While Di Yuan Hall was feeling depressed, Rinboli and the Apostle were also fighting back and forth. Although the previous battle between the allied forces did not cause much damage to Little Water, at least some of its abilities were exposed. For example, Rinboli knew that Little Water had a lightsaber in its palm that could shrink and shrink at will, and that its eyes could shoot Death Rays. Therefore, she had specially carried out defensive measures against this.
Now that Ge Chengmei was not here, Rinboli strictly followed Fangzheng's orders. First, she would not let the Apostle get close to the third New Tokyo, then … then she would think about how to get rid of it.
Rinboli could not do anything to Little Water for the time being, but Little Water was very depressed. It just wanted to go to the third New Tokyo immediately, but this damn guy kept getting in its way. Not only that, it was not as easily destroyed as the previous guys.
What made Little Water even angrier was that the Apostle did not come up to fight it head-on at all. Every time it wanted to leave, it would come up to delay it, and when it wanted to attack, it would run away faster than anyone else and fire a volley of bullets at it.
Frankly speaking, although these bullets did very little damage to Little Water, Little Water was still losing HP after being hit by the A.T. Field!
If its HP was 3,000, then Rinboli could only deal 30 damage to it at most with a round of attacks.
But it could not withstand continuous attacks.
Wouldn't it still die if it fought for a hundred rounds?!
Little Water could not really let Rinboli kite it for a hundred rounds. In fact, Little Water had already made a decision after Rinboli had reduced one-fifth of its HP.
It would get rid of this annoying guy first, then move on!
Then, Little Silvery immediately turned around, flew up, and pounced towards Robot Zero.
If it was anyone else, they would have been caught off guard by the Apostle's sudden counterattack. But Rinboli strictly followed orders. Although the previous back and forth battle was very boring, Rinboli did not let her guard down. When she saw the Apostle pouncing towards her, she hurriedly controlled Machine Zero to roll on the ground to avoid the Apostle's attack.
"Cover her immediately!"
Seeing this, Akagi Ruiko immediately issued an order, but was stopped by Fangzheng.
"Don't, don't, don't! You guys can't even break the Apostle's Skin, and you've even created dust everywhere to block our vision. Are you attacking the enemy, or are you protecting the enemy?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Akagi Ritsuko was speechless.
"Are there any melee weapons among the Eva's weapons? Like a sword and a shield? "
"A sword and … a shield?"
"That's right. Similar weapons are fine as long as they are melee weapons. Do you have them?"
"Yes! But … "
"Bring it to Rinbo immediately!"
"Alright."
At this time, Akagi Ruiko had no other choice, so she nodded in response to Fangzheng's request. After all, although NERV had made a lot of plans for the Apostles' attack, this was their first battle after all. She wasn't sure if it would work, but since Fangzheng said so, she had to give it a try.
"Send Zero to Area E28! Prepare the weapon system! "
Upon receiving the order, Robot Zero immediately turned around and ran towards the edge of New Tokyo III. At the same time, the side of a nearby automatic building suddenly ejected open, revealing a sci-fi style dagger. But ….
"We really don't have a shield."
Akagi Ruiko had no other choice. In this day and age, the reason why swords were made was to consider the melee combat needs of the Eva against the Apostles. It was a backup plan. As for a shield, who would even think of making one?
"It's okay, Rei. Tear down the board of that building and use it as a shield! Take the sword and hack at it! "
"Yes."
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Rinbo Rei, who had already rushed to the target location, hurriedly stretched out her hand and grabbed the board of the door. At the same time, she held the short sword ejected from the building with her right hand and turned to face the Apostle. At the same time, Little Shade flew into the air again. He stretched out his right hand towards Zero. A lightsaber immediately flew out from the centre of the Apostle's right hand and stabbed at Zero.
Seeing this, everyone in the NERV headquarters could not help but feel nervous. However, what happened in front of them in the next moment surprised them.
