there who cannot properly coordinate.
If you are a veteran skill mage, you can finish it in 30 minutes, but if you are just a junior skill mage, it will take 2-3 days at most… … .
‘You finished that only two hours after class started?’
Lois asked with a curious look.
“Did you roughly do it?”
“That’s roughly it! Coordination is directly related to the pilot’s life! There’s no way you can do that half-heartedly! “I’ve already been tested!”
“Ohh? “Is it pretty?”
“Haha, I have been learning for over 10 years by doing errands at the bottom of a maintenance workshop! If you’re tuning an unarmed level 4 transcendental machine, you can do it with your eyes closed! “If it had been our workshop manager, he would have finished it in just 20 minutes.”
“Hoo?”
It seems that Shiva’s teacher was quite skilled.
‘This guy who has digested the teacher’s teachings seems to be quite talented.’
Lois nodded.
“As expected, it’s narrow-eyed.”
“… Why does the story about narrowed eyes come out there?”
“It’s a compliment?”
“This is the first time in the world I’ve ever heard that having small eyes is a compliment.”
“Yes, such a compliment.”
Basically, characters with narrow eyes have tremendous potential.
Of course, Lois didn’t tell me that.
This is because I did not want to see Shiva being puffed up for no reason.
At that time, Shiva, who had been grumbling slightly, suddenly lowered his voice and asked.
“But Lois, don’t you coordinate?”
To that question, Lois spoke loudly as if it was no big deal.
“I want to coordinate, but my partner is so uncooperative.”
Sierra’s eyebrows twitched as if she heard Lois’s sarcasm.
But that was the only reaction.
I just look away again without saying anything.
Shiba said with an awkward laugh at the attitude of the two.
“Ahaha, that… Still, you have to coordinate… Our transcendental machine inherited the one used by our seniors from the control class who graduated, so it will be difficult to control it if you don’t tune it. Even if minute conditions such as gender, habits, amount of attribute power, etc. change, the burden on the pilot increases greatly… … .”
Shiva’s words were addressed to Sierra, not Lois.
If you don’t coordinate, it will be difficult for the pilot, so stop and get coordinated… It was Shiva’s advice.
As if that wasn’t enough, he walked up to Sierra’s side and whispered softly.
“I know because I’m in the same room as that person… Once you become frustrated, he will never reach out to you first, so approach him first. Still, he is not the kind of person who mercilessly pushes away an outstretched hand.”
Of course, there was no way Lois couldn’t hear that whisper.
“What are you talking about?”
“Eek?!”
When Lois turned on the double wick, Shiva, who was startled, quickly left the place.
Shiva, who was chatting like that, disappeared and the two were once again enveloped in silence.
Sierra sighed as she looked at Lois’ profile with the book open again.
“ha… … .”
Her face was very complex.
‘Yes, because I can’t stay like this forever.’
This is a partner I will be with for the next three years.
And it was you who made the wrong start with him.
This awkward atmosphere was the result of his own making, so it was right to approach him first.
Sierra walked towards Lois and opened her mouth.
“What happened last time… “I apologize again.”
Is it nature or concept?
His tone was as stiff as that of a soldier, but it was still a sincere apology.
At this, Lois’s hand, which had been turning the pages, stopped.
When he turned his head, his sullen eyes fell on Sierra.
Lois stared at her like that for a moment, then closed the book, stood up, and stared at Sierra.
“If you want to apologize, shouldn’t you tell us why you behaved that way?”
“… … .”
At those words, Sierra fell silent again.
It’s like I can’t even say that much.
Sierra spoke again in a low voice as Lois continued to look at her sullenly.
“There were personal circumstances… “Please understand.”
“… … .”
This time there was no answer from Lois.
I just looked at Sierra.
Sierra slightly looked away at the gaze that seemed to see through her inner thoughts.
Lois also gave a sullen look.
‘Well, you just have to find out the reason gradually.’
Since he was the first to bend over his pride and approach me, I was thinking of accepting him at this level.
If you inquire further here, your relationship will only worsen.
After making that decision, Lois approached Sierra and asked.
“Have you ever operated a transcendental plane?”
“… … ?!”
Sierra looks slightly surprised by Lois’ surprise question.
“That… how?”
“How and what and how?” “You just know it when you see it.”
After saying that, Lois walked over and scanned Sierra’s entire body from head to bottom.
As if that wasn’t enough, he went behind her and scanned her entire body.
Just as Sierra was about to get angry at his sudden gaze, Lois struck first.
“Follow me.”
“… … ?”
Before Sierra could ask again, Lois took the lead.
The place he is heading to is a simple staircase next to the transcendental machine.
Sierra, who was staring blankly at his back as he headed toward the cockpit of the Transcendence Fighter, quickly walked away.
Tak-tak-.
The sound of two people’s footsteps echoed on the wooden stairs.
Push-.
Royce went up first and opened the rear boarding compartment of the Transcendence Fighter.
Lois pointed to the inside of the exposed cockpit.
“Go in.”
Is it because of the sudden situation, or is it because of Royce’s strength?
Sierra couldn’t respond and sat in the cockpit as Lois told her to do.
A cockpit full of silver.
The spacious chair had four holes for the arms and legs and a circlet.
Lois’ voice came to the ears of Sierra, who was sitting on a chair and casually wearing a circlet on her head.
“Try syncing.”
