In Fangzheng's opinion, Shinji's training in the anime had always been very stupid.
It was very stupid from beginning to end.
So of course he had to … change it.
"Listen up, Shinji."
Standing in the gym, Fangzheng held a wooden katana in his hand and looked at the uneasy Shinji with a grin.
"You have to understand that if you want to accept my teaching, it's going to be very, very painful. I might beat you until you cry … Are you sure you're okay?"
"I …."
Faced with Fangzheng's question, Shinji didn't know what to say for a while. He lowered his head and hesitated for a while before answering in a low voice.
"That … I don't know …."
"Okay, let's analyze it first."
Fangzheng didn't expect Shinji to give him any answer, so he coughed and said.
"You should understand by now that you're the pilot of the Eva … Well, to put it bluntly, you can't run away from the Eva. You have to pilot it."
"I know …."
"No, no, no, this is different."
Faced with Shinji's complaints, Fangzheng waved his hand.
"You've piloted an Eva before, so you should know that it's different from ordinary robots. You'll feel pain when it gets hurt … right?"
"Yeah …."
Hearing this, Shinji unconsciously touched his waist. He had felt the pain when the Eva was penetrated by the Fourth Apostle, so he naturally understood what Fangzheng meant.
"Have you fought before?"
"…."
Faced with Fangzheng's question, Shinji was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"Then guess, what's the first step in a fight?"
"This …. How do you fight?"
"Wrong."
Fangzheng waved his hand.
"You have to learn how to take a beating."
"… Huh?"
"Let's get straight to the point. You're piloting an Eva to fight an Apostle … Okay, that's a more elegant way of saying it, but in fact, you're piloting an Eva to fight an Apostle, right?"
"Uh …."
When he thought back to his previous battle with the fourth apostle, he really didn't have the courage to retort.
"Learning to take a beating doesn't mean that you have to actually take a beating. Instead, it allows you to accumulate combat experience. This way, it will be easier for you to make judgments."
With that said, Fangzheng shook the wooden sword in his hand.
"This brings me to the second point. In battle, you don't need to rely on other people's orders."
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Shinji was confused again.
"But Mirari-san said …"
"I understand what First Lieutenant Ge Cheng said, but on the battlefield, the situation is different."
As he spoke, Fangzheng raised his right hand and gestured a gun at Shinji.
"You see, Shinji, if I had a gun in my hand, and I raised it to point at you, would you find a place to hide? Or are you going to hide when someone calls for you? "
"Ah …"
"Understood? There's a lag in other people's orders. Even if they really make the right judgment, it's very likely that they will make mistakes because they don't have enough time. So, you don't need to listen to orders from the rear. After all, you're the one fighting the apostles on the battlefield. You have the first choice of what to do. Of course, if the Operations Department arranges a plan, you still have to follow it. But as for how to do it … you don't need First Lieutenant Ge Cheng to teach you. "
"So, what am I going to learn now?"
"Hone your intuition."
"Intuition?"
"That's right."
Looking at the silly Shinji in front of him, Fangzheng chuckled.
"You've never fought before, and you've never suffered before. That way, even if danger comes to you, you'll just stay there and wait for death. That's not going to work, so we have to hone your intuition first. At least let you feel the presence of danger, then learn how to avoid it. "
"…."
Hearing this, Shinji fell silent again.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't care. It doesn't matter to others anyway. My life or death doesn't matter …"
"You don't care?"
"Of course."
"Good."
As he spoke, Fangzheng raised his wooden katana and pointed it at the spot between Shinji's legs.
"… Mr. Fangzheng, what are you doing …."
Seeing this, Shinji's face suddenly turned pale. He instinctively tightened his legs.
"Aren't you not afraid of death? I won't really kill you, but I can let you experience pain worse than death …. What do you think? "
"Wait, wait a minute …! I think, Mr. Fangzheng, I think we can discuss …. "
"Questions and answers are useless. Remember, you know better than me what will happen if you can't avoid it!"
"No!!!!"
Hearing the screams coming from the gym, Rinbori silently paused for a moment, then … turned around and went back to her room.
In the following days, Shinji's "hell" descended.
For an autistic child like Shinji, a heart-to-heart talk was meaningless. There were so many psychologists in the world, but how many of them could cure an autistic child? What's more, this was not a psychotherapy session. The apostles could attack at any time. Therefore, the method Fangzheng adopted was simple and direct.
That was the Spartan training in hell!
Every morning, he would wake up and run, then eat, go to school, go home, and continue training. When he was hungry, he would go eat, eat, and then continue training. After training, he would take a shower and fall asleep in exhaustion.
To put it bluntly, he did not give Shinji the chance to let his imagination run wild.
The more time an autistic child like him was given, the easier it was for him to let his imagination run wild. On the contrary, after being caught and forced to train every day, he had no time to think about these things. Fourteen years old was the age of growth. Hunger and lack of food were already problems. Who would have the time to think about things like "Does he like me or not? Why am I so annoying?" when his head was buried in the dining table?