Facing the Apostle's lightsaber, Zero suddenly bent over and raised the shield in his hand. The moment the lightsaber stabbed at him, the shield forcibly deflected the attack. This caused the Apostle to lose its balance and fall back awkwardly. At the same time, Zero seized the opportunity to swing the short sword in his hand forward and cut off the Apostle's right arm!
Poor Little Shade had never suffered such a big loss before. In the anime, he was twisted into a fried dough twist by the berserk Zero Robot Zero, so his death was not unjustified. But here, having one of Zero's swords directly cut off his arm would be extremely frustrating.
If Little Water could speak, he would definitely be shouting, "My King's Power Ahhhhhhhh!!"
Unfortunately, Zero wouldn't listen to its cries. After chopping off Little Slime's right hand with a single slash, it charged forward, its left hand holding the shield in front of its body, while the dagger in its right hand pierced straight into the red core in the chest of the third apostle!
At this time, Little Slime also realized that the situation was hopeless. His entire body suddenly bounced up like soft mud, and then he completely wrapped Machine Zero in it!
The next moment, a dazzling light rose into the sky.
"… Ahhh …"
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded. They just stared blankly at the pillar of light rising into the sky in front of them, unable to speak for a long time.
"Where's Zero?"
Ruiko Akagi quickly reacted and asked. But before the staff member could answer, a huge black figure slowly walked out of the flames and the light of the explosion. It raised its head, and a big green eyeball shone under the reflection of the flames …
"…"
Seeing this, Fangzheng reached out his hand and pressed it against his forehead speechlessly.
How cool was the scene of Zero Robot Zero walking out?
Why does it look so funny when it's Zero?
Sure enough, big eyeballs are not cool at all!
I'll change my helmet next time.
Although Fangzheng looked a little funny, the destruction of the Third Apostle still made the staff in NERV cheer. Except for Di Yuan Hall, who looked like someone owed them a million dollars, everyone else was in a good mood.
After that, Machine Zero was quickly retracted. Fortunately, although the self-destruction of the apostle in the end seemed to be a big deal, it only caused some damage to the outside of Machine Zero and did not harm its core. Rinboli herself had only suffered some minor injuries. Because of the shield's protection, it wasn't too much of a hindrance. However, she still needed to rest in the ICU for a night. After all, this was the first time she had fought against an apostle. Even though it wasn't a big deal, she still couldn't let her guard down.
After accompanying Rinbori for a boring hospital meal in the ward, Rinbori fell asleep. Not long after, Fangzheng received a call from Ruiko Akagi.
"Hello? Dr. Akagi? What's the matter? Huh? First Lieutenant Gecheng …? Ah, I see. Commander Ding has agreed? That's fine. In that case, I have nothing else to say. Well, that's all. "
After a short conversation, Fangzheng hung up the phone. It was Ruiko Akagi who called, and Fangzheng knew what she was going to say.
Due to Robot Zero's activity, there was no chance for Robot Zero to show off. Therefore, after Robot Zero destroyed the apostles, Ge Chengmeili brought Ding Shinji to NERV. Although it was different from the plot, and Fangzheng didn't know what Ding Yujō said, Ding Shinji still reluctantly agreed to stay.
Perhaps Ge Chengmeili and Ike Shinji had developed a feeling of mutual appreciation during the process of picking Ike Shinji up. When she learned that Ike Shinji would not live with his father but would be sent to Fangzheng's place, Ike Shinji decisively called Ike Shinji and asked him to live in her house. Di Yuan Hall had no objection to this.
Ruiko Akagi was naturally furious about this, but she had no choice. After all, she was Ge Chengmeili's good friend, so she could only help her by calling Fangzheng and asking for Ike Shinji's forgiveness. One had to know that this was overstepping his authority. If it was not good, who knew how he would be dealt with.
Fangzheng was already mentally prepared for this. Unlike Rinbori, who had a "backup", Ike Shinji occupied a very important position in Di Yuan Hall's plan. As for Fangzheng's methods, everyone in NERV also saw them and remembered them. In less than a month, he had already educated Rinbori into a completely different person. One could imagine how worried Ike Shinji would be if Ike Shinji fell into his hands.