Sierra nodded at Lois’ command.
synchronization.
Work on linking the transcendental plane and the pilot.
The method was simple.
Hold the bar inside the hole where you put both arms and powerfully inject elemental power.
Sierra infused elemental power the way she knew how.
OK.
Tsutsutsu-.
A circuit technique emitted a faint light from the chair Sierra was sitting on.
Jiing-.
A red border appeared on her dark green irises.
This was proof that synchronization had occurred successfully.
And Sierra felt as if she had become a giant.
Arms, legs, and vision, etc.
Transcendence and a shared sense.
She became a 10m giant.
Her heart pounded with a sensation that only a transcendent pilot could feel.
But soon, discomfort appeared on Sierra’s face.
‘It’s uncomfortable… … .’
Not only the focus of vision, but also the arms and legs, sense of balance, etc.
Everything was out of alignment.
Although I was wearing armor, it felt like I was wearing armor that was too big.
‘It looks like the previous owner was bigger than me.’
If the former pilot had been shorter than her, it would have felt tight rather than loose.
All of this was a result of lack of coordination.
It was also a phenomenon that showed why coordination is important.
“This is so… … .”
Just as Sierra was about to express her feelings, she heard Lois’ voice.
“Stop coming out.”
“… what?”
“I’ve figured it out, so please stop.”
The feeling of transcendence is felt only by pilots.
Therefore, the technical wizard had to listen to the pilot’s feelings and adjust them little by little to suit the pilot’s senses.
Even experienced technical experts have to exchange opinions with pilots over and over again… … .
“You want me to come out?”
“uh. “Stop coming out.”
“… … .”
“What are you doing? “Do you want me to come out quickly?”
At Lois’s urging, Sierra cut off synchronization with a puzzled expression.
As soon as she came out, Lois quickly entered the cockpit.
He immediately picked up the circlet.
OK.
Tsutsutsu-.
The circuitry of the circlet and chair blinked once.
Sierra then said as if she was dumbfounded towards Lois, who had left the circlet behind without any hesitation.
“What did you do now?”
“What are you doing? It’s coordinated.”
“if… Have you ever coordinated somewhere?”
No, even if we had coordinated in advance, this went too far.
Isn’t that the end of him just going in and out for a moment without even listening to himself?
But Lois’ answer was even more shocking.
“No, is this your first time? “This is my first time entering the cockpit.”
It was my first time.
I saw the cockpit of a transcendence plane other than the one I made.
“now… “Are you trying to play a joke with me?”
“What a joke.”
Lois answered sullenly.
Sierra’s face turned cold at this.
“you… … .”
Just as she was about to pour out a cold criticism.
Trudging-.
Footsteps were heard and two people appeared.
“How is it going?”
“You didn’t do anything until a while ago, but it looks like you’ve finally started.”
These were teaching assistants walking around the lecture hall.
Lois smiled and responded to their appearance.
“I almost finished it.”
“under?”
Lois’ answer solidified the impressions of the teaching assistants.
Group 33 was the only one in their area that was doing nothing.
While I was looking after the other group, they were not there so I came to the cockpit, but they said that coordination had already been completed.
That’s roughly as well.
In response, the two teaching assistants started nagging.
“There is no such thing as rough coordination. Don’t use such words in the future. “Because your mistake could cost a life.”
“You’ll find out if it’s finished or not when you check.”
“Who is the Group 33 pilot?”
“… That’s me.”
As Sierra stepped forward, the instructor pointed to the cockpit with his chin.
“I’ll take a look, so go in and sync it. Attach this to the control circlet. “It is a device that checks synchronization.”
Saying that, the teaching assistant held out a line connected to the black metal plate he was holding.
“… yes.”
Looking at Lois with an unpleasant gaze, she entered the cockpit without saying anything and connected the wires to the circlet as the instructor instructed.
And Sierra’s face, wearing it on her head, was full of displeasure.
‘I don’t like it.’
Lois’s intrusive attitude and strange atmosphere.
And strangely enough, I found myself caught up in it.
The teaching assistants suddenly appeared there, and I was in a situation where I couldn’t say what I wanted to say.
‘I’d better just get this over with and make it clear.’
No matter how wrong you were in the beginning, this kind of attitude is not good.
If you have a complaint, say it directly, and if you don’t want to do it, don’t do it.
That would be less tiring for both parties.
But those thoughts were completely blown away when synchronization occurred.
“… … ?!”
Sierra’s face, which was full of discomfort, became blank.
“uh?”
Sierra was so surprised that a dumb sound came out of her mouth.
‘this… how?’
A time that was hard to capture.
It felt like I was wearing loose armor.
All my senses that had been greatly misaligned were back in place.
No, it was a feeling she had experienced for the first time, even though she had already ridden it several times.
‘Perfectly tailored… ‘It’s like I’m wearing a tailored suit.’
The feeling of wearing comfortable, luxurious, yet highly active clothes.
While she was so dazed, Sierra’s synchronization value was recorded on the board held by the teaching assistant.
Beep beep-.
Numbers on the sync checker flashing green.
[99/100]
Surprised voices naturally came out from the teaching assistants who saw this.
“… … ?!”
“Synchronization figures… Ninety-nine?!”
Contrary to the assistants’ reactions, Royce muttered angrily after seeing the synchronization figures.
“Ah, I just did a quick guess and I missed it by 1.”