The stomach was the most important thing in the world, right?
Shinji was quite obedient. Although he was not used to it at first, Fangzheng really did not give him the chance to let his imagination run wild. In addition, although the training was indeed strict, the taste of the food was rather good. Fangzheng was already very adept at dealing with this, so it was naturally easy for him to deal with a mere Shinji.
Shinji got used to it, got used to it, got used to it, and then …
"Huh? Is the apostle coming? "
Shinji looked at Ge Chengmeili in front of him with a dumbfounded look on his face. He had been so engrossed in training these days that when Ge Chengmeili came to call him, he almost forgot what he was supposed to do. Fangzheng, who was next to him, chuckled and said, "That's right.
Robot Zero will also be dispatched this time. Get ready. "
"Ah, yes!"
Shinji had been trained by Fangzheng to have an instinctive reaction after so many days. When he heard the order, he immediately nodded, turned around, and left. Ge Chengmeili stared at Shinji's back for a long time and did not come back to her senses. Based on her understanding of Shinji, she originally thought that the young man would throw a tantrum or something, but he actually acted on the order without saying a word?
Ge Chengmeili could not help but look at Fangzheng in confusion.
What did he do to this autistic young man?
The one who attacked this time was naturally the most handsome among the apostles, one of the most powerful, the fifth apostle, Thunder Angel. Its outer appearance looked like two pyramids merged together. Compared to Little Clearwater and the truly indescribable fourth apostle who could only make an appearance after being pixelated, the fifth apostle's appearance really was like a science fiction story that broke through the horizon.
"Target has entered the sky above Lake of Weed!"
On the screen, the Fifth Apostle was gradually approaching the third city of New Tokyo. At the same time, Robot Zero and Robot Zero were ready.
"Launch!"
With Ge Chengmeili's command, the two EVAs that had completed their preparations were quickly ejected and shot towards the ground.
Now's the time.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fangzheng stroked his chin. If he remembered correctly, the Fifth Apostle almost turned Robot Zero into a roasted chicken the moment he saw it. Of course, that was because Shinji himself was not good at fighting back then, but now that he had been taught a harsh lesson by Sheyan's hellish Spartan training, he should be fine.
Besides, Sheyan still had a backup plan ….
Sure enough, at that moment, an alarm suddenly rang.
"A high energy reaction is occurring inside the target!"
"What?!"
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.
"The circumference is accelerating, it's shrinking!"
"Not good!"
Seeing the analysis pattern in front of her, Aruko Akagi's expression changed drastically. At that moment, Robot Zero and Robot Zero were sent to the ground.
"Not good, get out of the way!"
Ge Chengmeili sensed that the situation was not good and hurriedly gave the order.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Before she could finish her sentence, a beam of light burst out from the gap between the Fifth Apostle's restraints and shot towards Robot Zero!
It's over!
Something bad is going to happen!
Looking at this scene, almost all the staff broke out in cold sweat. But what happened next made their jaws drop.
Almost at the same time, the Unit-01 abruptly crouched down and did a roll to break free of the restraint device, before abruptly dodging to the side. Meanwhile, the beam of light the fifth apostle fired seemed to have brushed past Prototype No. 1, striking where it was originally located!
"Boom!!!"
There was an explosion and sparks flew everywhere. The staff all breathed a sigh of relief. They did not expect Robot Zero to react so quickly. It actually managed to dodge the Apostle's surprise attack.
It's just that … .its posture looked a little weird.
Robot Zero was curled up behind a nearby building, its thighs tightened and its hands covering its crotch …. Well, a robot doing this kind of action was too unsightly.
But …..
As long as it's useful, it's fine, right?
Fangzheng looked at Robot Zero on the screen, which looked as if it was afraid that someone would burst its ass. Whether it looked good or not, practicality was the most important thing. He had been training Shinji for so many days just for this. Now it seemed that Shinji's reflexes had been trained by him.
Compared to the smug Fangzheng, Shinji in the cockpit was covered in cold sweat when he saw the big hole made by the Thunder Angel. Indeed, Fangzheng's special training could be said to be quite effective, but it could also be described as insane. In order to keep Shinji vigilant at all times, Fangzheng even gave Toji Suzuhara and Toji a task, which was to keep an eye on Shinji in the school, and once he showed any flaws, they would give him a Millennium Kill.
Since the battle with the Fourth Apostle, the relationship between the two who were saved and Shinji had improved a lot. They naturally would not refuse this kind of action to "increase the friendship between men". As a result, Shinji had to worry about his backdoor exploding at school every day.
But now, the effect of the training had shown itself, and so had the after-effects. Every time he felt a murderous aura, Shinji would feel a burning pain in his back ….
Damn it, how could he get better after a while?
Thinking of this, Shinji glared at the Fifth Apostle with eyes full of murderous intent.
I'm going to kill you this time!!