Not to mention, he was a special SEELE employee.
Fangzheng imagined that even without Ge Chengmeili's interference, Di Yuan Hall might have found other ways to keep him away from Ike Shinji …. Of course, from the fact that Di Yuan Hall did not ask him to pick up Ike Shinji from the beginning, it was obvious that Di Yuan Hall did not intend to let him touch his unprecious son.
But … ….
Thinking of this, Fangzheng chuckled.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I don't touch him just because you told me not to?
Fangzheng didn't even need to use any special methods to get in touch with Ike Shinji, because …
"Hello, Ike Shinji."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Fangzheng smiled and reached out his hand.
"My name is Fangzheng. I'm the person in charge of NERV's special personnel management class. I'm currently a teacher in this school."
"Ah, hello …."
Facing Fangzheng, the autistic young man, Ike Shinji, was obviously a little uneasy, but he still reached out his hand and shook hands with Fangzheng.
"If you have any troubles or worries, you can come to me at any time. I'll be in the medical room."
That's right, as the person in charge of the pilots, Fangzheng, of course, had to stay in the school. But this time, he did not take on any troublesome duties. Instead, he became a health doctor. After all, when the apostles came, Fangzheng had to go with them. He couldn't be in charge of the affairs of a class. As a health doctor, things were obviously much more relaxed and free.
Because Ike Shinji did not pilot the Prototype, he was naturally spared from being beaten up by a certain chuunibyou. But even so, his environment in the class was not much better. Ike Shinji was a taciturn person, and he was not very active in the class.
Although he was not ostracized, he was just so-so.
In the next few days, everyone had a rare moment of leisure.
Fangzheng naturally took Rinbori to and from school every day. Of course, he would occasionally pick up Ike Shinji. Because Ike Shinji and Rinbori did not meet in front of the Prototype, Ike Shinji kept a respectful distance from Rinbori. Although Rinbori gradually began to learn to communicate with others, she was not as familiar with them as Asuka, so she naturally did not say much to Ike Shinji.
In addition, Fangzheng also took the time to attend the combat meeting between Akagi Ruiko and Geicheng Misato, and gave his opinion.
In Fangzheng's opinion, the A.T. Field and launching attacks were obviously normal combat methods, so long-range weapons were not very effective. He suggested using close-range weapons instead. In fact, this was also the result of Fangzheng's teaching. During the days he spent with Rinbori, apart from meditation, Fangzheng also taught Rinbori about the use of swordsmanship.
Of course, with Rinbori's body, it was impossible for her to learn the Wolf Sword Style. This was not to say that her physical attributes were not up to standard, because the Eva's physical attributes were high enough. But the problem was that the Wolf Sword Style was a large sword after all. If it was as large as the Eva, from an aerodynamic point of view, it would reduce speed and reaction time. Therefore, Fangzheng only taught Rinbori the simplest sword and shield tactics. Holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, she could attack and defend, advance and retreat at will.
In fact, the anime also proved that the best way to deal with the Apostles was to use a close-range weapon, but the problem was that you had to choose the right weapon …
NERV had enough funds, not to mention that the sword and shield tactics had performed well in the battle against the Third Apostle. Therefore, neither Akagi Ruiko nor Geicheng Misato refused Fangzheng's request.
Not long after that, the Fourth Apostle finally appeared.
But this time, when Fangzheng brought Rinbori to the headquarters, he was told that because the Zero Robot had not been repaired, Shinji could only pilot the Zero Robot to attack alone.
'Wow.'
Fangzheng just chuckled when he heard the news.
The Di Yuan Hall really put in a lot of effort to let the Zero Robot show off. Although the Zero Robot was indeed slightly injured due to its self-destruction in the battle with Little Clearwater, it was not serious. It wouldn't take that long to repair it. From this, it could be seen that someone was playing tricks on him.
But Fangzheng didn't care.
'Let's see what you can do.'
